Marriage status: Ex-husband, please respect yourself

Chapter 581 Be a Good Boss
When Gong Qi received the news, it was already the evening of the next day. The old housekeeper of Gu's house called and said that the old man had fallen ill and was hospitalized, and he was just out of danger.

The reason why he called Gong Qi was because the old man was going out to look for her before he fell ill, but what the reason was, even the personal old housekeeper didn't know.

When he arrived at the hospital, the old man was still lying on a bed in the intensive care unit, and his body was full of tubes for various auxiliary equipment.

The face that had always been calm and prudent now only showed powerless pallor, which made people feel more sad when they looked at it more often.

Before the doctor came out of the ward, his gaze stayed on the man standing next to him. He didn't know whether to scold or comfort him. In the end, he just shook his head and sighed, without saying a single unnecessary word.

The trivial footsteps next to him caused a burst of light and shadow to float, and Gu Zheng's dark eyes trembled, then he raised his head and looked into the eyes of the woman standing outside the door.

She was still wearing the professional suit she was used to at work, her long hair was simply tied behind her back, and she exuded an aura of indifference that was so daunting.

At this time, the man's eyes were slightly red, and the fundus of his eyes was covered with cobweb-like red bloodshots. When he looked at her once in a while, the expression on his face was bleak.

He wanted to speak, but his throat was so dry that he finally moved the corners of his lips, but no sound came out.

Gong Qi watched, his eyes slowly falling, he didn't seem to intend to go in, he just stood at the door for a while, before turning around, he said softly, "Gu Zheng, come out."

After standing in the corridor outside the door for a while, the man followed.

He was still wearing the gray shirt from yesterday, but now the collar of the shirt was open, and the sleeves were rolled up to the forearm casually, not as neat and tidy as before.

When he came out, he just stood beside her, silent and not speaking.

Gong Qi looked up at him, and then handed out the insulated box he brought, "The butler said that you have been guarding here for a day, so let's have something to eat first."

Seeing that the man didn't intend to reach out to take it, she simply sat down on the seat beside her, opened the box herself, and brought out a bowl of hot millet porridge.

"sit."

She raised her chin toward the empty seat next to her, and then raised her eyes to look at him again.

Gu Zheng let out a sigh of relief, as if he had calmed down before responding: "I have no appetite."

Gong Qi's apparent indifference did not surprise Gong Qi. She slightly curled her lips, and a burst of fire quickly gathered in her eyes, "Little Miao is less than seven years old now, even if she has no appetite when she is sick, she She will also eat obediently. Even she knows that eating is not for the sake of her own appetite, but for the sake of her body."

After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and asked him back: "Master Gu, how old are you?"

Gong Qi is always like this, the irony inside and outside the words is strong, and he never thinks about taking into account the man's thin face.

Gu Zheng looked down at him, and after a long silence, he finally walked over, sat down beside her, and stretched out his palms.

It means a compromise.

Passing the millet porridge out, while the man was drinking the porridge quietly, she opened her mouth again and confessed something to him.

"Mr. Gu's health is very bad, he just didn't tell you."

The man continued to drink the porridge silently, without any response to her words.

And the woman looked away, as if recalling something, "I also heard about your mother from his old man."

Finally, the movements of his hands stopped, and his eyes became dark and deep in an instant.

After a while, he curled his lips mockingly, "It seems that he is really satisfied with you, and he is willing to tell you anything."

After finishing speaking, he continued to drink the porridge, his movements sped up a bit, and finally he simply raised his head and poured down the less than half of the porridge left.

Now that more than 20 years have passed, Gu Zheng has no real impression of his mother, but the resentment towards his father in his heart has been endlessly retained.

Until now, he can't be called completely relieved.

"Men are born with flamboyant intestines." After finishing the porridge, he laughed lightly at himself.

In the early years, Mr. Gu also made some ridiculous mistakes. Later, there were rumors among the servants in the family that the wife died of a heart attack because of the master's anger.

These words left a deep mark on the young Gu Zheng's heart.

Later, Mr. Gu also heard such words, and angrily changed the servants at home from front to back.

Gu Zheng, who has grown up to this day, still doesn't have the courage to ask how his mother died that year.

But he knew very well that if she hadn't died at that time, his father would have divorced and married another woman.

The mother's death seemed to be an opportunity for the father, who was already fascinated at the time, to suddenly figure out something, and then slowly cut off those contacts, and he has never married a new person to enter the house.

But whether to marry or not is actually not that important to him.

Gong Qi inadvertently recalled those painful memories in Gu Zheng's heart, she thought about it for a while, then smiled and shook her head.

Gu Zheng didn't understand what she was laughing at, so he simply asked why.

Gong Qi smiled at him, "The platform you were born on is a height that many people can't reach in their lifetime. Everyone will experience some bad things in their life. People who only live with those bad memories can only be doomed. sorrow."

Gu Zheng understood what she meant, and smiled weakly, "You still want to call me an ostrich."

At this point, he suddenly thought of the fact that she was about to leave again, and felt that the suppressed emotion in his heart was a little heavier.

He lowered his head and coughed twice, but still didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.

But Gong Qi frowned and thought for a while, before persuading him very solemnly: "Gu's company needs you now, and Mr. Gu also needs you. He wanted to continue to resist, but as long as he still has that ability, he won't I want to entrust the burden to you."

When the man was silent, she sighed again, "Indeed, if I were his old man, I wouldn't dare to entrust you with such a large family business."

"You do not trust me?"

Her obviously disappointed tone made the man frown slightly, and looked over solemnly.

And this Miss Gong also unceremoniously dropped three words: "I don't believe it."

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other deeply, as if sparking a burst of lightning.

Immediately, the man nodded, "Yes, I promise you."

He let out a long breath, "Since I can't do anything for you in the future, I still have to fulfill the conditions I promised you before. I will return to Gu's and be a good boss."

In fact, only he knows the selfishness in Gu Zheng's heart.

Facing Gong Qi, who is superior in everything, this man also developed unprecedented aggressiveness.

To put it bluntly, I always feel that even if she goes abroad, as long as she is not married, there is still hope for him.

But if he wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, the current Gu Zheng is still far behind. After all, he thinks that as long as he climbs higher, the possibility that she will look at him in the future will be greater.
