Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 68 -:67

I never want to see Gaotu again.

Having said that, his mood was out of control. The more Shen Wenlang didn’t want to think about Gao Tu, the more he would think of him involuntarily.

Just like now, he was unwilling to think of Gao Tu in a crowded banquet, and unwilling to be distracted all day long because of a dispensable secretary, but he just couldn’t do it.

Shen Wenlang couldn’t just forget about that damn Beta.

Whenever Shen Wenlang thought about the fact that Gao Tu’s phone number was no longer in service and that Gao Tu was now in some remote corner, he became uneasy.

Gao Tu is not the kind of person who would disappear without a trace for no apparent reason. He must have encountered some real difficulty but was unable to ask for help from the outside world, so he just disappeared.

This kind of thing happened many years ago.

At that time, Shen Wenlang had just met Gao Tu.

For a long time, Shen Wenlang knew that there was a "snail girl" around him, who would often bring him drinks and food. But unlike those who paid to please him, this "snail girl" was always sneaky and made silent contributions that no one knew about.

At first, Shen Wenlang was wondering why there were always some snacks or drinks in his desk that just suited his taste.

Out of precaution, Shen Wenlang didn’t intend to eat it at first.

However, after a certain exercise, he was really hungry.

Just as Shen Wenlang was hesitating whether to throw away the food, a gentle voice came from behind him.

"Well... these are all fresh foods, all wrapped in plastic, not dirty. It’s such a waste to throw them away like this every time."

"Did you buy it? Why do you care so much?" After being criticized, Shen Wenlang subconsciously attacked back.

Turning his head, he saw a flushed face.

To this day, Shen Wenlang still remembers that scene. Gao Tu had the most common short haircut among teenagers when he was a student, and his rosy face was almost buried in the collar of his washed-out blue school uniform.

How could there be such a clumsy idiot.

That was Shen Wenlang’s first impression of Gaotu.

The second thing that impressed Shen Wenlang was that Gao Tu worked four part-time jobs during the summer vacation.

Shen Wenlang met him at KFC, a fruit supermarket, a library and a convenience store in one day.

"Are you quadruplets?"

Gao Tu’s face flushed red again. He lowered his head and looked away: "A total of two hundred and forty-seven dollars and eighty cents."

Shen Wenlang took the plastic bag he pushed over, stared at his red neck and face, and said, "What are you doing during your summer vacation? Field research in the service industry?"

"I..." Gao Tu lowered his head even lower, his eyes drooped behind his black-framed glasses, and his lips trembled with shame.

"You what?" Shen Wenlang found it very interesting and asked him, "Is working everywhere your hobby?"

"No." Gao Tu lowered his head, staring at a spot on the table where the paint was chipped and broken, and said, "I..." His face flushed as if he was choked by something, as if he was not encountered by classmates from the same school while working during the summer vacation, but was arrested by the police for theft, and was so embarrassed that he couldn’t even stand steadily.

Shen Wenlang said "Oh" and looked at him mischievously: "Classes will start in a few days, have you finished your homework?" Seeing that Gao Tu didn’t answer, he said again: "How much money can you make from working? Studying hard is the real thing."

The lights of the convenience store were pale and dim, looming over Gao Tu’s head.

Shen Wenlang was looking down at him and could only see his lips moving nervously.

Gao Tu seemed to have a lot to say, but every word was inappropriate. Even if he had a great reason, he couldn’t say it at this time.

A few days later, school started. Gao Tu was scolded by his head teacher for not completing his summer homework on time and was sent to stand in the corridor outside the office as punishment.

It was not until much later that Shen Wenlang realized that Gao Tu did not fail to finish his homework because he was lazy, and he did not work four jobs for the purpose of conducting investigations.

It was because Gao Tu’s father lost all the tuition fees that Gao Tu had saved for several semesters, forcing him to take unplanned work to raise the tuition fees.

The day he learned the truth, Shen Wenlang felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been stabbed by a needle. After class, he made a detour to the convenience store where Gaotu worked part-time and gave him a bottle of sea buckthorn juice.

Gao Tu had kept the bottle of orange juice in the deepest part of the bookcase, and had never been willing to drink it. Until it went bad.

... Halfway through the tea party, Hua Yong, who stood up to get the cupcake, tripped over her left foot and fell unsteadily into Sheng Shaoyou’s arms, then apologized with a red face . 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This naturally thick-skinned madman was addicted to pretending to be weak. Shen Wenlang couldn’t bear to watch it, so he could only turn his head and pretend to be blind.

But Hua Yong’s tricks seemed to be really effective.

Sheng Shaoyou held him steadily, frowning in a somewhat reproachful manner: "Why are you so careless?"

Hua Yong apologized to him softly again, and under the gaze of everyone, Sheng Shaoyou helped him sit back down.

For a moment, everyone’s attention was attracted by him. Everyone was curious about who this beautiful Lanhua was, who dared to blatantly steal the fiancé of the boss of X Holdings in front of Chang Yu.

