Drunk in marriage: abduct an ex-wife and marry
Chapter 401 Family Affairs (1 words
"Zhou Mingxiu and I were together before Yuanyuan and I were together," He Dong seemed to see through Fan Zhizhong's thoughts, and took the initiative to answer his questions, "And we have broken up now, just when you met us that day."
"You should tell Yuanyuan these words." Fan Zhizhong's tone was stiff, and the responsibility of Yuanyuan's disappearance was too great.
"I want to too, but I can't find her now." He Dong's cold eyes turned into distress.
As a colleague and brother, Fan Zhizhong naturally caught this subtle change, and at the same time he also understood that Yuanyuan is not so indifferent to He Dong. Let him worry about people.
"Okay, I'll help you find Yuanyuan together, but you have to promise me that you will never bully her again." Fan Zhizhong thumped He Dong's chest, which meant reconciliation. "Definitely." He Dong's voice was still so indifferent, but his tone was quite certain.
"Don't forget, while looking for your sweethearts, help me find my wife and son as well." Gu Chao coldly reminded the two subordinates that the boss's affairs are more important.
"I know, I know, I have always arranged for someone to look for my sister-in-law." Fan Zhizhong quickly expressed his attitude.
"I'm going back to City A for a while starting tomorrow. He Dong will be very busy here. Zhizhong, you need to help him more. The job of finding people can be left to others for the time being." Gu Chaozheng looked straight and explained " The guest I invited is coming soon, you should split up and do your work separately, remember to contact me in time if you need anything."
"Ok."
Fan Zhizhong and He Dong left the hotel at the same time. As soon as He Dong got out of the hotel gate, he drove his car like a gust of wind to the animation base.As for Fan Zhizhong, Shan Xiaoxi was sitting in the co-pilot waiting for him.
Unlike Gu Chao and He Dong, these days are very carefree and comfortable. Since the last time Xiaoxi and Shan Xiaoxi got drunk in a bar and rolled the sheets in a daze, the two started dating frequently out of control, b Almost all the hotels big and small in the city have left their figures in and out.
As the saying goes, the fastest and most effective way to forget a little feeling is to start a new relationship. The two of them belong to this situation. Two people who have amnesia and lovelorn meet by chance, just like meeting each other The fire can't be stopped.
"Are you and He Dong still having trouble with Yuanyuan?"
As soon as Fan Zhizhong got back in the car, Shan Xiaoxi asked him a question. When she saw He Dong coming out of the hotel, she drove away without saying hello to Fan Zhizhong.
Although she had never expressed any opinion on Fan Zhizhong's liking for Yuanyuan, she actually cared a little bit in her heart, after all, she had seen Fan Zhizhong turn against He Dong in public for Yuanyuan.It can be seen that Yuanyuan occupies a very important weight in Fan Zhizhong's heart.
He didn't know whether Yuanyuan was still so important to him after he was with him.
This was the question that Shan Xiaoxi was most concerned about, but she couldn't save face and wanted to know the answer, so she could only use this insignificant question to make a side note.
"How could it be? I'm already very satisfied with you by my side. As for Yuanyuan, I'll leave that big iceberg to He Dong."
How could someone as smart as Fan Zhizhong fail to guess what Shan Xiaoxi was thinking? With one sentence, Shan Xiaoxi's worries were resolved.
"But doesn't He Dong already have a girlfriend?" Shan Xiaoxi recalled the pair of siblings he met when he ate boiled fish last time, and that woman seemed to be He Dong's real girlfriend.
"We broke up already, the day we met them." Fan Zhizhong relayed He Dong's words to Shan Xiaoxi.
"Oh, so that's the case," Shan Xiaoxi nodded, and then asked as if remembering something, "Could it be because of what you said that they broke up?"
"I don't know," Fan Zhizhong shook his head, "Even if it was, I wouldn't feel guilty, it was He Dong who was at fault." Fan Zhizhong's face was not as comfortable as before, but tinged with anger and distress.
Shan Xiaoxi stopped talking. She understood Fan Zhizhong. After all, he had used his true feelings for Yuanyuan, and it was normal for him to feel distressed because of her being wronged.Just like herself, even though she already has Fan Zhizhong and the two of them are very happy together, occasionally seeing Du Ruo's melancholy eyes makes her heart ache for no reason.
There are some things that no one can completely replace at once. A relationship needs passion, but it also needs management. She thinks that she will manage the relationship with Fan Zhizhong well. No matter what the ending is, she doesn't want to leave any regrets.
"Xiaoxi, come with me to my uncle's house for dinner tonight." Fan Zhizhong's right hand quietly held Shan Xiaoxi's left hand on his knee at some point.
He didn't look at Shan Xiaoxi when he said this, he was afraid that the other party would see the tension in his eyes, this was the first time he invited a woman to meet his elders.
Shan Xiaoxi looked at Fan Zhizhong in surprise. Although his eyes were avoiding her, she still felt his sincerity. It turned out that this big carrot who was laughing and joking all day would also be shy.
"Okay," Shan Xiaoxi agreed in a low voice, "but I don't know what to wear to see your uncle." She knew that Fan Zhizhong's uncle was the deputy mayor of City B, and she was a little nervous since she had never dealt with officials.
"It's simple, just what you are wearing now, my uncle is very easy-going." Seeing Shan Xiaoxi agreeing, Fan Zhizhong was relieved, and finally dared to turn his head and talk to her.
"Then why don't you bring some gifts? Can you accompany me to pick out gifts this afternoon?" It was the first time to meet Fan Zhizhong's elders.
Although his own conditions are not bad, compared with Fan Zhizhong, there is still a certain gap after all, especially the family conditions of the two families are very different.Although Fan Zhizhong never said anything, isn't the unfortunate marriage between his good friend Qin Juchu and Gu Chao a living example.
Gu Chao's love for Qin Juchu is definitely no less than Fan Zhizhong's love for himself, even worse than that, but he still failed to save Qin Juchu, still made her suffer in the Gu family, and even failed to keep her child.
Most of the reasons why the marriage between Qin Juchu and Gu Chao went to perish before was that Gu Chao's family was too glorious.This also cast a shadow on Shan Xiaoxi's heart, and she couldn't help but start to worry about her future.
"Mom." Gu Chao rushed to the hospital where Zhao Ke was staying as soon as he got off the plane, and he hadn't seen her for a few months. After the divorce, his mother seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, and Gu Chao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Gu Chao, you're back." Zhao Ke who was resting his eyes closed his eyes when he heard Gu Chao's voice, and opened his eyes in surprise, "Where are Xiao Ran and his mother, why didn't they come back with you?" Zhao Ke looked at Gu Ran Behind him, he found that there was no expected face, and the expression on his face was obviously a little disappointed.
"Is it because Ju Chu is not sure to forgive me, so he doesn't want to bring Xiao Ran to see me." At this time, Zhao Ke had lost his usual arrogance.
"No mom," Gu Chao didn't want his mother to worry, so he concealed the fact that Qin Juchu disappeared with Gu Ran, and told a white lie, "Something happened to Mumu's parents. Xiaoran went to see them, so she didn't come to see you with me. "
"That's good," Zhao Ke nodded, "As long as she doesn't hate Mom and is willing to marry you, Mom is willing to apologize to her for what happened before." Zhao Ke said emotionally, tears of regret filled her eyes.
After the divorce, Zhao Ke wanted to understand many things. At the beginning, he and Gu Dingbang believed that marriage must be a good match, and they wanted to break up Gu Chao and Qin Chuchu, but the result was that his son lost the happiness he should have had, and his mother-child relationship was also weak. a lot.
