He Suichen's exclusive secret recipe for chicken soup failed to be stewed tonight.
When the lights came on at night, Gu Qingwu arrived at Xiangshi's high-end restaurant at the agreed time. The environment here was secluded and the taste of romance was everywhere. She took He Sui Chen in and stood on the third floor, not letting him accompany her into the box.
"You can open a shop next door. My father likes to talk nonsense and is very difficult to deal with."
After all, they were once father and daughter. Gu Qingwu understood Gu Wenhan's temper and didn't want He Suichen to get involved. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the corridor, she stood on tiptoe and secretly reached out to hug his shoulders: "If he can't win the argument with me, he will definitely use you as a scapegoat... Brother, I don't want you to be wronged."
He Sui Chen's fighting ability is no joke, but when he comes to Gu Qingwu, he becomes an honest man who is powerless and will be bullied by his future father-in-law.
He lowered his handsome face slightly, and kissed her ear with his warm breath: "If you can't handle it, call me. It's only a few steps away. It's still not too late for a hero to save the damsel in distress."
Gu Qingwu's body got hot easily, and she couldn't hold him anymore, so she pushed him away: "Got it."
In the box of the Lan room.
Gu Wenhan, wearing an expensive dark blue suit from a famous brand, sat at the table and waited for a long time. He was never late for appointments, which was a gentlemanly demeanor he had maintained for many years. It was like a clock in his heart. After 8:10, he finally heard the door being pushed open.
Gu Qingwu deliberately came in ten minutes late. Her thin high heels felt like they were stepping on her father's temple. When she walked in, she was too lazy to close the door. She just found a chair and sat down.
Gu Wenhan didn't show any anger on his face. He was used to her rebellious style. He reached out and poured a glass of juice and handed it to her: "When you get angry, you deliberately come late by ten minutes. You are learning this from your mother more and more."
There is more to the resemblance between Gu Qingwu and Fu Wanwan. The moment she approached, Gu Wenhan almost thought he saw a younger version of Fu Wanwan because they hadn't seen each other for many years. It was just that the small light-colored mole on her delicate nose made her look more innocent. She didn't have the coolness and elegance that Fu Wanwan had when she was in her prime.
Although they both have the same beautiful face, Gu Qingwu gives people the feeling of being aloof from the world. When she opens her mouth to speak, she will make people angry: "It would be great if she looked like my mom. If she looks like you, it's over... You have a peach blossom face, and you have caused so much peach blossom debts. Be careful that you will be dead on the street one day. I wonder how the media in Licheng will write about this kind of social news about love murder."
"Curse your father to death, and you are still so rebellious."
"You can think of it as another way for a daughter to care for her old father." Gu Qingwu was thirsty after talking for a long time. She took a sip of corn juice, but found it too greasy. She put it aside and gave Gu Wenhan her signature smile: "Just like you care for me."
The atmosphere in the box was suffocatingly quiet and no one spoke.
At this time, the waiter came in with the dishes, just breaking the stalemate between the two. Gu Wenhan quickly adjusted his mood and said in a good temper: "No, no, I know that you were deeply affected by your parents' divorce when you were a child, and your personality became extreme and withdrawn. I was also forced to do so. Your mother is a domestic abuser..."
"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Fu Wanwan would beat up scumbag men."
"Wrong, wrong." Gu Wenhan didn't want to recall the time when he was abused during his marriage. He paused for a moment and his tone became heavy: "Even if your parents' marriage failed, it's not an excuse for you to go astray... Have you seen the revelations on the Internet? They say that you are a canary kept by a sponsor, an antique vase collected by a man. How can I, as a father, have the face to face..."
"Who outside knows that you, Fourth Master Gu, have a daughter?"
Gu Qingwu's existence was at most recognized within the Gu family. Once he got out of the house, Gu Wenhan's mind was all on the women outside, and he no longer remembered that he was a father.
He claimed to be single and unmarried, the fourth master of the Gu family, gentle and rich. He was severely hurt by Fu Wanwan, who was so beautiful that no other woman in Licheng could compare to her. After experiencing emotional trauma, he easily won the sympathy of women.
After all, Gu Wenhan appears to be a romantic, but in fact he is extremely heartless and doesn't love anyone but the beauty of women.
Gu Qingwu leaned her slender back against the chair, her red lips curved in a sarcastic arc, and she raised her hand to pick up the red wine beside her and drank it.
Gu Wenhan was speechless after being confronted by her. He no longer pretended to talk about the father-daughter relationship and said, "You should quit the circle. The Gu family can support you. After I die, you will be the first heir to my property."
"Retreat?"
"After you retire, Dad will find you a good match in Licheng. You are 25 years old this year, and you are at the right age to get married. Do you still want to find someone to marry in the entertainment industry?"
Gu Wenhan spoke in a fatherly tone, as if he was sincerely paving the way for her. Before he finished, he added, "I will give you some shares of the Gu family as a dowry. The Gu family is now the richest family in Licheng."
