"Eh? What happened to your hand? " Madam Gu grabbed Gu Xi Jue and asked.

Originally, he thought that his hand could successfully attract his mother's attention. However, when he said he was fine, his mother nodded in relief, "I'll get Sister Li to make you some pig bone soup. What's the point of eating it?"

"..." Gu Xi Jue frowned as he looked at his mother. It was a good thing to be in the forward wing, but it was better than being in the forward wing!

After he finished speaking, Gu Xi Jue turned and looked at Xiao Ze, "Gu Xiao Ze, why didn't you go to school today?"

Originally, Xiao Ze was having fun, but after hearing his father's question, he was so scared that he immediately sat up straight. His shiny black eyes wandered around, thinking for a while, before deciding to sell out his grandmother.

"Grandma won't let me go." Xiao Ze pitifully raised his head and looked at his grandmother.

Madam Gu supported her forehead, this little trick.

Gu Xi Jue suspiciously looked at his mother, then looked at Xiao Ze's pair of bright eyes, and ordered solemnly: "Write the Three Character Classic three times, I'll check it tonight."

"Daddy …" Xiao Ze looked at him pitifully, wanting to beg for forgiveness. But when he saw the cast on his father's hands, he asked him with concern, "Father, are you injured?"

"Yes."

"Does it hurt?"

"Yes."

"Did you go to the hospital?"

"Yes." Nonsense, otherwise who would have hit him with the plaster?

"Daddy …"

Before Xiao Ze could finish his question, he was mercilessly cut off by him, "Even if you're worried about me right now, you still have to write it in secret."

Xiao Ze sat down in frustration, nothing could escape his father's eyes.

"Dad, is the beautiful aunt injured?" Xiao Ze asked with even more concern.

"No, if it wasn't to save her, I wouldn't have been injured." Gu Xi Jue grumbled, his tone sounding extremely disgusted.

When the Madam Gu, who was pretending to look after the flowers and plants heard this, her spirits rose. "Look and see, she even said that it's okay, it's okay, will you save her?"

"What if I see her being hit?" Gu Xi Jue frowned and retorted. He was the one who was happy when his mother tied him and Xia Lan together, right?

"That's right. If it was someone you don't care about, you would rather watch her die than bother with her." Madam Gu said with a serious expression.

"..." Gu Xi Jue sighed, so in his mother's eyes, he was such a person, it was hard for her to raise him up.

The next day, Xia Lan was called by the alarm clock before dawn. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt like she was facing the end of the world.

Is there anything worse than being woken up in your sleep?

After a simple wash, he didn't even have time to put on makeup, and directly took his bag out of the room.

However, just as Gu Xi Jue had expected, the bus and the place were not ready to run yet. There were some cabs, but after hearing that she was going to the most luxurious villa area in A city, the cab drivers all moved in unison, waving their hands and not going.

Xia Lan was so angry that she stomped her feet on the ground, another taxi stopped in front of her, she gave her the address, and the answer was the same. Xia Lan did not let the taxi driver leave, but asked the driver: "Why are the taxis not going that way, is there a problem over there?"

"It's not a problem. It's not worth it to go over there. There are rich families over there with cars. No one is taking a taxi. It's not worth it to come back empty-handed!"

Only now did Xia Lan understand that it was because of this reason that she had been rejected so many times, causing her to freeze outside for so long.

"Master, look, send me over. I'll give you more money to get back to the city, okay?" Xia Lan was willing to go for broke, even if it meant paying more money than her being scolded at a later time by Gu Xi Jue.

"Okay, get in." Since he was earning so much money, the driver naturally accepted the orders.

Once they were in the car, Xia Lan urged them: "I'll have to trouble you, can you hurry up?"

"Alright, it's not the peak time. There are too few cars. I'll try to drive as fast as possible." The driver was also very easy-going and didn't complain.

Along the way, Xia Lan yawned continuously. She was so sleepy that her eyelids were trembling.

When they arrived, Xia Lan paid the driver an extra 20 yuan.

Knocking on the door, Xia Lan did not expect that, so early in the morning, Gu Xi Jue would already be fully dressed and opening the door for her.

"Gourmet, you woke up so early?" Xia Lan asked in surprise.

Compared to her shock, Gu Xi Jue was much more disgusted. He looked at his watch and said with disdain: "Why are you here so late?"

Indeed, a full man didn't know the hunger of a hungry man!

"I woke up early, okay? But it's too early, the bus and subway haven't started yet. I took many taxis, but I'm still not willing to take passengers. What kind of a place are you living in? Even taxis don't come." Xia Lan grumbled, and did not notice Gu Xi Jue's cold face.

"Is this a backwater? Have you ever seen such an expensive backwater? " Gu Xi Jue squinted his eyes and asked.

Xia Lan didn't even notice what she said and could only grumble.

"Is Xiao Ze up?" Xia Lan changed the topic.

"Nope."

"Then I'll make breakfast first." Xia Lan placed his bag on the sofa and entered the kitchen.

Gu Xi Jue wandered around in the kitchen, one moment touching this, another moment taking out a bottle of water from the fridge and giving it to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan said: "I'm not thirsty, thank you."

Gu Xi Jue held in his faint smile, looked at her and said: "I didn't give it for you to drink, let you unscrew it for me."

"You don't know how to twist it yourself!" Xia Lan felt that she had been played, and felt extremely embarrassed.

Gu Xi Jue did not speak, he only raised his hand that was covered by the gypsum, and spoke everything silently.

Xia Lan speechlessly glanced at him, thinking, why would a grown man be so weak?

Although she wanted to, she still helped him unscrew the bottle. As she passed the bottle over, she asked: "Gourmet, do you need me to feed you?"

Gu Xi Jue lightly snorted, and said in an extremely haughty manner: "Don't think of seizing the opportunity to take advantage of me."

With that, he left the kitchen with his level.

"Gourmet, do you want a Chinese style breakfast or a Western style breakfast?" Xia Lan raised her voice and asked.

Gu Xi Jue really wanted to reply, "I'll do it if it's hard to do it."

Xiao Ze was Xia Lan's weak point, so Gu Xi Jue had already been pinching it tightly.
