After the car accident, she lay down and ate melon

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the room through the glass windows, giving the entire house a light golden hue.

Just then, the crisp ring of the telephone broke the silence in the room.

Gu Xiaoxiao put down the book she was reading and picked up her charging phone. As soon as the call was connected, she heard the familiar and deep voice of her elder brother, Gu Yanlin:

"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, we are not going home for dinner tonight."

Gu Xiaoxiao showed a trace of confusion on her face, thinking that something big had happened in the company. "What's the matter, brother?"

Gu Yanlin paused and changed "uncle" to "Director Qin". He guessed that his sister might not like to hear the word "uncle" now.

"Um... Director Qin came to the company to see me. He said there were some important matters that needed to be discussed with me in person. Xiao Shu and I might be back late tonight."

After he finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, Gu Yanlin added:

"By the way, sister, do you want to come to the company and have dinner with us?"

In fact, Gu Yanlin originally wanted to ask whether Gu Xiaoxiao was willing to come and meet his uncle's family, but the words suddenly stopped at his lips.

He suddenly remembered what Gu Xiaoxiao had sent him in the morning.

At that time, after reading those messages, Gu Yanlin knew that his sister probably didn't have much affection for this uncle who was a little soft-hearted.

In this case, then don't force your sister. These troublesome matters should be handled by Xiaoshu and I. Let your younger brother and sister avoid these troubles for a while and have some peace and quiet.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Yanxi were completely unaware of this. They did not realize that they had just luckily avoided a group of annoying guys.

Gu Xiaoxiao had just sat down at the dining table and was about to have dinner when the elevator door slowly opened and the tall figure of Gu Yanxi walked out.

The steady and powerful footsteps, with a unique rhythm, came into close contact with the solid wood floor.

Gu Xiaoxiao heard the voice and turned around quickly. The moment her eyes met Gu Yanxi, the quiet atmosphere was instantly brightened.

A bright smile bloomed on Gu Xiaoxiao's face, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

"Brother, you're back!"

"Hehehe, I was just thinking that tonight, I might be the only one enjoying such a sumptuous meal alone, and then you come back." There was a hint of playfulness and joy in Gu Xiaoxiao's words.

Gu Yanxi frowned slightly and asked in surprise, "Oh? Big brother and second brother both have social engagements tonight?"

Since he came back, he was surprised to find that since his sister came back, no matter how busy they were at work, his eldest brother and second brother would try their best to come back and have dinner with their sister.

It's already this late and both of them are not at home. I guess tonight's social event must be very important.

Gu Yanxi was thinking secretly in his heart. At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly reached out, gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and winked at him, motioning Gu Yanxi to come closer.

Faced with her sister's lovely behavior, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but smile indulgently and leaned forward obediently.

"What does my sister want to say?"

When the two of them got closer, Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her voice and said mysteriously:

"Director Qin of Haicheng and his family are back."

"They went to Chengfeng Holdings first, but it seems that they didn't get any benefits. Now they are going to Gu's to find the eldest brother..."

Having said that, Gu Xiaoxiao paused and did not continue.

Because even if Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say what happened next, Gu Yanxi could guess roughly -

I’m afraid it won’t be a good thing!

It just so happens that in the eyes of most people, I am a "dead man", so naturally I cannot show my face in public no matter what.

However, since he had just found his long-lost sister, it stands to reason that his sister should go and see them, right?

Gu Yanxi slowly walked to Gu Xiaoxiao's side and sat down, looking at his sister in confusion.

When Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, she saw Gu Yanxi's puzzled look. The corners of Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. Then, she shrugged triumphantly and said:

"Hehehe...Big Brother must know very well that I don't want to meet those people at all, so he didn't plan to let me go."

Hey, don't underestimate Gu Xiaoxiao. Her words actually guessed what Gu Yanlin was thinking.

Gu Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly remember something important. She suddenly widened her eyes and stared straight at Gu Yanxi. Seeing that he was still confused about everything, she realized that Gu Yanxi didn't know that his "good uncle" was back.

So he asked, "Brother, didn't you see the WeChat message I sent you this morning?"

Hearing this, Gu Yanxi was stunned and quickly reached into his pocket. He took out his cell phone and saw that the screen was completely black.

It turned out that the phone had run out of battery and turned off automatically at some point.

Gu Yanxi quickly stood up, walked quickly to the storage cabinet in the living room, took out a mobile power bank, placed the phone on it, and started wireless charging.

He was still muttering:

"Oh, it's all my fault for being so careless that I didn't even notice that my phone was out of battery. I was wondering why it was so quiet all day."

Gu Yanxi felt a little uneasy and gently scratched his buzz cut, as if this could ease the embarrassment a little.

The screen of the turned-off phone lit up. Gu Yanxi just glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention to it.

Then he took the hot, wet towel handed to him by the nanny and wiped his hands and face. Then, Gu Yanxi put the towel neatly aside, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and began to feast on the food.

After Gu Yanxi finished a bowl of soup, he did not forget to urge Gu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him and watching him drink the soup:

"Little sister, you should eat quickly, or it will get cold soon!"

"This soup tonight is so delicious. Just smelling it makes me salivate."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity! My eldest and second brothers are not at home tonight. I can't taste such delicious food. It's such a pity!"

After saying a lot of words of praise, Gu Yanxi picked up the soup bowl in front of him, gulped down another small bowl of soup in one breath, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and couldn't help but utter a heartfelt exclamation of praise:

"Wow, this tastes amazing!"

Hearing Gu Yanxi's praise, Gu Xiaoxiao also quickly picked up her own bowl and sipped a small sip of the soup. In an instant, her big eyes were filled with surprise and widened, and she nodded repeatedly to show her agreement:
