Doing It Over Again - Chapter 59
Fate is something that can’t be explained or understood. The moment Shen Shao said this, Gu Ping heard an inexplicable absurd idea. If Shen Shao didn’t lend a helping hand back then, and his own What will happen to the second brother who doesn’t know how to communicate with people?
With a sigh in his heart, he felt that his thoughts were too inexplicable, perhaps because he had watched too many movies with Jin Shu recently, which made him think too much.
He is several years older than Gu Ningzhao, and he has been working in the company for a while, and his eyes on people are different from those in the past, so his views on Shen Shao have also changed. If Shen Shao was an innocent and kind young man, he would never believe it. A child who has no parents since childhood and a very poor family can climb to this position step by step and become a genius known to many people. Shen Shao will definitely not be an ignorant person.
How many people are there in Yangyanghua? There are people who are smarter than Shen Shao, but these people have not been able to represent the country in the competition, and they do not have the current wealth of Shen Shao. What does this mean? This shows that Shen Shao is not only smart, but also very knowledgeable about current affairs and how to behave.
There was a time when he suspected the purpose of Shen Shao’s friendship with his younger brother, but after a short observation, he overturned his previous guess that Shen Shao had no intention of taking advantage of his younger brother, and instead sincerely treated Ning Zhao. as friends.
Others say that the wealthy brothers will fight for their wealth, but for Gu Pingwen, such a thing is impossible at all. Ning Zhao is a genius. Even if he doesn’t care about the family’s wealth, he is still a rich man. What’s more, he knew from a young age that he was trained as the heir of the Gu family, and the heir of the Gu family does not need to be a rare genius in the world. .
It’s not that no one has provoked him in front of him, but Gu Pingwen is not someone who is easy to be provoked. He and Ning Zhao are neither short of money nor power. He is good at shopping malls, while Ning Zhao is suitable for less contact. People’s career, so what is there for the two brothers to fight?
Many aristocratic families were destroyed in the change of dynasties. Many times it was not because of external forces, but because of internal struggles. They have been passed down by the Gu family for hundreds of years. The first ancestral motto is not to fight within the family. Anyone who fights within is the sinner of the Gu family through the ages. .
A group of shallow-eyed people are self-righteous and speculate about others, but they don’t know that in the eyes of others, they are just a joke.
“Xiao Shao is actually Tong Lao’s disciple,” Gu Chongzhen said with some emotion in his tone, “Tong Lao’s calligraphy and painting are treasures in the collection world, but unfortunately not many calligraphy and paintings have flowed out to the outside world. Xiao Shao, you are Tong Lao’s disciple. Do you have a collection of Old Tong’s works?”
Thinking of the calligraphy and paintings that can be seen everywhere in the master’s house, as well as the calligraphy that his mother used to paste the toilet window, Shen Shao felt that he couldn’t bear to tell the truth, so he laughed dryly: “Master is a person who pays attention to freedom, and the old man said that the so-called works , the important thing is the process of writing and painting, the rest is not important.”
“Well, as expected of Mr. Tong, he is so free and easy,” Gu Chongzhen said with respect, “this is everyone’s style.”
Shen Shao said with a smile: “If my uncle likes it, next time I go back to Furong City, I will ask the master to write the calligraphy. It shouldn’t be too difficult.”
“Then I’ll thank you first.” Gu Chongzhen respects culture and art, and now he is very happy to be able to get a pair of calligraphy from everyone Tong.
“It turns out that Xiao Shao is actually Tong’s apprentice. My grandfather also highly respects Tong’s calligraphy. I don’t know if I can ask you to ask for a calligraphy for my grandfather.” He Jinshu didn’t expect that Shen Shao still had such an identity. Everyone’s direct disciples, if they are placed in the traditional literary world, as long as they are not too unsatisfactory, they will be somewhat famous in the future.
“Sister Jin Shu opened this mouth, but I am pestering the master every day, and I also ask for a share,” Shen Shao smiled and glanced at Gu Ningzhao next to him, “Otherwise, Brother Gu will settle the account with me.”
“You are Ning Zhao’s honored guest. I don’t dare to settle accounts with you. I’m afraid I won’t be liquidated by you, but I will be liquidated by Ning Zhao.” Gu Pingwen shrugged, looking very helpless.
The Gu family is more approachable than Shen Shao expected. In his imagination, the people of the big family should be aloof, reserved and arrogant, but the Gu family broke his impression. In other words, the Gu family treats him very closely and does not treat him with the attitude of treating outsiders.
No matter what the reason is, it doesn’t affect Shen Shao’s favorable impression of the Gu family. He is a layman, and when others treat him well, he is naturally more likely to have favorable impressions.
