In the afternoon, at NTN, the discussion about the ‘maritime transportation control’ project went smoothly, so the entire meeting ended in less than two hours.

Originally, Gu Shao was invited to an exchange meeting later.

However, looking at the appearance that Gu Xi was already absent-minded, Gu Shao finally turned down the other party's invitation and returned home with Gu Xi.

——

Back home, Gu Xi had forgotten, but saw Gu Shao hand her a very delicate box.

"What is this?" Gu Xi's eyes lit up while looking at the box.

"The reward for this competition." Gu Shao said.

Obviously, this reward should have been prepared by Gu Shao in advance. Just looking at the box is so good-looking, it is quite expectant.

Gu Xi took the box from Gu Shao's hand and opened it-what caught my eye was a very beautiful hairpin, a small one, but very delicate, it looked simple, but it made people shine.

And this card is the same color as the school uniform Gu Xi usually wears.

——It seems to look good.

Gu Xi muttered, took out the hairpin from the box with some surprise, and looked over and over again.

Gu Shao on the side looked at the appearance of Gu Xi holding the hairpin to the left and right, and his expression was as usual.

However, if you look closely, you will find that Gu Shao's eyes are actually full of tension at this time.

——Speaking of which, this is the first time Gu Shao has bought small things for his daughters.

The card issuance is customized, but the style and color are chosen and determined by Gu Shao.

Gu Shao has never studied what a girl at this age likes and what is suitable, so Gu Shao has no idea whether Gu Xi likes it or not.

However, Gu Xi obviously didn't realize Gu Shao's nervousness. After taking a fresh look at the hairpin, Gu Xi carefully put the things back in the box, and then grinned at Gu Shao while holding the box. Thank you dad!"

Seeing the smile on Gu Xi's face, the expression on Gu Shao's face softened a bit.

only……

How do you feel that the girl's joy at receiving the gift is completely different from the way she looked when she got the money?

Gu Shao said inwardly.

He was sure that if he received cash at the same price as the card issued, Gu Xi would definitely jump up happily.

"Don't like it?" Gu Shao asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi immediately shook her head: "No, I really like it!"

But it would be better if it could be discounted...

Gu Xi whispered quietly in her heart.

However, she did not dare to tell Gu Shao this sentence.

Then, looking at Gu Shao, Gu Xi suddenly smiled wryly, and said: "Um, Dad, can you give me another reward."

"..." Not asking for money again.

Gu Shao's temple jumped, and he thought to himself.

Fortunately, this time, Gu Xi's request was not money.

"I want to go to NTN." Gu Xi said.

She has specifically learned that the ‘Young Creative Competition’ itself is a youth event that NTN focuses on. Participants of several previous sessions even got an opportunity to study at NTN directly after the competition.

Gu Xi also wants to go, and it would be even better if he could enter the talent training reserve list of NTN.

Gu Shao didn't know that all Gu Xi's current efforts are to enter NTN with seriousness and participate in the NTN security system project in the future. Therefore, when Gu Xi said that, Gu Shao was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled calmly in the next second.

"Yes," Gu Shao said, raised his hand and rubbed the top of Gu Xi's head, and said, "I will take you on holiday."

When Gu Xi was on vacation, it was not impossible to take her to work at the center.

Gu Shao said in his heart.

Thinking of what, Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi seriously again.

"Do you care about that Lisa?" Gu Shao asked. Although it is an interrogative sentence, it has a declarative tone.

Hearing Gu Shao's sudden question, Gu Xi was stunned.

"No..." Gu Xi retorted subconsciously.

But when I think about it carefully, she seems to be a little too concerned about Lin Yize's white moonlight, no wonder Gu Shao finds it weird.

"Actually, I don't really care..." Gu Xi whispered, lowering her head subconsciously, and then said: "It's that Aunt Lisa, who feels a bit like Song, er, like my mother, so I just watched it more."

"I just think it's a little bit magical, how could it be so similar." Gu Xi added, trying to understate her attention.

Gu Xi explained it simply, but Gu Shao took her words to heart.

——So, Gu Xi is watching Song Kexin through Lisa, right?

Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi, his eyes moved slightly.

He remembered an article he saw a while ago, which mentioned: How important is the role of mother in the growth of children.

So, in any case, as a child, Gu Xi always has some expectations for his biological mother, right?

It's a pity that Gu Shao can give Gu Xi all the best, except for this.

"Miss your mother?" Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi and asked seriously.

