There was a strange dead silence on the phone.
After a full minute, Gu Jinyao said, "Please give me more details."
Gu Beixian said: "He Xiaobai's only son died at the beginning of the year. Due to various reasons, the couple can no longer have children. At this time, He Xiaobai suddenly came to you, please appreciate it carefully."
Gu Jinyao's hand holding the phone gradually tightened, and suddenly he raised his hand.
With a thud, the phone was thrown to the floor.
He Xiaobai was deeply disturbed.
What does he think?
Spare tire?
My only son is dead, come and catch up.
Never show up when not needed.
Gu Jinyao slowly closed his eyes and raised his hand to hold his painful forehead.
After being silent for a long time, he opened his eyes, and a self-deprecating smile gradually escaped from the corners of his lips.
I feel like my life is a joke.
He is such a strong person, but he doesn't even know who his biological father is. Sometimes he is this, sometimes he is that.
The whirlpool of fate enveloped him, leaving him unable to choose.
Gu Jinyao gritted his teeth slightly.
After a long time, he walked to the landline, picked up the phone, and dialed the internal number to his assistant: "Zhu Chi's plum vase from the Yongzheng period, return it the same way. Tell the front desk downstairs that He Xiaobai is coming again and stop him. I don't want to see him." .”
Although the assistant was puzzled, he did as he was told.
After arranging other work, Gu Jinyao left the auction house.
The night is getting darker and the sky is filled with neon lights.
Gu Jinyao held the steering wheel and drove forward aimlessly on the road.
Suddenly I feel like I have no sense of belonging in life.
He is like a rootless duckweed floating on the vast sea of life.
I used to hate Gu Aoting for being ruthless, but now I only have disgust for He Xiaobai.
Hatred comes from having expectations for Gu Aoting. If the expectations are not met, it turns into hatred.
Disgust is not even having expectations.
Passing by a bar and looking at the people going in and out, Gu Jinyao suddenly wanted to go in and have a drink.
Pull into the parking lot, get out, and walk inside.
In the bar, the lights were strange and the men and women were hugging each other and twisting around.
The atmosphere was electric.
Gu Jinyao found a table and sat down, ordered the strongest whiskey, held the glass, and drank it slowly.
After drinking a glass, I was still feeling very confused.
Gu Jinyao called the waiter and ordered another drink.
After drinking two drinks in succession, Gu Jinyao felt dizzy and saw double images of people.
A woman in cool clothes twisted her waist and came over to strike up a conversation. She pinched her throat and asked delicately: "Sir, are you alone?"
Gu Jinyao didn't even raise his head and said indifferently: "Get off!"
"Ah, sir, you are so cruel!" the woman complained, twisted her hips and walked away.
When I was on my third drink, my phone suddenly rang.
Gu Jinyao fumbled with his fingers on the keyboard and pressed connect.
Gu Beixian's voice came from the phone, "Where are you? Why is it so noisy?"
"bar."
"which bar?"
Gu Jinyao lowered his eyes, stared at the wine glass in his hand, and said lonely: "I don't know."
"Send me your location."
Gu Jinyao sent the location via WeChat.
Half an hour later.
Gu Beixian rushed over with his bodyguards.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Jinyao surrounded by four or five women with glamorous makeup.
Those women were scantily clad and looked like spider spirits with holes in their silk threads. They asked him for his contact information with a coquettish smile.
Gu Jinyao looked indifferent and annoyed.
Gu Beixian opened his long legs and strode towards him.
When the women saw Gu Beixian, their eyes lit up and glowed faintly, like cats smelling something fishy. They huffed and surrounded him, "Handsome guy, can you add me on WeChat?"
Gu Beixian said with an indifferent expression: "I just got released from prison and I don't have a mobile phone."
After hearing this, a group of women suddenly turned pale and left in disappointment.
Gu Beixian called the waiter to pay the bill, and together with the bodyguard, he took Gu Jinyao out and helped him into the car.
I wanted to send him back to his own home, but I was afraid that he would spit out alcohol in the middle of the night and have no one to take care of him.
Gu Beixian asked: "Do you want to call Yun Jin and ask her to take care of you?"
Gu Jinyao shook his head, "No, I don't want her to see me like this."
