Chapter 76 Glutton
Gu Yunting was indeed a little excited to see Ji Wanwan, after all, she was an important figure in his life after leaving the Gu family.
He suppressed his joy and extended his hand: "Let's get acquainted, Gu Yunting."
"Ji Wanwan".
Ji Wanwan reached out and glanced at him from head to toe. He was also dressed in a suit and tie, shouldn't he be composed?
It doesn't match my personality at all.
Gu Yunting gave a meaningful "oh," his eyes filled with a desire to take her away.
"Why are you staying at our house?" Gu Yunting asked.
After all, the wife of a Russian tycoon is so busy that she can't even fit in her own house, yet she wants to come to their house.
Although taking care of family is not bad.
Ji Wanwan remained silent. She couldn't very well say it was to seek refuge, so she thought for a moment and said.
"They had a fight..."
Gu Yunting looked like he understood, and the two of them even used the same words. No wonder they shared the same bed.
He wanted to ask more questions, but Gu Haiqu tapped his forehead.
"Go stay at the company."
Before the holiday even started, Gu Yunting was already heading home.
Gu Yunting retorted, "How old am I? Why are you hitting me?"
Gu Hai glanced at him and said, "No matter how old I am, I'm still your father."
...
Gu Yunting glared at him. He had finally found Ji Wanwan, but he definitely couldn't take her away now.
We'll just have to wait for another opportunity.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Let's go then."
Gu Yunting waved to Ji Wanwan.
"I'll look for you again next time."
Ji Wanwan pursed her lips; the interaction between the two was hilarious.
Do all members of the Gu family have a natural comedic gene?
No, Gu Qingci isn't funny; he's too aloof.
Knowing that Ji Wanwan was looking for him, Gu Hai sent Gu Yunting away.
"You arrived a long time ago?"
Ji Wanwan thought he had forgotten that she had been eavesdropping there, but he still asked her about it.
Ji Wanwan looked at the dog that was still clinging to Gu Hai's trouser leg and pointed at it, saying, "Yes, it brought me here."
It certainly deserves some credit.
Gu Hai picked it up and chuckled, "I knew it was going to find you."
Ji Wanwan watched as the dog rubbed its head against his face affectionately.
"Is this your dog?"
"Yeah, call him Rice Bucket," Gu Hai said seriously.
"Good-for-nothing?" Ji Wanwan's upturned lips fell back down.
That's a good name!
When the food bucket in Gu Hai's arms heard Ji Wanwan call her, it immediately stood up and barked at her a few times.
He even tried to jump on Ji Wanwan, but Gu Hai stopped him.
Ji Wanwan subconsciously took a step back; there was no need to be so enthusiastic towards her.
"Useless." Gu Hai shook his head and rubbed its head.
"I didn't expect you to not only keep fish, but also dogs."
The contrast is too great; the person is not even sixty years old yet, but is already living a retired life.
Gu Hai's life was practically her dream.
"You want to ask me about your mother, don't you?"
Gu Hai returned to the topic, knowing that Ji Wanwan had come to him to ask about Ji Meiyan.
Ji Wanwan nodded.
"Your mother has passed away," Gu Hai said frankly.
He was such a jerk back then. He used Ji Meiyan a few times and then dumped her, but Ji Meiyan fell in love with Gu Hai the first time she met him.
She was very persistent in her pursuit of him. Gu Hai offered her money for an abortion, but she couldn't bear to part with it.
They couldn't bear to part with their child.
She relentlessly pursued Gu Hai until she gave birth to Ji Wanwan. At that time, Ji Meiyan brought the newborn Ji Wanwan to the Gu family's door.
She begged Gu Hai to adopt her, but Gu Hai no longer liked her and sent her away. He didn't even want Ji Wanwan.
After this incident, Ji Meiyan handed Ji Wanwan over to Si Shu, heartbroken, and jumped into the river to her death...
Therefore, Si Shu did not want Ji Wanwan to have any further contact with the Gu family.
Ji Wanwan's face remained expressionless upon hearing this, perhaps she had already guessed it.
Even now that it's confirmed, she still feels empty inside, and a mix of emotions wells up inside her.
It made her feel conflicted.
"Then, where is my father?" Ji Wanwan unconsciously gripped her cane tighter.
If her father also dies, then she will truly be without parents.
This time, it was Gu Hai's turn to fall silent.
Should I tell her that I am her father?
Even if I tell her, Ji Wanwan won't admit it; she might just keep digging deeper for answers.
But saying that you're dead doesn't seem quite right.
Gu Hai sighed as he saw Ji Wanwan looking at him with a probing expression.
"Yes, as far as I know, your father may have committed suicide for love."
Gu Hai himself felt a bit shameless, but he had given himself face.
Since you've said you're going to die, you should at least die with dignity.
Ji Wanwan's pupils shrank suddenly, her eyes were empty, as if she had been frightened, and she stood there stunned.
Really, they're all dead...
No wonder Si Shu had kept it a secret from her since she was a child.
Ji Wanwan lowered her eyes, her tone dejected: "I understand."
"Thank you," she said, and then left.
She felt that every step she took was very heavy. Although she had no memory of her parents, they were still the people who gave her life.
They are people related by blood.
Looking at her slender back, Gu Hai realized that he had made another mistake.
I am not worthy to be her father.
Seeing Ji Wanwan leave, the rice bucket in his arms immediately jumped down and barked at Gu Hai a few times.
It means it wants to go with Ji Wanwan.
Gu Hai nodded: "Go ahead."
The glutton is so cute, at least it will cheer her up a bit.
The glutton silently followed behind Ji Wanwan, knowing she was afraid of him, and deliberately kept his distance.
Having figured out the general direction, Ji Wanwan walked back along the original route and arrived at the backyard in just over ten minutes.
She seemed to be unable to see or hear, only knowing that she wanted to go back.
The glutton behind her stepped forward, wanting to cheer her up, and struck all sorts of funny poses in front of her.
But Ji Wanwan didn't show any expression, and even her previous fear of dogs was gone.
The glutton lowered his head and could only retreat behind her helplessly.
Ji Wanwan had only gone halfway when Dmitry returned and questioned her, "Where have you been?"
"forecourt."
Dmitri frowned. Every time she left for such a short time, her daughter would wander around. She was about to scold her.
As if she could predict what he was going to say, Ji Wanwan slowly said, "I understand, I won't go out."
Dmitri swallowed back what he was about to say.
Why are you being so well-behaved today?
Something feels off about the atmosphere.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"It's nothing." After saying that, he went upstairs by himself.
The rice bucket behind her followed, now completely clinging to Ji Wanwan.
However, after going upstairs, Ji Wanwan ruthlessly shut the door to it.
It paced back and forth in front of the door anxiously, and finally squatted down helplessly at the doorway, a fluffy lump of fur.
Ji Wanwan carelessly tossed her crutch on the ground and collapsed onto the bed.
I should have known better than to ask.
Asking that question really put me in a bad mood.
It's like they're forcing themselves to endure something they can't handle!
Si Shu didn't tell her for her own good, but she just had nothing better to do and insisted on knowing the result.
Now look what happened!
Not only did I get tired, but my mood also became heavy.
She picked up her phone to call Si Shu, but when she checked the time, she realized it was already past ten o'clock.
"Grandma should be asleep by now." He sighed and put his phone down.
There's no one to confide in...
Ji Wanwan buried herself under the covers, feeling a sudden pang of grievance, her nose stinging.
A soft sob broke the silence as she bit the blanket to suppress her sobs.
I comforted myself.
At least she still has her grandmother...
She wasn't all alone; Si Shu cared for her and loved her very much, and that was enough.