Gu Qingwu laughed when she heard it. She didn't say anything, but her smile made Gu Wenhan frown:
"I am your father, we are related by blood... Don't let Chu Sanyan and his ilk brainwash you anymore. And that Shen Yu, he obviously signed you to his company with bad intentions, and he has never given up on your mother for so many years, licking her like a dog."
Before he could finish the word "lick", the half-closed door of the box was kicked open with a bang.
The person standing outside was Shen Yu, who rushed over as fast as he could after receiving Gu Qingwu's text message.
When he was young, he had a grudge with Gu Wenhan over who stole his wife. Whenever they met in private over the years, there would be a lot of tension between them.
"You fucking sissy, when Wanwan and I were little, you were wearing diapers and hanging around in some women's den."
Gu Wenhan hated it most when people attacked his appearance. It was like hitting a sore spot. He put down the cup heavily and sneered, "It's better than a reckless man like you, with strong limbs but no brains. In order to pursue my ex-wife, you worked hard on your image to imitate me, right?"
When Shen Yu was young, he was a tough guy. Later, he found out that Fu Wanwan liked well-read gentlemen, so he changed his habit in order to please her. But who would have thought that a narcissistic sissy like Gu Wenhan would force him to follow his example and insist that he was imitating him.
He couldn't bear it just to hear it, not to mention that Gu Wenhan was secretly trying to destroy his relationship with Gu Qingwu.
Shen Yu cursed and rushed forward to attack.
Gu Qingwu sat leisurely beside him and took out his mobile phone to record the video. He kindly reminded: "Uncle Shen, swearing is immoral."
The words "Uncle Shen" instantly gave Shen Yu great courage, and he punched directly at Gu Wenhan's annoying face.
"I told you to sow discord. Wanwan was right to scold me. You are a scumbag!"

Next door, He Sui was sitting on the sofa sipping tea. After an unidentified while, he suddenly heard the sound of a vase smashing onto the floor. He frowned, picked up the black coat on the sideboard, stood up and walked out.
The door was open. The manager stood in the corridor, not daring to go in and offend the distinguished guest. He stared at him with a hesitant look.
The box was in a mess, the table was pushed crooked, the chairs and vases were in a mess, Shen Yu was grabbing Gu Wenhan by the collar, his anger was overflowing. Next to him, Gu Qingwu sat in his chair from beginning to end, his face was cold, as if he was watching a play.
Among the three people, Gu Wenhan was the worst off. He was not as old as Shen Yu, but still hung out in the boxing arena. Usually, he would just do some exercise to increase his capital for romance. Now, he had fought twice and was counterattacked five times unilaterally.
The expensive suit fabric was wrinkled, the neat tie was crooked, and there were bruises at the corners of his mouth. He looked very embarrassed.
The final deadlock was broken by the appearance of He Suichen. Both parties looked towards the door in tacit understanding and saw a young man in a light grey suit walking in. The soft light in the room shone on his handsome face. He looked calm and composed, which gave him a warm and reserved look. He looked like a kind person.
"Is there any misunderstanding between the two of you?"
He Suichen took the initiative to mediate the dispute between the two men, not taking sides. Before that, he even ordered the manager to reserve the entire third floor. After all, they were all respectable people, and if the news got out, it would be shameful for everyone.
Shen Yu had heard a little about the leader of the He family who had just returned to China. He was very polite to He Suichen, and instantly changed from an irritable middle-aged man to a mature and steady president. He took the initiative to shake hands and say hello: "Mr. He, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Gu Wenhan was extremely grateful to He Suichen for his help. He straightened his messed-up suit, tried to maintain his demeanor, and went forward to greet He Suichen. There was no sign that he had had a fierce dispute with Shen Yu.
He Suichen spoke in a leisurely tone, without the arrogance of someone who had achieved a high position at a young age. In just a few words, he made light of the embarrassing scene and invited the two to have a drink in the next box.
After he finished speaking, his eyes vaguely glanced at Gu Qingwu for two seconds.
Gu Qingwu pretended not to know He Suichen the whole time. She carried her bag and followed Gu Wenhan quietly. People who didn't know her would think she was a shy lady. Only Gu Wenhan could hear her saying to herself in a sarcastic tone, "You are old now. You should learn how to be steady and polite like Mr. He. Isn't quarreling with Shen Yu just asking for a beating? Does it hurt?"
Gu Wenhan was in pain even though she said that. He couldn't put down his pride and said, "He has a violent tendency, just like your mother who commits domestic violence!"
Gu Qingwu stepped on her high heels to the next private room, chose a chair farthest from He Suichen and sat down. She smiled obediently and whispered to Gu Wenhan, "You are a grown man. Being abused by your ex-wife is not something to brag about. Why do you keep talking about it?"
"Unfilial daughter!"
