Chapter 81 She won’t wake up again
He family?
Gu Miao's hand holding the phone froze.
"Miss, are you still listening?"
"I'm here." Gu Miao paused and asked, "Is this a family dinner?"
"Yes, the eldest young master will be here. In previous years, the second young master was also here, but this year he is too busy with work to get away."
"Miss Siyu is going to Nanshan with Gu Dong and others to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"It's the reunion night. It wouldn't be good for you to stay alone in Beijing."
The implication is that the only juniors at the Hezhongqiu family dinner this time were Gu Xu and her.
Gu Miao fell into deep thought.
It sounds nice, and I feel warm in my heart at first listen.
But——
Gu Miao's intuition told her that it was not that simple.
Compared to a family banquet, she felt that this was a Hongmen banquet.
She had met the old gentleman from the He family.
After passing through the book, she followed the Gu family's parents to Hong Kong City to celebrate the old man's birthday.
How can I describe the feeling that the old gentleman gave me.
He always had a smile on his face and seemed amiable. But as a boss who once understood both black and white and was the talker of a century-old family in Hong Kong City, how could he be such a good person?
In fact, if you look at Gu Xu, you can see a trace of the old gentleman's youth.
Gu Xu was trained by him and is his most satisfying work.
On weekdays, Gu Xu was also used to smiling. No matter what happened, he always had a decent gentleman's smile on his face.
So does He Zhihuai.
When the two of them treated her, one was indulgent, with a hint of helplessness in their affection. One is gentle, almost doting.
But the old gentleman's smile towards her seemed gentle and calm, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain a touch of unnoticeable scrutiny and indifference.
"Thank you grandpa for your kindness. It's just that I haven't been in good health recently. I cough up blood for no reason. I want to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to make an appointment with the doctor for a check-up. So I can't rush there this time to avoid the illness affecting grandpa."< br>
"Miss, you can come to Hong Kong City. He's hospital is more secure."
"I made an appointment with the He family's hospital, but it's the one in Beijing. My second brother helped me arrange it, so I won't bother grandpa to remember it."
The butler over there was silent and didn't insist anymore.
After hanging up the phone, the slightest smile on Gu Miao's face disappeared.
After staring at the number in the address book for a few seconds, he directly dragged it into the blacklist.
She was not at all surprised that the old gentleman knew that she was not dead.
The Gu family's parents didn't care about her life or death. As long as Gu Siyu didn't mention it, the Gu family's parents wouldn't start investigating.
But that doesn't mean the old gentleman won't check. Or maybe it was Gu Xu who took the initiative to tell him.
There were many possibilities, and no matter which one they were, it didn't matter to her now.
Anyway, I absolutely cannot go to this family dinner.
She was not naive enough to really think that the old gentleman would be so kind as to take her in.
He didn't even care about his grandson He Zhihuai to this extent. Not to mention a fake granddaughter like her who I haven't seen a few times.
If you go, it will indeed be the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. But today next year will be my death anniversary.
She still doesn't know whether the old man's purpose is to ruin her life.
But it’s always good to be wary.
In case the He family sends out another "invitation", she has to find a relatively safe place to stay this holiday...
Gu Xu attends this kind of traditional festival every year in Hong Kong City, and He Zhihuai is still recovering from his injuries.
Chi Fei and Chi Yan were unreliable, mainly because they didn't have any bodyguards around them.
Neither could Jiang Qingshi.
On such an important day as the Mid-Autumn Festival, he could not miss the family dinner and must return to his old home.
After picking and choosing, it seemed that only Qi Yu could give it a try. ——
The old residence of the Qi family.
Qi Yu knelt on the futon and yawned repeatedly.
The broken floor made his back hurt when he slept on it, and he barely slept. I have to ask the housekeeper to bring a mattress tomorrow.
The carved wooden door was pushed open from both sides, and sunlight poured in, hitting the man's crooked back.
"Standing does not mean standing, kneeling does not mean kneeling."
Hearing the sound, Qi Yu seemed not to have heard it and greeted him casually: "Good afternoon, second uncle."
"Kneel down and keep your back straight!" Qi Yue stood beside him with his hands behind his hands.
His tone was impatient, stern and cold, which made people feel nervous.
Qi Yu didn't care, rubbed his eyes and said, "No, second uncle, I have been kneeling for too long and my whole body hurts."
"You still know it hurts!" Qi Yue: "If you know it hurts, come with me to Jiang's house to apologize!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"That won't work."
Qi Yu simply sat down on the futon and said confidently: "I didn't do anything wrong. I was willing to help others and uphold justice. It is absolutely impossible for me to bow to evil forces!"
"..." Qi Yue's temples were pounding, "Then keep kneeling! Kneel until you are willing to apologize! No one is allowed to bring him food!"
Qi Yu smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, uncle, don't worry about me, just treat it as losing weight. Walk slowly, uncle, I won't send you away."
Qi Yue gritted his teeth and said something stupid.
When the others dispersed, Qi Yu stopped sitting and lay down instead.
The servant standing by the side lowered his head silently. At this time, he could only turn a blind eye, as it would be hard to offend both parties.
In the front hall, Qi Yue asked as he walked: "Have the cause and effect been found out?"
Secretary: "We found that not long before the young master reported Jiang Qingshi, he called the police once and claimed that his fiancée had been kidnapped by Jiang Qingshi."
"Gu Siyu?" Qi Yue stopped, "Has Qi Yu been in contact with Gu Siyu recently?"
Qi Yue heard that the Gu family and the Jiang family had a close relationship some time ago and seemed to have plans to marry. But the Qi and Gu families had a marriage contract, so the Gu family had no say in this matter.
"No." The secretary said: "The fiancée mentioned by the young master is most likely not Miss Siyu."
"What are these words? Besides Gu Siyu, who else could his fiancée be..." Qi Yue paused, as if he thought of something.
The secretary was still reporting: "At first we didn't understand that the police information this time seemed to have been wiped out by Jiang Qingshi's people, and it is not ruled out that the young master did it."
"After in-depth investigation, we found that this may be the trigger of this conflict."
The secretary handed over the document, "We just received this. Someone signed it, and the name should be Gu Miao."
"That is, the lady who passed away before the Gu family."
"Isn't she dead?" Qi Yue frowned.
"Based on all evidence, she is still active in Beijing."
"..."
After a brief silence, Qi Yue suddenly laughed out loud, "This kid is still an infatuated person."
"Go and bring people here."
"Gu Miao?" The secretary nodded, "Yes."
After class in the afternoon, Gu Miao walked outside the school facing the sunset.
She couldn't get through Qi Yu's phone, and no one responded to her messages. I don't know if he is still angry with her.
Now we can only go to his residence and take a look.
The online ride-hailing car stopped, Gu Miao checked the license plate number, got in the car and gave the last number.
Not long after the car drove out, her eyelids gradually became heavy.
She thought she hadn't slept well last night, so she shook her head vigorously. When her vision was blurred, she suddenly saw the driver smiling at her through the rearview mirror...
At the last second before she lost consciousness, she heard the driver say to her: "Miss, go to sleep. When you wake up, it will be over."
"No, you won't wake up again."
