Chapter 256: 256

Chapter 256 -  He hoped the Meng Zixin would come and work for him. (3)

After Gu Shao had walked out, he stayed outside the door and did not take off.

He didn’t stay inside the room because the child had grown and he shouldn’t be staying in her room.

He waited until there was no more noises coming from the inside and that he was certain that Gu Xi had fallen back asleep before he shut the door all the way.

At this time, Aunty Mei seemed to have been disturbed as well and came to give a worried look.

“What happened to Xiao Xi, Sir?”

“She had a nightmare,” said Gu Shao. After a little pause, he added, “Nothing serious. You don’t need to worry, Aunty Mei.”

Aunty Mei nodded, “Is she asleep? Do you want me to make her some food?”

“She had already gone back to sleep. You, too, should go and get some rest.”

“Alright,” said Aunty Mei.

She was about to walk away when Gu Shao stopped her again.

“Aunty Mei, do you think that Xixi will want to have a mother to care for her?” asked Gu Shao with a heavy voice.

Aunty Mei paused a little when she heard that and then she understood. Mr. Gu worried that he wasn’t doing a good enough job as a father.

Gu Xi’s situation was different. She seemed normal in appearance but her psyche was not as healthy as a child from a normal family.

She was sensitive, cautious, and fawn subconsciously, worried about not being liked. Those were what Aunty Mei had noticed.

Aunty Mei sighed and replied honestly, “Children her age naturally crave attention from their mothers.”

“But.” Aunty Mei switched gear and added, “Xiao Xi’s mother didn’t look like a nice person and had a lot of issues. From what I can tell, I don’t think Xiao Xi had a lot of hopes in her.

“Just give her more attention in the future, Sir.” Having said that, Aunty Mei added something that was not her place to say, “As for the future, if Xiao Xi is to have a new mother, I hope that Sir will take Xiao Xi’s feeling into consideration and it will be someone who will truly care for Xiao Xi.”

Gu Shao was taken aback a little when he heard Aunty Mei’s words. There was surprise in his eyes. He truly had never thought about that possibility.

Over at the Lin’s.

Song Kexin panicked and lost her usual self-confidence when she saw that the woman in the photo was Meng Zixin, Lin Yize’s puppy love.

Song Kexin dared not go to look for Lin Yize. As such, she had no choice but to wait at home.

Lin Yize did not get home until midnight. Seeing the aggrieved Song Kexin, this was the first time that Lin Yize did not try to comfort her. Instead, he ignored her and went upstairs.

“Hang on.” Song Kexin stopped Lin Yize and tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She asked, “Where did you go and who did you meet with?”

Lin Yize suddenly snickered when he heard Song Kexin’s inquiry. “Why are you asking me all those when you already have the answers?”

He would admit that his tone was not the best –– it had been 10 years since he saw the woman whom he loved and hated and Lin Yize had very complicated feelings about it. In addition, her attitude toward him also irritated him.

Lin Yize’s original plan today was to force shut down the Oceanic Transport Monitoring System project. Lo and behold, he had run into Meng Zixin.

After his initial surprised, he had a change of plan.

He took off with Meng Zixin from the banquet and broached the subject using their past as an entry point. Lin Yize had dropped plenty of hints that he wished for Meng Zixin to come work for him and help him on this particular matter.

Unfortunately, Meng Zixin adamantly rejected Lin Yize’s “olive branch” and the conversation was unpleasant. On their way out, Meng Zixin even turned down Lin Yize’s offer to give her a ride back.

After the setback with Meng Zixin and, now that he had seen a similar face, Lin Yize subconsciously taken out his anger on Song Kexin.
