The cold-faced chief loves the little maid

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered, and it was already 09:30. According to the normal time, Gu Nianbin should be here by this time.There was a long beep coming from the phone, which made Du Xiaoxian a little flustered, but she didn't want others to see it, so she smiled and said, "Maybe it's snowing and the road is difficult, so I'll be back later."

I can only think so, A Ling glanced at Du Huayue, and said: "Yes, it should be that the road is not easy to walk. After all, it is night and the road is slippery, so it will be late. Let's get warm in the house and eat while we eat. wait."

Du Huayue hesitated: "Why don't I leave first, you go to the house, there is no one around here, don't come out again."

"Brother Ayue, don't go," Du Xiaoxian said, "Now there are no buses, and there are few taxis. Just stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, don't leave. The young master didn't come back. We are the only ones left in such a big house. It's scary. Don't leave."

Du Huayue didn't want to live here at first. Hearing what A Ling said, it was hard to refuse, so he nodded and pushed Du Xiaoxian into the house: "I've been out for too long, go out to warm up."

A Ling put the fruit that had been cut earlier on the coffee table, and the three of them ate while watching TV. Du Xiaoxian looked at the grandfather clock by the wall from time to time, and A Ling and Du Huayue looked at each other, but they didn't know how to comfort them She had no choice but to keep silent.

The skits were playing on TV, and they were the upstarts in the skit world in the past two years. The burdens were shaking one after another, making everyone laugh. A Ling and Du Huayue were completely attracted by the sketches, laughing from time to time. Du Xiaoxian Although he was also staring at the TV, he was absent-minded.Suddenly, a sound of "哐——" shocked Du Xiaoxian, but it was the big clock that rang. She looked up and saw that the luminous copper pointer was pointing to eleven o'clock.

She was taken aback for a moment, and said softly, "It's already so late."

A Ling glanced at her, "Xiaoxian, the weather is not good today, maybe the young master won't come back, so don't wait for him. It's the same for us to watch the new year with you!"

"He said he would be back." Du Xiaoxian picked up the phone and started calling again. This time there was something to say, but a female voice repeated mechanically, in Chinese and then in English, "I'm sorry, the phone you pulled out has been turned off. Please pull it out later. Sorry, the number youdailed has been switched off!"

"How did this happen?" Du Xiaoxian looked at Du Huayue: "Why did he turn off the phone? Did something happen on the way?"

"No, don't think about it," Du Huayue said, "Today is New Year's Eve after all, maybe his parents let him watch the New Year together? Or maybe he drank too much and they didn't allow him to come out."

"But he didn't come back, why didn't he call me?" Du Xiaoxian was very anxious: "He never does this, something must have happened!"

"Don't worry, I'll check." Du Huayue used his mobile phone to surf the Internet and checked if there was any accident on the expressway leading directly to Fenglei Town.Sure enough, there was one, but it was just a scrape between two cars, there was no serious problem, and it was not Gu Nianbin's car.

Du Xiaoxian felt relieved, "As long as nothing happens. Maybe he really drank and couldn't drive, so he won't come back. We don't have to wait for him."

A Ling said: "Anyway, I want to watch the year, and I have to set off cannons at twelve o'clock. Let's go to bed after twelve o'clock."

"That's fine." Du Huayue patted Du Xiaoxian on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "If you can't stand it, go to sleep now, and the cannonball will wake you up, don't blame us."

"I'll keep watch until twelve o'clock too." Du Xiaoxian leaned back on the sofa as he spoke, nestled in his small body, and stared blankly at the TV, appearing somewhat lonely.

Du Huayue deliberately teased her: "Why, brother Gu won't come back, can't you sleep?"

Sure enough, Du Xiaoxian blushed as soon as she teased him, and reached out to hit Du Huayue: "Brother Ayue, you are bullying!"

"Where did I bully you?" Du Huayue said with a smile: "Look, if Brother Gu doesn't come back, you will be listless. My brother who you have called for more than ten years is really sad!"

"Who says I'm listless," Du Xiaoxian stood up and looked out the window, "Let's go out for a while, there are still a lot of fireworks!"

"Let's go, then let's set off firecrackers for a while, anyway, we will set off firecrackers for the New Year's Eve." Du Huayue called A Ling: "You also go together, let's put a few together and let it go, it will look good."

When Du Xiaoxian set off the fireworks, Gu Nianbin was drinking with Xia Nanze. After dinner, he wanted to leave, but he never had a chance to speak. First, Gu Guangxian and Xia Deren asked him about the company, and then they talked about their prospects for the future. When we talked about buying back the century-old Gu's building, we finally got out.

Fang Yaru and Mrs. Xia told him how difficult it was for Xia Xiaowan to go abroad these years, and they only hoped that she could go smoothly and live a peaceful life after returning to China.Mrs. Xia even asked him to take care of Xia Xiaowan with earnestness and sincerity. They are all close relatives and friends. Gu Nianbin really didn't want to have a showdown on the night of New Year's Eve, so she forced her face to say yes perfunctorily.

