Chapter 4 004

The first-class carriage was full of well-known figures. After unanimous testimony, Zhang Qiang and the other four were bandits, the police handcuffed away the seriously injured people and did not interrogate anything. The train company sent another manager to apologize and apologize, and made certain compensation.

When the carriage returned to peace, Mrs. Xu took Qingxi to the bathroom and carefully helped her granddaughter clean up.

"If no one inquired about the Gu family, we will pretend that it has not happened before. Don't take the initiative to tell others." Looking at the slightly red eyes of granddaughter, Old Mrs. Gu whispered. If such gossip is heard, it is not a good thing for granddaughter.

Qingxi understands.

The train was about to arrive, and the mother and the mother stepped out. Old Mrs. Xu was wearing a purple satin dress with a vigorous look, with a bit of nobleness as an old lady from a wealthy family. Qingxi wore a small shirt with white satin embroidered pink peach blossoms and a long dress with crabapple red underneath. Her face was beautiful and dignified, which was very pleasing to the eye.

A female guest handed Qingxi a complimentary look, and admired Qingxi's courage when facing the bandits.

Qingxi smiled slightly and almost arrived at her seat. She found that the man in white who was subduing the bandit was looking at her, with his purely unintentional eyes. Thinking that this man had thought of saving her, but was stopped by the third master, Qingxi nodded to him gratefully.

Lu Duo's simple appreciation of Qingxi was a man's simple appreciation of the beauty. He saw that he had received a response from the beauty. Lu Duo couldn't help but feel happy. He touched his pocket with his big hand and pinched out a business card with a dark gold background. Before he talked to the beauty, Lu Duo looked cautiously at his uncle, who was only nine years older than him.

Gu Huaixiu was wearing sunglasses and looking out the window again.

This is what allows. Lu Duo was happy, so he came to Qingxi's table and handed over the business card: "Miss Qingxi is calm in the face of danger. Lu admires it very much. If you have the chance, I hope to make friends with you."

Old Mrs. Xu frowned, but it was no wonder that passengers such as Liu Yuanyuan were familiar with each other. Times have changed, and men and women can freely communicate.

Qingxi looked up and met Lu Duo's brilliant and sincere smile. She smiled and took the business card: "I want to thank Mr. Lu just now."

Lu Duo grinned: "Just call me my name directly. You can call me brother. Sir, I'm only eighteen."

Qingxi lowered his head and held back his laughter.

Old Mrs. Xu thought Lu Duo was so slick and made an excuse to chase someone out: "Stop the car soon, Mr. Lu, get ready."

The little girl was so gentle and charming, but the old lady was annoying. Lu Duo finally glanced at Qingxi and retreated back to his original position.

Qingxi then looked through the business card in his hand. The man was named Lu Duo and his position was deputy secretary of Dongsheng Automobile Store in Shencheng.

Dongsheng Automobile Tour?

Qingxi has never heard of it.

"Dongsheng is the largest automobile dealer in Shencheng. The boss is the third master." Liu Yuanyuan looked over at the time, glanced at the words on the business card, and introduced to Qingxi softly. After saying that, he smiled and looked at the man who held his chin and glanced at the window: "I heard that this third master is also named Gu. He went to the United States two years ago. With his huge financial and ruthless style, he quickly gained a foothold in Shencheng. He has connections in the military, government and business, and no one dared to mess with him. However, the third master is widowed and does not like to be limelight. The reporter has never photographed him with a face, and he cannot poach any deeds before returning to China. Unexpectedly, the third master who emerged suddenly was so young and handsome."

The words were filled with appreciation for Mr. Gu San.

Qingxi couldn't help but look over.

The man diagonally opposite was lazy, and his wide black sunglasses blocked half of his face, revealing only his long eyebrows and cold and hard chin. He has fair skin and handsome face. Qingxi has clearly seen the black eyes under the sunglasses, but now he cannot connect the man's facial features, so the appearance in his mind is blurred, and only the bone-bending indifference in his eyes is strongly imprinted in her heart.

Mr. Gu San is a successful but indifferent person.

Qingxi withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.

The train finally stopped and the passengers got off one after another. When Qingxi helped her grandmother out, the two men next to her had not moved. But Qingxi was not at ease to pay attention to the two strangers. She became closer and closer to the car door, and she began to feel a little nervous.