"Gu, who are you scolding?" Shen Yu heard this with sharp ears, and he fired back like a machine gun: "Wu Wu has been well-behaved, sensible and obedient since she was a child. If it weren't for your unreliable father, she..."
"Mr. Shen."
He Sui Chen poured him a glass of wine at the right time to prevent the two of them from arguing again.
Considering the presence of outsiders, Shen Yu temporarily stopped his temper and tolerated this bastard.
He Sui Chen poured some wine again, and then started talking about business. As businessmen, they are all ambitious. No matter how big the grudges are, they will put them aside when it comes to fame, fortune and money.
Gu Qingwu couldn't join in on this kind of topic, and had no interest in listening to it.
The wine He Suichen ordered was very delicious. She sat lazily in the chair and didn't say a word the whole night. Her white knuckles held the wine glass, shaking it occasionally, and the cold wine flowed between her lips. Before she knew it, she had secretly drunk half a bottle.
He didn't even listen carefully when Gu Wenhan introduced her to He Sui Chen.
In front of Shen Yu, Gu Wenhan repeatedly emphasized that Gu Qingwu was his daughter, deliberately showing off, and even said to He Suichen: "My daughter, Miu Miu, was the cutest before she was three years old. She would call me daddy as soon as she saw me."
He Suichen lifted his eyelids and looked at Gu Qingwu's extremely beautiful face for a moment, then turned his head and met Gu Wenhan's gaze: "Wrong?"
"My daughter's nickname, Gu Qingwu, was given by my ex-wife."
Gu Wenhan hated his ex-wife so much that he even disliked the name she gave to their daughter. He thought that calling Gu Qingwu Gu Cuocuo would be more to his liking.
Shen Yu said sarcastically, "If you hadn't stopped her, she would have been called Shen Qingwu."
"This is the first time I've seen someone eager to be someone's father. What hobbies does Mr. Shen have?"
Listening to the two of them arguing with each other again, this time He Suichen did not try to smooth things over. The curve of his thin lips even became a little colder. He just watched silently.
By the time this farce was over, it was already early evening.
He Sui Chen arranged a driver for both of them and personally escorted them out of the restaurant. When they were about to leave, Shen Yu was so drunk that he couldn't even stand. He pulled him aside and said, "Mr. He, please consider the project I mentioned tonight. Let's continue drinking another day."
After that, he was helped into the car by the driver.
No matter how much Gu Wenhan drinks, he will never lose his composure after drinking. At most, he will be a little dazed. When he sees He Suichen, he praises him: "Young man, you have a good alcohol tolerance!"
He Suichen had been drinking with them all night, and there was no sign of drunkenness in his eyes. He smiled gently and said, "Where is Mr. Gu staying? I'll arrange a hotel for you?"
Gu Wenhan waved his hand, holding onto the car door and looking around: "It's my fault."
He Suichen whispered, "Miss Gu left early because of something."
"Yeah?"
Gu Wenhan had no impression of this and couldn't remember it for a long time. Then he thought again, this was very consistent with the character of his unfilial daughter.
He Sui calmly sent Gu Wenhan to the car, stood by the road and watched him go away. After a minute or two, he returned to the private room on the third floor of the restaurant.
Gu Qingwu didn't leave. While he was out seeing someone off, she drank the remaining bottle of red wine.
He Suichen deliberately got Gu Wenhan and Shen Yu drunk, and asked the restaurant manager to serve them alcoholic drinks with high alcohol content. People who often hang out at drinking parties will get drunk easily, let alone Gu Qingwu who doesn't often attend social events.
When he walked in, he found her lying on the table. Her beautiful eyes were covered with mist. She looked up at him pitifully, not really recognizing him: "Where's my tail? Woo woo woo... I can't go back to the sea."
He Suichen walked slowly to her side, stretched out his arms and hugged her, his voice became gentler: "Tail?"
Gu Qingwu nodded vigorously, her cheeks flushed, and she looked more and more like a drunkard: "I am a mermaid... I had a blue tail before I came ashore, but now it's gone."
He Suichen lowered his head and observed her carefully. It seemed that she was really drunk. He coaxed her patiently: "Come home with me and it will grow out."
Gu Qingwu didn't say anything. He quietly carried her out of the compartment. When she got in the car, her breathing suddenly became a little hurried: "I'm so thirsty."
"What?"
He Suichen didn't hear her clearly. When he put her on the seat, he lowered the baffle, blocking the light from the driver's seat. The closed car compartment suddenly became dim, and only the woman's panting could be heard: "I'm so thirsty, so thirsty..."
Gu Qingwu put her drunken, hot cheeks close to his cold, white neck, which felt extremely soft and tender. She used rapid, thin panting to convey her uneasiness: "Your mermaid is dying of thirst."
Author has something to say: Gu Qingwu: “…your mermaid is dying of thirst.”
He Da Lao: "There is no water in the car."
Gu Qingwu: "If you die of thirst, you won't have a wife."
Boss He lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
