Shi Xiaonian still wanted to argue with Gong Ou, but Gong Ou had already opened the letter in his hands and took out the letter.
She knew that it was no longer appropriate for her to argue with Gong Ou about a child's name.
As she sat there and looked at Gong Ou, lines of text flashed past Gong Ou's eyes."What's wrong?"
Shi Xiaonian asked worriedly."They offered to negotiate, which is... "Settle down." Gong Ou sneered, and placed the letter in his hand on the table.
Shi Xiaonian was startled, "Reconciliation again? Why does it sound so full of conspiracy. "
Having fought to this extent, the Gong Jia had suffered a lot of losses, and even N.E. was also implicated, the Lancaster family had suffered a lot of losses, and the loss of manpower, mining Young Masters, internal strife, even George was healing in anger, could it be that it was because the losses were too great, and the Lancaster family had begun to realize the reality?
However, based on the vicious attitude of the other party from before, he should have vowed to never stop.
"You also know how to plot?"Gong Ou looked at Shi Xiaonian with a smile that was not really a smile.
"…"Why couldn't she understand?
Shi Xiaonian stood up and took the letter from her. On it was the Lancaster family's crest and the paper was extremely thick and delicate.
After reading the words on it, Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou worriedly, "He wants you to bring Bitter Beasts, you can do whatever you want with the conditions."The words were written in a very elegant way, but in the end, that was all. It sounded like a huge concession and compromise, but it was actually a request for a bit.
"Yes."
Gong Ou nodded, he raised the cup on the table and took a sip.
"We can't go, that family has never treated Bitter as one of their own, why would they suddenly make such a big concession?" It must be to get Beetee back to study the Mr Palace. " The last time they fought like that, they didn't know anything about it along the way. The MR Palace was missing, and they couldn't find it no matter how hard they tried. It was possible that they were placed somewhere and taken back by Lancaster.
"Not really." Feng De stood at the side and looked at the words on the letter and said, "It's very obvious that they will retreat, and even hinted that they can give us a few big mines. This is also a fatal loss to Lancaster, so owning their own property is more important than destroying N.E. right?"
Shi Xiaonian listened and looked at Gong Ou. Seeing that he was indifferent, he became anxious, "That proves that they have evil intentions, and it must be a trap! Who knows, they might have set up an ambush for us."
"The location stated above is up to us to decide on a temporary basis. They can't put up any defenses in advance."
Feng De said again.
Shi Xiaonian frowned as she looked at Gong Ou. "Gong Ou, you wouldn't bring Bitter Beast over for trade, right?"
"Why not?" Gong Ou said disapprovingly, "Using their people to exchange for their property and to surrender, no matter how you look at it, I am worth it."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was momentarily dumbstruck. She was unable to accept it, but suddenly, as if she sensed something, she turned around and saw Bitter standing next to a pillar not far away.He wore a clean white shirt, and he looked young and fresh. He just stood there with a dull expression on his face, and there was no expression in his blue eyes.
Bit...
Shi Xiaonian looked at him worriedly, then looked at Gong Ou, "Gong Ou, Lancaster has lost so much, it's impossible for her to surrender so easily, don't believe it."
Gong Ou looked at her across the table, but did not say a word.
"Really." Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Shi Xiaonian became even more anxious, "Beetle has always been displeased by his family. After helping me this time, he might even get beaten up if he goes back. He's only 16 years old! "
Beetee stood by the pillar, looking at them without a word, her hands clenched at her sides, her lips pressed together.
Gong Ou looked at the anxiety on Shi Xiaonian's face, and was not jealous at all. After a while, he opened his mouth and asked coldly, "Do you think of Shi Xiaonian as your safe haven now?"
After saying that, Gong Ou fiercely turned his head, and accurately capturing the direction of the little bird.
He slowly walked over from beside the pillar, looked at Shi Xiaonian, and then looked towards Gong Ou, "When I came to find you for help, I knew that I wouldn't be able to return to the Clan."
"That's right, you can only rely on me to survive now." Gong Ou's words were harsh and realistic.
Shi Xiaonian wanted to say something, but Beat already said, "But I have at least saved your wife, I do not need you to be grateful, but can you let me go?"
"If you leave, I will lose a lot." Gong Ou leaned back, her expression full of contempt.
Hearing that, Bitterness clenched her fists and said, "I advise you not to be so naive. It's impossible for them to surrender to you because of me.
"A three-year-old taught me how to do things?"
Gong Ou looked at him with a bit of amusement, his tone carrying a trace of disdain.
