Doing It Over Again - Chapter 58

On the first day of the new year, without visiting others or welcoming guests, Shen Shao dragged Gu Ningzhao to the outskirts of Beijing for a walk, then picked two dead branches that were pleasing to the eye, and stuffed one into Gu Ningzhao’s hand: “Go, go back. .”

At noon, Shen Shao made a few bowls of noodles, and then heated up the leftovers from yesterday and put them on the table, indicating that there will be inexhaustible things to eat this year.

The two bodyguards knew this custom, and they didn’t pay attention to people. What surprised Shen Shao was that Gu Ningzhao was not picky at all and ate a bowl of noodles cleanly.

“Well eaten,” Shen Shaoyang sat on the sofa, “are you going home today?”

“Go back tomorrow,” Gu Ningzhao glanced at Shen Shao several times, “Go with me tomorrow.”

Shen Shao was a little stunned. In fact, he had long wanted to visit Gu Ningzhao’s parents, but he was worried that the other party would misunderstand his intentions, so in the past two years, he only asked Gu Ningzhao to bring some gifts he bought to the second elder during the holidays, but But he never entered the door of Gu’s house. Now Gu Ningzhao opens this mouth, if he doesn’t go, he can’t justify it. Although Gu Ningzhao never said it, but he can eat well in the capital, there must be a reason for the Gu family to help, otherwise he is a powerless person with no power and no parents. With such great ability, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in the Beijing business district in just two years.

“Okay.” Shen Shao touched his chin and wondered what gift to buy tomorrow to see the second old man, but he didn’t see the sincere smile on Gu Ningzhao’s face.

That night, Xiang Weilan received a phone call from her youngest son. The general idea was that your son was going to bring a good friend home, and you should prepare a richer lunch.

After Xiang Weilan hung up the phone, he couldn’t help but said, “Ning Zhao is bringing a friend back tomorrow, should we prepare for it?”

Gu Chongzhen, who was reading the newspaper, said calmly, “Isn’t there a helper cook at home, what else do you need to prepare?” Shaking the newspaper in his hand, he seemed to despise his wife’s indifference.

Xiang Weilan squinted at him, snorted coldly in her heart, and pretended to be so calm that when she didn’t see him, the newspaper was crumpled, “Mom, who will Ning Zhao bring back tomorrow?” Working in the company, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses on his face, accompanied by a slender figure and a graceful demeanor, attracted the attention of many female employees of the company. Unfortunately, this one already had a girlfriend of comparable ability and family background, which attracted the embarrassment of all female employees.

“Although he didn’t say it, I guess there should be no one other than Shen Shao,” Xiang Weilan rubbed the corners of his eyes, trying to make the skin of the corners of his eyes smoother, “Tomorrow you are going to visit Jin Shu’s parents at He’s house. ?”

Gu Pingwen pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled and said, “This is the first time my brother brought a friend to our house, how can I not save face, I will go to He’s house to pick up Jinshu tomorrow for lunch.”

“Alright,” Xiang Weilan nodded, “you’re a man, you have to be considerate to those around you, otherwise you’ll be sorry for your sincerity.”

“Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll treat her well,” Gu Pingwen lay on Xiang Weilan’s shoulder, “Now that Jinshu hasn’t entered the door, you will face her, and when she comes in later, I still have mine at home. location?”

“You’re a stinky boy in sleep,” Xiang Weilan sat down with a smile, “I think the child in Jinshu is much more caring than you, don’t you care if she doesn’t care about you?”

Gu Pingwen sighed, other people’s families are worried about the discord between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Their family is the wife and mother standing on the same line, and he is always the only one being trained, so no matter what, it is always the man who gets hurt.

Early in the morning on the second day of the new year, after having breakfast, Shen Shao put on the clothes he had picked early last night, and dragged Gu Ningzhao all the way to the mall. After buying gifts, he returned to the car with confidence.

“My parents are very gentle, don’t worry,” Gu Ningzhao patted the back of Shen Shao’s hand, “really.”

“Yeah.” Shen Shao nodded and took a deep breath. It was strange. Isn’t it just visiting his friend’s parents? Why did he act like he was seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law?

The car drove all the way to the Gu family’s mansion. When he saw the large and tree-lined Gu family’s mansion, he immediately sighed in his heart, how much is such a wide place worth in the capital?

The gate of the hook flower iron fence slowly opened, and the car drove all the way inward, passing a grove, turning a pavilion, turning a meadow, and finally stopped in front of a mansion with an ancient Chinese style.

“Second Young Master.”

Two bodyguards in black suits stepped forward and opened the door for Shen Shao and Gu Ningzhao. Although the bodyguard who opened the door for Shen Shao did not know him, they bowed respectfully to Shen Shao.

Shen Shao nodded and returned the salute: “Thank you.”

Turning around, he saw Gu Ningzhao walking to his side, and there were several servants of the Gu family standing on the doorstep. These people were all dressed in neat uniforms. After seeing Gu Ningzhao getting off the bus, they all lowered their heads neatly.

Seeing this battle, a word suddenly appeared in Shen Shao’s mind, a family of hundreds of years.

“This is my friend, Young Master Shen.” Gu Ningzhao took off the glove and handed it to the bodyguard next to Shen Shao, “Are my parents here?”

It seems that he didn’t expect the second young master to say so much to himself. The bodyguard was a little excited: “Second young master, Mr. and Mrs. have been waiting for you early in the morning, and the young master and Miss He are also there.”

Gu Ningzhao nodded and walked up the steps with Shen Shao. The helper pushed open the carved mahogany door for them. The furnishings inside the door were not as luxurious as Shen Shao imagined, but with an indescribable ancient rhyme, giving people A picturesque beauty.

Xiang Weilan and Gu Chongzhen were sitting on the front seats, and when they saw the door opened, they looked up and saw that his son and a young man with a long body came in. The young man’s face had a touch of intimacy. Smile, people feel very flattering at first sight.

“Uncle, aunt, good luck for the new year,” Shen Shao handed the gift in his hand to the servant next to him, then glanced over Gu Pingwen and He Jinshu, slightly startled.

In his last life, when he was in his twenties, he met these two people. At that time, because a certain family heir was going to hold a wedding at the seaside, he invited chefs from several famous hotels to do the cooking. He was fortunate enough to be his deputy. The scene was shocked, so I remembered the faces of the bride and groom clearly, the two people in front of them.

Later, news about the two of them occasionally appeared in the newspapers, most of which were reports of the deep love between husband and wife or the priceless jewelry on the young grandma of the Gu family. It is certain that the husband and wife have a good relationship. But he has never seen Gu Ningzhao’s news in various reports, as if the second young master of the Gu family is a little transparent of the Gu family or does not exist at all.

wrong! He carefully recalled the newspapers he had read when he was bored. Nearly ten years had passed. He could not remember many things in his previous life, but he seemed to have seen gossip about the Gu family on a certain forum. The master family once had a talented second young master, but unfortunately, when he was less than ten years old, he was kidnapped and torn apart.

Shen Shao fiercely looked back at Gu Ningzhao beside him, remembering the kidnapping mentioned by Gu Ningzhao last night. Could it be that Gu Ningzhao was taken back for something in his previous life? No wonder he had never read any reports about Gu Ningzhao in his last life. It stands to reason that a talented young man like Gu Ningzhao has a prominent family background and can participate in various international competitions. no.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Shao’s expression was too complicated, Gu Ningzhao glanced at Gu Pingwen and He Jinshu in confusion, and asked worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.” Shen Shao smiled reluctantly, and then said hello to Gu Pingwen and He Jinshu.

Xiang Weilan also noticed Shen Shao’s move, but in order to avoid embarrassment, she warmly greeted Shen Shao to sit down, “You too, this child, why did you come to aunt’s house to buy so many things, are you thirsty, come and eat some fruit? .”

“Thank you,” Shen Shao took a piece of fruit, handed it to Gu Ningzhao very naturally, and then took another piece to eat by himself.

When Gu Chongzhi saw this, he chatted with Shen Shao from time to time. The more he talked, the better his impression of Shen Shao. Because he was interested in traditional culture, the topic unknowingly turned to this aspect. He knew a lot about it, which made Gu Chongzhi talk about it.

Xiang Weilan looked at Shen Shao without a trace, his conversation was extraordinary, his manners were polite, and the atmosphere of getting along with Ning Zhao was also very natural.

He Jinshu didn’t know Shen Shao’s identity very well, but she knew Gu Ningzhao’s reticent personality and would not take the initiative to introduce her to her, so she just quietly listened to Uncle Gu chatting with this boy who was a few years younger than her, the more The more she was surprised by Shen Shao, the boy knew a lot.

“Speaking of which, you may not know these two children,” Gu Chongzhen remembered after a while that he had not introduced his eldest son and future eldest daughter-in-law, “This is Ning Zhao’s brother Gu Pingwen, this is the He family The girl Jinshu, you can just call her Sister Jinshu.”

“Big Brother Gu, Sister Jin Shu,” Shen Shao called out with kindness, and then handed a piece of fruit to Gu Ningzhao’s hand.

Noticing his action, Gu Pingwen said with a smile: “I wanted Ning Zhao to invite you to dinner at home for a long time, who would have known that this kid would not be able to open his mouth for so long. You look better than the papers say.”

“The media is somewhat exaggerated,” Shen Shao said with a smile, “and some tabloids say that Ning Zhao and I were pen pals who had long been friends with each other since we were children, and we met in a **** way in college, so what do we think in our hearts? The descriptions are so delicate and moving that I almost believed them to be true.”

“Haha, they are willing to write about you to show that you are popular, otherwise why would those people waste their brains to make up stories,” Gu Ping heard, “I would like to thank you for your help back then. Later, my mother investigated, if not You take Ning Zhao away in advance, maybe those people will take Ning Zhao back.”

“It’s just a little effort,” Shen Shao is very fortunate that he did meddling because of his soft heart. Otherwise, maybe there is no such thing now, but he will try his best to be a good iron brother to himself, and come back to this life. , God gave him a chance to start over, why not give Gu Ningzhao a chance to grow up?

“Furthermore, I’m also very fortunate that I helped Ning Zhao in the first place,” Shen Shao’s smile brightened a bit, “Probably, this is fate.”

Gu Ningzhao turned his head and stared at the smiling Shen Shao, feeling warm in his heart, as if drinking a bowl of chicken soup made by Shen Shao, he couldn’t say how happy he was.
