Chapter 11 Even Dogs Don't Eat

After cooking and arranging the food, Lin Du nodded with self-satisfaction.

"Mr. Gu, the meal is ready. Please enjoy your meal."

Gu Linchi threw away the book in his hand and looked at the simple three dishes and one soup, frowning slightly.

Lin Du nervously glanced at Gu Anshi's reaction. Was he dissatisfied?

Gu Nichi sat down: "That's all?"

"No... don't like it?"

“Even dogs won’t eat it!” Gu Niechi stood up and sat back on the sofa.

Lin Du stood there at a loss, trying to find a way to make up for the situation.

This is a meal that costs NT$100,000. We can’t just waste it like this.

"Mr. Gu, is it okay for me to make you a new one?" She asked carefully, fearing that she would touch Gu's scalp.

"Never mind. I'm full."

Lin Du pinched his fingers helplessly, feeling so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Gu Jinchi snorted coldly. He felt annoyed when he saw Lin Du pinching his fingers.

In the past, he always pinched his fingers when he was at a loss. This was his most habitual action.

To be honest, every time I see him, I feel inexplicably irritated and always want to bully him severely.

Lin Du mustered up his courage and walked up to Gu Yanchi: "Mr. Gu, does the 100,000 yuan still count?"

"Oh! I didn't even ask you to pay for the ingredients, and you still have the nerve to negotiate with me?" Gu Ni Chi raised the corner of his mouth with disdain, leaned on the sofa with his arms spread out, and looked at Lin Du with his legs crossed.

Sighing silently, Lin Du knew that he was asking for trouble, but that was 100,000 yuan! How much was his dignity worth?

"Then I won't disturb your rest for now."

"Stop! Did I let you go? Do you have a pig brain? How many times do I have to say this before you remember it?" Gu Nichi was instantly furious.

Lin Du lowered his head: "I am not."

"Come here and sit down." Gu Yinchi said coldly.

Lin Du looked at Gu Xichi warily, then walked over carefully and sat down.

"If you didn't get to eat, then just chat with me. As long as I'm happy, the 100,000 will still count."

Lin Du suddenly raised his eyes, unable to conceal his happiness. He still had a chance to ask: "What do you want to talk about?"

"How old is Mr. Lin this year?"

When he heard that they were talking about himself, Lin Du immediately became alert.

He was 17 when he met Gu Xinchi. Ten years later, he is already 27.

He didn't understand why Gu Xinchi suddenly asked this, but he was very nervous: "I'm going to be 30 soon."

The faint smile between Gu Yanchi's gentle brows was really frightening: "Mr. Lin, since you don't want to chat, please go back."

"I'm 29!" Lin Du said casually, deliberately lying about his age.

Gu Ni Chijian raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes: "Mr. Lin doesn't look like that. He looks more like a man in his early twenties."

"Really?" Lin Du smiled guiltily.

"How does Mr. Lin take care of his skin? He is exposed to the sun every day and his skin is still so good and glowing white."

"No, maybe it's innate."

"Mr. Lin is quite honest." Gu Yanchi poured another glass of red wine and motioned to Lin Du, "Would you like to drink?"

Lin Du shook his head.

"You're not used to it, are you?" Gu Yanchi took a sip. "What a pity! This is a million-dollar bottle of red wine, specially shipped from abroad."

One million!

Lin Du's eyes widened in shock. One million is just a small sum?

He couldn't understand it, but he acknowledged its existence.

After all, the world of rich people is not something that a poor person like him can understand.

"Mr. Lin, if I say that one drink is worth 100,000, will you drink it?" Gu Nichi shook the wine glass playfully, watching the purple-red liquid swaying in the glassware.

Lin Du was startled, his Adam's apple was dry, and his heart was moved.

Gu Renchi raised the corner of his mouth in disdain. He was indeed a money-grubber, just like his mother, so greedy that it made people sick.

"Mr. Gu, are you going to keep your word?" Lin Du seemed to have made a great decision. Although his voice was trembling, he looked determined.

"nature."

Lin Du let out a deep breath of anger that had been pent up in his chest, picked up the red wine, poured it into the empty glass beside him, and drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.

He drank too much and was choked.

He covered his mouth and coughed violently, his whole body shaking.

My throat was burning and my eyes were filled with tears.

Gu Niechi looked at Lin Du's ugly face with contempt, and was in a good mood: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, you have earned another 100,000!"

Wiping away the tears, Lin Du forced a smile with great difficulty.

Gu Yanchi narrowed his eyes slightly, and held his brow with his slender fingers. His expression could not be seen clearly: "Where is Mr. Lin from?"

Lin Du, who was full of joy just now, suddenly froze in place, shaking uncontrollably all over.

He didn't expect Gu Yinchi to ask this suddenly, and he was completely confused.

He didn't dare look at Gu Yanchi, for fear that he would see his embarrassment.

Did Gu Xinchi recognize him? Lin Du kept asking himself.

"Is this question difficult to answer?" Gu Yinchi sneered.

"No... no." Lin Du pinched his legs fiercely with his hands on his knees, trying to suppress his trembling voice, "I'm from Beichuan."

"Oh?" Gu Yanchi uttered a word lightly, but it was like a sharp knife cutting Lin Du's body, "Is your hometown also Beichuan?"

Lin Du nodded dully, and the voice came out of his throat a little late: "Yes!"

Gu Shichi's silence made Lin Du even more nervous.

He was restless and just wanted to get home as soon as possible. He felt like he could no longer hold back.

"Mr. Gu, if there is nothing else..."

"Where's your girlfriend?"

Lin Du was afraid of exposing his true colors, and at this moment, his heart was hanging in the air: "What?"

"Is your girlfriend also from Beichuan?"

"This is my private matter." Lin Du's knees were almost scratched by himself, but he was still trying hard.

An undercurrent surged in Gu Pianchi's bottomless eyes. The humiliation ten years ago and the lies today made Gu Pianchi feel resentful.

He stood up and walked upstairs, but stopped halfway and did not look back: "You can pack up the food on the table and take it back for your poor girlfriend."

Lin Du frowned, feeling embarrassed by the naked humiliation. "No need."

Seeing Gu Yanchi about to go upstairs, Lin Du gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Gu, does the 100,000 yuan for chatting count?"

Gu Niechi turned his body to the side, a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put his hands behind his back and looked down at Lin Du, "Forget it."

"Thank you." Lin Du felt uncomfortable being stared at by Gu Niechi. He had to leave here quickly, otherwise he would suffocate. "Sorry for disturbing Mr. Gu."

He let out a long breath. Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but Lin Du felt hot all over and his head was dizzy.

He shook his head and patted it uncomfortably.

Gu Nichi leaned on the armrest and kindly reminded: "Mr. Lin can't drive after drinking, so you can only push your beloved car back."

Lin Du smiled awkwardly: "Thanks for the reminder."

"Throw away the things on the table and close the door." Gu Yinchi spoke with a flick of his finger.

Lin Du felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he could not stay any longer.
