[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Yue woke up from his dream.

He had a dream, it was the days when he lived in the orphanage, the memory or the dream seemed very far away.Shen Yue's eyes are also healed, and she can vaguely see some phantoms. She is doing cross-stitching, or secretly reading a book, and when Gu Ningyuan came, she was sitting on a chair in an orderly manner.

Gu Ningyuan's shadow flashed by the window, Shen Yue was a little anxious, and suddenly found that he couldn't see Gu Ningyuan's face clearly.

Shen Yue woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweat.

He no longer remembered what Gu Ningyuan looked like.

In fact, Shen Yue's impression of Gu Ningyuan is not very deep. Gu Ningyuan is just a person who can only see once every two months. He only said once in his memory, but everyone in the orphanage thinks that Gu Ningyuan treats him well. different.

Shen Yue was in a daze, and instinctively touched the side. Since returning home, Gu Ningyuan had this big bed. For the convenience of taking care of Shen Yue, Gu Ningyuan always leaned on the other half of the bed, sometimes reading a book, and sometimes lying down. sleep.In short, at all times, Gu Ningyuan is always within Shen Yue's reach.

It's a pity that there is nothing here at this time, leaving him empty-handed.

"Gu, Mr. Gu..."

There was still silence in the room, no one answered.

Shen Yue's fingertips suddenly retracted.After a long time, he slowly got up from the bed again, hugged his knees and curled up into a small ball, with his chin resting on his knees, and the thin shoulder blades on his back were trembling slightly.

For the first time since he was injured and hospitalized, Shen Yue was so lonely, and felt that the darkness in front of him was so unbearable, which directly made him at a loss for what to do.

After Shen Yue stayed alone for a while, Mama Liu opened the door lightly. Before leaving, Gu Ningyuan told her to come in and take a look every half an hour.

She saw that Shen Yue was awake at a glance, and walked over to pick up the quilt that fell on the ground and cover Shen Yue. Shen Yue grabbed her and breathed heavily, "Mr. Gu!"

Mama Liu was stunned for a moment, then put away the smile on her face, and comforted him with the tenderness unique to old women in her voice, "Eldest Young Master has something to go out, so he can only come back at night. Young Master is awake, do you want to go out for a walk? The sun is just right now, and it’s not drying out.”

Shen Yue let go of her hand, was silent for a while and shook her head.

The clock turned slowly and rhythmically, and the sun gradually shifted with the hour hand.

The sun was setting, and it was almost dusk.

Mama Liu has already prepared the meals according to the time the nutritionist ordered, and the dishes are placed on the table in the restaurant on the first floor, each of which is specially made.It's just that it hasn't finished yet, because Gu Ningyuan said before leaving that he would be back before dinner.

"The eldest young master called just now, saying that he asked the young master to eat first, and he will not be back until some time after something happened."

Shen Yue had heard Liu Ma say that Gu Ningyuan had called, but she couldn't see it, but she tilted her head and looked expectantly at the direction from which the phone was ringing.

Unfortunately, there was no good news.

"Oh." Shen Yue replied in a low voice, and groped for the tableware on the side with his right hand.

Gu Ningyuan hung up the phone, there was a stream of people outside the window, but the cars couldn't move an inch, and the horns honked one after another.

He had calculated the time so that he could come back just in time for dinner.

The driver saw Gu Ningyuan's unhappy face from the rearview mirror, and suggested, "Mr. Gu, why don't I turn around now and take another road, but it's a bit far away, and the road conditions are not very good."

Although the road went around in a big circle and was bumpy, it was still much faster than the traffic jam.

It was only dark when Gu Ningyuan came back, and it was only a little later than usual.The headlights in the restaurant are on, and Shen Yue hasn't finished his dinner yet.

The servants all went to do their own work, only Liu Ma stayed by Shen Yue's side.

Gu Ningyuan stood quietly by the restaurant door.

The table was full of dishes as usual, Shen Yue was holding a spoon in his hand, hesitating in mid-air, shifting around from time to time, as if he was choosing which dish to eat.However, Shen Yue quickly made a decision. He carefully scooped up three spoonfuls of vegetables with a spoon, so carefully that no soup splashed down, then put them in a bowl, and mixed them with the vegetables for dinner.

