Chapter 48: A Wavering Heart
After returning from Gu's house, Bai Tong drove back to his apartment.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he found that Gu Tianyou was already waiting there, his expression looked very ugly, he looked directly at his mother, and said in a questioning tone: "Mom, what are you doing today?" β
Bai Tong was asked a little inexplicably: "What else can I do, of course it's to look at things, go shopping or something." As she spoke, she also took out the pastries she bought today and put them on the table: "You just happened to come here and bought some snacks on purpose." You taste it, it's not delicious. β
Gu Tianyou glanced at the pastry and said angrily: "No appetite!" β
"You kid, what kind of attitude!" Bai Tong was a little angry, Gu Tianyou rarely talked back to her, I don't know which tendon is wrong today, and he dares to lose his temper at her!
At this time, Gu Tianyou looked at her and asked again, "I'll just ask where you went today?" β
Bai Tong was a little weak when asked, did he know? But it can't be!
"I told you, where else can I go, really, I'm going to cook!" With that, she went to the kitchen and got busy. Gu Tianyou followed.
"Mom, don't lie to me! I know you're going to find Fanxi! What the hell do you want? Gu Tianyou said very unhappily, in the past few days, he found that there was something wrong with Bai Tong, and he was not on the same level when he talked to her.
So he followed his mother today, and was surprised to find that she went to the Gu family!
Of course, Gu Tianyou also knew what happened to the Shen Group, and his mother actually went to Shen Fanxi, what did she want to do? And doesn't she think it's inappropriate?
Bai Tong saw that he had fallen and put the kitchen knife aside: "Really, how do you know?" β
It seems that no matter how she cheats, she still can't fool her son!
"You don't care how I know, I'll just ask you why you went to her?" Gu Tianyou asked again, a little impatient, because he really couldn't figure it out!
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Bai Tong simply told Gu Tianyou about today's matter: "I went to find her for your good, who knew that this child was simply an elm head!" β
Too naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve, I really don't know if it's good or bad!
When Gu Tianyou heard this, he was not angry: "Mom, you are confused!" How to find Fan Xi, she will definitely not agree, she is such an upright person! β
He can't say that he knows Shen Fanxi very well, at least she won't agree with his mother's decision.
As soon as he heard this word, Bai Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes: "As long as you are upright, I am an old witch!" It's all for your own good, can you eat upright? β
Back then, she blindly tolerated and let their mother and son fall to the current point, otherwise she would have taken Jiang Xue's place long ago, and Gu Tianyou would not have become an illegitimate child.
Gu Tianyou sighed: "Mom, I know that you are for my good, but I know my own affairs, and I will not make our lives sad in the future." β
Over the years, although he has been cautious in the Gu family, he has also saved a lot of private money, as long as they don't squander the money, it is enough, and Gu Tianyou has no intention of fighting for power, he feels very tired.
If he could, he would prefer to live this life quietly and ordinarily, and simplicity is also a kind of happiness.
But this wish, in Bai Tong's eyes, is the so-called indisputable: "Our current situation is already very sad, if your father leaves in the future, Jiang Xue will not let us get a penny from the Gu family." β
"So what, I don't care."
"But I care!" Bai Tong suddenly roared angrily, his eyes were a little red: "I have worked hard for so many years, not so that you will be kicked out of the Gu family by her in the future, you are his child, and we deserve the part you deserve." β
Otherwise, her years of hard work have been in vain!
Gu Tianyou sighed: "Mom, are rights and status really that important?" If you hadn't given birth to me, you wouldn't have had to suffer this sin. β
He returned to his seat listlessly to do a good job, he can understand many people in this regard, but he can't do it himself, he is not the kind of person who likes fame and fortune. It's a pity that there are too many such people in this world.
"What are you talking about?" Bai Tong chased out of the kitchen: "Anyway, now that you are a member of the Gu family, we must find a way to win what belongs to us in the future!" And let me tell you, women like men with power and status, if you don't have these, what do you compare with Gu Ziyan? β
Bai Tong said directly, hitting the nail on the head and poking Gu Tianyou's pain.
But she has no choice, if her son must be so indifferent to fame and fortune, then will they drink porridge in the future? What's more, Bai Tong really hopes that his son is good!
Gu Tianyou's eyes were full of sadness: "Mom! You ......"
originally thought that this was his secret, but he never thought that Bai Tong would say a word.
"Don't think I don't know that you like that Shen Fanxi, yes, she's pretty good, but now she's your sister-in-law, don't say it, and that kind of woman, do you want to choose someone worse than yourself?" Bai Tong said, she still thinks Shen Fanxi is very good, otherwise how could she look down on Gu Ziyan?
However, that Gu Ziyan disappointed her.
Gu Tianyou was a little speechless: "I didn't tell you ......" He never told anyone, but he just kept this feeling silently in his heart, after all, he knew that they had a disparity in identity and all kinds of pressure.
