Gu Feiquan finished smoking the remaining cigarettes in the cigarette box on the balcony, and cigarette butts piled up at the floor.

He found a broom and dustpan from the corner, swept the cigarette butt in, and brought it to the terrace door.

Gu Yanqiu calmed down in her room for a while, and she sorted out the known clues. After being furious, she took a temporary doubtful attitude towards Gu Feiquan's words. You must know that Gu Feiquan is He Songjun's son. He Songjun is a person who thinks he can hide his emotions but is actually easily seen through at first sight. He is self-conceited and inferior. Gu Yanqiu has never regarded He Songjun as an opponent. But Gu Feiquan is different. Before entering the Gu family, Gu Feiquan has already improved in a company. In addition to his family background, his own conditions are considered superior among his peers. Even his personality has been inherited from Gu Huai, which often gives her a feeling that he doesn't know what the other party is thinking.

If Gu Huai hadn't really planned to support Gu Feiquan - Gu Huai told Gu Yanqiu like this, Gu Yanqiu would have had a more uncomfortable life in the Gu family.

What exactly did Gu Feiquan mean when she said to her on the terrace? The deceased was the most important thing, and he deliberately angered her, mostly to alienate her relationship with Gu Huai. Gu Yanqiu was willing to think about it from this aspect, but the facts were not something she could deny if she wanted to.

The time when Gu Huai and Gu Yanqiu's mother got married was determined. It was twenty-eight years ago, when Gu Feiquan was indeed born. So does her mother know that Gu Huai already had a child? Why did Gu Huai marry her mother under such circumstances? The deep love of the past few years should not be a fake.

Did Gu Huai marry He Songjun again because of guilt? Where was He Songjun when Gu Huai got married?

Gu Yanqiu pressed his temple and saw the dark sky outside the window and the shadows of the trees were hazy, as if there was a giant beast that had been dormant for a long time. He always stared at her silently, waiting for a suitable opportunity to pounce on her, pressed her to the ground, and swallowed her up all.

"I've had a meal." A knock on the door sounded outside the door, and Gu Yanqiu took his gaze back.

The one knocked on the door was the nanny of the Gu family, who had been working in her house for several years.

"Here you come."

When Gu Yanqiu opened the door, he saw her going up to the third floor, probably to call Gu Feiquan. Gu Yanqiu looked up at the stairs, heard Gu Feiquan's voice coming out of the upper floor and then raised his feet downstairs.

Gu Huai and He Songjun had already sat at the dining table. Gu Yanqiu had another rift towards him because of what Gu Huai said just now and sat far away from him. Gu Huai sighed in his heart when he saw this. Gu Feiquan and his mother were the same. By chance, they sat a lot closer.

But the two of them had no eye contact. The aunt brought a few plates of lobsters and placed them in front of the four. Gu Huai said, "Let's have dinner."

He Songjun pinched a lobster with his gloves, broke off the tongs, put it in a plain dish, and flexibly peeled out a complete shrimp meat with his fingers, dipped it in vinegar, raised his hand up, and stopped halfway, and placed it on the plate in front of Gu Huai.

When Gu Huai was eating, the nasolabial folds on both sides of his lips became more and more profound.

He Songjun peeled another one for his son. When Gu Feiquan lowered his head, he glanced over Gu Yanqiu casually. The other party absent-mindedly removed the shrimp shell with chopsticks. The shrimp shell was wrapped tightly, and it took him a long time to peel out a complete one.

In the past, Gu Huai peeled it for her, and looking at the scene in front of her, it was really hard for her to swallow it.

Suddenly there was a piece of white and plump shrimp meat in front of me.

Gu Yanqiu raised his eyes, Gu Huai wore a pair of disposable gloves on his hand, and looked at her gently: "Eat it."

Gu Feiquan tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, focusing on not seeing anything other than the acre of three-point land in front of him.

"Feiquan, you eat too."

Gu Huai also peeled one for Gu Feiquan equally.

He didn't even forget He Songjun.

