Chapter 733 These Eyes
"Yes, Ruochu, you don't have to pay too much attention to the grievances between Mr. Gu and the Ning family. Gu Zexi likes you very much as a younger sister, and treats you like a relative."
At this moment, Chu Xinlan was thinking that if Ruochu left now, both brothers and sisters would have some regrets, maybe there would still be a little pimple in her heart.
"good."
The couple sat down again, waiting for Old Master Gu and Gu Zexi to finish talking in the study.
After a while of silence outside, Gu Zexi and the old man finally came out.
"elder brother."
Mr. Gu didn't expect Gu Ruochu to call his brother so smoothly, and the moment his old eyes met hers, there was a little more complexity.
Although they are only cousins, sometimes Zhang Xuan's eyes really look like his dead daughter. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan's daughter also looked like these eyes.
What a coincidence that the surname was Gu for no apparent reason.
The old man laughed at himself, a little desolation remained in his eyes.
But these people reminded him day and night how his daughter died back then, how she was insulted before she died, and how she passed away with hatred.
He couldn't let go of the scenes of that year, and every time he thought about it, it was even more painful.
He only had such an only daughter, and his wife couldn't let go of her daughter's death, and finally passed away prematurely in the grief of Si Nu.
If it wasn't for his daughter who had the best relationship with Zhang Xuan during his lifetime, he wouldn't care if it was an accident or not, he just wanted Zhang Xuan to experience what it means to be heartbroken.
"Since you have guests, brat, I'll go first." The old man's voice was a bit harsh, and he only glanced at the silent Chu Xinlan before walking away.
"Grandpa, I will see you off."
Gu Zexi nodded at Ruochu and the others, then turned around and sent the old man out first.
The moment he turned around, Gu Ruochu saw a few bruises on his hands, probably because the old man didn't notice the strength of his hands when he hit someone with a cane just now.
She and Chu Xinlan exchanged glances, and stayed in the living room again.
"I'm having lunch here today, and I've asked the chef to do it." Gu Zexi came in and said something, as if nothing happened just now.
"Brother, is the old man alright?"
"It's okay, he just has an old problem and don't worry about it." Gu Zexi said lightly, standing not far from Chu Xinlan.
He standing so close made her feel a little more nervous.
"Brother, I don't want you and the old man to have conflicts because of me."
Gu Ruochu couldn't explain why her mood became depressed, she sincerely hoped that Gu Zexi would be happy, he was really tired and unhappy.
"I know."
The brother and sister have a surprisingly tacit understanding, as if they know what each other thinks without having to say anything.
——
After seeing off Ruochu and his wife that night, Chu Xinlan returned to the villa full of worries.
Just when she arrived at the door, she suddenly heard a woman's laughter intermittently coming from inside. The strange laughter seemed to suppress her nerves, making her feel painful and sad.
When I saw Ruochu off just now, I seemed to see a luxury car coming in from the door, and there was a vague silhouette of a woman on the passenger seat.
She was just stunned at the time, but she didn't expect that it was really a woman who came to look for Gu Zexi.
She didn't dare to enter the door, and bit her lip for a moment in a dilemma.
"Miss Chu, why are you standing here?" The maid Xiaohua's harsh voice suddenly sounded, startling the woman who was immersed in some kind of meditation and turned around to leave.
"Stop!"
A cold voice sounded at the door, and when Chu Xinlan turned around, she saw a tall woman standing not far from him, staring at her curiously with bright eyes.
