Si Yichen and Gu Tong glanced at each other, then turned around and walked towards the door.
"Big brother Si, big sister, I cut some fruits, do you two want to eat?"
Saying so, he stood at the door with a fruit bowl in his hands, enthusiastically asking Si Yicheng and Gu Tong about what had happened.
"No need, we don't want to eat, you …"
"Xiao Nuo, come in."
Just as Si Yicheng was about to send away the promise and discuss it with Gu Tong, Gu Tong suddenly opened her mouth and called in the promise.
Upon hearing Gu Tong's words, Saying with an embarrassed smile to Si Yicheng, he turned his body and walked in.
"Elder sister, this is for you!"
He had promised that he would give the fruit to Gu Tong as soon as he entered the restaurant because she wanted to eat it.
However, Gu Tong shook her head and refused, "Xiao Nuo, I won't eat. You can eat by yourself. I called you in to ask you, have you finished your homework?" "Do you have time to come with me to a place?"
Hearing this, Si Yicheng understood Gu Tong's intentions. He immediately objected, "What's the use of going with a child like her? I'll go with you! "
However, Gu Tong wasn't happy to listen to her. "What's wrong with children? Isn't a child a human being? Aren't you worried that I would go back alone? Now that I've found someone to accompany you back, you should be able to relax now, right? "
Besides Si Yichen, Gu Tong was willing to have anyone else accompany her.
"Xiao Nuo, no matter what happens, you will definitely stand by my side and protect me, right?"
In order to reassure Si Yichen, Gu Tong bent down to ask Gu Tong.
Even though she still hadn't figured out what the two of them were talking about, she still nodded affirmatively at Gu Tong's inquiry. "Yes, I'll definitely protect big sister."
After receiving the promised answer, Gu Tong immediately raised her head and smiled complacently at Si Yicheng, "Did you hear that? Xiao Nuo said that she will protect me, can you be at ease now? "
Si Yi Chen looked at Gu Tong and then looked at his promise. Finally, he nodded his head helplessly, "Since you insist, then alright! I'll promise to go back with you. But the two of you must go and come back early, and if anything happens, you must call me as soon as possible. "
"Got it!" I know! "Why are you being so long-winded!"
Gu Tong complained disdainfully. Then, she put down the promised fruit and hastily dragged the promised fruit out of the house.
Because he was worried about their safety, he even sent a driver to pick them up. Not long after, they arrived at the Gu family's main entrance.
Looking at Gu Tong, who had lived in this house for more than ten years and left it for a period of time, he felt as if it had been a lifetime.
"Elder sister, what's wrong?"
He had not moved for a long time when he saw Gu Tong staring blankly at him, so he asked her about it.
Gu Tong immediately lowered her head and whispered, "Shh! "Be quiet."
"Sister, isn't this your own home? Why are we sneaking around? " She felt that Gu Tong's actions were a bit strange.
On the way here, in order to avoid being unable to make sense of the situation and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Gu Tong simply explained the situation to her.
Faced with her question, Gu Tong rubbed her nose embarrassedly, then said unnaturally, "Err … Because... As there are people in there that I don't want to see, I don't want to meet her. I want to take my stuff and leave immediately. "
"When you go in later, no matter who you see, don't casually speak. It's as if you didn't see anything."
She didn't know whether Ji Su Lan was at home or not, but she was worried that if she met Ji Su Lan later and accidentally said something wrong, she would be bullied.
Although she said that she wanted Gu Tong to protect him in front of Si Yichen earlier, that was only an excuse. She never intended for the promise to suffer any harm or grievance.
"Alright!"
Although she didn't fully understand the situation, she didn't raise any objections to Gu Tong's request, and only nodded her head obediently.
After receiving the promised response, Gu Tong mulled over it for a while before finally opening the door with her key.
The corridor, living room, stairs, Gu Tong successfully returned to her room and found the drawer in which the design script was stored.
She originally had a separate study room, but after Ji Su Lan came, she was worried that Ji Su Lan would pry into her privacy, so she moved all the desks, design draft, and the like into her room. Every time she wasn't at home, she would lock the door.
"This is it. Let's go!"
After receiving the design script, Gu Tong didn't want to stay here for even a second longer, so she immediately headed towards the door with her promise.
"Where did the thief come from? You dare to come to my house to steal things? "
However, just as the two of them reached the door, they heard a stern rebuke. At the same time, they saw Ji Su Lan blocking their path.
"Screech …" So it's Young Miss Gu! I thought it was a thief from there! "
Ji Su Lan said to Gu Tong in a strange tone. There wasn't the slightest bit of surprise on her face. It was obvious that she had already known that Gu Tong had returned.
Indeed, she knew that Gu Tong had come back from the moment she entered the door. She just didn't know why she had come back, so she hadn't shown herself and had been observing from the shadows.
Now, seeing that Gu Tong was about to leave with something, she walked out to stop her and purposely yelled that out.
"Out of the way!"
Gu Tong didn't have the mood to act with her, so she impatiently chased her away.
But not only did Ji Su Lan not move away, he even seized the opportunity when she wasn't expecting him to, quickly reaching out and snatching the design manuscript from her hands!
"Give it back to me!" Gu Tong immediately rushed forward in an attempt to snatch the manuscript back, but Ji Su Lan took the initiative to raise her hands so that she couldn't even touch the edge of the manuscript.
"Gu Tong, if you want to take back these pieces of trash, then promise me one condition!"
As Gu Tong stared fixedly at Ji Su Lan, she quickly racked her brains to think of a way to retrieve the blueprint. Ji Su Lan suddenly said this to her.
Although Ji Su Lan didn't make her request clear, Gu Tong already had a premonition that what she wanted to say definitely wasn't anything good.
What should he do?
How do I get the design back?
Should he use force? Or listen to what she's up to?
Gu Tong was expressionless as she stared at Ji Su Lan. However, in her heart, she was engaged in an intense battle of choice.
"Old witch, why are you lifting your hands so high? The loose skin on his arm is really disgusting! "
Just as Gu Tong was at a loss as to what to do, the promise behind her suddenly shouted at Ji Su Lan.