If nothing unexpected happens, her baby fiancé Gu Mingyan should have been waiting outside.

The old lady Xu got off the car first. Qingxi was about to step on his feet when he heard a polite voice coming from the side: "Thank you for your hard work, old lady."

The voice was low and steady, but polite but implicitly alienated.

Qingxi took off the car and looked over there casually. What caught his eye was a young and upright man. Twenty-year-old Gu Mingyan was a big taller than three years ago. He stood there in a light-colored suit with fine workmanship, standing out from the crowd and attracting the attention of passengers coming and going.

The eldest master of the Gu family naturally has a good demeanor, and his appearance is even more attractive. His sword eyebrows flew into his temples, and his black eyes are as bright as stars.

If it weren't for his indifferent expression and his eyes were filled with no emotion, Qingxi might have been very satisfied with the marriage.

Which man with a dignified appearance and a prominent family background does not love a girl who loves her? But Gu Mingyan clearly dislikes her, so Qingxi only treats him as his parents' fiance and does not devote much of his feelings.

"Thank you for your hard work in Qingxi." After greetings with Old Lady Xu, Gu Mingyan continued to greet his fiancée.

Qingxi smiled and shook her head, quiet and reserved.

Old Mrs. Xu pursed her lips, dissatisfied with her granddaughter's cold attitude. The marriage between the two families will definitely not change, but the deep relationship between the couple will determine the degree to which the Gu family will care for the Xu family in the future. Therefore, Old Mrs. Xu, who is conservative in her bones, made an exception and hoped that her granddaughter would be more enthusiastic about Gu Mingyan and be more entangled with Gu Mingyan.

"Grandmother, my mother has been waiting for a long time. Let's go back first, the car is outside." After a simple polite manner, Gu Mingyan led Old Mrs. Xu and Qingxi to the outside of the station, and his own follower helped to carry his luggage.

Gu Mingyan drove his car with a black Ford. There are many rich people in Hangzhou. Such a car is not uncommon, but it is rare in Xiucheng. Old Mrs. Xu was used to take a car for the first time. On the surface, she pretended to be very calm, but when she got in the car, she accidentally hit her head, and a "boom" sound was particularly loud.

Old Mrs. Xu blushed, and Qingxi was also quite embarrassed. She glanced at Gu Mingyan, but she was still the indifferent face.

Seeing her grandmother sitting down, Qingxi was about to go up. Just as she was about to raise her foot, she suddenly turned black next to her. She raised her head, but Gu Mingyan was standing next to her, blocking the car door with one hand, as if she was worried that she would hit her.

"Thank you." Qingxi got into the car quickly, his heartbeat unsteady.

Gu Mingyan followed closely behind and sat down, opposite Qingxi.

Gu Mingyan rarely showed concern for his granddaughter. Old Mrs. Xu was very satisfied and asked about Gu Mingyan's life abroad with a smile.

For Gu Mingyan, he has seen too many elders like Mrs. Xu. Young people's thoughts are changing with the times. Old men and women are basically the same. They pay attention to rules and etiquette. When they ask, they are the same. They eat and live in. When they hear something fresh, they make a fuss.

Out of politeness, Gu Mingyan answered one by one, but his eyes fell on his fiancée.

The first time the two of them were so close, Qingxi couldn't let go, she lowered her head slightly, folded her hands on her knees, and looked like an old-fashioned woman.

Gu Mingyan doesn't like conservative women. His grandmother is like this at home, and his second aunt is like this. He can almost foresee what Qingxi will look like in the future. He must be wearing cheongsams, doing needlework and playing cards with no time, either disciplines the maid or coaxes the children. He knows nothing about the outside world and can only listen quietly at most.

Boring, boring, and passionless.

The only difference is that his fiancée is beautiful.

Gu Mingyan's gaze slid across Qingxi's face again, white and delicate, as thin as a cream.

I remember that the last time I saw her, she was nine years old, she was completely a child. She was combed in two round buns and was brought over by her elders. She called him "Brother Mingyan" in ignorantly. Later, before he went abroad, he went to Xiucheng again, but he didn't see her. The reason given by the Xu family was that the little girl was sick, but Gu Mingyan seemed to see her little face flashing behind the window.

Do you know you're shy?

