Chapter 51 You May Never Be Able to Pay It Back in Your Life
[Gu Chengye: I’ll be back tomorrow. ]
Qin Yu had already finished his shower when he saw the message. He had just trained at the club for more than three hours and was still a little tired, but now he was completely awake.
He did not reply to Gu Chengye's message immediately. After putting his phone on the bedside table to charge, he took out an English 53 textbook from the drawer under the wardrobe, opened the first page and started reading.
It was not until the early morning that Qin Yu closed the book, picked up his phone and replied: "Busy." ]
It is impossible for him to go back to the Gu family. He had to do so before, but now he is unwilling to do so.
What Qin Yu didn’t expect was that Gu Chengye didn’t give up: “Send me the location, I’ll come to find you.” ]
Qin Yu didn't really want to see Gu Chengye, but the circumstances today were special, so he hesitated for a while and finally gave the address.
[. : Qingchi Road, Beicheng District. ]
After reporting, Qin Yu couldn't help but frowned because Gu Chengye didn't say the time.
The Gu family has been in business for three generations, but because Gu Chengye's father passed away too early, the Gu Group had to be temporarily handed over to his uncle. It was not until Gu Chengye graduated from university that he began to take over the Gu Group's corporate business.
Also because he was too young and lacked experience, Gu Chengye was often busy until late at night. It was only this year that he was able to go to get off work normally.
Even so, Gu Chengye is busy 360 days out of 365 days a year. How could he have time to come here when he has to work during the day?
Sure enough, one minute later Qin Yu received another message from Gu Chengye: "Wait for me half an hour. ]
Qin Yu: “…”
Half an hour later, Qin Yu arrived downstairs of the rental house and looked at the person who got out of the black private car in surprise.
"Do you live here?" After Gu Chengye and Qin Yu looked at each other, he frowned and looked at the crowded and noisy streets around him.
Qin Yu knew that Young Master Gu was used to a life of luxury, and even the place he lived in had to be at least a five-star hotel. Naturally, he would look down on this ordinary B&B.
"What do you want from me?" Qin Yu asked in a distant tone, his whole body exuding a hint of indifference.
Gu Chengye looked back at Qin Yu calmly: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, the anniversary of your mother and my father's death. Can't I come to see you?"
Qin Yu thought that Gu Chengye came to him specifically for this matter, but when he heard Gu Chengye say this with his own ears, his blood couldn't help but freeze.
The date when his father got drunk and killed his mother and Gu Chengye's father was the Mid-Autumn Festival. It should have been a day for family reunion, but ironically, the family was broken up and everyone died. Later, whenever he saw the word "Mid-Autumn Festival" on the calendar, he could not help but feel a chill.
"Now you see it?" Qin Yu looked at Gu Chengye coldly, "I feel bad, do you feel better too?"
Putting aside the hatred, both of them lost a loved one, so who could feel better?
Gu Chengye narrowed his eyes: "Qin Yu, don't forget, you are only ninety-nine years old."
In fact, Gu Chengye himself didn't know why he had to come to North City. He had to start another busy day in more than six hours.
But if he didn't come, he would feel as if his heart and lungs were hollowed out, and even breathing would feel heavy.
Maybe he couldn't forget the younger brother who always followed him because he was afraid of being abandoned.
"It's less than five months until I turn 100." Qin Yu pursed his lips, increasingly unable to see through Gu Chengye. "You came here just to say this?"
Gu Chengye looked at Qin Yu in front of him, who was giving off an aura of "keep away from strangers". He looked a little dazed, and the frost in his cold eyes broke apart one by one, melting into water and dissolving in blood.
When did Qin Yu start wanting to avoid him, and why did he move out now?
Did he start beating Qin Yu with a belt when he got angry?
Did it start when he watched his mother vent her hatred for Qin Yu's parents on Qin Yu without doing anything?
Or did he block all his efforts at the last moment when Qin Yu was risking his future and studying hard?
In short, the person in front of him is no longer someone who needs his protection to survive.
"I came here just to make sure you have the ability to survive. After all, no one in the Qin family wants you to go back." Gu Chengye said slowly, "I can support you, but I will not and cannot give you any chance to turn things around and become a human being."
After hearing this, Qin Yu understood what Gu Chengye meant. He was just pretending to be mean because he was worried about him having to observe mourning again.
In fact, he could understand Gu Chengye. If he were to support the murderer of his father and allow him the opportunity to break out of the cage and turn the tables, he probably wouldn't be willing to do that.
"No, I know what to do." Qin Yu said, "Your mother gave me a contract, which means that as long as I pay off the one million yuan in child support, we can be even."
Gu Chengye curled his lips in disdain when he heard Qin Yu's words, and sneered: "Maybe I gave you too much living expenses, which made you self-righteous. Just ask anyone how long it takes to earn one million. In fact, you may not be able to pay it back in your lifetime."
"You don't need to worry about that." Qin Yu laughed, but this time his laugh was not as cold as before. When Gu Chengye was about to continue to retort him, he shouted, "Brother."
At this moment, thousands of words were stuck in his throat with the word "brother", and a rare look of surprise appeared on Gu Chengye's usually calm face.
"It's getting late, go back to sleep." Qin Yu chuckled again, "Even if tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, you should still go to work, right?"
Gu Chengye stood there stiffly. By the time he reacted, Qin Yu had already turned around and went upstairs.
People say the autumn wind is bleak, but Gu Chengye actually felt a bit of gentleness in it.
——
Qin Yu returned to the rental house and sat down at his desk again. On the table was still the book Wu San, which he had flipped through more than twenty pages. For the first time, he felt that the Mid-Autumn Festival was not so difficult to endure.
A few minutes later, he sent a message to the club owner, saying that he would take half a day off tomorrow.
The club owner almost responded to his every request and agreed without any hesitation.
Qin Yu put away his phone and walked into the living room.
The floor-to-ceiling windows outside the rental house's living room were very large. After opening the curtains, he could see the night view of the city, including the path where he and Gu Chengye had just met.
It was just because there was only one light on the path that barely allowed people to see the road conditions clearly, and the view was partially blocked by the building opposite, so the black private car and Gu Chengye could not be seen.
But somehow Qin Yu felt that Gu Chengye had not left yet. He had been standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out with a cold expression.
There are not many vehicles on the city streets in the early morning, and many people will increase their speed, with one car after another speeding past your sight.
As the number of cars passed by the street, a faint light suddenly appeared on the dim path, and then a black private car appeared on the city street and drove away into the distance.
Qin Yu closed his eyes and waited until his heart calmed down before pulling the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
