Overbearing CEO Falls in Love With Me - C418
The old man’s expression was clearly lifeless as he sat on the wheelchair with his head tilted. There was even a bib around his neck to catch his saliva.
Everyone in the room all sang a song for his birthday as Gu Mo pushed out a seven storey tall birthday cake from the back.
The atmosphere was very warm, and he knew that everyone was gathered here to celebrate his birthday. His eyebrows were raised, and he was smiling like a kind Maitreya Buddha. However, when he opened his mouth, saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Wanqing did not have any memories about this old man, but it was as if she had just seen Lu Qiuhe.
Lu Qiuhe said that this was her foster grandfather. This old man must have liked her a lot, that’s why he recognized her as his foster granddaughter.
How did they meet?
Ye Wanqing was very curious, as Ruan Xi had already pushed the old man down the stairs. As Ye Chenlin and Ye Musen just finished singing, they tiptoed and kissed on each of the old man’s cheeks. Gu Mo pushed the cake in front of the old man, and everyone cried out “Happy Birthday” at the same time.
The old man could not utter a complete sentence. He only hummed a few times in response, but his eyes were bright. It was obvious that he was very happy.
“Alright, cut the cake!”
The cake was very high, so the old man was unable to stand up. Lu Qiuhe and another elegant lady helped to cut the cake the first time, and then the butler helped to distribute the cake to the others.
Everyone present was very interested in Ye Wanqing, but because Gu Jinyuan had always been standing beside him like a god of devils, no one dared to step forward to ask him any questions.
After cutting the cake, Ruan Xi pushed him into a corner to rest. Gu Mo cut a piece of cake and brought it in front of Ye Wanqing, “Today is Grandfather’s birthday, since you’re here, you should just feed him a piece of cake. Even if he doesn’t remember you, he should still be very happy.”
Gu Mo had specifically cut this cake for the old man, and there was a word on the cake, Life, written in strawberry jam.
Ye Wanqing hesitated for a moment before he took it and walked towards the old man. Gu Jinyuan wanted to follow along, but he was stopped by Gu Mo who had his neck hooked: “Boss Gu, come on, let’s have a drink together.”
Gu Jinyuan did not move. He saw that Ye Wanqing had squatted down in front of Old Man Gu and chatted for a while before he pushed Gu Mo’s hand away. Gu Jinyuan walked to the side with a dark face.
This person’s temper was still so bad.
Gu Mo scolded in his heart, but he still followed Gu Jinyuan with an embarrassed face. On the other side, Ruan Xi also came over with a plate of food, and the two of them attacked Gu Jinyuan from the back like sandwiches. Gu Jinyuan was entangled for a while, but his face gradually revealed annoyance and dissatisfaction. You even brought your son along. Aren’t you afraid that your family’s old man will tear down the roof? ”
For the past two years, Old Man Gu felt that the reason why the Gu family purposely refused to marry Gu Mo was because of his health, so they intentionally tried to snatch the children away from the Gu family. They had always secretly tried to bring Ye Chenlin and Ye Musen back, and even strictly forbade Gu Zhenmu and Ye Chenlin from playing together, let alone allowing Gu Zhenmu to come to the Gu family.
Gu Jinyuan’s relationship with Gu Mo and Ruan Xi had not been very good these past two years, so when they heard him speak, they did not beat around the bush. They carried a glass of champagne and found a place to sit on the sofa.
Ruan Xi and Gu Mo both knew his character, he could not hit a fart with a stick, but they were not discouraged either. He picked up a bottle of champagne and clinked it with Gu Jinyuan, sitting together on the sofa with him as he observed Ye Wanqing and the Old Master.
The old man had been getting more and more muddled recently, and his body was fine, but he liked to bask in the sun. The place Ruan Xi had pushed him to just now was perfect, the golden sunlight shone in from the outside, enveloping the old man and the young in a tranquil light.
Ye Wanqing squatted on the ground, and raised his head to look at the old man, there was a light smile on his face, his eyes refracted light from within, as though all the bad things that had happened to her before had been erased, and only the words of peace remained.
Even someone like Ruan Xi couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart.
How rare.
This woman called Ye Wanqing had appeared perfectly fine in front of them, like a miracle, causing them to be unable to help themselves from thinking of the miracle that would cause them to cry.
Ye Wanqing didn’t know what Ruan Xi and the others were thinking, but when she squatted in front of the old man with the cake in her hand, she suddenly felt that she was still a child.
“Old sir, do you remember who I am?”
The old man naturally wouldn’t answer her, but when Ye Wanqing scooped out a spoonful of cream and fed it to his mouth, he took the initiative to open his mouth and gulp the cream down the spoon.
“Is it delicious?”
The old man didn’t know if it tasted good, but after he swallowed the cream he mumbled a single word, “… “Yes!” Ye Wanqing fed him another mouthful.
It was only now that the uncertainty and fear in her heart completely calmed down. This old man had given her an inexplicable desire to pour out her heart, so she unconsciously spoke out all the thoughts in her mind.
I don’t remember who my mother was, I don’t remember being married, I don’t remember having three such wonderful sons. I was told that I was a musical student, a talented musician, and that he loved me very much and would protect me for the rest of my life. But then he told me that everything was fake, that I was just a container for the memory of the man he loved.
As Ye Wanqing spoke, he became sad again, but the old man was only staring at the cake in her hands and didn’t hear what she had said at all.
When he saw the old man eat it sweetly, he could not help but ask, “Although that person tricked me, I really like him. He and Boss Gu are completely different people, I can completely relax in front of him and not think about anything else. However, when facing the Boss Gu, I am extremely afraid.
This question confused Ye Wanqing.
Luo Muxiu said that she studied musical instruments, but she did not like anything related to music. But Luo Muxiu said that she loved him, she had never doubted herself, he was so gentle and sincere, how could she not love him?
She was sure that she liked people like Luo Muxiu, but Gu Jinyuan and her were not similar in any way, so why did she like him in the first place?
If she and Gu Jinyuan didn’t marry out of love, then why did she marry out of love?
