Long Chase for the CEO’s Spouse - C78 RV elopement trip 3
The aunt continued, “Although we have maintained our contract for a very long time, I have never seen him on this street in all these years.”
“…” So how did he confirm that your rent had been paid? If he wants to use the cash, he has to go to the bank to get it, and the banks around here are very close to here. ” Zhang Heng pointed at the bank across the street, which was a few shops away.
Gu Ji glanced at Zhang Heng, “… Don’t play Conan. ”
“Yo!” You even know how to complain! There was progress! There has been progress! ”
The aunt shook her head. Then she handed Zhang Heng and the take-out bag to him, and he gave her the money. The two of them took the takeout and returned to the car.
Once back in the car, Zhang Heng said, “I think your father is the landlady of that aunt.”
“…”
The Human and Resource Departments under Zhang Heng’s command had spent a lot of effort to find out that Gu Ke’s father had a lease on the house, but they did not know what happened after that.
“…” What do you want to say? ”
“Maybe your father is still in town.”
It was impossible for the two of them to get divorced. It should have been a sad place and they should have gone somewhere far away from home. Even his elder sister had gone somewhere far away from home and moved to a big city that was many times bigger.
Zhang Heng also shook his head, indicating that it was hard to say.
“…” Zhang Heng suddenly recalled that the HR and Resource Department employees under her command had found out that Gu Ke’s father had visited the hospital several times in the months before the divorce. Perhaps Gu Ke’s father had realized that he was sick and decided to abandon him to avoid becoming a burden to Gu Ke, Gu Li, and her wife, then live in seclusion deep in the mountains? After all, it was impossible for the medical records in the hospital to be found by outsiders.
What if, perhaps … The account the rent had entered into had become a dead account… No, I don’t think so, because there’s been an increase in rent lately…
Zhang Heng told his own conjecture to Gu Ke, who nodded to show that he understood. But then he shook his head in disbelief. The divorce was such a tragedy.
Zhang Heng and Gu Zhen hastily finished off the fast food in the car. There was a lot of oil on the fast food. Although the meat was large, the quantity was small. Furthermore, the yellow animal oil was sizzling out of the meat. For Zhang Heng, who was used to eating healthy meals, this was a bit unacceptable. He felt that the food stalls in big cities were much cleaner than the fast food restaurants in small counties…
“Don’t you like it?” Gu Yun looked at Zhang Heng, who had already started frowning after eating a few bites. Of course, Zhang Heng was too embarrassed to say that he couldn’t eat it because of his obsession with cleanliness … Of course, Gu Ke could also know Zhang Heng’s thoughts. Because seven years ago, Zhang Heng always helped Gu to go to the cafeteria to get a seat, and at that time, Gu could vaguely know Zhang Heng’s preferences.
But Zhang Heng was always taking care of Gu’s health, so he always helped Gu choose a balanced diet. Gu Zhen was so preoccupied with his problems, his problems… Thus, he did not know that Zhang Heng was thinking for his own sake.
Gu Zhen could see Zhang Heng’s thoughts now. He took the snack box from Zhang’s hand, closed it, and threw it aside. He took out the electric stove and pot from the cabinet of the caravan. With the help of the solar energy, he poured a bowl of noodles and a few meatballs.
Although the soup was very light, it was already very moving for Zhang Heng to be late for something warm.
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank me.”
Zhang Ergong looked at Gu Zhen with a smile on his face, the meat balls still steaming hot in his hands. Ah, this old man and his wife’s way was really touching. Had he finally and Gu Yue managed to cultivate to the maximum?
However, there was still one last task that he had to complete …
What a pity, what a pity …
“You’re the CEO, and you’re going to accompany me to find my father, okay?”
“Isn’t it too late to say that now?”
Gu Ke lowered his head, feeling that he still felt slightly sorry for Zhang Hengheng.
“…”
Zhang Heng reached out his hand and rubbed Gu Ke’s head, saying with a pleased smile, “It’s alright. It is my company that I am harming with a care for your heart’s work. “Don’t worry, I’m awesome. My staff are awesome too, of course that includes you.”
After all, it had been a long time since someone had stepped over him like this. During the examination period, his academic performance always ranked among the best, but no one had ever praised him for his excellence, as if it was only natural for him to fall off the rankings and his grades to be lower.
In order to maintain this normal state, Gu Ke had always been desperately trying to maintain his second place.
The Empress was despised. So be it …
One day, Zhang Heng heard that Gu Ke’s result had always coincidentally remained at the second place spot in the second class, and his score had basically been kept at the range of 1-2 points. From a variety of perspectives, he was able to catch up with < The Genius Mahjong Girl >.
“Is that interesting?”
