Chapter 207: 207 His anger _1
“Ding Yinuo, you’re becoming more and more slick!”
“As long as you like it!”
“Hehe, I still prefer who you were before!”
“Are you a masochist?”
“Not exactly, I just miss the past!”
Ding Yinuo just smiled and looked at me,
“Ayun, we can’t go back! I prefer the way we are now!”
“Why?”
“Because, the you now, is real, is what I want! You are within my grasp, instead of just at the tip of my heart! You get it?”
“Was I not real before?”
Ding Yinuo placed his hands on my shoulders, giving a mysterious smile at the end.
“I’m going to a meeting, we’ll go out for tea at noon!”
“Huh? Ding Yinuo, can’t you focus completely on work, how could you always think about having tea?”
“Money can never be made enough, resting is the most important thing.”
Ding Yinuo’s words left me speechless.
This is Ding Yinuo’s biggest characteristic, as a doctor, his main concern is health, not money.
He is completely different from Gu Yuanzhou.
He doesn’t quite act like a boss, just like everyone else, he prefers to work from nine to five on time.
Actually, when he first took over, he was quite professional, attending meetings and managing stuff.
But ever since Tianjiao Company got on the right track, he got a bit slack. Besides work, he likes to take me out for tea, to chat.
But it all started to change from here.
Last time I made a few high-end gowns for Mei Ni
After that, she happened to recover from her divorce and reunited with her husband.
She showed up at the company’s annual gala a few times, wearing my designs.
This was undoubtedly advertising for me.
Then, with Ding Yinuo’s additional online advertising promotion, orders started pouring in like snowflakes.
It was from this time, Tianjiao’s stocks started to soar, and slowly more people started to invest in us.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
But Gu Yuanzhou seemed restless.
That afternoon, I received a call from Aunt Wu Lijuan.
“Miss Song, I’ve recently recovered from my illness and left the hospital, I want to invite you to dinner, could you come by?”
“Sure!”
I haven’t seen Wu Lijuan in a long time.
I was busy with work at Tianjiao and couldn’t find the time.
Now I have some free time; it’s about time I pay her a visit.
After work, I bought some health supplements and arrived at the Song Family’s door.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a familiar figure. It was Gu Yuanzhou.
He was sitting on the sofa, talking to Wu Lijuan.
“Ah, Xiaosong, you’re here!”
“Auntie, hello!”
Seeing that I’ve brought a bunch of gifts, Wu Lijuan said,
“It’s just a casual meal, why bring so many gifts?”
“It’s a small token of my appreciation!”
I put the gifts down with a smile.
“Come, sit down for a bit. I’ll go check on the kitchen, dinner will be ready soon, you two can chat!”
Wu Lijuan left the living room with the gifts.
Soon, only Gu Yuanzhou and I were left in the living room.
The moment I saw Gu Yuanzhou, I wanted to leave.
As I lowered my head to check my phone, Gu Yuanzhou also got up to answer a call.
I didn’t know who he was calling, he was on the phone for over ten minutes.
It seemed like he was looking for someone
“Yes, you have to help me find them! The older one is six or seven, the younger one about three. The older one is a girl, the younger one a boy Money is not an issue, but you have to help me find them.”
His description made my heart stir.
These are the ages of my two children, but they’re gone. What is he looking for?
Unfortunately, I only heard a few sentences before he hung up. He didn’t put it on speakerphone, so I don’t know what the other person said.
Soon, Wu Lijuan returned,
“Xiao Gu, take Miss Song to dinner!”
“Sure, Auntie!”
Gu Yuanzhou stood up with his phone, gave me a glance,
“Let’s go eat!”
I looked up from my phone at him, then followed him to the dining room.
The housekeeper had prepare the meals, and Wu Lijuan was already at the table.
“Your uncle rarely comes home these days, and there is no one else at home! It feels lifeless, I know you’re busy and can hardly spare any time. But, even if you come to visit, I’m already very happy.”
Wu Lijuan let out a sigh.
Gu Yuanzhou said, “Didn’t I have Zexi and Siwen come back last week?”
Wu Lijuan shook her head and sighed,
“They’ve both been abroad for well over ten years. It’s unlikely they’ll come back. However, I received a call a few days ago from Zexi. He wanted me to go to the United States for treatment. But I’m already old, I don’t want to go anywhere.”
As Wu Lijuan said this, she served a piece of meat to Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou was silent for a while, “They’re still young, a good man should have ambition. Travelling abroad is also a way to gain experience.”
Wu Lijuan shook her head, “In the past, your uncle’s businesses were doing well, and the company was thriving. These past few years, I’m afraid it’s not going so well ”
Gu Yuanzhou’s face was expressionless, “Auntie, there’s no need to worry. Should anything unexpected happen, I’m still here.”
Wu Lijuan sighed, “In the past if you said these words, I would’ve felt comforted. But Ayun is gone, you’re still young, and will someday need to remarry. Your new wife, how could she allow you to support us?”
Gu Yuanzhou put down his chopsticks, first looked at me, then slowly turned to Wu Lijuan.
“Auntie, I made a promise to Ayun! Since she’s no longer here, I will take care of you on her behalf, I will support you in retirement! I keep my word!”
Hearing his solemn lie, I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Gu Yuanzhou turned to me, staring at me with cold eyes, “What are you laughing at?”
“A weasel pays a New Year visit to the chicken, no good intentions!”
“If you don’t have something good to say, don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!”
Gu Yuanzhou seemed angry, his tone was extremely blunt.
However, I can understand Gu Yuanzhou’s anger. After all, he’s been competing with me for a long time and has been losing. It’s normal to feel a bit uneasy.
Wu Lijuan sighed, “Yuanzhou, it’s said that the dead should be buried in peace, when will Ayun and the kids get their proper burial?”
Gu Yuanzhou was silent.
He poured himself a glass of wine, took a gentle sip, and after a long while, he finally spoke.
“I still can’t accept the reality. As long as no funeral has been held, I still feel they are with me!”
At this, Wu Lijuan’s eyes started to water and she reached for a tissue to wipe her tears.
“Yuanzhou, you are a good man. It’s such a pity Ayun wasn’t lucky enough to have you! You need to let go of the past and look forward to the future! You’re still young, you can find someone else, get married, have children, and start anew. Otherwise, if you spend your entire life stuck in the past, how are you going to live?”
Gu Yuanzhou replied, “I thought about it, I tried, but I couldn’t do it! Every time I close my eyes, what I see is the horrible scene of them being taken by the fire “
