"Has the money been stolen?" Gong Hongjie's eyes were soft, "For this, we are close relatives, a family, you always be so polite to see each other."

Bai Siqi still refused to ask for it, so Gong Hongjie forced her into her arms, "It will be here soon, let the people of the Xun family see us pushing each other like this to make a comeback."

Then Bai Siqi held the wallet in her hand and said with her head down, "Thank you so much."

"Thank you for saying thank you, I'm so angry." Gong Hongjie said deliberately with a frown.

Bai Siqi pursed her lips and smiled gently. She felt that Gong Hongjie was looking at her, but she turned her body and didn't dare to look up. "I owe you too much, don't let me say thank you. I really don't know what to do?"

"Then next time you treat me to a meal, I will think you thank me."

Bai Siqi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal next time."

She opened the car window and looked out, and said to the driver, "Go to the path next to it, let's go in by the side door."

"yes."

In the dark car, Gong Hongjie's eyes flashed and he said nothing.

Bai Siqi took the initiative to say, "It's late, I'm afraid that others will talk nonsense and ruin your reputation."

Gong Hongjie didn't point it out, but just smiled gently and said, "I know you're good to me."

Bai Siqi's face turned red and she quickly turned to look outside the car.

The car stopped outside the side door of Xun's house. When he got off the car, Bai Siqi packed the money into his pocket and turned to Gong Hongjie and said, "You go back. It's too late, so I won't invite you to sit at home."

Gong Hongjie stood in front of the car and said with a smile, "Go in, don't forget to talk about treating me to dinner. I'll pick you up in two days."

Bai Siqi nodded slightly, "You go back."

Gong Hongjie didn't bother him much, turned around and left the car.

Bai Siqi looked around and saw that there was no one, and led Xixi's hand to the door next to her.

At this time, Sister Xin was looking for an opportunity to say to Gu Jin, "Madam Shen, the driver who took Comrade Bai out today came back early, saying that someone else had picked Comrade Bai away. I just went to the next building to take a look, Comrade Bai hasn't come back yet."

"Who picked it up?" Gu Jin asked.

Sister Xin shook her head, "The driver is not sure, and she said the other party's employee came to notify him."

Gu Jin frowned immediately, "Why don't you ask clearly and ask someone to pick him up?"

Sister Xin said, "I have asked the driver. He knows that Comrade Bai hasn't come back yet, and he is also scared now."

Gu Jin stood up uneasyly. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Bai Siqi followed her husband to join her relatives. Who can I know in Beijing? It would be better not to have any trouble. The driver who took her out was arranged by her. If something happened, she would explain to Shen Qingsong.

"Go to Bo Siqi to have a look." Gu Jin took Sister Xin out. If Bo Siqi hasn't come back yet, she would send someone out to find her right now.

As soon as she and Sister Xin walked downstairs, Bai Siqi led Xixi and happened to come back.

Sister Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately she was back.

"Gu Jin, why are you here?" Bai Siqi said hello warmly, and Xixi also called out to aunt obediently.

The dusk was deep and the courtyard was deep. Gu Jin watched Bai Siqi and his daughter approaching, and saw that they looked red and moist, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

"The driver said someone took you there, but I haven't come back yet. I'm worried about coming over and taking a look." Gu Jin said with a faint smile.

Bai Siqi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm back late, I'm worried. Tell Qingsong, I'm fine."

Gu Jin's eyes were clear, "Siqi, do you still know someone else in Beijing?"

Bai Siqi hurriedly said, "It's Xixi's cousin at his father and aunt's house. We came to them before. Today, Xixi and I went out to buy things and happened to meet them. They insisted on treating me and Xixi to a meal. It was hard to refuse the affection, so Xixi and I went there."

Gu Jin nodded, "So that's how it is."

Bai Siqi explained, "We went to their house before and didn't see my cousin. My cousin's wife didn't know that we were relatives of my aunt's house, so she did not take us in. Today, she explained it clearly, and it was all misunderstandings."

Gu Jin chuckled, "That's good, you are tired, go back and rest."

"Come in and sit down." Bai Siqi said warmly.

"I won't go, I'll talk to you another day."

The two said goodbye downstairs, Gu Jin turned around and walked back, Bai Siqi stood there, staring at Gu Jin's figure and disappeared in the corner, then lowered her eyelids and led Xixi upstairs.