She and Gu Shiguang are in the same family, but in the end they are still on the road to divorce, so she figured it out, the most important thing in marriage is not being in the same family, but in love, so she hopes that her son can get back Qin Juchu, and get back because The happiness that I missed because of my mistake as a mother.
"Mom, Mumu, she has forgiven you a long time ago," Gu Chao held Zhao Ke's hand, and his mother's self-blame made him feel distressed, "So don't keep blaming yourself, a large part of what happened back then was also because of me. Relationship."
If she had not provoked Lin Ran after getting married back then, Lin Ran would not have conceived her own child, and Mu Mu would not have been so desperate, and their marriage would not have come to an end.
"It's mom who's sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Chu Chu. Mom's only wish now is that you can remarry and live a good life with Gu Ran." Zhao Ke held Gu Chao tightly with both hands. The only thing she has been guarding all her life, the only thing she can care about is the happiness of her son.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will bring Mumu and Xiaoran to see you next time I come back."
Gu Ran said this very seriously. He not only said it to Zhao Ke, but also to himself. He must find Mumu. Only when Mumu is by his side can his heart gain peace and tranquility. .
After Gu Chao left the hospital, he went to visit Gu Dingbang in the Gu family compound.
The old man seemed to be in good health, and he seemed very happy to see his grandson take the initiative to visit him, but just like Zhao Ke, he was a little disappointed not to see his precious grandson.
"Qin Juchu, does she still refuse to agree to remarry you?"
Gu Dingbang's voice still carries the inherent majesty. His whole life in the military has made him a habit of seriousness, and he can't get rid of this habit even when facing his family.
"Mumu has her own ideas, I don't want to force her." Gu Chao said in a blunt tone.
Facing the grandfather, there is always some estrangement. Whether it is the marriage of his parents or his own, the old man has participated too much, and the result is the collective misfortune of the entire Gu family.
"Do you mean that you have given up the idea of letting Qin Chuchu remarry you?" Gu Dingbang was a little annoyed by the grandson's rigid attitude towards him, but he was helpless.
"Of course not. I'm just waiting for Mumu's approval. I will never give up Mumu in my life. My mother is still in the hospital. I want to spend more time with her." Seeing that the old man was full of confidence, Gu Chao got up and prepared to leave.
"Are you so unwilling to spend more time with me, an old man?"
Gu Dingbang's voice was still majestic, but when it fell into Gu Chao's ears, he could hear a trace of bitterness.
After all, he is an elderly person, no matter how powerful he was when he was young, no matter how much he promised, now he is just an ordinary old man who just wants to have the company of his family.
Gu Chao sighed in his heart, even though he complained about him in a thousand ways, but he was his grandfather connected by blood after all, and he was his important relative.
"Then let me play chess with you, old man."
What Gu Chao said made Gu Dingbang's eyes reveal surprise, and this was the first time that his grandson took the initiative to play chess with him.
"Okay, grandpa will let you take half of the world, and only use one chariot and cannon."
Gu Dingbang is very confident in his chess skills. At the same time, he also knows that his grandson is busy with the company's affairs, so he must not be good at chess. In order to be fair, and of course mainly to increase Gu Chao's interest, he offered to use only one chariot .
Gu Chao didn't reject the old man's proposal, because he knew the gap between the two, no matter how much he gave in, he would lose, so it's better to follow the old man's wish and make him happy.
"Haha, Gu Chao, you may be able to go straight ahead in the business field, but you are still slightly inferior to grandpa in the game of chess." Gu Dingbang won three games in a row, in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What kind of great happy event can make my always serious grandfather laugh so exaggeratedly." When Rong Shao came in, he just heard Gu Dingbang's laughter, and made fun of his grandfather.
"You child is just not as stable as Gu Chao."
Gu Dingbang returned to his usual seriousness, and looked at Rong Shao strangely.
"That's right, he's the elder brother, am I the younger brother?" Rong Shao said with a smile, completely ignoring Gu Dingbang's seriousness.Anyway, since childhood, my grandfather has always had this expression.
"Just now Gu Chao lost three games in a row. Come on, you also come to play a few games with grandpa." It was rare that both grandson and grandson came to visit him, and Gu Dingbang seemed particularly interested.
"I'll forget it," Rong Shao shook his head hastily, "I'm not even half of my cousin's level, if you follow me, isn't that the same as an adult bullying a child?"
"You are also children." Gu Dingbang said with some anger, and turned his head to the side in anger, not looking at his two grandchildren anymore.
Naturally, in his eyes, no matter whether it is a grandson or a grandson, he is still just a child, but he doesn't know why he is like an old child who can't eat candy now.
Gu Chao and Rong Shao looked at each other and smiled, and sat next to the old man on the left and right to talk with him.Gu Dingbang wasn't really angry in the first place, seeing his grandchildren so close to him now, he happily forgot the previous unhappiness.
Gu Chao and Rong Shao stayed with Gu Dingbang in the Gu family compound for a whole day, and they left together after dinner.
"Cousin, there is something you might be interested in."
After walking out of the Gu family compound, Rong Shao stopped in front of Gu Chao, his face was not serious, but it was definitely not the usual hippie smile.
"What?" Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Gu Chao stopped to listen to him continue.
"No, you can see for yourself." Rong Shao took out his phone, pulled out a photo and handed it to Gu Chao.
Gu Chao took the phone in doubt, and looked at Rong Shao in confusion, "This is?" He didn't recognize the person in the photo.
"That woman is your father's new love," Rong Shao paused on purpose when he said this, "That's your stepmother—Zhou Mi. As for that child, it is said to be your half-brother, but he is not like them. The man who seems to hang his shoulders intimately is not your father."
There was something in Rong Shao's words that although Gu Chao didn't like his strange tone, he also knew that he was willing to let him see this photo, which meant that in his heart, he was the relative he recognized.
"Thank you for the photos and for telling me everything. I will get justice for my mother."
Gu Chao raised the phone in his hand, thanked Rong Shao, and quickly jumped into the car and drove away.
"Hey, my cell phone, Gu Chao!" Rong Shao shouted loudly behind Gu Chao's car, he was sure that Gu Chao must have done it on purpose.
Gu Chao in the car saw Rong Shao's distraught look from the rearview mirror, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. It was just a mobile phone, and his cousin could still afford it.As for the man and woman in the photo just now, he will investigate carefully.
"Chao Ji, I'm back, come out for a get-together?" Gu Chao put on his bluetooth headset, drove the car fast, and called his friend and brother.
"Gu Chao! You're finally back." Qi Chaoji's voice sounded like weeping. Ever since Gu Chao took He Dong and Fan Zhizhong to B City to chase his wife, the entire Gu family's affairs had been piled on his head alone. He was just going crazy.
"Brother, don't make such an uncomfortable tone, it's rare for me to find time to come back to see you."
Gu Chao imagined the muscular and solemn expression of Qi Chaoji with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help chuckling. It seemed that he had indeed pushed him too hard, and it was time to find someone to help him.
"It's not all your fault that I'm like this." Qi Chaoji's voice has escalated from complaints to deep resentment.
"Okay, I got it wrong. I'll treat you tonight, and I'll give you double red envelopes at the end of the year." Gu Chao couldn't bear the resentful tone of his friend, so he raised his hands in surrender on the phone.
"That's pretty much the same, where do we meet?" Qi Chaoji was finally soothed, and his tone changed from a tormenting yin and yang to a rough voice full of manliness.
"The old place, see you there or leave."
"it is good."
The old place that Gu Chao mentioned is the one with the most beautiful women among the many bars in City A, Redmoon.
Before Gu Chao got married, this place became the place where their brothers had sex. Of course, He Dong never took part in it. Qi Chaoji had always lacked interest in women, and Gu Chao didn't dare because of his status. Feel free to provoke bar girls, besides, he has never lacked high-quality beauties around him.
