Wu Jing's face was visibly pale.
But Zhou Chunhua felt incredibly satisfied with this scene.
"You...you think I'm a three-year-old? Someone who can be easily scared?"
Gu Yao raised the corners of his mouth: "Then let's see how it goes."
After saying that, Gu Yao told Zhang Bo and Zhang Xiaonuan to take the child and leave with them.
Wu Jing stared intently at Zhang Bo, but Zhang Bo didn't even glance at her before pulling Zhang Xiaonuan into Wen Yu's car.
Zhou Chunhua followed Gu Yao and got into the passenger seat.
Watching Wu Jing see them off, their two cars drove out of Bibo Garden one after the other.
“They can’t stay here; they have nowhere else to go,” Zhou Chunhua couldn’t help but say.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wen Yu called.
Gu Yao's phone automatically connected to the car.
He pressed the answer button and heard Wen Yu say, "Teacher Gu, can I arrange for them to stay with me?"
Gu Yaoyang raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay."
After the call ended, Wen Yu's car drove off at the fork in the road.
Gu Yao then drove towards home.
Zhou Chunhua was also full of doubt when she heard that Wen Yu had offered to take in Zhang Xiaonuan's family.
Looking at Gu Yao again, Gu Yao had a half-smile on his face.
Perhaps sensing her doubt, Gu Yao took the initiative to say, "You can absolutely rest assured staying with Wen Yu."
"But... what should we do next?"
Gu Yao looked at her and said mysteriously, "Don't worry, Wen Yu can handle that little thing himself. Is there anything you particularly want to eat today?"
"Huh?" Zhou Chunhua didn't react.
"If there's anything you particularly want to eat, just tell me, and I'll go with you."
Coming to her senses, Zhou Chunhua quickly shook her head: "Let's eat at home. There's still plenty of time."
Gu Yao hummed in agreement and turned away from her.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Gu Yao dropped her off at the elevator entrance and told her to wait there while he went to find a parking space.
Zhou Chunhua didn't think much of it and got off the bus, then stood there obediently waiting.
Gu Yao arrived shortly after.
He had the same smile on his face as usual.
At that moment, something else flashed through Zhou Chunhua's mind...
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yao's voice pulled her wandering thoughts back.
"Gu Yao...we...have we known each other before?"
Gu Yao didn't speak. A strange expression flashed across his face before he suddenly looked down, took out his glasses from his bag, and put them on.
“I think we…” Zhou Chunhua hadn’t finished speaking when her phone suddenly rang.
It was Juliana calling.
She quickly pressed the call button, and all she heard was Juliana's agonizing wails on the other end.
"Huahua, I have to work overtime again today and can't come home for dinner." After saying that, just like before, she launched into another rant about the client.
Zhou Chunhua listened quietly, as was her habit.
Only after Juliana finished venting did she say some comforting and reassuring words, and then the two hung up the phone.
Only then did she notice that Gu Yao was already washing vegetables in the kitchen.
She quickly put down her phone, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen.
"Is she not coming home for dinner again today?" Gu Yao suddenly asked her.
"Yes. They said the client asked her to come over to discuss business again."
At this point, she glanced at Gu Yao, and just as she was about to continue the previous topic, she heard Gu Yao say, "Let's pick up Zhang Bo tomorrow and go see that guy named Lu Ming."
When this was mentioned, Zhou Chunhua's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed.
But after saying that, she couldn't help but worry and ask, "What about Wu Jing's situation..."
"Don't worry, Wenyu can handle this little thing himself."
As Gu Yao spoke, he handed her the washed vegetables.
"I'll call Wenyu and arrange a time to pick up Zhang Bo tomorrow."
After saying that, he left the kitchen.
Zhou Chunhua looked at the vegetables in her hand, then turned to look at Gu Yao.
How strange, she felt that Gu Yao seemed to be deliberately avoiding the question from earlier.
Afterwards, while cooking, she tried hard to recall Gu Yao's face when he wasn't wearing his glasses.
But even after going through almost all her memories, she couldn't find anyone who resembled that face.
How could I possibly forget someone so outstanding if I've been around them since I was a child?
In the end, Zhou Chunhua concluded that she had overthought things.
That evening, Zhou Chunhua dialed Lao Chen's number before going to bed, as usual.
However, when she dialed the number, the answer was still that the phone was switched off.
She couldn't help but worry that Old Chen might have run into some trouble.
I checked the group chat, but there was still no information about Lao Chen.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom across the hall, Gu Yao's slender fingers gently stroked a stack of yellowed envelopes.
On the envelope, the sender's name was clearly written as Zhou Chunhua.
Gu Yao closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips, as if he were fast asleep in a sweet dream.
His joy stemmed solely from the fact that she seemed to have remembered him...
Early the next morning.
Zhou Chunhua met Zhang Bo as agreed.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Bo thanked her and Gu Yao.
It turned out that Wu Jing had agreed to a divorce with him.
Zhou Chunhua looked at Gu Yao in surprise, but Gu Yao responded with an expression that said, "See, I was right."
"That's good. You know about Zhang Xiaonuan's situation, right?" Gu Yao said.
Zhang Bo nodded: "I know. I had another drug craving last night, but luckily Wenyu was there."
“You’ve done everything for her, so she can definitely help you and Lulu overcome your addiction.” Zhou Chunhua patted Zhang Bo on the shoulder.
After that, they remained silent the rest of the way.
On the way, Zhang Bo called Lu Ming and arranged a meeting place.
They drove for almost three hours before arriving at the agreed-upon location.
An inconspicuous foot massage parlor in Huishui County.
Upon entering, Zhang Bo told the receptionist that he was there to see Lu Ming.
After making a phone call, the receptionist led them to the door of an office on the top floor and then left.
Zhang Bo stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A deep, resonant voice responded from inside: "Please come in."
Pushing open the door, you are greeted by a bright and luxurious room.
An entire wall of antique shelves is filled with all sorts of items.
It looks like it's quite valuable.
The extravagantly designed crystal chandelier on the ceiling shimmered with a light resembling that of diamonds.
On the other wall, there are many calligraphy and paintings.
A bunch of terracotta warriors were standing in the corner...
Well, all I can say is that this is the ultimate eclectic style.
Everything here looks good on its own. But when put together, it just looks mismatched and incongruous.
"Long time no see, Station Master Zhang."
The voice was followed by a man wearing a brightly colored floral shirt underneath a well-tailored suit.
A slicked-back Hong Kong-style hairstyle, paired with a thick gold chain around the neck, a tattoo faintly visible on the neck, and a forearm covered in colorful patterns.
Anyway, he doesn't look like a decent person at all.
The man took the cigarette out of his mouth and stared intently at her...
