Chapter 246 is back
Beating up the two mothers in the kindergarten in front of other parents, Gu Jia didn't feel at ease. In her opinion, it would be considered light to dare to hurt her children and beat them like that.
As for them calling the police? revenge?
Heh~ Gu Jia is not afraid.
Ever since she picked up Mrs. Wang's line, she has inquired a lot about the internal filth of the parent committee, so after beating the two of them, she threatened them with kickbacks and selfishness on the spot. , the two dared not say anything.
On the way back, Xu Ziyan, who was tired from crying, fell asleep in Gu Jia's arms. Gu Jia tiptoed him back to the bedroom, and only when he walked out of the living room did he see Xizhu on the sofa.
"Sorry, Xiao Xizhu, did you scare you just now?" Gu Jia squatted down and said softly, "Let's go and see the room that Auntie gave you first? Time is in a hurry, and there are many things that I haven't bought in time. , see what kind of dolls and decorations you like, let's go shopping together tomorrow, how about it?"
Are you putting it here to coax the children?
Xizhu rolled his eyes at Gu Jia, put his hands together, and stepped on the ground with his feet dangling on the sofa, "I am very satisfied with your direct complaint just now."
Seeing Xizhu hugging her shoulders and holding her head high, Gu Jia couldn't help laughing. She reached out to touch Xizhu's head, but she stared back at her again.
Putting down her arms embarrassingly, Gu Jia smiled and said, "It's not good to fight, Xiao Xizhu can't learn from Auntie~"
While talking, Xu Huanshan, who was carrying a sports bag, came back from the outside. Seeing Gu Jia talking to a little girl, he was taken aback for a moment, and then recovered.
"Honey, are you back?"
"Wife, I'm back." The two have been married for so many years anyway, just based on Gu Jia's words, Xu Huanshan could see that there was something wrong with her mood, but because of the presence of others, Xu Huanshan did not face to face After asking, he looked at the little girl next to him and said with a smile, "This little girl is the little Xizhu you and Xiaoqin mentioned, right?"
"Yes, Xiaoqin's place is a bit inconvenient for the time being, so I want to ask us to take care of it for a few days."
Because it was too late, Gu Jia gave Xu Huanshan a brief introduction to Xizhu's situation.
Xizhu originally wanted to use the power of the red umbrella to influence Xu Huanshan's thinking, but before she could do it, Xu Huanshan agreed without hesitation.
Are you just so clueless and listening to your wife? The male version of Zhong Xiaoqin?
Xizhu was speechless for a while.
However, she didn't get along with Gu Jia very much, and it was the first time she met Xu Huanshan today, so she didn't understand the way the couple got along. Just based on their conversation just now, she could only see his affection for her. A strong wife with unconditional trust.
"Are you all right?"
Backing to the living room, Xu Huanshan poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Jia, looked him up and down, and said worriedly.
"It's okay." Gu Jiaqiang smiled, shook his head, took the cup from him, but Xu Huanshan saw the wound on his hand.
"What's wrong with your hand? How did you get hurt?" Xu Huanshan frowned slightly, and Gu Jia also noticed the scratched wound on the back of his hand. He turned left and right to look at the back of his hand, and said expressionlessly, "I accidentally scratched it just now."
"I'll go and rub some medicine for you." Seeing that Gu Jia didn't want to say more, Xu Huanshan didn't ask any more questions, took out the medicine box from under the table, and while treating her wound, he urged, "It's a thousand days in the past two days. Don't get in the water, it's easy to get infected."
Gu Jia's gloomy expression eased a little, looking at Xu Huanshan who was treating his wound, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to cooperate with Lao Wan, we will abandon him, but there is something I want to discuss with you."
Xu Huanshan stopped applying the medicine and looked up at Gu Jia.
Gu Jia said seriously: "Pledge our house to the bank as your legal person's assets. The bank's loan can temporarily relieve the pressure caused by the company's capital chain break."
Xu Huanshan's heart was pounding, and his expression was a bit embarrassed, "Are you going to mortgage the house?"
"The company's current accounts are only enough to pay employees' salaries for one month. We have to find a way to develop other new customers." Gu Jia said in a deep voice.
"Then if the loan is not repaid." Xu Huanshan frowned.
