Gu Qingzhou picked up the tea and took two sips.

Over there, Yan Lao and his uncle had already chatted and talked about a lot of things.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei drank tea silently, without disturbing their reminiscence.

For some reason, when the topic suddenly changed, Yan Lao asked Gu Qingzhou: "You are working in the Guard Office. What was the name of the boy who committed suicide last time?"

"His name is Xu Pei." Gu Qingzhou said, "How do you speak of him?"

"The warehouse he committed suicide belongs to the third child." Yan Lao said, "The third child has too many things in his hands, and he is not careful himself, so he just leaves it to others to take care of it."

Gu Qingzhou was inexplicably stunned.

"Did it cause you any inconvenience?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Yan Lao shook his head: "That's not true. The Xu family hides things deeply, and the more outsiders will guess. Isn't it just their son and a kid?"

Gu Qingzhou took another sip of tea, not surprised.

This matter cannot be concealed from the eyes of the conscientious.

"If the Xu family doesn't hide it, it will cause trouble in the city." Yan Lao continued.

Gu Qingzhou was surprised when he heard this.

She subconsciously glanced at Si Xingpei.

Si Xingpei shook his head at her.

At this moment, the sound of high heels stepping on the bluestone slab came from outside, light and fast.

After a while, a red figure appeared in everyone's sight.

The person who came in was a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had the darker skin tone of a Nanyang girl, her skin was delicate and firm, and she had a long braid.

She was wearing a red dress and a light red shawl with a long fringe.

"Is this Chiyu?" Uncle asked suddenly.

Yan Lao nodded.

The girl also greeted her uncle politely: "Second uncle."

"I haven't seen you for more than two years. You've grown up. I almost didn't recognize you. Did you grow taller?" asked the uncle.

The girl replied: "Yes, it has grown a little taller."

Then, she looked at Gu Qingzhou and called out, "Mrs. Si."

Her eyes slid across Si Xingpei's face, and her heart skipped a beat.

She had never seen such a handsome yet masculine man, and she dared not take a second look.

"Miss Xia." Gu Qingzhou also smiled back.

This girl's name is Xia Qianyu, the daughter of the fourth master of the gang.

The fourth master was so busy that his wife divorced him very early and went to England; and his sons went abroad to study and refused to come back.

Xia Qianyu was born by the fourth master's concubine and has been raised by her side.

Later, when the fourth master passed away, the concubine took the money and left, ignoring this daughter, and almost let her live on the street.

The concubine must have no feelings for the fourth master, and she is not willing to give birth to this daughter.

Yan Lao saw her pitiful, and the Yan family was weak, so he brought the girl back.

When I first brought it back, the girl who developed a little late was skinny, black and small. After two years of nursing in the Yan family, she developed again and grew taller.

As she grew taller and plump, her beauty was revealed, and she was a very beautiful little girl.

This little girl was not beautiful enough before, she didn't look good no matter how she dressed, and she was often discriminated against. Now, she wants to make up for all her previous outfits, and she is all day long.

Gu Qingzhou has never seen her wear one skirt twice.

Moreover, Xia Qianyu was a little hostile to Gu Qingzhou.

First, Gu Qingzhou didn't care much, and secondly, it had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it.

"Is this skirt made new?" Yan Lao asked her.

Xia Qianyu laughed: "It's almost the New Year's Eve, so dress festively."

Yan Lao nodded, turned his head and asked Gu Qingzhou, "How about you come to my place for the New Year this year with your children?"

Xia Qianyu's face was a little stiff, and a chill flashed across his eyes.

"It's really not good this year." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "Everyone from the Si family is here, as well as the uncles of the two families, as well as relatives and friends.

However, on the first day of the new year, I can bring my child to greet you. Let’s talk about it first, I want three red envelopes, my daughter wants the biggest one, and the two sons are up to you. "

Yan Lao laughed: "Of course, that's my granddaughter too."

Gu Qingzhou glanced at Xia Qianyu unconsciously, and found that her smile was even more reluctant.

They were talking lively, and some boys ran in: "My father is back, my father is back."

It was Yan San's son Yan Kai who ran in.

Then, Yan San came in.

When he saw the room full of people, he was very surprised: "Are you all here to pick me up?"

People don't know how to answer.

Yan San's name is Yan Ziqing. When Gu Qingzhou got married, he was the one who sent it.

At that time, he was the youngest son in the family, eating and waiting to die all day long.

Unexpectedly, more than five years later, he has become the backbone of the family.

His father is old, and he runs a lot of business. There was no aura about him, and he showed shrewdness and even a little slickness.

Fate pushes people forward and pushes everyone into their place.

You can't change your destiny, you can only change yourself.

"It's almost time for dinner, I'll change clothes first." Yan Ziqing didn't need anyone else to answer, so he just said it himself.

He turned away.

His two children followed Pidianpidian.

The four-year-old Yan Qi hid in Gu Qingzhou's arms and whispered to Gu Qingzhou.

Xia Qianyu saw it in his eyes, stepped forward and said to Yan Qi: "Qiqi, you are pressing people like this, Mrs. Si is very tired, my aunt will take you out to play, okay?"

Yan Qi immediately turned his face and buried his head on Gu Qingzhou's shoulder.

Gu Qingzhou patted the child's back lightly and said to Xia Qianyu, "It's okay, I'm not tired. My daughter is one year older than her and much heavier than her, and I often hold her."

Xia Qianyu said nothing more.

But Yan Qi leaned into Gu Qingzhou's ear and whispered, "Aunt, aunt you, she, aunt no."

She had not had a mother since she was a child, nor did she seem to have a special wet nurse. The servants did not take her wholeheartedly, at least they did not take the time to teach her how to speak.

She is only one year younger than Tamamo, but her language ability is like that of a two-year-old child.

From her words, Gu Qingzhou could hear that the child was dissatisfied with Xia Qianyu's self-proclaimed aunt.

Her aunt only has Gu Qingzhou.

"It's all your aunt, right?" Gu Qingzhou also asked quietly.

The girl immediately said, "No."

Gu Qingzhou was stunned.

Although children are ignorant, they can feel the most sensitive. Where did Yan Qi's resistance to Xia Qianyu come from?

Gu Qingzhou's eyes sank slightly.

Yan Qi has been sitting in Gu Qingzhou's arms, while Yan Kai, a six-year-old boy, ran around the crowd, and even danced on the spot himself.

At first, Gu Qingzhou's attention was on the girl and Xia Qianyu, but about ten minutes later, the boy was still there without stopping, and his expression was not childish, as if he was holding back.

"Kaikai, come here." Gu Qingzhou said.

Yan Kai didn't seem to hear it.

Gu Qingzhou raised her voice: "Kai Kai, come to my aunt's side."

He heard it this time, but he was still on his feet, circling around his grandfather.

Gu Qingzhou called him again.

This time, everyone heard it.

Then, they all looked at Yan Kai.

Yan Kai received everyone's attention and finally stopped, but couldn't help but wink. His footsteps fluttered a little.

Everyone was stunned, only Gu Qingzhou's expression became calm.