And Mama Liu stood aside helplessly.

Gu Ningyuan frowned, he took two steps closer, there were eight dishes on the table, only the two dishes near Shen Yue's hand were half empty, and the others remained unchanged.

Mama Liu was pleasantly surprised, but also relieved, "It's the young master who is back!"

Shen Yue just realized that someone was coming in front of him, swallowed the last mouthful of rice in the rice spoon, called Mr. Gu dryly, and continued to take another mouthful.

"How is this going?"

Liu Ma had no choice but to tell Gu Ningyuan what happened after he left.

Shen Yue didn't want to be fed, insisted on eating by himself, leaving Mama Liu to worry about it.

Even though he couldn't see, Shen Yue didn't slow down his eating speed too much. He only ate the two dishes close to his hand.

Seeing that he had already eaten half of it, Gu Ningyuan came back.

Gu Ningyuan's eyes fell on Shen Yue, heavy and questioning.

"I, I'm not willful," Shen Yue faced Gu Ningyuan's eyes, although he couldn't see it, there was always coercion.The voice also gradually lowered, "I always want to eat alone."

Shen Yue has only been alone since he was a child, and the parents and relatives in his memory are all fake, and he has no true feelings for him.After being thrown in the orphanage, Shen Yue was still ignorant and had been forced to grow up.

He has suffered a lot, even though he is only eight years old, he has built a thick wall in his heart.

Just like this meal, he was used to being fed by Gu Ningyuan, and when he was cooked, he specially opened a small door for Gu Ningyuan in his heart, but he couldn't allow others to come in.

Gu Ningyuan looked at Shen Yue calmly, and saw some vague shadows from his previous life.

Shen Yue was keenly aware of Gu Ningyuan's unusual look in his eyes, and was inexplicably aggrieved, feeling that he had done nothing wrong.

He was born in an orphanage, and he has known a truth since he was a child, that food is robbed, and if he can't rob, he will be hungry.Therefore, he would not stop eating because there was no Gu Ningyuan to feed him, so he would not embarrass himself.But Shen Yue really couldn't accept being fed by others, it was too intimate a gesture, and it made him feel that he had degenerated into a little baby who didn't understand anything and could only rely on others.

Except for Gu Ningyuan.Because from the moment she lost her eyesight to now, Shen Yue has always relied on him completely.

Gu Ningyuan sighed, gave up the memories, bent down and took a bite of Shen Yue's rice spoon, took the rice bowl, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you like this dish?"

Shen Yue: "..."

It can't be said that the taste has not been tasted until now.

"This time it was an accident, I won't let you eat alone like this again in the future." Gu Ningyuan picked up the steaming food, "I promise, okay?"

The so-called guarantee is a promise, and a promise is a responsibility, and the responsibility should be fulfilled.

Shen Yue completely forgot the unhappiness just now, and it was rare to show childish joy, and responded joyfully.

The TV in the restaurant was on, and the hostess with exquisite makeup was broadcasting the evening news of Donglin City today.It said that the public security officers destroyed several gambling establishments, took advantage of the situation and seized the subsequent usury organizations, and then interviewed the gamblers whose families were ruined by gambling and usury. Quite sensational.

Mama Liu also looked a little sad, "It's a crime..."

The camera quickly turned to the next news.

It was the opening ceremony of a building in the city center during the day.Gu Shengquan was full of energy, laughed loudly, and cut the red ribbon together with the beautiful female star, which represented the official start of work.What is the reporter's narration? Gu's new helm is a conscientious entrepreneur, and the century project is such a beautiful word.

"This news! What the hell is this!"

Mama Liu widened her eyes angrily, muttered a few words, and turned off the TV with a "snap", not in the mood to watch what the parents were going to say next.

When Gu Ningyuan heard the news, the feeding spoon paused, Shen Yue didn't eat according to the rhythm, his head tilted, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"It's nothing." Gu Ningyuan gently stuffed the spoon into Shen Yue's mouth, and comforted him softly.

------------

After cutting the ribbon during the day, Gu Sheng booked the entire hotel and held a banquet in the hotel lobby.

