Chapter 388 - 390: Foolishness Turns Out to be a Form of Dependence 4_1
Why can’t I see anyone?
Maybe he got held up on the way. Hmm, patience, wait a little longer. After all, I have nothing else to do. I can look at the news on my phone, check my stock earnings. Roughly calculated, half a month has passed since the month she promised Gu Shaocheng. She’d only made 48,053 yuan from the stock market. 10,000 of that went to a nursing home under her grandmother’s name. Plus the rent and food expenses at Gu Shaocheng’s place, which will probably cost another 10,000. She doesn’t have much money left. Sigh, there’s still half a month, how can she make 200,000 yuan? Her mother is far away in City T, waiting for another half a month to bring her to City E to get her treated. Once she’s recovered, would she be able to forgive her daughter’s unfilial nature?
There is Chenxing standing at the entrance of the community, thinking this way and that, waiting for so long. Why hasn’t he arrived yet?
..........................................
Gu Shaocheng slammed the car door, this is just his luck, met up with a stubborn traffic cop. He got out of the car, locked it. He looks around, hoping to find a small shop, a public telephone. But none of the dozen or so shops in the vicinity have a public telephone.
The traffic cop handed out a ticket, Gu Shaocheng didn’t take it. He stood there, defiant and indifferent, leaning against his car.
Spectators surrounded him, constantly taking pictures of him with their phones, whispering to each other: "He must be a rich second generation or an official’s kid."
"Look at the watch on his hand, it’s a luxury watch, worth millions."
"Look at his car, it’s a luxury vehicle, and that license plate, seems to be a military one. We better not mess with him, let’s go."
"..."
Then there were those who were not afraid to cause trouble, standing by the side asking: "Is your father Li Gang?"
Most ordinary people despise the rich. Some started to jeeringly laugh.
Gu Shaocheng vowed, from the time he became the head of the Gu family, in all the years, he had never been so embarrassed. All alone, phone turned off, money but feeling helpless, the traffic cop not buying his exemption certificate because he had gone speeding and lost all the Hidden Guards who usually protected him. Now, not even a single soldier by his side. No matter how arrogant and superior he acts, no one is buying it. Damn it!
His eyes carried a weird smile, looking at the uncompromising traffic lieutenant, he grabbed the ticket and without glancing at anyone said, "Out of my way!"
The onlookers cleared a path, laughing and joking.
The traffic lieutenant was muttering something behind him, but Gu Shaocheng didn’t hear a word. He stood by the roadside, severely frustrated. A man who had never taken a taxi hailed one, opened the car door, slammed it shut and said, "Drive!"
"Sir, where do you want to go?"
"Just drop me off at a place that has a public telephone."
........................
Chenxing waits at the most visible position near the main gate, looking around and pacing back and forth.
Phew......
Why hasn’t he arrived? He wouldn’t leave me hanging, would he?
Should I call him to confirm?
Isn’t that a bad idea?
What if he was delayed by something and I bother him with a phone call. Would he think that I’m not a ’good girl’?
Wait a little longer.
Chenxing puffed up her cheeks, crouched by the roadside, holding her face in her hands, longing etched in her gaze....
