Gu Anxi looked down at her with a somewhat cold gaze.

After a moment, she smiled lightly, "Gu Mingzhu, why compare yourself to me with anything else, but you insist on mentioning your mom."

Gu Mingzhu sneered, "Even if you don’t admit it, Gu Anxi, you were born by her; she is your mom too!"

"She’s not." Gu Anxi’s voice was cold: "To me, she’s just Mrs. Tang. Gu Mingzhu, that person is dying of illness, asking everyone to take care of you, afraid you might turn bad, afraid you won’t live well in the future... You tell me, what do I have to compare with you, what do you envy about me, do you envy that I was abandoned by her since childhood?"

Gu Mingzhu’s gaze fell straight on her face, her lips moved, but she couldn’t say a word.

After a long time, she said hoarsely, "You hate us!"

She added, "Gu Anxi, why do you still care about me, wouldn’t it be better to let me fend for myself?"

"It would be nice." Gu Anxi sneered, "If you don’t care about those readers and fans, then go ahead and act recklessly, anyway, they can still admire others, but for yourself, Gu Mingzhu only exists once, mess it up and she’s gone."

She suddenly said awkwardly, "Actually, besides being a bit vain, a bit selfish, and lacking intelligence, you don’t really have any major flaws."

Gu Mingzhu sobered up half from the alcohol.

She stared blankly at Gu Anxi, took a while to come to her senses, and exploded slightly, "Am I that bad?"

"I’ve already put it very tactfully." Gu Anxi folded her arms, "It’s up to you now, are you coming back with me or continuing to wander here, I should tell you Gu Changqing has nothing to do with you, he won’t care about you. Only Min Xinnian remembers some old feelings and was willing to make this call for me to come here, by the way, I got paid, it wasn’t for free."

Gu Mingzhu sat dumbfounded on the ground, shocked by the bluntness.

Then, she burst into tears.

The crying was deafening.

Tears mixed with snot, and her pretty little face was all messed up, but she didn’t care, at most burying her face in her knees, immersing herself in her own world...

"I don’t understand what you’re crying about." Gu Anxi’s heart was as cold as iron: "You feel sad and can spend a fortune here drinking, while many people are struggling to survive. Gu Mingzhu, is your life just for your little personal feelings? You care about your readers and fans’ opinions, that’s just vanity, but you don’t really love them."

"Who says I don’t love them?" Gu Mingzhu shouted loudly at her: ’Gu Anxi, it was you who uploaded it, you destroyed the only thing I had.’

"It’s still here." Gu Anxi threw the phone to her: "Fool, I didn’t send it."

Gu Mingzhu snorted back the snot halfway, hurriedly picked up the phone to look.

Indeed, it wasn’t uploaded.

She looked foolishly at it, took a long time before she said softly, "Really not?"

Gu Anxi took the phone back: "Is it important whether it’s uploaded? You don’t really love them."

"I do love them." Gu Mingzhu’s voice was small, feeling snot was about to come out again, she immediately sniffed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Anxi felt amused yet impatient, Tang Yuan spent so many years raising her, only to raise a giant baby, once the person left, this giant baby didn’t even know how to live.

She put her hands in her pockets, turned her head to look at Bo Xichen: "Uncle, shall we... leave?"

Bo Xichen smiled faintly, without making any comments.

In matters like this, he’ll follow her lead. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Gu Anxi hummed a response, then linked her arm with his, chatting affectionately, "Let’s go have roasted lamb chops later, sprinkled with some cumin, delicious."

"..."

She mentioned several other foods, and with Bo Xichen, she walked farther and farther away.

Over there, Gu Mingzhu called out: "Gu Anxi."

Gu Anxi turned back, a playful smile on her face: "What, you want to eat lamb chops too?"

Gu Mingzhu stood up, walked over to her, and hummed softly: "I want to eat French cuisine."

Gu Anxi looked at her with a gaze as if she was insane, then dragged Bo Xichen away, Gu Mingzhu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet...

Gu Anxi didn’t let her.

"Hey." Gu Mingzhu shouted again: "Eating outside is dirty."

Gu Anxi ignored her, waved a hand behind her.

Gu Mingzhu hurriedly ran a few steps, slightly unsteady due to drinking a bit too much, but still barely caught up, grabbing Gu Anxi’s shoulder: "Gu Anxi, are you doing this on purpose?"

"On purpose for what?" Gu Anxi slapped her paw away, "Don’t you dislike eating lamb chops?"

Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips, then turned her little face aside, proudly said: "I don’t want to be alone."

"Then find an honest person to marry, and with your wealth, you can let him not work and stay with you every day." Gu Anxi said venomously.

Gu Mingzhu was infuriated again, "Gu Anxi, I’m only 20."

"Yes, only 20 and you’ve started learning bad habits in bars." Gu Anxi looked around: "There’s quite a few bad men who like picking up someone like you to take home, when you wake up..."

Gu Mingzhu’s face turned pale.

Gu Anxi rolled her eyes: "Eating lamb chops or getting picked up?"

...

"Eat lamb chops." Gu Mingzhu said reluctantly.

Then she shamelessly followed them, Gu Anxi dragging Bo Xichen’s arm, she shamelessly dragged the other arm, being glared at by Gu Anxi, she unwillingly let go, but instead shamelessly clung to Gu Anxi’s arm.

Gu Anxi rolled her eyes: "Giant baby."

And she was now entangled with a giant baby.

The giant baby complained: "When I met Brother Xichen, you were still playing with mud in Qingcheng."

"Then why didn’t you seize the opportunity? Oh, that time you liked Shen Congwen, I said you had bad taste, couldn’t even tell if Shen Congwen was male or female." Gu Anxi mocked her.

Gu Mingzhu was furious, tears spinning in her eyes, took a long time to grind her teeth: ’Gu Anxi, you’re still so annoying.’

’Keep hating me, I don’t want you to like me too much.’ Gu Anxi said breezily, unconcerned.

Gu Mingzhu: ... fuming.

Just as they were about to get into the car in the parking lot, Gu Changqing came over, holding a cigarette elegantly, must have been watching the show for a while.

Gu Mingzhu saw him, eyes shining differently, but then dimmed instantly.

Gu Anxi was right, she really had nothing to do with Gu Changqing, not as much as Gu Anxi, why did she think Gu Changqing would care for her?

She silently lowered her head, trying to avoid.

Gu Changqing walked directly in front of them, glanced at Gu Anxi, smiled: "Now she’s your responsibility?"

"No responsibility, I’m doing a paid job." Gu Anxi said straightforwardly.

Gu Changqing chuckled, looked towards Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu glanced at him pitifully, didn’t dare make a sound, subconsciously she wanted to please Gu Changqing a bit, amongst the remaining people she only had some feelings towards Gu Changqing, from childhood to adulthood always wanting to please him, but Gu Changqing never paid her attention.

Gu Changqing looked at her for a while, extinguished his cigarette, then asked: "Where are you guys going, heard you’re going to eat lamb chops, shall we go together?"

Gu Anxi stared at him, then suddenly smiled: "Brother, are you heartbroken?"

"Such a cheeky brat." Gu Changqing patted her little head, "Let’s go."
