Became a vicious male mother

39. Coincidence

The address that Meng Guanhe sent was quite far away.

There was no place to cook soup here, so Gu Xinglan took the little money she had left and went to a private restaurant to order soup.

It's called a private restaurant, but it's really just buying ingredients and having someone else prepare them.

As the evening glow gradually turned red, it cast long shadows.

Gu Xinglan stood at the hospital entrance, carrying a bag. Her figure was blurred by the afterglow of the setting sun, and she looked somewhat hesitant.

"Hello, is Young Master Li... at the villa?"

[Is this Madam? I've already taken Young Master Li to his tutoring class at school.]

Oh, tomorrow is Monday, and Li Hetai has to go to school on Sunday night for a special interest tutoring class.

Things like tennis, golf, or niche musical instruments.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm traveling these days, so don't worry about me."

"[Then have a good time.]" There was a hint of surprise in the other person's tone. It was true that they should be on their honeymoon after getting married, but he, as the driver, hadn't received any news that his master was going on a trip.

Gu Xinglan would never have thought of these things.

Only after learning where Li Hetai had gone did he take the insulated box and go upstairs.

Perhaps it was just a series of coincidences between him and the Li family.

When Gu Xinglan went to the hospital reception to register, she happened to see Li Taihe and his boss sitting on the sofa.

"Have you enjoyed working together?"

"Pleasant to work with."

The two people are holding hands.

Li Taihe, dressed in a black suit, appeared relaxed and composed, seemingly having come from the company. Meng Guanhe, on the other hand, had his shoulders slightly hunched, looking extremely humble.

The two people are from different generations, but just by looking at their faces, you would think that the two people are the same age.

"Those two gentlemen are also going to visit the child in room 106, you can come along." The nurse's voice drew the attention of the two people on the sofa.

Gu Xinglan suddenly tensed up, as if she were being stared at by wolves and tigers.

K: [Please maintain your established persona; violating this persona will result in a deduction of playtime.]

The administrator's electronic mechanical voice almost made Gu Xinglan drop the soup in her hand.

“That’s the junior employee I was talking about.” Meng Guanhe presented his right palm to Gu Xinglan.

"Hmm, very... energetic." Li Taihe smiled with a hint of amusement.

"What are you standing there for? Come here now."

Meng Guanhe was in a great mood. He had never discussed cooperation with the head of the Li family before; his father had handled it all. Now, after just half an hour together, he had a very good impression of the head of the Li family.

They really know how to treat people differently based on their status.

Gu Xinglan thought to himself.

Meng Guanhe could be stern with a lowly employee like him, but he would fawn over someone of Li Taihe's stature without reservation. It's no wonder he's so successful.

Seeing that Gu Xinglan was still standing there.

K coldly replied: [If this continues, my playtime will be directly deducted.]

Deducting time? The system had never mentioned this to him.

"Admin, this is about deducting time..."

[Didn't your system notify you?]

Gu Xinglan: ...

It turns out the system was giving him a free pass.

I've never been so grateful for the character design assistant.

Gu Xinglan carried the bag and jogged over to Meng Guanhe's side.

"Hello, President Meng!" His eyes sparkled, and he exuded an air of eagerness.

“This gentleman, you can just call him President Li, is the most important investor in the program.” Meng Guanhe presented his palm to Li Taihe.

"...Hello, Mr. Li." When it was Li Taihe's turn, the previous obsequiousness vanished, and Gu Xinglan felt a little awkward.

Even without the persona booster, he couldn't face Li Taihe in a normal state. Moreover, the persona booster kept gushing out feelings of guilt and fear, which were twisted into a mess and difficult to control.

Under Li Taihe's distant and profound gaze, Gu Xinglan suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and smiled politely.

What was the original owner afraid of?

K: [This shows you've unlocked two hidden storylines, though there's not much progress on either, but... that's good.]

K: [If you want to know what the original owner was afraid of, you can try to unlock the third hidden storyline.]

Forget it then.

Gu Xinglan's smile was more like a grimace, and Meng Guanhe's face fell.

"Let's get to know each other?" Li Taihe seemed unaware that he was someone's male wife, extending his right hand as if they were strangers meeting for the first time.

Still not quite recovered, Gu Xinglan subconsciously ignored the soup she was holding in her right hand and reached out with her left.

It looks like he wants Li Taihe, the chairman and major shareholder of the Li Yao Group, to hold a man's hand.

Meng Guanhe: "..."
