For the first time, she smiled openly and looked at Zuo Li intently: "It seems that Mrs. Gu has the same potential as you said. Not everyone knows the English word sin."
Zuo Li suddenly felt that she was pretending. Her English vocabulary was really not enough.
She secretly made up her mind to put learning English on her agenda.
It shouldn't be too difficult, right?
should……
Zuo Li sat down on the small sofa in the study room, holding an English dictionary of the boss in his hand.
As I looked through it, my little face wrinkled.
So difficult!
aband,aband,aband……
Zuo Li was memorizing the words, but couldn't help but look at Gu Feichen, and found that he seemed to be searching for something.
She stood up and walked over: "Why, Mr. Gu, is something missing?"
"I can't find a pen." Gu Feichen rubbed his forehead, obviously distressed, "I'm used to using that pen, and..."
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "That was given to me by Ji Xing."
A gift from Gu Jixing!
Then this pen has a very different meaning.
"Could it be taken to the steel rolling mill?"
"It's possible." Even though he said this, his frown still showed that the possibility of being taken to the steel rolling mill was very small.
Was that taken by someone?
"Who usually cleans your study, Mr. Gu?"
"It's Aunt Liu. She used to do this for me in Beijing."
The implication is that Aunt Liu will not take it.
Zuo Li also believed in Aunt Liu's character, "Who else would enter this study?"
"All three of them can come in, and they don't lock the door on weekdays."
"It may be that one of them took it accidentally, and they may not have noticed it."
"Well, maybe."
When we had dinner that day, the three of us were all together.
Gu Feichen asked about this matter casually.
He didn't care much about a pen. If it wasn't a gift from Gu Jixing, it would just be lost.
Neither Gu Yuanzheng nor Gu Suiyang spoke.
Gu Yuan was just because he was sure that he had not touched Gu Feichen's desk.
Gu Suiyang was more direct. He had been here for more than a month and had never entered his father's study, so he didn't know what kind of pen he was writing.
Gu Jixing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zuo Li quickly, and said to Gu Fei seriously:
"I took it that day, and then I seemed to put it on the coffee table in the living room. Then I saw it was not on the coffee table, so I thought I had put it back. Is it really not there in the study?"
Gu Fei hummed and asked the servant to search for it on the coffee table, but couldn't find it.
Gu Feichen was not too anxious: "Probably at the steel rolling mill."
"Not necessarily, Dad. Speaking of which, I remember that Aunt Zuo's sister came that day."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Jixing.
He was not in a hurry, he held his face with his ivory white hands, and the small mole just touched the small mole under his right eye, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth lazily:
"Don't look at me like that. I just told what I know. I didn't say that it was Aunt Zuo's sister who took the pen. Anyone who comes to Aunt Zuo's house can't be a thief..."
"That's enough!" Gu Feichen raised his voice and looked at his second son warningly.
When Gu Jixing saw this, the smile on his face froze slightly, and his eyebrows were lowered, hiding the hostility in them.
Are you just protecting it like this?
I used to know how to hide it, but now my preference is unabashed!
Dad, have you really forgotten your mother?!
Gu Yuanzheng raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Feichen and Gu Suiyang. His usually cold face now had a slight frown on his face, looking worried.
He doesn't like family quarrels very much. He thinks it is a waste of time, energy and unnecessary.
As for Gu Suiyang, he held his forehead and felt a little irritated. His second brother wanted to cause trouble for his stepmother again.
But when he remembered the words "it has to be her", he glanced at his second brother with sympathy.
His second brother couldn't bring trouble to his stepmother, because his father's heart was biased.
Zuo Li, who was being picked on, was not that angry. She is now top-notch in cultivating qi.
She patted Gu Feichen's arm next to her to signal him not to lose her temper, and then said:
"What Ji Xing said makes sense. I will ask Captain Zhao to pick up my sister tomorrow and I will ask her questions myself."
