After listening to what the servant said, Gu Anan understood something.
This is an uninvited guest.
Naturally, it was impossible for Huo Siting to let Meng Xiao come to his door.
But Meng Xiao still appeared here, which was tantamount to trespassing on a man's territory.
This is simply Chi Guoguo's provocation.
Gu An'an subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Huo Siting.
Listening to the servant's words, Huo Siting's attitude was nonchalant and he said, "Really? It seems that he is an honored guest."
Distinguished guest...
These two words came out of Huo Siting's mouth. Although his tone was very calm, Gu An'an could still hear a bit of yin and yang.
I wanted to laugh a little, but now was definitely not the time to laugh, so Gu Anan held it back again.
She took the initiative and said: "I will go shopping elsewhere by myself, and you can entertain the distinguished guests."
Gu An'an wanted to go with Huo Siting, but she thought of this man's petty jealousy, and he didn't really want to see Meng Xiao's face, so he took the initiative to avoid it.
Huo Siting paused, looked at her, and then said: "Don't walk around here casually, I will be back soon, okay?"
Are you worried about her running around?
She is an adult, not a three-year-old child.
Gu Anan couldn't help but said: "...Why don't you bring me an orange when you come back later?"
"Oranges? Oranges are too sour. You should eat less of them now."
"I think some people don't seem to eat less sour things." Gu An'an couldn't help but said: "Some people like to eat sour things, and they only eat oranges, but some people just drink vinegar."
"You're wrong." Huo Siting stretched out his slender and strong fingers, brushed the calloused fingertips against Gu Anan's soft lips and said suddenly, "Some people actually prefer to eat something sweet than to be jealous.
, it just depends on whether some people are willing to cooperate..."
Gu Anan didn't expect that Huo Siting would fight back against him like this.
She quickly slapped his hand away and said, "Okay, what are you doing with your hands and feet? You still have business to do, so go ahead and do it, lest you blame me for bringing you down with gossip and scold me for my beauty and your ruin."
"
Gu Anan pushed Huo Siting forward.
Logically speaking, Gu Anan was not strong enough to push Huo Siting, but the man took two steps forward cooperatively and said, "Some people are bad by nature, why should we worry about being led astray? I don't think it's appropriate for beauty to bring disaster.
, colluding with each other may be more appropriate."
Good guy.
Gu Anan casually said "beautiful women bring disaster", at least "beautiful women" sounds nice.
Huo Siting immediately came up with a heavyweight "cooperating with each other", and both of them immediately became bad people.
"You really know how to talk, don't say anything next time." Gu Anan couldn't help but say.
After seeing Huo Siting off, Gu Anan was ready to go shopping elsewhere.
A servant looked at Gu Anan, hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Gu Anan asked, raising an eyebrow.
The servant said: "Madam, in fact, in addition to Master Meng who wants to see the Third Master, Master Meng's fiancée also wants to see you..."
Not only is Meng Xiao here, but Meng Xiao’s fiancée is also here?
Gu Anan thought of Ye Xinran's face before. Even if she explained her married status, Ye Xinran still couldn't avoid all kinds of suspicions and warnings.
Gu Anan didn't think anything good would happen if he wanted to meet her at this time. It was just some casual talk, or he wanted to win over her for the sake of the cooperation between the Huo family and the Meng family.
Gu Anan didn't have this idea, so he refused directly, "No see."
"But, it is Miss Ye after all." The servant said with some disapproval: "The Meng family and the Huo family are now in a cooperative relationship. Logically speaking, Madam always has to give some face, right?"
The servants in the Huo family's old house have all worked in the Huo family for many years, so they speak more boldly.
What's more, Gu An'an has just arrived. Even if Huo Siting is very protective, when Huo Siting is not around, these servants will not truly respect her from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, Mr. Huo has not admitted that even if he now lives in the Huo family's old house, he may not necessarily be Huo Siting's wife and the head matron of the Huo family in the eyes of these people.
Gu Anan smiled and said, "Face must be earned by oneself, not given by others. I am timid by nature and don't like to meet outsiders. If you must meet, wait until Si Ting comes back."
"But..." The servant wanted to say something else.
Gu Anan didn't intend to say anything more to the servant, turned around and left.