As if he heard a trace of tension and apology in Gu Shao's tone, Gu Xi shook her head quickly and denied: "No."

As if to prove that she did not lie, Gu Xi once again emphasized: "I don't miss her at all."

This is not a lie, nor is it to make Gu Shao relieved.

What Gu Xi said is true: if it were before, she might really expect Song Kexin to care about occasionally, but after being sent to Zhang Qiang’s house and being transferred out of her household registration, and after knowing the plot of the following novel , Gu Xi won't.

She has no expectations for Song Kexin.

The reason why Gu Xi still cares about Lin's affairs is also because of the plot.

Thinking of the following plot, the look on Gu Xi's face suddenly became tense.

"Dad." Gu Xi looked at Gu Shao and subconsciously pulled the other's sleeve.

"What?" Perceiving Gu Xi's nervousness, Gu Shao slowed down.

Gu Xi wanted to remind Gu Shao to be careful of Lin Yize, and said: "That Lin Yize is not a good person, he has a lot of bad thoughts behind him, and I feel that he wants to harm us."

Hearing Gu Xi's evaluation of Lin Yize, Gu Shao was not surprised, but frowned slightly, looking at Gu Xi and saying, "These are adults' business."

As a child, Gu Xi shouldn't worry about these things.

But Gu Sha was worried that Gu Shao didn’t take what she said to her heart, and the hand holding Gu Shao’s sleeve tightened again. She said anxiously, “Really, if you don’t believe Dad, you can check it out. He really does it. A lot of bad things have happened.” Perhaps many of them are aimed at Gu's family.

"Furthermore..." Gritting his teeth, Gu Xi said again: "I still often have a dream. In the dream, Lin Yize's power will become very powerful, and then he will come to harm Grandpa and the others, and will harm our family! He will use some more. Nothing at all is framing you! It will also harm me..."

Looking at the girl who kept talking in front of him, Gu Shao's eyes deepened little by little, and the look on his face became more serious.

Dreams, foreseeing the future, plot...... Gu Shao would not believe these mysterious things, but he believed that Gu Xi would not lie.

Therefore, the dream Gu Xi said must be something she had truly dreamed of.

As for the reason, Gu Shao thinks that his experience in the Lin family and his impressions of Lin Yize and Song Kexin have left a deep psychological shadow in Gu Xi's heart. Therefore, Gu Xi would have such a dream.

Gu Shao didn't tell Gu Xi that since he found the Lin Family following Gu Yaobai's actions, he had doubted the Lin Family and had been sending people to pay attention to Lin Yize's actions.

Seeing Gu Xi's look worried and scared, Gu Shao assured her: "I will investigate the Lin family, and I will be prepared for Lin Yize, don't worry."

"Yeah," Gu Xi nodded: "Then you have to arrange more people to stare at him."

"it is good."

Gu Shao nodded seriously, seeing that Gu Xi's emotions seemed to calm down, and then he spoke again.

"Now, tell me something," Gu Shao looked at Gu Xi, trying to calm down his tone as much as possible, and then asked, "Before in the Lin family, or say, Lin Yize, have you done anything bad to you?"

Gu Xi's rejection and defense of the Lin family, and the shadow in her heart is too deep. If she was just not cared about in the Lin family, she would not have such strong emotions and self-protection consciousness.

When Gu Shao asked this question, he felt very difficult.

But as a father, it is hard for him not to care about these.

Gu Shao's fist was secretly clenched: he was not sure what he would do when he heard what Gu Xi said in the next second.

"No..." Gu Xi shook her head, not as if she was deliberately concealing it.

"They just don't like me, and there are those you know Dad..."

As for Lin Yize, her attitude towards her is as if she was a dirty thing-when I was younger, I didn’t understand this, but simply imagined being led by "Dad" and touched by "Dad" like Lin Anxin, but every time When she approached Lin Yize, the other party waved her away with an expression of disgust.

When she was a child, Gu Xi didn't understand what that expression meant, until she was a little older, she gradually realized that Lin Yize didn't like her, and gradually stopped leaning in front of the other party.

Occasionally, when Lin Yize saw her, he would not rush to avoid her or let her go elsewhere. Instead, he would repeatedly look at her with a deliberate look.

Recalling the look in Lin Yize's eyes, Gu Xi couldn't say what it meant, but now she still feels hairy in her heart, and she can't help but shudder.

"Well, it's nothing, anyway, I don't like them either." Gu Xi raised her head, looked at Gu Shao, raised her head somewhat proudly, and hummed.

