Chapter 79: Go to Gu Group

In the past, when contacting Xu Weiling, Qiao Yang only needed to be polite as a younger generation.
But what attitude is he going to face Xu Weiling now? Qiao Yang put his finger on the answer button and hesitated.
Seeing that the bell was getting longer and longer and it was about to be cut off, he pressed down to answer: "...Aunt Xu, hello."
Xu Weiling's soft voice resounded on the other end: "Hey, Yangyang, did my aunt call you suddenly and disturb you?"
Qiao Yang let go of his nervous heart slightly, and he quickly said: "No, no. You can say it."
Xu Weiling: "It's okay. I'm just bored at home alone. I baked some bean paste cakes that A Ye liked when he was a kid."
"But you also know that this kid A Ye is still having a temper with me. I cook so much food, but it's hard to even send it to him."
After speaking, Xu Weiling sighed.
Is this because Aunt Xu wants to give Gu Ye a bean paste cake by herself?
Qiao Yang thought to himself, and asked smoothly: "Then, why don't you give it to me, Auntie, and let me send it to him?"
Xu Weiling: "Oh, will it be troublesome?"
Qiao Yang: "No, no, I happen to be free today."
After hearing this, Xu Weiling became happy and asked, "But the bean paste cake still has half an hour to bake. You don't want to come to my house to get it?"
"When you came here, it just happened to be out of the pot. You should also eat a little while it's hot and try Auntie's craftsmanship. How about sending it to A Ye by the way on the way back?"
The Gu Group building is between the Century Mansion and Gu's Villa. Qiao Yang went to Gu's house to get the bean paste cake and sent it back to Gu Ye. It was indeed more convenient for Xu Weiling to make a special trip to the Century Mansion and ask Qiao Yang to send it to Gu.
But, go to Gu's to get it?
Qiao Yang understood Xu Weiling's true intentions. It turned out that it was just an excuse to give Gu Ye the bean paste cake, but Xu Weiling wanted to invite him to Gu's house.
He was still uneasy.
Because Xu Weiling spoke to him on the phone very politely, and did not mention Gu Ye and the others.
Therefore, Qiao Yang still didn't know Xu Weiling's attitude towards the relationship between him and Gu Ye.
If he went to Gu's house, what would Xu Weiling tell him?
He answered cautiously: "Yes, thank you auntie. I will go to your house now."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yang changed into a slightly more formal outfit, and called Gu Ye before leaving, but Gu Ye did not answer.
He had to send a message:
[Auntie made red bean paste cake, please ask me to eat at your house. 】
[I want to bring a small gift over, do you have anything you like? 】
There was no waiting for Gu Ye to reply along the way.
Seeing getting closer and closer to the destination, Qiao Yang had to stop and find a flower shop to buy a bouquet of tulips for Xu Weiling, and wrote a blessing card by hand, which counted as a gift for the first visit.
Gu's Villa is located in a villa area slightly away from the city.
It's different from the winding streets of the old Qiao family home, surrounded by newly developed wide roads and huge artificial lakes dug around the villa area.
The artificial lake is also a natural barrier to entering the villa area, so there is only one road leading to the top wealthy area of ​​S city.
And the security guards are very strict.
There are security booths and close surveillance shooting at road entrances and exits. Unregistered vehicles and outsiders will be stopped unless approved and led by the head of the villa area.
Therefore, as soon as Qiao Yang entered the intersection, he saw a few well-dressed suits, standing at the intersection waiting to meet his Gu family.
Headed by Gu's housekeeper. Qiao Yang met him at his eldest brother's wedding, and I remember Gu Ye calling him Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu is full of spirit, calm and graceful. He walked to Qiao Yang's car and bowed slightly, smiling and saying:
"Hello Master Qiao, Madam let us wait here to greet you and welcome you to Gu's house."
The few people behind him also bowed, saying hello one by one.
The proper etiquette can be seen from Gu's respect and respect for the guests.
Qiao Yang smiled and replied: "Thank you, I really trouble you."
Uncle Wu: "You are polite, Master Qiao. We should do what we should do to welcome Master Qiao and lead you."
Then Uncle Wu drove ahead and led Qiao Yang back to Gu's house.
The style of Gu's villa is completely different from Qiao's. It is a three-story villa with a white style and modern European style.
Inside the villa, there is a wide view of the courtyard garden, and a set of white outdoor seats are placed in the center of the refined green lawn, surrounded by potted plants and flowers.
Qiao Yang followed the housekeeper Uncle Wu across the long courtyard path. As soon as he entered the villa, he heard Xu Weiling's voice: "Is Yang Yang here? Come in."
Immediately afterwards, I saw Xu Weiling coming out from inside,
Today, she is wearing casual clothes that are easy to move, and she is also wearing a floral apron, and the soft smile makes her feel more approachable.
It also made Qiao Yang let go of some pressure in his heart.
He held out the tulip and handed it to Xu Weiling and said: "Hello Aunt Xu. I don't know what gift to bring you when I first visit, I hope you don't dislike it."