"You don't have to follow me. I've almost figured out the way around me just now. I'll walk alone."
Although the servant was not polite to Gu An'an, he was not a fool either. He knew that Gu An'an was impatient, so he did not continue to follow her to feel unhappy.
After all, although Gu Anan's identity is still very ambiguous and has not been fully recognized, she does have the blood of the Huo family in her belly.
For the sake of their children, even if the Huo family doesn't like Gu An'an, they will always save the last bit of face in the end, so as not to let others step on her head and lose the Huo family's face.
Gu Anan walked far away alone, and when he looked back, no one else followed him, so he finally felt a lot calmer.
The Huo family is worthy of being a rich family with a history of hundreds of years, and every part of the old house is carefully decorated.
As Gu Anan walked along the way, he couldn't help but take a lot of photos, thinking about sharing them when he visited his mother in the hospital bed, or sending them to Wen Yang to see.
Wen Yang's legs are injured now, so he can't leave too far away.
She is free-spirited by nature and would definitely feel bored in the Wen family. She should like the scenery here in the Huo family.
With this in mind, Gu Anan sent her a copy of all the photos he took.
She was lowering her head to send the message when she heard a voice coming from behind her.
"Don't be too fascinated, and be careful of the insects nearby."
Gu Anan was startled, turned around subconsciously, and saw the man appearing behind her.
Wearing a plain Tang suit, he was sitting in a wheelchair, his legs covered with a thin blanket, and a pair of eyes looked towards him.
The second master of the Huo family, Huo Siwen.
Huo Siwen was born to Mr. Huo's first wife. The first wife was gentle and graceful, so Huo Siwen's appearance and temperament were more gentle and elegant, refreshing and eye-catching, like the green bamboos dotted with dewdrops after the rain.
.
Compared with Huo Siting's sharp edges and deep facial features, as well as the strong aura emanating from his body, he seemed more approachable and not too dangerous.
Gu Anan was stunned subconsciously. He did not expect that Huo Siwen would appear here. He subconsciously looked around and asked, "Master Huo? Why are you here?"
"Er Master Huo? Isn't this title a bit too foreign?"
Huo Siwen smiled and was very polite to Gu An'an. Seeing her confused expression, he said, "My residence is nearby. The bamboo forest behind you was planted by my mother during her lifetime. I often
Come and take a look.”
"However, although the servants are very careful, the Huo family's old residence is originally a place with several mountains connected together, not to mention a large bamboo forest, which will inevitably attract insects and snakes. You'd better be careful."
"There's a snake?!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Anan's expression suddenly changed.
Just now, she felt that the lush bamboo forest in front of her was refreshing and refreshing. After learning that there might be scary insects and snakes in it, she immediately backed away as if she had encountered some savage beast, and opened a long distance away.
Huo Siwen: "..."
"It seems that you are indeed afraid of these things." Huo Siwen's tone was calm, but the corners of his lips were still slightly raised, and he seemed to find it a little interesting.
"Aren't insects and snakes scary?" Gu Anan couldn't help but ask.
At this time, she had returned to the bluestone road. Looking at Huo Siwen who was still in the bamboo forest, she couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid? Or is it inconvenient for you to push the wheelchair by yourself? Do you want my help?"
"
"No, I can do it myself." Huo Siwen said, "I'm just saying it's possible. In fact, even if there are insects and snakes, they're not that scary."
Gu Anan looked disapproving.
Are there any creatures more terrifying than snakes in the world?
Especially bugs.
Last night, Gu Anan encountered a flying cockroach. If Huo Siting hadn't been with him, he would have had a nightmare.
Huo Siwen actually said it wasn't scary?
Huo Siwen looked at Gu Anan's expression. Although he didn't say anything, his palm-sized face was wrinkled together.
There wasn’t much expression management. Although he didn’t say much, the expression on his face seemed to say everything——
"I have never seen such a terrifying human being in my life. He is not afraid of insects and snakes."
Huo Siwen smiled and said, "It's really not that scary. Don't you think these insects, snakes and beasts are actually nothing compared to people's hearts?"
Compared with insects, snakes and beasts, what is more terrifying is actually the human heart.
Huo Siwen didn't talk much on weekdays.
