Chapter 537: After selling Mr. Liu, he was still counting the money. The next day, New Year’s Day, in the evening, the sun was setting.
The orange-red sunset dyed the sky into a gradient of warm tones. The afterglow slanted down on the streets of Caizhou. The asphalt road glowed with a soft golden light. The shadows of the sycamore trees on the street were stretched out long, and their leaves swayed gently in the wind.
Gu Feng was driving a black sedan, holding the steering wheel with both hands, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the leather steering wheel cover, his expression a little helpless, his eyes drifting to the rearview mirror every few seconds, staring at the movements of the three people in the back seat.
The space in the back row was not narrow. Mr. Liu sat steadily in the middle, leaning back in the chair, his silver-gray hair shimmering in the setting sun.
Gu Luo sat on his left, his right hand resting on Elder Liu's shoulder, gently pressing the acupuncture points on his shoulder and neck. His movements were gentle but methodical, and he kept saying, "Elder Liu, let me press you more."
Gu Ximan sat to the right of Old Liu, and placed her left hand on him, pounding gently. Her voice was soft and sweet, as if covered in honey. "Grandpa, you drank yesterday, and you must be tired all day. I'm not very strong, so if you feel it's not enough, tell me and I'll give you a little more strength."
Old Liu felt so relaxed after being coaxed by the two children that he leaned back in his chair, his head shaking slightly, his mouth curled up into a grin, and his eyes almost narrowed into slits.
He patted the back of Gu Luo's hand with his left hand from time to time, and then patted Gu Ximan's hand, with an expression of "a teachable child". His tone was full of pride: "You two are just sweet-talkers. But your massage skills are good, more comfortable than my nanny's."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Gu Ximan immediately restrained her strength, clamped her throat, and her voice was filled with a hint of deliberate worry. She stared at Old Liu with sparkling eyes: "Grandpa, then... what if we go to the Luo family later and Aunt Luo doesn't give you face? My brother offended Aunt Luo badly before, I'm afraid..."
Old Liu sat up straighter, patted his thigh, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry! Your grandfather, let alone in Caizhou, even if he went to the capital, those old friends would give me face when they saw me! No matter how powerful your Aunt Luo is, how could she not give face to an old man like me? Just relax, I said I would solve it for you, and I will definitely solve it!"
"Wow! Grandpa is awesome!"
Gu Ximan's eyes lit up instantly, as if she truly admired him. She made a star-shaped gesture with her hands, "I knew Grandpa was the best! With Grandpa around, any problem can definitely be solved!"
Mr. Liu was even more elated by these words. He laughed heartily and patted Gu Luo's shoulder again:
"Xiao Luo, don't worry, I will make sure to send your sisters here in a while!"
Gu Luo nodded quickly, adding a little more strength to his hands, and said respectfully: "It's all thanks to you, Mr. Liu! I will definitely compete well in the Olympics next year and win a gold medal to make you proud!"
Gu Feng was listening in front and sighed secretly, but he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. These two children made Old Liu run around in circles, and Old Liu seemed to enjoy it. It was really laughable.
He felt a lot more relieved. When Gu Luo said he wanted to ask Old Liu for help, he was still sweating. He didn't expect that this kid would come so easily.
But when he thought of Gu Luo's cold temper and the complicated relationship between Gu Luo and the Luo sisters, he couldn't help but sigh again - Old Liu is still in the dark. If he really knew the truth, who knows...
