Knowing his boss's temperament, Xiao Mo naturally followed his orders.
But until Shi Ye was sent home, Shi Ye did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he sat in the car and said:
"Don't drive in yet, just wait at the doorway. Wait ten minutes. If Gu Nian doesn't come home, just go back the way you came."
Xiao Mo blinked and nodded quickly.
This is the boss!
I knew he wouldn't leave Miss Gu alone.
Ten minutes is just right.
It was the time when Gu Nian came in from the front door or the back door of the community and walked home.
If Gu Nian can get home safely within ten minutes, it means that she can resolve the situation on her own.
If there was still no sign of Gu Nian within ten minutes, then Shi Ye would naturally acquiesce that she couldn't handle it on her own, so at that time he would ask Xiao Mo to rush out immediately.
However, relying on Shi Ye's understanding of Gu Nian, this girl should be more inclined to solve her dilemma on her own.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned her head just now and refused the approach of Shi Ye's car.
Therefore, Xiao Mo also knew in his heart that Shi Ye was once again protecting Miss Gu's dignity and dignity.
Regardless of the reason why Gu Nian got into the predicament just now, in the end it was her private matter.
As far as the content of their contract is concerned, they have no right to interfere with the private sphere.
In terms of the morality of a person's life, if the other person does not want to ask for help from others, it means that at that time, the other person's willingness to maintain his own dignity is even greater than his need for help.
***
Ten minutes would seem so long if you waited deliberately.
Shi Ye felt like he had been waiting for a long time, because his eyes kept staring at the timetable in front of the car.
Follow the numbers above and count them one by one.
9 minutes and 59 seconds.
10 points!
Shi Ye finally finished counting 600 numbers, but still didn't see Gu Nian coming back.
So Shi Ye unconsciously clenched his fists and opened his mouth to give instructions to Xiao Mo.
"Xiao Mo, open..."
However, before the second word was spoken, he saw Gu Nian walking dejectedly down the path in front of his house.
Because she kept her head down, she didn't notice the car parked on the side of the road, nor did she notice that Shi Ye had been waiting for her on the side of the road.
Xiao Mo looked at Gu Nian happily, then turned his head and said to his boss quickly:
"Boss, it's Miss Gu! She's back!"
And at this moment, Xiao Mo also saw Shi Ye looking relieved.
But soon, Shi Ye calmed down his emotions and returned to his calm state.
"Yeah. Got it, you can get off work first!"
After saying that, Shi Ye opened the car door and walked to his villa.
...
Every time Gu Nian took a step, he felt that his body weighed a thousand pounds.
It's usually only ten minutes away, but today it seems like we've walked a long way.
How did she get all the way here?
It was clear that he had been stranded on the roadside by his father just now.
Gu Qiangsheng's shameless look and tone of asking for money were still lingering in front of Gu Nian's eyes.
"Hey, I'm talking about my daughter!" Gu Qiangsheng looked around and saw that he was surrounded by some claustrophobic high-end communities.
He naturally knew that the people living nearby must be rich or noble, and it really surprised him that his daughter appeared in such a place.
"How come you are in a place like this?"
Gu Qiangsheng inquired about everything around him maliciously, and then glanced at his daughter, who was dressed in simple clothes. It was obvious that Gu Nian was completely inconsistent with the temperament here.
Or, Gu Nian must have found some kind of part-time job in a rich man's house.
Either...
Gu Qiangsheng suddenly had a more dirty idea.
"Were you... raped by a rich man...?"
Gu Nian felt sick to his stomach when he heard his own father imagining him like this.
Of course she knew what her father meant by what he didn't finish.
The anger almost overflowed the Tianling Cap, forcing Gu Nian to slap his father hard.
This slap knocked Gu Qiangsheng straight into confusion.
He was also fifty years old, and he didn't expect that one day he would be slapped by his own daughter.
Feeling ashamed and angry, Gu Qiangsheng also raised his hand, preparing to hit Gu Nian.
Gu Nian had no intention of evading, but kept staring at Gu Qiangsheng fiercely and straight.
There is a sense of wanting to die together.
Maybe he was at fault after all, and Gu Qiangsheng also realized that he shouldn't say such insulting conjecture to his daughter.
After all, if you really offended your daughter, how could you ask her for money?
Therefore, the raised hand had to remain frozen in mid-air.
Then it fell again.
Then he pretended to be indifferent and pretended to apologize to Gu Nian.
"Oh, Nian Nian! It's Dad's fault! Dad said the wrong thing! Dad is sorry for you!"
Listening to her father's frivolous and qualityless apology, Gu Nian felt sad in her heart. She could never forgive her father.
"I know why you came to me. It's just one word, money! Right?" Gu Nian said it very straightforwardly.
