The next day, Fu Nanli was dressed in a black suit. Wen Qiao leaned against the closet in the cloakroom and helped him button up his shirt. She then reached out to hug him."I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner."
"Alright," he said.
In the midsummer evening, on Jing Nan road, Gu Xiao's grandmother came out of the kitchen with the dishes. let's have dinner.
Gu Xiao was about to pick up his chopsticks when he heard the sound of high heels hitting the bluestone road. He looked up and saw his mother standing at the door.
The old lady's face darkened when she saw her daughter. She stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Gu Xiao's hand and said,"Let's eat, let's eat."
He acted as if he did not see Gu Yunzhu.
Gu Yunzhu's steps were unsteady. She walked over and pulled a low stool over to sit down. The old lady frowned. you reek of alcohol. Why are you drinking in broad daylight? why are you drinking at home? did you drive here? "
Gu Yunzhu waved her hand. I called for a taxi. How could I drive under the influence of alcohol? "
I told you not to come over, " the old lady said angrily. you're dressed so well that you'll scare the neighbors.
I'm your daughter, " Gu Yunzhu said unwillingly. why are you always so cold to me? "
you know what you've done. the old lady held the bowl. I don't want to criticize you in front of the child.
Gu Yunzhu's eyes were red. today is his death anniversary. I didn't even have the right to visit his grave. He killed himself as soon as he found out I was pregnant. Our Gu Xiao didn't even see his father. What did I do wrong? "
"Shut up! Xiao, your mother is drunk and crazy. Go and get her a taxi and let her go back."
When Gu Xiao went out, Gu Yunzhu looked at her mother with indignation."What's wrong with loving someone? What was wrong? You're my mother. It's been so many years, why are you still giving me that attitude?"
you gave birth to a child who shouldn't have appeared in this world. He was born without a father and had to face a mother like you. All these years, you've instilled so many words that he shouldn't have to bear. What I hate is this. You're not a qualified mother. You shouldn't have destroyed a good child. Don't see ah Xiao so much in the future.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as Gu Xiao said in a low voice, " "The taxi is here."
"You can leave now," the old lady waved her hand.
Gu Yunzhu gritted her teeth. mom, you'll regret doing this to me. You'll definitely regret it when I get back what belongs to me. When I've gained a foothold in Haicheng's upper-class circle, you'll definitely regret it.
After that, he hurried out of the door.
Gu Xiao did not say a word throughout the entire process. The old lady looked at him worriedly."Ah Xiao, you must not learn from your mother, okay? Money is just a worldly possession, the real thing is to live a down-to-earth life."
"I understand, grandma," Gu Xiao lowered his eyes.
The old lady happily picked up some food for him."Good child, good child."
As night fell and they returned from the cemetery, Fu Nanli stood outside the door, gently brushing away the pine needles and leaves that had fallen on his shoulders, as well as his desolation and loneliness. He then reached out to key in the password.
Wen Qiao, who was studying Finance and Economics out of boredom, turned off the stock market on her computer screen.
Because Fu Nanli's cousins were always eyeing his family fortune covetously, and Wen Qiao was always worried that he would be schemed against by others, she wanted to learn it herself so that she could help him share some of the burden.
In fact, ever since Fu Jiang was in prison, she had been reading some financial books and videos, and she had started to study hard when Fu Cheng's ambition was exposed.
