The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

The village chief was so worried about Zhuzi's father's affairs that he frowned all day long, as if even the sky had dimmed a little. At this turbulent time, Gu Yunqian quietly left the village and resumed his delayed journey to visit the families of other victims.

The outside world was still noisy, but Gu Yunqian's heart was unusually calm.

He knew very well that this departure was not only to complete his mission, but also to give the village a chance to allow the muddy water caused by him time to settle down. As long as the settling time was long enough, what he wanted would immediately come to fruition.

The days passed by quietly like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Gu Yunqian once again embarked on his "journey home" with mixed feelings. He stood in that familiar place again, and everything seemed to have remained the same, yet everything seemed different.

He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the thoughts and struggles of the past six months into it.

He walked slowly into the village, and every step seemed so heavy.

After getting over this hurdle, he will change from Gu Yunqian to Zhuzi again. I have been away for so long without saying goodbye, and I don’t know how Zhuzi’s father and the village chief are doing now?

What about that woman?

Is she... okay?

The atmosphere in the village was still tense, but Gu Yunqian's arrival seemed to bring a breeze, gently blowing away the haze.

He began to walk aimlessly in the village, and would stop involuntarily in front of every house.

Then he blurted out the name of this family in his mind. Strangely enough, during the six months since he left, not only did he not forget them, but he remembered some things more clearly than before!

When Gu Yunqian slowly stopped in front of Zhuzi's house, the mottled wooden door seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of time.

Suddenly, all the moments of his time with Zhuzi's father flashed before his eyes. Those heartwarming scenes came flooding back to him like a tide, and before he knew it, his eyes were wet.

Zhuzi's father, the old man who was always smiling and had a kind face, once loved him like his own son.

In those days, they worked together, talked and laughed together, as if they were really a father and son connected by blood.

However, "fate plays a trick on people", and when he returned again, "everything had changed".

Gu Yunqian knew very well that Zhuzi's father must feel bad to lose him again after losing him and getting him back.

He couldn't imagine how Zhuzi's father endured the pain of falling from heaven to hell.

Thinking of this, he began to feel a little guilty, as if he had become the culprit.

The moment he entered the door, he hesitated.

His steps seemed to be weighed down by a thousand-pound stone, and every step seemed so difficult. He didn't know how to face Zhuzi's father, the innocent old man who had lost his son.

He was afraid to see Zhuzi's father's eyes that were full of expectation yet loss, and was afraid that he would not be able to bear the heavy emotion.

Standing at the door, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

He suppressed the emotion in his heart, his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he silently recited the lines he was going to say in a while, looking like someone who had done something wrong.

Finally, he mustered up his courage and gently pushed open the wooden door. The room was quiet, with only the faint breathing of Zhuzi's father ringing in his ears.

He walked in and saw the familiar figure huddled in the corner with empty and confused eyes.

"Zhu... Dad..." Gu Yunqian called softly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Zhuzi's father raised his head and saw him. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then dimmed.

"I am dreaming again, I am dreaming again..."

Zhuzi's father turned his head and buried his face deep in his knees, muttering something.

This scene deeply hurt Gu Yunqian!

Gu Yunqian walked to Zhuzi's father, knelt down, and held his hand tightly.

At that moment, all the guilt and all the pain turned into tears and slid down silently.

Gu Yunqian has always been a resolute and courageous person, and he never regrets his decisions. But today, facing Zhuzi's father, he felt unprecedented regret.

He knew that he had hurt the old man unintentionally, and that deep fatherly love had now become the heaviest burden on his heart.

However, the matter has come to this, and regret is of no use.

Gu Yunqian could only bite the bullet and make the best of a bad situation, pretending like nothing had happened. He went up to ask about Zhuzi's father's recent situation and showed concern for him.

His voice was gentle and caring, trying to use this warmth to make up for his past mistakes.

The distance between the two men gradually shortened, and Zhuzi's father finally shifted his gaze back to Gu Yunqian.

The pair of wrinkled hands raised up with slight trembling, and the calluses on the fingers were like marks of time, which hurt Gu Yunqian.

But he didn't say a word, just quietly felt Zhuzi's father's touch. The rough and warm feeling made him feel mixed emotions.

"Son..." Zhuzi's father murmured in a low and hoarse voice. This call seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space and touched the softest part of Gu Yunqian's heart.

He paused for a moment, then responded, "Dad."

At that moment, Zhuzi's father's body trembled violently, as if he was fixed by an invisible force.

Tears flashed in his eyes, and the surprise and excitement were beyond words. Gu Yunqian paused for a moment before he began to show off his achievements over the past six months.

"Dad, I went to work. Look, this is the money I earned." Gu Yunqian took out a stack of brand new banknotes from his pocket. The bright red color stimulated Zhuzi's father's senses, making him almost unable to move. He took the money with trembling hands, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

"Son, you have grown up and become successful."

Zhuzi's father's voice was choked with sobs, and tears finally rolled down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Gu Yunqian felt even more guilty.

He talked incessantly about how he wanted to renovate this shabby house and make his family the richest in the village.

Every sentence is full of longing and determination for the future, as if using this ambition to cover up the guilt and anxiety in one's heart.

When Zhuzi's father listened, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

He seemed to see his son's bright future, and the joy and pride made him temporarily forget the pain of loss.

And Gu Yunqian also found a moment of peace in this false joy.

Gu Yunqian is a man of his words. When he said he would renovate Zhuzi's house, he immediately started to take action.

He looked for people everywhere, arranged materials, and contacted craftsmen. The whole village was shrouded in an atmosphere of large-scale construction.

The sound of hammers, the squeaking of saws, and the shouts of craftsmen interweave together to play a unique symphony of rural construction.

The noise naturally alarmed the people around, and everyone came to watch and talk about it.

The village chief, who had hurried over, was stunned when he saw this scene, as if he had been struck by an invisible lightning, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

The village chief was anxiously searching for Gu Yunqian in the crowd. Finally, he locked onto his target. Without saying a word, he strode over and pulled Gu Yunqian out of the crowd.

His eyes widened, his face full of anger, and he began to scold Gu Yunqian: "Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"
