Chapter 190 They are all my accessories
Mr. He leaned back in his seat, looking at her with a smile in his eyes. Her voice was slow and steady. For a moment, the innuendo Gu Miao heard in her gentle voice seemed to be just her illusion.
The old gentleman was like an ordinary elder, patiently admonishing the younger members of the family who had high hopes for him.
Gu Miao did not lose herself in these seemingly compliments.
She knew very clearly what the old gentleman wanted to express and convey to her.
Obviously, even though she was engaged, the old gentleman did not relax his vigilance.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Hearing this, Gu Miao came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I plan to continue studying and study for a master's degree and a Ph.D. As for my future work direction, I personally don't have an accurate plan yet."
"Well, whether it's studying or not, I've seen your results. It's not easy for a girl to do this."
Gu Miao's eyes trembled slightly and she listened attentively.
The old gentleman sighed, and then asked: "Do you plan to live in Hong Kong City in the future?"
Gu Miao was stunned.
Her brain began to work rapidly, and she was trying to figure out the old gentleman's intentions.
"Don't think too much. It's just chatting." The other party saw through her thoughts at a glance and interrupted her thoughts with a smile.
Gu Miao made a confused sound, her lips trembling slightly and she opened her mouth, hesitatingly.
"Tell me what's really on your mind. I'm curious."
"..." Gu Miao thought about it and said, "No."
"Really?"
"It was there at first, but not anymore."
"Why?"
Her long eyelashes kept fluttering, not because she was nervous, but because she was thinking.
The hands on her knees clenched and unclenched, and Gu Miao said in an almost calm tone: "Early in the morning, I wanted to come to Hong Kong City to live, because this way I can be closer to my brother. I hope from the bottom of my heart that I can be protected. , live a peaceful life ”
"Then why don't you think about it now? Because of me, an old man?"
"No."
Gu Miao shook her head, "Because I found that I shouldn't be attached to anyone."
"Why do we have to make flowers?"
"Why not thorns."
"My life can only be controlled by myself."
"Everyone else should be my appendage."
The girl's voice was clear and her words were resounding.
The butler's body trembled slightly, a flash of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and he subconsciously looked towards the old gentleman in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the smile on the old gentleman's lips widened, and there was no sign of anger.
"Last question, Ah Xu and Ah Huai, what do you think of them?"
This is a gift proposition, just like when an unlucky relative comes to your family, you must choose between your father and your mother.
Gu Miao frowned slightly, "Both the eldest brother and the second brother are very good. Grandpa raised them well, and they are also very good to me. However, if this is destined to be a multiple-choice question, I will choose myself."
She couldn't choose one of the two.
This is the old gentleman's temptation.
No matter who she chooses, she will be the one who ends up in trouble.
The restaurant fell into an eerie silence, and Gu Miao immediately lowered her head, "Sorry, Grandpa."
The old gentleman smiled, "Why do you say sorry? I have said from the beginning that you are the smartest one."
"So smart that I have already started to waver."
Gu Miao looked up.
The old gentleman didn't say anything more and stood up using the handrail. The housekeeper supported him quickly with quick eyes and hands.
Gu Miao also stood up immediately and watched him leave.
As soon as the old gentleman left, most of the servants in the restaurant evacuated, and the surroundings were so quiet that the only sound left was her own breathing.
The old gentleman’s words were still echoing in my ears.
After a pause, she picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
But you can't wrong yourself. The system expressed doubts: [Does he mean to accept the host? 】
"Who knows."
Gu Miao's attention was focused on eating.
[Host, are you not scared anymore? 】
The system clearly felt that Gu Miao had relaxed completely, which was completely different from her state earlier in the morning.
"I'm afraid, but I'll probably be safe in a short time."
After this exchange, for some reason, Gu Miao felt that the old gentleman didn't particularly want to kill her.
It's definitely not to the point where he accepts her, but he doesn't have the urge to kill her either.
upstairs.
The old gentleman rarely took the elevator and always took the stairs. The housekeeper helped him walk up slowly.
"The second young lady looks really smart."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Well." The old gentleman looked ahead expressionlessly, "No wonder Gu Xu has been thinking about it."
"You just said you were wavering...could it be true..."
"How is that possible?" The old gentleman laughed, "No one can change Gu Xu's marriage."
"I can step back and save this girl's life, but it's impossible for the two of them."
"I see, I thought you really wanted the second lady to come and live in Hong Kong City."
"Yes." The old gentleman looked over and said with a smile: "We can't be together in name, but we didn't say not in private."
"Zuo is just a business marriage. It looks good on the surface. Just don't embarrass the two families."
"He really can't let go, so just keep him by his side as a younger sister."
"It gives me something to hold him back. Once a person has a weakness, he can't hold his head up."
"Just look at this girl, this is not her ambition."
The housekeeper could hear it, but the old gentleman was just talking.
If Gu Miao really agrees, she will stay with Gu Xu from now on...
The old gentleman will never keep her.
"Have you called him?"
"Yes, the eldest young master said that he has a party tomorrow night and cannot come back for the time being. The second young master will land tomorrow evening."
"Then Miss Second..."
"Let her be."
"Yes."
——
After dinner, Gu Miao wanted to go for a walk in the yard, but she was afraid of the dark night and high wind... what if she was silenced.
After hesitating on the first floor for a while, she called Xiao Li to go out.
The street lights were already on. Gu Miao stood by the fountain, looked down the mountain, and let out a sigh.
After wandering around the yard for five minutes, Xiao Li urged her to go back.
"The boss is not here, and I am also worried that something will happen to you."
Xiao Li came over and whispered: "If someone really comes here...I may not be able to beat him."
"Many of the bodyguards in the He family have lives on their backs."
"How about you wait half an hour before coming out?"
"Why? These bodyguards will be off duty in half an hour?"
"No, my boss will get off work in half an hour."
"?" Gu Miao was confused.
"When my boss comes back, he can protect you."
"Your boss seems to be less useful than you. Doesn't he also have to rely on your protection?"
"Having said that, if he is here, the He family will not touch you."
"I don't think so. He can run faster than me if something happens."
"Oh, no." Xiao Li rubbed his hands, "He likes you so much, how could he leave you?"
