While they were talking, he downed another glass of alcohol. His turbid eyes lost focus as he hiccuped.
A strong alcohol smell, along with a disgusting scent, wafted in the air. Mi Nuo looked at him with disdain. She had wanted to look for him to get some ideas. After all, Gu Deshou already knew her true identity. However, this person… was absolutely useless.
Mi Nuo changed her mind suddenly. “Father, you are already so old. You shouldn’t drink so much. I’ll head out now since I have nothing much to say.”
Covering her nose, she walked out. After her figure vanished from the study room, Gu Deshou finally peeled his eyes off of her back.
He looked at the glass of alcohol in his hand. With a tilt of his head, he downed an entire bottle.
He had drunk the alcohol too fast. He did not expect the alcohol to go into his nose. Immediately, he started coughing violently.
As the alcohol went into his system through his windpipe, he experienced a burning pain and he could feel that his heart did not feel as numb anymore.
He threw the bottle of alcohol forcefully. “Crack!”
The bottle shattered into pieces.
Thereafter, he leaned against the office chair dejectedly and weakly. He stared at the ceiling.
Already so old?
What did these people even know? He was also young once. He also had an earnest heart once. But why was God treating him like this?
He had lost his true love twice.
Xiao Muqing…
At the thought of this name, one would get the feeling of poise and class, as if she was a princess that was ever so deserving of everyone’s admiration.
However, her family had objected to the idea of her being with him back then. Hence, a person like her had made the decision to elope with him, only to meet with a car accident in the midst of the journey…
As he thought of this, the terror and thrill of that car accident flashed across his mind, causing him to feel a sense of urgency.
Gu Deshou sat up straight suddenly. Muqing, Muqing… Meiting, Meiting…
―
Upon leaving Gu Deshou’s study room, Mi Nuo waved her hands in front of her nose, as if doing so could dissipate the bad luck that Gu Deshou had brought her.
The moment she walked out of Gu Deshou’s study room, Mi Nuo also saw Li Yufeng walk out of Gu Xingshan’s room.
Both of their eyes met. Hence, Mi Nuo went to the study room next door. After a while, there was a knock on the door and Li Yufeng walked in.
As soon as Li Yufeng walked in, she frowned after seeing Mi Nuo. “Nuonuo, Shanshan is your sister, after all. Can’t you try not to ruin her mood?”
Mi Nuo occupied herself with her phone. She had fallen down and the blood from her open wound had not been cleaned, but Li Yufeng talked about Gu Xingshan first the moment she walked in?
She raised her head and looked at Li Yufeng before saying moments later, “Are you recuperating well?”
Li Yufeng became soft-hearted again as she sat opposite Mi Nuo. “Yes, I’m fine now. The car accident wasn’t that serious.”
Yes, wasn’t that serious…
Mi Nuo’s lips curled up mockingly. Her car accident wasn’t serious, so she was discharged from the hospital after three days.
But Gu Xingshan and Gu Xinghao had taken the chance to give her phone away, such that she could not contact her. Thinking about it now, she found it fortunate that she had burned her boats. If not, she might really have starved to death!
Mi Nuo fumbled with her fingers again, only to hear Li Yufeng say, “Can’t you be more compromising toward Shanshan?”
As soon as she said this, Mi Nuo interrupted her. “My time is precious. I’m not here to talk about Gu Xingshan!”
