Come To My Side - Chapter 18
The light music in the cafe is melodious, and the faint fragrance wafts. Some people whispered, and some people were typing on the notebook on the table.
Guan Xi walked in a hurry and quickly walked away.
Jiang Suizhou sat in the same position, his eyes were not taken back until she disappeared around the corner.
At this moment, his cell phone also rang, and there was a call from home.
Pick up: “Hello.”
“Is it true about the Guan family?” The female voice from the receiver was a little cold.
Jiang Suizhou paused for two seconds: “Well.”
“Go home tonight.”
After saying this, the other side hung up the phone. Jiang Suizhou put down the phone and looked at the ice cream in his hand.
The air-conditioning in the coffee shop was sufficient, and the ice cream had no tendency to melt.
Jiang Suizhou stared at it for a while. At this time, he was not thinking about the job at hand, nor the person he was going to face when he went home tonight.
Just a little annoyed.
He thought, he spent an afternoon swiping a bunch of zeros to go out, and Guan Xi called Guan Xi back to the original with a phone call.
On the other side, Guan Xi got into Guan Xinghao’s car and arrived home soon.
Wei Shaomin and Guan Ying were both at home. When Guan Xi came back, Guan Ying was the first sight he saw.
In this room, she is the only one who doesn’t know the truth.
“How on earth did this matter get out?” Guan Xinghao was very annoyed when he heard the news. This kind of thing hit Guan Xi, and it was as painful as hitting him.
Wei Shaomin shook his head: “Not many people knew about this at the beginning, how could it be like this.”
Guan Xinghao couldn’t find any clue: “Where’s the number!”
Wei Shaomin: “I found out that it was an overseas number. After using it, I discarded it. There is no way to find out who it is.”
Guan Xinghao gritted his teeth, scratched his heart, turned around for a while and then looked at Guan Xi: “Xixi, you…”
Guan Xi thought of Wei Zihan. She provoked herself just before her eyes last night. She thought that her parents knew what happened last night, but now that there is no evidence, it is not good for them to directly accuse her niece.
Guan Xi: “Dad, look at this matter. I’ll go back to my room first.”
Guan Xinghao: “Xixi, don’t be sad, Dad will call the shots for you!”
Guan Xi looked at her father filled with righteous indignation, and suddenly remembered that every time she got into trouble when she was a child, he had to decide for her, help her parents but not help her, and her heart was warm.
“Although everyone knows the truth, no one dares to bully me, so what if you know.” Guan Xi took Xia Guan Xinghao’s arm, and his tone was as relaxed as possible, “Dad, you made the decision so early, right? Too fierce~”
Guan Xinghao looked sideways at Guan Xi, his nose was a little sore, he remembered that since Guan Ying came back, she hadn’t acted like a spoiled child with him for a long time: “Dad is afraid that you will feel wronged.”
“Well… not at all. Could it be that for you, when others know that I am not your biological daughter, have you changed to me?” Guan Xi asked.
Guan Xinghao is serious: “Nonsense, you have always been Dad’s baby!”
“That’s okay, okay, okay, let’s not talk more.” Guan Xi patted his arm, then turned to Wei Shaomin and said, “Mom, you don’t have to worry. That’s it, I’ll go back first. Clean up the room and come down later.”
Wei Shaomin nodded: “Okay, let’s go.”
Guan Xi turned back and walked towards the stairs, and when she walked up the stairs and couldn’t see the people downstairs, her expression cooled down.
There can be no change after this.
At least the group led by Wei Zihan didn’t know how to embarrass her.
However, how did Wei Zihan know about this?
night.
Guan Xi came out of the room and wanted to get something to drink. When the door was opened, Guan Ying also opened the door and came out.
The relationship between the two is not warm on the surface, but it is not contradictory either. After what happened yesterday, Guan Ying knew the truth, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
“Mom has already explained it to me.” Guan Ying spoke first.
Guan Xi hummed, feeling a little embarrassed: “Then…”
“Did you already know about this?”
Guan Xi paused.
“Oh, I don’t mean anything else, I just asked casually, it doesn’t seem to be very important whether you know it or not.” Guan Ying smiled, “I just want to say that your parents really love you, don’t think too much. More. As for what I said before, I am also sincere, I like your sister very much.”
Guan Xi was surprised by Guan Ying’s reaction, but he was really relieved by her reaction: “Thank you.”
“What did you say thank you to? I should thank you.” Guan Ying said with frowning eyebrows, “Thank you for staying with my parents for so many years instead of me.”

Jiang Suizhou drove home at night. He didn’t come back often on weekdays and lived alone in Jialin Jingyuan.
It was ten o’clock in the evening when he got home. When he came up from the garage, his mother Li Yuanying was already waiting for him in the living room.
His family’s situation is complicated. His mother is his father’s third wife, and the first two brothers have never stopped fighting.
“Guan Xi was adopted, and the Guan family never told us.” Li Yuanying was dignified and elegant, with a cold temperament.
Jiang Suizhou sat down on the sofa: “Yes.”
Li Yuanying looked at Jiang Suizhou, with a long-standing calculation and calmness in his eyes: “When the two married, we want to marry Miss Guan.”
