Chapter 1155: Could He Not Avoid
Sure enough, when Gu Ranzhi heard Pei Xintong’s name, his gaze instantly turned cold and extremely sharp. It is so penetrating that it sends chills down people’s spines.
“Cousin? Er… they’re still in the hotel. Should we go and visit Uncle now?”
Ho.
“Why should I go and visit him?”
“Er…”
The gloominess in Gu Ranzhi’s eyes grew more profound:
“You can leave now.”
He wouldn’t know if he could control himself if he stayed any longer.
Gu Yichen wanted to say something, but when he saw his cousin’s gloomy expression, he swallowed the words he was about to utter immediately.
“Ahem, cousin, then I’ll go back first.”
…
Gu Ranzhi acknowledged but didn’t respond much. As for Gu Yichen, he turned and ran away.
If he didn’t run away as quick as he could, he might be beaten up by his cousin?
It was better not.
He got crushed when he was young, and it had already cast a shadow on him.
…
After Gu Yichen left for a while, Gu Ranzhi regained his calm and went home to his apartment.
He did not stay home for long before taking his things and leaving.
On the way to the office, Gu Ranzhi called his mother.
When Wen Jie received the call, she had just woken up and was about to have her meal.
The nanny, sister Fan, had already prepared some dishes and porridge on the table.
Wen Jie was eating while she answered the phone. She said,
“Why are you calling at this time? Did you just get off the plane?” She asked.
Wen Jie was still very concerned about her son.
The mother and son’s jobs were extraordinary. They could only see each other a couple of times a year.
“I got off the plane before noon.”
“Why didn’t you tell your mother? In addition, since you came back so early, why didn’t you come home?”
Listening to his mother’s nagging voice, the feeling of annoyance from before suddenly subsided.
“I’m at the family quarter. I just had lunch with Tingxu. By the way, Uncle Chen said to give you a break. I’ve already asked someone to book a flight ticket and hotel for a short trip. Someone will send the flight ticket to the villa in a while. I’m heading to the office now.”
Wen Jie was shocked by her son’s words. She asked,
“A trip?”
“Yes, I hope you can go on a trip for some time.”
Wen Jie could guess her son’s thoughts.
“Son, there’s no need to go on a trip. The department is hectic. Once I leave…”
“Mom, without you, the world won’t stop spinning!” His words were not polite at all.
However, it did not seem unreasonable.
Wen Jie frowned slightly. After a long while, she nodded and agreed:
“Alright, I’ll go.”
Since her son wanted her to travel for a while, there was nothing terrible about it. All these years, she did not have much free time to travel.
If she went on a business trip, she might be able to free up half a day to a day to stroll around.
Moreover, her son wanted her to leave so much because he didn’t want her to face those people back then again!
So, how could she refuse her son’s concern?
After the mother and son ended their call, Wen Jie sighed long.
Sister Fan listened by the side and asked,
“Why is Madam sighing?”
Wen Jie shook her head and said with a bitter smile. She said
“Something that was gone a long, long time ago has made a comeback.
Why can’t I avoid it in this life?”
Sister Fan didn’t think so. She replied
“No, Madam is not thinking correctly. Since it’s already in the past, it’s already in the past!
People head towards higher ground, and water flows to the lower one. We have to look forward, where there’s an excellent splendor ahead!”
Why bother about something that has passed?
Why trouble oneself?
