Gu Xiaoai quietly did not participate in their conversation. After all, her cousin Ye Jiani was involved in it. She didn't want to say anything, so she just quietly peeled off a piece of orange and fed it to Li Juefeng...
"The second child is just stubborn."
Li Juexi moved the chess pieces in a deep voice. Manwen sat next to him and said, "Ash is actually something that I haven't pursued for too many years."
After Manwen finished speaking, the four of them fell into silence again.
The maids waiting on the side were naturally silent.
Sometimes something without pursuit is very scary. Even if you just want to buy a bag or ice cream, it is just a small expectation. If you have expectations, you will move towards the goal.
But Li Juesi has been gone for too many years and has been living a life of a walking zombie, and everyone can see clearly.
Suddenly letting the face of Ye Jiani break into Li Juesi's world is equivalent to reopening Li Juesi's desire to be buried alive. An out-of-control desire, with all the regrets, including being buried alive.
Hate that is torn apart alive.
It's just that they all thought that things could be controlled. Li Juesi was always cynical and laughing until he shot himself and left the Li family manor.
Everyone discovered that the feelings hidden and locked in the tomb by Li Juesi were deeper than anyone imagined.
…
Gu Xiaoai watched them play chess quietly. She couldn't understand, and she knew that they didn't seem to be in a hurry to win or lose, they just kept moving the chess pieces in their hands.
Gu Xiaoai also vaguely knew that Li Juexi and Manwen came to the country this time just to settle Li Juexi's matter.
But how to settle it...
Gu Xiaoai raised her eyes to look at Li Juexi's steady face that was in control of the overall situation, and suddenly felt a little scared in her heart. Maybe all the exits would be with her cousin...
*************************
After a long time, the four of them went to rest. It was the first time for Manwen to come to the Li family villa, so Gu Xiaoai took her for a casual look.
"It's good. It has everything. It's me and I like living here. After all, the manor is too big and it's so calm."
Manwen said sincerely.
After Li Juexi took over the consortium, he didn't have much time to spend with her, which made her somewhat disappointed.
A woman guards a city. No matter how many people come and go in the city, if there is nothing she wants to see, she will only feel empty.
"Then live longer and live a life of two with your eldest brother."
Gu Xiaoai smiled slightly, said goodbye to Manwen, and returned to the room.
When Li Juefeng came out of the shower, Gu Xiaoai was sitting on the sofa and sent a text message to Ye Jiani. She wrote and deleted Chinese characters one by one, and in the end there was only one sentence left -
[I will send someone to protect you secretly. No matter what happens, I will still have my sister.]
Gu Xiaoai didn't know what she was worried about. Li Juexi was a gentleman, but the Li family had its own set of rules. Cruel treatment of people had nothing to do with conscience, it was just right in their eyes.
Ye Jiani quickly responded to the text message——
【Sister, I can handle it.】
Gu Xiaoai looked at Ye Jiani's text message and slowly put down her phone.
Li Juefeng only wore a bath towel around his waist. He was tall and solid, with half-wet hair. He held a watch on his fingertips and handed it to her, "Put it on!"
"It's time to go to sleep."
"Put it on!" Li Juefeng's tone was very arrogant.
"Aren't you afraid of getting uncomfortable?" Gu Xiaoai looked at him, she liked the watch she gave him so much that she wore it even when sleeping.
