witcher of light

Chapter 79

Wang Li finally sat down, after all, Mr. Gu put a lot of pressure on him.

He took a few symbolic mouthfuls, and then said, "Well, why don't you always see how my work is doing?"

Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "I saw it, it's pretty good."

Wang Li said again: "Then if that's the case, I'm leaving?"

"No hurries?"

Wang Li said: "There may still be tasks from the board of directors looking for me."

He also felt baffled about this point, why so many people suddenly asked him to do housekeeping, and he was appointed by the council.

This kind of task is generally the prerogative of mid-level demon hunters.

This assignment comes after you have established a relationship with some powerful people.

The designated task will only be released as a normal task if the designated person clearly cannot complete it.

But Wang Li should not be that famous in the circle of those rich people. How could so many people appoint him?
Mr. Gu laughed, and said, "Don't worry, there won't be anything looking for you over there."

A certain thought in Wang Li's mind came to him instantly, and he asked, "Did you find someone to place all the orders I took?"

Mr. Gu smiled and said: "I just praised you in my circle, and they know you are here, so they will not rob me."

Wang Li nodded thoughtfully.

But when he looked at Mr. Gu again, his eyes were full of vigilance.

What does this old man want to do?
Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "Don't act like this, just pretend that I paid you to be my companion, can't you?"

Wang Li analyzed it vigilantly and said, "It's not impossible, but it depends on what you want to talk to me about."

Mr. Gu said: "Don't be nervous, just talk about me, you, Linjiang City, and Gao Hai."

Wang Li was waiting for his next words.

Mr. Gu has already entered the state: "I, my real name is Gu Hui, but I was originally a poor boy in Linjiang City."

"At that time, Linjiang City was very lively. The port was always full of ships, and the wharf was crowded with workers waiting for work."

"At that time, I also worked as a porter unloading goods at the dock, as a foreman, and even as a gangster."

"In Linjiang City in that era, opportunities were everywhere, and black and white were not so clear."

"I also earned the first pot of gold in my life by being young and aggressive, and slowly developed in this Linjiang City, and finally became one of the richest people in this Linjiang City."

When he said this, he changed the subject and asked, "What about you, you are so young and capable now, do you have any ideas for the future?"

Wang Li was suddenly asked, but felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said bluntly, "No, I just want to be with my family."

Gu Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's good to be with your family, the more you spend with your family, the true happiness."

"Unlike me, I always forget my family when I'm working hard."

"In the end, I became the lonely family I am today."

Wang Li asked strangely: "Mr. Gu, you are so old, haven't you ever married?"

Gu Hui shook his head and said: "Those so-called 'family members' now are just looking for my inheritance, so let's not mention it. In the early years, there was a quiet girl who followed me through hardships, but we didn't get married, so we can only be regarded as a private life. "

"It's a pity that I ignored her when I had some money."

"There are more feasting and feasting around me, so naturally I slowly alienate her."

"That was a woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She didn't cry at me, but suddenly left my life at a certain time and never appeared again."

"That was, 40 years ago."

As Gu Hui said, the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red again.

For Gu Hui who suddenly fell in love, Wang Li was still in a state of confusion, what should he do?
Fortunately, Gu Hui continued: "I was ignorant at the time, I just thought that it would be good if that woman left, and I would be able to put aside all my scruples."

"I left Linjiang City and went to Gaohai, where I saw the ultimate luxury and enjoyment, but my heart became more and more empty."

"She's been gone for 40 years and I've missed her for at least half of that time."

"After she left, I have also found many women, but these women came for my money. I have never met a woman who can let me put down all my defenses and get along with me at ease."

"Those children also fought for those family properties in front of me, and even wished that I would die sooner."

"Later, I simply handed over all my property to them, and returned to my hometown, Linjiang City, to prepare for the rest of my life."

Although Wang Li didn't know what was going on here, he obediently stood by and listened.

At this time, Gu Hui changed the subject and asked, "Wang Li, can I call you A Li?"

Wang Li felt a little offended.

But it was impolite to refuse, so I could only bite the bullet and respond: "Yes."

Gu Hui smiled easily and said, "Then Ah Li, where are you from?"

Is it really gossip?
After Wang Li thought about it, there was nothing he couldn't say, mainly because he didn't know what happened to him when he was a child.

He said: "I should be a native of Linjiang City. I heard from my mother that she was born in Linjiang City before, and then went to Gaohai to have me, and then returned to Linjiang City to live."

Gu Hui's expression shook, and he asked, "Then do you have any relatives in Linjiang City?"

Wang Li thought for a while and said, "No more, my mother and I have always been two people."

"But now my mother is probably going to get married again, so she has something to rely on again."

As he spoke, he couldn't help showing a rather 'kind' smile.

On the surface, he seemed to be on guard against Ye Mu, but in fact, he was very satisfied with this stepfather in his heart.

At least Ye Mu really dotes on Jiang Li, that's enough.

He was obviously a son, but in the end he developed a kind of old father mentality, which is what happens to a person with a very broad mind like him.

Gu Hui nodded, what more would he like to ask.

In the end, Wang Li turned against the guest and said, "Mr. Gu, when you returned to Linjiang City, you also wanted to find out if there was any news about that woman from 40 years ago?"

Gu Hui nodded and said, "Yes, I have thought about it a little bit."

Wang Li asked, "Then did you find it?"

Gu Hui looked at him, and finally shook his head: "She is dead."

Wang Li wasn't surprised, but was puzzled by Gu Hui's attitude.

At the same time, he began to doubt his own life experience.

However, he didn't say anything in front of Gu Hui, but when he got home, he had to ask his mother carefully.

Gu Hui didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and pondered.

After thinking about it, Wang Li offered to leave.

This time Gu Hui didn't stop him.

After Wang Li said goodbye, he rode on the little electric donkey and returned home with a heavy heart.

Speaking of it, his memory of his childhood is actually quite weak.

Perhaps it was because he was already mentally abnormal at that time, because he received too much information from the outside world, so that he would always ignore what happened around him.

So before the age of six, he always looked foolish, and only after the age of six did he start to really remember things.

And from the time he could remember, Jiang Yan was the only one by his side.
