Cyrysanthemum Garden (ABO desire)-Chapter 69 -:68

Gao Tu’s father has indeed settled in Jiangsu and Shanghai for many years. His main source of income is from Gao Tu’s support. But this month, he did not receive the living expenses that Gao Tu should have remitted to him on time.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is no longer in service."

... Gao Ming, who has been relying on his son for nearly ten years, never thought that one day, Gao Tu, who always responded to his requests, would disappear from the face of the earth.

After making several phone calls, Gao Ming got the message "the number is not in service". In a rage, he smashed the only intact chair in the house.

Sitting in the messy and dilapidated house, Gao Ming’s mind was working fast.

The old chandelier above his head emitted a dim light. An annoying mosquito buzzed low over the sky.

While Gao Ming was chasing the mosquito away, he looked up his daughter Gao Qing’s cell phone number.

Gao Qing just turned sixteen, a sickly girl who only knows how to spend money but not earn it. Gao Ming rarely has any one-on-one contact with her.

But Gao Tu loved his sister very much, and no matter how hard he worked, he never let her run short on food, clothing and other daily necessities.

Gaotu’s salary was actually very high. But Gao Qing’s illness and Gao Ming’s blood-sucking parasitism made him feel suffocated.

Shen Wenlang once commented: "Other people spend money like water, but Secretary Gao spends money like a waterfall. You eat coarse food all day long but can’t save any money, and you are tired and haggard all day long. Those who know you know that you are worried about your sister’s medical expenses, and those who don’t know you think you are taking drugs."

Gao Tu was so ashamed by what he said, but he couldn’t refute it because Shen Wenlang was right.

Although he is not a pleasant boss, he is surprisingly generous. Gaotu’s salary plus subsidies far exceed that of ordinary secretaries and are three times the industry salary standard.

But Gao Tu is still the same boy who had to work several jobs many years ago, was met by Shen Wenlang by chance in different places, and was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He is so poor and mediocre that he is incompatible with the naturally radiant Shen Wenlang.

Gao Qing’s call went through quickly. Gao Ming frowned and waited for a while at the light ringtone.

Finally, the call was picked up.

"Hello, who is this?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Your father." Gao Ming said.

Gao Ming hadn’t seen Gao Qing for seven or eight years. In his memory, the short and thin female Alpha was so timid that she would be blown away at the slightest wind.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

The sixteen-year-old Gao Qing didn’t seem to have made much progress compared to before. She was still so petty, and seemed to be frightened by the rude self-introduction on the other end. After a long while, she said, "Excuse me?"

"After receiving a call from me, you can’t even call me dad?"

"Yeah." Gao Qing said bluntly, "I don’t have a father."

Gao Ming flew into a rage and kicked over the peeling and deformed mesh trash can at his feet: "You disobedient thing! I’m not dead yet!"

"It’s better to die and live in peace." The weak little girl in Gao Ming’s impression has completely changed.

Gao Qing said sharply in a cold and thin voice: "If you die, your brother won’t have to suffer so much."

"Then why didn’t you die?" Gao Ming, who was furious, said sarcastically, "You spent much more money on that high-end hospital than I did! If you died, your brother wouldn’t have to be a burden to him!"

"Yes." Gao Qing sneered, "I have always wished that I could die. I don’t want to implicate my brother! It’s a pity that the King of Hell is blind and unwilling to accept me, so I have to drag my brother down alive."

"Then you can commit suicide!"

"Yes, I have thought about it and done it." Gao Qing told him coldly, "But my brother held me and wouldn’t let me jump off the building."

On the other end of the phone, the girl’s cold voice began to tremble slightly, and her breathing became unstable: "He begged me not to do it." This time the silence was longer than before. She seemed to take a long breath before saying: "That was the first time I saw my brother cry."

"Cry?" Gao Ming laughed. "What a joke. He’s useless and can’t make more money to support his family, so he still has the nerve to cry?"

"How embarrassed are you?" Gao Qing’s voice fluctuated even more. She was like a balloon that was stretched to its limit, suddenly expanding very large, big enough to protect Gao Tu who had given so much for her and her vampire father.

"You are such a grown-up, you have hands and feet but you don’t go to work. Not only do you idle around all day, but you also go gambling! I spent a lot of my brother’s money on medical treatment, but what about you? You sent all my brother’s money to the gambling table! How shameless!"

"Why should I be embarrassed? I am his father!

Without me, there would be no him! I gave you two life! It is only natural for you two to support me!"

"Bullshit life!" Gao Qing spat at him, "Did we agree?

You just gave us life! You don’t have any sense of responsibility, ambition, a stable job, or long-term planning! You have nothing but gambling at home, and you dared to give birth to us! You gave birth to us and made us suffer, and you still have the nerve to talk about gratitude?"

I don’t know when, the thin little girl who could only hide and cry behind her brother has changed. She has become sharp, mature, and dares to shout at her father over the phone.

"Stop talking about these useless things." Gao Ming couldn’t argue with her, and he didn’t want to waste time on her anymore, so he asked directly, "Where’s your brother? Where did he go? I need money, ask him to call me."

"My brother is sick, has no job and no money. If you want money, go and earn it yourself."

"What do you mean by no money?"

There was a sound of the living room door opening.

It must be Gao Tu coming back.

