＊＊＊
Chandler Bakery.
Xiao Mo has parked his car in front of the store.
Since the last conversation with Shi Ye, Gu Nian no longer has to deliberately work overtime to avoid Shi Ye.
It stands to reason that since she is a baker, she can get off work on time after finishing preparing the goods.
But Shi Ye heard that Shi Mo invited her to have dinner, which made Shi Ye feel unhappy.
Have a meal?
What to eat?
Eating with a dude like Shi Mo...
What if he gets Gu Nian drunk again and then deceives Gu Nian somewhere else...
All kinds of pictures, the more I think about them, the more distressing I become.
Shi Ye didn't want this to happen, so when he got off work, he rushed directly to Chandler Bakery.
Thinking of taking Gu Nian back along the way.
In this way, Shi Mo would certainly not be able to get entangled with anything.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Gu Nian walked out of the store carrying her backpack, which was almost fading after washing.
When she looked up, she saw Shi Ye's car parked in front of her.
Gu Nian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this meant.
Xiao Mo pressed down the car window and smiled happily at Gu Nian.
Then he got out of the car and opened the back seat door.
I saw Shi Ye sitting inside.
Then Xiao Mo walked towards Gu Nian.
"Miss Gu, Mr. Shi said that you guys happened to be off work, so I took you back with me on the way."
Forehead……
Gu Nian felt a little strange in her heart, wondering if Shi Ye had taken the wrong medicine today.
They shouldn't have this kind of relationship where they go to and from get off work together, right?
Therefore, Gu Nian wanted to refuse.
Of course, Shi Ye also predicted this.
Seeing that Gu Nian was unwilling to get in the car, Shi Ye opened the car door, buttoned his suit, then adjusted his expression, smiled, and walked towards Gu Nian himself.
"No dinner tonight?"
Shi Ye asked inexplicably.
Then he glanced into the store, but there was no sign of the playboy Shimo.
"No! What kind of dinner can I have?"
Although Gu Nian was very puzzled, he still replied directly.
"Uh, what a coincidence! I don't have a meal either."
Shi Ye echoed somewhat naively.
But this echo is better left unsaid.
Everyone knew that Shi Ye rarely attended dinner parties outside.
This is not pure nonsense.
Gu Nian said "Oh" and then looked at Shi Ye strangely.
"so what?"
Shi Ye paused and thought for a long time before he thought of saying:
"Oh, that's right. Mother Zhang said that she cooked too much food tonight, so she wanted to take you back with her to avoid having to squeeze into the bus again."
After speaking, Shi Ye was very satisfied with his reasons.
A perfect score of 100 can be scored 120~
"Then why don't you take Lawyer Qin back with you..."
I go!
When Shi Ye heard what Gu Nian said, he was instantly slapped in the face.
The original answer sheet was one hundred and two points, but now it was minus sixty points.
"Uh, he...he...oh, he has a date tonight!"
Shi Ye quickly found another excuse.
"Okay, don't waste time. Go home quickly and eat early."
After saying that, Shi Ye urged Gu Nian to get in the car.
Although Gu Nian felt that Shi Ye's behavior was very strange today, his words did make sense.
After a busy day, I actually have back pain and leg cramps. Only a fool would be willing to squeeze into the bus if I could have a Maybach in my car!
This advantage will not be taken advantage of.
Therefore, Gu Nian also jumped on Shi Ye's coattails.
In the back seat of the car, Gu Nian and Shi Ye sat side by side.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Ye holding a bag from Chandler's Bakery.
I didn't eat a bite of the bread inside.
Because it is freshly baked bread, the best tasting time is very short, and now it is a bit dry and hard.
Gu Nian quietly raised his eyes and looked at Shi Ye.
I want to ask, but I don’t know how.
"If you don't eat it, why do you come to buy it?"
…
After a few minutes, Shi Ye's car started and left.
A motorcycle also drove over.
Shi Mo's face was reflected in the rearview mirror of the motorcycle.
Looking at Maybach's retreating back.
"Gu Nian?"
"Why did you get into your brother Shi Ye's car?"
Thinking of this, Shi Mo stepped on the accelerator and followed the direction of the Maybach.
Followed.
***
Yun Mansion.
Shi Ye's Maybach drove in.
Five minutes later, Shi Mo's motorcycle also arrived here.
However, because Yun Mansion is a private villa area, Shi Mo can't go inside anymore.
So, he could only stop on the side of the road, then took off his helmet and looked inside.
Yun Mansion?
This seems to be the location of the new villa that brother Shi Ye later bought.
but……
Why did Gu Nian follow him in?
How do they know each other?
Isn't my brother already married?
But no one knows who Shi Ye is marrying...
A series of doubts made Shi Mo very confused.
What is clear is that Shi Mo previously found out that Du Yucheng had not returned to China.
Du Yucheng.
Gu Nian.
They look somewhat similar.
Thinking of this, suddenly, a bold hypothesis came to Shi Mo's mind.
***
Back home.
Zhang Ma has already laid out dinner.
But it's not much better than before, but it still has four dishes and one soup.
One person can't finish the meal.
Zhang Ma found it strange when she saw that Shi Ye came back with Gu Nian today.
"Oh, what kind of wind is blowing today? You two actually got off work together."
"They really look like a newlywed couple!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ma even found this scene very interesting.
If they hadn't known better, they were just a contract couple, but judging from the scene before them, Shi Ye and Gu Nian looked just like a real couple when they went home together.
Forehead……
I knew Zhang Ma’s words were unintentional.
