nosy on you

luxury club

Dad left the apartment in disgrace, looking at the stains all over the floor in a daze, as if those messy shoe prints had stepped on his face, the dirty appearance made him feel ashamed.

He and Gu Xi put the jewelry in the drawer together. There are only two of them in this room, and they have never been locked.

This is called luring the wolf into the house.

Dad probably searched every room quickly while he was answering the phone. As for whether he stole other things, I don’t know. If he came out ten seconds later, the pen would definitely be stolen. go along.

In addition to feeling ashamed, all he had left in his heart was utter disappointment.

After performing such a good show, Dad probably won't come to him again, but he doesn't feel relieved. Guilt and fear are like two mountains, weighing him down.

Would Gu Xi suspect that he and his father teamed up to do some shitty things?

It's not good to steal anything, but you actually set your sights on the relics left by Gu Xi's mother. If you really let him sell it, it can't be solved by losing money. If you knew it, you shouldn't have let him into the house just now.

"You didn't give him money, did you..." Gu Xi put the gold utensils back in the drawer, walked to the sofa and sat down next to him, "This kind of person is not worthy of pity, if you give him once, there will be a second time, forever endless."

"I'm sorry." Yan Jing lowered his eyelids, lowered his head and rubbed his fingers.

"He was the one who stole, why are you apologizing?" Gu Xi clicked his tongue.

"But he's my father..." Biting his lip rigorously, he spoke with difficulty, "He wasn't like this before."

"He is him, you are you..." Gu Xi patted him on the shoulder, his tone was quite gentle, as if he was deliberately taking care of his emotions, "I don't know you yet, to be honest, you don't at all Like his son."

Strictly sighed, with helplessness in his voice: "I'm going to cook, you check to see if there are other things stolen, and then make a list, and I will compensate you."

Unlike a fart, the relationship between father and son cannot be changed. As the saying goes, a son doesn't think his mother is ugly. He knows he shouldn't have this kind of thought, but if he had a choice, he would rather be an orphan who was completely abandoned.

"I know you're in a bad mood, so I'm here to cook today..." Gu Xi dragged him back to the sofa, "I promised to cook you a meal before, but I never kept it, just open your mouth and wait to eat."

"Ah? Can't you just shut up and wait..." Yan Yan smiled, "You have to cook for at least two hours, and you probably won't be able to serve the table if your jaw is dislocated."

"Okay, shut up..." Gu Xi pointed at him, "One more thing, I'll dislocate your jaw right now."

Yan Jing lay on the window sill and smoked a cigarette, watching the sun set slowly, the sky turned from white to dark, and the light strips of tall buildings in the distance lit up, time slipped away unknowingly, as if in the blink of an eye .

This long-lost feeling only appeared in the first two years when my parents left. Every day after finishing homework, he would overlook the downstairs through the glass, looking forward to the reappearance of the car that brought him here.

For a long time, waiting was as important as eating and sleeping. It wasn't until his aunt told him that the car had been sold to someone else together with the family house, and he realized that no matter how long he waited, no one would come to pick him up.

Since then, he has learned to fill the idle time with busyness and drive away expectations.

So the moment he saw his father, he didn't have a strong feeling in his heart, and it wasn't even as shocking as the scene when his father took out those gold utensils from his pocket.

"Dinner is ready..." Gu Xi had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and when he returned to the restaurant with two plates, it was past seven o'clock, "The freshly baked steak is still hot."

"The bread is just out of the oven..." Yan Yan snuffed out the cigarette butt, pulled out the chair and sat at the table, "Did you make it in the oven?"

"The freshly cooked steak is still hot." Gu Xi immediately corrected his words and said it again.

"Is there anything else? It took you two hours to fry two steaks. How inefficient!"

Yan Jing laughed, his mouth was a little numb, and he didn't feel hungry, but he was very curious about what was on the dinner plate.

