Chapter 57

"Friends? I thought my brother went to study in London because of you." Song Xiaoyu said.

"You misunderstood." Gu Qingyue put the phone in her coat pocket. "I'm not that charming."

"Really?" Song Xiaoyu lowered his head, looking at his phone, and said, "My brother is urging us. Qingyue, are you okay?"

"Okay." Gu Qingyue picked up her bag and said, "Let's go."

When the two of them took the elevator down, Song Xiaoshu happened to be waiting outside. Song Xiaoshu checked his watch and said, "This is more than ten minutes."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Song Xiaoshu glanced at her and said, "Why are you so polite today?"

"It's a shame to repay a favor." Gu Qingyue said seriously.

Song Xiaoshu smiled, one hand in his slacks pocket, and added, "My dad heard you were in Macau, so he asked you to come over for dinner tomorrow."

"Have you told Uncle Song?" Gu Qingyue asked.

Song Xiaoshu raised her hand and nodded at Song Xiaoyu, meaning that it was what she said.

Gu Qingyue looked melancholy and asked, "Can I not go?"

Song Xiaoshu said, "Can my dad still eat you?"

"No, I'm not good at dealing with elders." Gu Qingyue explained softly.

Song Xiaoyu urged from the side: "Go ahead, I'll be there too. My uncle is actually a very lovely elder."

Gu Qingyue agreed.

Song Xiaoshu drove the two of them to a restaurant that specializes in Cantonese cuisine. The interior decoration is elegant Chinese style. There is a crystal curtain on one side of the aisle. The square table is covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and on top of the snow-white tablecloth is a long yellow cloth that hangs down to the carpet.

Song Xiaoyu said: "Many celebrities come here to eat. Maybe I can see one or two later."

The three of them were just led by the waiter to sit down at the table. They didn't see anyone, but saw Song Xiaoshu's ex-girlfriend coming up to greet them. The girl had curly hair and a gray mink coat over a black suspender skirt. She exuded a sense of wealth and luxury. She only said to Song Xiaoshu: "Long time no see, Song Xiaoshu."

Song Xiaoshu leaned back in his chair, playing with his phone, with a lazy attitude: "It's been a while."

The girl didn't seem to care about Song Xiaoshu's attitude. She glanced around the table and finally landed on Gu Qingyue's face. She smiled and said, "Your girlfriend? Let me introduce her to you."

Song Xiaoshu shifted his gaze from the phone to her face and said, "I advise you to hurry over. Your boyfriend seems impatient waiting. Or do you need me to go and say hello to him and tell him about your past?"

He had a carefree smile on his face, looking harmless.

The girl glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "You bastard."

Song Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue at Gu Qingyue and said to him, "This playboy."

Gu Qingyue didn't care much. She picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then just said, "Hey, your ex-girlfriend has quite the personality."

Song Xiaoshu was not interested in talking about his ex in front of Gu Qingyue. Given the current situation, talking about this was not a good thing.

After that, no one came to disturb the three of them while they were having their meal.

After dinner, Song Xiaoyu was called away by a phone call, and Song Xiaoshu took Gu Qingyue back to the hotel. The car stopped downstairs of the hotel. When Gu Qingyue was about to get out, Song Xiaoshu suddenly stopped her, stared at her face, and said, "Uncle Gu has been in Macau these days."

Gu Qingyue was slightly stunned. After a moment, she calmed down and said calmly, "Oh."

Song Xiaoshu said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow night."

"good."

Gu Qingyue entered the hotel and didn't think about Gu Hengsheng's problem. She returned to her room and called Gu's mother to mention that she would go to the Song family for dinner tomorrow night.

Hearing this, Mother Gu reminded her not to come empty-handed.

Gu Qingyue hugged the pillow, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom."

"What's wrong?" Mother Gu's voice was gentle.

"Is Third Uncle in Macau?"

Mother Gu: "Yes, there is a problem with the property under your fourth uncle's name, and your third uncle is also in Macau these days."

Gu Qingyue placed the pillow on her knees, put her fingers on it, and drew circles unconsciously.

Mother Gu asked her, "Did your third uncle contact you?"

Gu Qingyue shook her head: "No, Song Xiaoshu mentioned this to me."

The two didn't talk for long before hanging up the phone. Gu Qingyue got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The next day, when Gu Qingyue woke up, washed up, put on some light makeup, and went out to buy a gift for Uncle Song. Last night, Gu Qingyue asked Song Xiaoshu what his father liked, and Song Xiaoshu just said to her, "He likes to drink tea."

Gu Qingyue approached a tea shop. The shop assistant came up to ask what she needed. Gu Qingyue asked, "What kind of tea is good for an elder?"

The clerk recommended it to her, and Gu Qingyue accepted her suggestion and ordered two boxes of Jin Jun Mei. The clerk wrapped them in a gift box and handed them to her.

Gu Qingyue walked out of the teahouse and entered a noodle shop. She ordered a bowl of wontons with red oil and took it back to the hotel.

After finishing a plate of wontons, Gu Qingyue stayed in the hotel until Song Xiaoshu called and told her that he was waiting downstairs.

After Gu Qingyue hung up, she took the gift box on the coffee table, took out the room card, and closed the door.

The phone in her bag rang with a message alert. Gu Qingyue held the phone in one hand and lit up the screen. It was Gu Hengsheng replying to her message. Gu Qingyue stared at the message for a while, then slid her finger to the address book and dialed his number.

The lights in the corridor were dim. Gu Qingyue waited for a while before the call was finally connected. His voice came through, sounding a bit tired: "Qingyue?"

Gu Qingyue took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Third Uncle, I'm going to see Uncle Song tonight."

Gu Qingyue knew that there was ambiguity in her words, and as she wished, there was no sound from the other end.

Gu Qingyue then said, "Do you remember what I told you last time in London? I said I wanted to find someone to fall in love with and live a different life."

"Now, I want to ask you, can this person be you?" Gu Qingyue said softly, "I don't want you to give me an answer right now. You should think about it for two days. There is no such thing as a third time. This will probably be the last time I confess to you."

Gu Qingyue finished speaking and hung up the phone. In the darkness, she let out a long sigh, leaning her shoulders back against the door. She raised her eyes slightly and saw Song Xiaoshu a few steps away.

Gu Qingyue suddenly stood up straight and spoke with a hint of panic in her voice: "Xiaoshu."

Song Xiaoshu stepped closer, laughed, and said, "I didn't see that, Qingyue. Tell me, have you always known how I feel about you? Did you know when you asked me if I liked you last time in the library?"

Gu Qingyue didn't say anything.

"Actually, at that time, I was wondering if you expected me to deny it the moment you asked me that question?" Song Xiaoshu stared at her with a scorching gaze. "When you asked me to stay with you on my birthday, was it because of Uncle Gu?"

Gu Qingyue said slowly: "I'm sorry."

Song Xiaoshu kicked the trash can beside the door, and the trash can fell to the ground. The sound was drowned out by the carpet. The wheels rolled around and then lay across the middle of the aisle. The aluminum alloy trash can was in the aisle, emitting a lonely and faint light.

Song Xiaoshu lowered his head and sneered faintly. He raised his head and looked at her: "Qingyue, then I hope your confession fails."

The author has something to say: Sorry for the estimation bias.
