The next day, Fu Nanli wore a black suit. Wen Qiao leaned against the closet in the cloakroom to help him button his shirt, then reached out and hugged him: "Wait for you to come back for dinner."
"good."
On a midsummer evening, on Jingnan Road, Gu Xiao's grandmother brought out the food from the kitchen and said, "Let's have dinner."
Just as Gu Xiao was about to pick up the chopsticks, he heard the sound of high heels hitting the bluestone pavement. He looked up and saw his mother standing at the door.
When the old lady saw her daughter, her face immediately darkened and she just stuffed the chopsticks into Gu Xiao's hands: "Eat, eat."
Just pretend you didn’t see Gu Yunzhu.
Gu Yunzhu walked over with unsteady steps, pulled a low stool and sat down. The old lady frowned: "You smell of alcohol. You drink in broad daylight. If you drink, drink at home. You didn't drive here, did you?"
Gu Yunzhu waved her hand: "I called a taxi, how could I be driving under the influence of alcohol?"
The old lady said angrily, "I told you not to come over. You are so dressed up that you will scare the neighbors."
Gu Yunzhu said unwillingly: "I am your daughter, why do you always look so cold to me?"
The old lady held the bowl and said, "You know what you did. I don't want to say anything about you in front of the children."
Gu Yunzhu's eyes were red. "Today is his death anniversary. I don't even have the right to visit his grave. As soon as he knew I was pregnant, he committed suicide. Our Gu Xiao has never even met his father. What did I do wrong?"
"Shut up! You are talking nonsense in front of the child. Ah Xiao, your mother is drunk and crazy. Go out and hail a taxi for her and let her go back."
When Gu Xiao left, Gu Yunzhu looked at her mother indignantly: "What's wrong with loving someone? What's wrong? You are my mother. It's been so many years. Why are you still giving me a cold shoulder?"
"You gave birth to a child who shouldn't have been in this world. He was born without a father and has to face a mother like you. Over the years, you have instilled in him so many words that he shouldn't have to endure. This is what I hate. You are not a qualified mother. You shouldn't ruin a good child. See A Xiao less in the future."
There were footsteps, and Gu Xiao whispered, "The taxi is here."
The old lady waved her hand: "You can go now."
Gu Yunzhu gnashed her teeth and said, "Mom, you will regret treating me like this. After I take back what belongs to me and after I gain a foothold in the upper class circles of Haicheng, you will definitely regret it."
After saying that, he hurried out the door.
Gu Xiao didn't say a word the whole time. The old lady looked at him worriedly and said, "Ah Xiao, don't learn from your mother, okay? Money is just an external thing. Living a down-to-earth life is the real thing."
Gu Xiao lowered his eyes: "Got it, grandma."
The old lady happily picked up some food for him and said, "Good boy, good boy."
As night fell, Fu Nanli returned from the cemetery and stood outside the door. He gently brushed off the fallen pine needles and the desolate loneliness on his shoulders, then reached out to enter the password.
Wen Qiao, who was learning financial knowledge out of boredom, reached out and turned off the stock market on the computer screen.
Because Fu Nanli's cousins were always eyeing his family property, and Wen Qiao was always worried that he would be schemed against, so he wanted to learn it himself so that he could help him share some of the burden.
In fact, she had been reading some books and watching some videos on finance since Fu Jiang was in prison, and she started studying hard when Fu Cheng's ambition was exposed.
