After the two finished their meal, it was already quite late.
As soon as he stepped out of the Sichuan restaurant, Gu Jueye's phone kept ringing. He took out his phone, glanced at it, and then walked aside to answer the call.
After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, his expression immediately turned cold.
"I'll go back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jueye looked up at the girl standing by the roadside.
The dim light cast a hazy shadow over her figure. Her delicate face was slightly lowered, and she was idly kicking at pebbles on the roadside. Her neck was slightly bent, as graceful as a swan playing in the water. A strand of hair fell from the back of her neck to her collarbone, carrying a touch of girlish charm, yet also an innocent allure that captivated the eye.
After a brief moment of distraction, Gu Jueye walked to her side.
"I'm going back now. Take care of yourself here."
Bai Qianmo felt a little embarrassed by his intense gaze and turned her face away, pretending to look at the cars passing by on the road.
"Yes, the scenes here will be over in just a few takes."
After saying this, Bai Qianmo realized that she seemed to be telling him about her own itinerary.
When did she start saying things like that on her own initiative?
Gu Jueye chuckled lightly: "Call me when it's over, and I'll come pick you up."
"No need, I can take a taxi back..."
Gu Jueye glanced at her but didn't say anything. The phone rang again, and shortly after he answered, a black car slowly drove up.
Before getting into the car, he suddenly turned to look at her and said, "Call me."
Bai Qianmo nodded subconsciously.
After watching Gu Jueye leave, Bai Qianmo stood alone on the side of the road. A gust of cold wind blew by, and she suddenly came to her senses.
He told her to call him.
She actually agreed?
Forehead……
Bai Qianmo, your IQ has been seriously affected by the allure of beauty lately, to the point of being negative.
We returned to the hotel arranged by the film crew.
Just as Bai Qianmo was about to open the door, a series of cries and arguments came from around the corner of the corridor.
"Weiwei, I'm begging you, please save your dad. He's in the hospital right now, and the doctor said if we don't pay the outstanding hospital fees soon, they'll kick him out. Are you really going to just watch your dad die?"
“Weiwei, I know you have harbored deep resentment towards me and your father over the years, but as the saying goes, even broken bones are still connected by tendons. No matter what, we are still family, bound by blood.”
The speaker was a middle-aged woman who spoke broken Mandarin; her accent didn't sound like that of someone from the north.
When Bai Qianmo walked over, a large crowd had already gathered in front of her.
This four-star hotel had already been booked by the film crew, so the people watching were all from the film crew.
In the center of the crowd, a simply dressed woman knelt on the ground, clutching the hem of a young girl's skirt tightly with both hands, looking up and weeping bitterly.
Listening to what she just said, one feels quite sorry for her.
"Xia Wei, she is still your mother. How can you let her kneel here forever?"
"That's right. I never expected you to be so unfilial. Your father is seriously ill, and you didn't even care. Your mother had to come and tell you herself. It's really too much."
The girl being accused stood motionless, her gaze slightly lowered, her clear eyes devoid of any emotion.
"You knelt before me hoping for this outcome? Congratulations, you got what you wanted." The girl curled her lips into a sarcastic smile.
Seeing her like this, the surrounding accusations became even more indignant.
"This is outrageous, Auntie. Please get up. We don't need a daughter like this."
"Exactly, everyone says that raising children is for old age security, but nowadays many young people have become extremely selfish. They are spoiled by their parents from childhood, and when they grow up and their parents get old, they heartlessly abandon them. Such people are not even as good as animals."
The middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground cried even harder, clutching the girl's skirt tightly with one hand.
“Weiwei, Mom doesn’t want to embarrass you, but we have no other choice. Your father urgently needs the money for the surgery. If we don’t bring the money back soon, he will really die.”
The girl didn't care about the accusations from those around her; she gave a cold laugh and looked at the woman.
"Just two weeks ago, I transferred my only 50,000 yuan to you. It's far from enough for my dad's surgery, but it should be enough for hospitalization and medical expenses, right?"
A flicker of panic flashed across the woman's eyes.
The girl's face was so cold it was chilling.
"Did you not take that money to the hospital at all? Did you give it to your gambling-addicted son?"
As soon as the girl said that, the onlookers who had been so righteous immediately fell silent.
It's true what they say, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. I was just berating the girl for ages, and this is what happened.
Seeing that the girl had revealed her secrets, the woman hurriedly cried and begged for forgiveness.
“Weiwei, Weiwei, I have no choice. Your brother is heavily in debt. The debt collectors have come to our door and said they would cut off your brother’s hand if we don’t pay it back.”
Xia Wei scoffed, "What era are we living in? If debt collectors dared to do this, they would have been in jail by now. Don't you understand? This is just a show put on for you by your precious son."
"Also, I'm broke. It's no use you coming to me. I only have a little over a thousand yuan on me. If you need it, you can have it all."
After saying that, Xia Wei took out more than a thousand yuan in cash from her bag and stuffed it into the woman's hand.
The woman glanced down, then her brow furrowed even more.