Xu Weiling was surprised.
She took the flower bouquet and bowed her head and smelled the flowers: "Thank you Yangyang, I like tulips very much."
But he smiled and sighed again: "Hey, when my family A Ye can send me a bunch of flowers like Yangyang, I will laugh in my dreams."
Xu Weiling lacked the usual pompous gifts, with a smile on her face and a very cheerful voice.
Especially when talking about her son, it's like an ordinary mother complaining about her son.
Xu Weiling's attitude shouldn't be against him and Gu Ye's attitude.
So, Qiao Yang also smiled and explained for Gu Ye: "Gu Ye is too busy to remember."
Xu Weiling sighed again: "Yes, this kid is too busy, alas."
"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about him. Come, Yangyang, come sit in there, and how about the bean paste cake made by Auntie?"
Walking from the entrance to the restaurant, Qiao Yang saw potted plants and blooming flowers everywhere in the spacious aisles and halls of Gu's family.
Qiao Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Xu Weiling really likes flowers. He was right to buy a bunch of flowers today.
In a small bamboo basket in the center of the dining table, there are red bean paste cakes that have been baked for a long time. The golden and soft skin is still steaming, exuding the sweetness of bean paste and the attractive taste of baked noodles.
Xu Weiling asked Qiao Yang to sit down, and a little embarrassed, pushed him the bean paste cake in the small bamboo basket, and said with a smile:
"Auntie doesn't know how to cook anything else, she usually bake some small snacks. I don't know how it tastes. If Yangyang doesn't like it, don't force it. There are other foods at home."
Qiao Yang took a piece of it and tasted it. The red bean paste cake was just as soft and sweet as it seemed.
He nodded unceasingly and praised: "It's delicious."
Xu Weiling looked at him with the look that she had been looking forward to. Seeing that he likes to feel relieved immediately: "That's good, just as good as your appetite."
"If you like it, Auntie will often make it for you in the future."
There are some things that you don’t need to say directly.
A small matter or small action can express an attitude towards a person.
Xu Weiling's current attitude also made Qiao Yang understand what she meant.
Qiao Yang's nervousness gradually disappeared.
Moreover, Xu Weiling should be to make the atmosphere more relaxed, so that the butler and them all played out, leaving only two chatting.
Xu Weiling's tone gradually became more serious, but she was still soft: "Actually, the auntie called Yangyang over this time because she wanted to ask you for something, but she was afraid that she would trouble you again."
Qiao Yang put down the bean paste cake in his hand and said, "Auntie, please tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help you."
Xu Weiling laughed: "It's not a big deal. It's A Ye."
"Although he is always angry with me, I am a mother who is still worried about him being outside. From time to time, I ask the assistant secretary next to him about his situation. Sure enough, he doesn't know how to take care of himself."
"I heard Secretary A Ye say that A Ye took care of himself and was busy with work. He didn't eat three meals or anything on time. Now he has stomach problems."
Xu Weiling was distressed and worried, and said, "Say he...takes stomach medicine every day. What can the body do if this continues?"
Qiao Yang's heart sank suddenly: Gu Ye has a stomach problem and is still taking medicine every day?
He had no idea. All he knows is that Gu Ye is busy and often too late to reply to his messages.
But when two people are together, Gu Ye will put all his energy and patience on him. He passively accepts this gentleness, but ignores that Gu Ye also needs someone to care for.
Gu Ye, a person with such a strong body, is so busy with stomach problems?
Xu Weiling continued to talk, and she smiled helplessly: "I persuade A Ye to let him order his three meals a day, even if he lives and rests."
"But he didn't listen to me, and his people couldn't control him..."
"Up to now, my family is used to cooking A Ye likes to eat food, but he always lives outside, and I ask him to send food to him, and he still murders me."
Xu Weiling sighed and shook her head: "I really have no choice but to take him, so angry and distressed."
Xu Weiling's expression gradually fell down, and her tone of voice was a mother's distressed and helpless tone of her child.
She looked at Qiao Yang, with some requests, and said, "I know A Ye likes you very much now. I think he should listen to what you persuade him."
"So, Auntie wants to ask you to do this favor. I hope you can take care of him, and at least make his three meals a day normal, so that his stomach problems can slowly recover."
She looks concerned and sincere.
Asking someone to take care of their children is trust and recognition of that person.
Qiao Yang has thoroughly understood Xu Weiling's attitude towards him and Gu Ye.
While happy, I began to worry about self-blame.
He has never thought about Gu Ye's private life, and Gu Ye takes care of him a lot when they are together.
Give him the best sound of nature, help him solve the trouble for the Qiao family, pave the way for his composing career, and carefully prepare him a hearty breakfast and lunch every day.
Gu Ye himself didn't even have time to eat.
Not to mention Xu Weiling feels distressed, Qiao Yang feels distressed too.
He said: "Auntie, I know. You can rest assured that I will persuade him when I go back and let him take care of him."