The lights are bright, and the toasts are staggered.

"Mr. Gu is really old and strong. It is safe to entrust the Gu family to your hands."

"It is true, it is true!"

"..."

There are more than 100 members of the Gu family whose surname is Gu, but only one can be called Mr. Gu.

They seemed to have forgotten that they called another person like this a month ago, even if Gu Lv died, Gu Shengquan should not inherit it.

Those flattering words, either explicit or reserved, were sent to Gu Shengquan's ears along with glasses of champagne and red wine.

Gu Shengquan held a glass of red wine in his hand, and the guests from all walks of life came forward to congratulate him. He had a very high posture, at most he only took a sip of the wine, smiling complacently and restrainedly.

This plan was not proposed for the first time. When Gu Lu was in power, Gu Shengquan submitted it several times in the name of Gu Hong, but Gu Lu kept rejecting it.

Now, Gu Sheng can shake off the shadow of being suppressed by his father, brother, and nephew since he was young and vigorous, and show his ambition.

On the other side of the dinner, Gu Hong attracted a group of ladies and wives and chatted with them.

He was nearly forty years old and had married three wives, each of whom was inferior in family status and appearance.Now this wife, Yue Baoqin, is a college student who just graduated. She was originally a golden house girl, but after she became pregnant, she quickly tore off her second successor.

Gu Hong married her, but the child was gone.The people outside whispered and saw the husband and wife both mocking and mocking.

At this moment, Yue Baoqin gritted his teeth and watched Gu Hong put his arms around the waist of a lady in a pink dress with Jiu Jin. The lady was shy, her face was flushed, and she struggled slightly.

But her upright Mrs. Gu was excluded.

Yue Baoqin was sullen, Gu Hong was lustful and useless, she was blindfolded when she was young, but now she understands everything.

After drinking several glasses of wine alone, a waiter came up to her and asked politely and apologetically, "Do you know who is Mr. Gu Hong?"

Yue Baoqin didn't bother to pay attention to him, but he had to cheer up and pointed to the place where the women were huddled together.

The waiter stepped forward, walked to Gu Hong's side in two or three steps, and whispered a few words to him.

Yue Baoqin could clearly see that Gu Hong's reddish face turned pale in an instant due to alcoholism, his hand holding the wine glass trembled, and he followed that person out.

Yue Baoqin sneered twice, took half a sip of wine in his mouth, and realized something was wrong the moment he swallowed it.In order to show her talent, this hotel, every banquet table, and even the decorative lighting bouquets are all ordered by her.Every waiter who appeared was personally selected by her. Even if she didn't remember the appearance of all the waiters, the waiter shouldn't be unable to remember her.

She suddenly felt some undue curiosity, wanting to see what happened.

The moon and stars were sparse outside, and the shadows of three people were cast in the corner.

Yue Baoqin hid behind the marble pillar, only to hear the person standing in front of the waiter laugh and say, "You are really a nobleman now."

Gu Hong remained silent.

The man went on to say: "Mr. Gu Shengquan took over the Gu family. It can be said that he has a lot of money. He must not think of the small money owed to our brother." He paused, and smiled with the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes .

"Our casino is just a small business, and now the investigation in the bureau is very strict. Can you pay off the debt again, so that we can get through the current difficulties."

"You!" Gu Hong was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth to hold back the curse words, "I owed debts, but I have paid back far more than three times the money, you guys, you can't do this again..."

"How?" The man sneered, raised his brows, and smiled, "If you don't pay back the money, we can only sell the shares you pledged to me. What do you think?"

Gu Hong couldn't help getting angry, but tried his best to suppress it, and said in a low voice, as if to please: "Let me be a little longer. When I pay back the money, can you return those shares to me?"

"Return it to you?" The man laughed, without any intention of avoiding suspicion, "That's all the shares of the newly appointed Mr. Gu Shengquan and his son Mr. Gu Hong in the Gu family. Such a small amount of money is enough to buy it back ?"

Hearing this, Yue Baoqin's eyes blurred.

It’s over.

She thought to herself that her body had to be completely attached to the stone pillar to hold herself up and not fall down.
