Lu Zhan's cell phone by the bed rang three times this morning.

When Gu Qichuan walked into the bedroom, Lu Zhan had just hung up the fourth call.

He was wrapped in a soft quilt, like a well-shaped marshmallow. The "marshmallow" had a mess of hair on it. He pressed the hang up button, and then fell back on the pillow and continued to lie on the bed.

It's 10:[-] in the morning.

At 8 o'clock, Gu Qichuan hugged Lu Zhan and got up to feed him a cup of warm milk, and then let him continue to sleep late.

"Who called?" He went to the bed and sat down, raised his hand and peeled off the corner of the quilt that covered half of Lu Zhan's face: "It rang several times."

Lu Zhan yawned under the quilt, then opened his sleepy eyes, handed the phone to Gu Qichuan, and said, "All four are from Su Ping."

Gu Qichuan opened the call log, and the caller's notes were all the same - Aunt Qin.

Seeing this polite address, he still felt a little apprehensive, but luckily the note was not "Mom".

Gu Xichuan thought of Lu Zhan's burn that night, so he made a quick decision: "Shall I block her for you?"

"..." Lu Zhan hesitated, "Is there something urgent?"

"I shouldn't come to you for urgent matters." Gu Qichuan said, "You have nothing to do with the Qin family, and you have no obligation to take care of Qin Zhuo's parents. I blocked you."

Lu Zhan could hear the sour tone. He didn't stop Mr. Gu, and let him operate on his mobile phone.

"There are some cards on this phone, find a time to get a new one."

Mr. Gu was talking in the dark, and when he put down his phone, he realized that Lu Zhan had covered himself in the quilt again, the silk was trembling and trembling, and a certain lamp was obviously hiding inside and laughing.

Gu Xichuan raised his hand and pulled down most of the quilt, and Lu Zhan's upper body could be seen at a glance. The pajamas were still completely worn, only a few red spots on the collarbone and neck were itchy.

Mr. Gu didn't dare to tire him, so he copied the bottom of the quilt with both hands, and hugged Lu Zhan into his arms: "What are you laughing at?"

After being discovered, Lu Zhan smiled even more happily: "I laughed at you for drinking vinegar early in the morning, and the whole room was sour with vinegar!"

"..." Gu Qichuan wasn't annoyed, instead he let out a small temper along the lines of the conversation: "Then let you taste if I'm a sour person too!"

As he said that, he leaned forward and gnawed Lu Zhan's lips lightly. After being teased by him, Lu Zhan no longer wanted to stay in bed, and cooperated obediently.

Just when Mr. Gu was about to mess around with himself on the bed again, there were two knocks on the door. Lu Zhan quickly pushed him away, and Gu Qichuan straightened his collar before motioning for people outside to open the door and come in. .

The nanny who only came during working hours pushed open the half-hidden door, stood respectfully at the door, and said, "Sir, there is a Ms. Su visiting downstairs who said she was looking for Mr. Lu."

"Su Ping?" Lu Zhan sat on the bed hugging the quilt, frowning slightly: "What is she here for?"

Gu Qichuan straightened Lu Zhan's messed up pajamas: "80.00% are kidnapped by morality, and I want you to intercede for Qin Zhuo."

"..." Lu Zhan said: "If I don't answer those calls, she should know my attitude. What's the matter if I come to the door?"

He didn't know where Su Ping got the address from, but he felt disgusted inevitably when he thought of all the behaviors of this man.

Those five years of being played around are the memories that Lu Zhan least wants to recall.

He didn't like that cowardly self even more.

Su Ping's appearance undoubtedly reminded him of how stupid he was once.

"Xi Chuan, don't show up, I'll go and explain it to her!"

He didn't want Gu Xichuan and the Qin family to confront each other head-on, is a scoundrel worthy of standing in front of a gentleman?

Lu Zhan pulled back the quilt, and was about to get out of bed, but he didn't know if he was violent, and his head was still a little dizzy.

Even after being discharged from the hospital, there will be a long recovery period. Lu Zhan will be more sleepy than ordinary people, and will be more prone to dizziness. These symptoms can be caused by being hungry, tired, and even angry. He picked up the little light from the bed and gave him a glass of milk, just because he was afraid that he would suffer from hypoglycemia if he stayed in bed.

Now that he saw that Lu Zhan's face was not right, he could guess that he was unwell, and quickly pushed him back into the bed, saying: "If you go to see her, I will be jealous too."

"Come to me, she really doesn't know how much she weighs. You can stay upstairs at ease, and I will deal with it."

He turned to the nanny at the door and said, "Go and deliver the dry steamed beef and shrimp dumplings upstairs. Mr. Lu is having breakfast upstairs today."

