Following Butler Liang, Gu Yuan slowly walked down the corridor, then walked around the screen wall, and finally came to the side courtyard.
"This is it, go in by yourself." Butler Liang said.
"Who wants to see me?" Gu Yuan asked.
Butler Liang looked at the little guy in front of him and smiled: "Didn't you already guess it?"
Gu Yuan just wanted to verify his guess.
After Butler Liang left, Gu Yuan walked into the side courtyard and saw the old lady basking in the sun.
I used to say that my body was weak and I couldn't blow the wind, but now it doesn't look like it!
Gu Yuan stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then reached out and knocked on the door. The old man lying on the chair still did not open his eyes, but just whispered softly, which meant that Gu Yuan was allowed to come over.
Gu Yuan walked slowly, walked up to him, looked around, and smiled.
Speaking of which, this old lady is a well-known person in the Li family, but she lives in such a side yard. What's even more outrageous is that vegetables and chickens are planted in this yard. Gu Yuan even stepped on a puddle when he came in. Chicken shit.
It is hard to imagine that the old lady in front of me, who is full of poetry and literature, actually likes such a living environment.
"Old lady, is there no heating in the room?" Gu Yuan walked up and said with a smile.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. Gu Yuan did not look down on him, but moved a chair over and sat down very naturally.
"Have you seen me before?" The old lady slowly sat up and adjusted the blanket on her body.
Gu Yuan shook his head blankly.
The old lady looked at Gu Yuan with a strange expression.
It was obviously the first time they met, but Gu Yuan acted too casually in front of her. This was something new for the old lady. Even her own grandson was not so casual.
"Old lady, why don't you go back to the house?" Gu Yuan looked around and said.
He didn't care, but he was always worried that such cold weather would be too much for the old man's body. Although the sun was not bad today, the warmth brought by the sun was minimal in the northern winter temperature.
"You don't understand. This man is old and always feels that there is a smell on his body. He can't smell it, but others can smell it. It's like mold." The old man half-squinted his eyes and put his hands on the blanket. "No one likes the smell."
"Since you can't smell it, just pretend it's not there!" Gu Yuan said cheerfully.
"Doesn't that mean you are blind with your eyes closed?" The old man glanced at Gu Yuan and suddenly said, "Who asked you to send that hairpin?"
In fact, she already had a guess in her mind, but she still wanted to confirm it from Gu Yuan.
"hairpin?"
Seeing the puzzled expression on Gu Yuan's face, the old lady was thoughtful.
"It seems that you haven't opened the box."
Gu Yuan suddenly realized and explained: "After all, it is a gift prepared by Captain Li for you. Naturally, I cannot open it privately."
In fact, he had always been curious about what was inside. When Li Siming took action, it was definitely not an ordinary gift. He heard that it was just a hairpin. Although Gu Yuan satisfied his curiosity, he was somewhat disappointed.
But then I thought about it, Li Siming is the old lady's biological son after all, and he must know what his mother likes.
Gu Yuan still asked without giving up: "Old lady, does the hairpin that Captain Li gave you have any special function?"
"No, it's just an ordinary hairpin."
Gu Yuan said "Oh" and patted his knees with both hands.
He didn't think much about it, he just thought that the old lady called him over just to confirm who had prepared the gift.
However, judging from the tone and demeanor of the old lady's words, she actually already had the answer in her heart.
But what Gu Yuan didn't expect was that the old lady suddenly said: "Li Siming asked you to come to the capital, didn't you explain anything?"
Gu Yuan shook his head.
"Captain Li...should I explain anything?"
The old lady did not answer, but closed her eyes and began to think.
Gu Yuan curled his lips next to him.
"Old lady, if you have anything to say, just tell me. It's still appetizing."
The old lady suddenly opened her eyes, a gleam of light bloomed in her eyes. She stared at Gu Yuan for a while and sneered.
"When Li Siming was three months old, I accidentally fell while holding him."
"Ah?" Gu Yuan suddenly couldn't follow the way the other person spoke.
"I think it must have been that Li Siming's head was broken at that time. Otherwise, how could he let you come?" the old lady said angrily.
Gu Yuan: "..."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go." The old lady waved her hand.
Gu Yuan looked depressed and wanted to say something, but the old lady closed her eyes again, as if she had fallen asleep. This was the "no chat sign" she had put up.
He stood up and walked out of the side courtyard. About two minutes later, Butler Liang walked in.
"Old madam, have you told him?"
"No." The old lady shook her head.
"Huh?" Butler Liang was a little surprised, "Isn't it him?"
"Since Li Siming asked him to come, he has already made his choice." The old lady said.
Butler Liang was even more puzzled: "If that's the case, then why are you hesitating?"
The old lady sighed and said softly: "I just feel that this child is not suitable. He is too out of touch."
"Huh?" Butler Liang was slightly startled. He looked towards the door, his eyes a little complicated and thoughtful.
…
The congratulatory gift has been delivered, and Gu Yuan's mission has naturally been completed.
He did not intend to stay at Li's house, but walked directly towards the gate.
I originally thought that Li Siming had other purposes for arranging for him to come to the capital, but now it seems that this is not the case. He also met the old lady of the Li family, who was confused and didn't say anything about it. On the contrary, it made Gu Yuan feel that the other party was pretending to be mysterious.
He is not the kind of person who is particularly curious, otherwise he would not have even given out the gift prepared by Li Siming without knowing what was inside.
And the capital is also a dangerous place for him.
Now that Li Siming's instructions have been fulfilled and the task has been completed, there is no need for him to stay in the land of right and wrong to avoid long nights and dreams.
Standing at the door of the Li family compound, I waited for a long time but couldn't wait for a taxi.
He pinched his waist, raised his head and looked at the sky, and suddenly understood.
I'm afraid not many people who came out of the Li Family Courtyard needed to take a taxi.
Following the direction he came from, Gu Yuan started to move his legs, preparing to walk to a place where he could easily take a taxi.
During the walk, Gu Yuan also felt a little regretful. He came to Li's house and didn't even take a bite of the table, not to mention ordering some cigarettes and wine.
It just plays the role of courier perfectly.
After walking for about five minutes, a whistle suddenly sounded behind me.
Gu Yuan stopped and turned around to look in the direction behind him. A black Bentley slowly drove over. When it was alongside Gu Yuan, the car in the back also lowered, revealing that annoying face. .
"My friend, do you want me to give you a ride?" Ling Hongbo asked enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