To the outside world, this seemed to be a harmonious family of four, but the people in it knew how strange the situation was. Gu Yanqiu put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'm full, you can use it slowly."

She nodded to the three presents and turned to the stairs.

The shrimp meat didn't move at all.

He Songjun pretended to be worried and said, "What's wrong with Yanqiu? How can you not eat? Aunt Zhang, please send some food to Yanqiu's room as soon as possible."

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Huai but didn't move.

He Songjun couldn't help but feel resentful. In this family, she just looked like the mistress of the house. In fact, the servants in the family, including the aunt who cooks for their family, never regarded her as the master!

Gu Huai shook his head and said, "Let her go. Put away this plate of lobsters. If she goes downstairs later, then heat it up for her to eat."

Aunt Zhang: "Okay."

After saying that, he removed the lobster from Gu Yanqiu's seat.

"Flying Quan."

"Dad." Gu Feiquan raised his head.

"Are you doing your job smoothly now?"

"So easy, there are two projects that are coming to an end, and there are new projects under discussion now." Gu Feiquan said that his work spirit was different, and he wanted to continue talking, but Gu Huai's expression did not seem to be about to have a long talk with him.

Gu Feiquan observed his expression and asked, "Dad has any instructions?"

Gu Huai asked him: "Would you like to go to the headquarters?"

Gu Feiquan slowly frowned: "This..." He, the boss of the branch, had just gotten on the right track and was about to show his skills, but why was he suddenly transferred to the headquarters again?

He Songjun and Gu Feiquan were far away and could not do anything under the table, so they winked at him from an invisible angle: Please agree quickly and agree quickly.

A trace of doubt flashed through Gu Feiquan's heart and replied: "I want to finish these two projects that are about to end. This is what I personally run for. The partner only recognizes me. It will take some time to hand over other things."

"How long does it take?"

"At least one month."

"good."

The conversation between the father and son was simple and full of strangeness. He Songjun's eyelids were almost blinking, and Gu Feiquan didn't look at her again.

After dinner, He Songjun went to Gu Feiquan's room and splashed with foam, which made him scold him in a scattered manner.

"Are you blinded by lard? Or are you so confused at a young age? Your dad asked you to go to the headquarters, and you will have to delay it for another month. What if he regrets it? What if your attitude makes him unhappy?"

He Songjun poked his forehead with his finger, "You, you will be angry to death sooner or later."

Gu Feiquan explained to her as if he had fulfilled his obligations, and his tone did not fluctuate at all: "Didn't I tell the reason at the dinner table? The project I had not finished, and the bosses of the two projects only recognized me alone, and it would not work for others. What should you do if you want me? No matter what the project you have worked hard for nearly half a year, just go to the head office like this? The quarterly financial report that will be submitted will be unsightly and the head office will demote me, and you will be happy?"

Gu Feiquan said: "Gu Huai is a businessman. No businessman does not value interests. If I don't give him my value, will he still use me?" Gu Feiquan said in his heart: Do you think he is the foolish monarch of ancient times? Because if you pamper a woman, you will make her child the prince. Even so, you can't be the one who is pampered.

But I can't say this, and if He Songjun says it, he has to slap him in the face.

Gu Feiquan said: "Mom, can you not come up and scold me every time you are indiscriminate? It is natural for me to do this. I am not a child anymore, I have a sense of responsibility."

He Songjun mostly understood it, but she was in a disadvantage, but she would never let her son overshadow her in anger, and said in a slight way: "I am your mother, what's wrong with me teaching you a lesson?"

……here we go again.

Gu Feiquan apologized to her and coaxed the person away. He lay on the bed and thought about what Gu Huai's purpose of transferring him to the headquarters and what position he would give him.

***

The cat in the garden squatted in the shadow of the tree, making a slight meow.

Gu Yanqiu looked at the shadow in the dark through the screen window, and suddenly knocked on the door. She turned her head and looked at the door and asked, "Who?"

"I." It's Gu Huai.