Over the years, when her father found her, he would only do it for this one thing.
And when creditors come to your door, they naturally do it for the same thing.
Therefore, in recent years, as long as it is related to his father Gu Qiangsheng, it is nothing more than one word -
money.
When Gu Qiangsheng heard that Gu Nian had made his purpose clear, he simply stopped laughing and just nodded obsequiously.
"I only have five hundred yuan with me, which I earned from working this afternoon. I don't have any more."
"Besides, I'm only here because I'm tutoring an employer's children at his home tonight."
"But since you have wasted my time for so long, you will only be deducted from your salary if you go to your employer's house. Therefore, I can only ask for leave from my employer, which means that I have no money tonight."
Gu Nian said this just to dispel Gu Qiangsheng's other thoughts.
She absolutely did not want to expose Shi Ye's existence, nor did she want to expose Shi Ye's residence, because Gu Qiangsheng was like a blood-sucking insect, and she did not want, let alone allow, such a person to appear in front of Shi Ye.
After saying that, Gu Nian took out his wallet, opened it, took out the five hundred yuan inside, and threw it in Gu Qiangsheng's face.
And even though Gu Qiangsheng was treated like this by his daughter, he didn't forget to take another look at Gu Nian's wallet.
It's really...
Empty.
Gu Nian sneered and left a sentence.
"You are dismissed."
Gu Qiangsheng got the money from his daughter and heard that Gu Nian's part-time job tonight was ruined.
He simply stopped pestering Gu Nian.
Gu Nian's face had become extremely stiff, and Gu Qiangsheng had a feeling that if he continued to act shamelessly, his daughter might stab him in the heart with a knife.
so......
"Oh, Nian Nian, you are now in college and can make money again. You are capable. So, dad, I will leave first..."
"roll!!!"
Hearing Gu Qiangsheng's voice, Gu Nian felt that her head was going to explode. Although she had bitten her back molars hard, it still did not collapse.
She almost used up all her strength and shouted the word "get out" at Gu Qiangsheng.
Gu Qiangsheng was really shocked by his daughter's roar, but shameless people are shameless after all.
He will not wake up just because his daughter scolds him.
This time, he was more or less aware of the situation, drooped his head, and ran away in an instant.
Gu Nian looked at his father, like a mouse crossing the street, scurrying from one end of the road to the other, and then disappeared into the night.
Not even leaving a sentence similar to——
"You gave me all your money, so how are you going to have enough to eat tonight?"
Something like that.
For a moment, Gu Nian felt that he was a little unsteady on his feet, and then he felt that his whole body was getting cold.
Although she had long been accustomed to Gu Qiangsheng's attitude, every time she faced her father, she was not the most disappointed, only more disappointed.
It seems that the word "father" means a bottomless pit to me. Not only does it want to swallow up all my energy, but I even have the idea that I might as well jump down and be done with it.
Gu Nian raised his head and looked at the increasingly dense night. There were a few brighter stars twinkling in the sky.
"Mother......"
Gu Nian looked at the brightest star, her eyes blurred for a moment, and tears fell like rain.
Whenever this happens, Gu Nian will always look up at the sky. Don't they all say that after death, people will become stars in the sky?
"Mom, what should I do? I miss you so much, I miss you so much!"
At this moment, Gu Nian felt like she was completely hopeless.
He stood up countless times, forced himself to become stronger countless times, but was knocked down again countless times.
I'm so tired and I want to give up, is that okay?
***
Suddenly, at this moment.
Sweep the floor.
All the street lights in the "Yunfu" villa area turned brighter, and the bright light imprinted in Gu Nian's eyes.
Gu Nian followed the light and looked over.
"Yun Mansion."
"Home."
Gu Nian murmured.
Suddenly, Gu Nian thought of Shi Ye. Just now, his car had driven into Yun Mansion and he had gone home.
correct! He hasn't had dinner today!
I can't break my promise yet.
Gu Nian suddenly became sober. Although she was carrying heavy shackles, she wiped the tears from her face without hesitation.
At this moment, there was still a spark of fire in her heart that had not been completely extinguished.
That is, there might be someone waiting for her to come home in that house!
However, did Shi Ye see his own embarrassing scene just now?
He... what would he think?
But even if he thinks of any bad things, Gu Nian doesn't seem to care.
Because, at this moment, she just wanted to see Shi Ye.
As long as you can see him, that's enough.
With such a mood, Gu Nian continued to walk home with heavy steps.
...
Gu Nian took out the access key from his bag and opened the door of the villa.
I thought that Shi Ye should already be at home at this moment.
But the moment the door opened, everything in the villa was dark.
he......
Haven't you gone home already?