So rather than a few brothers, Fan Zhizhong was the only one who never tired of it.As for them, they are here as a group of relatives and friends, and by the way, they can appreciate Fan Zhizhong's superb skills in picking up girls.
"This man is shameless."
This is a comment that Qi Chaoji would make every time Fan Zhizhong got a girl successfully.Gu Chao always laughed loudly after hearing this, while He Dong drank his own wine expressionlessly, as if everything had nothing to do with him, he was always like this, always looking like he was staying out of it.
After Gu Chao and Qi Chaoji met, the two hit each other on the chest, which is also the habit of expressing intimacy that they have developed over the years.
"Chao Ji, actually I'm looking for you today because I have a personal matter to ask you for." Halfway through drinking, Gu Chao changed his previous comfortable and casual appearance, and his expression became serious.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Gu Chao didn't seem to be joking, Qi Chaoji also became serious.He himself is a meticulous person, and because he stayed with Fan Zhizhong for a long time, he became a little "lively".
"My parents are divorced, you know that."
"En." Qi Chaoji nodded, "As long as you live in City A, no one will know about this."
Qi Chaoji's words made Gu Chao show a mocking smile. His father, who always valued his public image, did such a shocking and unimaginable thing when he was about to retire. I'm afraid he really loved that woman named Zhou Mi.It's a pity that that woman may not be as sincere as her father.
"Look at this first." Gu Chao took out Rong Shao's cell phone, and showed Qi Chaoji the photos inside.
"Isn't this your little mother? Who is the man holding her?"
Qi Chaoji understood Zhou Mi's identity with just one glance, but he didn't know anything about this woman. It seemed that he really didn't care enough about his family, and he didn't even know the woman his father had dated for more than ten years.
"That's what I asked you to help with." Gu Chao took a sip of the wine, as if savoring it carefully, and swallowed it slowly.
"Understood," Qi Chaoji nodded, "By the way, Aunt...how are you doing these days?"
Being abandoned by her husband at nearly fifty years old, I'm afraid this is a fatal blow to any woman, let alone a proud lady like Gu Chao's mother, Qi Chaoji is really worried about her friend.
"My mother is in the hospital now, which is why I came back suddenly."
When mentioning his mother, Gu Chao's tears flickered with pain. Although his mother can't be called a good wife and mother, she has managed the entire Gu family for her father for so many years and devoted herself to taking care of the old man. With such a result, he felt worthless for his mother in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for my aunt."
The flash of pain in Gu Chao's eyes did not escape the eyes of his friend, Qi Chaoji patted his chest and issued a military order to reassure Gu Chao.
"Then thank you in advance."
Gu Chao raised his wine glass, lightly touched his friend, then raised his neck and drank the spirits in the glass in one gulp.
Whether it's his parents' affairs or his own affairs, nothing is going well. In addition, the company's performance and stock price have been affected to varying degrees due to Du Ruo and Wu Jinpeng's deliberate disturbance recently. Gu Chao's mood has really dropped to the bottom.
Of course, what bothered him the most was Qin Chuchu who suddenly disappeared from the world. Without Mumu by his side, he felt powerless to do anything.
I don't know if she is doing well now. A woman with a child alone will be bullied by bad people.
"When are you going back to city b?"
"No hurry, my mother is still in the hospital, I want to spend more time with her." Gu Chao shook the wine glass in his hand, and what appeared in his mind was Zhao Ke's pale and tired face on the hospital bed.Anyway, Mumu also avoids seeing him, staying in city a or city b doesn't make any difference to him, why don't he come back this time to help his father recognize his little girl well.
"Well, finish dealing with my sister-in-law earlier, come back, and honor my aunt well, it's really not easy for her."
Although Qi Chaoji looks very rough, everyone who knows him knows that he is actually a thick and thin person. Not only does he do things in an orderly manner, but he is also a famous dutiful son.
Gu Chao nodded, and the words of his friend reminded him that before, he was only thinking about how to get Qin Chuchu back, put all his thoughts and attention on her, and even wanted to move his home and company to City B. It is convenient for him to take care of Qin Chuchu's mother and son nearby.
But he neglected his family, and now his mother is sick in bed, but no one is around to take care of him, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's time to reconsider.
Gu Chao stayed with Zhao Ke every day in City A except for going to the company to deal with matters. He stayed by her bedside almost every step of the way, which made Zhao Ke feel very relieved.
"Mom, I found two nurses for you to accompany you 24 hours a day." Gu Chao handed the peeled apple to Zhao Ke, seemingly casually mentioning it.
Zhao Ke was taken aback for a moment, she knew that her son meant to leave, "I'm going back to City B, so soon?" Zhao Ke took the apple from Gu Chao with a normal face, although she had a million reluctances in her heart, but she He also clearly knew that he had no way to prevent his son from leaving.
"No, it's just that there are a lot of things going on in the company recently, and I can't stay by your side all the time. I can feel relieved to find two people to accompany you."
"You also have to take good care of yourself, don't be too tired." Zhao Ke stroked Gu Chao's cheek with one hand, how long had he not been close to his son.
In the past, I only knew how to socialize with the aura of the mayor's wife every day, and neglected the care and education of Gu Chao. Fortunately, my son grew up very well and did not go astray because of my fault.
"En." The mother's rare warmth made Gu Chen's nose ache. If his parents hadn't divorced, maybe his mother wouldn't have become as gentle as she is now. Thinking about it, it's really ironic.
"Bring Xiaoran mother and son back early, Mom is waiting for your wedding wine."
When Gu Chao and Qin Chuchu got married, the Gu family was concerned about the reputation of the Gu family and worried that the identity of the daughter of Qin Juchu's embezzlement would discredit the Gu family, so no one came to the wedding.
Zhao Ke now thinks of her paranoia at that time, and feels a strong sense of self-blame in her heart. She also feels sorry for her son. She wants to do something to make up for the debt she owed to Gu Chao and Qin Juchu. Maybe she can arrange a lively and grand event for them. Zhao Ke was silently thinking about the wedding in her heart.
"Gu Chao, I heard that you have returned to City A, why don't you come to see me."
Gu Chao received a call from Gu Shiguang on the car leaving the hospital and returning to the company. Gu Shiguang on the other end of the phone seemed very dissatisfied with Gu Chao's neglect of his father.
"There are too many things in the company, and..." Gu Chaozhou revealed the news of Zhao Ke's hospitalization to Gu Shiguang inadvertently, "Mom is hospitalized, and I have been staying with her in the hospital for the past few days."
"You said... Zhao Ke was hospitalized?"
On the phone, after Gu Shiguang heard the news that Zhao Ke was hospitalized, he was silent for a while.
"Dad, I have something else to do, let's talk about it next time." Gu Chao hung up Gu Shiguang's call impatiently.
He was quite dissatisfied with his father's handling of his mother's affairs. After all, they were husband and wife for decades, so he made such a decisive decision without thinking at all whether his mother could accept it all at once.
"President, here is the information you want."
In the company, Qi Chaoji's attitude towards Gu Chao is always the same as that of a subordinate towards his boss, respectful.
"Sit down." Gu Chao took the document from Qi Chaoji's hand, opened it and looked through it.
The content in the file is the information of the man Zhou Mi had been intimate with.
"Liu Yuanshan, the director of the Personnel Department of City A, it is said that he has made it to where he is today, thanks to your father's efforts." Qi Chaoji leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said leisurely .
"I'm not interested in who he is, I just want to know his relationship with Zhou Mi." Gu Chao closed the folder, his time was precious, and he didn't want to waste it on reading this kind of personal profile.
