"No way, when your mom and I separated, we already agreed we'd meet once a week, no backing out, otherwise Yingying might not be able to live with Dad anymore," Gao Jun explained.
Hearing this, Gao Yingying's face showed distress, her small mouth pouted in hurt, "Can I just see her and leave then?"
"That depends on your agreement with Mom," Gao Jun answered.
"Okay..." Gao Yingying, previously joyful over her new clothes, felt sad at the thought of seeing Gu Feier the next day.
Ever since she could remember, in Gao Yingying's impression, Gu Feier didn't like her.
Sometimes it was merely out of a mother's obligation.
But Dad was different.
Who loved her, Gao Yingying was quite clear about that.
So she decided she would meet Gu Feier briefly the next morning and then leave.
The next morning, Gao Jun took Gao Yingying to the courier station.
"Mr. Chen!"
When Chen Haoran saw Gao Yingying hopping over, he was quite surprised, "Ah, Yingying is here!"
Saying that, Chen Haoran rubbed her cheeks, "Your little cheeks, they're so soft, like flour."
"Oh dear, Mr. Chen, you're turning my face into cotton!" Gao Yingying pouted, frowning.
Chen Haoran immediately let go, laughing, "Sorry, Yingying, come on, let me give you some snacks."
Saying that, he took out some snacks from the store.
Gao Yingying's eyes lit up immediately, "Wow! Egg tarts!!"
She sat down on a small stool and enjoyed the delicacy happily.
Chen Haoran then turned to Gao Jun, "Jun, you sort the parcels in the shop today, I'll do the deliveries, and by the way, you can keep an eye on the kid."
Gao Jun explained, "In a bit her mom's taking her to play, it's the visit day that happens once a week."
Upon hearing this, Chen Haoran sighed and said, "It really is troublesome, you two divorced, but you still have to see her occasionally, it's really awkward, but it's hard on you for the sake of the child."
While they were talking, a pink BMW appeared at the entrance of the courier station.
The person who got out was Gu Feier.
Upon seeing her, Chen Haoran immediately showed his displeasure, directly tossing a courier box and saying, "Damn, why are there so many broken boxes today?"
Hearing this, Gu Feier glanced at him but ignored it and went straight to Gao Jun, "I'll bring the child back before five in the afternoon."
"Okay," Gao Jun's expression remained calm as he continued packing parcels.
Watching them busy, Gu Feier couldn't help but feel contempt.
A grown man, working a courier job.
How long would he need to work to afford the BMW parked outside?
At that moment, she felt glad she had divorced.
Then Gu Feier came over to Gao Yingying with a rekindled smile, "Yingying, Mom is here to take you out to play."
Still eating her egg tart, Gao Yingying lost her appetite upon hearing Gu Feier's voice.
But she still pretended to smile and said, "Mom."
"How can you eat such a high-calorie tart, you're a girl, you should establish good skincare from a young age, haven't I taught you that before?" Gu Feier turned back and said to Gao Jun, "Can you not give the child these in the future?"
Gao Jun continued packing parcels as if he hadn't heard her.
Gu Feier, furious, grabbed the egg tart and threw it away, telling Gao Yingying, "Yingying, Mom will take you to a healthy breakfast, not these."
Saying that, she took Gao Yingying's hand and left.
Before getting into the car, Gao Yingying pouted and looked back at Gao Jun.
Gao Jun just smiled and made a phone-call gesture.
This was their previous agreement.
If Gu Feier was mean to her or she wanted to go home, she could call him anytime using her Little Genius watch.
At that time, Gao Jun went to pick up Gao Yingying and take her home.
Gao Yingying nodded and then got in the car.
Gu Feier glanced at Gao Jun with disdain and immediately pressed the gas pedal, leaving the courier station.
After the car had left, Chen Haoran started to complain, "It's just an old BMW, even a low-end version of the 3 Series. Jun, don't worry, when our courier station grows bigger and stronger, we'll buy a Porsche for her to see!"
"There's no need to compare with stuff like that. Material abundance can't fill the emptiness in some people's hearts. Let's just live our own lives well, not comparing with others, only with who we were yesterday," Gao Jun laughed.
After hearing this, Chen Haoran gave a thumbs up, "That's the right attitude, Jun! It's with such attitudes that one can make big money. I believe in you, you will certainly make a comeback!"
"Haha, I hope so."
...
In the BMW.
While driving, Gu Feier asked Gao Yingying, "Yingying, have you missed mommy these past few days?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yingying, playing with her little toy, remained silent.
She didn't know how to answer.
Seeing her expression, Gu Feier, aware of her own neglect, showed concern, "How have you been these days? Has daddy been treating you well? If not, just tell mommy, mommy can take you with her."
"I've had a very good time, daddy loves me very much," Gao Yingying immediately explained.
She didn't want to leave her dad, nor did she want to live with her mom.
Seeing her so eager to respond, Gu Feier felt somewhat disheartened.
But she also knew that she hadn't given much motherly love before, and fortunately, it wasn't too late, so Gu Feier quickly said, "Yingying, mommy will take you to buy some clothes, okay?"
"Daddy already bought me new clothes yesterday." Gao Yingying immediately pointed to her jacket and said, "This one is what daddy bought."
Just then, as the light turned red, Gu Feier looked at the jacket on Gao Yingying.
"This is from Balabala?" Gu Feier didn't expect Gao Jun to actually take the child to a well-known children's clothing store to buy clothes.
[You better not have mistreated Yingying, or else, I'd definitely go to court to get back custody!]
Then Gu Feier continued, "Daddy only bought you one jacket, mommy will buy you two more."
"Daddy bought me seven or eight pieces of clothing yesterday," Gao Yingying explained.
"Seven or eight pieces?" Gu Feier had just started the car and almost slammed on the gas pedal in surprise.
Gao Yingying nodded, "Yes."
"Did you go to other stores, too?"
"No, all at the same store. We spent a lot of money yesterday, I didn't even want to buy it... it's a waste of money," Gao Yingying murmured.
Gu Feier was clearly shocked.
Seven or eight pieces of clothing, considering the average price at the Balabala Clothing Store, would certainly cost at least three to four thousand.
Where did her ex-husband get the money from?
Sending a parcel, being able to get by in a big city like Modu is already good enough.
And yet, he spent a few thousand on clothes for his daughter?
[Bloated face to look fat, I wonder how long you can keep up this act?!]
So, she still drove to the Wanxianghui mall.
"Yingying, mommy will take you to eat sushi. This place has very delicious sushi. I bet your dad wouldn't normally bring you to places like this," Gu Feier cautioned.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yingying frowned and shook her head quietly, "Daddy already brought me here to eat yesterday."
"Here? Are you sure? The First Sushi Restaurant?" Gu Feier clearly couldn't believe it.
After all, this sushi restaurant is one of the top places in Modu Fanhua District.
The average cost per person could be several hundred to a thousand yuan.
Even a big and a small entering this restaurant wouldn't leave well-fed without spending at least a thousand.
Gao Jun actually took his daughter here for a big meal?
