Chapter Seventy-Nine: Forced Talk

Wang Li finally sat down, after all, Lao Gu always put a lot of pressure on him.

He took a few symbolic bites, and then said, "Well, do you want to see how my work is doing?" ”

Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "I'm looking at it, it's very good." ”

Wang Li said again: "Then in this case, I am leaving?" ”

"What's the hurry?"

Wang Li said: "There may be a task for me from the council. ”

He also felt inexplicable about this, why so many people suddenly asked him to do housekeeping, or through the board of directors designated.

This kind of quest is generally the prerogative of mid-level witchers.

This kind of assigned task arises after a relationship has been established with some powerful people.

The assigned task will only be released as a normal task if the designated person is clearly unable to complete it.

But Wang Li shouldn't be so famous in the circle of those rich people, how can there be so many people to appoint him?

Mr. Gu laughed, and he said, "Don't worry, there won't be anything looking for you over there." ”

Wang Li's thoughts instantly reacted, and then asked, "Those orders I received, were all placed by you?" ”

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "I just praised you in my circle, and they know that you are here with me, and they will not rob me." ”

Wang Li nodded thoughtfully.

But when he looked at Mr. Gu again, his eyes were full of vigilance.

What does this old man want to do?

Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "Don't look like this, can't I just spend money to ask you to be my companion?" ”

Wang Li analyzed it vigilantly and said, "It's not impossible, but it depends on what you want to talk to me about." ”

Mr. Gu said: "Don't be nervous, just talk about me, talk about you, talk about Lin Jiangcheng, and talk about Gao Hai." ”

Wang Li waited for his next.

Old Mr. Gu has already entered the state: "Well, my real name is Gu Hui, but I was actually a poor boy in this Lin Jiangcheng. ”

"At that time, Linjiang City was lively, the port was always full of ships, and the wharf was crowded with workers waiting for work."

"I was also working as an unloading porter at the docks, as a foreman, and even as a blackhead."

"Lin Jiangcheng in that era was really full of opportunities, and black and white were not so clear."

"I also earned the first pot of gold in my life with my youth and momentum, and slowly developed in this Linjiang City, and finally became one of the richest people in this Linjiang City."

When he said this, he changed his words and asked, "What about you, you are so young and capable now, do you have any ideas for the future?" ”

Wang Li was suddenly asked, but he felt that there was nothing that could not be said, so he said bluntly: "No, I just want to be with my family." ”

Gu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's good to be with your family, and being with your family more is really happiness." ”

"It's not like me, I always forget my family when I'm working hard."

"In the end, he became the lonely person he is now."

Wang Li asked strangely: "Mr. Gu, you are so old, haven't you ever had a family?" ”

Gu Hui shook his head and said, "The so-called 'family members' now are just my inheritance, so don't mention it." In the early years, there was a quiet girl who followed me to suffer, but we didn't have a family, so we could only be regarded as a private life. ”

"It's a pity that I ignored her when I had some money."

"There are more lights around her, so naturally I slowly alienate her."

"It was a woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she didn't cry to me, but suddenly left my life at some point, and never appeared again."

"That was, forty years ago."

Gu Hui said, and suddenly his eyes turned a little red again.

For Gu Hui, who was suddenly emotional, Wang Li was still in a state of confusion with a capital letter, what should he do?

Fortunately, Gu Hui then continued: "At that time, I was ignorant, I just thought that it was okay if the woman left, and I could put aside all my scruples." ”

"I left Lin Jiangcheng and went to Gaohai, where I saw the ultimate luxury and enjoyment, but my heart became more and more empty."

"She's been gone for forty years, but I've been missing her for at least half of that time."

"I've looked for many women since she left, but these women came for my money, and I never met a woman who could make me put down all my defenses and get along with me at peace."

"Those children are also fighting in front of me for those family properties, and they even wish I had died early."

"Later, I simply handed over all the properties to them, and I returned to my hometown Linjiang City, where I returned to prepare for the rest of my life."

Although Wang Li didn't know what he was doing here, he still obediently acted as a listener next to him.

At this time, Gu Hui changed his words and asked, "Wang Li, can I call you Ah Li?" ”

Wang Li felt a little mindful.

But it was rude to refuse, so I could only respond stubbornly: "Yes." ”

Gu Hui smiled lightly and said, "Then Ah Li, where are you from your hometown?" ”

Is it really gossip?

Wang Li thought about it, and there was nothing he couldn't say, mainly because he didn't know what happened to him when he was a child.

He said: "I should be a native of Linjiang City, I heard my mother say that she was born in Linjiang City before, and then went to Gaohai to have me, and then returned to Linjiang City to live." ”

Gu Hui's expression shook for a moment, and he asked, "Then do you have any relatives in Lin Jiang City?" ”

Wang Li thought for a while and said, "No, my mother and I have always been two people." ”

"But now my mother is probably going to get married again, so I have something to rely on again."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but show a rather 'kind' smile.

On the surface, he seemed to have been guarding against Ye Mu, but in fact, he was actually very satisfied with this stepfather in his heart.

At least Ye Mu really loves Jiang Fei, and that's enough.

is obviously a son, but he was stunned to come up with an old father mentality, that is, only people like him who have a particularly wide range of ideas will be like this.

Gu Hui nodded, what else did he want to ask.

As a result, Wang Li turned against the guest and said: "Mr. Gu, when you returned to Linjiang City, did you also want to find out if there was any news about the woman forty years ago?" ”

Gu Hui nodded and said, "Yes, there is such a little thought." ”

Wang Li asked, "Then have you found it?" ”

Gu Hui looked at him and finally shook his head: "She's dead." ”

Wang Li didn't feel surprised, but he was very puzzled by Gu Hui's attitude.

At the same time, he began to doubt his own background.

But he didn't say anything in front of Gu Hui, but when he got home, he had to ask his mother carefully.

Gu Hui didn't say anything more, just blindly lowered his head and groaned.

Wang Li thought about it and offered to leave.

This time, Gu Hui didn't stop again.

After Wang Li said goodbye, he rode the little electric donkey and returned home with a heavy heart.

Speaking of which, his memories of his childhood are actually quite weak.

Maybe it was because he was already mentally abnormal at that time, because he received so much information from the outside world that he always ignored what was happening around him.

So until the age of six, I was stupid and stupid, and I didn't really remember until I was six years old.

And since he can remember, there has only been Jiang Rui by his side.
