It was almost dinner time, and Gu Shaoting didn't mention playing chess again.
He asked Gu Baiye to go to the study with him to talk.
Then he went upstairs first.
Gu Baiye didn't follow him immediately. He squatted next to Mo Qian, lowered his voice and scolded, "We agreed that we can't mention things like Lao Qi, but you are talking nonsense again! I will deduct a gold bar from you this time. If you do it again, it will be doubled." .”
When Mo Qian heard this, his hand playing with the chess pieces paused in the chess case.
She turned her head and looked directly at Gu Baiye with a scary look.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Baiye glared back, "No one who works to make money is as arrogant as you."
He put out his usual airs of being a CEO.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mo Qian reaching for her satchel.
Gu Baiye is familiar with this action!
He immediately took a step back and distanced himself from Mo Qian, "We agreed not to use talismans!"
Mo Qian ignored him and continued to read.
After a long time, she finally found what she was looking for. She rolled her eyes at Gu Baiye before taking out a small notebook from her pocket.
The cover of the book is made of gray cloth, with yellow paper for drawing symbols sandwiched inside, and it is crudely bound with thick thread.
Mo Qian immediately opened the page to the page he was looking for, then took out his pen and wrote on it.
Gu Baiye glanced at it as if he didn't care.
He stared at it as soon as he saw it.
I saw a line of words written crookedly on the notebook: Lao Liu, XXXXXX
And Mo Qian took the pen and drew an extra X after this line...
After looking at the painting, she was still not satisfied.
Then on Lao Liu’s head, I drew a big tortoise!
…
Gu Baiye went upstairs feeling angry.
This stinky girl really can't say another word to her.
Reason with a fool and she will bring you down to her IQ level and then beat you with her logic.
Gu Baiye had already made up his mind to treat her like nothing.
At this time, the "air" downstairs was extremely boring.
She opened the big box that Gu Baiye had just given her again and played with the gold bricks inside.
One moment it forms the character "one", the other moment it forms the character character "human".
Mo Qian just let it go under Gu Xingguo's nose.
Gu Xingguo looked at the little hat Mo Qian was wearing crookedly, and the corners of his lips raised without noticing.
Although this little girl is a little dazed, people can't help but feel happy when they see her.
Gu Xingguo couldn't figure out why looking at her made his heart overflow with fatherly love, just like the feeling he felt when he looked at the children at home when they were young.
He called Mrs. Zhang and brought Mo Qian a glass of freshly squeezed juice.
"Little girl, drink some water."
"Thank you." Mo Qian thanked him politely before picking up the water glass.
Then drink it all in one gulp...
Just like toasting with others at a wine shop, it is called bold.
Gu Xingguo was stunned when he saw her finish her drink and put it on the table. Her posture was no less than that of Wu Song who was about to go up the mountain to kill a tiger after finishing his drink.
This is too bohemian...
Gu Xingguo shook his head, but didn't say anything.
After all, he is someone else's child and it is not his turn to meddle in other people's affairs.
He just asked Mrs. Zhang to bring another glass.
Mo Qian didn't drink this time and was busy playing with her gold bricks.
Gu Xingguo sat next to her and chatted with her casually, "Little girl, how old are you?"
"twenty."
"You are twenty years old?" Gu Xingguo was a little surprised, "I thought you were only fifteen or sixteen years old."
This little girl's eyes are particularly pure, and she talks and acts like a half-grown child.
You can't tell at all that she is already the same age as Xiangwei.
Gu Xingguo felt a little sad when he looked at Mo Qian's gray robe. There were at least dozens of patches, large and small, sewn on it.
It's just the beginning of autumn, and the weather is not too cold yet, but the robe on this little girl looks very heavy, like winter clothes.
Gu Xingguo couldn't help but sigh, it's like people have different fates.
They were both twenty years old. Compared with Xiangwei, they were like hell and heaven.
He felt uncomfortable in his heart. He sighed and shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and asked with concern, "Little girl, how old were you when you were sent to the Taoist temple?"
"As soon as he was born." Mo Qian answered while playing, his expression as usual.
But Gu Xingguo's heart was full of mixed emotions, as if he had knocked over the spice box.
He looked at Mo Qian with sympathy and hesitated for a while before asking, "So... what about your parents?"
When Mo Qian heard the words "parents", he raised his head, blinked his eyes, and said slowly after a long time, "I can't say it now, I will tell you next month."
"Ah?" Gu Xingguo was startled.
I didn’t expect that this little girl’s parents would have to keep it a secret.
But he quickly guessed it.
The little girl must have been abandoned by her parents, so she didn't want to mention them.
Thinking of this, Gu Xingguo didn't know what was wrong with his eyes.
It's like the valve is broken, sour water wants to flow out.
Gu Xingguo wiped his eyes secretly, "Little girl, what do you usually do in the Taoist temple? Isn't it boring?"
"No." Mo Qian looked confused and didn't understand why he asked.
Mo Qian told him how busy he was at the Taoist temple every day.
"Get up in the morning, do morning exercises, make breakfast, burn incense to the ancestors, meditate for three hours in the morning, meditate for three hours in the afternoon, then go up the mountain to pick herbs, play with tigers and lions, and draw talisman paper in the evening. The day will pass. Yes, very busy."
There was no trace of grievance on Mo Qian's face.
But there are always some people who are particularly good at touching themselves...
Gu Xingguo looked at her with sympathy.
Just like old parents looking at their children who have left home.
He thought about the poor and miserable life the little girl had lived in the mountains over the years, and sighed deeply.
I can't contain my emotions.
I almost cried - so moved.
At this moment, Gu Xingguo was particularly proud of himself.
It's not because of his good father that Xiangwei can live such a comfortable life.
Look at this poor little Mo Qian.
When you are reborn, you are probably blind.
I don’t know which bastard family I was born into.
…
The conversation between the two ended here.
One continued to play with gold, while the other was so moved that he almost awarded himself the Best Dad Award.
Although the picture is inconsistent, they get along well with each other.
Until the roar of a sports car sounded outside, and it drove into the yard with a "buzz-" sound.
Gu Xingguo slapped his thigh, "Ah, my precious daughter is back!"
After saying that, he stopped talking to Mo Qian, stood up, and trotted out of the living room.
Just by looking at the big grin between his heels and slippers, you can tell how happy he is...
…
When Gu Xiangwei came back, the whole family mobilized.
The servants stopped working behind the scenes and quickly came out to welcome Miss Seven home.
Mrs. Zhang had already run out to greet her.
She opened the car door.
Then I saw a beautiful woman with a sense of technology getting out of the car.
This is the seventh young lady of the Gu family, Gu Xiangwei.
Her facial features are exquisite and faultless, and her chestnut curly hair bounces with her figure, making her confident and proud.
Gu Xiangwei walked in front with a cold face wearing seven-centimeter high heels.
Mrs. Zhang followed behind and reported in a low voice, "Miss, the Sixth Young Master brought back a girl today. She said that she had saved the Sixth Young Madam and she came to our house to stay for a few days."
When Gu Xiangwei heard this, she immediately stopped and said, "How old is this girl? Where did she come from?"
"I heard her tell the master that she was twenty years old and came from Daodao Village." Mrs. Zhang answered truthfully.
"Hmph, country boy." Gu Xiangwei sneered and shook her hair disdainfully.
Then walked into the villa.
"Miss Seven!" Mrs. Zhang stopped her again.
"What else?"
Gu Xiangwei stood still with a look of reluctance.
Mrs. Zhang hurried forward and whispered in Gu Xiangwei's ear.
"This girl looks just like Madame."
"What?"
Gu Xiangwei's face suddenly darkened...
