Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 583: Pseudo-gold-diggers of the 00s

"Just for fun?" Wu Kangcheng's high-pitched voice was filled with shock.

Wu Kangcheng paced on the spot, then held his mother's shoulders with both hands and shook her vigorously: "Mom, please wake up! Are you still playing with this illegitimate child?"

Mrs. Wu felt dizzy from the shaking. She pushed Wu Kangcheng away with both hands and leaned on the sofa to rub her temples: "What are you doing? I'm sober!"

Wu Kangcheng was completely devastated: "Dad has an illegitimate child outside, shouldn't you take care of it? An illegitimate child!!"

"Oh, how do you know I didn't care? If I hadn't cared, would you have been able to live comfortably for more than 20 years? With your condition, those two bastards would have skinned you alive and caused an accident to cause you to say goodbye to this world."

"It is precisely because I am firmly in the position of Madam Wu, and I have a distinguished family to support me, that your father dare not bring his children to me no matter how much fun he has outside."

Wu Kangcheng stood there in a daze, the warm and harmonious family scenes in his mind shattered bit by bit...

Looking at my mother sitting on the sofa, I felt very strange.

"Mom, you and Dad are in love..."

"It's all for you. I wanted to tell you after you took over the company, but I didn't expect you to be so useless." Mrs. Wu didn't even want to look at her miserable son. Is true love that important? Shouldn't power be more important? !

Wu Kangcheng reacted and stumbled to the sofa: "You and Dad are so loving and close, are you pretending?"

"Mom, don't you love Dad?" Wu Kangcheng asked the question that had been lingering in his mind. Love is the most wonderful thing in the world. If there is no love, what is the point of two people being together?

"Love? A marriage between two families doesn't require love, it only requires benefits. Besides, why should I love your father? Can't I just love myself?"

Mrs. Wu smiled brightly: "I can now ask my friends out to play at any time, and do what I want at any time, without having to worry about whether your father is drunk at social gatherings, or whether he will have nothing to eat when he comes back."

Wu Kangcheng stared at his mother blankly, and was directly stung by the bright smile on his mother's face.

Thinking back to the days I spent with Gu Nuanyi.

Except for the beginning when there was still some smile on Gu Nuanyi's face, the smiles on her face became less and less as time went on, and her face was always full of fatigue.

"Or do you think that life only requires love? Do you think that love can buy food, oil, salt and firewood? You don't even need to eat, love every day is enough, right?"

"You don't have to worry about those things. It's just that your family and that silly girl have taken the responsibility for you." Mrs. Wu's words were like a thousand-pound weight hitting Wu Kangcheng.

"Do you think that silly girl feels your love? What you gave her was not love, but a burden."

Wu Kangcheng shouted angrily: "No!!! I love her!!"

Madam Wu scratched her ears and said playfully, "Tsk, what are you yelling about? Do you think the louder you yell, the more you love me? Or do you think I've torn off your fig leaf?"

"Mom! I'm your son!!" Wu Kangcheng was really angry and embarrassed now.

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't be standing in front of me, don't be angry." Mrs. Wu restrained her playful smile: "Since you have enjoyed everything the Wu family has given you, you naturally have to repay the Wu family, so have you thought it through now?"

Wu Kangcheng was stunned for a moment, thinking about the question just now, and he lowered his head dejectedly like a drowned chicken.

Mrs. Wu did not rush him, but drank her tea and ate her cakes at a leisurely pace.

After a while, Wu Kangcheng choked up and said as if he was being forced: "I choose the second one..."

"Don't act like someone is forcing you to do this. This is your own choice."

After talking it over with her son, Mrs. Wu stopped pretending. God knows how tired she was from pretending to be gentle and virtuous for more than 20 years.

Madam Wu waved her hand: "Okay, don't disturb me while I'm drinking tea. Go back and think about what to do. As long as I'm there, the two illegitimate children won't come to the house. But if you..."

Wu Kangcheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then Mrs. Wu chased Wu Kangcheng away like a fly, and asked the housekeeper to invite a few teachers to teach Wu Kangcheng at home.

He only knew how to play when he was in school. The only reason he was able to graduate was because his family gave him a lot of money and the school gave it to him as bribes.

Mrs. Wu took a sip of tea and looked out the window at the garden.

Finally, she doesn't have to pretend anymore. She has always been sober and has not been trapped by so-called love. She also knows what she wants and what she should bear.

the other side

After leaving the orphanage, Gu Nuanyi went to the train station and bought a train ticket to Hangzhou the next day.

After arriving in Hangzhou, Gu Nuanyi booked a hotel and went to West Lake.

"It's still so beautiful." Gu Nuanyi leaned on the edge of the low bridge and admired the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

I also bought some fish food from a vendor nearby and squatted by the lake to feed the koi.

"This koi is so fat." Looking at the plump koi in the lake, Gu Nuanyi suddenly had an idea: "I wonder if such fat koi are delicious..."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the koi fish that were surrounding Gu Nuanyi with their mouths open asking for food swam away.

The fattest one among them swam the fastest, and it was afraid that Gu Nuanyi would catch it and stew it.

Fat Koi: ...This human is so scary...Other humans are just praising it for being cute and no one wants to eat it.

It wants to hide. This piece of meat of its is earned by eating bite by bite, and it doesn't want to be eaten by humans.

But humans have delicious food in their hands...if they hide, they can’t eat it. Or should they eat less in the future?

Yes, eat a few bites and then swim away and hide so that this terrible human can't catch it.

The fat koi happily wagged its tail. It was really smart. It would definitely become the first koi in its tribe to jump over the Dragon Gate and become a dragon! !

Gu Nuanyi looked at the plump koi's tail that left an afterimage and blinked. The koi's tail was so strong, the flesh must be firmer.

"Sister, don't be greedy, the koi has become intelligent!" The voice of a little chick came from Gu Nuanyi's mind.

When Gu Nuanyi heard the chick's voice, she put away the fish food and walked towards the toilet.

Anyway, the fish have all run away and there is nothing to feed them.

After going to the restroom and making sure that no one was around, Nuanyi slipped into the space.

He hugged the chick that rushed over to him and said, "Hey, little chick, you came out of seclusion so soon this time."

"Sister, you helped so many people in your last life. My soul is bound to yours, so I can share some of that goodness." The little chicken flapped its wings: "Sister, do you think I have grown up a little bit?"

"It has grown a lot." Gu Nuanyi weighed the chick in her arms and said, "It has also become a lot heavier."

"By the way, sister, I have something to tell you." The little chick called twice towards a corner, and a silver-white young dragon gurgled out.

The silvery-white young dragon completely forgot that it could fly and swarmed towards Gu Nuanyi like a bug.