Gu Ningzhao raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Pingwen, who was smiling, and picked a few toffees from the candy tray and put them in front of Gu Pingwen.
Looking at the few toffees in front of him that he liked to eat when he was a child, Gu Pingwen: …
Did his brother mean to tell him to shut up? He felt as if he was a little stuck.
Xiang Weilan looked at the interaction between the two brothers, with a smile on her face, got up and said, “I’ll go to the study upstairs to sit for a while, you young people can chat more together.”
Gu Chongzhen got up and left the living room with Xiang Weilan, leaving only four young people sitting around the mahogany coffee table, you look at me, I look at you.
“Pfft,” He Jinshu took the lead in laughing, “Actually, I met Xiao Shao a few years ago. At that time, there was a lot of noise about education in the media, and there was a newspaper that published Xiao Shao wearing Hanfu. Photo.”
Hanfu?
Shen Shao was stunned for a while. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that what He Jinshu said was probably the Mid-Autumn Festival show he participated in his first year of high school. It seemed that their class had won the first place, but the time had passed so far that he almost remembered it. I don’t know what I did in the first place.
“The poem you read is very artistic,” Gu Ningzhao said in his ear, “It’s also very suitable for wearing Hanfu.”
Does this mean that Gu Ningzhao has also seen his performance?
Shen Shao turned to look at Gu Ningzhao, and wanted to ask, how many things did he secretly investigate behind him? If this is a woman, he will suspect that the other party has a crush on him.
He Jinshu put an orange into Gu Pingwen’s hand, motioned for her to peel it off for him, and he turned his head to continue chatting with Shen Shao: “Yes, at that time, I specially found a video of your performance to see, you group of fifteen It is very rare for a six-year-old child to perform the show so well, and it is no wonder that it caused a discussion in the education circle. At that time, I don’t know how many experts and professors made fun of it in the newspapers for the sake of education.”
Shen Shao found that he didn’t know anything about these things. At the beginning, he seemed to be busy adjusting to high school life, building good relations with his neighbors, getting up every day to exercise, and looking for opportunities to make a fortune during the holidays, like this Things like that, I haven’t paid much attention to.
Gu Pingwen stuffed the peeled oranges into He Jinshu’s hands, picked another one to peel, and said while peeling, “Xiao Shao has been a man of influence since he was a child, and Ning Zhao in our family is often reported, you two can be good buddies. , as Xiao Shao you said, there is a bit of fate.”
Hearing this, the smile on Shen Shao’s face faded a bit, and when he remembered that Gu Ningzhao might be captured by the gangsters and killed in his previous life, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. If he had not been late in his last life, but had gone out early, he might have met Gu Ningzhao who escaped on the way. With his character, he might not have watched Gu Ningzhao squatting there alone.
But in his previous life, because of his mother’s suicide, he had been very sad for a few days and had poor sleep, so he got up late on the day he went to take the admission test for the key classes of the experimental middle school. When he hurried to the experimental middle school, the test had already started.
At that time, I didn’t meet Gu Ningzhao, maybe… Gu Ningzhao had already been captured back then?
Even though he understood that the matter had nothing to do with him, Shen Shao felt more and more uncomfortable when he thought about it. He felt a little fortunate when he thought about it later. If he went out a little earlier or later in his life, he would also never meet Gu Ningzhao.
When something cold was put in his hand, Shen Shao looked down and saw that it was half a peeled orange, and the other half was in Gu Ningzhao’s hand, looking at Gu Ningzhao’s beautiful eyes, he smiled relievedly: “God is helping, we If you don’t cherish this friendship, how can you be worthy of God.”
Gu Pingwen felt that these words were a bit inappropriate, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing strange, so he smiled and said in a joking tone: “God has eyes, he has already arranged who should meet whom, Jin and I will meet each other. The book must be a predestined marriage on the Sansheng Shishang, otherwise why do I look at her and think she is rare?”
Shen Shao: …
Can we still have a good chat, why did the topic turn to this?
At noon, six people sat around the round table. Shen Shao looked at the dishes on the table and found that several dishes were famous dishes from his hometown.
Although the Gu family are easy-going, they still pay attention to the rules of eating and sleeping, eating a meal quietly but not embarrassing. To Shen Shao’s surprise, he thought he would be embarrassed to use chopsticks, but the truth was that he almost ate. .
It’s not that he’s not particular, but that the kindness that the Gu family radiated towards him is about to materialize.
When Gu Ningzhao went upstairs to get the things, he said gratefully to Wei Lan: “Xiao Shao, thank you for taking care of our family Ning Zhao for the past two years. This child doesn’t know how to communicate with people, and his personality is a bit awkward. He went to Huada University. Before, his father and I were always worried that he would not get along with his roommates, and we never thought that he would become a good friend with you.”
