Chapter 706: Bumping Into an Old Friend
Only she could help her Brother Gu now.
It looked like her father hadn’t agreed to Gu Shaoting’s request, so she needed to step in.
It wasn’t like she was unwilling to help, but her help came with conditions.
Mr. John walked to their golf buggy after a while. Gu Shaoting was just resting with his eyes closed (he wouldn’t fall asleep, of course), so he immediately opened his eyes when he heard John approaching.
“Mr. John, I’m so ashamed of myself. See how I’m exhausted after only two rounds?” Gu Shaoting found an excuse for his loss of composure.
“It’s been hard on you.” John saw the fatigue on Gu Shaoting’s face and understood his real reason.
“Time flies. It’s almost noon. Let’s have lunch together.” Charlene suggested. She was wracking her brain for ways to spend more time with Gu Shaoting.
“Sure.” Gu Shaoting nodded. He had to eat after all. Besides, he was asking Mr. John for a favor.
The lunch venue was picked by Charlene. It was not far from the golf course, just ten minutes away. It was a very high-end Western restaurant.
After the three of them sat down, Charlene took the menu and scooched over to Gu Shaoting.
“Brother Gu, what would you like to have? The steak here is quite good. You can give it a try.” Charlene’s enthusiasm made Gu Shaoting feel a little overwhelmed.
John, who was sitting across from Charlene, couldn’t help but frown when he saw his daughter’s behavior. How could he not know what his own daughter was thinking?
But Shaoting was already married. Charlene was just being stupid.
He could only blame himself for spoiling her. That was why she did things with abandon now. How dare she even consider doing such a thing?
But he couldn’t call her out in front of other people, so John kept his mouth shut.
Gu Shaoting saw Charlene moving closer to him and made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Gu Shaoting took a paper towel after washing his hands and looked up at the mirror in front of him. Through the mirror, he saw a somewhat familiar face.
Gu Shaoting’s action of wiping his hands slowed a little as he stared at the person’s reflection before he remembered that it was Tong Fei.
The name had disappeared from his mind for a while now. He recalled the moment when he asked her to disappear from his sight and leave the country if possible for everyone’s sake.
He didn’t expect her to really leave the country and landed in France.
But it was understandable. She was already well-known outside of China. What happened to her in China was unknown to her clients and fans abroad, so she could start over here.
He saw Tong Fei sitting with a middle-aged man. Her gaze at the man was slightly dazed and she looked a little shy. The man said something to her and made her cover her mouth with her hand. The man took the opportunity to grab her hand.
Gu Shaoting was a little surprised. This Tong Fei was nothing like the Tong Fei he knew.
He frowned slightly and thought for a moment. He then threw the paper towel into the trash can and walked back to his table.
Tong Fei seemed to have sensed that someone was staring at her. She turned her head and saw a familiar figure walking away, a figure that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
However, she quickly denied what she saw. She must be missing him so much that she was seeing things. Why would he be here?
Her feelings for Gu Shaoting was very complicated. She loved and hated him at the same time. After all, she was forced to leave China and live a difficult life here all thanks to him. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state now. No one could understand how she felt right now.
When she came to France again, her situation was no longer the same as before. After all, she wasn’t young like before and she couldn’t compete with the young and beautiful models here.