Before he could find an excuse to go away, Gu Shanshan, Xia Nanze and Xia Xiaowan also came over and surrounded him, Gu Shanshan was always chattering, Xia Nanze brought a glass to drink with him, maybe borrowing the power of the drink, obviously She hasn't been with him for several years, but now she recalls the past friendship with him with extraordinary enthusiasm. Xia Xiaowan didn't say much, but there were too many emotions in her eyes, which made it difficult for him to ignore them.Suddenly he realized that this scene tonight was all about him, his parents knew what he was thinking, Gu Shanshan knew it, maybe Xia Xiaowan knew it too, so they didn't plan to let him go when he came back today of.Unless he turns his face and breaks up, and they are sure he won't, because today is the day of New Year's Eve, family reunion, singing and laughing, if he must fall out with his family on such a day, let alone It's not good to say that it's spread, but his father's body alone can make him hard-hearted.There is not only love in this world, but also family affection. He is a person of deep affection and filial piety. If this is the case, he really can't pass his own test.

Feeling depressed, she naturally drank more wine. Gu Shanshan was also extraordinarily well-behaved tonight, leaning against him from time to time, or holding his arm to act coquettishly.He knew she was deliberately distracting him.And his heart was indeed a little messed up.

In the end, he was finally drunk, Xia Nanze and Xiao Bonian helped him to rest in the room, watching his staggering back, Gu Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Yaru said: "It's finally done."

Fang Yaru shook her head: "Do you think he doesn't understand? It's just that he doesn't want to tear his face tonight."

"What drug did that Du Xiaoxian give him?" Gu Shanshan said angrily, "It's fine if Xiao Wan didn't come back, but now everyone is in front of him, but his heart is gone."

"After the new year, I'll go see that child," Fang Yaru said, "Although we haven't been together for a long time, I can tell that she has a good heart, which should make sense. As long as she disappears automatically, Nian Bin will turn back Yes. Anyway, our Gu family can't marry a maid to come in."

"Mom, don't worry," Gu Shanshan said with a firm face, "I'm on your side this time. We can definitely bring brother back."

"I hope so," Fang Yaru sighed, and asked, "Have your Uncle Xia's family returned to their rooms?"

"Aunt Xia has gone back to her room. Uncle Xia is talking to Dad. Xiao Wan is in my room. She will sleep with me tonight."

Fang Yaru nodded, then asked, "Where's your brother's cell phone?"

"I turned off the phone, and put it back secretly." Gu Shanshan couldn't help laughing when she mentioned this.

"Still laughing," Fang Yaru poked her on the forehead: "When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he might lose his temper."

"Then I won't admit it, saying that he was drunk and turned off the phone by himself. What's the matter with me?"

"You're so clever." Fang Yaru poked her again with a smirk.

"Oh, Mom, don't keep poking me, I'm not a kid anymore." Gu Shanshan pouted and said, "He's the host now!"

"The host, are you going back to your room?" Xia Xiaowan poked her head in by the door.

Gu Shanshan stood up with a smile: "Mom, I'm going back to my room."

"Go, the two of you sisters go back to the room to talk, and I'm going to rest too."

Gu Shanshan took Xia Xiaowan's arm and walked through the corridor. There were red lanterns hanging all the way. When the wind stopped, the red lanterns stood quietly, shining red even in the square inch of the place. There is also a sense of joy.Xia Xiaowan just laughed: "When I was a child, I watched "Raise the Red Lantern". At the beginning, there was such a red lantern. At that time, I thought, did I borrow your ancestral house to shoot it?"

"Do you like it?" Gu Shanshan teased her: "When you get married to my brother, we will do it in this old house. I will also hang red lanterns for you to make you happy, okay?"

"Look at you, I'll just tell you, you're serious." Xia Xiaowan took a breath of cold air, and said, "I always look a little weird tonight at Brother Nian Bin. Are you happy?"

"No," Gu Shanshan said, "He was so happy to see you, so he looked a little silly."

"I think he's absent-minded." Xia Xiaowan looked at the red lanterns along the way and asked, "Is that the little maid you told me about..."

"What's the matter with her?" Gu Shanshan said disapprovingly, "It's just a little maid, you are unmatched in my brother's heart."

Xia Xiaowan laughed: "So, I still have hope."

"Of course, the daughter-in-law of Gu's parents is none other than you," Gu Shanshan nodded affirmatively, then frowned suddenly: "It's just why you figured it out all of a sudden? You and Jiang Kaiwei..."

Xia Xiaowan's expression changed slightly, and soon she laughed lowly again, as if mocking herself: "The affair between me and him ended five years ago, it was just my wishful thinking. Since the running water is ruthless, why should I go to that muddy place again?" water."

She was walking under the lantern, and a bright red was reflected in her eyes, like a tiny streamer, which flashed on and off in an instant, making it hard to see clearly.

"That's good." Gu Shanshan said: "Over the years, for you, my brother has often competed with Jiang Kaiwei. I don't understand, why did you like his domineering young master back then?"

Xia Xiaowan smiled lightly: "You also know that it was back then, when I was ignorant, young and young, no one was foolish!"

Gu Shanshan pushed open the door and said, "It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, the important thing is to correct them if you make mistakes. It's all right now, you are with my brother, and you are ready to be the happiest woman in the world!"

Xia Xiaowan entered the warm room, but shivered: "Oh, it's so cold outside, I'm sleepy, go to sleep."

Gu Shanshan refused to let her sleep: "Let's talk for a while, anyway, if Uncle Xiao puts on the New Year's Eve firecrackers, he will be woken up again."
