Chapter 286: Testing From All Angles (6)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mr. Gu is acting strangely these days. He used to fill his time in the evening with social engagements as much as possible, but now, he tries to refuse all social engagements in the evening.
He asks me to drive him to the shopping mall everyday before six o’clock. Then each time, he brings home a luxury good from a different brand.
These days, Mr. Gu seems like a family-oriented man.
However, except for him, no one knew that before Mr. Gu left home in the morning, he had a smile on his face. However, the moment he got into the car, he immediately switched to a cold face and kept it the whole day. When he went home in the evening with a gift in his hand, he converted back to his look from the morning, gentle and cultivated.
Xiaowang had been with Mr. Gu for such a long time that he knew Mr. Gu’s character completely. He could see that Mr. Gu actually hadn’t been happy for the past few days, but he didn’t understand why he pretended to be so happy when he returned home.
After staring at the computer’s screen for a long time, Gu Yusheng’s eyes felt sore and painful. When he raised his hand to rub his eyes, he glanced at Xiaowang, who was standing by the desk. Gu Yusheng asked lazily, “What’s up?”
Xiaowang stopped his wandering mind and handed the documents to Gu Yusheng politely. “Here are the documents that require your signature. Here is what will be used in the meeting this afternoon. And here are some financial statements…”
Gu Yusheng heard Xiaowang saying many words, but he couldn’t remember a word. At last, when Xiaowang finished his words, he didn’t utter a word, but waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Xiaowang put the documents on the desk, not leaving immediately as he usually did.
If it had been in the past, Gu Yusheng would have been angry, but that day, he wasn’t in the mood to vent his anger. He lowered his eyes and rubbed his temple, waving his hand again.
“Mr. Gu, here is a letter…”
Before Xiaowang finished his words, Gu Yusheng suddenly stood up and took the letter from his hand.
Xiaowang was stunned. Before he pulled himself back to reality from Gu Yusheng’s dramatic reaction, Gu Yusheng had already torn open the envelope, taken out the letter, and read it.
Reading rapidly, when Gu Yusheng saw A’s answer to his question from his last letter, he read it line by line, slowly and carefully. He seemed to be afraid he would miss important information.
“If a woman doesn’t want to spend a man’s money in any case, there are only two reasons: she loves him deeply, or she doesn’t love him at all.
“If it is love, it means that a woman is afraid of being regarded as a girl who uses people because she’s spending a man’s money. Of course, it is also possible that a woman wants to live with a man all her life. Thus, she is saving money for that man.
“If it isn’t love, it means that the woman regards the man as an outsider, and doesn’t think about any contact with him in the future, so to avoid trouble, she doesn’t want to owe him anything.”
…
So the little troublemaker doesn’t spend my money. It is because of love or not?
At first, it was her who badgered my grandfather to marry me. Maybe she loves me a little.
But if she loves me… Why doesn’t she look at the gifts I send her outside of the first time she sees them…
Does it mean…. It’s just as A said, that she regards me as an outsider, thinking about having no contact with me in the future?
Gu Yusheng had thought that A’s reply would help him solve the troubles that haunted him those days, but he hadn’t expected it to become more serious, so he did everything in an absent-minded condition that day.
