However, the truth was the same.
Guan Xi and the Gu family did not fit in.
As for Gu Wenxi, although she appeared to be friendly to her, she also intentionally or unintentionally emphasized that she was the daughter of the Gu family, Gu Wenxi. Guan Xi was just brought back from the orphanage halfway.
Guan Xi walked over and sat in a corner of the SOFA, opposite mother Gu and Gu Wenxi.
"Guan Xi, eat something. "
Gu Wenxi pushed a small plate of exquisite pastries in front of Guan Xi. "I brought this back from country M. try it. I don't think you've eaten it before. "
Guan Xi didn't say anything.
Mother Gu spoke up first and mocked, "how could she have the chance to eat such an expensive pastries? Xiao Xi, if you give this pastries to her, how could she know if it's good or bad? What a waste! "
Guan Xi glanced at the pastries and smiled awkwardly without saying anything.
The pastries that Gu Wenxi brought back from country m!
She used to work as a cleaner and traveled all over the world. She also liked to eat. What kind of delicious food hadn't she eaten before?
Just the things in front of her didn't really appeal to her.
Besides, how could the food be as delicious as the pastries made by aunt Wang and other masters at home?
Mother Gu glanced at her and said, "Guan Xi, what's with the expression on your face? Did I say something wrong? You said that you came from an orphanage. How could you know how to taste these things? Why are you putting on a face for me? "
Guan Xi shrunk her shoulders and said, "I... I didn't. "
"Didn't? " Mother Gu snorted from her nose and suddenly smiled. "I forgot that you're living quite well with our identity as Xiao Xi. It's true. The Xiao Family is big and has a lot of money. I'm afraid that you've eaten a lot of these things in the Xiao family. "
Guan Xi looked at the pastries in front of her.
She thought to herself, I've seen a lot this morning. It's much better than the ones that Gu Wenxi brought back. But in order to pretend that she was sad and sad, she didn't eat any of the pastries when she was in a "Cold War" with ninth master.
Wu Wu Wu!
Mother Gu saw that Guan Xi didn't say anything She said coldly in a sharp voice, "Guan Xi, you're marrying ninth master Xiao now. Although ninth master Xiao is paralyzed and can't be a man, he has power and influence. Don't give me the look that the Gu family has mistreated you. If you hadn't married Ninth Master Xiao for Xiao Xi, you would still be living in poverty in the Guan family. How would you have the chance to come into contact with these things? "
Mother Gu's words were filled with a sense of superiority and Charity for Guan Xi.
In any case, if it weren't for the Gu family, Guan Xi wouldn't have had any contact with ninth master Xiao and wouldn't have been able to lead a good life.
But mother Gu didn't think about it herself. If ninth master Xiao was paralyzed, he really wouldn't be humane.
If Guan Xi married him, wouldn't she be a widow for the rest of her life?
In the end, it was because the Gu family couldn't bear to see Gu Wenxi suffer, and they wanted to rely on ninth master. Only then did they remember that Guan Xi, who had been in the orphanage back then, had no power and power, so they found her and used her as a waste.
However, this disgusting fact became a favor to Guan Xi in the eyes of Mother Gu.
Guan Xi closed her legs and rested her hands on her thighs. She listened to mother Gu without saying a word.
She had always been a coward in the Gu family. Now, other than playing the role of the person she used to manipulate, she was too lazy to argue with mother Gu.
Mother Gu, a shrew-like woman, would always answer her with a distorted view of the world.
If she became angry after listening to mother Gu's words, she could not hold back her anger. She could not kill her mother, right? Even if she really wanted to hit her, she could not do it.
It felt very LOW to quarrel with her!
Guan Xi quietly listened to mother Gu's story. Basically, one ear went in and the other went out.
She looked at Gu Wenxi, and the little white hand on her thigh tightened. She asked Gu Wenxi softly, "sister, why did you ask me to come back? "
This was the reason she came to the Gu family today.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come back to the Gu family to listen to mother Gu's whining.
"Guan Xi, it's like this... " Gu Wenxi glanced at mother Gu and said, "why don't we go upstairs and talk? "
When mother Gu heard this, she shouted, "Xiao Xi, what else do you have to tell her behind mother's back? Let's talk about it here. "
"Mommy. " Gu Wenxi looked at mother Gu and said, "I have something to tell her. It's just a few words. Please let your daughter have her own little secret. "
Mother Gu looked at Guan Xi with disgust. "You came out from an orphanage. What other little secret can you have? "
Gu Wenxi said angrily, "MOMMY! "
"Go on, go on. " Mother Gu waved her hand and said, "If you have something to say, hurry up and finish it. "
...
In the Xiao Group building.
In the president's office.
Xiao Jiuyan had a few meetings in the morning and only had some free time just now.
Behind the office desk, an elegant man was sitting in a wheelchair. His strong back was leaning against the wheelchair. His eyes were slightly closed, and there was a hint of weariness in his cold and handsome face.
He had almost done his work for the day. He still had a few documents to go through before he could go home.
Xiao Jiuyan thought of calling the Butler to tell him that the silly little lady was out shopping, and he was relieved in his heart.
The words he said yesterday had hurt her in the end.
It was a good thing to be able to go out for a walk.
For so many years, he had never had a woman by his side. He only had comrades in arms. Later, when something happened, it was the Xiao Family and the company.
He did not know how to coax a woman.
Before the accident, he was often ridiculed by Shi Budai. "Old Xiao, if you don't use the gun under you, it will rust. ".
Later, when something happened, it really could not be used.
Fortunately, he met the silly lady.
Xiao Jiuyan thought of Guan Xi's sweet little face. It was round and full. Her forehead was smooth, and her eyes were exceptionally bright. When she slyly looked at people acting coquettishly, she was like a Little Fox wagging its tail proudly.
When she sat on him, her little face was so red that water could drip out of it.
She was very obedient when she was asked to move on her own.
However, sometimes she would secretly do bad things.
After being reprimanded, she would blink her eyes and pretend to be wronged and cry for mercy
"Master Jiu, don't... don't do it anymore. It's too deep. "
"Master Jiu... SOB SOB SOB SOB, I don't want it anymore! "
"Don't want it anymore, master Jiu... It's been quite a few times tonight... Master Jiu, don't you have to go to work tomorrow? I'm thinking of you! "
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiuyan's thin lips couldn't help but curl up, revealing a soft smile.
But very soon, this smile disappeared again.
He thought of last night, when little silly was kidnapped by Xiao Lao San.
He came back covered in blood, and after he woke up, he looked at him with such a strange gaze.
He was scared, and was hurt by Xiao Jiuyan's words in order to stabilize Xiao Lao San.
Xiao Jiuyan was a little impatient.
Frowning, he reached out and took a pack of cigarettes from the office desk. He tilted his wrist and poured out a cigarette. He lit it, held it between his index and middle fingers, and took a deep breath.
The faint smell of tobacco seeped into his heart, and Xiao Jiuyan slowly blew out a smoke ring.
The grayish-white smoke was light and insubstantial, covering his cold and beautiful eyes.
In the time it took for a cigarette, he put out the cigarette butt in his hand, took the phone on the desk with his long and slender hands, and dialed a number.