“Yes.” That’s the only thing I mean. ”
This was the answer he had received all those years ago.
“If you like it, I always praise you.”
“You flatter me like this, so I don’t have any benefits for you.”
“Hahahahaha!” Zhang Heng wiped away his tears of laughter. His mind had truly evolved! It was getting more and more funny!
After the meal, the caravan continued on its way, taking turns. Zhang Heng drove the car up to the top of the hill, where there was a village, which seemed to be inhabited.
As soon as Zhang Heng stopped the car, he got out.
They got off the car and looked around. The yellow bricks and mud tiles were very old. Duck, cat and dog were casually walking on the ground. It seemed that nothing was affected by the modern materials.
Zhang Heng saw an old granny with white hair sitting on the wooden threshold of a house. He walked up to her and asked, “Hello granny, do you know if there is a man with the surname Gu living here?”
The grandma’s hearing wasn’t good, so Zhang Heng yelled in her ear again. Only then did the old granny realize what Zhang Heng was asking. He then pointed at the end of the village with his trembling hand. The granny’s teeth were gone and her mouth was no longer sharp.
Everything here seemed so desolate.
Chang Heng-heng took Gu Que’s hand and led him deeper into the village. He didn’t know what degree of acceptance Gu Yue had. He only knew that, in any case, he hoped that he could properly protect Gu Shenwei from harm once again. And Zhang Heng also wants Gu to be able to rely on himself. He was here, waiting for him to lean on.
The two continued to walk deeper into the village. Along the way, they saw a few lush green trees, but the yellow bricks and mud gave off a dejected feeling.
“How are you doing?”
Gu Ke nodded. “Mm, you’re here.”
Yes, I am.
Zhang Heng opened up all the houses in the village. Either the houses were full of spiderwebs, or there was no one living inside, or else they were not the people he was looking for.
The two of them originally walked uphill, but as they walked downwards, the path gradually became more gentle.
Looking ahead, it turned out to be a dark green oil field with all sorts of vegetables. Next to the oil field was a simple house made of iron and wood.
This scene was not the same as the one above the village. It was as if he were telling Zhang Heng and Gu Ke that this place must be planted by an optimistic person who was still confident in his own life.
Zhang Heng knocked on the door and opened it. He waited for a long time, but no one opened the door. Originally, he thought that no one lived in this house at all. Perhaps the oil fields outside the door were the result of some wild growth.
Suddenly, the door opened and a middle-aged man came out. His hair was already half gray and he had a lot of wrinkles on his face. The calluses on his hands could no longer be counted.
“Hello.”
“Who are you looking for?” The middle-aged man asked.
“I’m looking for Mr. Gu.”
“…” I am. ” Hearing that she was looking for him, the man in the room pushed open the door and walked out. The sun shone on his body, making the white hair on his head shine even brighter.
“…” At this time, Gu Ke, who was hiding behind Zhang Heng, walked out from behind him. The man in the room raised his head and met Gu Ke’s gaze.
Even though his appearance had changed a lot compared to ten years ago, family was family after all, so he recognized each other at a glance.
“Gu Qishao…?”
“Dad …” “Dad …”
His son had grown so much taller, his father had grown older, but he had never thought he would grow so old so fast …
Gu Qishao’s father didn’t hide when he saw him. He simply took out two small stools from the house and gave them to Zhang Heng and Gu Qishao. He also brought a small stool and sat outside the doorway as he drank his tea. He said apologetically, “My place is a little narrow, and I don’t have any teacups ready for guests, so I can’t let you have some water. Sorry.”
Zhang Heng waved his hand and said, “No need to be so polite… “Uncle Gu.”
Gu Zhen sat on a small stool, his head lowered and not saying a word. For the first few minutes of their meeting, Zhang Heng and Gu Ke’s father answered their questions with a few questions and answers.
Initially, Zhang Hen had planned to take the initiative to make a detour to the main purpose of this trip, but Gu Ke had said it out loud first, “Why did you leave us at that time?”
Gu Ke’s father let out a long sigh, unable to say anything. It had already been so many years, why was he still sticking to this matter?
Zhang Heng spoke up in place of Gu Ke, “Uncle, I’ve come to visit you on my own accord. He did not intend to come. ”
“Then why …?”
“Because I like to be accurate. I don’t want him to always feel wronged and want to seal his own heart. This is too painful for him!”
“You like my kid? “Two men?!” Gu Que’s father became angry the moment he heard Zhang Heng’s words. He had the anger of a pig that had finally grown up and raised a cabbage, but Gu Ke’s father had not raised the Chinese cabbage by himself. On the contrary, Gu Ke’s sister Gu Li was the one who raised the Chinese cabbage — and Gu Li had also approved of the matter regarding Gu Ke and Zhang Heng.
