Chapter 332 The Cui Family Arrives
Gu Nan was a little disappointed. He thanked the service staff, got in the car and left the resort.
Shortly after they left, an off-road vehicle with a unique black and gold pattern drove into the resort.
The car door opened, and a tall man walked into the lobby. He found the front desk clerk, took out a photo, and said in a cold voice, "Inspector, have you seen this person before?"
The front desk clerk picked up the photo, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head. "Sorry."
The man scoffed, "Really?"
He wore sunglasses, revealing only his high nose bridge and light-colored lips. He looked unwell, but he was quite imposing, and the slightly raised corners of his lips revealed his sarcasm.
The front desk clerk subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze, but forced herself not to hide, and said calmly, "Sorry, I haven't seen him. If you need me, you can leave your contact information and I'll keep an eye out for you."
The man didn't say yes or no, he just stared at her with a pair of eyes hidden behind glasses, staring at her until she broke out in a cold sweat.
She wanted to warn him, but he had already turned around and strode out of the hall.
A bony hand opened the car door, and the tall and slender figure lowered his head and got into the car with the black and gold pattern of the Inspection Department painted on it, and drove away.
Gu Nan continued to stay at home.
The next day, the resort called and said Cui Shao was out of danger.
Gu Nan felt relieved and thanked the other party happily.
Another day, the resort called again and said that the Cui family wanted to visit and express their gratitude in person, and asked if it was convenient for Gu Nan.
Gu Nan was not available, so he declined immediately.
She also said sincerely that she did good deeds not for any reward but only to feel at ease. Finally, she righteously found a lot of reasons, including but not limited to long business trips, hemorrhoidectomy, and immigration.
The staff was stunned when they heard this, probably because it was the first time they had seen such a strange thing. After a difficult communication, they said they would convey it to her.
Gu Nan wanted to run away, but was afraid that running would make him look even more guilty, so he continued to stay at home.
Gu Jin asked her to go downstairs for a walk in the evening, but she refused. She asked her to go out for dinner, but she refused. She asked her to go to the supermarket, but she refused.
She doesn't even order takeout anymore, preferring to eat the tasteless dishes she cooks herself.
After staying there for a week, there was no movement from the Cui family, and Gu Nan's heart gradually calmed down.
Gu Jin's current project has come to a temporary end, and winter vacation has finally arrived, with less than three weeks left until the Chinese New Year.
Gu Nan has already finished writing his thesis and is currently studying it systematically. He is very happy typing away every day.
Gu Jin felt that Gu Nan was too tired from sitting in front of the computer every day and suggested that they go on vacation, but Gu Nan reluctantly refused.
She firmly believed that as long as she studied hard, even if ten years passed after she returned, she would still be able to find a job she wanted with her outstanding system coding skills.
But she soon paid the price for her eagerness to learn.
Just as Gu Nan had guessed, most of the people living in this community are highly educated. The residents upstairs and downstairs are either teachers from a certain university or researchers from a certain research institute.
After Gu Jin came back, other residents in the community also ushered in their winter vacation. The community became more and more lively day by day. Gu Jin would make something to give to neighbors from time to time or invite friends to visit his home to keep in touch.
As more people came and went, Gu Nan no longer rang the doorbell.
She was so absorbed in the ocean of knowledge that she didn't even notice the rare guest coming to her home.
It wasn't until Gu Jin knocked on the door and asked her if she had saved anyone at the resort that she realized that something had gone wrong.
Gu Jin said, "Someone from the Cui family is here and wants to thank you in person."
Gu Nan's face suddenly changed. He stood up from the chair and subconsciously walked to the window, opened it and wanted to run away.
But she quickly realized that she was Gu Bei now and had nothing to do with Gu Nan. Why would she run away? It would be strange if she ran away. So she calmly sat back in her chair and said calmly, "Mom, it's just a small matter. No need to thank me."
Gu Jin was puzzled by Gu Nan's inexplicable behavior, but she didn't dwell on it. She just said, "Xiao Bei, are you shy? It's okay. Mom is with you."
Gu Nan shook his head, "Really, no need. I almost forgot about it."
Gu Jin persuaded gently, "You don't care, but the Cui family takes this matter very seriously. Several people have come, bringing a lot of things. You didn't mention it to me, so I don't know how to deal with it. If you really don't like dealing with them, just sit for a while and go back to your room immediately, okay?"
Gu Nan: “…”
Gu Nan could understand Gu Jin's thoughts. Gu Nan had never mentioned such a big thing as saving someone to her, but suddenly someone came to thank her. Of course, Gu Jin had to let Gu Nan show up so that both parties could confirm that the favor was not mistaken, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.
But, Mom! You're scaring me!
What do you mean by several people? Who are they?
She hesitated, "How many people are here?"
Gu Jin was also helpless. "Three members of the Cui family came, but there are also many bodyguards. The living room is almost full."
So she was also very scared.
There were three people. Gu Nan guessed they were Cui Shao, the old lady, Cui Shao's mother/Cui Shao's father, or Cui Shao and his parents. Except for Cui Shao, they were all trivial matters.
Gu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Gu Jin touched her head and went out first.
Gu Nan walked out timidly with his messy hair, eyes downcast and shoulders hunched.
As soon as she appeared, the conversation in the living room stopped immediately.
Except for the bodyguard, everyone else looked at Gu Nan, some scrutinizing him, some looking at him sharply, making Gu Nan want to turn around and leave.
Gu Jin came up and took her hand, "Xiaobei, come here."
Gu Jin led Gu Nan to a wheelchair and said, "Is this the person you saved that night?"
Gu Nan first saw a pair of exquisitely crafted black leather shoes, a noticeable wrist bone wrapped in socks of the same color, well-cut trousers, a pair of slender and powerful legs, and finally a neat and formal three-piece suit, and a hand resting on the armrest and hanging naturally in front of the abdomen.
The hand was just as she remembered it, white and clean, with distinct joints and slightly protruding blood vessels indicating that the hands were healthy and full of strength.
The watch was also a familiar style to her. If she remembered correctly, he had paid for the oden with this watch.
I didn't expect that five years later, he was still wearing it.
Gu Nan's gaze moved to the collar of the snow-white shirt and stopped. He quickly glanced at Cui Shao's face, then lowered his head and nodded.
As she moved, the stagnant atmosphere in the living room began to flow.
A familiar and old voice sounded, "Good boy, come to grandma quickly."
It’s old lady An Ruchu.
Gu Jin took Gu Bei to sit on the sofa. The old lady held Gu Nan's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Xiao Bei, the situation was so critical at that time. It was all thanks to you. You are our Cui family's great benefactor."
Gu Bei lowered his head and whispered, "You're too kind."
The old lady quickly said, "If it weren't for you, my grandson would have drowned in the pond and no one would have known about it. You saved him, you deserve it."
After that, she said to Cui Shao, "Come and thank Xiaobei."
