Chapter 34 Special Circumstances, Special Treatment
Tang Xiuwen felt that this was not the right way for two people who had not yet come to their senses.
He had to do something for them.
"Don't you think you care about each other a little too much?"
Ning Mingluo also feels the same way about this issue.
But when he asked Gu Xiucheng the reason, Gu Xiucheng would not give him a direct answer.
Now he doesn't know what to do.
He looked at Tang Xiuwen, frowned slightly, and emphasized again: "I have nothing to do with Mr. Gu."
Ning Mingluo was not completely new to the world. He knew that there were countless people who liked a man like Gu Xiucheng.
The special feeling he had for Gu Xiucheng was probably because he liked Gu Xiucheng.
But he was also sober.
Not to mention the huge difference in status between him and Gu Xiucheng, everything he has now was obtained with Gu Xiucheng's help. What qualifications does he have to say that he likes Gu Xiucheng? What reason does he have to like Gu Xiucheng?
Therefore, it is best to cut off such thoughts at the beginning.
He has no way to control his emotions, but he hopes to look at this relationship rationally and not add burden to each other.
It's good enough now.
Tang Xiuwen looked at Ning Mingluo's expression and probably understood what was going on.
He said that no matter how dull a person is, it is impossible for him to have no feelings at all.
Now the problem lies with his brother Gu.
Based on his understanding of Brother Gu, it is absolutely impossible that he has no feelings for Ning Mingluo.
After all, it has been so many years, let alone falling in love, it would be impossible for anyone with such thoughts to get close to his brother.
Now Ning Mingluo not only stays by Brother Gu's side, but Brother Gu's attitude towards him can also be said to be extremely doting.
Tang Xiuwen had no doubt that if Ning Mingluo said he wanted a prosperous era, his brother would dare to kick him out and make way for Ning Mingluo.
Although saying this makes him seem pitiful, his brother is now in a stage where he is a tyrant.
But think about it, his brother has been without a close friend for so many years, and now he has someone to accompany him. This is such a good thing.
No, he couldn't let these two people stay like this, he had to help them.
As soon as Gu Xiucheng came back, Tang Xiuwen didn't give him time to react and directly pulled him out of the room.
Gu Xiucheng said coldly, "What are you doing? If you leave him alone in there, will you be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
"Boss Gu, my brother Gu, I just want to say something to you, and then I'll leave."
Gu Xiucheng straightened his sleeves and said, "Go ahead."
"What's your relationship with Ning Mingluo? He's just an artist in the company. It's not like you to be so nervous."
Gu Xiucheng didn't expect that this question would be asked.
"Why are you asking this? Are you planning to change your career and become a reporter?"
"Don't say such harsh words. I'm just asking around. After all, I've never seen you treat others like this. I'm just curious. Besides, you're already at this age, why don't you find someone?"
"Don't worry about what happened between him and me. Just take care of the people under you. If something like today happens again, I won't let it go so easily."
Tang Xiuwen was still worried that his brother hadn't gotten the message yet, but now it seems that he definitely wasn't.
It was obvious that it had already set its sights on its prey and was waiting to bring it back to its nest.
It turns out that one cannot underestimate his brother.
"Okay, okay, I won't get involved. I'll definitely take care of it."
When Gu Xiucheng returned to the ward, Ning Mingluo had already gotten out of bed.
"I'm fine now. Instead of staying here, why don't you go home and spend some time with grandma? I've been busy filming lately and haven't had a good chat with her."
"good."
He also knew that there was nothing wrong with Ning Mingluo's body, but Ning Mingluo would definitely not be happy to be kept here.
"I've already read Grandma's previous medical reports. A specialist will be coming soon. When he arrives, I'll arrange a detailed physical examination for Grandma."
"Did you go to see grandma's physical examination report?"
"Well, grandma's health is important. If it's discovered early, it can be cured. You don't have to worry too much."
"I hope so. By the way, don't tell grandma about what happened today. I don't want her to worry about me."
Gu Xiucheng looked at Ning Mingluo beside him.
He is young, but very sensible.
How many hardships did Ning Mingluo go through before meeting him?
How many hardships must Ning Mingluo have gone through to become as gentle and calm as she is now?
"Will you come upstairs with me?"
"I can't go up?"
"You know that's not what I meant. I'm worried about your job."
"I have nothing else to do today, so I'll go upstairs with you."
"Okay, but we may have to go out to buy groceries together later. I didn't tell grandma in advance that I would be back for dinner today."
"It should be."
Grandma was a little surprised to see the two of them come back so early.
"Why are you so early today? Have you finished your work with the crew?"
"The crew had half a day off today, and he went to visit the set, so I asked him to come back with me."
"Grandma, excuse me."
