Chapter 288 Someone comes in the middle of the night
There was smile in Lingxi's eyes.
Lingxi knew how much her father loved her. This time it wasn't a big deal. She would just cooperate and feel guilty for a while, to make her father feel a little accomplished, right?
In fact, Lao Hei is a rough but meticulous person. The reason why Lingxi can make him believe her with just a few words is mainly because he has a filter for Lingxi.
In Lao Hei's eyes, Lingxi is too obedient and not aggressive enough, so she has always been well protected by her family.
Lingxi's eyes were very clean and pure, and one could see through her at a glance. They were so pure and white that those of them who were immersed in worldly desires felt that any further speculation would be disrespectful to her.
The word "attack power" has nothing to do with Lingxi.
Moreover, she had a face that could always fight side by side with Lao Hei and could be trusted with his back. In addition, Pei Yanning had said in the past that Ling Xi was so well behaved and good, but she couldn't hide her feelings on her face, which made him worried...
As for such a person, Lao Hei never thought that Ling Xi would talk nonsense in front of him.
But that doesn't matter.
Although Pei Yanning and Lao Hei are not as clingy as Lingxi said, their comradeship is still very pure.
So, Lingxi said it, it doesn’t matter.
By this time, the meal was almost ready at home.
The dishes she brought back were still warm at this time and could be served on the table after a little heating. Together with the homemade dishes, four meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, it was quite a feast.
The Pei family is a family that follows rules and their dining etiquette is very good, but there are no mandatory requirements such as not talking while eating or sleeping, and it is very common to talk while eating.
So Lingxi told them what happened today.
"We sent my second brother to the train and went to a western restaurant. We met Lao Hei's nephew and niece-in-law in the restaurant. Later, Lao Hei told me that they were also on the train that night, and he happened to meet them when he went to pick us up..."
This explains why Lao Hei brought up the idea of picking them up.
Pei Yanning thought about it.
"We got married in October, right? Dad even asked someone to give us some gift money. This is the first year of our marriage, so it's normal for us to go back to the capital to celebrate the New Year."
As he said this, he glanced at Gu Si with displeasure. Seeing that he had finally married himself after hearing that someone else had gotten married, he simply couldn't bear to look at the annoying look on his face.
Gu Si just pretended not to see it.
He remembered another thing.
"What is the plan for Zhao Jianan and Pei Fuzhu's matter?"
Lingxi exclaimed, "Yeah!"
But, after such a long time, whether they are together or have other plans, there should be a conclusion.
Pei Fuzhu is only twenty years old this year and is not in a hurry, but Zhao Jianan can't wait any longer because of his age.
Uncle Pei knows this.
"That's it. Your Third Uncle doesn't care. Just let them do what they want."
Ever since Pei Fuzhu scared herself last year, and with the cooperation of Gu Si Lingxi and others, she realized that she didn't have to fight to the death with her brother-in-law from her previous life. She was in a daze for a while, and then slowly calmed down.
Zhao Jianan happened to appear at this time, and Pei Fuzhu had a bit of a relationship with him.
But the relationship hasn't reached that point.
Getting married is not making enemies. Pei Fuzhu always calls herself God's father. Her family can't control her. If she is really forced to get married, who knows what kind of trouble she will make.
As for Zhao Jianan...
The Pei family treated him as their own nephew. Sometimes when they brought things from their hometown to Pei Yanning and others, they would also give Zhao Jianan an extra portion. He knew what the Pei family was thinking and he was very patient.
There is no one better than Pei Fuzhu around him.
Little Minghui was eating steak with his mouth greasy. When he heard this, his eyes sparkled: "I saw my aunt holding hands with that uncle."
He even gestured with his hands, "Just like this, like this..." Everyone: "..."
I want to laugh, but it seems inappropriate.
Little Minghui remembered something a little late and raised his hands to cover the ears of baby A Zhao who was closest to him.
It's not appropriate for children to listen to this.
Baby Zhao, who had been eating egg custard obediently with his head buried, said: "..."
With a confused look on his face, he looked at this and that, then looked at his sister sitting in his second grandfather's arms. Seeing that she was as confused as he was, he was instantly relieved.
As for my brother...
My younger brother is younger than me and he doesn’t understand. Isn’t it normal that he doesn’t understand?
Everyone: "..."
-
That night, it was around two or three o'clock in the morning, when people were in deep sleep. Gu Si looked at the faint tiredness on Lingxi's face, tidied up the hair that fell on her cheeks, and felt a little sleepless.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard some noise coming from the yard.
It was the sound of someone climbing over the wall quietly and landing in the yard.
Gu Si was surprised. What was going on?
There were so many guards around their door, yet some people were so foolish as to run towards their house.
Gu Si became somewhat interested. He didn't make any noise, but buttoned up Lingxi's pajamas calmly and pulled the quilt. Worried that he might disturb Lingxi, he simply took a piece of clothing and walked out quietly.
At the same time, he used his limited mental strength to wake up Pei Yanning in the next room.
Pei Yanning opened his eyes and saw that the old man sleeping on the other side had also sat up. He held him back and emitted his mental power with interest, observing the situation outside calmly.
The other party came in and went straight to the main house.
They have the habit of bolting the door at night.
But the current door bolt is not very secure. It can be easily moved away with a dagger or a knife.
That's what people out there do.
He held a dagger, stuck it in the door bolt, and moved it aside...
Not long after, the door was opened quietly.
Gu Si stood in the blind spot, watching the other party's movements leisurely.
The person who walked in was a tall and thin man. He had a dog-skin hat on his head and a mask on his face. His entire head was covered, leaving only his eyes exposed. Judging from his figure, he looked like a man.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some women are too tall.
The other party had good night vision. He casually glanced around the room and headed straight for the drawer of the coffee table with a clear target. Sometimes Gu Si and Pei Yanning would put the materials they prepared in the drawer...
But, there isn't much use for it, I just wrote some down while I was on the phone.
However, when he moved, Gu Si discovered the trick that he had not noticed just now. The man's footsteps landed lightly and silently, and his breathing contained some familiar patterns. Gu Si's expression paused slightly.
Pei Yanning clearly saw at this moment that Gu Si had the intention to kill. He was slightly surprised and seemed to be thinking about something.
The man had already gone to the desk they used daily, took out a camera, held a flashlight in one hand and the camera in the other, took a backup photo of the information, and then put the information back to its original place.
After doing all this, the other party did not leave, but turned around and went straight into Gu Si and Ling Xi's bedroom.
Gu Si followed him into the house without making a sound.
The man walked forward and reached out to lift the quilt of Lingxi and the others.
Gu Si's eyes suddenly turned cold, "If you don't want to chop off the claws, just do it!"
However, before he could make a move, the other party withdrew his hand, glanced elsewhere, seemed to be looking for something but didn't find it, and turned around and walked out.
Gu Si: “…”
