Chapter 165: The Drunk Man
She had heard too much about how dangerous a drunk man was.
Standing at a safe distance of one meter from the bed, through the orange wall lamp at the head of the bed, the man's appearance clearly came into view, this is a mature face, the nose bone is straight, the chin is thin, maybe the reason for the drunkenness, the cheeks are slightly flushed, and the seriousness in the photo is missing.
Gu Mochen stretched out his big characters and lay on his back on the big bed defenselessly, the buttons of his dark gray shirt were unbuttoned several times, the muscle lines were looming, his slender legs were spread out on the bed under the wrap of suit pants, and half of his calves hung weakly on the edge of the bed.
Tan Man swallowed his saliva, he didn't know why, he was a little nervous.
She stood there and observed for a long time, and when she saw that the man was still fine, she quietly walked over.
Carefully took off his shoes, lifted the calves hanging out of the bed back to the bed, and pushed his sturdy body hard, giving him a more comfortable sleeping position.
Taking a breath, just as she bent down to cover him with the quilt, Gu Mochen suddenly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips hit Tan Man's collarbone hard, and before he could react to the pain, the collar of the shirt on his chest had been grabbed by the man, and the thick smell of wine mixed with the breath on his body came to his nose.
Tan Man was startled, and subconsciously dodged back, although he easily shook off this weak 'attack', but with a "snap", a button on his chest was torn off and fell on the wooden floor.
"Hey, you're ......"
"Water ......, want to drink water......"
Before Tan Man's scolding words came out, he saw the man muttering with a painful expression, this voice may be heard by normal people, but hearing aids are not so powerful.
She retreated to safety, staring at him defensively like a frightened bird.
Gu Mochen's lips moved, Tan Man couldn't hear what he was saying, and soon, he returned to a deep sleep, his expression distorted, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
Tan Man, who was in shock, didn't care whether he was dead or alive, turned around and ran out of the room quickly.
The next day, Dad called.
"Manman, the courier just came, and I received the blood glucose meter you bought."
A second before Tan Man picked up the phone, he was in a daze in front of a pair of word documents, and when he heard the voice of his father Tan Weiguo, he immediately lifted his spirit.
"Dad, then you try it quickly, didn't you just go to the hospital to test your blood sugar yesterday, just to compare the difference between this machine and the official data of the hospital."
"I have just tested the pre-meal, and the hospital is basically the same, the control is quite stable, I will check the meal after eating for a while, don't worry." Tan Weiguo said.
"That's good, remember to compare these times, remember how much the deviation is, and you can take a test often at home in the future, and pay attention to your blood sugar at any time."
"I know, it's the same as your mother back then, verbose." Tan Weiguo smiled and disagreed.
"I won't be verbose with you, who will be verbose with you, by the way, Dad, I just received a notice of regularization, and I will receive an official salary starting next month."
"That's a good thing."
"I'll go home this weekend, and then I'll invite you to Aunt Qiu's restaurant for a corrupt meal."
"Okay, you go to work, I'm fine, nothing else, you remember to eat on time."
Dad hung up the phone, and Tan Man couldn't help but smile at the phone.
Sometimes she often thinks that without hearing aids, her life after the age of seventeen is almost silent, but if there is no father, then the world after the age of seventeen is not only silent, maybe even darker, God knows what a terrible blow it is for a young girl in the flower season to experience a terrible car accident and become a disabled person overnight.
……
Jingcheng Law Firm.
"Lawyer Gu, this is the litigation information of the workers' compensation case that I have compiled!" Assistant Lilian knocked on the door and came in and put a stack of materials on Gu Mochen's desktop.
"Okay."
Seeing the other party's tired face, Lilian said with concern: "Lawyer Gu, your face is not very good, is there something uncomfortable?" ”
"I'm fine, by the way, is Chen Hao here, let him come in."
"Good!" Gu Mochen usually doesn't talk much, Lilian is well aware of his boss's personality, and silently walks out of the office.
A few seconds later, a young man with glasses knocked on the door and entered.
"Lawyer Gu?!"
Gu Mochen glanced up at Chen Hao, he wanted to ask if Aunt Chen took care of him last night, but suddenly he didn't know how to speak.
"Sit!"
Everyone in the office knows that being vigorous and resolute, efficient and direct, is Gu Mochen's style of doing things, and at this moment, he suddenly let himself sit down and talk, and he stopped talking with a look, Chen Hao became apprehensive.
"Last night, you sent me home."
"Hehe, trifle!" Chen Hao also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Mochen's expression relaxed, "Lawyer Gu was very drunk last night, Mrs. Gu is not angry, right?" ”
"Mrs. Gu?!"
Sure enough, it wasn't Aunt Chen.
"Yes, when did Lawyer Gu get married, and the confidentiality work was really good, is it because Mrs. Gu is young and beautiful, and she is reluctant to bring it out for everyone to see?!" Chen Hao joked with a smile.
"What are you talking about, there is no Mrs. Gu." Gu Mochen frowned slightly, "Okay, it's okay, let's go out to work!" ”
After the door was closed, Gu Mochen leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and pressed it twice.