"Okay." Gu Beixian told the driver: "Go to Riyue Bay."
Gu Jinyao leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes drooped, casting a faint shadow under his eyes.
Gu Beixian unscrewed the bottle of water and fed him a few sips.
Putting down the water, Gu Beixian patted him on the shoulder, "What's the big deal, running to drink? If I hadn't gone there in time, you would have been picked up and steamed by a woman."
Gu Jinyao didn't say anything. He felt sick in his stomach and wanted to vomit.
Return to Riyue Bay.
Gu Beixian and the bodyguard helped Gu Jinyao enter the door one by one.
Su Hua heard the noise and went downstairs.
I saw Gu Jinyao drunk.
Su Hua was startled and quickly asked: "Why are you drunk?"
Gu Jinyao raised his hands to cover his face, not wanting her to see his drunken state.
Gu Beixian helped Gu Jinyao, walked to the sofa and sat down, and said, "You don't understand a man's pain."
Su Hua thought he and Yun Jin were quarreling, "Where's Yun Jin? Do you want me to help make peace?"
Gu Jinyao shook his head: "She and I are very good, it's not a relationship issue."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Su Hua said, "I'll go upstairs to clean up a guest room. You should go to bed early."
Gu Jinyao pressed his forehead and said, "Thank you."
The room is tidied.
Gu Beixian helped Gu Jinyao upstairs, put him in front of the bed, helped him take off his shoes, and asked Su Hua to bring him hangover medicine and feed it to him.
He asked the servant to bring a basin of warm water.
Gu Beixian wet the towel and wiped Gu Jinyao's hands, face, mouth, and neck. He also gave him mouthwash to rinse his mouth with.
Gu Jinyao felt a warm current in his heart.
It was very rare for a young man to reach out from his clothes and open his mouth from food. He was busy around him.
After Su Hua and the servant left, Gu Jinyao looked at Gu Beixian with drunken eyes, "We are not related by blood, why do you still take care of me like this?"
Gu Beixian lightly hit him on the head, "Are you stupid? You and I are not related by blood, so I will have no grudges. To tell you the truth, I was very unhappy with you before and kept enduring it. If I hadn't seen Su Hua’s face, I don’t know what to do with you.”
Gu Jinyao's throat became stiff, "I finally know why Su Hua likes you."
Gu Beixian raised his eyebrows slightly, "You just know? I am full of advantages."
Gu Jinyao reluctantly tugged at the corner of his lips and said, "Yeah, if we can't be brothers, we can still be friends. It doesn't matter if we don't be brothers, I won't feel guilty. I always felt that my mother and I were , hurt Aunt Qin Shu. The better you treat me, the more guilty I will be."
"You are just too good. Only good people feel guilty. Bad people don't have such a thing at all."
Gu Jinyao raised his hand and pinched his eyes, "Don't tell A Ye and Nan Yin just yet."
"I didn't say it, not even Lao Gu. After all, it's your privacy. When you want to say it, tell them yourself."
Gu Jinyao responded, "I feel very bad and uncomfortable."
Gu Beixian threw the wet towel into the basin, leaned over and sat down next to him, helped him pull up the quilt, and asked seriously: "Do you want me to give you a loving hug?"
Gu Jinyao originally looked lonely, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He hurriedly wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, with resistance written all over his body, "No!"
Gu Beichuan was stunned, "I'm not happy yet, my hug is very precious."
"Go to sleep."
"Okay." Gu Beixian stood up, "I'm in the master bedroom next door. If you need anything, call me or the servant."
"Um."
Gu Beixian turned and left.
Walking to the door, just as he was about to pull the door handle, Gu Jinyao's voice came from behind, "Thank you, Brother Xian."
This was the first time Gu Jinyao called him "brother".
When they were brothers before, he refused to call me no matter what.
Now he screamed.
Not brothers, but better than brothers.
A strange emotion welled up in Gu Beixian's heart. He smiled silently, looked back at him and said, "You, of these people, you are the one I worry about the most. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. Don't be afraid of trouble. Who can Let me be your brother Xian."
He looks like a serious brother.
Gu Jinyao raised his lips and smiled, smiling with tears in his eyes.
