Chapter 494 "Honest advice is hard to hear."
Qiao Nian walked into his bedroom and saw the quilt on the bed was neatly made.
One of his advantages is that he likes cleanliness.
No matter how busy he was, he would make the bed before leaving.
This is a habit and also a personal quality.
His bed sheets were changed every day. Qiao Nian lifted his quilt and found a photo inside.
It's their family photo, with their two children and his wife.
Oh ~
It’s the ex-wife.
Qiao Nian didn’t know why such a beautiful woman would marry him?
I don't understand how they go on with their lives.
Gu Jinwei is a very boring person. Apart from having a good time outside, he is almost silent when he returns home.
He is actually quite lonely, but it is also retribution.
Qiao Nian indeed thought so. Looking at the adorable children in the photo, their looks were a perfect replica of their parents.
It is said that like fathers, like sons, like daughters. This child from a wealthy family does have an extraordinary temperament.
They must have been very happy at that time, otherwise why would they smile so happily.
The first time I saw Gu Jinwei smile, his smile was so... annoying.
Qiao Nian placed the photo on the bedside table and began to change the sheets.
Her job is simple, just cleaning.
It sounds simple, but it is actually not that easy. You have to suck it first and then shine it with a disinfecting ultraviolet light.
Rich people are particular.
After the cleaning was completed, Qiao Nian walked out with the changed bedding.
The room was spotless, without a single fingerprint in any corner.
The same thing happened in the bathroom, where new towels were replaced, the bathroom was disinfected and sterilized, and the door was closed.
The star rating standard is just like this.
Back in the laundry room, she thought about the photo as she washed the sheets.
It seems like happy moments are easily contagious.
What made him become what he is now? In other words, why did he become a different person?
Perhaps only Aunt Rong can give the answer to this question.
"Have you finished washing Mr. Gu's sheets?"
Aunt Rong came over with a cup of warm tea in her hand.
Qiao Nian raised his eyes and looked at her:
"Aunt Rong, why did you come out?"
Aunt Rong looked a little unhappy.
"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well."
Her age is prone to disease, and when she was young she overdrew her body in order to make money.
Now it's time to pay back the debt.
Qiao Nian was a little worried and took the cup from her hand:
"Go back and lie down, I'll do the rest of the work."
Qiao Nian is a very good child and knows how to be grateful. Aunt Rong looked at her:
"I may have to leave for a while, so I'll have to leave the task of taking care of Mr. Gu to you."
Leave it to her?
Qiao Nian didn’t have time to hide, what happened?
"Aunt Rong, where are you going? When will you be back?"
It's not just because of myself, but more because I care about her.
"I'm going back to my hometown. I haven't been back for a long time."
After such a long period of contact, this was the first time I heard Aunt Rong mention her hometown.
"Where is your hometown?"
Aunt Rong took a deep breath:
"It's in a small town in the south, so there probably aren't many people there."
There was a hint of sadness in her voice, as if she had anticipated the sadness.
Qiao Nian could empathize because she also came from a very small place.
The backwardness there is like two different worlds, but they want to change their fate and integrate into this world.
"Aunt Rong, do you have a husband?"
There was a hint of heartache in Qiao Nian's voice, and Aunt Rong could hear it:
"Yes, but we're divorced."
"And your children?"
Aunt Rong smiled faintly:
"I'm in college and I'm about to graduate."
It must be difficult to raise a child alone.
Although Qiao Nian does not understand the warmth and coldness of human nature, he knows the cruelty of the world.
Aunt Rong, who has a kind face, turns out to be a miserable person.
Yes, there are too many miserable people in this world, and it has nothing to do with their status.
She just missed home. People really do miss home when they are at their most vulnerable.
"How long will you be gone?"
This was the answer Qiao Nian wanted most, but unfortunately she couldn't answer it.
Aunt Rong smiled, patted her shoulder, and turned to leave.
That day was their last conversation, and Aunt Rong never appeared again.
Unfortunately, Qiao Nian didn’t know at that time that it was the last time they saw each other.
If time could go back, she would like to say goodbye to her properly.
Aunt Rong packed her luggage, made Gu Jinyan's bed for the last time, changed his bath towel, and then helped him clean the room.
She has been by his side for more than 20 years, and during these twenty years, she has devoted all her energy to him.
So much so that her daughter often complained about her not fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother.
But who can understand that she is just an ordinary person, not a god.
She can't take care of everyone, nor does she have the ability to make money and be with her family at the same time.
So, her husband left her and her daughter kept ignoring her.
She is miserable, just like the saddest person in life.
"Mr. Gu, I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow."
Gu Jinyan had just come out of the shower, his hair still dripping with water, and glanced at Aunt Rong.
In fact, you don’t need to tell him about asking for leave to go home, just go to Uncle Li.
Maybe she wanted to say goodbye.
"Do you want a driver to take you there?"
Gu Jinyan never treated her as a servant, but always as a family member.
Aunt Rong is a few years older than him and takes care of him like an older sister.
Her complexion hasn't been very good recently, but Gu Jinyan didn't notice it.
I just feel that her hands and feet are not as nimble as before.
Aunt Rong smiled faintly:
"No, I'm just telling you."
Gu Jinyan didn't care. He took the towel she handed over and said while wiping his head:
"Well, go to Uncle Li and get an extra half year's salary, and ask him to reimburse you for your travel expenses back home."
Gu Jinyan has always been generous to his servants, which is more than most wealthy people.
Aunt Rong turned around to leave, but backed away when she reached the door.
She had more to say, but hesitated.
Gu Jinyan felt that she was a little strange today. She never talked much.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Gu Jinwei didn’t know that this was the last time they met, the last time they would see each other in this life.
Aunt Rong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke:
"Boss Gu, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Her problems were nothing more than trivial matters, and if she needed help, Gu Jinyan would definitely agree.
She looked at Gu Jinyan and remembered that when he was a child, he was most afraid of thunder.
He often ran into her room and hid under her covers.
He was only a few years old at that time, and now it seems that she can no longer protect him.
Aunt Rong was sold here when she was very young. The hometown that she had vague memories of has long since changed.
"Mr. Gu, you have to take care of yourself and stop being depressed. In fact, the person who loves you the most may be yourself.
The children have grown up, maybe one day they will come back to you.
At that time, I hope you can be their role model, stand up again and let it go. "
No one dared to say what Aunt Rong said.
Everyone knows that Gu Jinyun is paranoid, so are the four words "honest advice is unpleasant to the ear" really important?
