I don't know what's wrong with me today?
"No! You go ahead with your business, I'm leaving now." She suddenly lost interest in shopping and didn't want to talk to him about it, so she got up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, let me go back with you." He slammed the documents in his hand shut.
As soon as Su Nianxue stepped out of the office, she saw someone walking towards her.
"You've arrived!" Tang Yu smiled slightly at her as soon as she saw her, but the smile wasn't very warm.
Su Nianxue secretly sized her up; her simple white shirt made her look elegant and poised.
She wore a black, tight-fitting bodycon skirt that accentuated her perfect waist and curves.
Her face was fair with a rosy glow, radiating youthful energy!
It's true what they say, girls really do change a lot as they grow up; she's become more and more beautiful, and she looks much better than she did a couple of years ago.
She gave a brief greeting and headed to her office.
Su Nianxue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said seemingly casually, "Your Uncle Gu said you made him some goji berries."
I thank you on his behalf!
However, your family has it tough too. Your mother's health isn't very good, so please save these things for her to help her recover.
We all know you're a grateful and good child. Don't worry about Uncle Gu; taking good care of your mother is the most important thing.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu stiffened, managing a weak smile. "Aunt Nianxue, please don't misunderstand."
I noticed that Uncle Gu had been working hard lately, and his lips were chapped, so I made him a cup of goji berry water.
If you don't like it, then I won't make it for him anymore.
"What do you mean by 'like' or 'dislike'?" Gu Yanbai had just come out of the house when he heard this question and asked it instinctively.
Tang Yu pursed her lips, about to speak.
Then Su Nianxue said, "I told her that her mother was not in good health and asked her to take the goji berries to her mother to help her recover."
"If you want some, I'll go buy you ten or eight pounds later, so you can drink your fill."
"Okay, let's go buy some and keep them at home. They'll come in handy for making soup and soaking in water." Gu Yanbai put his arm around her shoulder and walked out.
"good!"
Tang Yu, standing behind them, was completely ignored.
She stared blankly at their retreating figures, a flicker of something passing through her eyes.
She didn't turn and leave until they were far away.
In the days that followed, Su Nianxue would go to the mall whenever she had free time.
However... nothing seems out of the ordinary!
Everything is proceeding smoothly.
Time flies, and another year is coming to an end.
These days, Gu Yanbai is even busier, having to attend social events frequently, and sometimes he even comes home smelling of alcohol.
And sometimes, a long hair would grow out of his shoulder.
Just by looking at the length, you can tell it's not for the mother and daughter.
Based on her guess...
She asked calmly, "Did you take Tang Yu to the drinking party?"
"yes!
Zhou Mingjie went to the branch store, right? I originally wanted to bring Xiao Zhou along, but Tang Yu offered to take her with her.
Besides, you know where I went.
They were all old friends, and all decent people, with nothing shady going on, so I agreed!
I think it's good for her to get some exposure, so she can help me with more tasks in the future.
Wait, what do you mean by that? Something feels off to me.
"Don't try to trick me just because I've had a few drinks and my brain isn't working properly." He mumbled to her, his eyes slightly glazed.
"Go take a shower first, you reek of alcohol." She flung his hand away, took a set of clothes from the closet, and threw them at him.
"I've had too much to drink today, can you forgive me this once? Just this once?" he said with a grin, trying to bargain!
"No! No way! If you don't go now, I'm locking the door. You can sleep in your son's room later!"
"You always use this to threaten me. How many years have you been doing this? Aren't you tired of it?" He reluctantly picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom.
But less than five minutes later, she came out of the bathroom.
Su Nianxue...
"Gu Yanbai, are you sure you're wet?"
"Why don't you give me a check-up?" He walked towards her with a sly grin, his eyes gleaming.
Su Nianxue: "Don't be in a hurry, I have something to ask you!"
"Ask me anything later, I promise I'll tell you everything, okay?" While he was talking, he quickly jumped into bed.
………
By the time it was all over, she had completely forgotten about the question she wanted to ask.
The next day, she excitedly took her lunchbox to the mall.
He's been leaving early and coming home late lately, and he's been drinking a lot. She's worried his stomach won't be able to handle it.
However, I had just reached the office door.
Tang Yu was seen sobbing softly, occasionally wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
One person was beside her... offering comfort.
Upon seeing this, she felt a tightness in her chest.
Just as she was about to interrupt them, she saw Tang Yu suddenly lunge towards Gu Yanbai.
Gu Yanbai instinctively dodged, and she missed her target. She had no choice but to settle for second best and tightly grip his arm.
"Uncle Gu, can I lean on your arm for a moment, just for a moment? I miss... Dad."
"If only he were still here..." Her eyes filled with tears, threatening to fall.
The sound was melodious and mournful, like that of a pitiful, homeless young animal.
Upon hearing the word "father," Gu Yanbai felt a pang of pity and hesitated before trying to pry her hands away.
He remained stiff, but let her lean against him for a while.
Su Nianxue watched from afar, her heart sinking to the bottom.
