Gu’s Yard.
When he entered, the old man was already standing at the entrance, staring at the commotion outside from a distance, radiating vigor and vigor.
Lu Qinan carried his food and ate it. The little girl woke up and staggered a few times before regaining her balance. She raised her meaty little hands and rubbed her eyes.
”Done?”
The old man's voice was low and heavy, not at all pleasant. The people outside had disturbed him for a long time, and he had long since lost his patience.
Gu Zhongshen nodded his head, there was no emotion on his face, he only lowered his eyes and pushed the little girl with his long fingers, ”Stand firm.”
”Oh.”
Blinking his eyes vigorously, he finally woke up. After circling around, he suddenly extended his hand and hugged the old man's thigh tightly. His raised face was clean and clear, ”Grandfather … ”I'm hungry.”
He had already retired many years ago and everyone in the city knew the location of the Gu’s Yard, but no one had ever dared to come knocking on his door.
But now he stopped and the words that he wanted to say were stuffed back into his mouth by that soft childish voice. He held onto his food and said without a temper, ”Are you hungry? ”Come, let's go eat.”
Lu Qinan was startled, and immediately followed. When he went in, he suddenly realized that Gu Zhongshen had been standing in his original spot, and was looking at the pitch-black sky from afar, but he did not know what he was thinking.
At the table, she had finished all three desserts alone in the afternoon at the coffee shop, and Lu Qinan was just worrying about how he could make her lose weight.
”An An, have you decided on a place to eat? Is it Moral Education? ”
The moral education was in his school, and Lu Qinan's school was also one during the day, going to school was a big deal. The old man put down his cutlery and said solemnly, ”Un, our family … Except for the depth, they all study here, all the way until they graduate from junior high school. ”
”The school is not bad. The current council member paid a visit to his home a few days ago …” You have to study to get something to eat, right? ”
Lu Qinan ate two mouthfuls of rice, but he was not in the mood to eat, he lowered his head, and felt embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he heard a man's familiar voice, ”The principal asked her to do the test again.”
His words were not the least bit tactful, and when he looked to his side, Lu Qinan was already clenching his fists, smirking on the surface.
The old man raised his eyes doubtfully, ”What aspect of it is not up to standard?”
Pausing, he suddenly slammed the table with a ”hmph”. ”Who is the principal this year?” How can the children of our Gu family not be comparable to the others? ”
”Mm …” It really isn't anything special, just a bit too pretty stupid woman. ”
The old man was silent for a moment. Looking at Lu Qinan's lowered head, he lightly coughed, ”No need, no need. The only thing I need from my granddaughter is money.”
”Naturally, when I grow up, I will.”
The old man thought for a moment and added.
”An An doesn't have to blame himself either.”
Lu Qinan really wanted to find a hole to hide in, he looked to the side with a flushed face, and saw the father and son duo eating without a care.
She lowered her head and saw that no one was talking about her. She was so focused on eating that she started to feel sad.
What's wrong with her? She must have a pretty stupid woman!
At 10 o'clock at night.
The food was already asleep. In the small room, on the bed, there was only a small pile of it. There was nothing good to sleep on.
Gu Zhongshen pushed open the door and entered. Then, he looked at baby's fair face with the dim bedside lamp. baby was restless and always liked to kick his blanket. She was almost four years old, and her temperament was the same as her mother's. She was gentle and obedient, but had never attended kindergarten in more than three years, and rarely came in contact with outsiders in Los Angeles.
However, after some careful thought, he realized that she was smart and obedient.
Lu Qinan made her learn how to use the piano, but she really didn't have much talent in it. Last time, she yelled out that she had bought a custom-made version of the piano with a limit of one million and played it twice before leaving it untouched in the attic. On the other hand, Bao Bao had mentioned to him a few days ago that her little sister was exceptionally good at drawing.
Gu Zhongshen bent over to help her cover herself with the blanket, his eyes filled with obscure emotions.
His cell phone buzzed, and as he tried to connect the call, he lowered his voice and said, ”Shuyan?”
”I heard that the reporters managed to catch up with Gu’s Yard? ”How is the old man? He's not angry, right?”
Gu Zhongshen shook his head, his voice gloomy, he raised his head to look outside the window that was as black as ink, it was already quiet outside, the people that were squatting there saw that there was no news, and also left, ”Fortunately, I came back early.”
The old man was also a commoner in the early years of society. His Gu's had been washed clean over the years, and his background could not be underestimated. With Gu Zhongshen's personality, even if he got angry, he would try his best to take the official road. If it were the old man, there was a high chance that a group of people would rush out and beat them up before locking them up.
”It's so late. What's the matter?”
He definitely wouldn't attack for no reason.
After pausing for two seconds, the other party on the phone froze. Lian Shuyan's tone became more serious, and said slowly, ”Today, I went to the Butterfly Garden, but Qin Xuanman is no longer here.”
No one said anything.