"He is Zhou Mi's first love boyfriend. The two of them studied at the university in City A at the same time more than ten years ago. They were model couples in the eyes of their classmates and alumni in college. But they broke up not long after graduation. Zhou Mi was a small civil servant, and Zhou Mi stayed in City A to work until more than two years later, by chance, Zhou Mi cheated on your father. At that time, your father was only a deputy mayor. Liu Yuanshan was transferred to City A."
Qi Chaoji explained the relationship between Liu Yuanshan and Zhou Mi in one breath, he knew that Gu Chao had always been impatient.
"Oh, it seems that Dad not only slept with other people's wives, but also raised other people's sons."
"You're right. Judging from Liu Yuanshan's intimacy with Zhou Mi's mother and son, your so-called younger brother probably has nothing to do with you." Qi Chaoji nodded, and what Gu Chao said was also what he had been doubting.
"Is there any information about that child?" Gu Chao asked calmly, a plan slowly emerged in his mind.
"Gu Ming, studying at Zheshan Noble Middle School."
"Noble?" Gu Chao raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Indeed, whether he is the illegitimate son of the mayor of City A or the illegitimate son of the Director of Personnel Department of City A, he is indeed qualified to be called a 'noble'."Gu Chao said with a sneer, his tone full of mockery.
"What's the president's plan now?" Qi Chaoji asked Gu Chao's next plan. He didn't dare to act rashly before receiving his instructions. After all, this matter related to the face of the entire Gu family. No, the Gu family's reputation has really been discredited from then on.
"It's best to let my dad and that child do a paternity test. If possible, help Liu Yuanshan and that child do the same."
Gu Chao wanted to find out whether he had anything to do with that child named Gu Ming, and if not, then he would not have to worry about whether what happened next would hurt him.
As a businessman, Gu Chao clearly knows that sometimes one should not be too kind to others, otherwise the one who is trampled underfoot and insulted will become himself.
"This matter is really tricky." Qi Chaoji frowned in distress. Although he has some influence in the underworld, Gu Shiguang and Liu Yuanshan are both heavyweights in City A after all. It is really not a matter to get their blood easy thing.
"I'll take care of my father's side. As for Liu Yuanshan and the child, I'll leave it to you." Seeing that his friend was a little embarrassed, Gu Chao took the initiative to undertake the most difficult task for him.
"Well, I will fulfill my mission and resolutely complete the task assigned by the president."
Although Qi Chaoji felt that this matter was difficult to handle, since Gu Chao had already asked, he could not refuse, his own brother, and only he could help him with these matters.
At the gate of Zheshan Middle School, Gu Ming, who was carrying a schoolbag, was full of impatience on his face. Why didn't his mother and Uncle Liu come? According to usual, they should have been waiting for him at the gate of the school at this time.
"Brat, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Just when Gu Ming was upset, a group of junior high school students with school bags on their backs yelled and rushed over. Gu Ming had no time to react, and was hit straight to the ground. traces of blood.
Gu Ming frowned in pain, he who has always been pampered had never suffered such an injury, the excruciating pain made him lying on the ground unable to stand up, tears flowed out all at once, he almost cried and called his mother.
"Are you OK."
A little girl wearing the uniform of Zheshan Noble School came over, reached out to help Gu Ming who was lying on the ground, and took out a white handkerchief to help him wipe the bleeding wound.
"Thank you."
No matter how painful it was, Gu Ming didn't want to lose face in front of the girl, he gritted his teeth and thanked the girl gracefully.
"You're welcome."
The girl showed him a sly smile, then turned around and left quickly.
On the same day, Liu Yuanshan hurried out of the office building after get off work. Today, he made an appointment with Zhou Mi to take their mother and son to a French restaurant for a big meal, but he met an ignorant subordinate who insisted on pestering him to ask questions after get off work.
He was furious in his heart but had to patiently explain to him for a long time, he must find an opportunity to transfer this person away some other day, it would be an eyesore to keep such a person, Liu Yuanshan thought bitterly.
"Oh, catch a thief!"
A woman's scream suddenly came to mind behind him, Liu Yuanshan was bumped head-on by a man as soon as he turned around, due to the suddenness of the incident and the force of the impact, two tubes of blood flowed out of Liu Yuanshan's nose in an instant, and the surroundings screamed There are many onlookers.
The young man seemed to be frightened, dropped the purse he had snatched and ran away.
"Oh brother, are you alright, thank you." A fat middle-aged woman pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, walked up to Liu Yuanshan and knelt down, apologizing and wiping the blood from his nose with a handkerchief.
"I'm fine." Liu Yuanshan waved his hand, motioning for the woman to get out of the way, then quickly got up and left quickly with his briefcase. Today is really unlucky.It seems that the date with Zhou Mi's mother and son can only be another day.
"President, I've settled everything here, and it's up to you next." After Gu Chao, who was buried in the documents in the office, received a call from Qi Chaoji, he seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chao Ji's speed was so fast. They got the blood samples of Liu Yuanshan and Gu Ming.
"I see, I'll give you my share tonight." Gu Chao hangs up the phone in a deep voice, thinking about how to make Gu Shiguang hurt and bleed at night, but not too serious.
"Dad, after get off work, I want to go sit with you." Gu Chao thought again and again, and decided to meet Gu Shiguang first, no matter how much he thought about now, it might not work.The plan can't keep up with the changes, maybe it will happen naturally by then.
"Okay, do you know Dad's new address?"
Gu Shiguang seemed very happy when he received Gu Chao's call. Since his divorce from Zhao Ke, his son has never contacted him. Worried that Gu Chao and himself will have a divorce, they never thought that their son would take the initiative to call him today and even come to visit him at home.
It just so happened that Zhou Mi took Gu Ming to the class reunion today, and he felt bored at home alone.
"Dad." Gu Chao came to his and Zhou Mi's new home according to the address given by the time taken care of .
"You child, let's see what presents my father brought." Gu Shiguang happily let Gu Chao in, and when his eyes fell on the red wine in Gu Chao's hand, he said something weird.
"It's been a long time since I saw Dad, and I want to have a good drink with Dad today." Gu Chao raised the red wine in his hand and said with a smile.
"It's been a long time since our father and son sat down and had a good chat," Gu Shiguang said emotionally, "Okay, today Dad will accompany you to have a good drink or two."
After Gu Shiguang said that, he got up and went to the kitchen to get two goblets and handed them to Gu Chao.
Gu Chao quickly opened the cork of the red wine and poured half a glass of red wine for himself and his father.
"How about Lafite in 96? Is the taste okay?" Gu Chao asked Gu Shiguang with a smile.Originally, he wanted to carry an 82-year-old, but thinking of his father's frugal character, he changed it to a 96-year-old.
"Well... the price must be high." Gu Shiguang took a sip carefully, showing a satisfied expression.Red wine has always been his favorite, but although he loves to drink it, he rarely buys it by himself, and most of the time others invite him to taste it.So he can be called a half master in wine tasting, but when it comes to understanding the price of wine, he is completely ignorant.
"It's okay, not expensive."
Gu Chao drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then let go of his hand, and dropped the wine glass on the floor as if inadvertently. With a "bang", the glass fell to pieces, and Gu Chao quickly squatted down to pick it up. shards of glass.
"It's okay, just wait until Dad comes to clean up."
"How about that, I'll just pick it up." Gu Shiguang hurriedly stopped Gu Chao, but Gu Chao had already started picking up the debris on the ground, and he insisted on cleaning up the debris himself.
"Ah." Gu Chao, who was scratched by the shards of glass, withdrew his hand and let out a slight cry of pain.
"You child, why are you so careless?"
