Chapter 112: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (23)
Wen Wan thought she was mentally prepared, but the moment she heard Gu Sheng's voice, she still felt guilty. After all, she was the one who had wronged Gu Sheng by leaving without a word. If she were Gu Sheng, she would probably hate herself to death.
"But he probably doesn't know it was me who called, right? After all, this number..."
System: [Rest assured, host, he absolutely cannot find anything about this number; it's simply a disconnected number.]
Wen Wan touched her heart. "I'm sleepy. I need to adjust to the time difference. Don't bother me."
After saying that, Wen Wan closed her eyes, covered herself with the blanket, and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng was having dinner with Wei Cheng and a few others. Wei Cheng had been forced to drink a lot of alcohol by Xue Liao and was acting crazy, saying, "Let me tell you, Xue Liao, you little brat, I'm your boss, can't you give me a break? You even have to scheme against me when we're playing cards."
Xue Liao: "Boss, is it my fault that you're so stupid?"
"You little brat, I'll hit you!" They chased Xue Liao around the private room, while Qin Fang and Sui Houyu didn't want to mess with these two.
Qin Fang looked at Gu Sheng beside him and asked, "Don't you think Gu Sheng has been acting a little strange ever since she answered that phone call?"
Sui Houyu: "It is a bit strange, and he doesn't seem to be in a good state, but I think it's a private matter and he doesn't want to talk about it, so let's just pretend we don't know." As a psychology expert, Sui Houyu is best at psychological analysis through a person's behavior, but there are very few exceptions, and Gu Sheng is that exception.
Hou Yu had worked with Gu Sheng for five years, but even he couldn't guarantee he could understand Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng was clearly still a young man, yet he dared to lead Mengxin Technology in developing holographic technology as soon as he came of age. Every step he took was calculated with extreme precision. Although Gu Sheng looked young and was the youngest among them, his character was more unpredictable than many of the old foxes he had met. Hou Yu was very interested in Gu Sheng, and he would become the research target he most wanted to crack.
"What did you figure out?" Qin Fang asked, while Hou Yu shook his head. "Don't try to trick me into revealing anything. Gu Sheng won't let me figure out what she doesn't want others to know."
Sui Houyu was unwilling to tell Qin Fang that Gu Sheng had been emotionally volatile just now and hadn't had time to pretend or be on guard. He had actually seen quite a few things, which made him very happy.
Gu Sheng put her phone away. "Are you finished eating? There's still a lot of work to do at the company. Since you've finished eating, go back to work."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."
Qin Fang and Sui Houyu did not stop them, probably because they couldn't have stopped them anyway. By the time Wei Cheng and Xue Liao finished their fight, Gu Sheng had already disappeared.
"Where did the big boss go?"
Qin Fang grabbed Wei Cheng by the collar, "Go back to work at the company."
Wei Cheng: "???"
"What work are you guys doing? Do you know what time it is? It's almost 10 o'clock. Now it's time for everyone to go home and sleep."
Qin Fang grabbed the man and left, while Sui Houyu grabbed Xue Liao, saying, "Let's go, President Gu has something to do, it might be something urgent, let's go home."
A flicker of interest crossed Sui Houyu's eyes, hidden behind his glasses. Xue Liao, whom he was holding, didn't have the same fierceness he showed in front of Wei Cheng. Of these people, he was most afraid of Gu Sheng, followed by Sui Houyu, that cunning fox. He had suffered losses against him countless times.
"Fine, I'll come back. I've already graduated from university. Don't keep nagging me."
Gu Sheng, who had left, was unusually emotional.
He had naturally changed his number. Almost everyone who knew him had saved his current number, but he hadn't canceled his old number. In the past five years, no one had called that number, but none of them had called her.
Five years later, Gu Sheng had an extremely keen intuition that the sudden phone call just now was from her.
The woman who abandoned him five years ago.
Liu Yayue, what exactly do you mean?
Gu Sheng couldn't sleep that night, but the number didn't call again. During the day, Gu Sheng had someone check on Liu Ya Yue's whereabouts and the phone number. They quickly got the results: Liu Ya Yue had indeed returned to China, and the number was no longer in service.
Gu Sheng's family still lives in the same neighborhood they used to rent. He bought the house there, but Grandma Gu is too old to move. Xiao Shuyun was admitted to the Broadcasting Department of University A this year and has grown up into a graceful young woman.
Liu Meiyun had come several times in the past few years, after learning about his college entrance examination results. She even wanted to take him away as well as Xiao Shuyun, but Gu Sheng refused.
Furthermore, Gu Sheng caused a lot of trouble for Lu Xiao and his son Lu Chengran. Lu Chengran was in prison last year for alleged rape and intentional assault, and Lu Xiao's life was naturally not easy either. His company had many problems, especially since he was even more unhappy to find out that the person behind the attack on the Lu family was his gambling son whom he looked down upon.
Liu Meiyun's life was naturally not easy either. Lu Xiao kept women outside and even brought his illegitimate child home. But Liu Meiyun could only endure it. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she would call Gu Sheng and cry, saying that she was wrong and that she didn't want to abandon them. She said that she just wanted to hook up with his successful son. Gu Sheng said that as long as Liu Meiyun divorced Lu Xiao, he would take care of her in her old age and see her off in death. But Liu Meiyun was unwilling. After that, Gu Sheng ignored her. It was a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive. He wasn't a saint.
This time, his younger sister didn't enter the Lu family, nor did she experience those things, and his grandmother's health was relatively stable. Gu Sheng was actually satisfied. He had been reborn, and all he wanted was this result.
Before Gu Sheng left, Grandma Gu instructed him, "My son, work is important, but your health is also important. Don't overwork yourself."
"Okay, Grandma." Then she said to the nanny she had hired to take care of her grandma, "Aunt Chen, please take good care of my grandma. The weather is nice today. If Grandma is bored, you can push her downstairs to get some sun."
Aunt Chen: "Okay, Mr. Gu."
As Gu Sheng left home, the driver asked, "Is Mr. Gu going to the company?"
"Hmm." After a two-second pause, she continued, "I'll take Liyuan Road as a detour to get to the company."
The driver was a little confused. Why take a detour? But he was just a driver; he would drive however his boss told him to.
As Liyuan Road passed by the Liu family's residential area, Gu Sheng suddenly said at the entrance of the area, "Stop for a moment."
The driver pulled over and watched the boss look around the neighborhood for a full five minutes before telling him to drive back to the company.
driver:"???"
What does this boss mean? Why go through all this trouble just to catch a glimpse of Liyuan Residential Area? And if he's already seen it, why not go inside?
This boss's thoughts are really hard to guess.