"Anyway, you have to be careful about him, and Gu Yaobai is not a good person." This is the point. So Gu Xi emphasized it again.

After emphasizing, seeing Gu Shao nodding, Gu Xi assuredly said "good night" and went back to her room.

Behind him, Gu Shao watched Gu Xi go back to the room. After a few seconds, he rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed secretly: I really don’t know if this girl feels right, or if he was treated with regret when dealing with some things. heard it.

——

On the other hand, having said all the reminders about this, Gu Xi felt relieved a lot.

After returning to the room, Gu Xi opened the box and took a look at the hairpin inside, then happily ran to the mirror holding the hairpin, and tried it several times with her head on her head.

Looking at the hairpin on her head, Gu Xi grinned. She couldn't hide the liking on her face, and her joy was much stronger than when she was in front of Gu Shao before.

After a while back and forth, Gu Xi reluctantly put the issuance card away and put it in the cabinet carefully.

Then go to bed.

Five minutes later, Gu Xi opened her eyes again. Jumped off the bed, ran to the cabinet and took out the card-issuing box again, took it to the bed, and placed it next to his pillow. Gu Xi stared at the box for a while, smiled ‘hee hee’, and then fell asleep contentedly while pressing the box with his hand.

——

Gu Shao, who was outside, went to the study.

After processing some of the documents, Gu Shao received a call from Wang Wu.

Wang Wu’s first sentence explained to Gu Shao the situation at Qiao Luo’s banquet today: "Lin Yize went to the banquet."

"In addition," after a pause, Wang Wu said again: "At the banquet, Lin Yize saw Mr. Qiao's secretary and recognized the other party."

They checked about 15 years ago and the past of Lin Yize and Song Kexin. Naturally, they did not miss the section between Lin Yize and Meng Zixin before Song Kexin.

Hearing what Wang Wu reported, Gu Shao was not too surprised, and responded indifferently, "Anything else?"

"At the banquet, when I saw Meng Zixin, Lin Yize was a bit gaffe, but he was quickly stabilized by Meng Zixin and Mr. Qiao's people on the spot, and it did not affect the banquet. After that, Lin Yize left with Meng Zixin, and the two went To a club next to the hotel..."

In the clubhouse, the content of the conversation between the two was not found by the people under them, so Wang Wu could only make a brief report.

"In the last part of the conversation, Lin Yize seemed to suggest that Meng Zixin come to him to help him, and hoped that the two would join forces to prevent the ‘transportation control’ project from proceeding."

After that, Wang Wu said with some worry: "This Meng Zixin seems to be unsafe. Sir, do you think you need to contact Mr. Qiao and change someone?"

After all, Lin Yize and Meng Zixin did have a relationship at the beginning. Although the two have not met again in these years, and Lin Yize also married Song Kexin, it is unpredictable. It is hard to say whether Meng Zixin will really miss the cooperation with Lin Yize. .

Qiao Luo attaches great importance to this assistant. At present, many domestic affairs are handled by Meng Zixin. Once Meng Zixin and Lin Yize have reached some kind of cooperation, or have a tendency towards Lin Yize, then they will be passive.

Wang Wu's consideration is not unreasonable, but Gu Shao is not so anxious.

"Don't rush to change." Gu Shao said calmly.

At present, it seems that Meng Zixin took Lin Yize away in order not to affect the banquet scene, and the process of the two people's departure Meng Zixin did not deliberately conceal it, which is also a statement.

"After that..." Wang Wu asked again.

"After that, it depends on how she chooses."

People who can be favored by Qiao Luo still have professional principles.

The most important point, in Gu Shao's opinion, this Lisa is not stupid: on the one hand, it is his own career and career, on the other hand, it is just a memory of first love in the past.

However, thinking of Gu Xi's expression of nervousness just now to make herself more prepared for Lin Yize, Gu Shao confessed: "Stare more."

"Yes, sir." Wang Wu responded on the phone.

——

Regarding the encounter between Lin Yize and Meng Zixin, Gu Shao's attitude was calm.

But on the other side of the Lin family, Song Kexin couldn't sit still after hearing the news that "Lin Yize went to a certain banquet and left with a woman before the banquet was over."

"How can he be like this! What kind of woman makes him like this..." Song Kexin was sitting on the sofa with an ugly face.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Cui hurriedly said with relief: "Maybe it's just normal business talks."

Not only did Zhang Cui's words not comfort Song Kexin, it made Song Kexin even more anxious: "Talking about business? Where can business talk about this time? And it's still an orphan, and even the bodyguards didn't let them follow up!"