"It's called slow work and careful work..." Gu Xi raised his eyebrows proudly, and lifted the cover, "Dangdang."

In the middle of the white dinner plate are two pieces of charred and blackened steaks, and a few lumps of carrot pudding in different shapes are sprinkled on the uncooked macaroni. The broccoli is cooked, but it is chopped very finely, a bit like the countryside Hogweed formerly used to feed pigs.

Perhaps to cover up the failed craftsmanship, Gu Xi put a lot of black pepper juice on the plate, which smelled a little pungent.

"It looks like I'm full..." Yan Jing hesitated for a few seconds holding a knife and fork, "Can you replace it with instant noodles?"

"You fucking don't know what to do..." Gu Xi yelled under his throat, "This is the first time I've cooked for others in a serious way when I grow up, and I ruined a few pieces of it..."

He fell silent halfway through the roar, and lowered his head with a blushing face, as if a little embarrassed.

"Why are you so fierce..." Yan Jin cut a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, "I'll die if I die, at most, I'll go to the emergency room in the middle of the night."

To be honest, the taste is very unpalatable, the surface is burnt and old, salty, and the inside is bloodshot and unappetizing.

But this dinner made him feel full of emotion, and he still had endless aftertaste after pouring three cups of cold water in succession.

Keiko's behavior today is a bit strange. Every half an hour, she will go to the window facing the street and look out. She hasn't stopped all morning, and occasionally she will talk to herself.

"What's wrong with you..." Xiao Xin leaned against the bar and looked at her, "Did your boyfriend come to pick you up so early?"

"No, there was a man on the opposite side of the square staring at our store two days ago..." Keiko whispered, "I was wondering if the thief was there, but now it's gone, it's strange."

"Maybe I'm waiting for someone..." Xiao Xin disagreed, "I wouldn't choose a cafe for burglary."

The string in Yan Jing's mind instantly tightened. The two of them should be talking about Dad. I didn't expect that I, a big man, was not as vigilant as Keiko. It was really dangerous, even if I was stabbed with a knife, it seemed like a dream. .

When he went out in the morning, he paid special attention to the road, and he was relieved to make sure that no one was following him.

The consumption in the provincial capital is not low. Since I can't get any benefits, my father has no reason to stay here, so he probably has already gone back.

"Xiao Yan..." Huizi called out three times, "What are you thinking, there are customers in the office building in the block ahead who ordered two takeaways, can I trouble you to make a trip?"

"No problem, I'll go now." Yan Jing snapped back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

The address on the receipt is very close to the store, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.

Holding two cups of coffee, he found the magnificent building at the intersection. This building has more than 30 floors. Building A has gathered many well-known enterprises in the city. Building B has a five-star hotel. Luxurious clubhouse.

It happened to be lunch time at this point. When the takeaway was delivered and passed the clubhouse, several luxury cars were queuing up at the entrance of the parking lot. Finally, two people got off the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, and one of them looked familiar from the back.

Isn't that dad? !

He was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, with a crumpled white T-shirt and greasy hair. He looked particularly sloppy. The fat middle-aged man next to him formed a sharp contrast with him.

The door of this clubhouse is made of a whole piece of silver tempered glass, there is a sculpture fountain in the middle of the hall, the decoration is European-style palace style, and the golden interior dazzles people's eyes.

Although the rigorousness has never been in, but just because of this style, you can guess that the grade is definitely not low.

Dad had just finished crying poor in front of him, why did he suddenly have money to spend here? Could it be that he was just putting on a show before, but if it wasn't desperate, why bother to do something sneaky.

Yan Jing quietly followed them into the lobby. The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with the account manager here, and after a few simple explanations, he led his father to the private room on the second floor.

He leaned against the side ladder and hid for a while, but he was stopped by the people behind him before he could take a step forward.

"What are you doing..." Xu Rui came out from the water bar on the left, looked up and glanced at the corner of the stairs, "Is the staff meal provided by Liang Le terrible, come here to improve the food?"

