Gu Xiyu took out a flat folded white paper from his pocket, which recorded several addresses and contact numbers.

He said in a serious tone: "I will call the owner to make an appointment to see the house tomorrow. As long as there is no major problem, I will rent it, so one night should be—"

Before the word ‘Enough’ was said, the paper he was holding was suddenly taken away.

Gu Xiyu watched Ji Chen tear the strip of paper to pieces in front of him without hesitation, turning a thousand words into a huge—?

It wasn't until those addresses and phone numbers became fragmented and difficult to piece together that Ji Chen asked him again: "Is it enough?"

The voice sounded quite a sense of calm before the storm.

"..."

The straight man thought Gu Xiyu was stunned for a long time, only to realize that Ji Chen might well want to keep him, but he refused to speak directly. Say he has a thin face, he can tear his things up without reddening his face, but if he says he has a thick face, he will be embarrassed to open this mouth again.

After a short silence, Gu Xiyu said softly: "Let's eat."

He didn't answer Ji Chen's question directly, but he didn't raise the issue of looking for a house again.

"Did you make these yourself?" Ji Chen asked, holding a bowl of hot rice in his hand.

Gu Xiyu was still thinking about his extremely absurd behavior just now, and opened his eyes and answered nonsense: "No, I ordered a takeaway."

Mr. Ji, who was ready to deal with the draft, was stuck in his thoughts for a moment by his words.

Gu Xiyu lowered his eyes to cover the flashing smile under his eyes, upholding the attitude of not talking at all, he didn't say a word at the dinner table.

On the contrary, Ji Chen didn't seem to know why, and was a little absent-minded.

Almost after dinner, Ji Chen suddenly said: "I asked the people in the Supervision Department, and they told me that they could give me the results of your betrayal of company secrets within two weeks."

"Two weeks are too long." Gu Xiyu frowned, thinking that if he checked it himself, he might find the answer in two days.

Ji Chen said: "I think so too."

As soon as Gu Xiyu wanted to say whether to let him go, he heard Ji Chen continue to say: "So I plan to take you out for travel before the results come out."

"...?"

The three words "Honeymoon" on the task panel suddenly jumped in front of him.

I almost forgot about it.

The fire in the house had a big impact on his day, and he temporarily left this task, which was not very mission-like, behind him.

"It's okay, you can arrange it." Although Gu Xiyu wasn't looking forward to it, she didn't feel scared.

Anyway, Ji Chen didn't really like him and obtained the certificate from him.

However, Ji Chen happened to go to Country F, which is called the romantic capital, due to business affairs next week, so he decided to take their tourist destination there by the way.

Thursday is the day when I made an appointment to meet with Gu Xun and Xu Caiting.

Gu Xiyu calculated the time and went out to pick up his parents before Ji Chen got off work.

Before the start of the car, he opened the storage compartment of the passenger seat and took out the USB flash drive that he had left inside.

He has been thinking about whether the fire in the house has anything to do with this thing. It's a pity that the house was burned down, and he couldn't confirm whether there were any signs of infiltration in the room. It's also a coincidence that he accidentally carried it out that day after transferring the data, and only found out when he got in the car, so he temporarily put it in the car, and it was not damaged by the fire.

Among other things, if the person who wanted to kill him was the same person who set the Gu's villa on fire, then this person would be worse than the mission target Ji Chen.

Gu Xiyu, who recognized this incident, put away the U disk and set off to pick up Gu Xun and Xu Caiting at the apartment. He has never mentioned to them that Ji Chen has an apartment with him. Even if we meet today, his explanation to the two of them is only Ji Chen’s home.

When Xu Caiting helped Gu Xun enter the door, the white cat who had just taken a nap yawned and stepped on the catwalk to the entrance, like a mountain patrol king looking at the person who came in.

"Oh, our son-in-law also has such a cute cat at home." Xu Caiting stretched out her hand to touch it, but was snarled and screamed and quickly avoided, only rubbing back and forth on Gu Xiyu's hind legs, as if asking him about this. Who is the one who broke into the house.

Gu Xiyu said, "These are my parents."

I don't know if Xixi really understood it, and then he didn't anger Gu Xun and Xu Caiting anymore, only hiding far away and didn't want to get close to them.

"This house is really big..." Xu Caiting held Gu Xun, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "I heard that the apartment in this building is expensive, several times the price of our broken villa."

"Haha." Gu Xun smiled like a loving father. "It's already very low-key to live in this place as him."

Seeing them sitting on the sofa, Gu Xiyu went to the kitchen to make tea and cut fruit for them, without joining their conversation. Mainly, he has nothing to say to them. The two people have never had any affection for him or the ‘Original Body’, sitting together like strangers.

Regardless of individual circumstances, Ji Chen can be regarded as a punctual person. He returned home at the appointed time again, and when he entered the door, he still carried several paper bags in his hand, which seemed to contain gifts to be given away.