Xu Weiling gratefully took Qiao Yang's hand and said, "Auntie really wants to thank Yangyang, you will definitely listen to him if you persuade him. It's great to have you by A Ye now."
She changed her tone again, and said with some temptation: "Auntie has one more thing in her heart. If she doesn't say it, she always feels...unfortunate."
Qiao Yang smiled and said: "Auntie, you are welcome, you can tell me what you want."
Xu Weiling said: "I asked Manman to deliver food to A Ye before, and I would trouble you to open the door for Manman. Now think about it, it's really..."
She apologized, and her expression was slightly embarrassed: "At that time, I never thought that Gu Ye and you would be so good... Don't blame Auntie, okay?"
This is really embarrassing. Qiao Yang thought that Xu Weiling would not mention Qin Man's past, but he didn't expect her to be so honest.
It's okay to say it, and the things stuck between two people in the future will be completely gone.
Qiao Yang also laughed awkwardly: "No, it's all in the past."
"Aunt Gu Ye is really happy to be with you,"
Xu Weiling explained to Qiao Yang: "Actually, I knew A Ye didn't like Manman at the time, but I just hoped that someone in A Ye's body could take care of him."
"The main reason is that A Ye is really too lonely. Since childhood, he hasn't even had anyone who talked to each other intimately..."
Speaking of this, Xu Weiling once again held Qiao Yang's hand, and said with a sincere and grateful voice: "Thank Yangyang, it's great that A Ye has you now."
~
After returning from Gu’s family, Qiao Yang looked at the few lunch boxes and a box of bean paste cakes under the car seat in a mixed mood.
He had Xu Weiling's joy in accepting him in his heart, but he felt more distressed for Gu Ye.
Xu Weiling told him something about Gu Ye. She lost her father when she was young, and there was no one around to support her. She relied on him to come to today step by step.
It is strong and lonely.
No wonder Gu Ye always relies on him so much and sticks to him.
For Gu Ye, he used to be the only friend, but now he is a hard-working person who can give his heart.
He drove all the way to the Gu's building.
Xu Weiling should have confessed it, Qiao Yang entered the reception hall on the first floor, and a capable male employee greeted him: "Shao Qiao, this is Mr. Gu’s secretary Wu Lei. Madam asked me to greet you here. Please."
Qiao Yang walked into the elevator with him and asked, "Is Gu Ye taking a lunch break in his office now? I just sent him a message and he didn't reply."
Secretary Wu: "Gu, President Gu is still in a meeting now, but he will come out when he sees you. I will take you to the conference room first."
Qiao Yang: "Good."
He looked at the time: more than one o'clock. Aunt Xu told him that this time was usually during Gu Ye's lunch break, and she asked him to come over at this point.
How busy is it that I'm still in a meeting.
The social style of the Gu family is also very different from that of the Qiao family.
Qiao's style is rigorous everywhere. Gu's atmosphere is open and free. There is no strict distinction between the office floor and the office in charge of each department.
Even the large conference room level is separated from the office by a transparent glass wall.
Although no sound can be heard, the employees outside can clearly see the expressions of everyone in the meeting room and the atmosphere of the meeting.
Standing outside the glass wall, the secretary said, "Master Qiao, can you wait a while? I'll go in and inform Mr. Gu that you are coming."
Qiao Yang looked into the meeting room and said, "Go?"
He has seen Gu Ye among many people. Gu Ye sitting at the conference table was different from when he was.
There is no gentle smile, no talk and laughter when socializing, and no gentleness and patience for him.
Instead, he had a cold face and a serious expression on his face.
It seems that the atmosphere in the entire conference room has become dignified by his low air pressure. Qiao Yang never knew that Gu Ye's handsome and elegant face would be so terrifying and sharp.
In the meeting room, after the secretary walked into Gu Ye and said a few words, Gu Ye immediately changed his expression.
He searched in surprise, and finally his gaze stayed on the handsome man outside the glass window.
After seeing Gu Ye's stunned eyes, Qiao Yang lifted an insulated lunch box in his hand and smiled at him.
The two were separated by a distance of about 5 meters and a glass wall.
But Qiao Yang could clearly see the changes in Gu Ye's eyes.
After the consternation that is difficult to be confident, it is still consternation.
It seems that I can't believe that Qiao Yang will suddenly come to his company and give him food.
Qiao Yang smiled again: Gu Ye is so surprised to do what he does, it seems that he will have to come often in the future to get him used to it.
He looked after Gu Ye on his own, and did not notice the expressions of other people in the conference room.
Some people in the conference room looked suspicious, some were shocked, some exchanged eyes, and some others looked unclear.
Qiao Yang didn't even know, the private discussion among Gu's employees along the way he went: "That was the third young master of Qiao's just now!"
"He followed Secretary Zhou, the lunch box in his hand was for President Gu?"
"Some people say that Mr. Gu is dating the third young master of the Qiao family. It seems to be true!"
"Is it a good time for the third young master of the Qiao family to come over at this time? My goodness!"
