Chapter 240: Fire



Wan Hexing accompanied Xu Jiajia to buy a lot of things needed for the wedding. Wan Hexing has no parents, so he can only prepare them by himself. He relies on Gu Xi's slightly experienced reminders. He also silently memorized everything in his heart. When Wan Xi gets married, he will prepare a portion for her as well.

Wan Hexing always felt that he owed Jiajia: "Jiajia, thank you for your hard work. You still have to worry about the wedding by yourself. I don't know anything. You are not as good as Brother Xu, who is smart and organized. I don't know anything."

Xu Jiajia didn't care about these things at all: "I chose you because you are honest and family-oriented. You don't have to care about these details. You live your own life. I think it's good this way. Now I buy things that I really need and like. It's great not to waste unnecessary expenses."

Gu Xi also thought it was good: "I was the one who accompanied Wang Xu to buy it. He just needs to pay for whatever I want. You can give the money to Jiajia and don't have to worry about anything else. You have already defeated 90% of men."

Wan Hexing felt that he was convinced and felt a little better. His eyes were full of love for Xu Jiajia, which made people around him get goosebumps.

While chatting and laughing, Gu Xi saw a familiar figure flash by, and his expression instantly became serious.

Lin Ling noticed something was wrong with her and looked in the direction she was looking, but saw nothing: "What's wrong? What did you see?"

Gu Xi looked carefully but didn't see anything, so she shook her head: "Maybe I saw it wrong, I just saw Cong Bao flash by, he is still in school at this time."

Wu Yue couldn't help but joked, "You must have seen it wrong. Tian Congbao is a well-behaved boy and has good grades. You looked so serious all of a sudden, I thought you saw Wang Xu."

Gu Xi snorted, revealing a fierce expression: "Whether it's Tian Congbao or Wang Xu, if I meet them here at this time, it will be bad luck. I will definitely beat them up."

Wei Qingzhe looked at her with amusement: "With your limited strength, you can only give them a slap on the back. This Congbao is only fifteen years old, but he is almost half a head taller than you, and his body is firm. This child is really well raised."

With Wang Xu's introduction, the eldest sister from the supply and marketing cooperative got to know the drivers of the transport team and often helped them with resale. She made a lot of money and bought jobs for her two sons and one daughter. Now the whole family has a job and lives a happy life. She smiles all day long and is very affectionate to Gu Xi.

"Hey, sister, it's been a while since I last saw you. Every time, Xiao Wang comes by himself and says that you are busy with work and you should take care of your health. I will recommend something to you."

Gu Xi also missed her elder sister very much when she saw her elder sister: "My friend is getting married and needs a wedding quilt or something."

The eldest sister recognized Wan Hexing when she saw him: "Xiao Wan, you are getting married? Congratulations, I will give you a quilt and prepare other things for you."

Wan Hexing quickly refused: "Sister, how can I do that? If it doesn't work, I'll pay the price."

The eldest sister swiftly helped to carry a lot of things: "You call me sister, so we are one family. We are so familiar with each other. Don't worry about these things. Just for the sake of happiness and joy, just consider it as my gift money. You have helped me a lot. These are just insignificant."

Unable to resist the elder sister's enthusiasm, Wan Hexing accepted the quilt. After all, there was still a long way to go for cooperation.

Wei Qingzhe also bought Wu Yue a lot of food and a new dress. He wanted to buy her a pair of shoes, but the elder sister stopped him: "Young man, you can't give away shoes as a gift. You will grow further away."

This was the first time Wei Qingzhe had heard of this. Although he was a little superstitious, he still tried to avoid these bad things.

Wu Yue bought the shoes for herself and didn't care about the small amount of money at all. Wei Qing gave all his salary from the philosophy school to Wu Yue as pocket money, and usually kept the royalties he earned for his works to buy food and daily necessities for Wu Yue.

Wei Qingzhe initially wanted to send some money back home, but his family didn't need the money at all, so they told him not to send any more and to keep it for himself, so he saved a lot of the extra money.

