Chapter 554: Accompanying Old Master Cui
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huang Jun’s expression darkened for a moment. “Manman, you have to pick a good gift this time. I’ll pay. Since Old Master Cui is willing to bring you out, it means that he acknowledges you. You have to be grateful.”
“Got it,” Gu Man quickly agreed. Afraid that they would continue, she took her phone and walked to the door. “I’ll get going first. If there’s anything, contact me on your cell phone.”
Gu Man left in such a hurry because she did not want to take Huang Jun’s money. Although she did not know Huang Jun’s current job, she could tell from his working hours that it was definitely not an easy job.
And he had been looking more and more tired recently. Although Gu Man’s heart ached, she could not take out a large sum of money for no reason.
She could only wait for Old Master Zhang’s company to make Huang Jun relax.
Recently, she could only try her best to persuade him to work less. It was just that Huang Jun was too stubborn. No matter how tired and difficult his work was, no matter how little his salary was, he was unwilling to resign.
Gu Man put away her thoughts and went to the Cui Family.
After arriving at the Cui Family, other than Old Master Cui waiting for her in the courtyard, Ah Mai was also sitting obediently by the courtyard. When he saw Gu Man coming, he jogged to her side and tugged at Gu Man’s clothes.
“Sister, Brother…” Ah Mai stammered. Because he did not like to talk for a long time, his words were not very clear.
However, Gu Man immediately understood Ah Mai’s words. “You want to look for the brother from last time, right?”
Gu Man did not expect that the two of them would leave such a deep impression on All Mai after just playing with him once. Then it seemed that Huang Jue could come here more often in the future to help with Ah Mai’s illness.
Old Master Cui stood at the side and listened in confusion. He subconsciously asked, “Which brother? Why didn’t I know?”
“It’s the little boy who came with me last time.” Gu Man rubbed Ah Mai’s head, straightened up, and looked into Old Master Cui’s eyes.
Old Master Cui narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. Clearly, he had captured it in his memory. He nodded in understanding, and his eyes immediately lit up. “Does that mean that Ah Mai has recovered and is willing to interact with other children?”
As he spoke, Old Master Cui’s voice was trembling. No one knew how long he had been looking forward to this day.
When Gu Man heard this, she shook her head. “It might just be an exception. The details still depend on how Ah Mai interacts with others.”
Because of Ah Mai’s extremely high IQ, he was incompatible with others at this age. The reason why he could have a conversation with Huang Jue was probably because Huang Jue was smarter than the others.
Actually, the most fundamental reason for Ah Mai’s autism was because their intelligence did not match. It was just like how adults could not understand what children were thinking, and children could not understand what adults were thinking.
There was still a hint of disappointment in Old Master Cui’s eyes, but he quickly adjusted his expression. “I’m already satisfied with Ah Mai’s current state. Man, thank you.”
Old Master Cui’s words were especially sincere and sincere. Gu Man waved her hand. “Since Ah Mai and I are family, this is what I should do.”
Old Master Cui’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He revealed a gratified expression. “Girl, I’m really happy that you think that way.”
Looking at the smile on Old Master Cui’s face, Gu Man couldn’t help but smile.
After lunch, Uncle Li brought them to a bustling area. When they walked into the banquet hall, Old Master Cui’s old face looked out of place with the fas.h.i.+onable items.
The lights in the entire hall were very dim. The loud music only made people feel that they were noisy. Leather seats divided the crowd into piles.
Gu Man’s expression could not be said to be good. She frowned slightly as she watched this scene. She looked up at Old Master Cui beside her with a puzzled expression.
Old Master Cui did not look like someone who would like such an environment. Why did he bring her here?
Could this be the so-called banquet?
Huang Yue was drinking with her head lowered. Beside her were the young ladies of Han City. With Huang Yue as the center, they were chattering non-stop, making Huang Yue’s head hurt..
