Chapter 431 - 431: Begging
At the Champion’s Restaurant in Haicheng, Guo Fu sent off the last reporter and gently massaged his waist.
Today, he had been standing from eight in the morning to ten at night. There was an endless stream of people in the restaurant. It seemed that he had to rest well tomorrow. The restaurant would be closed for a few days. If he continued to work like this, his old bones would be crippled sooner or later.
“You’ve worked hard, Old Guo.” Lu Xi served him a cup of warm tea.
A faint fragrance wafted through the tip of his nose. Looking at his beautiful newlywed wife, Guo Fu felt an indescribable sweetness in his heart.
The restaurant was making good profits, Guo Miao was promising, and Xuxu had been learning Chinese chess from her teacher. He was going to participate in the tournament next month. Guo Fu felt like he had used some kind of cheat code in his life to have gained so much in such a short time.
“It’s not hard at all. It’s even harder for you. You’ve been taking care of the kitchen.” Guo Fu patted Lu Xi’s shoulder. He was in a happy mood.
Just as the two of them were making out, there was a knock on the rolling shutter at the door.
Who would come over so late at night?
Guo Fu frowned and went to open the door.
When he opened the door, a woman was standing at the door. If it weren’t for Guo Hu behind her, Guo Fu would have almost recognized her.
This person was none other than Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu used to be a rich lady with a disdainful expression on her face.
Guo Fu still remembered her derision when she had thrown the check on the table.
To Cheng Yu, Guo Fu and the others were just the lowest level of commoners.
However, Cheng Yu seemed to be different now. She was wearing a tattered T-shirt and jeans, and her yellow hair stuck to her cheeks. She looked extremely weak as if she would fall to the ground in the next second.
How did Cheng Yu end up like this?
“Why are you here?” Guo Fu asked.
Lu Xi didn’t know Cheng Yu, but when she saw Guo Fu’s solemn expression, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“I want to see my daughter,” Cheng Yu took a deep breath and said.
“You guys have cut ties with Miao Miao previously. Now that you have nothing to do with her, don’t come over anymore.” Guo Fu was about to pull the door close to send the guests off when Guo Hu rushed over and grabbed Guo Fu’s hand.
“Uncle, 1 beg you. We can satisfy your needs. Can’t you just let my mother see her own daughter?” Guo Hu’s voice was filled with tears.
Last night, Guo Lin had come over and provoked Cheng Yu again till the latter almost died. She muttered Guo Miao’s name all day long as if she was possessed.
“Come in and talk.” Guo Fu looked at Guo Hu’s persistent expression and was a little unwilling to rebuke him.
Although the Guo family was not kind, Guo Hu had treated Guo Miao well before. He wanted to give Guo Hu some respect.
Guo Hu helped Cheng Yu to sit down in the restaurant.
Under the light, Cheng Yu’s thinness seemed more obvious. Her whole body was like a dehydrated fruit pit, and her face was full of wrinkles. She was clearly the same age as Guo Hu and the others, but she looked more than ten years older.
Lu Xi was also frightened and served them a cup of tea.
Cheng Yu held the cup of wheat tea and told Guo Fu and Lu Xi about his encounter.
Lu Xi and Guo Fu both felt a little sad.
Guo Ming hadn’t been home for at least a month. Instead, he had been hanging out with those indecent women outside.
The entire Guo family was on the verge of collapse.
Guo Fu had never thought that the Guo family would become like this.
“I don’t know when 1’11 suddenly leave. I may not be able to recover from this illness for a while,” said Cheng Yu.
She felt a little sad. Her illness was not a physical illness but a psychological one. She did not know when she would suddenly go crazy. Perhaps one day, she would quietly end her life in her dreams.
“I just want to see Guo Miao now. 1 just want to see her. This is not a big request.” Cheng Yu’s words carried a faint pleading tone.
Looking at Cheng Yu’s pleading expression, Guo Fu felt a little sad.
Guo Miao must have been very heartbroken when she was chased out by them back then. Now, they were pretending to be pitiful and wanted to see Guo Miao again. This was really unfair to Guo Miao.
“Uncle, 1 beg you, please give my mother a chance to atone for her sins and give her a chance to live,” Guo Hu said..