Gu Jixing chuckled, raised his eyelids, and glanced at Zuo Li without emotion: "This is naturally good."
The atmosphere at the dinner table calmed down, and there was silence for a moment.
Zuo Li went to wash up and came back. Aunt Liu came over and said with some worry: "Madam, sir, the second young master has been called into the yard. Will they get into a fight?"
Zuo Li sighed. Seeing Aunt Liu's pleading eyes, she knew that she thought the father and son would quarrel because of her.
Judging from Zuo Li's understanding of Gu Feichen, this would definitely not be the case.
Although he has a normal relationship with several children, he does not understand the way of getting along with parents and children at all.
But after all, she was worried about an accident. By then, Gu Jixing might hate her even more.
When Zuo Li went out, she happened to see Gu Jixing walking in. When he found her, he subconsciously showed a hypocritical smile.
But the smile soon froze, as if he had just realized it at this moment. Now he no longer had to pretend in front of her.
Then he gave Zuo Li a cold look, passed her and went upstairs.
As he passed by her, Zuo Li felt the coldness surrounding Gu Jixing.
Zuo Li paused, feeling bitter in his heart.
She didn't ask these children to like her much.
But is she really that evil?
In the afternoon of the next day, Zuo Li was wearing a snow-white fur coat, her hair was pulled into a bun, and her gloves and short boots were also white.
When you stand at this gate, you are like a snow doll, with icy muscles and jade bones, and a grace that is out of this world.
It's a pity that, except for the bodyguards who look around intently, no one lives in the small buildings around Gu's small building. The reason is probably due to insufficient facilities.
Soon, a car stopped at the gate, the back door opened quickly, and Zuo Tao, carrying a schoolbag, jumped out of the car.
"Wow! Zuo Li, you are so beautiful today!" The clothes Zuo Tao wore were made for her after Zuo Li designed them.
It's a red cotton coat. Not only is the color festive, but also the fashionable style makes Zuo Tao's chubby face even more adorable.
Zuo Li pinched her face and said, "Call me sister, big or small."
Zuo Tao tilted her head, her eyes were accusing Zuo Li, but she already asked her if there was anything delicious, and also wanted her to make beautiful clothes for her.
She wore this outfit to school last week, but her classmates were so envious that some even clamored to go back and wanted their parents to buy it.
Zuo Tao's little vanity was greatly satisfied.
Zuo Li pulled her inside. Because it was Sunday, except Gu Suiyang who went out to play basketball with others, Gu Yuanzheng and Gu Jixing were both there.
At this time, melodious music came from the newly decorated piano room.
But this kind of music was played by Gu Jixing.
Just listening to that music makes people feel calm, and they can't help but feel good about the person playing the piano.
Zuo Li couldn't help but frown, this second brother Gu Jixing was really a "two-faced person".
The mask on his face was welded so deeply that it seemed that disguise had become his instinct.
Although Zuo Li admired Gu Jixing, he couldn't help but worry about him.
If a person wears a mask for too long, especially if the mask is completely different from himself, he may suffer from schizophrenia.
Especially the psychological burden is even more serious.
Zuo Li suppressed the worry in his heart, looked at Zuo Tao who was eating snacks, and asked in a serious voice:
"Taozi, when you came here before, you got a pen."
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Tao froze while humming and looking for food.
Her eyes began to wander, and her voice was quite sharp: "What pen, Zuo Li, I haven't picked up a pen."
Looking at her expression, Zuo Li didn't understand anything.
For a moment, I really felt like I was angry with a naughty child.
Her hands were a little itchy, but she controlled it and said faintly: "Taozi, you saw me beating my elder brother last time. Do you want to be beaten by me too?"
Zuo Tao stopped eating snacks and looked at Zuo Li cautiously with a sad face.
Of course she still remembers the scene when Zuo Li showed off her power in the Zuo family last time!
During this time, Zuo Dajun and Zhao Shufen cursed her frequently.
However, they only dare to curse a few words. No matter how much they curse, they dare not do anything.