Gao Qing stopped paying attention to Gao Ming, quickly hung up the phone and walked out of the bedroom.

"Brother." She forced a smile at Gao Tu: "Did you buy what you wanted?"

Gao Tu was sweating profusely, his face showing an unhealthy grayish color. He hung the key behind the door, then turned around and smiled at Gao Qing, saying, "I didn’t buy it. The reference books in bookstores don’t seem to be that complete now, but I can choose some online tonight."

"Well, online shopping is more convenient." Gao Qing walked over, took the vegetables and fruits from his hand and said, "If you don’t feel well, don’t go shopping.

Takeout is also very convenient now."

"You’ve only been alive and kicking for a few days?

And you’re already thinking about eating takeout?" Gao Tu smiled and tapped her head gently: "It’s not easy to get healthy, don’t always think about torturing yourself."

"I just feel sorry for you." Gao Qing pouted and acted coquettishly with Gao Tu. Her cute and adorable appearance was completely different from the sharpness when she had just quarreled with Gao Ming.

"You’re already in this state, and you still don’t know how to save your strength."

"What’s wrong with me?"

"Pheromone disorder." Gao Qing’s expression became more serious: "This is a very serious disease.

You should have less contact with people." She pointed to her neck which was tightly covered with an inhibitor patch and continued: "Look, in order not to affect you, I now wear the inhibitor patch 24 hours a day. The doctor said that you need to stay in a vacuum environment that is completely isolated from Alpha pheromones to maximize your health. So, don’t run around all the time."

"knew."

"That’s good to know." Gao Qing put the vegetables and fruits into the kitchen. Gao Tu followed her worriedly, but she stopped him at the door: "I’ll cook today."

Gao Tu was both amused and confused: "Can you?"

"What’s so difficult about that?"

Unlike Gao Tu, Gao Qing has always been very smart. Even though she was hospitalized for many years and missed countless classes, her grades have always been among the best in her grade.

When Gao Tu left Jianghu, the thing she was most hesitant about was her transfer.

But Gao Qing was very rational and told him:

"Brother, you have already resigned. My household registration is with my father. I am not from Jianghu. The current admission policy is very strict. My student status is not in Jianghu, so there is no way for me to take the college entrance examination in Jianghu. So why don’t we go back to our hometown? I will transfer to a school there and take the college entrance examination locally.

The cost is also low."

Gao Qing is right.

Therefore, Gaotu agreed without any hesitation.

The living expenses in Jianghu are indeed very high. Although his household registration has always been with his mother, if he quits his job, he will not be able to contact the outside world. He has no place to settle down in Jianghu, nor does he have any reason to stay.

Although Hua Yong had contacted him privately and expressed his willingness to provide all the necessary help, Gao Tu was not that familiar with him, and there was really no reason for him to accept the friendly help of an Omega who was favored by Shen Wenlang.

He is not narrow-minded, but he is not that generous either.

Facing Hua Yong, a unique Omega that Shen Wenlang was willing to keep by his side, he was not without jealousy. And this jealousy made Gao Tu feel even more despicable and worse.

Hua Yong’s friendly attitude of wanting to help made Gao Tu feel even more uncomfortable.

His nobility and beauty once again highlight Gao Tu’s mediocrity and inferiority.

Mediocre love, base jealousy, and Gao Tu’s meaningless ten years of dedication to Shen Wenlang ... Gao Ming is at the end of his rope.

There was nothing valuable in the room. The most valuable and least valuable thing was his life.

The house he lives in is a rented one. If Gao Tu hadn’t paid the landlord regularly every three months, Gao Ming would have been left with no place to live.

But he still insisted on staying in Jianghu because compared to his hometown, only in Jianghu could he find underground casinos with huge transactions.

Although he always loses, Gao Ming believes that only a few people succeed.

With the dream of becoming rich overnight through gambling, Gao Ming still insisted on staying in Jiangsu and Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable.

But this time it seemed like he couldn’t stay any longer.

After Gao Qing hung up on him, his phone vibrated no less than twenty times in three minutes. The gangsters who made a living by lending money in the casino were pushing him to the point of boiling with anger.

It’s just a few hundred thousand yuan of foreign debt. Gao Ming thought disdainfully: Gao Tu’s salary for half a year is enough to pay off the debt, and I don’t know what those parasites are worried about.

Thinking of this, he spat.

Gao Ming was very tempted to beat up those scums who would throw paint on other people’s doors and post big-character posters saying "Pay your debts".

The reason why he didn’t rush out to beat people up was not because he was a coward, but because now was not the time to do that. His top priority was to find his son who had disappeared and ask him for money.

Living expenses, debts, gambling capital. All of these should be paid by Gaotu, who took his life from him and earned a high salary that ordinary people could not get in their lifetime.

Gao Ming had always been the envy of his gambling friends because only his children could always, under his coercion and inducement, take out a considerable amount of savings for him to use. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"If you don’t give me money, I’ll go to the hospital to find Gao Qing. You don’t want her to be scared, do you?"

"Is Gao Qing feeling better? Has she not been discharged from the hospital yet? If you don’t send me money, I, as her father, will go see her."

"Gao Tu, it would be nice if you were an Omega. I heard that an Omega with a high level of education is worth this much in one night."

Gao Ming has many tricks to "make money" with words alone.

Gaotu is his most generous listener and "employer".

So, now, he needs to find a higher path.