Gu Mingyan didn't understand, didn't care, and went abroad to study without any nostalgia. There were passionate and unrestrained blondes and open-minded Chinese female students abroad. In three years, Gu Mingyan had a few relationships, but he also inherited some of the concepts of old-school men in his blood, that is, no matter how he messed around outside, he could only have a wife at home.

Gu Mingyan does not want to deceive those women. Before dating, he will directly show that he already has the identity of a fiancée. If the other party wants to, he will date, and if he doesn't want to, he will part. As for Qingxi, Gu Mingyan believes that she will be like all the old wives of wealthy families. Even if she knows the romantic affairs of her husband outside, even if the man takes care of the concubines in one room after another, as long as they sit firmly in the position of the wife, they will not oppose interference.

"Are you tired when you take a car?" Old Mrs. Xu said with a dry mouth. Taking advantage of her rest, Gu Mingyan took the initiative to care about his fiancée.

Qingxi shook her head, looked at the black leather shoes on his feet and said, "It's okay."

She was obviously not good at chatting. Gu Mingyan looked out the window and whispered to her on the roadside buildings. When she passed by the cinema, Gu Mingyan felt aroused in her heart and suggested: "Huifang said that a new movie will be released tonight. I will ask someone to buy tickets later. Let's watch it together at night? Are the old lady interested?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter and smiled tactfully: "I won't go, I can't understand the foreign things, so you can take Qingxi there."

Gu Mingyan looked at Qingxi again.

Qingxi nodded. Because of Gu Mingyan's considerate little move before getting on the car, he suddenly felt that Gu Mingyan didn't seem to hate her that much.

The Ford car turned a few turns, and just as Mrs. Xu was about to be sick, she finally stopped in front of the Gu family mansion.

Nowadays, rich families like to live in foreign buildings. The Gu family has a great career, but they don’t follow this trend. They still live in old houses, a typical Jiangnan garden pattern, with pavilions and towers, and a scene step by step, and their own graceful and elegant family.

The listener took his luggage to the guest room, and Gu Mingyan accompanied his mother to meet his family.

Gu Shiqin and Gu Shichang are busy with business. They go out during the day and have to wait for the evening before returning. The spacious and bright living room of the Gu family is full of women.

Old Mrs. Gu sat in the middle, wearing an old-fashioned jacket and skirt, with luxurious clothes, and a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads on her wrist. The eldest and second wife sat on the left and right side of her mother-in-law, wearing cheongsams, and two other girls dressed in a dress. Gu Yiqiu, the only daughter of the second wife, is sixteen years old, wearing a white gauze skirt and a sweet appearance. She is Gu Mingyan's younger sister Gu Huifang, who is the same age as Qingxi.

As soon as Mrs. Xu and Qingxi appeared on the stage, everyone except Mrs. Gu stood up.

In terms of identity, the Xu family is far inferior to the Gu family, so Mrs. Gu does not agree with this marriage. She can't resist the eldest son's stubborn and domineering temper, but she finally feels dissatisfied and her face shows up. If she changes to her in-laws, she will probably be stage frightened, but Mrs. Xu doesn't think so.

In the heart of Mrs. Xu, if her son had not saved Gu Shiqin, the Gu family would have finished it. Now she could enjoy wealth and honor. The whole Gu family should be grateful. Therefore, even if it was seen that Mrs. Gu did not really welcome them, Mrs. Xu would at most secretly scold the other party for being heartless, and would never have any thought of being ashamed of himself and being conscious of breaking the engagement.

They are all old ladies who become sperm, who is afraid of whom?

Old Mrs. Gu smiled indifferently, but Old Mrs. Xu was just silly and made trouble for each other.

Of course, the eldest wife stood by her mother-in-law, disliked Qingxi's origin and felt that the small-sized girl was not worthy of her outstanding good son.

The second wife is not in charge of her business and is happy to watch the fun.

Qingxi sat next to her grandmother with her eyes down, and the slightest affection for Gu Mingyan on the road, and the hazy longing for married life, quickly disappeared without a trace amid the praises of old lady Gu and the eldest lady, and her secretly criticized her. Her fingertips against the smooth fabric, Qingxi thought impulsively, grandmother should be angry, as long as her grandmother supports her, she will beg her father and the marriage will definitely be retired.

With just one side, Qingxi was sure that she didn't want to marry into such a family.
