“Gu Yancheng, how old are you this year? I watched you grow up since you were a child. Your mother and I have never let you experience a lack of things. I won’t comment on what you did today, but you have to understand that as long as your surname is Gu, you cannot separate yourself from the Gu family. I have so many employees in the Gu Corporation. If the Gu Corporation goes bankrupt because of you, how will all those employees survive? Your world doesn’t only consist of Lu Qingxin, so you should think about these people! If you think that these people are more important than Lu Qingxin, then treat it as if I said nothing…”
After Gu Yanbai finished speaking, he left the food stall.
Gu Yancheng pushed two suitcases and came out of the food stall.
For the first time in his life, Gu Yancheng felt uncertain about his life.
Where should he go next?
Just as Gu Yancheng was wandering on a busy street corner with nowhere to go, his cell phone rang.
He saw the caller ID on the phone screen, and when he answered the call, the sound of Lu Qingxin sobbing came from the phone.
“Qingxin, what’s the matter?”
Lu Qingxin cried out, “Brother Yancheng, I’m scared. After I woke up, you weren’t here, and the house was dark…”
“Qingxin, where are you now?”
“Bathroom.”
Lu Qingxin was holding her phone. She glanced at the eyebrow trimming knife she put aside, then whispered, “Brother Yancheng, I just had a dream. I dreamed that you married someone else, and abandoned me. Brother Yancheng…are you also like my Mom and Dad, and don’t want me anymore?”
Lu Qingxin’s words made Gu Yancheng feel pity and heartache. He said, “Qingxin, be good. I’ll come to you soon.”
“Brother Yancheng, do you know? Since I was young, my dream was to become your bride, but I’m afraid, afraid that one day, the person you marry won’t be me, but another woman…”
“Qingxin, that’s impossible. Be good, and I will come to you in a while.”
Gu Yancheng hung up the phone. He looked at the two suitcases beside him. He had to find a place to store two suitcases of this size.
Gu Yancheng’s eyes fell on a small hotel in the downtown area, and the signboard of the hotel glowed in pink.
Perviously, Gu Yancheng wouldn’t bother going to this kind of hotel, but he had no money now, so he could only live in such a place.
“Owner, how much is it for a night?”
“A hundred yuan!”
“Give me a room.”
The owner took Gu Yancheng to the room. It was a very small room. There was no window in the room. There was a single bed against the wall and a bedside table beside the single bed. There was also an old style television.
“The bathroom and toilet are shared. It is on the left hand side of the stairs. You must keep your valuables away. If you lose them, I won’t be responsible!”
Gu Yancheng paid the money, and the owner gave the key to Gu Yancheng.
After Gu Yancheng put his suitcases away, he left the hotel and took a taxi to the Lu family’s house.
The villa of the Lu family and the villa of the Gu family weren’t in the same location. The villa of the Lu family was a sea-view villa. As it was far from the city, taxis were seldom willing to come.
When Gu Yancheng took a taxi, he also had to pay extra money to the taxi driver!
“Qingxin.”
The villa was completely dark.
Some faint lights were lit up sporadically only in the garden downstairs.
“Qingxin…”
Gu Yancheng turned on the light of the villa. The crystal light in the living room exuded a brilliant light, but there was a dead silence in the villa.
