Chapter 55
(I added a few hundred words at the end of the previous chapter, babies who urged updates might not have seen it)
Dao Luo led the two drunk women out.
By the roadside, there was a parked glossary_Veiooi_glossary, the car body was shiny black, the man wearing a black shirt was tall and straight, handsome and sharp, standing silently there.
If Dao Luo didn't remember wrongly, it was twelve o'clock now.
Glossary_Gu_Wen_glossary had been waiting for an hour.
She was quite surprised. Her big brother said that the person in charge of the Gu Family was not easy to provoke. He would not give anyone face, he was not afraid of offending anyone, this person was very difficult to get along with.
She had just drank and was annoyed, so she didn't care. She felt bad for Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary and knew what kind of suffering she had endured.
But it would be false to say she was not afraid. If the Gu Family's man really did not treat her properly and held it against her, her big brother would deport her overnight.
He would personally pick up Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary. Yet he was patient enough to wait there for an hour. Dao Luo felt something was wrong. Didn't the Gu Family have enough people that he had to come in person?
In Glossary_Shang_Xi's_glossary words, they just lived together because of Glossary_Baby_Shang's_glossary health condition, they were business partners, with no other relationship.
Would a business partner stand by the roadside for an hour in the middle of the night to wait for her?
She felt something wasn't right.
Could this cheap dad have taken a liking to Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary?
She pulled the two drunk women along, also a bit unsteady on her feet. The next second, Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary saw the familiar car that she and her son often rode.
She slipped her hands out of Dao Luo’s: “I'm going back, baby must be waiting for me in the car.”
“Take a good look at who's next to the car!”
“Who is it?” Glossary_Shang_Xi's_glossary face was flushed, her body swayed, she squinted to look at the tall figure walking towards her.
With her blurred and shaking vision, she finally managed to see the man's face clearly. Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary scoffed, completely indifferent: “It's him. Don’t mind him.”
Usually when she sat in the same car as this person, she ignored him like a rock.
So at this moment, she directly ignored the man and walked past him, staggering towards the car.
“Glossary_Shang_Xi!_ Come back!” Dao Luo was still holding onto one woman, she didn't expect Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary to leave just like that when she hadn't intended to hand her over to Gu Wen yet, who knew what this person would do.
Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary looked back, smiling brightly, waving her hand: “Sister Dao, bye bye, see you tomorrow.”
After speaking, her foot slipped and she almost became intimate with the ground.
Then, there was a tight feeling around her waist, and a pair of big hands held her. She struggled to turn her face and met a pair of silent, deep dark eyes.
The person's ears were red, his thin lips pursed, somewhat awkwardly said: “Let me help you to the car.”
Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary stared at him for a moment, then suddenly shook off his hands and stood up straight, frowning her delicate and pretty eyebrows: “What are you doing? Grabbing me whenever you want.”
Gu Wen paused briefly.
Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary had already turned around and walked towards the car. “Baby, did mummy make you wait for a long time?”
When she was close to the car, it was as if the car door sensed something and automatically opened slowly. The light inside was on, Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary climbed in.
Dao Luo: “......”
Forget it.
She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Wen directly: “Mr. Gu, may I have a word? Would you oblige?”
Gu Wen hmm-ed.
This was the friend of the child’s mother, not a pure human in business. He should treat them differently.
After getting Glossary_Zhou_Ziyou_glossary into her own car and closing the door, Dao Luo stood in front of the bar’s entrance in the night. She lifted her chin, crossed her arms, and her voice carried a hint of tension that was not easy to detect: “I'll get straight to the point. What exactly happened between you and Glossary_Shang Xi_glossary that year, only you two know clearly. But this child was brought up by Glossary_Shang Xi_glossary through thick and thin. You were absent for so many years, I don't think you have the right to ask for the child."
When facing someone like Gu Wen, Dao Luo looked very arrogant on the surface, but her heart was shouting: Big brother, spare me! Don't deport me!
Appearing arrogant externally but panicking internally, her mouth continued: “Glossary_Shang Xi_glossary is shy, she can’t bring it up. So I’m saying it for her: Please settle the child support in one go. As far as I know, Mr. Gu has plenty of money, right?"
Her arrogant and fierce eyes spelled two words: money!
Next second, she heard Gu Wen say seriously in his low and clear voice: “Dao miss is right, I indeed have no right. No matter if it’s your unbalanced feelings as Glossary_Shang Xi's_glossary friend, or the child’s support fees, I should provide them." His gaze fell on the car not far away. The woman couldn't find the child in the car, so she got out and walked around the car in circles, calling out for baby over and over again.
Drunk, she lost her usual rationality and composure, which was quite cute.
Seeing her put his heart at ease.
His sickness was also cured.
Turned out she didn't go out on a date with Rong Wen after all.
This fact greatly pleased him to a large extent.
In his deep, inscrutable dark eyes, there was indefinable emotion: “As long as she asks, as long as I have it, I will give it to her. Here (the human world), I have many things that I can exchange for money. Money, houses, cars, planes... I can share them all with her.
What she wants but I don’t have, I will also work hard to give her.”
Dao Luo had drank a lot too. Although she was not as much a lightweight as those two greenhorns Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary and Glossary_Zhou_Ziyou_glossary who got drunk, she was also affected by the alcohol.
"Mr. Gu, are you reciting your lines? Why does it sound like you're chasing her, confessing to her?"
Gu Wen paused.
Suddenly realising something: “Does Miss Dao mean sending these things is how you pure humans court each other?"
“What?” Dao Luo thought, she was too lazy to think further: “Ah yes yes, just send more planes and houses and stuff to Glossary_Shang_Xi_glossary, that’ll do.”
“Thank you, I see.” Gu Wen nodded seriously.
The alcohol started numbing her brain belatedly. Dao Luo wondered, she felt that Gu Wen was not as difficult to get along with as her big brother had said.
Just then, a woman in white walked over.
“Luoluo, time to go home.”
Hearing the voice, Dao Luo was given a shock. She hurriedly ran over: “Sis! Why did you come out? Big brother and mum and dad will be angry if they know!”
Dao Family Second Sister nodded lightly at Gu Wen, smiling gently, appearing very warm and gentle. Then she led her younger sister away: “Sister hasn't come out for years, I can’t stay home forever right? I have to come out and walk around sometimes.”
Gu Wen did not listen to the sisters' conversation.
He stared at the woman beside the car, deep in thought.
Then, as if thinking of something, his ears started turning red.
Today I moved house and was tired after a day of it. I'm going back tomorrow for my dad's 60th birthday banquet and need to cook to entertain guests, so updates may be irregular. Thank you babies for the support.