In the middle of the night, he opened the drawer, pulled out a star-shaped pink button from his wallet, and pinched it on his fingertips to look at it.
Originally, he was lucky to hope that this was Aunt Chen's thing, but when he heard Chen Hao say this just now, he suddenly became a little depressed.
Did this thing fall on its own, or was it ripped off by him......
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Mochen's car stopped at the entrance of the kindergarten, took Xiaobei from the teacher, and then quickly merged into the torrent of vehicles, rushing home before the rush hour arrived.
Gu Mochen glanced at Xiaobei in the child seat from the rearview mirror, as quiet as ever, playing with the Rubik's Cube he brought back from a business trip to Hong Kong last week.
"Hungry? Aunt Chen is not here tonight, do you want to eat the egg fried rice I made, or do you want to go out to eat? ”
Didn't respond.
"Gu Xiaobei!" Gu Mochen frowned slightly, and took advantage of the red light to turn his head and shout at him, but the other party acted as if nothing happened, as if he hadn't heard him speak at all.
Gu Mochen looked back helplessly, over the years, he really couldn't do anything about this younger brother, talking to him would always be like a one-man show, and it was rare to have a few words in response.
When the car drove into the gate of the community, Gu Mochen stopped for a moment and greeted the security guard: "A girl in her early twenties will come to me in a while, just let her in." ”
"Mr. Gu, is that the girl from yesterday?"
Gu Mochen thought for a while: "That's right! ”
"Okay!" The security guard politely saluted, and the car slowly drove into the parking lot.
When he got home, Gu Mochen took off his suit jacket, threw his briefcase aside, took out his mobile phone and ordered a takeout, he had a hangover last night, and he was dizzy all day today, and his efficiency was extremely low.
"Xiaobei, I'm going to take a bath, come and knock on the door if there's anything, do you hear?"
At this moment, Xiaobei is sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window playing the Rubik's Cube.
Gu Mochen walked over, bent down and pinched his little face, repeating: "Did you hear that?" ”
The other party finally nodded.
When Tan Man came, Gu Mochen was crazy about the child's refusal to eat, and he obviously ordered his favorite shredded carrot and meat on weekdays, but he didn't want a bite today.
Being tossed like this, Gu Mochen's face was not very good when he opened the door, which made Tan Man, who was already a little embarrassed because of last night's incident, muster up the courage to pull up a smile on his face.
Gu Mochen looked at the girl in front of him who was half a head shorter than himself, the real person looked better than the resume photo, the skin was fair and delicate, the facial features were delicate and small, the shoulder-length black hair had not been dyed and permed, black and soft, with a face without makeup, the whole person was pure and unique to her age, he seemed to have not seen a girl like her for a long time, without powder, refreshing and thorough.
"Hello, Lawyer Gu!" Tan Man stared at his eyes as clear as a half-moon and greeted him generously.
Gu Mochen bowed his head and let out a way: "Come in." ”
Tan Man changed her shoes and walked in, and she found that Gu Mochen, who was sober, even if he changed out of his suit and wore a home clothes, he still had a sense of distance that people could not approach.
"Miss Tan, have you had dinner?" Gu Mochen asked politely, and the displeasure on his face just now dissipated a lot.
Tan Man nodded vigorously, this action suddenly revealed her age when she had just graduated from college, he couldn't help but smile, turned around and went into the kitchen.
Maybe it's because Gu Mochen is here, today's Xiaobei is honestly sitting on the stool, still playing with yesterday's Rubik's Cube in her hand, she waved her hand at the child, full of enthusiasm: "Xiaobei, do you remember my sister?" We saw it yesterday! ”
Still no response.
"Drink water." Gu Mochen took a stick of water from the kitchen and handed it to her, "I'll feed him first, and you can sit for a while." ”
"Good!"
Manman glanced at the takeaway lunch box on the table, and couldn't help asking, "When Aunt Chen is away, does Xiaobei eat takeout with her?" ”
Gu Mochen paused, the number of times he let Xiaobei eat takeout was very rare, today was the exception, he was too tired.
"Aunt Chen comes almost every day, so Xiaobei rarely eats these." After speaking, he sent a mouthful of rice to Xiaobei's mouth, and tried several times, but the child still couldn't open his mouth.
Seeing this, Tan Man didn't lose his temper while the man still had the last trace of patience left, and immediately said, "Why don't I come." ”
Gu Mochen raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "He's not ordinary difficult, are you sure?" ”
Tan Man smiled slightly, revealing a pair of pear vortices, like a little angel: "Didn't you hire me to solve these problems?!" ”
Gu Mochen got up and gave way, sat opposite the child, and smiled with a lively smile: "Okay, you come!" ”
In fact, she wasn't sure how to start communicating with Xiaobei, after all, the contact time was too short, when she went out today, she went to the toy store and bought a Rubik's Cube to bring over, no matter what, you have to let the child accept herself first.
"Dang Bell!" Tan Man excitedly took out the Rubik's Cube in the bag and attracted Xiaobei's attention in a direct and rude way, "My sister also has a Rubik's Cube!" ”