What made Song Kexin feel the most crisis and uneasy was that Lin Yize did not answer her phone. Since hearing the news, she has made more than 30 calls to Lin Yize, and sent messages and WeChat, but the other party did not answer any of them. , And did not reply to her.

If it's just for business talks, how could this be the case.

Song Kexin squeezed the phone tightly again, and couldn't help but dial another call.

Lin Yize still didn't answer.

"No, I'm going to find him." Song Kexin stood up from the sofa with an ugly expression, ready to go out.

——Which club Lin Yize and the woman went to, Song Kexin can know from the bodyguard and the driver, but because Lin Yize had ordered, the bodyguard did not follow up.

Song Kexin plans to go by herself.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Cui was shocked, and quickly grabbed Song Kexin, and persuaded: "Don't worry, there have been a few times before, hasn’t it proved to be a misunderstanding? You just go over it, if it’s not, wouldn’t it? Didn't it affect Yize?"

"What should I do if I make Yize unhappy at that time? Don't bear it, it doesn't have to be..."

Hearing this, Song Kexin shook her head: "But this time I don't know why, I just feel very upset."

Just as he was talking, Song Kexin’s mobile phone uploaded the news of the bodyguard: [Mrs., the chairman and the woman have come out. 】

Song Kexin felt tight, and hurriedly sent a message to ask; [Who is that woman? What is the state of the two people now? 】

The bodyguard at the other end didn't know how to describe it, so he secretly took a photo and sent it to Song Kexin.

The photo came over. In the picture, Lin Yize and another woman were walking side by side. They were separated by a certain distance. They didn't look close, and it could be seen that the woman was deliberately keeping the distance between the two.

However, Song Kexin's face suddenly changed when she saw the woman's face in the photo.

The appearance of the woman in the photo is too similar to her, and at almost the first glance, Song Kexin already knows who the other party is through the sixth sense.

"It's her..." Song Kexin's legs softened and fell on the sofa, her face pale.

Zhang Cui, who was next to him, didn't understand what had happened, and nervously stepped forward to support Song Kexin.

"Kexin, what's the matter, what are you?" Zhang Cui asked.

And Song Kexin just shook her head, repeating in her mouth: "It's her, why is she..."

"Who? Kexin, please make it clear, don't scare me."

"Meng Zixin..."

——At first, when Lin Yize asked Song Kexin to be his lover, she did not say that she was a stand-in. Later, when Song Kexin was helping Lin Yize to clean up the room, she accidentally saw a photo and saw a picture of a girl who looked very similar to her. , She realized that she was just a stand-in. And finally realized that when the two were at that time, Lin Yize's name was not her, but Meng Zixin.

But at that time Song Kexin had fallen in love with Lin Yize, and also needed the other party's money, so she chose to pretend to be a fool.

Even though Song Kexin is extremely painful every time she hears a beloved man holding her and calling another woman "Xin'er", she still firmly believes that her dedication and love can change all this and heal Lin Yize's pain.

Later, after experiencing countless pains and misunderstandings, Song Kexin finally did it, taking the place of that first love in Lin Yize's heart and making Lin Yize fall in love with her.

Everything was perfect originally, why did that Meng Zixin appear again!

Song Kexin bit her lower lip, hatred in her eyes.

——

In this case, perhaps he recalled too many things about the Lin family and the plot of the novel before going to bed. After Gu Xi fell asleep, she also fell asleep very restlessly.

The dream that Gu Xi feared the most appeared again.

——In the dream, Gu Xi fled hastily, cried out for help, cried out and begged those people to let him go... But everything was to no avail.

In the dream, Gu Xi didn't feel the pain, but she could feel the endless fear and helplessness. Her body was so painful, as if it were torn apart.

Gu Xi struggled to look around, and in a certain direction, behind those devilish figures, Lin Yize's face became clearer.

He looked at her with that familiar, creepy look.

Under the control of fear, Gu Xi's consciousness plunged into darkness once again, unable to distinguish whether she lost consciousness in the dream or in reality because the dream was too terrifying and her self-protection generally closed her consciousness.

In the darkness, Gu Xi felt someone walking towards her.

She felt a hand covering her face with warmth. It feels so familiar...

But Gu Xi couldn't remember how.

...

After Gu Shao finished his work, he originally planned to go back to his room to rest. As a result, when he passed by Gu Xi's room, he heard crying from inside.