"The bank has the right to take over the house." Gu Jia nodded towards Xu Huanshan, indicating that she was not joking, seeing the uneasiness in Xu Huanshan's eyes, Gu Jia smiled and comforted: "It's okay, husband, I think it's A crisis is also a turning point, too stable will make people relax, maybe the company can bring new breakthroughs and make a turnaround?"
But I hope for stability and not crisis!
Xu Huanshan had mixed feelings in his heart.
He was originally just a standard science and engineering man, and he met Gu Jia because of the fireworks show in the 2008 Olympic Games. status today.
He is very grateful to Gu Jia and hopes to bring Gu Jia a happy and stable life.
But this woman is too eager to make progress.
When he was the chief fireworks designer, he was persuaded to quit his job and start his own fireworks company.
Working hard for several years, the two started from scratch, and finally bought a house of more than 100 square meters in Shanghai, and they have truly gained a firm foothold in the middle class.
As soon as she gained a firm footing, Gu Jia decided to sell her previous house and take out a loan to live in Grand Hyatt Mansion.
In Xu Huanshan's own opinion, their family doesn't have to work so hard at all. Living in the previous house with their annual income of two to three million is enough to live comfortably.
He couldn't see what the so-called aristocratic kindergarten could bring to children, nor could he see why Gu Jia had to let their children go abroad.
But he dared not tell Gu Jia all this.
Because he felt that he owed the other party.
After being pregnant with Xu Ziyan, Gu Jia gave up her career and returned to her family, becoming a full-time mother. Xu Huanshan saw the hard work every day. In addition, when the two got married, Xu Huanshan had promised her, We must let Gu Jia live the best life.
Until Gu Jia is satisfied with her current life, Xu Huanshan dare not slack off in the slightest.
You want better, then I will accompany you to achieve it.
After a moment of silence, Xu Huanshan looked up at Gu Jia, and said softly, "I'll listen to you."
"It's okay, let's get through it together." A touch of emotion flashed in Gu Jia's eyes, and she smiled, "Don't worry about the company's affairs, I will find a way."
Xu Huanshan held Gu Jia's shoulders, looked at the night sky outside the window, and remained silent.
A graceful, cold and proud woman stepped out of a dense group of vines.
From the entrance to the bedroom, and then from the bedroom to the balcony, high heels stepped on the floor, making a clear and crisp sound.
Si Teng was lying on one side of the bed, his eyes as clear as water were quietly looking at the other half who was empty.
whispered goodnight, and slowly closed his eyes.
In his sleep, Zhou Ji looked at Si Teng who was close at hand, as if returning to the time when he just met her, the familiar fragrance of plants and trees lingered on the tip of his nose.
Under her surprised gaze, Zhou Ji stepped forward to wrap her arms around her waist, embraced her, and kissed her deeply.
After a long time, my lips parted.
Reunion after a long absence, not seen for a thousand years, until a ray of sunlight fell on the bedside, awakening the sleeping two.
The twelfth floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion.
Warm sunlight entered the room, Xizhu lazily sat up from the princess bed.
She sneaked into Zhou Ji's room last night and didn't return until it was almost dawn. She was stunned for a while. The dream of last night was vivid in her memory. Xizhu lightly touched the corner of her lips with her fingertips, but she let go in disappointment. down.
It really was a dream, I woke up without trace.
Voices could be heard vaguely from the living room, and the voice of one of them seemed very familiar. Xizhu opened the door in surprise, and saw the figure who was helping Gu Jia arrange the dishes at a glance, feeling helpless and wanting to laugh.
"Xiao Xizhu, are you awake? Go wash up and get ready for dinner~" Zhong Xiaoqin saw the little one standing at the corner of the living room, and showed a silly and sweet smile.
"How did you come?"
At the dining table, Xizhu took the milk from Zhong Xiaoqin, Zhong Xiaoqin said triumphantly: "Gu Jia is my girlfriend, why can't I come? Right Gu Jia~"
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiaoqin is right in everything." Looking at the silly girl in front of her, Gu Jia shook her head helplessly, "Did you quarrel with Teacher Chen like this at home?"
To be honest, she is quite envious of Zhong Xiaoqin, who is thirty years old and still maintains the innocence that young people may not have.
But envy is envy, she doesn't want to be like Zhong Xiaoqin, everyone has their own way of life, she likes Zhong Xiaoqin's innocence, and yearns for the power in the wife circle.
