Chapter 53: A man must prove himself with his strength

"Have you seen him?" Gu Nanyue asked curiously.

Lu Wan shook her head. "I've never met him, and I haven't added any contact information. We just chatted occasionally on Weibo. I always felt that he was very lonely and sad. I hope my paintings can heal him, but it seems difficult. After all, I can't even completely heal myself."

"Wanwan, if that's the case, you should heal yourself first." Gu Nanyue looked at Lu Wan distressedly, "The misfortune of your original family cannot be changed, but you can escape from it. Since your family has been hurting you, you are now an adult, you can move out and live on your own."

Wanwan's stepmother and two sisters always like to bully and oppress her. In this case, she can choose not to live with them anymore.

"Move out?" Lu Wan's eyes lit up slightly.

She always felt that she was born into that family, all the injustice and oppression were destined, and she had no right to choose.

Now she suddenly realized that she actually had a choice.

She could leave them.

I can paint in peace and quiet without being suppressed by them every day.

"Nan Yan, I know what to do." Lu Wan also felt that if she wanted to save others, she had to save herself first.

She wants to leave that home and live out on her own.

"If you need my help, just let me know." Gu Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had figured it out.

It is possible to break free from the constraints of others.

What people fear most is that they restrict themselves.

The two sat in the cafe for a long time.

Gu Nanyue's phone vibrated.

Chen Boyan sent a message: [Have you returned home? 】

Gu Nanyan: [No]

Chen Boyan: [Where is it? I'll pick you up】

Gu Nanyue looked at the message and then paid attention to the time.

It seems a bit late.

Since Qin Yuwei left the Shen family, Xiao Mumu added two classes in the early education class.

It's almost time to go home from school now.

“Wanwan, I have to go back. Let’s make an appointment next time.” After Gu Nanyan greeted Lu Wan, she sent the location of the cafe to Shen Boyan.

"Okay." Lu Wan probably knew that someone was urging her, and smiled meaningfully.

Nan Yan and Shen Shao have a very good relationship now.

It seems that feelings can indeed be cultivated.

Time reveals a person's true character.

Shen Boyan came directly to the downstairs of the cafe to pick up Gu Nanyan.

At this time, the couple just went to pick up Xiao Mumu from school.

In the car, Shen Boyan rarely took the initiative to find a topic, “Miss Lu Si is good at painting, but you are no worse than her.”

"Hmm?" Gu Nanyan tilted her head to look at the handsome man in a suit, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, right?"

Just because he saw her painting that one time, he thought she was better than Wanwan?

"Tell the truth." The man looked at her deeply with his deep eyes. The penetrating look made Gu Nanyue dare not look at him.

"Ahem... I met Mr. Huo today." Gu Nanyue quickly changed the subject.

When mentioning Huo Beiting, Shen Boyan raised his chin arrogantly, his eyes full of disdain.

So what if it happens?

"Bo Yan, do you often drink with him?" Gu Nanyue asked quietly.

"Not often." Shen Boyan said and then realized something, "What did he say?"

Gu Nanyan: "He said you can't drink as much as he does."

Shen Boyan: “…”

He didn't say anything, but just sat up straight dangerously, with a sharp light flashing faintly in his dark and cold eyes.

Can't drink as much as him?

How dare Huo Beiting say such things?

-

"Mom, does Dad still have work tonight?"

Shen Boyan had dinner at home and then went out in the car again.

Xiao Mumu looked at his mother blankly and asked.

“That should be it.”

Gu Nanyue wasn't sure.

Because today she seemed to vaguely hear Shen Boyan asking Ling Hanzhi to arrange an appointment for him.

It looked like a fight.

But someone of his status shouldn't challenge others to a fight.

"Dad works so hard."

Little Mumu hugged his mother's legs, and his cute little face was full of heartache.

Gu Nanyan couldn't help but squat down and pick him up, "Yes, so you must love daddy well."

"I know. Mommy has a hard time too. I will always love daddy and mommy." Little Mumu said obediently and sensibly.

Gu Nanyan's heart melted, and she looked at the little guy tenderly and lovingly, "Daddy and Mommy will love you forever, too."

…

As the night deepened, Shen Boyan still hadn't returned.

When Gu Nanyue thought he was going to deal with work, she washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, the cell phone rang as soon as I lay down.

When I looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Shen Boyan calling.

She immediately pressed the answer button.

But Ji Mingyu's voice came from the other side: "Sister-in-law, come to the place where we were last time. Young Master Shen took the wrong medicine today. Something serious is going to happen."

"What?"

Gu Nanyue suddenly sat up from the bed.

Did Bo Yan take the wrong medicine?

Who gave him the medicine?

"Please come here quickly."

Ji Mingyu hurriedly said this and hung up the phone.

Gu Nanyue didn't dare to waste a moment. She went out without even changing her pajamas and went straight to the bar where they had the last party.

Ji Mingyu was actually waiting outside the bar.

As soon as he saw Gu Nanyue, he was like seeing a life-saving straw, "Hurry up, I don't know why Master Shen got into a fight with Huo Beiting today. The two of them have been drinking like crazy. If this continues, I'm worried that something will happen."

Neither of these two gentlemen is easy to talk to, and no one of them dares to persuade them.

Sister-in-law should be able to persuade Mr. Shen, right?

Gu Nanyue frowned and quickly followed Ji Mingyu into the private room.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pile of wine bottles.

On the sofa, the competition between the two men has ended.

Huo Beiting lay down first.

And Shen Boyan was still holding the wine glass elegantly in one hand, shaking it slowly.

He didn't seem drunk at all.

"Well, it's over."

Ji Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huo Beiting lying down.

Someone has to lie down first.

Otherwise, something serious will happen.

Mr. Shen is not a big drinker. Every time he drinks with them, he always stops at the limit. But today, I don’t know why he went crazy.

It was also the first time he knew that Young Master Shen had such a good alcohol tolerance.

"Shen Boyan."

Gu Nanyan walked through the dim light and came directly in front of Shen Boyan.

Shen Boyan's hand that was shaking the wine glass suddenly stopped.

He slowly raised his handsome face, looked at Gu Nanyan's angry face, and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Then he looked down at her slender white legs and said, "You are not allowed to wear such short pants outside."

"I'll take you home."

Gu Nanyue snatched the wine glass from his hand and put it on the table, then helped him up and walked out.

Being able to get Huo Beiting drunk, Shen Boyan was naturally not much better, and he even staggered when he walked.

Finally, he got into the car with the help of Ji Mingyu and Chu Yan.

As soon as he got in the car, he leaned his entire heavy body on the little woman.

His handsome face was buried tightly in the crook of her neck which exuded a faint fragrance. "As a man, you must prove yourself with your strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the little woman's lap.

Gu Nanyan: ...

What sin have I committed?
