CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 232 HE GOT DRUNK 1

Gu Group.

Gu Bohan walked out of the Chairman’s office, but did not see Gu Qingchen in the President’s office.

Gu Qingchen’s secretary immediately said, "Chairman, President Gu went to meet Director Lin because the Vice President failed to secure that piece of land!"

In fact, those at the bottom are the most innocent in a family power struggle.

Gu Bohan nodded, "What’s the situation now?"

"President Gu said he has already secured that piece of land," the secretary promptly conveyed.

"When will he be back?" Gu Bohan asked.

The secretary was somewhat anxious and fearful, "President Gu didn’t say!"

Gu Bohan signaled to the secretary to call Gu Qingchen, and she immediately dialed his number.

After she called out ’President Gu’, she was astonished, "May I ask who is speaking...?"

"I am Director Lin," the other party said.

"Director Lin, hello..." The secretary looked at Gu Bohan, and Gu Bohan took the phone, "Director Lin, how’s your father feeling?"

"Ah, it’s Chairman Gu!" Director Lin chuckled, "Thank you for asking, my father is doing well! By the way, this is Qingchen’s phone, he... drank some alcohol, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him, I am very happy..."

He burped while speaking...

There was also the sound of women accompanying the drinking and Gu Qingchen’s voice could be heard, "Big Brother Lin, let’s drink some more, we won’t go home until we’re drunk tonight... Now, no one should disturb us..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bohan also relieved his worries, "All right, you haven’t seen each other for a long time, drink to your heart’s content!"

Seeing that Gu Qingchen was beginning to adapt to business socializing and networking, Gu Bohan was naturally very happy.

Lakefront Villa.

Bei Ran let Madam Wu go to the countryside to visit her children, since Big Fish and Little Fish were not here, Madam Wu didn’t need to take care of them.

Madam Wu has three children, and taking the opportunity now that she had some time, Bei Ran granted her extended leave and even bought a lot of children’s clothes for her to take home.

"Miss Bei, thank you so much!" Madam Wu said gratefully, "You must be patient and wait for Mr. Gu to return, okay?"

"I know!" Bei Ran nodded her head, "You go back and rest for a while, don’t worry about the salary, it’s a paid leave."

She knew the worries of the working class; without a job or salary, one cannot rest easy even on leave.

"Miss Bei..." Madam Wu looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"Alright, go on now!" Bei Ran was not a harsh mistress; on the contrary, she was very considerate of others.

A mother who had worked so hard for so long felt truly happy and eager at the prospect of seeing her children.

And she, she did not know when she would be able to see her own child!

She knew there were two bodyguards at the door, hired by Gu Qingchen.

She was now unable to go anywhere!

Thus, she stayed at home.

At night, she didn’t know what she wanted to eat; Madam Wu had already taken the train away, and Bei Ran just didn’t feel like eating anything.

Bei Ran opened her notebook, although it was no longer fashionable to record things on paper, when she was a student, she liked to use notebooks to jot down words, and now was no exception.

Another day as the setting sun went down, the sunset in City A was particularly beautiful, especially an autumn sunset. Qingchen and I have had our longest fight in four years. Four years ago, I did not dare to imagine that after four years I’d still be with him. As the wheels of fate turn, I was brought to his side. Four years ago, marrying him was carefree; four years later, parting is heart-wrenching. Love has always been hurtful, but it is only with love that life feels complete. If heaven has feelings, heaven too will age, the righteous path in the world is vicissitudes.

As she wrote this, she heard the sound of a car returning.

Bei Ran went to the window and looked at the man getting out of the car!

He was being helped in, and her heart ached, she quickly put down her pen and then ran downstairs.

"Miss Bei, President Gu has drunk a bit too much!" A man in a suit said.

Bei Ran hurriedly supported Gu Qingchen, and said to the person who brought him back, "Thank you!"

He said, "Miss Bei, I should get going now!"

"Okay!" Bei Ran nodded her head.

The two bodyguards at the door stepped forward, flanked Gu Qingchen left and right, and helped him lie down in the hall.

Bei Ran approached, took a towel, and filled a basin with warm water to wash his face for him.

She knew that he was a man who liked cleanliness!

Moreover, this was the first time she noticed that he had gotten drunk!

"Qingchen..." Bei Ran called out with concern, "Are you alright?"

Gu Qingchen kept his eyes closed and did not speak, but his demonic handsomeness was marked by bright red flushes from alcohol.

Bei Ran sat beside him, gently caressing his face as she observed him in this state.

She didn’t speak either.

Silent companionship is also a sublimation of emotion.

The lights gradually brightened.

Bei Ran couldn’t remember how long it had been since they had been so close.

The scattered lights in the night gave a warm feeling.

She suddenly felt that just quietly watching over him was a rare luxury.

She reached out and took his hand in hers.

She didn’t say anything, letting her thoughts flow quietly like a gentle stream.

Suddenly at this moment, her phone rang.

Bei Ran picked up her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. She still answered it.

"Hello..." Bei Ran spoke softly, afraid of waking Gu Qingchen, even though she knew that a drunken him wouldn’t be easily disturbed, but an unconscious gesture made her do so anyway.

"How’s our little brother Qingchen doing..." Officer Lin laughed heartily on the phone.

Bei Ran was surprised, noticing that he seemed very familiar with Gu Qingchen and also knew about him drinking tonight.

However, she still worried whether he was someone sent by Gu Bohan!

Though her mind raced with thoughts, Bei Ran kept her composure, and responded, "I’m cooking dinner right now, tonight’s meal includes steamed Osmanthus fish, sautéed broccoli with squid, Hakka stuffed tofu, and a very delicious soup, which is tea tree mushroom and pork rib soup..."

Before Bei Ran could finish her sentence, the phone was taken from her hand.

She turned her head to see that it was Gu Qingchen.

He propped himself against the wall and took over the phone, "Big brother Lin, it’s me..."

Officer Lin laughed, "It seems you’re in for a splendid dinner tonight!"

"When you’re free, I’ll invite you over for home cooking. Bei Ran’s cooking skills are great!" Gu Qingchen said with a smile on his lips.

Bei Ran listened quietly from the side, she hadn’t expected that this person really had a close brotherly relationship with Gu Qingchen, and she had naturally diverted the conversation to prevent others from knowing Gu Qingchen was with her.

Officer Lin said, "You left your phone with me, indeed Father called, and also, I played him the recording you’d left here in advance; he should believe that you were with me drinking tonight..."

"Good!" Gu Qingchen’s eyes were clear and distant like mountains.

"Alright then, I won’t keep you," Officer Lin said, "I’m going to have some tea, I’ll come home reeking of alcohol, and my wife will surely nag me all night..."

"Mmm..." Gu Qingchen put down the phone.

He looked at Bei Ran standing by his side, who took the phone from his hand, her gaze also on him.

"How about it? Shall I make you a cup of tea?" Bei Ran helped him sit down.

She brewed a cup of West Lake Dragon Well tea for him, its clear and delicate flavor in a white and transparent glass.

The warm tea met Gu Qingchen’s lips.

He took a sip, and Bei Ran sat by his side, "Does it feel bad? Do you want to go upstairs and take a shower?"

"No need," Gu Qingchen said lightly, "Why aren’t you having dinner?"

"I’m not hungry yet!" After saying this, Bei Ran saw him close his eyes again.

Seeing that he remained silent for a while, she asked, "How much did you drink tonight?"
