Chapter 101: Chapter 101: How Is Your Father’s Health?
Gu Yan suddenly turned around and walked up to Tang Yuxiu. Tang Yuxiu thought she was coming to apologize, feeling a bit smug, only to see her reaching out and patting him all over.
Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly. What’s she trying to do with this random patting?
Then he saw Gu Yan pull a handkerchief out of his suit pocket, turn back, bend over, and carefully, gently wipe the piano keys clean. Finally, she closed the piano lid and exhaled slowly.
Tang Yuxiu, "..." His handkerchief was just used by her to wipe that piano!
Tang Yuxiu couldn’t understand Gu Yan’s affection and cherish for the piano, just like Gu Yan couldn’t understand why he was such a cleanliness freak.
Gu Yan stepped back a few steps, satisfied as she looked at the spotless, undamaged piano. She quickly took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of the piano, then switched to selfie mode to take a few photos with herself and the piano.
Tang Yuxiu disdainfully watched Gu Yan entertain herself, "Taking pictures is fine, but what’s with the peace sign? Vulgar! Aren’t you afraid of ruining the piano’s elegance?"
Gu Yan was busy taking photos from every possible angle with the piano, having no time to argue with him, she simply replied, "What do you know, peace signs are unbeatable."
Tang Yuxiu snorted, not understanding women’s thoughts.
Gu Yan happily took lots of photos, then plopped down on the sofa and began selecting the best ones to post on her social media.
Tang Yuxiu returned to his desk, spread out his files intending to work, and casually asked, "What did you do when you went out today?"
"Visited my dad at the hospital and looked for a job," Gu Yan answered casually, her attention still on the photos.
Visited her dad in the hospital? That sounded pretty convincing.
"Why are you looking for a job? Am I not capable of supporting you? Why put yourself through that hardship?"
"You being able to support me is one thing, me being independent is another. I don’t want to be left penniless, without even a job when you abandon me one day."
"Hmph, don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you some money to send you off before I abandon you."
"I don’t want your money," she said.
Tang Yuxiu squinted slightly, "You’ve already taken my money, and now you’re saying you don’t want any? It’s too late."
"That’s different. Before, I had no choice. But I don’t have any pressing needs now, so why would I want your money? As long as I can eat, I’m fine."
Gu Yan picked out several photos, created a collage, and posted it on her social media.
She looked over it a few times and felt immensely satisfied.
Tang Yuxiu listened to her unguarded casual words, feeling something was different. If she really wanted that million purely for profit, how could she answer so nonchalantly now?
"How’s your father’s health?" he suddenly asked.
"Thanks to your one million, he had the surgery the next day. His right leg just needs time to recover. As for the heart condition, proper care is enough, he’s doing quite well now."
Tang Yuxiu listened to her, frowning slightly, unsure whether to believe it or not.
Was she really just raising money for her father’s surgery?
A person’s words under unguarded, subconscious circumstances are supposed to be the most trustworthy.
At this moment, Gu Yan turned and waved her phone at him, smiling as she said, "Hurry up and add me on WeChat and like my photos on social media."
Tang Yuxiu looked at her speechlessly, temporarily putting aside his earlier doubts, "The phone’s here, take it yourself and add me."