In the study, Duan Yanghong was writing with Shen Qingsong. When he saw Gu Jin coming in, he immediately turned around and said, "Mom, where have you been?"

Shen Qingsong also looked up.

Gu Jin told the story of Bai Siqi's late return.

Shen Qingsong said, "She is not a child, can she be lost? You have to go find her in person."

Gu Jin sat in the stove and roasted the fire, saying indifferently, "You can't say that. She is a woman after all. If something happens, we can't blame him."

Shen Qingsong came over, sat down beside her, and looked at her side, "What else is there?"

Gu Jin laughed in surprise. He had something to do in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Shen Qingsong could tell at a glance.

She picked up a few pieces of charcoal fires that did not smoke and put them in the grilling stove, and then slowly said, "Bo Siqi told me just now that her cousin from her husband and aunt's house invited her to dinner today, and explained that it was a misunderstanding that they did not recognize each other before, but I think it's not that simple."

"Hmm?" Shen Qingsong turned his eyes and looked over.

"If they had driven them out if they didn't know their identity at that time, why did the Gong family never look for them afterwards, and even Bai Siqi's husband died." Gu Jin put his slender hands beside the stove and roasted the fire, and said slowly, "During this period, Xun Wan has taken Bai Siqi out a lot. Maybe the people of the Gong family know that Bai Siqi is living in the Xun family now and are interested in trying to win her over again."

Shen Qingsong said, "The cousin of her husband's house is Gong Yibin?"

"Do you know?" Gu Jin said.

“A little impression.”

"Then you pay more attention to Gong Yibin. He must have something to do when he gets close to Bai Siqi." Gu Jin said.

Shen Qingsong's eyes were slightly deeper, and he nodded slowly after a while.

The next day, Shen Qingsong got up late, washed up and dressed and went to the military region. When he left the Xun family gate, it was almost dawn. In the morning, he saw a figure waiting there.

"Siqi?" Shen Qingsong frowned slightly.

Bai Siqi was wearing thick clothes and a layer of morning mist on her hair. It seemed that she had been waiting here for a while.

Seeing Shen Qingsong, she slowly turned around, looking very gentle, "Qingsong."

"Is there anything wrong?" Shen Qingsong asked indifferently.

Bai Siqi took two steps forward and gave Shen Qingsong the hot water bag in her hand, "The car is cold, you can bring this with you."

"No." Shen Qingsong didn't answer.

Bai Siqi lowered her eyes, "Qingsong, why are you always so polite to me? When we were young, we played together every day, worry-free and did not distinguish between each other. Can't we go back to such a day?"

Shen Qingsong said, "We have all grown up, so we can't be the same as when we were young."

"Are you so polite when you grow up?" Bai Siqi's tone was dim.

"No, you're thinking too much, I usually do this, you know." Shen Qingsong slowed down his tone.

Bai Siqi smiled, "Yes, you have been steady since you were a child, like an adult."

She paused for a moment and continued, "I came back late yesterday when the Gong family invited me to dinner. Gu Jin told you if I did. When I came back, I was not very happy.

If she doesn't like me to get close to the Gong family, I will not see them from now on. Anyway, my husband is gone, and I have nothing to do with them."

Shen Qingsong glanced at the street lights not far away, and the sound was slightly cool in the morning mist in the winter, "She was not unhappy, and she didn't say anything. It was because you were thinking too much. It was up to you to decide how you and the Gong family moved, and it had nothing to do with others."

"It's good that Gu Jin is not unhappy. That's because I'm thinking too much." Bai Siqi looked up and her eyes were soft. "The Gong family was very uneasy when they knew that my husband died. They apologized yesterday and didn't say anything else."

"Yes." Shen Qingsong's handsome face was a little blurred in the fog, and he couldn't see clearly the joy and anger.

"You go to work quickly. I won't delay you anymore. I'll wait for you to come back to have dinner together in the evening." Bai Siqi said with a smile.

"We're back late, don't wait, you and Xixi eat first."

"Don't worry, we two are so lonely when we eat, and we are still lively together." Bai Siqi waved her hand, "You go quickly."

Shen Qingsong nodded, turned around and strode out.

Bai Siqi looked at the man's back as he strided away, and his eyes were dark. Shen Qingsong knew that she had met the Gong family yesterday, so what else did Gu Jin say?
