Standing at the door of his cousin's house, Gu Jiachen knocked on the scarlet anti-theft door.

The peephole of the anti-theft door was covered by a big red and gold-stamped happy character.On both sides of the door frame, there are still red paper garlands that were hung on the day of the big wedding. Under the bright voice-activated lights in the corridor, the string of red garlands looks particularly bright.

The building is old and the sound insulation is not good. You can faintly hear laughter and laughter from inside the door.

Gu Jiachen rang the doorbell, and it didn't take long before he heard a soft voice from a woman inside the door saying, "Here we are."

Gu Jiachen waited for a while, the woman's voice approached the door, and asked inside, "Who is it?"

"It's me, retainer."

The door opened with a sound of "Yeah," and the bright and dazzling face of my sister-in-law reflected the lights in the room.

"Come in quickly, you are a rare visitor! Today is complete!" The sister-in-law said and let the Gu family servants into the house.

Gu Jiachen still had trouble walking, he stood at the door and wanted to change his shoes, but his sister-in-law told him not to change them, saying that there were guests in the room today.

"Just now I saw a dense cloud outside, is it raining outside?"

Gu Jiachen said: "It's not raining. I thought it was going to rain, but when I walked over, the clouds dispersed again. There's still a moon outside right now."

Hearing what he said, the sister-in-law really poked her head towards the window and said, "It's true, the treetops outside are all white. I thought it was a street lamp at first, but it turned out to be the moon."

"Let's not talk about it, there are guests at home, I will take you to meet them - your brother is accompanying the guests."

Gu Jiachen nodded and followed his sister-in-law to the restaurant.

This house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. The dining room is quite large. Two round tables are placed side by side. One table is empty with a lot of drinks on it. A circle of fat men in suits and leather shoes sits at the other table.Facing the passageway between the dining room and the living room, sat a man with a square face and a full atrium. He was tall and strong, and he was wrapped tightly in a silver-gray suit.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the room is very low, and some people have been drinking for three rounds, and their faces are already flushed.

Just now there was the sound of chatting, laughing and punching, but now they probably heard some guests coming, so they all stopped and just ate vegetables.

The man with square ears was staring at Gu Jiachen with piercing eyes.

The eldest cousin was sitting by the aisle, and when he saw his wife walking in with Gu's servants, he quickly stood up and said, "The retainers are here? Haha, what a coincidence, hurry up, this is your Uncle Li."

The man with the square ears smiled and nodded at Gu Jiachen, and said, "Family law, this is your cousin you often mention to me?"

Jialu hurriedly said: "Yes, this is my cousin Gu Jiachen."

As he spoke, he pushed Gu Jiachen forward.

Gu Jiachen looked at the tall and strong man coldly, and called dryly: "Uncle Li."

The man nodded again, and Zhou Jialu then pulled Gu Jiachen from Uncle Li's right and introduced them to Gu Jiachen one by one.

Gu Jiachen greeted each of them with a straight face.During that time, the man called Uncle Li just drank wine in silence.After the introduction was over, he put down his glass and talked to Gu Jiachen:

"I heard from your brother that you work in the procuratorate? Which district?"

Gu Jiachen replied blankly: "Qinglong District."

The man paused, and said, "Oh, it's Lao Chen's subordinate. I heard him talk about you, why didn't I see him take you out?"

Gu Jiachen said: "I don't know how to drink."

Everyone at the table laughed when he said this sentence.Zhou Jialu also laughed, and said: "That's right, my younger brother is good at everything, but not at all—he can't drink!"

Uncle Li stroked the snow-white wine glass in his hand lightly, and said: "If you don't drink alcohol, you can teach it slowly. Your brother prepared good wine today. You can accompany Uncle Li to have a drink. I won't make it difficult for you. Just this glass Just fine."

During the conversation, someone had already poured out a wine glass and handed it to Gu Jiachen.

Gu Jiachen took a cold look at the wine in the glass, but didn't take it, he just said flatly, "I'm not used to the sauce."

After hearing this, everyone else smiled and did not respond. Only Gu Jiachen's sister-in-law secretly squeezed Gu Jiachen's arm from behind.

Uncle Li said to Zhou Jialu with a smile on his face: "Your brother has a really good nose."

Zhou Jialu just laughed, and his wife said to Uncle Li: "Second Uncle, Jialu's younger brother can't drink now, he's hurt—"

Uncle Li stared at Gu Jiachen for a while, and said as if remembering something: "Oh...you are the prosecutor who was arrested and beaten by the police! Jialu, why are you still standing there? Take you Brother, sit down, I heard that he is seriously injured."

As soon as the voice fell, the people around Zhou Jialu quickly moved their seats to make room for an empty seat, and another aunt who took care of Mrs. Zhou came over, placed a chair in the empty seat, and added bowls and chopsticks. cups and saucers.

Gu Jiachen was dragged to sit down, and the person next to him just stared at Gu Jiachen's wrist, smiled when he saw it, and said to Zhou Jialu: "Your brother is really discerning, look at the one on his hand, and our boss Same."

The boss naturally said that Uncle Li, Uncle Li raised his eyes and said, "Oh?"

