Gu Rao didn't expect to meet acquaintances while boating. Although it was just a relationship between the customer and the boss, since he had met them all, he still had to say hello.

"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence. Aren't you in class at the academy today?"

Gu Wufei came out alone, with only one personal servant.

Hearing Gu Rao's voice, he turned around and found that she was on another ship.

The corners of her mouth curled up, trying to put on a smile, but she couldn't, and there was a touch of sadness between her eyebrows.

"My father-in-law received a letter today. My eldest aunt is dead. I specially asked for leave and came back to pay my respects."

Gu Rao was silent for a moment.

"Please grief."

Gu Wufei sighed.

"I haven't even met my uncle's family, so I can't say how sad it is."

"It's just my dad..."

"When he was young, he had conflicts with his uncle, and they broke up. After so many years of separate marriages, they never contacted each other. It was only recently that he learned that something happened to his uncle's family."

"He didn't help when something happened to his uncle. Now something happened to his aunt as well. He blames himself very much. He was so drunk today that he locked himself in the room and saw no one."

"This is the first time I've seen my father lose his temper like this, and I'm a little worried about him."

"Hey, why am I telling you this?"

Gu Rao didn't know what to say for a moment, he just lamented the impermanence of things in the world.

No one knows what will happen in the future. Due to some conflicts, we have lost contact with him for so many years. Now we have not even seen my brother for the last time. You can imagine how regretful he is.

"If Mr. Gu can't find anyone to talk to, you can just talk to me. I'm very strict with my mouth and won't say anything out loud no matter what I hear."

Gu Wufei smiled.

"When I first saw you, I felt kind-hearted. What's more, you have the same last name as me, which makes you even more friendly."

"Do you mind coming up and drinking tea and enjoying the view?"

Gu Rao looked at Cheng Ruoxue and asked for her opinion.

Cheng Ruoxue's eyes glowed.

"Mr. Gu, can you tell me about the grudges between your father and your uncle?"

"To tell you the truth, since I started writing storybooks, I like to listen to other people's stories and find some inspiration from them."

After I finished speaking, I realized, wasn’t I exposing someone else’s scars?

"I'm just talking. If you mind, I won't ask."

"Condolences."

The last two words are dry.

Gu Wufei was generous and not as knowledgeable as a little girl.

What's more, this woman is his friend's wife.

His eyes looked at Cheng Ruoxue and then looked away.

He still feels unreal.

If Ling Shiyin hadn't taken the initiative to tell him, he might never have discovered that the high-spirited man who was telling stories on stage was actually a woman.

Before this, he would never have imagined that there really were women pretending to be men.

"No problem."

"I'll tell you if you want to hear it."

Gu Rao and Cheng Ruoxue then boarded the ship chartered by Gu Wufei, which was much more luxurious than the ship they themselves took.

The two came to the cabin and sat down on the left and opposite sides of Gu Wufei respectively.

Gu Wufei's personal servant came in pairs to bring tea.

"You two, please have some tea."

Gu Rao said thank you out of habit.

"Thank you."

Cheng Shuang smiled.

"Boss Gu, you're welcome."

Gu Wufei took a sip of tea first, and then said slowly, "I actually don't know much about my father's generation. I just heard from my nanny that my father and uncle had a falling out because of a woman."

Cheng Ruoxue became more interested.

"They were fighting over a woman. That woman must be very beautiful and have a good personality, right?"

Gu Wufei shook his head.

"I don't know."

Cheng Ruoxue asked again, "Then which one of them ended up with that woman?"

Gu Wufei still shook his head.

"I don't know either. The wet nurse refused to tell me and told me not to ask these things. My father would be furious if he heard about it."

Cheng Ruoxue, "..."

Why can't you ask three questions?

"You haven't even seen your uncle's face?"

Gu Wufei nodded.

"I used to know that I have an uncle who is still an official in the capital. My father is very talented. The reason why he doesn't become an official seems to be that he doesn't want to be an official in the same court as his uncle."

Cheng Ruoxue was a little stunned.

"So many people are struggling to get a bright future, but your father even gave up his own future just to get angry. He's quite unique."

His expression became a little hesitant.

"I have a question I don't know if I should ask."

I didn't ask, but I couldn't help but be curious. What if he gets angry?

Gu Wufei gently shook the folding fan and said in a good temper, "If you have any questions, just ask them. I don't care about women. Even if you ask some excessive questions, for Brother Ling's sake, I won't answer them."

Cheng Ruoxue felt relieved.

"Then I'll ask."

Gu Wufei nodded.

"Ah."

Cheng Ruoxue said, "Your father and your uncle are still brothers no matter what. Even if their bones are broken and their tendons are connected, even if they are angry, they won't not see each other for nearly twenty years, right?"

"He has been angry for so many years. Is he still thinking about that woman in his heart...?"

Gu Wufei frowned slightly.

"will not."

"My father and my mother are very affectionate. For so many years, my mother has been the only woman around me. She is also very considerate and gentle to her. Outsiders envy them and praise them for their harmonious husband and wife. They are a couple of gods and gods. How can they still care about other women? "

"The reason why I haven't contacted my uncle all this time is because I don't want to lose face."

Cheng Ruoxue nodded.

"hope so."

The three of them chatted about other things, and saw that the sun was almost setting before they said their goodbyes.

-

Gu Rao originally planned to go home first, but when he walked to the arch bridge, he hesitated again. What if Bieye was still waiting for him in the restaurant?

At this time, the restaurant should be closed, right?

She also didn't expect that she would chat with Cheng Ruoxue and Gu Wufei for so long.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Gu Rao was surprised to find that the lanterns were still hanging and the door was still open, but there was no one at the door.

When they entered, Xiaodong was sleeping with his head supported on one hand.

When he saw Gu Rao, his eyes instantly lit up.

"Boss lady, you are finally back!"

Gu Rao asked, "If you haven't closed the door at this time, are you waiting for me?"

Xiaodong nodded.

Then he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "The boss is preparing dinner for you in the back kitchen and asked me to wait for you at the door. I originally planned to wait until it gets darker and then go to the door to wait for you with a lantern. I didn't expect you to be so quick. Just came back.”

If I had known he would have gone out earlier, the opportunity for such a good performance would have been gone.

Gu Rao said, "You should have gotten off work and rest a long time ago. You'd better go and rest quickly. If I come back late in the future, you don't have to wait for me."

Xiaodong said happily, "The boss told me to wait for you. You will be paid overtime. I'm idle after get off work anyway, so I might as well earn more money."

Let’s do more good things like this in the future!

Gu Rao said helplessly, "Okay."

After Bieye heard Gu Rao's voice in the kitchen, he came over with the cooked old hen soup, put it on the table, and waved to Gu Rao.

"Drink it while it's hot."