As for her eldest brother, he is much more honest now than he was before.
I go to get off work on time every day and am very hardworking.
I didn’t even bother to beat her up!
Therefore, she seemed to be as casual with Zuo Li as before, but in fact, she was already fawning over Zuo Li in her heart.
"Sister~" Zuo Tao was very skillful in adapting to the changing circumstances. She carefully pulled Zuo Li's sleeve and said,
"If I tell the truth, can you please stop hitting me?"
Her little face wrinkled into a bun, looking pitiful: "I'm afraid of pain, how about I pinch your face twice?"
"Speak quickly!" Zuo Li looked serious.
Zuo Tao shivered, and then he took out the pen from his schoolbag with a smooth movement:
"I took it. I originally wanted to sell it for money, but in the end I didn't dare!"
She still remembered Gu Jixing saying that the money exchanged for this pen could kill her.
"Sister, I was wrong! I will never dare to steal anything again, don't hit me!"
Zuo Li didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.
Speaking of being angry, Zuo Tao readily admitted it.
I'm happy to say that this kid really stole the pen.
"Peach! Taking it for yourself is stealing! Haven't your parents ever taught you this? Who did you learn this bad habit from?"
Zhao Shufen and Zuo Dajun were not good in some aspects, but they did not have the habit of being sneaky.
Ever since they were young, I have never seen them take anything that does not belong to them.
"I learned from my elder brother!" Zuo Tao's eyes rolled. In fact, she regretted it after taking away the pen that day.
She wanted to sell the pen, but how could she sell it as a child?
From that day on, she was thinking about how Zuo Li would find out how to quibble.
Now, I am very skillful at shirking the blame.
With a sad face, she pretended to cry: "Zuo Li, except this time, I have never stolen anything else. I saw my eldest brother making money without doing anything before.
So I also want to get something for nothing. Zuo Li, I really don’t dare to do it anymore and I will never learn from my elder brother again.”
Zuo Li: "...You really know how to blame others."
She was speechless for a moment by Zuo Tao's answer.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe there really is a reason for Zuo Huaguang.
She couldn't help but feel a little angry at Zuo Huaguang. She picked up the pen and snorted to Zuo Tao:
"You won't have any new clothes to wear in a year!"
"No -" Zuo Tao was heartbroken and regretted taking the pen.
Zuo Li ignored Zuo Taosheng's helpless expression. After thinking for a while, he looked at Zuo Taosheng and said:
"Tell me carefully about the situation when you were holding the pen."
…
"Knock knock"
Zuo Li knocked on the door of the piano room. The music inside seemed to be disrupted by her for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Gu Jixing didn't say anything inside, so Zuo Li opened the door and walked in.
Gu Jixing was wearing a black and white sweater, sitting upright in front of a piano, his fingers as perfect as handicrafts dancing between the black and white keys.
"You are not welcome here." Gu Jixing's indifferent eyebrows did not glance at Zuo Li, but he knew that the person coming was her.
Zuo Li walked over and stood beside him, her tone was a bit colder and colder: "Ji Xing, why did you try to lure Tao Zi to take away that pen? Isn't that a gift you gave to your father?"
"Boom——"
Gu Jixing pressed the keys heavily, making a loud sound.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Feichen pulled Zuo Li's arm fiercely, and in the next moment he flipped over. With great strength, he directly grabbed Zuo Li's hands and pressed her head towards the piano keys.
"Dong, creak, creak..." Violent and messy noises swayed in the piano room.
Zuo Li held back her exclamation. The right side of her face was now completely pressed against the piano keys, her waist was completely bent, and her posture was very difficult.
Gu Jixing bent closer to her face, forcing Zuo Li to look deep into his eyes.
There was still a smile on his face, but there was completely undisguised sarcasm and rejection in his eyes.
"Because I want you to get out of my house and out of my sight! Aunt Zuo, stepmother, Mrs. Gu, do you like this reason?"