"No, no, I'm here to deliver food..." Yan Jing waved his hand and made an excuse, "Leave right away."

"Every coffee shop in the club..." Xu Rui ruthlessly exposed his lie, "And you can't take out drinks here."

Strict and squeaky, it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "If you want to take care of it, I will come whenever I want."

"It's not a good habit to cover up a guilty conscience with anger..." Xu Rui laughed, pointing to the second floor and asking, "Do you know those two people?"

"Probably misidentified..." Yan Jing shook his head, "What are you doing here again?"

He didn't want too many people to know about the situation at home. After all, it was not something glorious, and the relationship between the two of them was not good enough to talk about everything.

"I just finished negotiating a business with a client..." Xu Rui glanced at his watch, "Are you free? I'll treat you to lunch."

"No time..." Yan Jing immediately refused, "I'm at work."

You don't have to worry about talking to Xu Rui. He has always been very measured in the scale of communication, and he will never be rude to break the casserole and ask the end. His ability to observe words and emotions is even more excellent.

But the last time he deliberately ridiculed Gu Xi's bad behavior is still vivid in his memory, Yan Jing always feels a knot in his heart.

"It's okay, I'll tell Liang Le..." Xu Rui took out his phone and sent a message, "Come with me."

"You are too domineering, and I didn't agree..." Yan Jing stood still, "If you ask for leave, your salary will be deducted."

"I'll pay you back ten times as much as you deducted, that's okay..." Xu Rui looked at him for a while, then pressed his voice in his ear and lowered his voice, "Wait for me to carry you upstairs, if you are not afraid of people watching, I will no problem."

Sighing rigorously, he followed him into the Chinese and Western restaurants on the right side of the second floor. On the left side of the stairs is the box of the clubhouse. Looking past, all the doors are closed, and no movement can be heard.

Xu Rui picked a table by the window, and not long after he was seated, the waiter handed over two menus.

"Why don't you eat in another place..." Yan Jing was stunned when he turned to the first page. A piece of local chicken in a crockpot cost 390. This place is probably a black shop. He leaned over and whispered, "It's so expensive..."

"Don't worry, I brought the money." Xu Rui also replied in a low voice, and then ordered the dishes by himself.

"I thought you would order Western food..." Yan Jing roughly calculated the price of the dishes, at least thousands of them, "The rich are luxury."

"I'm tired of eating abroad, Chinese food is better..." Xu Rui paused for two seconds, "I'm sorry about what happened that day, I didn't think about what I said, and it caused everyone to break up, so this meal should be regarded as an apology. "

"It's been so long, why bring it up." Yan Jing said.

Come on, you're not a brainless person.

He didn't say this. Xu Rui's attitude was very sincere. If he continued to chase and fight, he would appear cautious. If he wanted to pretend to be stupid, then everyone would pretend to be stupid, and no one would suffer.

"I heard that it will be Gu Xi's birthday in two months. Have you decided what gift you want to give him?" Xu Rui asked.

"Ah? I haven't decided yet..." Yan Jing frowned, "It's still early, and there is no rush."

It must have been said by that big mouth of Chang Feng again.

He really wanted to pick an expensive gift within an affordable price range for Gu Xi, but he was not good at luxury goods at all, so he could only ask Chang Feng to give him an idea, who would have known the things that guy listed Tens of thousands at every turn.

The bank card given by my aunt cannot be moved, but the little salary he saved is not enough at all.

"Are you worrying about money..." Xu Rui said, "I can introduce you to earn extra money, it depends on whether you are willing or not."

"What extra money?" Yan Jing quickly tightened his collar, "I don't sell myself."

"Where do you want to go..." Xu Rui leaned on the sofa and laughed, "You know the brand D&L, they are recruiting autumn and winter print models, are you interested?"

Looking at him rigorously, hesitated for five seconds, and couldn't help but ask, "Can I do it?"
