This time, Gu Jinyuan's wine was not bad. After sitting on the floor for a while and feeling sleepy, he climbed onto the bed and went to sleep.
Ye Wanqing helped him wipe his face, took off his shoes, and covered his face with a blanket.
In the end, it was 8 million RMB for a bottle of wine. It was such a pity that it was wasted.
After doing all of this, the door was knocked again. Ye Wanqing hesitated for a moment before going over to open the door, and saw Old Man Gu leaning on his walking stick as he stood outside the door with a solemn expression.
"Jin Yuan just drank some wine and fell asleep."
"I'm looking for you!"
"…"
Old man, this behavior of yours is very similar to how the head of a high school lecturer talks to the wrong student. Do you know that?
Ye Wanqing silently cursed, but his body obediently walked out of the room, and then gently closed the door.
The Old Gramps didn't bring anyone else and just walked forward while leaning on his walking stick. His steps weren't fast, but his speed wasn't slow either.
After a while, sensing that she wasn't following him, the old man stopped and turned around to look at her. His expression was very dissatisfied as he urged her silently.
The doctor had already warned Ye Wanqing before, if he didn't want to become a cripple, he had to recuperate properly. Under this kind of gaze, Ye Wanqing was still moving about like a snail, not daring to let his foot get injured again.
The old man couldn't wait any longer and asked the butler to give her a wheelchair.
The wheelchair could move forward using electricity, and it could even adjust its speed. This way, Ye Wanqing could finally keep up with the old man's footsteps.
The old man brought Ye Wanqing out to the open air. After walking from the main building to the west for a few hundred meters, they saw a teahouse in front of them.
In front of the teahouse, there was an antique pavilion with four corners. It was completely different from the style of the main castle.
As they got closer, they could hear the gurgling of boiling water and smell the fragrant aroma of tea. Someone had brewed the tea here beforehand.
The old man brought Ye Wanqing into the pavilion. Inside, there was a small round table carved onto a stone table and four stone stools. Two cups of tea was poured on the stone table.
The height of the stool and the round table were just right. The Old Master put down his walking stick and sat down.
The tea was good, the tea garden was picked up, the best tea brewing was made using a traditional method, the tea brewing method was also extremely sophisticated, it was many times better than the tea that Ye Zhensheng drank for him at the office last time.
If the instructor was here, he would definitely be very happy.
Ye Wanqing was distracted for a moment. Old Man Gu had already lifted his teacup to take a sip, the frown on his face relaxed slightly, as if he was enjoying the taste of this cup of hot tea.
Ye Wanqing looked at him quietly, a little curious as to what he had called him here to say.
After about two to three minutes, the old man finally had enough tea and slowly put down his cup.
His every move was full of charm. If it was recorded in a video, people would definitely recognize him as some hidden expert.
"I thought you wanted to ask me a question."
The old man spoke up.
He and Ye Wanqing had only met twice, and each time, he expressed a great deal of hostility towards Ye Wanqing. At this time, he calmly sat down face to face, giving Ye Wanqing an extremely unreal feeling.
"I have nothing else to ask. I am just a very ordinary woman. If you want to punish me, it is just a matter of words."
Ye Wanqing used the word 'punishment' and had already affirmed his absolute authority with his words.
For example, the emperors of ancient times could determine the life and death of others with a single sentence.
"So obedient? Weren't you very good at talking just now? "
The old tutor gave a faint smile, not knowing which part he was talking about.
Ye Wanqing did not dare to speculate, and laughed as he replied: "When I have a backer, naturally I will be a bit more stubborn in my speech. Without a backer, if I do not follow up, wouldn't I be seeking a beating?"
"You think he's your backer?"
The old man's words seemed to be more of a ridicule, ridiculing her ignorance, and also ridiculing Gu Jinyuan's youthful vigor.
"I'm still useful to him, he always has to protect me a little."
In front of the old man, Ye Wanqing didn't say that love was such a ridiculous term. The old man had seen all sorts of monsters and ghosts all these years, she was afraid that she would laugh her teeth off.
"Useful? What do you think you can do? "
She had no power at all without money, so she could not be of any help to Gu Jinyuan in the development of Gu’s.
Ye Wanqing knew that he could not afford to lose at this time, and decided to reveal his trump card. "He has a question in his heart, only I can be his stepping stone, allowing him to pass."
"…"
The old man didn't speak immediately, he only looked deeply at her.
That one glance told Ye Wanqing that she had gambled correctly!
The old man knew what Gu Jinyuan's obsession was, but it had almost become a demon in his heart. If he did not remove it, he would never be able to live a normal life.
"What do you know?"
The tone of the old man wasn't friendly. After all, no one wanted their family's secret to be discovered by their enemy's daughter.
After betting on the first step correctly, Ye Wanqing's attitude became much more relaxed. She looked at the old man sincerely: "I don't know anything, and you know his methods, I can't find anything at all. I can only guess that he wanted to use me to defeat Ye’s, because I am Ye Zhensheng's illegitimate daughter, destroyed by my own daughter.
Ye Wanqing's guess was completely correct. The old man's hostility slowly disappeared and he added another cup of tea to himself, "What kind of hatred do you think made him do this?"
"I can't imagine, and I don't want to investigate. I told him before that I didn't enjoy any of the fatherly love Ye Zhensheng gave me, but instead endured the hatred caused by him. This is my life.
She had made the smart decision not to try to discover the so-called truth behind it.
Because that had nothing to do with her.
"What are you going to do when this is over?"
"He and I are from two different worlds, so everything ends at zero. We should return to our own lives. We shouldn't get involved with each other, and we should never disturb each other again!"
Ye Wanqing said firmly. From the moment she boarded the plane to the Gu family mansion, she had already thought about this a thousand times.
She was ready to leave, to be good to her, and to her three children, with the most resolute of gestures.
"Where's the child?"
"Jin Yuan said that he would send the child abroad, so he shouldn't have any chance of meeting her in person in the future. If you're worried, you can issue an ultimatum to restrict my qualifications to leave the country, and with the Gu family's connections, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish this. If you're still worried, I have a mother, and you should know that I accepted a surrogate pregnancy to help her treat her illness.
She had revealed her weaknesses as well, without holding back, without any feeling of safety at all.
