After accepting the drink, Jiang Hua still felt a little uncomfortable, wondering why she was suddenly given a drink. However, after looking at the photos on the wall, Jiang Hua chose to believe.
"Thank you so much. It's too kind of you to bring it to me. Actually, you didn't have to give me the drink." Jiang Hua didn't refuse because it was the waiter's kindness.
Just as I was about to leave, the waiter made another request, "Excuse me, but there's something else I need to trouble you with. Every customer takes a photo here as a souvenir, so I'd like to take one for you too, is that alright?"
After hearing the waiter's request, Jiang Hua thought about it and realized she didn't have anything else to do, so she agreed. She then drank a few sips of her beverage and took a picture to commemorate the occasion.
"Thank you so much for your cooperation. If you are satisfied with the service here, please feel free to come again next time. We also welcome your valuable feedback." The staff member saw Jiang Hua off, and Jiang Hua felt that the service here was truly top-notch, which made her feel much better.
Jiang Hua was walking along the road when she reached the underground parking lot of the mall. She felt unwell, her head was spinning, and she staggered a couple of steps. She quickly leaned against the wall for support and muttered to herself.
"What's wrong with me? Is it because my blood sugar is too low? Or..." Jiang Hua hadn't finished thinking when she fainted on the ground, and there was no one around.
Soon, several men in black appeared. They seemed to have planned this in advance and were waiting for Jiang Hua. They used a strip of cloth to blindfold Jiang Hua and then took her away.
Gu Yiming was unaware of this, and neither was the nanny.
That evening, Gu Yiming originally intended to leave the company, but at the crucial moment, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly called out to him, and Gu Yiming stopped in his tracks.
"Wait a minute, I have a request, can you grant it?" Gu Yiming had only stopped for a minute when Xu Xiaoxiao ran up to him, still slightly out of breath.
After calming his breathing, Xu Mo brought up the matter again with Gu Yiming, "Can I ask you out for dinner tonight? I'm about to go to Southeast Asia to develop my business, so I'd like to treat you to a drink before I leave, as a way of giving back for the bracelet you gave my sister last time."
Gu Yiming was focused on going home because he had promised Jiang Hua that he would always make time to spend with her, regardless of whether she listened or not. However, looking at Xu Mo's expectant eyes, Gu Yiming chose Xu Xiaoxiao instead.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xu Mo ordered first, but since it was a pre-booked table, there was no rush.
Xu Mo took the lead, downing his drink in one gulp and raising his glass to Gu Yiming, saying, "I'm really glad you could come and drink with me this time. Also, I don't know how long I'll be gone, and my sister can't be left unattended, so you're the only one I can think of."
Gu Yiming did not reply immediately, but listened attentively to Xu Mo's words. After hearing Xu Mo's words, Gu Yiming understood that Xu Mo wanted to entrust Xu Xiaoxiao to him.
After thinking it over, considering her usual friendship with Xu Mo, she didn't refuse either of them. "Then you can go to Southeast Asia to do business with peace of mind. Of course, I wish you success in advance. As for your sister, I will take care of her."
Xu Mo was overjoyed to see that Gu Yiming had actually agreed to take care of his sister. It was a relief to him. He then talked with Gu Yiming.
“This way I won’t have any worries. You know, over the years, the thing I’ve always been most worried about is my sister. Now that you’re temporarily taking care of her, I trust you completely. This way, I can go to Southeast Asia with peace of mind.” At this moment, Xu Mo’s tone was noticeably more relaxed, without any sense of repression or excessive psychological pressure.
Gu Yiming felt that Xu Mo didn't need to pull him out for drinks and then explain this matter to him. In fact, as long as he went to Southeast Asia, he would naturally take care of Xu Xiaoxiao at the company.
Seeing how much he cared about Xu Xiaoxiao, Gu Yiming couldn't help but reminisce, "Since we were little, you've always cared about your sister the most. Whenever your sister cried or made a fuss, you would immediately stop doing anything else and only want to go home and be with her. Even now, you haven't changed at all."
Xu Mo accepted Gu Yiming's words calmly and didn't care. He was even proud of it, feeling that Gu Yiming was the person who understood him best. After being childhood friends for so many years, Gu Yiming naturally knew everything about him.
"You didn't already have a rough idea of what was going on when I first dragged you here for drinks, and then you kept it from me all this time, did you?" Xu Mo thought for a moment, feeling that Gu Yiming was wise enough to think of this, while he himself only realized it now.
Looking at his surroundings, Gu Yiming didn't answer Xu Mo immediately, but he felt that what Xu Mo said made sense, so he slowly nodded without saying anything more.
To put Xu Mo's mind at ease, Gu Yiming also picked up his glass and drank with Xu Mo. "Actually, you don't need to worry about this at all. You know, as long as you go to Southeast Asia, I will help you take care of your sister without you even having to ask. I know you are a complete sister-lover, and you are also my childhood friend. How could I not take care of your sister?"
The two of them thoroughly enjoyed their drinks, and Xu Mo was also very happy. He felt that being able to have such a good drink with Gu Yiming before leaving was quite nice.
Seeing that his worries were completely resolved, Xu Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Gu Yiming seemed to have drunk a bit too much and said to Xu Mo, "You drink here first, I'm going to the restroom, we'll continue drinking when I come back."
Xu Mo now readily agrees to whatever Gu Yiming says, since Gu Yiming has agreed to take care of his sister.
"Okay, go ahead. It's on the left, you should be able to find it. I'll wait for you here, and we'll continue drinking when you come back." Watching Gu Yiming's departing figure, Xu Mo was overjoyed. He realized that no matter who tried to persuade him, even if he already knew the answer, he still couldn't shake off his worries about the matter he had been concerned about.
Now he could finally relax. Unable to control himself, Xu Mo simply poured himself a drink and started drinking, no longer waiting for Gu Yiming. He thought it wouldn't be too late to drink together when Gu Yiming arrived. But he couldn't hide the joy in his heart. Just as Gu Yiming said, he was truly bound to a younger sister for the rest of his life.