Bai Tong shook his head helplessly: "I have eaten more salt than you have walked!" Think about it, if you don't fight for these, what will you use to protect the woman you like in the future? Do you want to be like me? β
Saying that, let her recall the cold treatment she suffered with Gu Tianyou, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she had survived so many years of hardship, but she couldn't fall short in the end!
Seeing Gu Tianyou pondering, Bai Tong simply took advantage of the victory to pursue, and cried very uncomfortably: "Do you think it is easy for me to live for so many years? raised you since you were a child, and you were talked about by others, but you are my child, how can I beat you. Your father has no conscience, but he has the ability, and that is what you deserve, and you should fight for it! β
Gu Tianyou saw that Bai Tong was crying, and immediately panicked: "Mom, talk well, what are you crying about!" He was also very distressed.
"What do I cry about, what do you say I cry. I've told you so much, if you don't have that motivation, I really can't help it! In short, you don't have money and status, how can you impress Shen Fanxi, although she is not such a person, but at least you can't be worse than Gu Ziyan! β
Bai Tong said bitterly, she hoped that her son could understand her hard work.
After being silent for a long time, Gu Tianyou said: "Mom, I know, you let me think about it." β
Bai Tong knows that this kind of thing can't be forced on him, as long as his heart is shaken, everything is easy to say!
"Okay, you think slowly, I'll cook, I have chicken soup today." With that, she wiped away her tears and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Gu Tianyou couldn't bear to feel sour when he saw his mother's back, Jiang Xue never had to go to the kitchen himself at home, although he had his own apartment, but Jiang Xue had a clear rule that he couldn't let his mother move in. And this set of companies was secretly bought by Gu Chengzhou for Bai Tong, which is not too big, three bedrooms.
But compared to Jiang Xue, it is far worse, not to mention that the woman never gives herself a good face.
Forget about these, he is used to it, but just now Bai Tong said Shen Fanxi's problem, which really made him moved, maybe she was right, if a man has no status and money, how can he give happiness to the woman he likes?
Love without material things is a plate of sand.
Although this sentence is very realistic, it is about this truth, in today's world, such innocent love seems to be only available in the last century.
Thinking about it, although Gu Tianyou felt a headache, he had to think about it.
Moreover, he was indeed moved.
After returning home that night, Gu Tianyou thought about this question all night.
What Bai Tong said is not unreasonable, not to mention that her original intention is often for her own good, how can a mother think about her children from time to time?
And Shen Fanxi also had a sleepless night, thinking that he couldn't help but be a double betrayal, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
So she got up and listened to the songs all night, and she tried to let herself listen to something interesting in life, rather than sad and uncomfortable, otherwise it would be more painful.
Early the next morning, someone from Shen's Group sent someone to deliver something to Shen Fanxi, which she accidentally left in the office when she was packing up her things before.
The girl who came to deliver the things was also just coming to Shen's work not long ago: "Sister Fanxi, I gave you all the things." Now Shen Qingyu is already in your office, and she said that she can't have your things. β
Sure enough, as soon as she left, Shen Qingyu couldn't wait to move into her office.
"Okay, I see, you can put it down." Shen Fanxi said indifferently.
The girl nodded, but she wanted to say something again, Shen Fanxi looked at her as if she had something to say, and simply asked, "Is there anything else?" β
"Hmm...... Sister Fanxi, in fact, many of our internal employees still want you to go back. Only really good employees know who a good boss is, you must not give up, we all want you to come back! The girl said sincerely, although she has only just come to the company, but who is right and who is wrong, she thinks, discerning people should know it in their hearts!
It is hard to imagine that there are still people in the company who are loyal to him, and Shen Fanxi is still a little moved in his heart.
"Okay, I see, I'll do my best." She said softly, now that she is thinking about the words of the Shen family, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, unless there is luck to help her.
The girl nodded violently: "Yes, that's it, don't give up, I'm still worried about seeing you unhappy on the way here, although it's a little dark under your eyes, but it's much better than I expected, and my heart should be relaxed!" β
Don't look at this girl's young grade, but she knows how to speak and regulate her emotions, at this moment she comforted Shen Fanxi, but it gave her some comfort in her heart.
"Thank you, I will. I'll see you in the future. Shen Fanxi responded politely.
The girl smiled heartily: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it!" Mr. Shen, you should have a good rest during this time. I'll go first! With that, she neatly lifted her hair back and happily went back to work.
Shen Fanxi looked at her back, and couldn't help but sigh that it was so good to be young, so carefree, how could she not be like this back then, if she could, she would still be willing to go back to the one who had just studied abroad, full of unknowns and curiosity about everything, pure hearted, and a beautiful world.
Unfortunately, she now knows the sinister side of it.