However, it was probably because being in the familiar bamboo forest made Huo Siwen feel relaxed. In addition, he could also see that Gu Anan's mind was simple, unlike those who were hypocritical and hypocritical.
Therefore, Huo Siwen spoke calmly again: "The human heart is more unpredictable than ghosts and gods. You are still young and may not understand these truths. However, it is always right to be more wary of the people around you than to be wary of insects, snakes and beasts..."
Having said this, Huo Siwen paused for a moment and seemed to think of something before continuing: "Even if you are sleeping with someone, it is best to have some reservations."
Pillow person?
Gu Anan originally didn't understand the reason why Huo Siwen suddenly appeared here and talked to him so much.
However, when Huo Siwen said these words, Gu Anan understood.
She is indeed still young, and her mother has been protecting her for so many years, so she has not experienced too much wind and rain. Although she knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, it is still a bit difficult to guard against her.
only……
Huo Siwen also specifically mentioned the "pillow person".
Besides Huo Siting, who else can Gu Anan have next to her now?
"Do you mean to remind me to be careful about Huo Siting?" Gu Anan asked.
Huo Siwen was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect that Gu Anan would ask such a straightforward question.
After all, for so many years, the people in front of Huo Siwen have always been more or less disguised.
Perhaps it was because of his status as a member of the Huo family that he was respectful and flattering, or perhaps because of his status as a disabled person with pity and disdain.
All in all, the conversations were circuitous.
Compared with the sophistication of the eldest brother Huo Siyin, Huo Siwen was really tired of dealing with him, so he lived in the mountains all year round. If it weren't for Mr. Huo's birthday party, he would not have chosen to come back.
I didn't expect to meet someone as straightforward as Gu An'an.
Seeing Huo Siwen's surprised expression, Gu Anan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, "Are you listening to me?"
Huo Siwen came back to her senses and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to ask that."
Gu Anan looked confused.
"Didn't you initiate this topic? So I took advantage of the situation and asked, is this strange?"
Huo Siwen pondered for a moment, "It doesn't seem strange to say so."
"It's just that, logically speaking, most people won't listen so easily. They either pretend to be deaf or dumb, or they suspect that I have ulterior motives."
Gu Anan said: "Then do you really have ulterior motives?"
"..."
Another such a straightforward question.
Huo Siwen was silent for a moment, looking at Gu Anan with a somewhat complicated look.
"You are different from what I imagined."
Gu Anan saw that Huo Siwen didn't want to answer his question and was deliberately changing the subject, and had no intention of continuing to ask.
Seeing that Huo Siwen was Huo Siting's second brother, she gave him some face and said cooperatively: "Then what did you imagine?"
"Based on what I know about Si Ting, he rarely gets along with people, let alone women. But you are the only woman who can stay by his side, and he is somewhat special to you."
"I thought you were very obedient and followed all his wishes. After all, for those who have a strong desire to control, they choose a partner that is more in line with their personality."
Huo Siwen's words were relatively tactful.
Gu Anan knew what he really wanted to express, which was that he didn't really look like a wealthy lady.
There is no polite words like gentleness and politeness of a wealthy lady.
And his personality isn't very good either.
"Be obedient?" Gu An'an felt a little curious, "Did you not know me well before?"
"Um?"
"Before I became Huo Siting's wife, I was still the fiancée of your nephew Huo Yuntian." Gu An'an did not shy away from her past, after all, it did happen.
Although that experience didn't make Gu Anan feel very happy, he didn't want to hide it, thinking that it was a dark history that he couldn't tell.
Huo Siwen was stunned immediately.
"Yeah?"
really……
Looking at Huo Siwen's expression, Gu An'an immediately understood that this second master Huo indeed lived in the mountains and rarely had contact with outsiders.
Without the Internet, there would be no news to gossip about, so naturally one would not know those things about her.
"You and Yuntian were still an unmarried couple before?" Huo Siwen seemed a little surprised.
"Yes." Gu Anan smiled and nodded, "Do you want to know the specific cause, process and result?"
"Of course..." Before Huo Siwen could finish speaking.
Gu Anan had a cold face again, "Of course I won't tell you. Since you don't understand me, you can understand now. I am a very petty and vindictive person. You just deliberately sow discord and made me very unhappy.
For the sake of you being an elder, don’t say this kind of thing again, you know?”
