I can't believe it, the person in front of me is Gu Chen.
In my memory, Gu Chen has never been so cruel to her.
For a moment, I felt a sense of frustration mixed with shame.
But she didn't dare to confront Gu Chen, and she wouldn't do that.
"Gu Chen..." Ding Man bit her lower lip, "Are you annoying me?"
Beside him, Gu Chen fell into silence again.
"I..." Ding Man squeezed his hands, "I didn't mean it, don't be angry, you know, I take you as the priority in everything."
He is the main one... He has been hearing this for more than ten years.
Since his mother's death, Gu Chen has been alone. Although no formal procedures have been completed, Ding Man's mother is his de facto adoptive mother.
Although Ding's mother has limited abilities, he still lives a precarious life with her.
But at least, it gave him, who was kicked out of his home by his landlord because of his mother's death, a place to stay, and he no longer had to live on the streets like those homeless people.
Is Mother Ding good to him?
From the perspective of others, it is naturally good.
For example, if the family only has enough money to order milk, it must be for Gu Chen to drink. In comparison, Ding Man, his biological daughter, has to endure it.
Gu Chen let Ding Man pass many times and pushed the milk in front of Ding Man.
"Sister, drink."
But Ding Man shook his head along with the saliva, "Brother drink it, mom said he needs it."
At that time, Gu Chen admitted that he was grateful.
Until one day, he left school early and heard the mother and daughter talking in the kitchen.
"Manman, just be patient and wait until you grow up."
"mom."
Ding Man was a child after all, so he couldn't help but ask his mother, "Why are you so kind to your brother? Everyone says he is your biological one, right?"
"Fool, of course not."
Ding's mother smiled and poked Ding Man's forehead.
"Mom is good to Gu Chen, and Gu Chen will remember it in her heart.
Just wait and Gu Chen will grow up.
When you grow up, you will be a man, not a little boy. He owes our family this kindness. Mom is counting on him to repay me well and take care of you for the rest of his life..." "Mom, I understand, this is called playing the long game.
Fish..." "Haha, yes."
Outside the kitchen, Gu Chen listened to every word.
But he did nothing and could only pretend that he didn't hear.
What can he do?
Even though he understood the thoughts of the Ding family's mother and daughter, he could only accept it.
It is a fact to receive favors from others.
At that time, Gu Chen understood, how could anyone in this world be nice to you for no reason?
It is reasonable and reasonable for the Ding family mother and daughter to ask for something in return... At this moment, hearing such words again, Gu Chen no longer felt much.
Take a deep breath, the debt you owe will eventually have to be repaid.
"Sit tight and I'll accompany you to school."
Seeing him calm down, Ding Man breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried.
What's wrong with him?
Did something happen?
But Ding Man didn't ask.
She knew where Gu Chen's bottom line was, and she couldn't ask him anything he didn't tell her.
But she kept it secret. She wanted to know what Gu Chen was hiding from her.
After returning from school that day, Ding Man stopped pestering Gu Chen. After he left, Ding Man quickly locked the door and followed him.
So, I followed Gu Chen to an apartment area.
When getting off the bus, the driver said something casually.
"You are a student at the University of Toronto, right? International students from well-off families tend to live in this area. Life is convenient and close to the school."
The driver drove away, but Ding Man was stunned.
University of Toronto... She remembered clearly that both Gu Chen and Weng Qiange were students at the University of Toronto, but Gu Chen had already graduated.
