After severing ties, the cold-blooded family regretted it

Chapter 20 Uncle Zhang’s Care!

In the fast food restaurant, Gu Chi crossed his arms and looked impatiently at the woman sitting opposite him.

"If you have something to say, just say it now. I'm a bit busy and don't have time to talk nonsense with you here." Gu Chi turned his face away and didn't even want to look at her.

"Gu Chi, are you really planning to just go on like this?" Lu Meng leaned slightly against the back of the chair.

"What else? The Lu family and I have already signed an agreement, and it's written in black and white." Gu Chi turned his head and glanced at Lu Meng, as if he had thought of something. "By the way, you are a businessman, do you want the Lu family to pay me child support for the past two years?"

Hearing this, Lu Meng frowned slightly and said, "You know that's not what I meant."

"It was you who wanted to bring me back in the first place, so it's reasonable for you to raise me. So I won't pay this money even if you want it." Lu Chi now has nothing to say to the Lu family.

During the two years at the Lu family, all the expenses were not even as much as Aunt Wu's two months salary.

If they don't mind it being embarrassing, they can take the case to court, and then they will be the only ones who will be embarrassed.

"Gu Chi, could you please stop misunderstanding me like this?" Lu Meng really had no way to defend herself. Gu Chi was now stubborn and believed that she was here to embarrass him.

"Hehe..." Gu Chi smiled coldly, now let them taste the feeling of being unable to speak.

The grievances and injustices she felt now were nothing compared to what she had endured in the Lu family.

Lu Meng seemed to sense Gu Chi's emotions, and then took a deep breath: "I also know the grievances you have suffered at home. I came here today just to have a good chat with you."

Then he put a card on the table and said, "This is a card with some money in it. You are about to take the college entrance examination. Going out to make money by yourself will only distract you. This at least won't make your life too hard."

It is true that Lu Meng feels sorry for Gu Chi now. Her previous attitude towards Gu Chi was completely based on interests.

And this time, she truly looked at her brother from the perspective of a sister.

"I'm sorry, I can still support myself now. You should take the money back. I can't afford it." After saying that, he stood up and left without giving Lu Meng any chance behind him.

On the way back to the rental house, Gu Chi looked at the pair of white sneakers on his feet, and his big toe was about to break through the layer of cloth.

Even the white T-shirt on his body was washed to the point where only a layer of cloth was left.

A small hairpin for Lu Mengguang was even more expensive than what he earned in these days.

If someone like him were to be told, no one would believe that he was the 'young master' of the Lu family.

He had suffered so much humiliation in the Lu family, and it was not something that could be smoothed over with just a card from her.

Besides, he didn't want the Lu family's money, and who knew what tricks they were playing.

After returning home, Gu Chi just took a short rest and then took out the thick test paper again.

The room was a little stuffy, and Gu Chi felt almost like he had been washed by water.

"What kind of shitty weather is this? It's still so hot and humid at this late hour." Gu Chi simply took off his T-shirt.

The wound on my back was hot and painful because it was soaked with sweat. I became irritated and couldn't concentrate on solving the questions.

"Gu Chi..." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Who is it?" Gu Chi walked out while putting on his clothes.

But then I saw Lao Zhang walking in from the door with a smile on his face, followed by a burly man.

"Uncle Zhang? What brings you here so late?"

"It's nothing, just go and move the things in." Old Zhang smiled naively and told the man beside him to go out and get the things, "He's my son..." As he was speaking, Old Zhang's son actually moved in an old air conditioner from outside.

"This is..." Now, Gu Chi was even more confused.

"This kid has some money to burn and insists on buying a new air conditioner. This old one is obviously still in good condition, but he just doesn't want it. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and you are about to take the college entrance examination, so I'll give this one to you." Old Zhang's honest face was full of sincerity.

"I'm just worried that you'll find it too old..."

"No, no." Gu Chi waved his hands repeatedly, "Uncle Zhang, you really are my timely rain. I'm feeling very hot right now. It's really great to have air conditioning now."

Although it was an old air conditioner, Gu Chi couldn't let it go and kept circling around it.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'm glad you don't mind. Your brother happens to be at home, so let him install it for you tonight."

Uncle Zhang's son took out the tools and started working. Fortunately, there was no need to drill a hole in the wall, only a hole in the glass.

Although it was simple, the three of them still worked on it for a while.

With a 'ding' sound, the air conditioner started successfully.

I have to thank the person who invented the air conditioner. He is so amazing. Such a small box can blow out such cool air.

"Okay, it's getting late, so we two should go back. You should have a good rest." Old Zhang kept nagging while packing up his tools.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhang..." He didn't expect that an elder whom he had only known for a few days would treat him better than those so-called family members.

"What are you thanking me for? If you have any problems in the future, just tell me. We live in the same village and it's only right that I take care of you since you're so young." Old Zhang really felt sorry for the child.

At such a young age, he has to balance studying and making a living on his own.

This is because the child is smart. No one else can do this.

With the help of air conditioning, Gu Chi's previous irritability had long gone away, and he raised his hand to look at his watch.

You can also make another set of rolls, tear open the coffee bag, and get triple the blessing.

I used to think that this black stuff was hard to swallow, but now I realize that it is really a treasure that can refresh the mind.

After gulping down a large cup of black coffee, Gu Chi, who was originally a little drowsy, suddenly became refreshed.

Looking at the oldest MP3 player in his hand, Gu Chi felt mixed emotions.

This was a birthday gift given to him by his adoptive mother. Although they were very poor at that time, his adoptive mother loved him from the bottom of her heart and left all the best things for him.

I pressed the power button and a familiar song floated out.

Gu Chi carefully stroked the screen, a faint smile on his lips: "Mom, I will definitely get into a good university this time."

The carbon pen makes a rustling sound when scratching on the paper. It is in excellent condition!
Suddenly, the music in the headphones changed.

Gu Chi stopped moving his hands for a moment. The familiar music and soft voice made Lu Ning's face appear in his mind.

These songs were all secretly downloaded by him from the singing software, and they were sung by Lu Ning.

These used to be his favorites, but now he just felt nauseous in his stomach.