But Gu Nian still felt her face getting hot, and she also felt that Zhang Ma's words might arouse Shi Ye's disgust.
He quickly explained:
"Mother Zhang, you are just joking. I just took Mr. Shi's ride back."
After saying that, Gu Nian quietly took a look at Shi Ye's expression.
I thought he would be upset because of the joke, but Shi Ye had a casual expression, and it was obvious that he didn't have any objection.
Zhang Ma said goodbye to the two of them, tidied up briefly, and left after get off work.
Shi Ye and Gu Nian were the only two people left in the villa again.
"Let's eat!"
Shi Ye placed the bag of bread randomly on the table, then walked into the kitchen to wash his hands.
Because it was not placed firmly, the bread bag fell over.
The bread inside fell from the bag to the ground as if it had been abandoned.
Gu Nian walked over and picked up the bread one by one.
After the dough cools, it becomes a little dry and hard.
The afternoon bread was originally made by Gu Nian, but at this moment, it was as worthless as garbage.
This made Gu Nian feel a little uncomfortable.
During dinner.
Shi Ye and Gu Nian sat face to face, and Gu Nian just kept her head busy picking up vegetables and eating.
She had nothing special to say to Shi Ye.
They are not in a relationship where they can talk about themselves.
In the villa, except for the sound of the two people's chopsticks clashing with the dishes, everything was quiet.
"bread......"
"bread......"
At this time, the two men mentioned this term almost in unison.
Gu Nian was stunned for a second, and then chose to give way to Xian, waiting for Shi Ye to finish speaking.
Shi Ye also paused for a moment before continuing:
"You actually made the bread, right?"
Gu Nian nodded.
"I knew it. However, I still want to confirm it with you in person, because..."
"If you hadn't done it, I might have thrown them all away after a while."
Shi Ye's words stunned Gu Nian.
Hearing these words, it seemed that there was an indescribable "preference", but Gu Nian did not dare to think in an ambiguous direction.
"If you don't like to eat, you don't have to force it."
Gu Nian pretended to be indifferent.
At this time, Shi Ye smiled lightly, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile.
"Actually, I like the bread in your store very much, and so does my grandma."
"But today after I found out that this store was opened by Shi Mo, I suddenly felt very conflicted."
"However, I am sure that the bread I bought was made by you yourself. Even if you resist again, I will eat them. You can rest assured."
Hearing Shi Ye's words, Gu Nian felt warm in his heart.
It turned out that Shi Ye saw the way she looked at the bread just now.
"So, you don't eat bread because you hate Shi Mo?"
...
Shi Ye didn't explain, just took a bite of rice.
Gu Nian then stopped asking further questions.
During dinner time, the two of them became quiet again.
Gu Nian picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth along with the rice.
But at this moment, Shi Ye spoke again to break the silence.
Very suddenly he asked:
"Shi Mo...he didn't harass you much, did he?"
Hearing this, Gu Nian, who had not yet swallowed a mouthful of food, almost choked.
"Wha...what?"
Gu Nian took a sip of water, then took a breath and looked at Shi Ye with a confused expression.
Why did the conversation turn from bread to this inexplicably?
I saw Shi Ye looking at him very seriously.
"He is my brother." Shi Ye continued.
"I know, I heard boss Shi Mo calling you 'brother' during the day."
Gu Nian replied, and then continued to put food into his mouth.
At this time, Shi Ye continued:
"Half-mother."
After hearing these four words, Gu Nian raised his head and glanced at Shi Ye.
Although it was just four short words, it was mixed with too many past entanglements. Gu Nian could feel that Shi Ye must have been greatly hurt by these four words.
Because when Shi Ye said these four words, his expression was so lonely, and his eyes were full of sorrow.
Gu Nian put down her chopsticks and waited quietly for Shi Ye. If he wanted to continue talking, Gu Nian was willing to listen.
"This kid, Shi Mo, is actually very innocent. After all, none of us can choose our parents."
"But, I am also innocent."
…
Hearing this, Gu Nian felt a twinge in his heart.
She understood Shi Ye's mood at the moment very well.
Because she is not like this.
Every child cannot choose their parents. They can only be forced to bear the good or bad brought by their parents from the moment they are born.
Lucky people nourish their lives with memories of their past growth.
Unfortunate people spend their whole lives making up for their past growth.
"Although I know he is also innocent, I still can't face him."
yes.
Shi Ye is not the Virgin.
His father Shi Wei'an, and the Zhu family behind him, gave Shi Ye a devastating blow.
How could he say he was relieved so easily.
Facing Shi Mo, he could only choose to ignore it.
"I understand how you feel." Gu Nian said softly.
"I don't have any intention of harming Shi Mo."
"I know."
When Shi Mo was mentioned, Shi Ye felt helpless.
Gu Nian also listened quietly during the meal and listened to Shi Ye tell her more about what happened in Shi Ye's past.
It turns out that Shi Ye's original family was also in such pain.
The pain was so painful that Gu Nian felt a sense of empathy and sympathy.
Gu Nian bit her lip and wanted to comfort Shi Ye, but she didn't know where to start.
After all, this kind of pain will last almost a lifetime.
Nothing can be resolved with just a few words.
So, speaking of this, Gu Nian understood why Shi Ye couldn't eat anymore just now because he knew that Shi Mo was the investor behind Chandler Bakery.
Bread is innocent, but what disgusts Shi Ye is the capital behind the investment in this bakery - Zhu's Group.