Jiang Suizhou: “She still is.”
Li Yuanying: “Are you sure she can stand still?”
Jiang Suizhou: “What is the mother worried about, she will be able to stand with me naturally.”
Li Yuanying frowned: “Suizhou, you and your future wife want a mutually beneficial relationship, so I don’t need to say more.”
“nature.”
“It’s good if you know.” Li Yuanying took a sip of the coffee at hand. “Recently, your eldest brother was blowing in your father’s ear and wanted to take over the leadership of the real estate side, but this piece must not be taken away by him.”
“I know.”
…
The conversation between the two was cold and direct, and after a while, their conversation was over.
There has always been a lack of indifference between their mother and son.
Li Yuanying waved his hand and said, “Okay, then you can go upstairs to rest, and you don’t have to go back to your place tonight.”
Jiang Suizhou nodded and got up.
“In order to avoid risks, maybe it would be better for you to break up with her earlier.” After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard Li Yuanying speaking behind him.
Jiang Suizhou looked back.
Li Yuanying asked lightly, “What do you think?”
Jiang Suizhou’s eyes were dark, and he couldn’t see his emotions: “I will take care of this kind of thing myself.”
That night, Jiang Suizhou still did not stay in the old house. He went to the garage, got into his car, and got ready to go back.
But instead of driving immediately, he glanced at his phone first.
Before he came, he sent Guan Xi a message, but she never replied. Now, when I look at it, the dialog box still stays in the “who broke the news” column he asked.
It’s been so long that you haven’t replied yet?
Jiang Suizhou didn’t wait any longer, and made a video call to her directly.
On the other side, close the house—
The mobile phone on the coffee table kept ringing. Guan Ying glanced at the display and saw the words “Jiang Ergou”.
Jiang Ergou… Jiang Suizhou?
Guan Ying pursed her lips and forced herself to look away from the word “two dogs” and looked towards the kitchen.
Guan Xi was called in to drink soup by Aunt Zhen just now, but did not come out.
But the phone on the coffee table kept ringing, and the person opposite was obviously tireless.
“It doesn’t taste good at all, Aunt Zhen, the medicine smells so bad.” Guan Xi’s voice came over.
Guan Ying glanced at her phone again, and then called Guan Xi’s name.
Guan Xi trotted out: “what’s the matter.”
“telephone.”
Guan Xi: “Oh.”
Guan Xi picked up the phone, sat on the other side of the sofa, and answered directly.
After it was turned on, the screen displayed a dim picture, and the lights on the opposite side were not turned on.
Guan Xi directly cut his picture into a big screen: “Jiang Suizhou, why are you making a video for me?”
“See if you are still alive.” Jiang Suizhou’s clear and cold voice came from the phone.
“Alive… No, how did you talk?” Guan Xi glared at the camera, “I will live well even if you die.”
Jiang Suizhou snorted: “Then why didn’t you reply to my message.”
“You messaged me? I didn’t notice.”
“I noticed it, but I forgot it in a blink of an eye.” Jiang Suizhou crushed her mercilessly.
Guan Xi refused to admit it: “I really didn’t see it, you wait a minute, I’ll get back to you after I hang up.”
“…Ah.”
Guan Xi: “?? Huh?”
The light on Jiang Suizhou was very dark, and only a faint outline could be seen. After listening to his “ha”, Guan Xi said again: “Tomorrow on business trip, I won’t be back until three days.”
Guan Xi was stunned for a moment: “Why did you suddenly tell me this.”
He rarely reported her itinerary.
Jiang Suizhou: “Tell you, let you wait for me at home that day.”
“and then?”
“Then why do you want me to tell you?” Jiang Suizhou’s voice was calm, but somehow erotic.
“…”
Guan Xi took a quick look at Guan Ying and saw that the latter was watching TV and didn’t notice her appearance, so she quickly got up with her mobile phone and went outside the yard.
When no one was around, she said, “Jiang Suizhou, be careful, it’s immoral.”
Jiang Suizhou: “What?”
Guan Xi: “I was in the living room just now!”
Jiang Suizhou: “Someone?”
“Of course there are people, but fortunately my parents are not here…”
Jiang Suizhou said: “You don’t wear headphones when you take the video, who’s to blame.”
“You can’t control your mouth, you still blame me?”
Guan Xi’s firepower rose, and it seemed that he was going to fight him verbally.
The garage was empty, and the surroundings were uncomfortably quiet. Jiang Suizhou pulled off his tie, feeling a little irritable in his heart.
“Kuan Xi.”
“what.”
“Come to my house at night,” he said suddenly.
Guan Xi was stunned: “What time is it… No, didn’t you just say three days later?”
Jiang Suizhou looked at the person on the screen who was holding his face in the best posture for the mirror, and his mind was rarely free.
I said three days later, but—
“Didn’t you buy a lot of things today and send them to my house, don’t you want to see them?”
Guan Xi’s spirit was shocked.
Jiang Suizhou knew the answer when he saw her expression, smiled lightly, and started the car: “I’ll pick you up.”