"Sorry to bother you, I'm so glad you're here. Come on in, what would you like to drink?"
"Grandma, I'll do it. You just need to rest." Ning Mingluo looked at his grandmother helplessly and let her rest.
Grandma was in particularly good spirits. If Ning Mingluo hadn't strictly forbade her to work, he would have suspected that she would have found a job for herself.
Grandma said angrily, "It's not like I can't move. I just sit around at home every day and don't know what to do. You finally have some free time today, but you won't let me move at all."
Gu Xiucheng put his coat aside and followed Ning Mingluo to do it.
"Grandma, I will come here often in the future. How can I still come here if you are like this every time?"
Ning Mingluo was listening nearby and felt that Gu Xiucheng was a completely different person in front of his grandmother.
In fact, Gu Xiucheng has many sides, but he feels that many things are unnecessary, so he looks so cold.
Especially at work, managing such a large group, if he is not serious, how can he manage his subordinates?
That's probably why the outside world mistakenly thinks Gu Xiucheng is that kind of person.
But in private, Gu Xiucheng treats his friends very well and treats his elders with respect.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
Ning Mingluo didn't even notice that he was distracted by looking at Gu Xiucheng.
Being reminded of this, her cheeks immediately turned red and she quickly lowered her head to continue fiddling with the cup in her hand.
"No, I was just distracted."
Gu Xiucheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't tease Ning Mingluo after all.
After getting the drinks, it was still early, so the three of them played cards together for a while.
Grandma won the most and was particularly happy.
As dinner was approaching, Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng went out to buy groceries together.
"Thank you for playing with grandma this afternoon. Grandma hasn't been this happy in a long time."
He lives with his grandmother, and they are his only relatives. However, he is usually busy with work and does not have much time to spend with his grandmother.
Times like today are rare.
"I'm happy too."
The two of them strolled around the supermarket, looking for things to buy.
Buy all the vegetables first.
"Is there anything you want to eat?"
"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food."
Ning Mingluo was picking out the freshest dishes while jokingly saying, "I thought big CEOs like you were all very picky eaters."
"Am I very different from what you imagined?"
"At least I never thought that one day a CEO would accompany me to the supermarket to buy groceries."
After putting the dishes into the cart pushed by Gu Xiucheng, the two smiled at each other.
After buying the vegetables, Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng bought some snacks and daily necessities together.
While chatting, Ning Mingluo became curious.
"Why have I never heard you mention your parents?"
Although there are many stories about Gu Xiucheng's parents circulating in the business world, such as being a perfect couple, an elite business couple, and so on, those are just evaluations of them by outsiders.
What are his parents like in Gu Xiucheng's eyes?
"Curious about my parents?"
"A little bit." Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng were not as reserved when talking to each other as before.
"They retired early, and they handed over the company to me as soon as I became an adult. I traveled all over the world and only came back in the last two years, spending more time at home. But I don't go home very often."
Judging from what Gu Xiucheng said, it doesn't seem like he has a bad relationship with his parents. Besides, Gu Xiucheng is an only child, so their family relationship should actually be pretty good.
"Why don't you go home?"
"They feel like I'm disturbing their private time."
"They are still so loving after all these years. Uncle and aunt must love each other very much."
"Well enough."
Gu Xiucheng did not comment on his parents' love.
The two of them were too close to each other every day, and he couldn't stand it even when he stayed at home.
His father is a big shot in the business world, but he is as obedient as a puppy in front of his mother.
His mother single-handedly reached the top level in the manufacturing industry, which was dominated by men, but she always cried in front of his father without stopping for a second.
Gu Xiucheng didn't know how to describe these two people.
However, although he could not understand them, looking at Ning Mingluo beside him, Gu Xiucheng felt that Ning Mingluo's red eyes and panic expression were actually quite good-looking.
Ning Mingluo, who was taking out things to pay, had no idea what Gu Xiucheng was thinking.
I’m just glad that there were two of us here today, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to carry so many things.
After scanning the product code, Gu Xiucheng had already paid before Ning Mingluo even opened his phone.
"You are a guest, why should I ask you to spend money?"
Gu Xiucheng calmly put away his phone: "I came to your house for dinner, so I should pay for the meal."
"Now that you say that, why didn't you let me pay for dinner when you treated me to it before?"
"Special circumstances require special treatment."
Ning Mingluo once heard a saying: Where a man's money is, there is his love.
He didn't know whether this statement was right or not, but he felt that he should be the only one who could make Gu Xiucheng spend money.
To Gu Xiucheng, he is the special one.
"Give me everything."
Slowly, Gu Xiucheng held the contents of the two bags in his hands, and Ning Mingluo felt relieved.
Before Ning Mingluo could react, Gu Xiucheng had already walked out of the supermarket carrying the things.