Gu Xiyu was sitting at the table boredly, holding a bowl of homemade salad in his hand, and gnawing bit by bit like a herbivore.

"Oh, that, Ji..." Gu Xun stood up with the kidnapper, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, but he couldn't finish the sentence.

It is too unfamiliar to call Mr. Ji, but if he is asked to call Ji Chen directly, he always feels that the other party's momentum does not allow him to shout directly.

Seeing Ji Chen carrying a bunch of things on the coffee table in front of him and Xu Caiting, Gu Xun smiled again: "How can I buy so many things when I meet to talk about something? It's too expensive!"

"No." Ji Chen smiled at them, and said while taking out the contents, "How can the things you buy for Xiyu be called a toll."

Gu Xun, who thought it was Ji Chen’s meeting gift, stiffened his smile, Xu Caiting uncomfortably raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears, and asked, "Ah, are all for our Xiyu? ?"

"Well, it happened that a brand company that cooperated with Fengming sent some gifts over today."

After that, he took out a small box of things from a small bag and handed it to Gu Xiyu: "Your mobile phone is already very old even if you can get it back. I left the company earlier today and bought you a new one by the way. "

Gu Xiyu glanced at the two people on the sofa whose faces were obviously not pretty, and silently reached out to take the new phone that had been made for him even with the phone case.

He turned on the screen and then extinguished it, took off the back shell in front of Ji Chen, and revealed the chip-like thing underneath: "This, did you get it from the previous shell?"

"..." Ji Chen put his hand to his mouth in a contemplative manner, without replying.

Gu Xiyu had already discovered Ji Chen's hands and feet on his mobile phone the morning he woke up in the hotel. The thing should be a tracker that could allow Ji Chen to track his whereabouts.

Because he has nothing to let him know for the time being, so he didn't expose it.

Gu Xiyu carefully put the phone back into the case again, and suddenly smiled at Ji Chen.

"Thank you."

When Ji Chen moved his fingers, he was about to lift it subconsciously. When the line of sight touched the slight smile under Gu Xiyu's eyes, he hesitated, and finally passed the top of his hair without a trace.

He turned around and walked back to the living room: "I heard Xiyu say that my parents have something to discuss with me?"

Gu Xun immediately recovered his senses and said with a smile: "Ah yes, I don't want to be ambiguous, mainly... I want to say that Ji, Ji Chen, your company is very successful, and our Gu's technology has just encountered some problems recently. I want to talk to you."

"I've heard about the Gu's family a little bit. However, I heard that the specific situation of this incident seems to be because you are conspiring to operate a less formal business, and there are discordant opinions in the middle, which led to someone taking advantage of the chaos. The funding issue happened. If the information I received is correct, the turmoil within you should have not been resolved yet?"

Gu Xun didn't expect that Ji Chen could even find out the situation of Gu's science and technology clearly, and all the prepared explanations were not needed, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Ji Chen added: "What's more, your company has a record of leaking customers' private information. Even if it is reported, it will continue to do such small actions in private. The most important first principle for my career is to pay attention to integrity. "

"So I won't be able to help with the trouble of Gu's company, sorry."

When Gu Xun and Xu Caiting heard that, they couldn't hold back their smiles. Xu Caiting's eyes on Gu Xiyu even started to become resentful. Regardless of Ji Chen's presence, she asked directly, "Is it you? You must have told Ji a lot before we came here. My dad and I were not good to you. His bad words will make him misunderstand us!"

"How can you kid be so vicious?"

Gu Xiyu put the phone that he repeatedly wiped clean on the table and asked Xu Caiting calmly: "Have you ever seen me mention something bad about my family to me over the years?"

Seeing Xu Caiting's eyes faint, he whispered again: "Obviously he is also his own biological child, why can't you treat me better as you did to your brother?"

Gu Xiyu's question was obviously asking Gu Xun and Xu Caiting, but Ji Chen always felt that his gaze was more like looking through them and asking another object.

Perhaps this is the first time that the Gu family has really brought this taboo topic to the face of it. Gu Xun and Xu Caiting have rarely violently scolded Gu Xiyu, but Qi Qi fell into silence.

Ji Chen's attitude was very tough. Gu Xun knew that it was impossible to get his support for the time being. After asking for the car key from Gu Xiyu, he took Xu Caiting and left, vicissitudes of life in his back.

After that, Gu Xiyu temporarily broke contact with the Gu family, and soon ushered in the day of going on a business trip with Ji Chen.

Before leaving, Ji Chen gave him a bank card.

"Marriage generally requires employment. I have not given you anything. There are tens of millions of funds in it." Ji Chen said as he packed his simple salute, "In my own opinion, I really don't want to help so badly. company of."

"But they are your family members. Now the money is yours. You can decide how you want to use it."

Gu Xiyu held the bank card that Ji Chen handed him, a little lost.

Ji Chen thought he was struggling, but in fact he was calculating in his heart the assets he possessed in the space-time realm.

This was the first world, and he already owed the big devil a luxury prison gift package.
