Gu Yu appeared to be in a trance these days.
His mind is in a mess like a cotton-filled duvet. He couldn’t hold his grounds on company affairs anymore, so Father Gu went back to flip over several reports, only to feel his temples throbbing and could only laugh amidst his anger.
Having smashed a mug on the ground: “Truly a useless second-generation, to even dare to eat, drink and have fun using the company!”
Hearing these words, the coldness in his heart was no less than that of the river water during the twelfth month in the middle of winter. During these days, Gu Yu had already done his best with all his efforts, until he no longer had any energy drive of energy for anything else, until there was only a patch of blue under his eyes, until, even as a person who typically cared about his attire the most, there were even wrinkles on the cuffs of his dress shirt.
He just stared at Father Gu with his chin taut and teeth clenched, saying nothing. That night, he drunkenly went to find Wu Yunrui. Her bedroom light was still on as she had just came back from the bar; within her purse, there were several business cards.
Pick and choose, in the end, choosing the one with the highest title.
Clearing her throat, she dialed the number and had just greeted the ‘Chief Liu’ on the other side with her charming voice when suddenly, she heard the doorbell. Her brows raised, she then just quickly said a few words before hurriedly hanging up.
As soon as she opened the door, there was a strong whiff of alcohol. As Gu Yu’s stance faltered, he then leaned his whole body against Wu Yunrui, curses pouring from his mouth. The last time she had seen him like this was a few years ago.
Wu Yunrui brought him a towel and helped him wipe his face. Gu Yu was just lying on the sofa, eyes in a daze, but there was a sense of ferocity between his brows.
He suddenly turned to stare at Wu Yunrui, eyes fixed.
Wu Yunrui had followed him through their mutually bitter days, so naturally, there was sincerity and real feelings within their relationship. Only, it was later gradually mixed with other things. For example, even when they were in bed together, Gu Yu would still need to take time to answer Cen Simiao’s calls.
In the beginning, she would still get angry and throw a temper, but Gu Yu would still be patient and coax her. Later, it became that she was just being unreasonable, then finally another type of sentence…
If you want to continue living those hard times like before, then we can just spread everything on the table and talk about it.
Wu Yunrui clenched the towel. Of course, she wasn’t willing! Why should he be able to enter that rich, extravagant world with just one step while she had to go back to the time when she had to think thrice before spending 100 yuan?
She curved her eyes, appearing incredibly gentle, as she lightly wiped Gu Yu’s cheek. All of a sudden, he grasped her arm and with a flip of their bodies, she was now pressed underneath him.
Just as she was about to kiss him, she felt something tighten around her neck, and she had difficulty breathing. She was being mercilessly choked.
Wu Yunrui’s eyes widened as she desperately twisted around and struggled, dryly retching. Within her ears rang his drunken words: “Gu Xichen, do you feel particularly happy when you treat me like a fool?”
His tone was fierce. She gritted her teeth and went to pinch him, but the strength in her hands gradually weakened. After a while, Gu Yu finally calmed down, then irritably rubbed his forehead before turning to coax her.
Wu Yunrui trembled, she was terrified to the extreme. She looked up at him with her lips tightly pursed, then suddenly her mouth opened, and she burst into tears.
For the past few days, the Gu family had been very calm, seemingly as if everything was at peace. Cen Simiao would then stealthily run over to Lu Mi’s every day. Upon seeing the increase in money on the company’s account book, her eyes narrowed in joy.
Lu Mi was currently on top of a stool, cleaning the light on the ceiling as he didn’t want anyone from the custodial department to come into the office. He wrung out the rag as he said, “My skill in business is good, right? We’ve already gained so much money in such a short time.”
Cen Simiao raised her eyes. “I’m more concerned about your ability to forget.”
Just having some business deals snatched would only make the Gu family temporarily dispirited, after all, their foundation was still there. But if some technical personnel were to be dug away, now that would truly be hitting close to home.
Lu Mi raised his brows, then answered in a rather indecent tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be able to accomplish it. Even if I have to do it myself, I would be willing.”
Cen Simiao wants to have the facedown as soon as possible…
An Zeru hadn’t contacted her since he left the GU family that day. Cen Simiao was a little puzzled by it all. If one were to say he was throwing a temper tantrum, well, then it still didn’t really make sense.
But when she went to ask the system what was going on, it was particularly focused on reading through the forum to read up on the latest plug-in ‘Autumn Sugar Roasted Chestnut’ and simply ignored Cen Simiao.
Her heart was miffed. “Can you be a bit more professional? Look at other people’s systems, which of them are like you and just know how to eat?”
The system was coquettish and finicky by nature and immediately exploded, “Then why don’t you look at the hosts of other systems, which one wasn’t working like cattle?! The system could just cheer on the side and the mission would be done! But you!”
Cen Simiao was stunned. “You can’t even cheer on the side, slag, scum!”
The system was so angry that it accidentally downloaded a Gourd Doll animation, then even worse, directly threw out the seeking death mission.
As they had delayed their departure from the world during the last world, the seeking death task in this world was changed to be directly enforced with no right to refuse.