Gu Shiguang quickly put down his wine glass, and walked to Gu Chao's side to see if his injury was serious, but when he stretched out his hand, he was scratched by the fragments in Gu Chao's hand.
"You should tell Yuanyuan these words." Fan Zhizhong's tone was stiff, and the responsibility of Yuanyuan's disappearance was too great.
"I want to too, but I can't find her now." He Dong's cold eyes turned into distress.
As a colleague and brother, Fan Zhizhong naturally caught this subtle change, and at the same time he also understood that Yuanyuan is not so indifferent to He Dong. Let him worry about people.
"Okay, I'll help you find Yuanyuan together, but you have to promise me that you will never bully her again." Fan Zhizhong thumped He Dong's chest, which meant reconciliation. "Definitely." He Dong's voice was still so indifferent, but his tone was quite certain.
"Don't forget, while looking for your sweethearts, help me find my wife and son as well." Gu Chao coldly reminded the two subordinates that the boss's affairs are more important.
"I know, I know, I have always arranged for someone to look for my sister-in-law." Fan Zhizhong quickly expressed his attitude.
"I'm going back to City A for a while starting tomorrow. He Dong will be very busy here. Zhizhong, you need to help him more. The job of finding people can be left to others for the time being." Gu Chaozheng looked straight and explained " The guest I invited is coming soon, you should split up and do your work separately, remember to contact me in time if you need anything."
"Ok."
Fan Zhizhong and He Dong left the hotel at the same time. As soon as He Dong got out of the hotel gate, he drove his car like a gust of wind to the animation base.As for Fan Zhizhong, Shan Xiaoxi was sitting in the co-pilot waiting for him.
Unlike Gu Chao and He Dong, these days are very carefree and comfortable. Since the last time Xiaoxi and Shan Xiaoxi got drunk in a bar and rolled the sheets in a daze, the two started dating frequently out of control, b Almost all the hotels big and small in the city have left their figures in and out.
As the saying goes, the fastest and most effective way to forget a little feeling is to start a new relationship. The two of them belong to this situation. Two people who have amnesia and lovelorn meet by chance, just like meeting each other The fire can't be stopped.
"Are you and He Dong still having trouble with Yuanyuan?"
As soon as Fan Zhizhong got back in the car, Shan Xiaoxi asked him a question. When she saw He Dong coming out of the hotel, she drove away without saying hello to Fan Zhizhong.
Although she had never expressed any opinion on Fan Zhizhong's liking for Yuanyuan, she actually cared a little bit in her heart, after all, she had seen Fan Zhizhong turn against He Dong in public for Yuanyuan.It can be seen that Yuanyuan occupies a very important weight in Fan Zhizhong's heart.
He didn't know whether Yuanyuan was still so important to him after he was with him.
This was the question that Shan Xiaoxi was most concerned about, but she couldn't save face and wanted to know the answer, so she could only use this insignificant question to make a side note.
"How could it be? I'm already very satisfied with you by my side. As for Yuanyuan, I'll leave that big iceberg to He Dong."
How could someone as smart as Fan Zhizhong fail to guess what Shan Xiaoxi was thinking? With one sentence, Shan Xiaoxi's worries were resolved.
"But doesn't He Dong already have a girlfriend?" Shan Xiaoxi recalled the pair of siblings he met when he ate boiled fish last time, and that woman seemed to be He Dong's real girlfriend.
"We broke up already, the day we met them." Fan Zhizhong relayed He Dong's words to Shan Xiaoxi.
"Oh, so that's the case," Shan Xiaoxi nodded, and then asked as if remembering something, "Could it be because of what you said that they broke up?"
"I don't know," Fan Zhizhong shook his head, "Even if it was, I wouldn't feel guilty, it was He Dong who was at fault." Fan Zhizhong's face was not as comfortable as before, but tinged with anger and distress.
Shan Xiaoxi stopped talking. She understood Fan Zhizhong. After all, he had used his true feelings for Yuanyuan, and it was normal for him to feel distressed because of her being wronged.Just like herself, even though she already has Fan Zhizhong and the two of them are very happy together, occasionally seeing Du Ruo's melancholy eyes makes her heart ache for no reason.
There are some things that no one can completely replace at once. A relationship needs passion, but it also needs management. She thinks that she will manage the relationship with Fan Zhizhong well. No matter what the ending is, she doesn't want to leave any regrets.
"Xiaoxi, come with me to my uncle's house for dinner tonight." Fan Zhizhong's right hand quietly held Shan Xiaoxi's left hand on his knee at some point.
He didn't look at Shan Xiaoxi when he said this, he was afraid that the other party would see the tension in his eyes, this was the first time he invited a woman to meet his elders.
Shan Xiaoxi looked at Fan Zhizhong in surprise. Although his eyes were avoiding her, she still felt his sincerity. It turned out that this big carrot who was laughing and joking all day would also be shy.
"Okay," Shan Xiaoxi agreed in a low voice, "but I don't know what to wear to see your uncle." She knew that Fan Zhizhong's uncle was the deputy mayor of City B, and she was a little nervous since she had never dealt with officials.
"It's simple, just what you are wearing now, my uncle is very easy-going." Seeing Shan Xiaoxi agreeing, Fan Zhizhong was relieved, and finally dared to turn his head and talk to her.
"Then why don't you bring some gifts? Can you accompany me to pick out gifts this afternoon?" It was the first time to meet Fan Zhizhong's elders.
Although his own conditions are not bad, compared with Fan Zhizhong, there is still a certain gap after all, especially the family conditions of the two families are very different.Although Fan Zhizhong never said anything, isn't the unfortunate marriage between his good friend Qin Juchu and Gu Chao a living example.
Gu Chao's love for Qin Juchu is definitely no less than Fan Zhizhong's love for himself, even worse than that, but he still failed to save Qin Juchu, still made her suffer in the Gu family, and even failed to keep her child.
Most of the reasons why the marriage between Qin Juchu and Gu Chao went to perish before was that Gu Chao's family was too glorious.This also cast a shadow on Shan Xiaoxi's heart, and she couldn't help but start to worry about her future.
"Mom." Gu Chao rushed to the hospital where Zhao Ke was staying as soon as he got off the plane, and he hadn't seen her for a few months. After the divorce, his mother seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, and Gu Chao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Gu Chao, you're back." Zhao Ke who was resting his eyes closed his eyes when he heard Gu Chao's voice, and opened his eyes in surprise, "Where are Xiao Ran and his mother, why didn't they come back with you?" Zhao Ke looked at Gu Ran Behind him, he found that there was no expected face, and the expression on his face was obviously a little disappointed.
"Is it because Ju Chu is not sure to forgive me, so he doesn't want to bring Xiao Ran to see me." At this time, Zhao Ke had lost his usual arrogance.
"No mom," Gu Chao didn't want his mother to worry, so he concealed the fact that Qin Juchu disappeared with Gu Ran, and told a white lie, "Something happened to Mumu's parents. Xiaoran went to see them, so she didn't come to see you with me. "
"That's good," Zhao Ke nodded, "As long as she doesn't hate Mom and is willing to marry you, Mom is willing to apologize to her for what happened before." Zhao Ke said emotionally, tears of regret filled her eyes.
After the divorce, Zhao Ke wanted to understand many things. At the beginning, he and Gu Dingbang believed that marriage must be a good match, and they wanted to break up Gu Chao and Qin Chuchu, but the result was that his son lost the happiness he should have had, and his mother-child relationship was also weak. a lot.
She and Gu Shiguang are in the same family, but in the end they are still on the road to divorce, so she figured it out, the most important thing in marriage is not being in the same family, but in love, so she hopes that her son can get back Qin Juchu, and get back because The happiness that I missed because of my mistake as a mother.