Only Hua Yong himself was having a great time.

He obviously enjoyed Sheng Shaoyou’s attention to him very much and did not miss any opportunity to act pitiful and attract attention.

Chang Yu was used to this and watched calmly as his master and his male Daji flirted in public. He maintained his decorum very professionally and dealt with the unnecessary prying and concern from all sides.

After the tea party, Sheng Shaoyou returned to Shengfang Biological.

Hua Yong accompanied him all the way to the company gate, and then went home alone.

On the way home, Hua Yong’s car was blocked by a silver-gray commercial vehicle.

"Master, a car is stopping us." said the driver helplessly.

Hua Yong closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat with his head half tilted up. Without even looking up, he said, "Bump into it."

"But, that’s Mr. Shen’s car."

Hua Yong opened his eyes and saw Shen Wenlang getting out of the car with a dark face. He rolled down the window and said, "What a coincidence."

"What’s a coincidence?" Shen Wenlang said, "I chased you all the way. I honked the horn so loudly! Are you deaf?"

"Can you talk properly?"

"Let’s find a place where we can talk. I have something to tell you."

Hua Yong looked at his watch and nodded, "I can give you thirty minutes, but——" "But what?"

"But I have something to do tonight, so I have to leave in thirty minutes at most."

"Twenty minutes is enough." Shen Wenlang said, frowned slightly, and said disdainfully: "When did you start wearing a watch?"

Hua Yong deliberately put his wrist on the car window frame and said proudly, "Mr. Sheng gave it to me."

Shen Wenlang rolled his eyes: "Mr. Sheng, Mr.

Sheng, aren’t you tired of calling me that?"

"Not boring." Hua Yong smiled again: "I won’t get tired of it in this life or the next."

Shen Wenlang randomly found a club nearby. The waiter made them a cup of tea and then tactfully left.

"The Gaotu phone number is no longer in service."

"oh."

"What do you mean, oh?"

Hua Yong picked up the teacup slowly and said, "It makes sense that if you cancel your number, it will become an empty number."

"What’s reasonable?" Shen Wenlang’s forehead was throbbing with veins: "Why would he cancel his number for no reason?"

"Who knows, maybe he wants to say goodbye to the past? Stay away from bad people or things."

"What terrible person?" Shen Wenlang took out his lighter irritably and lit a cigarette skillfully.

He actually seldom smoked in the past, and even Hua Yong didn’t know that he still had the habit of smoking.

As early as the age of 17 or 18, Shen Wenlang had already started smoking secretly. But in recent years, under Gao Tu’s supervision, Shen Wenlang has quit smoking for a long time.

But recently he was really annoyed, and without smoking he couldn’t get rid of the thoughts about Gaotu in his head.

But the reality is that even if he smokes two packs of cigarettes a day, Shen Wenlang still can’t stop thinking about Gaotu.

"What should I do now?" He blew out a smoke ring fiercely, his fingers touching the metal lighter Gao Tu gave him without moving, and said viciously: "I can’t even find him now."

Hua Yong raised his eyes in surprise: "You went to find him?"

Shen Wenlang reluctantly said "hmm", paused and said: "The house in his hometown is not a place for people to live at all!"

Hua Yong laughed: "Are you heartbroken?"

"Who, who feels bad?"

"Whoever feels sorry for you knows." Hua Yong looked at his watch and reminded him, "You still have eleven minutes. Ask me if you have anything to say. I have to leave first."

"He didn’t go back to his hometown, didn’t join another company, cancelled his mobile phone number, and didn’t use his ID card to rent another house. Where do you think he would go?"

"How should I know?"

"After all, we are classmates and colleagues. If anything happens to him, I can help him."

"I don’t necessarily need your help."

"What do you mean?"

Hua Yong gently blew on the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Secretary Gao already has her own child and will have her own family in the future. You just said that you were just classmates and colleagues. As an outsider, why are you so concerned?"

Shen Wenlang was stunned by his question. He stared with his eyes wide open and could not speak.

Your own children? Your own family? Outsiders?

Didn’t Gao Tu register his marriage with that Omega? How did he have his own family? In addition, before that Omega produced a notarized paternity test, Shen Wenlang would never admit that the dirty Omega’s baby was Gao Tu’s!

Damn it! He is the one who got the upper hand! I really want to throw this damn Omega into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

"Wen Lang." Before the conversation ended, Hua Yong reminded Shen Wen Lang in a friendly way:

"Secretary Gao’s father has been in Jianghu. Can you contact him?"

Shen Wenlang raised his head with great vigilance and asked him, "How do you know where Gao Tu’s father is?"

Although Sheng Shaoyou was not present, Hua Yong still managed to smile gently at Shen Wenlang, and her eyes clearly revealed her concern for the "love-disabled person": "There are two old sayings in the Heavenly Dynasty: It is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Wenlang, I am saving you. When you catch up with Secretary Gao, remember to thank me."
