Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 78
night.

On the streets of the Santo Domingo Valley, there are few people on the road, and paper scraps and plastic waste can be seen everywhere on the ground.

A black and solemn Arasaka limousine was driving slowly on the road. The tire crushed a can, and the sound attracted the attention of passers-by.

In the high-end and luxurious carriage, Gloria was sitting on a soft leather seat, her back was straightened up slightly cautiously, her hands were folded on her knees, and she slightly pulled the silky skirt.

In fact, she did not choose this set of outfits herself, but Tang Yu prepared them for her in advance.

After talking about things at home, the two sat in the apartment for a while, and then two attendants from Jinguji came to deliver the dresses in person, and the Arasaka motorcade also stopped downstairs and waited early.

The design of the new dress is a bit complicated, and it needs the help of the waiter to change it.

In order to avoid suspicion, Tang Yu went downstairs and sat in the company car to wait.

The length and waistline of this dress are quite suitable, but I didn't expect the design of the curve part to be a bit small.

It's fine when standing up, but once sitting down it becomes noticeably restrictive.

This caused Gloria to feel a little tight in her chest, and she was also worried that the hem of the dress would easily collapse.

"This set of clothes is so expensive, it's always embarrassing for someone to damage it, and I can't return it to the store."

Therefore, Gloria was very careful throughout the whole process, her whole body was slightly tense, and she tried her best to keep her stomach in a state of tightness.

The cabin is extremely silent, good sound insulation can block all the noise outside the window, and the faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.

Gloria thought: "Silence is too embarrassing. Wouldn't it be better to open the windows or play some music?"

"Oh, I don't know if I'm qualified or not."

Tang Yu didn't express his position from the beginning to the end. In fact, he acquiesced in Gloria's performance just now, and now he just dropped by to send her home.

Soon, the vehicle slowly stopped at the super skyscraper H4.

Tang Yu reminded: "It's here."

Gloria, who was still thinking about it, raised her head in a daze. When she came back to her senses, she quickly looked out the window, only to realize that she had already arrived at her home.

Gloria nodded slightly to thank: "Mr. Tang, thank you."

Tang Yu replied very naturally: "You're welcome."

She reached out to open the car door to get out of the car, but she heard Tang Yu say something again.

"There is news from Mann, remember to tell me as soon as possible, remember to maintain his line, and don't let other people poach it."

"Finally, report any problems in time."

Gloria looked back at Tang Yu, stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, a flash of heat flashed in her eyes, and then replied: "I understand!"

After Gloria got off the car, she still stood where she was, watching the car leave with a lot of emotion in her heart.

She knew that Tang Yu had recognized herself.

Gloria had felt a certain awakening.

As the agent of Arasaka Company, no, it should be Tang Yu's agent, entrusting life and death from now on, and embarking on a new journey of destiny.

As for whether to rush into the darkness or the new future, she can't help it at all. The only thing she can do is to bow her head as a minister.

Suddenly she thought of something, and quickly wanted to wave to stop her, but found that the convoy had disappeared around the corner of the street.

Gloria had no choice but to put down the hand she just raised, and then looked down at the dress on her body with a rather helpless expression.

"What should I do with such expensive clothes? Return them to Mr. Tang, why don't you wash them first, but what if you don't return them after washing?"

Gloria was a little mad.

I had to turn around, walk carefully into the building, and return to the old apartment.

Click.

The mechanical room door opened.

"Mom, you're finally back"

David sat on the sofa with a dispirited expression, covering his forehead with his right hand, and a few drops of blood spilled from between his fingers.

Seeing that David was injured, Gloria quickly kicked off her shoes and trot forward with bare feet.

She bent down slightly, feeling the tightness behind her, but she didn't care too much, and quickly checked the wound on David's forehead. It was a bit serious, with a cut and a big swelling, as if hit by a sharp and hard object.

"Does it hurt?"

David shuddered when Gloria's fingers touched the cut.

"hiss"

But David held back, fearing that Gloria would be worried, so he said helplessly, "I accidentally walked today, fell down, and knocked my forehead accidentally."

After checking the wound, Gloria said distressedly: "Why are you so careless? How old are you? Just bear with me. I'll get you some medicine to disinfect it."

She hurriedly turned around to look for the medical kit. When she was working in a public medical center, she had stored some necessary medical supplies.

Most of these topical medicines have expired, but the expiration time is not long, and Gloria took advantage of her position to quietly take some home.

She pulled out the antiseptic pain reliever spray, and the synthetic imitation skin bandage developed by biotechnology.

Wipe the blood from the wound on David's forehead and apply medicine gently.

Gloria knew that David was lying. No matter how she looked at it, the wound was not caused by wrestling. It was obvious that someone beat him severely.

She looked at David's clothes again. They were dusty and water-stained. He should have cleaned them on his own initiative.

It's not good for Gloria to ask directly, even if she knows the truth, so what.

"How long has it been since you came back? Why didn't you take the medicine yourself first?"

David had a wry smile on his face, and his tone revealed an indescribable and unclear feeling.

"I just came back. I got out of the car when I saw you. I didn't call you. I went upstairs first."

Gloria's hand froze for a moment.

All kinds of feelings came to my heart.

After a few seconds, he said in a daze, "David, I will explain this to you, okay?"

David looked up and saw his mother's slightly nervous and reserved expression, and said a little strangely: "Explain what? I know that you talked to Mr. Tang about something at the Ember Restaurant that day."

"You came back by Arasaka company's car, so you went to see him, right?"

Gloria was stunned, thinking that you are quite smart, and you have already made up your mind.

She was worried about being misunderstood by David just now, and what was going on between herself and Tang Yu, but she soon realized that she was thinking too much.

In the eyes of the young David, Tang Yu is a savior, a senior executive of the Arasaka company, and a noble family who is so high that it is difficult to match.

Gloria was embarrassed by David's rhetorical question. She scolded herself secretly, so she coughed twice.

"Cough cough."

"It seems that David, you have also grown up and become sensible."

"I did go to talk about business. I wanted to tell you about this a long time ago."

"But after all, it's still not settled. If it happens, I'll tell you again. Believe me, life will get better and better in the future."

Seeing Gloria's warm smile, David felt much better, and even the wound on his forehead didn't hurt so much.

"Mom, I believe in you."

David looked at Gloria and wanted to tell the truth several times in his heart, but finally he endured it.

After the car accident, he didn't want to make his mother sad and disappointed.

In fact, the wound on his forehead was caused by being bullied by his classmates.

The culprit is Katsuo Tanaka, and the cause is related to Katsuo Tanaka's gossip behind his back.

Because the target of his tongue-twisting is Tang Yu.