"Mom, Mumu, she has forgiven you a long time ago," Gu Chao held Zhao Ke's hand, and his mother's self-blame made him feel distressed, "So don't keep blaming yourself, a large part of what happened back then was also because of me. Relationship."
If she had not provoked Lin Ran after getting married back then, Lin Ran would not have conceived her own child, and Mu Mu would not have been so desperate, and their marriage would not have come to an end.
"It's mom who's sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Chu Chu. Mom's only wish now is that you can remarry and live a good life with Gu Ran." Zhao Ke held Gu Chao tightly with both hands. The only thing she has been guarding all her life, the only thing she can care about is the happiness of her son.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will bring Mumu and Xiaoran to see you next time I come back."
Gu Ran said this very seriously. He not only said it to Zhao Ke, but also to himself. He must find Mumu. Only when Mumu is by his side can his heart gain peace and tranquility. .
After Gu Chao left the hospital, he went to visit Gu Dingbang in the Gu family compound.
The old man seemed to be in good health, and he seemed very happy to see his grandson take the initiative to visit him, but just like Zhao Ke, he was a little disappointed not to see his precious grandson.
"Qin Juchu, does she still refuse to agree to remarry you?"
Gu Dingbang's voice still carries the inherent majesty. His whole life in the military has made him a habit of seriousness, and he can't get rid of this habit even when facing his family.
"Mumu has her own ideas, I don't want to force her." Gu Chao said in a blunt tone.
Facing the grandfather, there is always some estrangement. Whether it is the marriage of his parents or his own, the old man has participated too much, and the result is the collective misfortune of the entire Gu family.
"Do you mean that you have given up the idea of letting Qin Chuchu remarry you?" Gu Dingbang was a little annoyed by the grandson's rigid attitude towards him, but he was helpless.
"Of course not. I'm just waiting for Mumu's approval. I will never give up Mumu in my life. My mother is still in the hospital. I want to spend more time with her." Seeing that the old man was full of confidence, Gu Chao got up and prepared to leave.
"Are you so unwilling to spend more time with me, an old man?"
Gu Dingbang's voice was still majestic, but when it fell into Gu Chao's ears, he could hear a trace of bitterness.
After all, he is an elderly person, no matter how powerful he was when he was young, no matter how much he promised, now he is just an ordinary old man who just wants to have the company of his family.
Gu Chao sighed in his heart, even though he complained about him in a thousand ways, but he was his grandfather connected by blood after all, and he was his important relative.
"Then let me play chess with you, old man."
What Gu Chao said made Gu Dingbang's eyes reveal surprise, and this was the first time that his grandson took the initiative to play chess with him.
"Okay, grandpa will let you take half of the world, and only use one chariot and cannon."
Gu Dingbang is very confident in his chess skills. At the same time, he also knows that his grandson is busy with the company's affairs, so he must not be good at chess. In order to be fair, and of course mainly to increase Gu Chao's interest, he offered to use only one chariot .
Gu Chao didn't reject the old man's proposal, because he knew the gap between the two, no matter how much he gave in, he would lose, so it's better to follow the old man's wish and make him happy.
"Haha, Gu Chao, you may be able to go straight ahead in the business field, but you are still slightly inferior to grandpa in the game of chess." Gu Dingbang won three games in a row, in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What kind of great happy event can make my always serious grandfather laugh so exaggeratedly." When Rong Shao came in, he just heard Gu Dingbang's laughter, and made fun of his grandfather.
"You child is just not as stable as Gu Chao."
Gu Dingbang returned to his usual seriousness, and looked at Rong Shao strangely.
"That's right, he's the elder brother, am I the younger brother?" Rong Shao said with a smile, completely ignoring Gu Dingbang's seriousness.Anyway, since childhood, my grandfather has always had this expression.
"Just now Gu Chao lost three games in a row. Come on, you also come to play a few games with grandpa." It was rare that both grandson and grandson came to visit him, and Gu Dingbang seemed particularly interested.
"I'll forget it," Rong Shao shook his head hastily, "I'm not even half of my cousin's level, if you follow me, isn't that the same as an adult bullying a child?"
"You are also children." Gu Dingbang said with some anger, and turned his head to the side in anger, not looking at his two grandchildren anymore.
Naturally, in his eyes, no matter whether it is a grandson or a grandson, he is still just a child, but he doesn't know why he is like an old child who can't eat candy now.
Gu Chao and Rong Shao looked at each other and smiled, and sat next to the old man on the left and right to talk with him.Gu Dingbang wasn't really angry in the first place, seeing his grandchildren so close to him now, he happily forgot the previous unhappiness.
Gu Chao and Rong Shao stayed with Gu Dingbang in the Gu family compound for a whole day, and they left together after dinner.
"Cousin, there is something you might be interested in."
After walking out of the Gu family compound, Rong Shao stopped in front of Gu Chao, his face was not serious, but it was definitely not the usual hippie smile.
"What?" Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Gu Chao stopped to listen to him continue.
"No, you can see for yourself." Rong Shao took out his phone, pulled out a photo and handed it to Gu Chao.
Gu Chao took the phone in doubt, and looked at Rong Shao in confusion, "This is?" He didn't recognize the person in the photo.
"That woman is your father's new love," Rong Shao paused on purpose when he said this, "That's your stepmother—Zhou Mi. As for that child, it is said to be your half-brother, but he is not like them. The man who seems to hang his shoulders intimately is not your father."
There was something in Rong Shao's words that although Gu Chao didn't like his strange tone, he also knew that he was willing to let him see this photo, which meant that in his heart, he was the relative he recognized.
"Thank you for the photos and for telling me everything. I will get justice for my mother."
Gu Chao raised the phone in his hand, thanked Rong Shao, and quickly jumped into the car and drove away.
"Hey, my cell phone, Gu Chao!" Rong Shao shouted loudly behind Gu Chao's car, he was sure that Gu Chao must have done it on purpose.
Gu Chao in the car saw Rong Shao's distraught look from the rearview mirror, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. It was just a mobile phone, and his cousin could still afford it.As for the man and woman in the photo just now, he will investigate carefully.
"Chao Ji, I'm back, come out for a get-together?" Gu Chao put on his bluetooth headset, drove the car fast, and called his friend and brother.
"Gu Chao! You're finally back." Qi Chaoji's voice sounded like weeping. Ever since Gu Chao took He Dong and Fan Zhizhong to B City to chase his wife, the entire Gu family's affairs had been piled on his head alone. He was just going crazy.
"Brother, don't make such an uncomfortable tone, it's rare for me to find time to come back to see you."
Gu Chao imagined the muscular and solemn expression of Qi Chaoji with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help chuckling. It seemed that he had indeed pushed him too hard, and it was time to find someone to help him.
"It's not all your fault that I'm like this." Qi Chaoji's voice has escalated from complaints to deep resentment.
"Okay, I got it wrong. I'll treat you tonight, and I'll give you double red envelopes at the end of the year." Gu Chao couldn't bear the resentful tone of his friend, so he raised his hands in surrender on the phone.
"That's pretty much the same, where do we meet?" Qi Chaoji was finally soothed, and his tone changed from a tormenting yin and yang to a rough voice full of manliness.
"The old place, see you there or leave."
"it is good."
The old place that Gu Chao mentioned is the one with the most beautiful women among the many bars in City A, Redmoon.
Before Gu Chao got married, this place became the place where their brothers had sex. Of course, He Dong never took part in it. Qi Chaoji had always lacked interest in women, and Gu Chao didn't dare because of his status. Feel free to provoke bar girls, besides, he has never lacked high-quality beauties around him.