"Hey~" Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smirk, "I quarreled with Chen Yu, but it is true that the communication between the two of us has increased. Our family used to have no voice, but now we at least care about each other."
"Did you eat or not~ Or buy something for the baby, think about the decorations at home, even quarreling is a kind of communication~" Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Xizhu with a grateful face, clasped her hands together , "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Xiao Xizhu for all of this~~ If it weren't for her, I would be so stupid that I would never know that Chen Yu had done so many things in silence."
Xizhu frowned, and gave Zhong Xiaoqin a white look, "It's good to know."
After breakfast, Zhong Xiaoqin checked the time, hurriedly went to the property department to clock in for work, Gu Jia packed the dishes, and the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Mrs. Wang? Hmm~ It's me, Gu Jia."
Nishitake's eyes shifted from the TV to look at Gu Jia who looked surprised. Even if she didn't deliberately eavesdrop, she still captured keywords such as 'silk', 'satin', 'cheongsam' and 'handwork'.
Putting away the phone with a joyful face, Gu Jia turned around, almost startled by Xizhu's bright eyes.
Well. Adjective.
If it's normal, it doesn't matter.
But this is the first time Mrs. Wang has invited her to a party in the wife's circle. It would be inappropriate if she brought a little tail.
Gu Jia pretended not to see the undisguised eagerness in Xizhu's eyes, and persuaded, "Xiao Xizhu, I have something to do this morning, so I may not be able to play with you. You can watch TV at home alone, is it okay?"
Xizhu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, and did not use the power of the red umbrella to forcibly influence Gu Jia.
You can go to customize cheongsams anytime, there is no need to follow Gu Jia to see them ganging up to waste the fabric.
Seeing that Xizhu didn't pester her to follow, Gu Jia was slightly relieved, but when she went out, she didn't notice a tiny vine thread getting into her bag at all.
In an elegant and quiet garden in the urban area of Shanghai, Mrs. Wang led Gu Jia to introduce the wives who attended the party.
This group of wives often hold gatherings in turn. Some families have solid business background, but they can't stand the market decline. Some send their children to study at Oxford University. A young actor from a wealthy family, her husband is older than her father.
In short, a group of weirdos who depend on their family assets.
This is Gu Jia's intuitive feeling when attending a party. Although she has always been independent and confident, she compliments them on the surface, but in her heart she looks down on these so-called wives.
However, what she has never thought about is, what is the purpose of the existence of a circle of wives that is not supported by common interests and maintained by intimacy? Comparing? show off? Or do you get all kinds of yin and yang weirdness when you meet?
Would a family with a rich background of three generations be so superficial? They look down on each other like this every day, why do they have to get together to disgust themselves?
These wives are just the epitome of the people behind them. What they maintain is actually the interests of their husbands' connections.
Just like when she thought that she could enter the noble kindergarten as long as she found all the application materials, Gu Jia, who had been out of touch with society for too long, only saw the most superficial layer. It wasn't until the party was over and she was sitting in the car that she discovered the status of the circle of friends. The wife took a photo and completely cut off the corners of her.
Without knowing it, she thought that the 70,000 to 80,000 bags she was carrying had lost her worth, so she made several phone calls to several luxury stores she knew, wanting to buy the latest satchel as a ' A stepping stone to gain the approval of Mrs. Circle.
Back home, Gu Jia was still on the phone, but the most expensive shops she knew were only a few hundred thousand, and the ladies who attended the party all brought shoulder bags worth more than one million. Gu Jia, who was full of confidence, felt unspeakably inferior.
Xizhu's wrist turned, and with a retraction of his fingertips, a wisp of vine thread was retracted from Gu Jia's bag into Xizhu's palm. He glanced at Gu Jia who was flipping through the address book, feeling inexplicably amused by her childishness.
Xizhu shook his head, suddenly felt something, turned around abruptly, and looked out the door with an inexplicable expression.
The elevator goes up and stops on the seventeenth floor.
Zhou Ji opened the door, and suddenly smelled a faint scent, his eyes suddenly lit up, Zhou Ji walked into the living room quickly, looked around, and saw no trace of anyone coming, followed the scent to the bedroom , One side of the bed is slightly messy and the other side is flat and intact.