“Ning Zhao doesn’t have a bad heart, but he doesn’t speak very well. He is willing to communicate with you. We are very happy as parents, so Auntie has a ruthless request,” Xiang Weilan smiled bitterly, “I hope you will bring more in the future. Ning Zhao walks around and sees more, I don’t want him to be a lonely man with no friends.”
“Auntie, don’t say that,” Shen Shao said hurriedly, “Ning Zhao is my good friend, and he usually takes good care of me. It’s up to you to take care of each other between friends. You are so polite, but you make me feel embarrassed. “
“Thank you,” Xiang Weilan said with a smile, “our parents didn’t let him learn to try to communicate with others, but you did. For our family, this is the most joyous event to celebrate, you probably don’t know , When you came back from Wei Island, Ning Zhao actually learned to bring me gifts and send us text messages, how happy I am with his father.”
It was only then that Shen Shao noticed that Xiang Weilan was wearing a wood carving craft bracelet on his wrist. He felt that he had done nothing for Gu Ningzhao. Even the gradual friendship between the two was the first step for Gu Ningzhao. Is the Gu Ningzhao in his mouth the one he knows?
If the real Gu Ningzhao is like this, then he took the initiative to send himself gifts at the beginning, and when he was a stranger, he sent himself to the airport, how difficult is this step?
“No, Auntie,” Shen Shao said solemnly, “Actually, it’s me who should really be thanked.”
In the world, there is such a person who sincerely treats him without any consideration of return. He thinks that he has returned enough good, but he forgets how difficult it is for that person, every step and every word, and how difficult it is for him. That said, a lot of things are just casual.
Sometimes, it’s not how much the other party gives you that is precious, but how difficult it is when the other party gives you these things to become more precious.
He Shen Shao was able to get such a precious friendship in his life, which was a precious gift after his rebirth.
When he left Gu’s house, Shen Shao’s address for Xiang Weilan had changed from Aunt Xiang to Mother Xiang, and the trunk was full of all kinds of valuable food and food that Mother Xiang asked them to bring to the villa, even the bodyguards. The car is full.
“Xiang’s mother is so enthusiastic,” Shen Shao held a box of haute couture fruit in his arms and glanced at Gu Ningzhao, who was also holding a bunch of things, “Ning Zhao, thank you.”
Gu Ningzhao looked at Shen Shao blankly, not quite understanding why he said this inexplicably.
“It’s okay,” Shen Shao smiled, reached out and snorted Gu Ningzhao’s soft hair, “The chef in our villa is still on vacation, let’s order takeout tonight.”
Gu Ningzhao raised his hand and touched the place that Shen Shao had touched just now, and nodded blankly.
Back in the villa, Shen Shao took Gu Ningzhao and two bodyguards to put away the things that his mother asked them to bring back, and then leaned lazily on the sofa, “I haven’t eaten pizza for a while, how about we call pizza? ?”
If you eat pizza often, you will feel tired, but if you don’t eat it for a while, it will make people feel a little missed. Shen Shao is not the one who wronged himself, so after seeing that Gu Ningzhao had no objection, he called and ordered two pizzas As well as four drinks, I went to the kitchen to cook a light casserole.
When the take-out was delivered, one of the bodyguards went out to work for Gu Ningzhao, and the other was changing the lights upstairs, so Shen Shao had to go out to get the take-out by himself.
“Senior Shen?” The young man who delivered the food looked happy when he saw Shen Shao, “Please sign for your pizza.”
“Thank you.” Shen Shao glanced at the young man in the uniform of the fast food restaurant in front of him. He seemed to have seen this person before.
Seeing that Shen Shao didn’t seem to remember him very much, the young man was not angry, and still said with a smile: “My name is Deng Kang, and I am your junior in Furong No. 3 Middle School and Hua University.”
“Hello,” Shen Shao handed the signed list to Deng Kang, then took out the wallet from his trouser pocket.
“Senior, this time I invite you…”
“No need,” handed a few red bills to him, holding the money in a fair and beautiful hand, “You are Xiao Shao’s apprentice, you don’t need to look for the money.”
Deng Kang’s face froze, looking at the handsome young man emerging from behind Shen Shao, he could hardly hold back the smile on his face.
The author has something to say: Gu Ershao: Want to get close to my sweetheart with bad intentions? Hehe *^_^*
Shen Shao: Idiot, don’t keep throwing money at people, don’t you know that money is a good thing? o(︶︿︶)o Deng Kang: I will go, I bought a watch last year!
Warning, warning, those with bad intentions approached the target, and Gu Ershao entered a state of special alert.
