Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Sheng Tang Must Be Crazy
As soon as they left the villa gate, Gu Jiahui asked Sheng Tang, "Did I hit your arm just now?"
"No, it’s nothing serious," Sheng Tang replied.
Just a little pain, definitely not a muscle or bone injury.
Gu Jiahui was in a terrible mood.
He hurried to get in the car.
Sheng Tang quickly stopped him, "You’ve been drinking! Let me drive, you sit in the passenger seat."
At dinner, Gu Jiahui had a little to drink, while Sheng Tang did not. After all, at the entire dinner table, no one urged her to drink.
Gu Jiahui nodded.
He tossed the keys to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang got in the car, quickly started it, drove out of the villa area, then slowed down to drive back smoothly.
The car was very quiet.
Gu Jiahui remained silent, exuding a faint scent of alcohol.
Sheng Tang pondered for a long time before asking him, "Why did you argue with your dad? Was it because of me?"
"Yes."
"Your dad doesn’t like me," Sheng Tang stated honestly.
"How could he possibly like you?" Gu Jiahui said coldly, "You have neither a political background nor an economic backing; your parents are just university teachers.
You’re an artist, and he doesn’t need that now... naturally, he wouldn’t want us to get too involved."
This was the truth.
Sheng Tang never planned to marry into their family, so hearing this didn’t hurt her feelings at all.
"There’s no need for you to argue with him, especially during the New Year," Sheng Tang said.
Gu Jiahui didn’t respond.
Sheng Tang recalled the silence at the dinner table and asked, "Is celebrating the New Year always like this at home? Does everyone just eat without speaking?"
"It’s not just New Year, it’s like this all year round," Gu Jiahui sneered again. "This is good actually, my mom didn’t lose her temper today. Otherwise, you’d be drenched with soup and water. She doesn’t really dislike you."
It turned out that the indifferent Mrs. Gu was actually fond of Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang imagined that scene.
She thought the coldness at the dinner table today was terrifying.
Little did she know, there was something even more terrifying.
She shivered.
She understood Gu Jiahui’s mood swings now.
A child from such a family, it’s already good that he’s not psychologically twisted.
Gu Jiahui’s personality wasn’t particularly sunny, but he wasn’t dark either.
He was very ambitious about his career and friends.
"Why is it like this?" Sheng Tang asked him, "Why have your parents and family atmosphere become like this?"
"Don’t inquire," Gu Jiahui said.
Sheng Tang said nothing more.
When the car reached the apartment, they returned to their private little nest, and Sheng Tang poured two cups of hot water.
They sat on the sofa, each sipping their water without talking.
At ten in the evening, Sheng Tang received a text from Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting had already left the Gu Family with Zhou Yu and returned to Zhou Yu’s apartment, asking Sheng Tang, "When are you coming? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Sheng Tang saw it but didn’t reply.
She glanced at Gu Jiahui.
"Is Brother Lin Chuan home?" Sheng Tang asked him, "Do you want me to take you to your aunt’s house?"
"No need, my aunt and uncle have gone back to their hometown, my brother went to Sisi’s house for the New Year, they’re getting married next year," Gu Jiahui said.
Sheng Tang: "..."
For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
She couldn’t just leave him alone in this cold apartment.
Sheng Tang felt that he and Zhou Yu were the same; during the festive seasons, they seemed particularly miserable.
She was once like this too.
They looked so glamorous, but during family reunions, they had nowhere to go.
Sheng Tang bit her lip, made up her mind, and directly said to Gu Jiahui, "I’m planning to spend New Year’s Eve with Gu Shiting and Zhou Yu, will you come with me?"
Gu Jiahui looked at her in shock.
At that moment, he suspected there was a hole in Sheng Tang’s head.