"Gong Ou..." Shi Xiaonian could not bear to continue watching. She walked to Beetle's side and stood there, patting his arm, and said gently, "Let me talk, you can go back to your room and rest. Trust me."Bitter stood beside Shi Xiaonian, lowered its eyes, stood for a while, then turned and left.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him worriedly.
As Bitter walked step by step, Gong Ou's cold voice could be heard, "Do you think that just because I let you go, you can be free and unfettered? In a few days, there will be a nameless corpse on the road or in the water. ""Gong Ou..."
Shi Xiaonian stopped Gong Ou, so she shouldn't be so provocative.
Beatte's body stiffened, then he walked on in silence until he came out the back door, where the grass grew luxuriantly on trees full of flowers.
Behind the tree was a row of low houses.
He walked forward and sat down on a long stone bench behind a tree. A few pear-white petals fell from the tree and slowly fell onto his shoulders.The slanting shadows on the ground made him appear even more alone.
Bitter brushed away the petals on his body, and suddenly a shadow appeared on the ground. He turned his head slightly, and it was the owner of the house who seemed to have no presence. It was the disfigured woman.
She sat down beside him in an old gray robe, still wearing a large hat that almost covered her entire face.
"…"
Beetee sat to the side, still uncomfortable, and was about to get up when the woman suddenly handed him a fresh piece of cake, propped up on a paper mat, without touching the cake.
Beetee stared at the cake.
"I'll give it to you to eat."
The woman said.It was hard for Beetle to reject sweets, and after hearing Gong Ou's words, he felt extremely depressed. After being silent for a moment, he reached out and took a bite of the cake.
The sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue, bringing with it a rich fragrance.
"Did Shi Xiaonian get you to bring it over?"
This was made by Shi Xiaonian, she cared about him a lot and she even made cakes for him after she had recovered from her injuries, she was afraid that he would be sad so she sent it over to him."…"
The woman sat beside him in silence.
"It takes a lot of effort to make a cake, and she's not too well." Beatte said as he ate the cake, taking a bite out of it. He ate the cake until it was his last bite out of him, yet he refused to eat it no matter what.
"Are you done eating?" the woman asked.
"Do you know what a stray dog is?"
"…"
The woman sat beside him, her fingers trembling."Ever since I was born, I've been a stray dog. I've never had a home of my own." "I know that Shi Xiaonian treats me very well, but she treats me well, so what? She likes Gong Ou more, it's just giving me a piece of cake, she can't give me a home."
"…"
The woman sat down beside him in silence.
"Gong Ou is right, when I was alive, I was a stray dog, so when I was used, I was valuable. "I don't even know why I'm alive."
With these words, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. It was the woman who had grabbed his hand, her fingers still trembling.
Beetee looked at her in confusion. The woman quickly lowered her head, her grief still lingering in her eyes. He stared at the scar on her face and asked, "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Heh, now even a disfigured woman without a family would sympathize with him? How many times had he failed?
No wonder no one other than Shi Xiaonian thought highly of him.
What could he possibly be worthy of?
Thank you for bringing the cake, don't tell Shi Xiaonian these words, I don't want her to worry. Beetee pulled her hand away, stood up, and turned to go.
"Do you like being with her?" the woman asked suddenly behind him.
Her voice was pleasant to hear, completely different from her scars. It was not repulsive at all.
Bitter stood there and listened, he understood that the "she" the woman was referring to was Shi Xiaonian and could not help but laugh bitterly, "Only she treats me sincerely, but she likes someone else even more."
Shi Xiaonian had treated him well, but the most important person in her life was Gong Ou, and it wasn't him.
"…"
The woman stood motionless, watching him go.
When Bitter Beast returned, Shi Xiaonian was still persuading Gong Ou to not surrender him. She wanted to protect him, and it wasn't like he wouldn't be moved by her words.
Gong Ou sat in front of the table indifferently, refusing to speak a word with Shi Xiaonian.
"Gong Ou, will you listen to me? Lancaster could not have surrendered for the sake of Beetee. She must have had some ulterior motive. " Shi Xiaonian stood beside him and said. She would massage his shoulders and back in a while, and was extremely attentive to him.
Gong Ou played with the tablet computer in his hand, pointing to his right shoulder, "Smack harder over here.""Good, good, good."
Shi Xiaonian patted his shoulder, massaging and pinching it hard for him. It was so hard, and she said that she had not reacted for a long time as she looked at the computer in her hand.
He saw that the screen was filled with numbers, red and green.
"What are you doing?" Did you take what she said?"Count the number of times you have spoken for the opposite sex. In the future, take it out and take a look if you have nothing to do." Gong Ou spoke faintly.
