It was New Year's Eve in two days, and the company was already on holiday. Gu Xingze took care of the last bit of work and returned to Gu's home.
The Gu family's old house was passed down from previous generations. It has a Chinese-style garden and is more valuable for viewing than for living in.
Usually, only the ancestors live there, and the others only go back to stay for two days during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Zhonglin wanted to ask about the company, so when he came back, he called him to the living room to drink tea with him.
Gu Dongting was also nearby. He had just given up the position of president to his son not long ago. He was still familiar with the company and had nothing to ask. He just said meaningfully: "The move is too big."
I don’t know whether it’s about competing with the Zhou family’s business, or about injuring Zhou Jingmo and the others and sending them to jail because of the woman.
Gu Xingze took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I think it's okay."
As a grandfather, Gu Zhonglin didn't mention his emotional affairs, but only praised him for doing well in the Wen family's affairs.
Medical safety is very important. They are giving some support to the newly appointed Bai family behind the scenes. Ward.
He listened, his eyes scanning the phone again and again.
Gu Dongting is someone who has been here before and can see clearly.
When Xu Wan came back from cutting a few porcelain roses in the back garden and sat next to them to arrange flowers, he said, "Where is that girl of yours?"
Xu Wan raised her head and looked at them.
Gu Xingze said in a calm tone: "I'm going home."
"Go home?" Xu Wan asked strangely, "Didn't her parents pass away? Is she going back alone?"
He said "hmm" and didn't say much.
Xu Wan has been his mother for more than 20 years, can she not understand the meaning of his reaction?
She glanced at him up and down. He was a tall man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a handsome face, and money. It seemed like she had given him perfect genes, but he still couldn't attract anyone?
"You would rather go all the way home alone than stay with you? It seems you have no charm. You have been wishful thinking for so long."
Gu Xingze frowned, but did not retort as firmly as before outside the ward. Instead, he lowered his eyelids and took another sip of tea, holding his cell phone and turning it around.
Xu Wan hit the nail on the head again: "Isn't it possible that I didn't even call you?"
He stopped turning his cell phone, raised his eyelids and said, "The signal there is not good."
Gu Dongting: "Your mother also used this reason when she was on vacation in Paris."
Xu Wan: "..."
Gu Xingze: "..."
He wanted to say that it was different. The signal in mountainous areas was inherently poor. But the more he explained, the more evidence he got and the more guilty he felt, so he simply didn't say anything.
In the eyes of others, this reaction is a manifestation of "true wishful thinking".
The old man was not too happy and asked: "Is this the victim of the Ning family who caused such a fuss? Call her a girl, how old is she?"
Xu Wan: "I was eighteen when we met."
That was indeed a girl. Gu Zhonglin frowned and asked: "Didn't you say that she was with that boy from the Zhou family at the beginning? There was someone in her heart, and you snatched her away?"
Gu Xingze immediately denied: "No."
"So you forced her?"
"No."
"Then what did you do to make her afraid of you? Hit the woman?"
"Of course not."
Gu Zhonglin put down the tea cup: "Then why doesn't she like you?"
Gu Xingze: "..."
Xu Wan slowly arranged the flowers and said: "It's not just because you are handsome and rich that people like you. And I think he just tells lies. He obviously just robs people and forces them. He can bully people in the hospital until they burst into tears."
.It’s normal if people don’t like it.”
Gu Xingze already had a headache. He had been doubting Yun Shu's love for him, but when his mother said this, he became even more irritated.
There were no calls or messages coming in for a long time. He didn't know when Yun Shu would come back, or if he really wouldn't come back.
After all, her heart is not here.
Xu Wan was still talking to Gu Zhonglin about what happened in the hospital that day: "Dad, that girl called me mom that day, just like when Xingze was four or five years old, she called me Duici. She blushed when she realized she had called me wrong.
Blood."
Gu Zhonglin felt pity: "I have experienced so many things at such a young age."
Xu Wan continued: "So maybe he hasn't had the cure yet. He doesn't know how long he will have to wait for the cure."
When mentioning such a sensitive matter, Gu Zhonglin said to Gu Xingze with a calm expression: "The family doesn't need your marriage help, but there's no need to find someone who doesn't care about you."
Gu Xingze replied without changing his expression: "Then there's no need to find someone I don't like."
He wasn't sure whether Yun Shu was interested in him, but he was only interested in her.
Gu Zhonglin: "So you like people who don't care about you?"
...This sentence makes him feel like he is a masochist who is willing to humble himself.
He said something disgusting in a low voice: "I only like her."
Not that type of person, just her.
The old man was in his seventies or eighties and could not bear to hear such declarations of love, so he drove them away out of sight and out of mind.
Xu Wan walked to the other side of the living room and still said to Gu Xingze: "Your liking is as obvious as when I was a child, but if people don't like you, how can you tie them up?"
He turned on his phone to look at it again and said, "Didn't you also give birth to me when you didn't like dad?"
Xu Wan: "..."
She glared at Gu Dongting next to her: "Just say you have bad genes. Let's see what good things your son is learning from you."
Gu Dongting did not deny the topic of bad genes, he had become accustomed to it over the years.
Then he looked at Gu Xingze's action of lowering his head to check the call on his mobile phone and said, "You let her go and worry about her here again. It's your own fault."
Xu Wan's attention was drawn to her son: "Isn't she in a mountainous area? The signal there is really not good. Don't act like you are gone without receiving a call. Your dad is right, it's your own fault. You have to let her go.
Let’s go.”
It happened that the nanny was calling her in the kitchen, asking her to go and see the dinner prepared. After Xu Wan said this, she left the father and son and went to the kitchen.
Gu Dongting glanced at the elegant woman walking away, turned around and changed his words.
"I'm absent-minded. It's not like there's a place that's not on the map. I'm really afraid that she won't come back, so I chase her."
Gu Xingze didn't answer, he relaxed and looked out at the garden, took a cigarette and lit it.
The misty smoke swirled up along the hanging hand, and was blown away by a gust of wind.
"Dad," he asked suddenly, "were you not afraid that your mother wouldn't like you back then?"
Gu Dongting: "You say you don't like it, but you don't like it? Your mother also said before that you have bad genes and will leave you to others."
But the one who loves him the most is Xu Wan.
Gu Xingze laughed: "Then we can live like this?"
"Why don't you let her marry someone else? When you were a teenager, you were not allowed to touch the mechanical gun you liked. How could you still hesitate to buy something more important when you met it? You are twenty-seven years old.
It’s just the body and not the brain?”
After saying that, he was not in the mood to teach his twenty-seven-eighth son about relationship issues, so he went to the kitchen to find someone.
Gu Xingze stayed there alone, holding a cigarette butt and looking at the smoke.
Like the white smoke that Yun Shu exhaled from her mouth that day.
His father didn't talk to him seriously at all. His heart was focused on his mother, and the question he was considering was not "should I" at all?
He doesn't need to think about this kind of problem. Whether he likes it or not, Yunshu has to be his.
He put out the cigarette butt and thought, forget it, there's no point in worrying about the heartless person.
It's better to bring her back as soon as possible. Without her, insomnia will come back again.
