Gu Yinlian was sitting on the sofa drinking alone. He originally wanted to relieve his hangover and forget some of the most disturbing things, but he didn't expect that the more he drank, the clearer he became and his mood became more and more irritable. He placed a wine glass heavily on the coffee table and broke it.
, fragments splashed on his hand, causing several scratches. The servant became anxious, "Master, your hand..."
Gu Yinlian didn't know the pain and glanced at her coldly, "Get another cup!"
"But your hands..."
His cold voice came out of his throat. "Are you deaf when I ask you to get another cup?"
"Yes, Master!"
Fine blood seeped out from the back of her hand, but Gu Yinlian didn't feel anything at all. She still drank heavily, one glass after another, until half the bottle of whiskey was empty.
Gu Qingcheng came home after a day's work, exhausted both physically and mentally. Seeing Gu Yinlian drinking alcohol made her even more headache-y. "Why are you drinking again? Dad comes back and sees you like this, so he's going to teach you a lesson again!"
Gu Yinlian ignored her. Gu Qingcheng knew that it was useless to grab his wine glass and sighed. "Lian, when will you stop torturing yourself?"
"I didn't torture myself. You were the one who tortured me in the past few years!" Gu Yinlian poured a glass of wine and looked at her through the yellow liquid. "Sister, for the past three years, you have gone out early and come back late every day, risking your life at work, is that right?
For uncle?"
Gu Qingcheng bit her lip and did not deny it.
"Is it worth doing this?"
"I made myself better and qualified to stand by his side. Is it wrong? I have been working hard with him as my goal for so many years. This has become a part of my blood and cannot be changed."
Gu Yinlian felt that she was already stupid, but Gu Qingcheng was even stupider than him and was pitifully persistent. "But have you ever thought that what uncle needs is not someone qualified to stand by his side, but someone who makes his heart move!
No matter how good you become, he can't like you..."
Gu Qingcheng's heart was stung. She didn't understand the reason, but she kept insisting that as long as she worked harder, Xi Baicheng could see her thoughts and deceive herself. When this obsession was ruthlessly exposed, she was so hurt.
Not only her self-esteem, but also her heart.
She turned away, "I don't want to hear it!"
"I just don't want to see you get hurt..."
"Oh, you can teach me a lesson so calmly, but what about yourself? Are you just like me? Do you really think I don't know who your efforts in the past three years are for?"
Gu Yinlian's pupils tightened, a chill came over her, and her eyes stung.
"I also want to ask you, is it worth paying so much for her? Do you think she will like you if you become like your uncle?"
"I have not become like my uncle!" Gu Yinlian denied loudly. He felt that this sentence was simply insulting to him. "Men and women are different. What a man needs is a woman who is passionate about him. What a woman needs is a person who is strong enough to
Protect her man!”
"A man strong enough to protect her?" Gu Qingcheng felt sarcastic, "I think you are talking about a man who has the ability to snatch her away from her uncle! In the face of love, everyone is persistent and stupid. I am not sarcastic.
You, why do you have to ridicule me?"
"I'm not sarcastic at you! I'm just worried about you...Sister, you are my most important relative, and I don't want you to get hurt!"
"How do you know I will be hurt? Maybe uncle will like me... After all, Ye Yin has left!"
"What if she comes back?"
Gu Qingcheng was agitated, with a look of horror on his face. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yinlian's collar, and asked urgently: "She's back? She's really back? You're talking! What? Are you afraid that I'll cause trouble for her? What do you think?
I don’t know, you have been trying to hide her whereabouts for the past three years in order to protect her! In your eyes, am I such a vicious woman? "
"I didn't! But she is innocent and I don't want her to be disturbed in any way."
"Haha..." Gu Qingcheng shook her head repeatedly and smiled bitterly. "I never thought that for such a woman, you would do this to your sister..."
"Sister..." Seeing her pale face, Gu Yinlian also felt distressed. But he didn't know how to explain it, because they were equally important to him, and he didn't want to hurt either one, but the choice he made had to hurt one of them.
She took a breath to calm herself down. "Don't say anything, I don't want to hear it either... Mom is in bad health recently. Don't make her angry by drinking anymore." She said this indifferently,
He went upstairs without looking back.
Gu Yinlian clenched her fists, looking depressed and troubled. He didn't want to see such a result, but the whole thing seemed to be developing in an increasingly uncontrollable direction.
…
On the first night in their new home, Ye Yin and Xi Baicheng slept in separate rooms, and the two chatted until very late. Thinking that she was next door, he slept more peacefully than ever before. He didn't even hear the alarm clock, but was still being "pinged" by outsiders.
The sound of "ping pong pong -" woke me up.
It was noisy, but also very lively. He deliberately stayed in bed and felt her presence, and then he got up satisfied and energetic. As soon as he left the room, he saw her busy in the restaurant, full of energy, like
This lovely child makes this home feel like home.
"Are you up?" Ye Yin turned to him and showed a bright smile, which instantly filled Xi Baicheng's heart like sunshine. Suddenly, she felt so happy that she wanted to rush forward, hold her in her arms, and kiss her wildly.
.He felt that he could do anything for that smile.
"You've almost demolished the kitchen, why can't I come out quickly and 'save the world'?"
Ye Yin stuck out her tongue, "Sorry! I'm not familiar with this place yet, so it's a bit noisy!"
"What are you doing?"
"Cook breakfast! Dang-dang--" Ye Yin let go and showed off her achievements - sandwiches and milk. She smiled triumphantly. "I made it by myself, isn't it awesome?"
"Yeah! The baby is so good!" Xi Baicheng walked over and kissed her cheek as a reward. But he soon noticed a burnt smell in the air and took a sniff. "What's burnt?"
"Ah? What's burnt? Did you smell it wrong? You haven't cooked anything, so how can it be burnt... Sit down quickly, finish eating and go to work..."
Seeing her panic, Xi Baicheng knew something was going on. He walked to the kitchen and took a look, and sure enough... there were seven or eight fried eggs lying in the trash can, looking pitiful and full of tears.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Yin. She wrung her hands awkwardly and bared her teeth at him. She was so embarrassed that she explained dryly. "Well, this pot is not very good for frying eggs, so... there was an accident...
Hmm! It’s the pot’s problem, it’s definitely the pot’s problem, I can just buy a pan tomorrow!”
Xi Baicheng didn't intend to challenge her, "Oh! Baby said it's the pot's problem, then it must be the pot's problem! Right?"