So rather than a few brothers, Fan Zhizhong was the only one who never tired of it.As for them, they are here as a group of relatives and friends, and by the way, they can appreciate Fan Zhizhong's superb skills in picking up girls.
"This man is shameless."
This is a comment that Qi Chaoji would make every time Fan Zhizhong got a girl successfully.Gu Chao always laughed loudly after hearing this, while He Dong drank his own wine expressionlessly, as if everything had nothing to do with him, he was always like this, always looking like he was staying out of it.
After Gu Chao and Qi Chaoji met, the two hit each other on the chest, which is also the habit of expressing intimacy that they have developed over the years.
"Chao Ji, actually I'm looking for you today because I have a personal matter to ask you for." Halfway through drinking, Gu Chao changed his previous comfortable and casual appearance, and his expression became serious.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Gu Chao didn't seem to be joking, Qi Chaoji also became serious.He himself is a meticulous person, and because he stayed with Fan Zhizhong for a long time, he became a little "lively".
"My parents are divorced, you know that."
"En." Qi Chaoji nodded, "As long as you live in City A, no one will know about this."
Qi Chaoji's words made Gu Chao show a mocking smile. His father, who always valued his public image, did such a shocking and unimaginable thing when he was about to retire. I'm afraid he really loved that woman named Zhou Mi.It's a pity that that woman may not be as sincere as her father.
"Look at this first." Gu Chao took out Rong Shao's cell phone, and showed Qi Chaoji the photos inside.
"Isn't this your little mother? Who is the man holding her?"
Qi Chaoji understood Zhou Mi's identity with just one glance, but he didn't know anything about this woman. It seemed that he really didn't care enough about his family, and he didn't even know the woman his father had dated for more than ten years.
"That's what I asked you to help with." Gu Chao took a sip of the wine, as if savoring it carefully, and swallowed it slowly.
"Understood," Qi Chaoji nodded, "By the way, Aunt...how are you doing these days?"
Being abandoned by her husband at nearly fifty years old, I'm afraid this is a fatal blow to any woman, let alone a proud lady like Gu Chao's mother, Qi Chaoji is really worried about her friend.
"My mother is in the hospital now, which is why I came back suddenly."
When mentioning his mother, Gu Chao's tears flickered with pain. Although his mother can't be called a good wife and mother, she has managed the entire Gu family for her father for so many years and devoted herself to taking care of the old man. With such a result, he felt worthless for his mother in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for my aunt."
The flash of pain in Gu Chao's eyes did not escape the eyes of his friend, Qi Chaoji patted his chest and issued a military order to reassure Gu Chao.
"Then thank you in advance."
Gu Chao raised his wine glass, lightly touched his friend, then raised his neck and drank the spirits in the glass in one gulp.
Whether it's his parents' affairs or his own affairs, nothing is going well. In addition, the company's performance and stock price have been affected to varying degrees due to Du Ruo and Wu Jinpeng's deliberate disturbance recently. Gu Chao's mood has really dropped to the bottom.
Of course, what bothered him the most was Qin Chuchu who suddenly disappeared from the world. Without Mumu by his side, he felt powerless to do anything.
I don't know if she is doing well now. A woman with a child alone will be bullied by bad people.
"When are you going back to city b?"
"No hurry, my mother is still in the hospital, I want to spend more time with her." Gu Chao shook the wine glass in his hand, and what appeared in his mind was Zhao Ke's pale and tired face on the hospital bed.Anyway, Mumu also avoids seeing him, staying in city a or city b doesn't make any difference to him, why don't he come back this time to help his father recognize his little girl well.
"Well, finish dealing with my sister-in-law earlier, come back, and honor my aunt well, it's really not easy for her."
Although Qi Chaoji looks very rough, everyone who knows him knows that he is actually a thick and thin person. Not only does he do things in an orderly manner, but he is also a famous dutiful son.
Gu Chao nodded, and the words of his friend reminded him that before, he was only thinking about how to get Qin Chuchu back, put all his thoughts and attention on her, and even wanted to move his home and company to City B. It is convenient for him to take care of Qin Chuchu's mother and son nearby.
But he neglected his family, and now his mother is sick in bed, but no one is around to take care of him, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's time to reconsider.
Gu Chao stayed with Zhao Ke every day in City A except for going to the company to deal with matters. He stayed by her bedside almost every step of the way, which made Zhao Ke feel very relieved.
"Mom, I found two nurses for you to accompany you 24 hours a day." Gu Chao handed the peeled apple to Zhao Ke, seemingly casually mentioning it.
Zhao Ke was taken aback for a moment, she knew that her son meant to leave, "I'm going back to City B, so soon?" Zhao Ke took the apple from Gu Chao with a normal face, although she had a million reluctances in her heart, but she He also clearly knew that he had no way to prevent his son from leaving.
"No, it's just that there are a lot of things going on in the company recently, and I can't stay by your side all the time. I can feel relieved to find two people to accompany you."
"You also have to take good care of yourself, don't be too tired." Zhao Ke stroked Gu Chao's cheek with one hand, how long had he not been close to his son.
In the past, I only knew how to socialize with the aura of the mayor's wife every day, and neglected the care and education of Gu Chao. Fortunately, my son grew up very well and did not go astray because of my fault.
"En." The mother's rare warmth made Gu Chen's nose ache. If his parents hadn't divorced, maybe his mother wouldn't have become as gentle as she is now. Thinking about it, it's really ironic.
"Bring Xiaoran mother and son back early, Mom is waiting for your wedding wine."
When Gu Chao and Qin Chuchu got married, the Gu family was concerned about the reputation of the Gu family and worried that the identity of the daughter of Qin Juchu's embezzlement would discredit the Gu family, so no one came to the wedding.
Zhao Ke now thinks of her paranoia at that time, and feels a strong sense of self-blame in her heart. She also feels sorry for her son. She wants to do something to make up for the debt she owed to Gu Chao and Qin Juchu. Maybe she can arrange a lively and grand event for them. Zhao Ke was silently thinking about the wedding in her heart.
"Gu Chao, I heard that you have returned to City A, why don't you come to see me."
Gu Chao received a call from Gu Shiguang on the car leaving the hospital and returning to the company. Gu Shiguang on the other end of the phone seemed very dissatisfied with Gu Chao's neglect of his father.
"There are too many things in the company, and..." Gu Chaozhou revealed the news of Zhao Ke's hospitalization to Gu Shiguang inadvertently, "Mom is hospitalized, and I have been staying with her in the hospital for the past few days."
"You said... Zhao Ke was hospitalized?"
On the phone, after Gu Shiguang heard the news that Zhao Ke was hospitalized, he was silent for a while.
"Dad, I have something else to do, let's talk about it next time." Gu Chao hung up Gu Shiguang's call impatiently.
He was quite dissatisfied with his father's handling of his mother's affairs. After all, they were husband and wife for decades, so he made such a decisive decision without thinking at all whether his mother could accept it all at once.
"President, here is the information you want."
In the company, Qi Chaoji's attitude towards Gu Chao is always the same as that of a subordinate towards his boss, respectful.
"Sit down." Gu Chao took the document from Qi Chaoji's hand, opened it and looked through it.
The content in the file is the information of the man Zhou Mi had been intimate with.
"Liu Yuanshan, the director of the Personnel Department of City A, it is said that he has made it to where he is today, thanks to your father's efforts." Qi Chaoji leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said leisurely .
"I'm not interested in who he is, I just want to know his relationship with Zhou Mi." Gu Chao closed the folder, his time was precious, and he didn't want to waste it on reading this kind of personal profile.