Lu Zhan deeply knew how weak he was when he stayed in bed without breakfast. Su Ping was a bully, and he had no deterrent effect when he went downstairs like this. Besides, he couldn't beat Mr. Gu, so he had to let it go. .

-

It was the first time for Su Ping to see such a magnificent courtyard villa. If it had been in the past, she would have taken out her mobile phone to take a few selfies of the big house and sent them to show off, but today she has no such intention.

If Qin Zhuo's contract is really terminated, she might be downgraded from being a rich wife to being a nanny for the owner of such a big house.

As soon as she thought this, a nurse in uniform opened the door and politely invited her in.

Su Ping was taken aback, and secretly warned herself not to be reduced to serving others at a young age.

When she reached the entrance, the nurse politely asked her to change her dirty shoes.

It was the first time for Su Ping to enter a house with so many rules, and because the owner was Qin Zhuo's big boss, she followed these complicated rules timidly, bending over when handing her shoes.

When Gu Qichuan walked into the living room, he happened to see "Aunt Qin" bowing her head.

After Su Ping handed over the shoes, she met Gu Qichuan's eyes. She forgot to straighten her waist for a moment, and she was still wearing luxurious clothes.

"You are Mr. Gu, right?" the woman said, walking forward.

Gu Xichuan took a step back to avoid the other party's approach, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

After he dealt with it politely, he went straight to the sofa and sat down. Su Ping naturally followed suit, but as soon as his buttocks touched the cushion, the nanny on the side came forward to remind him: "You can't sit without an invitation."

Su Ping: "..."

She quickly stood up, and the nanny raised her hand to signal her to stand on the edge of the sofa, and Su Ping embarrassingly did so.

That Mr. Gu who can dominate Qin Zhuo's career is slowly flipping through an English magazine, as if he forgot that there is such a guest in the living room.

The silence lasted for 2 minutes, Su Ping finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said first: "Boss Gu, I heard that Lu Zhan is here with you, but in fact, I mainly came to see him today."

Gu Xichuan asked without raising his head: "What identity did you come to my family?"

Su Ping was startled by the attributive he put before Lu Zhan's name.

Their relationship...has become so close?

She couldn't say whether she was happy or not. On the one hand, she should be glad that it would be useful for Lu Zhan to intercede for Qin Zhuo under such a relationship. On the other hand, she was worried whether Lu Zhan would be unwilling to help Qin Zhuo because of the previous incident.

"I am Lu Zhan's...elder." Su Ping struggled to build a relationship with Lu Zhan: "The Lu family and the Qin family have always had some friendship, Lu Zhan called me aunt since he was a child, and... also called me for a few years Oh shit."

"Oh~" Gu Qichuan pretended to be shocked: "Then it seems to be half a relative? Since you are a relative of Zhanzhan, then don't be rude, Mrs. Li! Pour a glass of Yuqian Longjing for this Ms. Su."

"Use freshly boiled water for soaking."

Aunt Li responded and turned to the kitchen.

Su Ping didn't realize that there was something wrong here, she continued: "I also watched Xiaozhan grow up, and I have a deep relationship with him. He and his son are also destined to have nothing to do with each other. We It’s hard to say anything now. Lu Zhan may have misunderstood me about some things in the past. If Mr. Gu told him that he had been wronged, don’t pay too much attention to it. I can also say sorry to Lu Zhan face to face now. "

"Oh." Gu Qichuan turned over a page of the magazine: "That's not necessary."

Su Ping saw that Gu Qichuan was a little friendly towards her, so she boldly said: "Actually, it's okay even if you don't see Lu Zhan. I'm here today... mainly because I want to meet you. It's unfortunate that you just happen to be at home ..."

"Mrs. Qin, your tea." Aunt Li brought a cup of hot Yuqian Longjing on a tray, interrupting her.

Seeing that the cup was still smoking hot, Su Ping smiled and said, "Take it to dry first, and I'll drink it when the tea is cold."

"Sister-in-law Li still has to prepare lunch. Ms. Su is making things difficult for my staff by refusing like this?"

"No, no, Mr. Gu, don't get me wrong." Su Ping said anxiously, "I mean, this tea can be left to dry on the table for a while..."

Gu Xichuan said in an easy-going tone, "It's the same if you hold it to dry with your hands."

"what?"

"Hold it!"

Su Ping was taken aback by his order, and immediately took the handleless blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand, which was filled with freshly boiled hot water, and the tea was poured ninety percent full. Basically the same, only the temperature of the edge of the cup that spreads out is slightly lower.

