Time goes back to one hour ago.
Lu Xuewei received information from her parents, not the Lu couple, but her biological parents.
But she mostly calls them poor people in her heart, never admits that they are her parents, and will never give them a good look.
[Xuewei, can you transfer some money to dad? I heard that you went to work at Gu's, and you should be making a lot of money, right? 】
Normally, Lu Xuewei would have scolded them, and finally told them, "Lu Wanning is the daughter they have raised for more than ten years" and asked them to find her.
But today, I thought that Gu Huaimo seemed to be out on an inspection, and that place was very close to where the poor couple lived...
Lu Xuewei's eyes flashed, and she suddenly had a plan.
[I don’t have much money on hand...and I’ve been out alone for so long. You never care about me, you only care about my money. 】
This was half true and half false. The truth was that the content was true, but the lie was that the emotion and tone were all faked by her.
Finally, the drunkard agreed to meet her and coaxed Lu Xuewei into peace.
The other party probably thought that as long as they met, he could always get some money out of her hand.
But after meeting, Lu Xuewei insisted that she had no money.
Until the end, Lu Xuewei was forced to say helplessly: "...How about I call my boss and ask him if he can get a little salary advance?"
——Of course it can't be done, at least not by Gu.
But she just wanted to take the opportunity to make Gu Huaimo feel pity.
So, Gu Huaimo received a call from Lu Xuewei.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Xuewei's voice was tight, as if she was reluctant, but she had no choice but to say: "Mr. Gu."
"Can you... lend me some money, or advance my salary, even a thousand yuan."
Lu Xuewei's voice became softer and softer, as if it was difficult to speak.
However, another male voice on the other end of the phone was particularly dissatisfied:
"One thousand yuan? What are we in this age? What can you do with one thousand yuan? You join a big company and you can't earn at least ten thousand yuan a month? I, Zhuang Youwei, am uneducated, but I am not a fool!"
The man's voice gradually became blurred because Lu Xuewei quickly covered her phone.
"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry... don't listen to what my dad said. I know you don't like people who break rules and regulations, but I really have no choice..."
Lu Xuewei tried her best to sound calm, but the panic in her voice still betrayed her.
But this was not important to Gu Huaimo.
He doesn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs, nor does he want to be kind.
If he sets a precedent for Lu Xuewei this time, everyone in the company will want to set a precedent in the future.
So Gu Huaimo just said: "If you have any questions about salary, please contact the Finance Department."
After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.
But at this time, an arrogant male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Xuewei, what do you mean now? Whether you admit it or not, I am your biological father!"
"Wan Ning has been admitted to the Lu family for so long, and I still ask her for money every day! I have never seen her be as picky as you! You are also the adopted daughter of the Lu family, I don't believe you really have no money... …”
Hearing the name 'Lu Wanning', Gu Huaimo was about to hang up the call, but suddenly paused.
He frowned and asked, "Lu Xuewei, where are you now?"
His attitude changed so quickly that Lu Xuewei didn't expect it, but she still subconsciously reported the location of the restaurant.
Coincidentally, this home was only one kilometer away from where Gu Huaimo was at this time.
"I'll go over now." Gu Huaimo added before hanging up, "You and...your father are waiting there."
In the restaurant, Lu Xuewei couldn't figure out why Gu Huaimo's attitude changed so quickly.
But...since he is willing to come here for him, he must be moved by her after all, right?
Lu Xuewei suppressed the joy in her heart and looked at her poor father, with deep disgust hidden in her eyes.
But she just said: "Dad, Mr. Gu said he would be here soon... He may be afraid that I will encounter some blackmail..."
However, when he heard that Mr. Gu was coming, even though Zhuang Youwei didn't recognize Gu Huaimo, he knew that the person named "Mr. What" must be rich.
So, he suddenly changed his smile and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could dad blackmail you?"
"Look, it's my daughter who has made a fortune, and she actually caught a rich husband."
Lu Xuewei bit her lower lip when she heard this. Her heart, which should have been calm for a long time, still felt humiliated.
But she quickly took a deep breath, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and said:
"Dad, what are you thinking about? President Gu is helping me, probably for Lu Wanning's sake."
"He is Lu Wanning's husband, and I am the adopted daughter of the Lu family. He only cares about this thin relationship."
She said this originally to guide Zhuang Youwei to ask Lu Wanning for money in the future.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, her poor father became even more excited: "There is still this kind of relationship? Then we should make full use of it——"
"With this kind of relationship, wouldn't it be easier for you to get closer to Mr. Gu? Even if you don't get a good name, you can get a lot of benefits by following him..."
Lu Xuewei cursed in her heart, this worthless thing actually wanted her to be Gu Huaimo's lover?
While she was eating delicacies at the Lu family, Lu Wanning was probably still chewing on the hard buns.
Whether it was Gu Huaimo or the Lu family's favor, it should have been hers.
What she wanted to do was not to be inferior to Lu Wanning.
What she wants is to take back everything that should belong to her.
But this fantasy was quickly shattered.
After Gu Huaimo came to the restaurant with a calm expression, the first words he spoke were not concerned about Lu Xuewei, but instead addressed to Zhuang Youwei:
"You said before that after Lu Wanning was recognized back to the Lu family, you were still asking her for money?"
The man who was originally arrogant and domineering suddenly didn't dare to speak loudly after seeing Gu Huaimo.
"Gu, you are Mr. Gu, right? I don't know what you are talking about..."
Gu Huaimo's aura became even colder and he repeated what he just said.
Lu Xuewei's original fantasy was shattered instantly, and she finally realized that Gu Huaimo came here for Lu Wanning.
...But when did Gu Huaimo start caring about Lu Wanning? Didn't he never care about her before?
As for her poor father, even though Gu Huaimo only said a few words, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Mr. Gu, you are wronged...I made those up randomly..."
Gu Huaimo's expression was still cold, and he obviously didn't believe what he said.
Zhuang Youwei could only tell the whole story: "Mr. Gu, I just wanted my daughter to give me some money, so I just talked nonsense..."
"I looked for Lu Wanning several times at first, but that bitch...that girl was so stubborn! She completely ignored our more than ten years of upbringing, and she was just like an iron rooster who couldn't pull off a dime!"
The more Zhuang Youwei talked, the angrier he became: "If I hadn't pulled her up with shit and piss when she was little, she would have died a long time ago! You have no conscience!"
The words in his mouth were about to blurt out in the next second, but at this moment he met Gu Huaimo's ice-like eyes.
Suddenly, he became a coward again:
"No, Mr. Gu, that's not what I meant... In fact, Wan Ning is quite good. She has been very well-behaved and sensible since she was a child..."
"...well-behaved and sensible?" Gu Huaimo tasted the word in his mouth and couldn't help but sneered.
He glanced at the man and said, "You'd better make sure that what you say is true."
Zhuang Youwei nodded repeatedly. He couldn't care less about money at this moment.
After seeing Gu Huaimo, he couldn't stand up straight.
Gu Huaimo looked at the man with disgust: "Get out."
