When the call was connected, Gu's mother's voice came from the other end, "Where are you?"
Gu Xiaoqiao quickly replied, "I'm downstairs in the residential complex and will be right back."
She understood that Mother Gu was afraid that he would go to find Lu Mingxuan, and was even more afraid that the daughter she had raised with great difficulty would be ruined by such a person.
Gu Xiaoqiao returned home, but his father had not come back yet. Only his mother was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding her cell phone in her hand with a bad look on her face.
"mom."
She cried out, "I'm back!"
When Mother Gu heard Gu Xiaoqiao's voice, she looked up at her and asked, "Where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
"A classmate had something to do with me tonight, so I came back a little late."
Gu Xiaoqiao made up a lie and asked casually, "Where's Gu Xiaozhou? Hasn't he come back yet?"
When this was mentioned, Mother Gu's expression became even more gloomy. Neither of these two children could be worry-free.
"He said he has something to do tonight and might be back late."
"oh."
Gu Xiaoqiao responded calmly, then sat down next to her mother. "Mom, when you went to the hospital today, what was that person's attitude? Did he agree?"
When Mother Gu heard what Gu Xiaoqiao said, she sat up straighter, smoothed her hair around her ears, and said with unusual conviction, "Of course. Is there anything I can't do in person?"
Besides, the other party’s purpose is to get more money. Now that the money has met their psychological expectations, there is no need for them to get involved in that mess again.
"Has the agreement been signed? When will the other party be discharged from the hospital?" Gu Xiaoqiao asked.
Mother Gu waved her hand. "It's all settled. The man has agreed to a discharge date, but it will take another two days."
"I see."
Gu Xiaoqiao nodded, "Mom, you are so awesome!"
When Mother Gu heard her daughter's praise, she smiled, which was a rare moment during this period.
The mother and daughter talked for a while before Gu Xiaoqiao washed up and returned to her room.
As she lay on the bed and turned on her cell phone, she saw that Gu Xiaozhou had called her more than a dozen times in a row, and many messages popped up on WeChat.
[Sister, where are you? ]
[Where are you? I'll pick you up!]
Speak up!
【Where are the people? Where are the people?】
【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 】
…
[Fuck, don't scare me! If you don't reply, I'm going to call the police!]
Gu Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. Lu Zhiheng appeared so suddenly that he even forgot to tell Gu Xiaozhou.
She immediately sent a message back to Gu Xiaozhou.
[Hey, I'm home, come back soon! ]
Soon, news came from Gu Xiaozhou: [He's back home?]
[Well, come back soon, and be careful on the road! ]
Gu Xiaozhou, who was on the other side of the screen, felt relieved when he heard the news.
He felt that his sister had changed a little. Although she had been nice to him before, she was a little aloof and would not be as close to him as she is now.
But he also likes this change.
…
The next day, Gu Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiaozhou got up and went out again, continuing to work on the unfinished tasks.
Go through the industrial and commercial registration and find a decoration company.
They were busy until dusk, when they finally had time to go to the restaurant for dinner.
Gu Xiaozhou sat on the chair and glanced out the window. Outside was a bustling city with dazzling neon lights.
And in front of him was a plate of exquisite French foie gras.
"Sister, why do I feel so unreal?"
Gu Xiaozhou stared at the foie gras in front of him in a daze. "It feels like I'm dreaming these past two days. It's so unreal."
Gu Xiaoqiao chuckled. "What's so unreal about this? This is just the beginning. We'll be busy from now on. You have to work hard and strive to make us a lot of money."
"Of course!"
If the restaurant's environment wasn't so elegant, Gu Xiaozhou would have almost promised it with a pat on his chest.
Gu Xiaoqiao picked up the red wine glass and raised it towards Gu Xiaozhou, "Cheers!"
Gu Xiaozhou also picked up the wine glass in his hand and raised it up.
The two smiled at each other, raised their heads and drank the red wine in their glasses.
After putting down the wine glass, Gu Xiaoqiao's cell phone suddenly rang.
She frowned when she saw the number displayed on it.
You don't have to think about who is calling.
She reached out and hung up the phone displayed on the screen, then threw the phone on the table beside her and lowered her head to start cutting steak.
Gu Xiaozhou looked at Gu Xiaoqiao's movements and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, who is this?"
Gu Xiaoqiao didn't even raise her head and said nonchalantly, "He's just an insignificant person, why do you care?"
Gu Xiaozhou curled his lips, feeling that it was not that simple.
When the person on the other end of the phone saw that he was hung up, his face instantly turned dark, and he stared at the phone in his hand with gritted teeth.
Gu Xiaoqiao, ah Gu Xiaoqiao, she is really something. She managed to defeat all of them yesterday.
Did she pretend to be drunk that night just to get into Lu Zhiheng's bed?
That means that now that you have climbed up the big tree of Lu Zhiheng, you simply don't take him seriously, right?
This damn bitch, since that’s the case, he’ll let her see who’s the boss!
He then immediately made another call.
The phone beeped a few times and was quickly connected, and the sound of attack came from the other end.
"Mr. Lu?"
"The last time I told you to do something, you told him not to be discharged from the hospital, and then find a way to make the matter bigger."
"ah?"
"Ah what? Are you deaf?"
"But Mr. Lu... I just received news today..."
The person on the other side explained cautiously, and Lu Mingxuan instantly became furious.
"No, when did I agree? Do you have a pig brain?"
…
With a "click", the phone was thrown hard onto the floor by him, making a crisp and sharp sound.
A hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes.
I didn't expect that this woman, who is still young, is so thoughtful. It turns out that she trapped him yesterday just for what happened today?
Good, good, he really underestimated her more and more.
However, in that case, he would play with her!
If she can't kill him, he will be her grandson!
......
The other side.
While Gu Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiaozhou were having dinner, the cell phone rang again.
She took the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. It was less than three minutes after Lu Mingxuan called her.
Without thinking, she clicked reject.
But when the other party saw that he refused, she called her again. After this cycle repeated several times, Gu Xiaoqiao became angry.
After answering the phone, before the other party could even speak, she immediately demanded, "What do you want? Are you done yet?"
The voice coming from the other side made Gu Xiaoqiao stunned.
"What do I want?"
The man on the other end of the phone spoke in a cold and distant tone.
This voice is not Lu Mingxuan's.
"Boss Lu?"
Gu Xiaoqiao asked uncertainly.