Su Ping struggled to hold the rim of the cup. When her left hand became too hot, she switched to her right hand, and when her right hand couldn't bear it, she switched to her left hand.

Going back and forth like this really made her feel more secure.

Only then did Gu Qichuan give the opportunity: "Go on."

There was no intention of letting her sit down.

"...my son Qin Zhuo..." Su Ping saw Gu Qichuan's true attitude at this moment. Her ten fingertips were all red hot, and her voice trembled with pain: "He did do a lot of stupid things, but he He can make money, and his works are well-received in all aspects, Mr. Gu, please look at his... grades... hiss..."

Her hands trembled, and she was about to drop the teacup. Aunt Li reminded in a low voice abruptly: "Cups are valuable items for entertaining distinguished guests. Each cup costs [-] yuan. If it is broken, please pay the distinguished guests according to the price."

Su Ping immediately stabilized her position again, ignoring the pain.

"Please Mr. Gu, based on his achievements, don't terminate the contract with him. The compensation is too much, and the three houses of our Qin family are not enough to pay!"

"Three houses?" Gu Qichuan closed the cover of the financial magazine, put the book on the table, clasped his hands on the knee of his right leg, tilted his head slightly, glanced at Su Ping with a cold light from the corner of his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "One of the sets is shared with Lu Zhan, right? How did it become the private property of the Qin family?"

"..." How dare she say that when she signed the divorce agreement, she had already transferred the house to Qin Zhuo without telling Lu Zhan? !

Su Ping's face with makeup was distorted a bit hideously due to the pain and grievance, Gu Qichuan didn't bother to look at her, and showed mercy: "The tea is cold, you should drink it."

As if relieved, the woman immediately put some hot tea into her mouth. It was the top-quality Yuqian Longjing, but she couldn't taste the preciousness of this tea.

Just as she was about to put down the cup, Gu Qichuan said again: "Sister-in-law Li, pour her another cup of hot tea."

Su Ping: "..."

"Boss Gu, if you don't want to just say so, why bother making things difficult for me?!"

Gu Xichuan glanced at her and said: "Terminating the contract with Qin Zhuo will indeed cause Gu Yi Films to lose tens of millions of net profits in the long run, but Ms. Su may not know that in Gu's family business, the film industry Occupying only a small branch, losing tens of millions, is like a hundred-year-old giant tree losing a leaf, the trunk will not care about this leaf, but this 'leaf' can be easily crushed Qin Zhuo's life."

"It's up to me to choose whether or not to let this 'leaf' fall."

Su Ping looked like the sky was falling, she was pinned down, and she couldn't hold back anymore.

"However, since you came so humbly to ask for a future for your son, I'm really moved." Gu Qichuan got up from the sofa and said, "There is a pot of hot water in the kitchen specially for entertaining you as a distinguished guest. If you can Let the hot water cool down with your own hands, Gu Yi will not terminate the contract with Qin Zhuo."

"..." Su Ping said, "Are you serious? Well, even if my hands are scalded today, I'll let you dry the tea!"

Mrs. Li took the tray and handed over a cup of boiling hot tea again.

Su Ping pinched the rim of the cup with her numb fingertips, and started a new round of suffering.

During this period, the servants brought one thing after another from the kitchen and went to the second floor early. The smell, mixed with the smell of tea, surrounded Su Ping.

Gu Xichuan returned to the master bedroom on the second floor, and he had breakfast with Lu Zhan, who knew nothing about it.

An hour later, Lu Zhan burped contentedly and happily in Mr. Gu's arms, and the symptoms of hypoglycemia finally disappeared.

Mrs. Li knocked on the bedroom door and said, "Ms. Su has finished drinking the tea."

Gu Qichuan said without changing his face: "Then invite her out."

Lu Zhan asked what kind of tea he wanted without knowing it, but Gu Xichuan didn't answer, he just took the ring finger of Xiaodeng's left hand, lowered his head and gently kissed the burn scar.

Downstairs, Mrs. Li invited Su Ping out of the villa, packed the expensive cup and gave it to Su Ping.

This cup cannot be kept if it is dirty.

Su Ping didn't want it at first, but remembering the price of the cup, she took it with both hands very spinelessly.

The hands she held the cup were already red from the heat, and dense blisters appeared on her fingertips.

How hot Lu Zhan was when she was hot back then, Gu Xichuan returned ten times more.

The author says:

Regarding the scald, Zhan didn't intentionally complain. He only said that Su Ping accidentally knocked over the cup and scalded it under the pressure of Mr. Gu. What happened, it was impossible for him to really splash Su Ping with hot water, and just repay Su Ping in his own way.