"He is Zhou Mi's first love boyfriend. The two of them studied at the university in City A at the same time more than ten years ago. They were model couples in the eyes of their classmates and alumni in college. But they broke up not long after graduation. Zhou Mi was a small civil servant, and Zhou Mi stayed in City A to work until more than two years later, by chance, Zhou Mi cheated on your father. At that time, your father was only a deputy mayor. Liu Yuanshan was transferred to City A."
Qi Chaoji explained the relationship between Liu Yuanshan and Zhou Mi in one breath, he knew that Gu Chao had always been impatient.
"Oh, it seems that Dad not only slept with other people's wives, but also raised other people's sons."
"You're right. Judging from Liu Yuanshan's intimacy with Zhou Mi's mother and son, your so-called younger brother probably has nothing to do with you." Qi Chaoji nodded, and what Gu Chao said was also what he had been doubting.
"Is there any information about that child?" Gu Chao asked calmly, a plan slowly emerged in his mind.
"Gu Ming, studying at Zheshan Noble Middle School."
"Noble?" Gu Chao raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Indeed, whether he is the illegitimate son of the mayor of City A or the illegitimate son of the Director of Personnel Department of City A, he is indeed qualified to be called a 'noble'."Gu Chao said with a sneer, his tone full of mockery.
"What's the president's plan now?" Qi Chaoji asked Gu Chao's next plan. He didn't dare to act rashly before receiving his instructions. After all, this matter related to the face of the entire Gu family. No, the Gu family's reputation has really been discredited from then on.
"It's best to let my dad and that child do a paternity test. If possible, help Liu Yuanshan and that child do the same."
Gu Chao wanted to find out whether he had anything to do with that child named Gu Ming, and if not, then he would not have to worry about whether what happened next would hurt him.
As a businessman, Gu Chao clearly knows that sometimes one should not be too kind to others, otherwise the one who is trampled underfoot and insulted will become himself.
"This matter is really tricky." Qi Chaoji frowned in distress. Although he has some influence in the underworld, Gu Shiguang and Liu Yuanshan are both heavyweights in City A after all. It is really not a matter to get their blood easy thing.
"I'll take care of my father's side. As for Liu Yuanshan and the child, I'll leave it to you." Seeing that his friend was a little embarrassed, Gu Chao took the initiative to undertake the most difficult task for him.
"Well, I will fulfill my mission and resolutely complete the task assigned by the president."
Although Qi Chaoji felt that this matter was difficult to handle, since Gu Chao had already asked, he could not refuse, his own brother, and only he could help him with these matters.
At the gate of Zheshan Middle School, Gu Ming, who was carrying a schoolbag, was full of impatience on his face. Why didn't his mother and Uncle Liu come? According to usual, they should have been waiting for him at the gate of the school at this time.
"Brat, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Just when Gu Ming was upset, a group of junior high school students with school bags on their backs yelled and rushed over. Gu Ming had no time to react, and was hit straight to the ground. traces of blood.
Gu Ming frowned in pain, he who has always been pampered had never suffered such an injury, the excruciating pain made him lying on the ground unable to stand up, tears flowed out all at once, he almost cried and called his mother.
"Are you OK."
A little girl wearing the uniform of Zheshan Noble School came over, reached out to help Gu Ming who was lying on the ground, and took out a white handkerchief to help him wipe the bleeding wound.
"Thank you."
No matter how painful it was, Gu Ming didn't want to lose face in front of the girl, he gritted his teeth and thanked the girl gracefully.
"You're welcome."
The girl showed him a sly smile, then turned around and left quickly.
On the same day, Liu Yuanshan hurried out of the office building after get off work. Today, he made an appointment with Zhou Mi to take their mother and son to a French restaurant for a big meal, but he met an ignorant subordinate who insisted on pestering him to ask questions after get off work.
He was furious in his heart but had to patiently explain to him for a long time, he must find an opportunity to transfer this person away some other day, it would be an eyesore to keep such a person, Liu Yuanshan thought bitterly.
"Oh, catch a thief!"
A woman's scream suddenly came to mind behind him, Liu Yuanshan was bumped head-on by a man as soon as he turned around, due to the suddenness of the incident and the force of the impact, two tubes of blood flowed out of Liu Yuanshan's nose in an instant, and the surroundings screamed There are many onlookers.
The young man seemed to be frightened, dropped the purse he had snatched and ran away.
"Oh brother, are you alright, thank you." A fat middle-aged woman pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, walked up to Liu Yuanshan and knelt down, apologizing and wiping the blood from his nose with a handkerchief.
"I'm fine." Liu Yuanshan waved his hand, motioning for the woman to get out of the way, then quickly got up and left quickly with his briefcase. Today is really unlucky.It seems that the date with Zhou Mi's mother and son can only be another day.
"President, I've settled everything here, and it's up to you next." After Gu Chao, who was buried in the documents in the office, received a call from Qi Chaoji, he seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chao Ji's speed was so fast. They got the blood samples of Liu Yuanshan and Gu Ming.
"I see, I'll give you my share tonight." Gu Chao hangs up the phone in a deep voice, thinking about how to make Gu Shiguang hurt and bleed at night, but not too serious.
"Dad, after get off work, I want to go sit with you." Gu Chao thought again and again, and decided to meet Gu Shiguang first, no matter how much he thought about now, it might not work.The plan can't keep up with the changes, maybe it will happen naturally by then.
"Okay, do you know Dad's new address?"
Gu Shiguang seemed very happy when he received Gu Chao's call. Since his divorce from Zhao Ke, his son has never contacted him. Worried that Gu Chao and himself will have a divorce, they never thought that their son would take the initiative to call him today and even come to visit him at home.
It just so happened that Zhou Mi took Gu Ming to the class reunion today, and he felt bored at home alone.
"Dad." Gu Chao came to his and Zhou Mi's new home according to the address given by the time taken care of .
"You child, let's see what presents my father brought." Gu Shiguang happily let Gu Chao in, and when his eyes fell on the red wine in Gu Chao's hand, he said something weird.
"It's been a long time since I saw Dad, and I want to have a good drink with Dad today." Gu Chao raised the red wine in his hand and said with a smile.
"It's been a long time since our father and son sat down and had a good chat," Gu Shiguang said emotionally, "Okay, today Dad will accompany you to have a good drink or two."
After Gu Shiguang said that, he got up and went to the kitchen to get two goblets and handed them to Gu Chao.
Gu Chao quickly opened the cork of the red wine and poured half a glass of red wine for himself and his father.
"How about Lafite in 96? Is the taste okay?" Gu Chao asked Gu Shiguang with a smile.Originally, he wanted to carry an 82-year-old, but thinking of his father's frugal character, he changed it to a 96-year-old.
"Well... the price must be high." Gu Shiguang took a sip carefully, showing a satisfied expression.Red wine has always been his favorite, but although he loves to drink it, he rarely buys it by himself, and most of the time others invite him to taste it.So he can be called a half master in wine tasting, but when it comes to understanding the price of wine, he is completely ignorant.
"It's okay, not expensive."
Gu Chao drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then let go of his hand, and dropped the wine glass on the floor as if inadvertently. With a "bang", the glass fell to pieces, and Gu Chao quickly squatted down to pick it up. shards of glass.
"It's okay, just wait until Dad comes to clean up."
"How about that, I'll just pick it up." Gu Shiguang hurriedly stopped Gu Chao, but Gu Chao had already started picking up the debris on the ground, and he insisted on cleaning up the debris himself.
"Ah." Gu Chao, who was scratched by the shards of glass, withdrew his hand and let out a slight cry of pain.
"You child, why are you so careless?"
Gu Shiguang quickly put down his wine glass, and walked to Gu Chao's side to see if his injury was serious, but when he stretched out his hand, he was scratched by the fragments in Gu Chao's hand.