As usual, they placed the food behind the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative and went to the state-owned restaurant to eat. While they were ordering, Gu Xi quickly ran to stand in front of the table in the corner. The two people who were concentrating on eating looked up and saw Gu Xi, and were instantly shocked.

Gu Xi was so angry that she felt that she had failed in her education: "Tian Congbao, you are so bold. You don't want to study hard, but you want to skip school to play, right? And you, I will tell your parents when Jinwa goes back. You two should eat quickly and come back with me after you finish eating!"

Several other people also saw Tian Congbao and Jinwa. As a teacher, Wu Yue never thought that the two would skip school: "Tian Congbao, I just praised you for being obedient and good at studying outside, and now I see you two skipping school. I don't know how to say hello to you."

Gu Xi snorted: "No need to say anything, let's eat, and then go back and let Wang Xu beat them up so that they will remember their lesson."

Wu Yue felt a little reluctant: "Children are bound to be naughty sometimes, so it's better not to hit them."

Gu Xi was not so easy to talk to this time: "Do you know that there are many human traffickers nowadays? People in their twenties have been kidnapped. Do you know how big a safety hazard this behavior is to run away without saying a word? I can understand being naughty, and I can understand the combination of work and rest when you are tired from studying, but I will never tolerate running to the town without permission. This matter must be severely punished here. There is nothing more serious than this for the time being.

If something happens to you, it will be a huge blow to your family and even your teachers at school. I will probably regret for the rest of my life that I didn't discover it in time and failed to educate you well.

Jinwa, your whole family dotes on you. They have worked so hard to raise you to be this big, healthy and smart. If something happens to you, your whole family will be devastated. How can your parents and grandparents survive?"

Tian Congbao and Jinwa were now afraid: "Gu Zhiqing, we are sorry. We know we were wrong."

Gu Xi ignored them and sat at the table next to her, waiting for the dishes ordered by Wan Hexing and his friends to be served.

Tian Congbao and Jinwa felt extremely heavy in their hearts when they saw that Gu Xi was unwilling to forgive. It was the first time that Tian Congbao saw Gu Xi so serious and angry. In his impression, everything could be communicated and understood.

Wu Yue wanted to say something to help, but Wei Qingzhe stuffed a mouthful of sweet and sour pork ribs into her mouth and stopped her from talking: "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. Just eat your meal. Gu Xi will know how to deal with it."

Wu Yue nodded and ate while observing Gu Xi.

The people who ate this meal were very cautious, especially Tian Congbao and Jinwa. After Gu Xi came in, the food no longer smelled good to them. They lowered their heads and dared not eat anything. They just wanted to wait for Gu Xi's forgiveness.

Gu Xi ate her meal by herself, and was the calmest person in the room: "I've finished eating, you guys can eat slowly. Tian Congbao, you guys too, you need to eat enough to have the strength to be beaten."

These words made the two of them even more afraid to pick up their chopsticks. After all, behind Gu Xi was Wang Xu, a man who could kill a wild boar with one punch.

"Gu Zhiqing, we really know we were wrong. Jinwa and I will never skip school again."

Gu Xi looked at Tian Congbao expressionlessly: "It seems that you haven't realized where you are wrong. My point is not about skipping school at all. Go back and ask Wang Xu to give you the answer."

Tian Congbao and Jinwa came out riding Wang Xu's bicycle. Gu Xi frowned again. It seemed that the bicycle was gone at noon. She didn't notice it, but there was no way Wang Xu didn't notice it.

Gu Xi smiled coldly, which made Lin Ling shudder: "Gu Xi, don't laugh like that, I'm scared. If there is anything, let's talk about it. It's not a big deal. We won't go crazy."

Gu Xi glanced at Lin Ling and said, "You haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of? I am just laughing at these two brothers teaming up to trick me."

Lin Ling didn't understand, but looking at Gu Xi's expression, she definitely didn't dare to gossip.

Unlike when they came and were all talking and laughing, Gu Xi had a blank expression on the way back, but her eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

Wei Qingzhe and Wu Yue tried several times to lighten the atmosphere but failed, and finally they just kept silent.

Lin Ling sent Gu Xi to the door of her house and quickly slipped away.