The man lifted Gu Jiachen's hand lightly, and the exquisitely crafted watch on his wrist was exposed.Then Uncle Li just glanced at it, and said: "You have no eyesight. How is it the same as mine? The ones on his hands are better than mine!"

Hearing this, the man squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Gu Jiachen's watch. After looking at it for a while, he didn't see why.Uncle Li could only smile and shake his head, saying:

"No vision means no vision. Retainer, why don't you sit next to me? Look at your thin clothes, and you don't drink alcohol. That's the air-conditioning vent. Don't blow you cold."

These words startled everyone, and after a moment of stunned, the people at the table stood up one after another to give up their seats.Sister-in-law Zhou's face was full of smiles, and she hurriedly pulled Gu's retainer up, and asked him to move to Uncle Li's side, while saying:

"Second uncle usually lacks a child who is compatible with him to relieve his boredom. The young people around him are not in his eyes. Your brother reluctantly let him fall in love with him, but he thinks your brother is too hot-tempered. Today is considered a good match. gone."

Gu Jiachen's eyebrows were cold, he sat there motionless, glanced at his watch, and said:

"Could you mean this?"

Uncle Li just smiled without saying a word.

Sister-in-law Zhou said: "That's right. My second uncle doesn't have any hobbies, but he just likes this. This is all from my own family, and I'm not afraid to say that the one in his hand was only released not long ago, and it took a lot of effort to buy it!" I happened to buy the number 8, which is auspicious."

Then Uncle Li said at this time: "Hehe, what a coincidence? I wanted number 7, but it was bought by someone else!"

Sister-in-law Zhou said: "Second Uncle, 7 is not good, 8 is good, how auspicious!"

Gu Jiachen looked at his wrist coldly, and he remembered that it was just brought back from Switzerland by Ren Xiaoxu, and the number of this one in his hand was 7.

"This is the 7's... If the 7's can sit next to you, let my brother sit."

As Gu Jiachen said, he took off his watch and threw it on Zhou Jialu's seat with a click.

The sound of clicking silenced the laughter in the surrounding area, and no one heard a word in the restaurant, only the sound of ding ding dong dong putting the cups and chopsticks on.

Zhou Jialu was so angry that he scolded Gu Jiachen, "Why are you so ignorant", and at the same time wanted to slap him.

As soon as Gu Jiachen hid outside, that slap slapped the wine table, swept a porcelain bowl to the ground and smashed it to pieces.The Zhou family couldn't get angry and wanted to beat him, but his wife stopped him and persuaded him, "What do you look like in front of the second uncle!"

Uncle Li also said: "Okay, Jialu, I told you that today I am not your boss, but your second uncle. Don't act like this, it will make you upset!"

Zhou Jialu stopped after hearing this, and quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, second uncle, my younger brother is not sensible."

Uncle Li said: "Sensible and ignorant, you shouldn't just hit him. Beating a dog depends on the owner's face..." He glanced at the watch, "You can't even offend me, who wears number 8. No. 7, you can offend? Or...your second uncle and I have no skills..."

Zhou Jialu's face turned pale when he heard Uncle Li's words. While apologizing for his mistake, he dragged Gu Jiachen to the bedroom, and asked his wife to greet the guests well.

It was inconvenient for Gu Jiachen to walk, he was pulled by his brother, and he staggered, so he pushed his brother vigorously, and said: "Don't show kindness to me here, I don't want your help, I'm afraid of being You ate it!"

Zhou Jialu's face turned red and white, and he said: "You can't walk steadily by yourself, who can help you if you don't want me to help? Who made you come here because you were injured!" When he looked up, he saw that the door outside the living room was open. Then he said to his wife, "Why don't you close the door!"

His wife stood there with a troubled expression on her face, and when she was about to speak, she heard Gu Jiachen say to the door: "Secretary Han, come in and help me."

There was a person standing outside the door. Sister-in-law Zhou saw that she wanted to invite him in, but that person just stood quietly outside the door. Sister-in-law Zhou had to open the door.At this moment, Secretary Han heard Gu Jiachen calling him, so he walked in and helped Gu Jiachen walk to the bedroom.

Zhou Jialu stood there staring at Gu Jiachen's back until he entered the bedroom, then walked to his boss with a serious expression.After the two discussed a few words, his boss asked another secretary to book a table in a restaurant, and took his subordinates there to have a drink first.

Zhou Jialu sent the man out before returning to his boss and said, "Second Uncle, I'm so sorry, this kid probably came to Xingshi to inquire about his crime..."

Uncle Li smiled understandingly, and said, "Understood, it's not easy for you. I know you are loyal, but you shouldn't have to risk your brother just to do things for me, right?"

Zhou Jialu said: "Don't say that. We are all a family now, isn't doing things for you the same as doing things for myself? My younger brother is worthless, so it's his luck to help us."

Uncle Li's face changed, and he pointed to the watch on the table and said, "If you say you have no vision, you have no vision! That is a great Buddha! Why didn't you explain it to me before you did something? You, you, you are in a hurry, Anyone dares to touch! Do you think that it is your brother so that you can not bear grudges? Be careful playing with fire!"
