Chapter 173 (1/2)
No one listened to the phone for a long time, and the time has reached 9:30. According to the normal time, this time, Gu nianbin should arrive. There was a long beep from the mobile phone. Du Xiaoxian was a little flustered, but she didn't want to be seen. She laughed and said, ”maybe it's snowing. It's hard to walk. I'll come back later.”
Ah Ling took a look at Du Hua Yue and said, ”yes, the road is not easy. After all, it's at night. The road is slippery and will be late. Let's go to the house and keep warm. Let's eat and wait.”
Du Hua Yue hesitated: ”or I'd better go first. You go inside. There's no one around here. Don't come out again.”
”Brother Yue, don't go,” Du Xiaoxian said. ”There are no buses now, and there are few taxis. You can stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning.”
”Yes, don't go. The young master hasn't come back. There are only two of us left in such a big room. It's very frightening. Don't go.”
Du Huayue didn't want to live here. After listening to a Ling's words, he nodded and pushed Du Xiaoxian into the room: ”I've been out for a long time. Go out and warm up.”
A Ling put the fruit on the tea table. The three of them watched TV and ate. Du Xiaoxian looked at the big clock beside the wall from time to time. Ah Ling and Du Hua Yue looked at each other, but they didn't know how to comfort her. They had to keep silent.
On TV, there are skits. They are the new upstarts in the sketch industry in the past two years. The burden one by one shakes, which makes everyone laugh. Ah Ling and Du Huayue are completely attracted by the sketches and laugh forward and backward from time to time. Although Du Xiaoxian also stares at the TV, he is absent-minded. Suddenly, the sound of ”Bang --” shocked Du Xiaoxian, but the big bell rang. She looked up and saw that the copper pointer was pointing to eleven o'clock.
She was stunned for a moment and whispered, ”it's so late.”
A Ling looked at her, ”Xiaoxian, the weather is bad today. Maybe the young master will not come back. Don't wait for him. It's the same for us to keep up with you! ”
”He said he would come back.” Du Xiaoxian picked up the mobile phone and started to call again. This time, there was a conversation, but it was a mechanical repetition of a female voice. After a while, she said, ”I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off. Please wait a moment. Sorry，thenumberyoudailedhas，beenswitchedoff！”
”How could that happen?” Du Xiaoxian looked at Du Huayue: ”why did he turn off the power? Is something wrong on the way
”No, don't think about it,” Du said. ”Today is the new year's Eve after all. Maybe his parents left him to watch the new year together? Or maybe he's drunk too much, and they won't let him out. ”
”But he doesn't come back, why don't you call me?” Du Xiaoxian was very worried: ”he has never been like this. Something must have happened!”
”Don't worry, I'll check,” Du Huayue used his mobile phone to access the Internet, and checked whether there was any accident on the highway leading to Fenglei town? Sure enough, there was one, but it was only two cars that scraped, and it was not Gu nianbin's car.
Du Xiaoxian was relieved, ”as long as nothing happened. Maybe he really had a drink and it was hard to drive, so he didn't come back. We don't have to wait for him. ”
”Ah Ling said:” anyway, we have to watch the new year. We have to shoot at 12 o'clock. We can sleep after 12 o'clock. ”
”No problem.” Du Huayue patted Du Xiaoxian on the shoulder and said with a smile, ”if you can't make it, go to sleep now. When it's time to wake you up, don't blame us.”
”I'll stay till twelve, too.” Du Xiaoxian said to the sofa, a small body nest in, eyes blankly looking at the TV, but showed a bit lonely.
Du Huayue deliberately teased her: ”why, brother Gu can't come back, you can't sleep?”
As expected, Du Xiaoxian turned red and reached out to hit Du Huayue: ”brother a Yue, you bully people!”
”Where did I bully you?” Du Huayue said with a smile. ”You see, if elder brother Gu doesn't come back, you will be listless. My brother, who has been called by you for more than ten years, is really sad!”
”Who said I was listless,” Du Xiaoxian stood up and looked out of the window. ”Let's go out for a while. There are still a lot of fireworks.”
”Let's go. Let's go for a while. Anyway, we'll set off firecrackers for the new year.” Du Hua Yue called a Ling: ”you go with me. Let's put some together. That's good-looking.”
When Du Xiaoxian was setting off fireworks, Gu nianbin was drinking with Xia Nanze. After dinner, he wanted to leave, but he never had a chance to speak. First, Gu Guangxian and Xia Deren asked him about the company, then talked about some prospects for the future, and even talked about the buyback of Gu's Centennial building.
Fang Yaru and Mrs. Xia told him how difficult Xia Xiaowan had been in foreign countries in recent years. They only hoped that she could have a peaceful life after returning home. Mrs. Xia is more earnest and sincere, asking him to take care of Xia Xiaowan, who are close relatives and friends. Miss bin really doesn't want to have a showdown on the eve of the new year's Eve, and qianggian perfunctorily says yes.
Before he could find an excuse to go away, Gu Shanshan, Xia Nanze and Xia Xiaowan came and surrounded him. Gu Shanshan was always chirping. Xia Nanze took a cup of wine to drink with him. Maybe he borrowed wine and didn't communicate with him for several years. But Xia Xiaowan didn't speak much, but his eyes contained it Too many emotions make it hard for him to ignore. All of a sudden, he realized that this scene was aimed at him tonight. His parents knew his mind, Gu Shanshan also knew, maybe Xia Xiaowan also knew. So when he came back today, they didn't intend to let him go again. Unless he broke up and broke up unhappily, and they were sure that he would not, because today is the new year's Eve, the day of family reunion, singing and laughing, if he must fall out with his family on such a day, and do not say that it is bad to hear, his father's body alone can not make him heartless. This world not only has the love, also has the family affection, he is the most affectionate filial piety person, if is really like this, he really cannot pass own that pass.Because she was upset, she naturally drank a lot of wine, and Gu Shanshan was very clever tonight. From time to time, she leaned on him or took his arm to act coquettish. He knew she was deliberately distracting him. And his heart is really a little confused.
In the end, he was drunk. Xia Nanze and Xiao Bonian helped him to his room to have a rest. Looking at his staggering back, Gu Shanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The other party, Yaru, said, ”it's done.”
Fang Yaru shook his head: ”do you think he doesn't understand? It's just that I don't want to tear my face tonight. ”
