The true record of a female CEO’s loyal dog

Grandma Gu Xu was very pleased and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you and try the tea you brought. I have long heard that the Shu Group has a tea garden covering an area of ​​3,000 acres in southern Yunnan, and the quality of the tea is quite good." It’s high, but it’s a pity that it’s not available on the market.”

Seeing that Shu Xue was so familiar with her grandmother and didn't need him to worry about anything, Gu Xu moved a chair and sat next to Shu Xue.

He motioned to the servant who brought them gifts to come forward, and sent someone to fetch a tea set.

Shu Xue maintained her usual humble attitude and replied with a smile: "The main reason why our group operates tea gardens is to save hotel operating costs. Most of the tea produced in the tea gardens is made into broken tea fast-moving consumer goods, which cannot be listed on the market. It’s elegant, so it’s not circulating in the market.”

"But the tea garden briefly went through the fine line in the hands of my father for two years. The statement that grandma heard probably came out at that time. The Pu'er I brought today happens to be from the cellar at that time, and I would like to ask grandma to taste it. , let’s see if our group’s tea bearers can bear the praise from the outside world?”

Shu Xue was joking while taking the tea ball from the servant's hand and prying it with a tea needle.

Gu Xu didn't hesitate. He boiled a pot of water for Shu Xue, washed all the tea sets and put them in order.

The air was filled with the faint fragrance of orchid-like tea leaves. Grandma Gu Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath. She looked at the dark brown color of the tea ball and asked Shu Xue: "Is this Shengpu treasured for more than ten years?" ?”

Shu Xue didn't look at the package seal. She just lowered her eyes and thought about it for a moment before replying: "Em...it should have been around for fifteen years."

Shu Xue did not forget to compliment: "It seems that grandma is very knowledgeable."

Grandma Gu Xu pursed her lips slightly, "I don't really understand either. It's just that Gu Xu's grandfather likes to drink. I've been around him and I know a little bit about it."

"But since he passed away, it's been a long time since anyone sat down with me, an old woman, to have tea."

Grandma Gu Xu gently touched Shu Xue's head, her eyes full of melancholy, "It's only thanks to you that I can drink such precious tea today."

Seeing that his grandma was missing her old friend again, Gu Xu was worried that her grandma would be sad and that Shu Xue wouldn't be able to cope with the cold scene. For once, he pretended to be silly, changed the subject, and joked with the two women.

Happy time always flies by, and in a blink of an eye, the three of them have finished their lunch, and it’s two o’clock in the afternoon.

The warm sunlight shines through the stained glass on the white sofa, and golden dust dances in the light pillars formed by the Tyndall effect.

Shu Xue had nothing to do. She leaned against the fireplace and looked at the living room decoration in the direction of the light.

When she first entered the house, Shu Xue noticed that there seemed to be something different about the house. However, she was busy eating at the time and also out of politeness, so she did not look around too much.

At this moment, Shu Xue finally knew where her first feeling came from - there were at least fifty photo frames placed in the living room.

Based on the person's position and degree of intimacy when taking the photo, Shu Xue guessed that the other two unfamiliar faces were Gu Xu's mother and grandfather.

As if deliberately trying to live with the deceased, Grandma Gu Xu integrated the photos into various scenes of her life. Shu Xue naturally imagined the scene of Grandma Gu Xu eating, drinking tea, watering flowers and chatting with these photos when she was at home alone.

lonely.

An extreme loneliness.

It's like the poison has invaded the bone marrow, there is no cure, but it is as sweet as sugar.

Shu Xue couldn't help but sigh. For the first time, she felt love for an old lady she had just known for three hours.

Shu Xue suddenly understood the reason why Mr. Shu had been urging her to marry.

Although Shu Jing and Uncle Yu are with him during the day, in the dead of night, in that old Chinese-style house full of memories, will Grandpa be lonely and unable to sleep because he misses Grandma and his parents?

The answer is yes.

And this kind of loneliness will spread to others with care. Grandpa doesn't want her to be so lonely.

There is no doubt about this.

Shu Xue was wandering in a fugue when a warm and strong hand wrapped around her waist.

Gu Xu followed her line of sight, and there was a hint of worry in his words: "Are you scared? I forgot to tell you in advance..."

Shu Xue shook her head, "I only feel lonely and distressed."

Shu Xue's answer was obviously unexpected by Gu Xu, because the last person he brought home only had horror and rude embarrassment in his eyes.

"I thought you would find the decoration at home strange."

But Gu Xu couldn't say he was surprised. He smiled and the whites of his eyes began to turn red.

Shu Xue pointed to a photo of four people above the fireplace and asked, "Is this your mother?"

Gu Xu just nodded and said nothing.

Shu Xue sighed from the bottom of her heart: "The old saying is indeed true. All sons look like mothers. Brother, your mother is so good-looking, beautiful, dignified and gentle. She must have been a well-known beauty at that time."

Gu Xu sniffed and joked with a choked tone: "My mother's temperament is actually very direct... When she shuts up, she looks like a little girl, but when she opens her mouth, she looks like a heroine."

Gu Xu rubbed the photo frame and his expression turned sad, "If she is still here, you two will get along very well."

Shu Xue gently stroked Gu Xu's cheek and was about to say something to comfort him, but Gu Xu's grandma happened to walk up to the two of them carrying a mahogany mother-of-pearl jewelry box.

"Xiaoxue, come here."

Grandma Gu Xu took Shu Xue's hand and led Shu Xue to sit down on the sofa.

She handed the jewelry box to Gu Xu and arranged: "Axu, come and open it for Xiaoxue."

Gu Xu had already guessed what was inside. He knelt on one knee in front of the coffee table, opened the jewelry box and held it in front of Shu Xue with a smile.

"Would you like to try it now?" Gu Xu's eyes were shining brightly, full of expectation.

He hopes Shu Xue likes it.

A vintage bracelet inlaid with eleven square emeralds lay quietly on the black velvet silk surface. Shu Xue could tell from the gem's faceting technique and the style of the bracelet that it was roughly dated to the late Qing Dynasty.

Shu Xue waved her hands repeatedly, she closed the jewelry box, pushed it back to Grandma Gu Xu, and declined: "This bracelet is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Grandma Gu Xu directly picked up the bracelet and put it on Shu Xue's hand. "What's more valuable? This is a bracelet passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors of the Gu family to our daughter-in-law. It should have been given to you by A Xu's mother." . But his mother is no longer here, so I, an old woman, can only do it for him."

Grandma Gu Xu held Shu Xue's retracted hand, "I saw on the news that the jewelry you wear is worth billions. This bracelet is not that valuable. If you don't want it, you think our Gu family gives it too cheap." .”

Shu Xue knew that Grandma Gu Xu was trying to be aggressive, so she couldn't refuse anymore, so she responded: "Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you Grandma."

"The bracelet is so beautiful, how could I dislike it?"
