Gu Jiju called Bai Lan and agreed to meet at the square near the company.
Bai Lan had originally wanted to take a look around the company, but now he probably has no chance.
"Meet in the square?"
Bai Lan took a deep breath and agreed even though he was reluctant.
"I still have some things to take care of. Wait a moment and I'll be there soon! Please take the child to play for a while."
The phone was hung up in a hurry, and Gu Jiju was filled with mixed emotions.
This time, Gu Jiju probably prepared himself mentally, so he took his child out of the company in front of all the employees.
All the way to the square, Gu Jiju felt heavy-hearted.
If the child was Chen Yuan's, Gu Jiju would definitely not have such thoughts.
The man sighed deeply, the helplessness on his face particularly obvious.
The child was sensitive and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Jiju shook his head and didn't tell the truth.
"Nothing, I'm just too busy with work."
"Mom said you should rest more. She feels bad for you because you're always busy at the company."
"Yeah?"
In Gu Jiju's impression, Bai Lan's character is not very good.
Even if she cared about him, Gu Jiju would not be moved.
The man chuckled, tears glistening in his eyes.
But soon, the light was fleeting and disappeared completely.
"Then what does your mother say about me? What kind of person am I in her eyes?"
The child pondered for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.
But looking at Gu Jiju's serious expression, the child finally lied.
When I go out, I put these words on myself.
The child understood Gu Jiju's thoughts very well, so he quickly continued to speak in line with what he was saying.
"Mom said you're a very good person. Even though you're not around, we've kept in touch all these years. Mom also said you often send us money for living expenses."
Gu Jiju took a deep breath, really not understanding what Bai Lan meant.
I haven't had any involvement with him for many years.
Now, saying these things out of the blue was really hard for Gu Jiju to accept.
But the person in front of him was a child, and no matter how helpless Gu Jiju was, he had no way to refute.
"Really? So I'm so good in your mother's eyes?"
"Yes! Mom understands your work very well and says you are responsible. This time we returned to China to live with Dad."
Talking about this, Gu Jiju suddenly felt a little unhappy.
The man took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "Do you want some ice cream? How about I buy it for you?"
The children nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"think!"
"Then you wait here obediently. If your mother comes over, sit with her. I'll go buy it for you. You have to wait for me to come back."
The square is very empty and no one will come.
The reason why Gu Jiju left the child in the square with such confidence was that he wanted to observe the child's behavior.
The second reason is that I want to see what Bai Lan’s state is like after seeing the child.
Gu Jiju left the square, and the child stared at his back as he gradually disappeared into the alley.
The child breathed a sigh of relief until he was completely out of sight, then walked to the steps and sat down.
Behind him, Gu Jiju chose a suitable angle and was secretly observing the child's actions.
He didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did he contact anyone else. He just sat there blankly, waiting for me to come back.
Gu Jiju stood here for about five minutes, but still didn't see Bai Lan.
There was no other way, so the man had to go buy ice cream as soon as possible.
"Hello, can I ask where is the supermarket nearby?"
Looking around, the square was really empty and there was not a single convenience store in sight.
Gu Jiju stopped a passerby and asked, his eyes becoming more shrewd.
The other party also pointed out a location to Gu Jiju.
"It's far, you have to walk two blocks, and the nearby supermarkets are all closed, so you might have to walk for a while!"
“Okay, thank you!”
Don't be afraid to walk a little longer.
I’m afraid the kids will get anxious waiting.
This time, Gu Jiju quickened his pace, with the image of the child in his mind.
At that time, Chen Yuan just walked out of the company and was planning to go out to relax.
"Shen Yuan!"
Behind him, a colleague called out to the other person and immediately blocked his way.
"Where are you going?"
The woman lowered her brows, then rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go out for a walk. Is there anything wrong?"
"It's nothing, nothing. I'm just concerned about you. After all, the news about Mr. Gu has been going viral in the company today. Everyone is worried about you, afraid that you might become depressed..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Shen Yuan quickly interrupted him.
“How could it be!”
The woman frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across her eyes.
"For me, Gu Jiju has nothing to do with me anymore. Don't worry, we won't have any contact in the future!"
"Okay, so where are you hanging out? We'll come find you later."
"There's a big square nearby. I heard it's not crowded. I'm just going to take a walk there and will be back soon. If you guys are free, we can go shopping after get off work! I'm available anytime."
After the words fell, Shen Yuan turned and left.
His elegant back makes others feel sad.
Several colleagues gathered together, and the focus of the topic was still Chen Yuan.
The large square nearby is where Gu Jiju and the children are.
At this moment, Gu Jiju had not returned yet, but Chen Yuan had already arrived at the scene.
The child got up in a panic and walked around the square several times but couldn't find Gu Jiju.
Out of worry and fear, the child finally started crying.
The voice was sharp and shrill, making people feel distressed.
"What's wrong?"
Soon, a voice sounded from behind.
Looking towards the source of the sound, Shen Yuan was slowly approaching, tilting his head to inquire about the child's condition.
She came closer, looked around, and then asked, "Are your family members not here?"
The child rubbed his eyes. He was very sensitive and was afraid that he would be abandoned.
When Bai Lan was abroad, her boyfriend was not nice to the children.
He was often left alone on the street, neglected, and never thought about it at night.
Now that he has returned to his country, he thought the situation would improve, but he didn't know that it was all just his fantasy.
"family……"
The child sniffed, his voice trembling with fear.
"My family is buying ice cream nearby, but they haven't been back for a long time! I... I'm a little scared."
"Do you remember his phone number? I'll call it for you."
"I don't remember... I only know..."
The child pointed to a location and then looked in the direction where Gu Jiju disappeared.
"He went that way! He said he wanted to buy ice cream!"
There is no supermarket nearby.
If you want to buy ice cream, you have to walk two blocks.
Chen Yuan was very familiar with this place and naturally knew the terrain.
"That……"
She started to speak, but was interrupted by the child before she could finish.
"Sister, can you take me to see him? I'm a little scared that he won't want me, okay? Sister, just take me there!"