Gu Yanqiu got up and went to open the door, looked downstairs again, and the stray cat, who came from unknown places, disappeared.

As soon as he opened the door, Gu Yanqiu smelled a familiar scent. Gu Huai held the plate of big lobsters that she had almost moved at night with both hands, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't you let me in?"

Gu Yanqiu moved away from the position, Gu Huai put the lobster on the table, pulled a stool, put it on the stool, sat on the ground, and said to Gu Yanqiu: "Come here, Dad will peel the lobster for you, but I haven't seen you at night, how can you eat it."

Gu Yanqiu hesitated for a moment and sat down.

Gu Yanqiu doesn't like to be jealous or dip it in strange sauce. Gu Huai didn't wear gloves and disassembled the lobster shells for her with bare hands. He was skillful in craftsmanship and peeled out a complete one in just a few seconds. Gu Yanqiu wanted to pick it up with his hands, but Gu Huai avoided her hands and delivered it directly to her mouth.

"Why did you see outsiders at this time? Are you separated from your father?"

While Gu Yanqiu grabbed the lobster, he bit Gu Huai's finger and stared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes.

Gu Huai showed a memory look and smiled, "Your eyes are exactly the same as when I was a child when I confiscated all your candy."

"You have a new wife and son now, why do you have to come to me?" No matter how hard Gu Yanqiu could bear it, Gu Huai couldn't help but show his resentment in front of him. "Sometimes you make me feel that you haven't changed, but sometimes you feel very strange."

Gu Huai lowered his eyes and continued to remove the shrimp thread for her with his fingers that were bitten out of teeth. "What you see in your eyes is like. The Gu family will always be your home, and I will always be your father."

I have never changed to you and your mother.

"Why did you marry He Songjun and welcome her son?" Gu Yanqiu didn't remember how many times she asked this question. Every time, every time, Gu Huai answered silently.

"Did my mom know that you had a child before getting married to you? Why did you lie to her if you don't know, and why would she promise you if she knew?"

"Gu Feiquan said that my mother is a mistress." When Gu Yanqiu said the last two ugly words, he spent a lot of effort and slowed down. He asked Gu Huai in a cold tone, "Is she?"

The loose muscles on Gu Huai's face trembled. He raised his eyes and finally stopped silent. He denied fiercely: "She is not!"

"What is that?"

After a brief loss of composure, Gu Huai came back and said, "Eat the lobster first, otherwise you will go hungry at night."

"Will you say it after you finish eating?"

"Um."

Gu Yanqiu got it himself.

The father and daughter went to the bathroom to wash their hands. Gu Yanqiu couldn't wait to say, "You can say it."

"I'll pack up the plate."

Gu Yanqiu followed him step by step, as if he was afraid that Gu Huai would run away. Gu Huai slowly wiped the stool stained with lobster soup and went downstairs to clean the dining plate.

Finally, he called Gu Yanqiu into the study, and Gu Yanqiu learned the truth from Gu Huai's mouth thirty years ago.

"Thirty-one, thirty-two years ago, I was still a senior student. When I was about to graduate, I met Feiquan's mother. She confessed to me that she was my junior sister from the same school. I was young at that time, and I always had wildfires in my heart and had no emotional experience. As soon as I confessed, I agreed. At the beginning, I did have a good life. Feiquan's mother was gentle and obedient. I thought this should be the case in my life. I would marry her, have children, and live my life."

Gu Huai told a clichéd story, which was both real and absurd.

After graduation, Gu Huai joined the entrepreneurial tide with several buddies. As his good friend, He Songjun has been supporting him in the rear. Both of them thought that this would be the ending. He Songjun just waited for him to marry her after graduation. Gu Huai would marry her in a grand manner. People's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Just when He Songjun was in his senior year, Gu Huai met Gu Yanqiu's mother.

"She is so beautiful that all men who see her are fascinated by it. At that time, she was like you now. She was wearing a string of Buddhist beads in her hands all year round, looking at people lightly and speaking lightly, as if she was hiding a very long story, which made people want to understand her."
