Chapter 237: Two hundred and thirty-seven Gu Chen knew about that year’s events_1

What a shame I was never destined to marry a rich wife!

I was actually quite handsome when I was younger.

There were rich women who chased me, but I didn’t like them, and there was nothing I could do about it.

It really proves that saying.

"Little did the youth know the taste of living off a woman’s wealth, mistakenly spent my prime time planting rice!

The more Old Hu thought about it, the more he regretted not choosing that path. If he had known better, he would have found himself a wealthy wife and wouldn’t be both repairing cars to provide for the family and being scolded by his wife!

After all, women love to criticize, and at least a rich wife wouldn’t make him earn money, living a life without worries about food and clothes. Just like Gu Chen,, who in his early twenties, could spend tens of thousands without even blinking — now that’s a comfortable life!

As he sighed, he walked into the VIP room.

The first thing he saw was a black leather sofa with candy placed on the coffee table.

The office area was at the back, with a desk adorned with fresh flowers, a world apart from the counter outside.

While Gu Chen was withdrawing money, Old Hu sat on the sofa and ate the free candy.

It was free after all; it would be a waste not to eat it!

The cashier swiped his card through the machine and then took out a stack of hundred yuan notes from the safe. She started running them through the money counter, one by one.

Only after she completed all this did she hand the card and six stacks of red bills to Gu Chen.

She smiled at him kindly, "Mr. Gu, you still have nineteen million nine hundred and ninety-four thousand yuan in your account."

Old Hu’s scalp went numb in an instant, his eyes full of disbelief as he looked over at Gu Chen.

!!!!!

How much?

Nineteen million nine hundred and ninety-four thousand?

Did he hear that wrong?

Even winning the lottery wouldn’t yield that much money!

His shock was such that he didn’t notice how the candy in his mouth had somehow got stuck in his throat.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..."

His violent coughing startled Gu Chen.

He hurried over, "Brother Hu, what’s going on with you?"

Seeing this, the cashier quickly stood up, rushed to the water dispenser, filled a cup with water, and brought it over.

Old Hu was red-faced from choking, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Seeing who, he quickly snatched the water from the cashier’s hand.

He tilted his head back and gulped it down.

It wasn’t until the candy slid down his throat that he finally got some relief.

His eyes, still bloodshot, looked at Gu Chen with a complicated expression.

"Don’t call me brother anymore; you are my brother."

He had lived for over forty years and it was the first time he had truly seen someone worth tens of millions.

And to think that he had a multimillionaire right beside him?

It was just too unbelievable!

Gu Chen was torn between laughter and tears at the expression on his face.

"Brother Hu, our friendship can’t be measured like this."

Old Hu was more than a decade older than himself.

Being called brother by him, he really couldn’t take it.

He didn’t want to say it earlier for fear of shocking Old Hu, but it ended up being revealed by the bank cashier.

He felt quite helpless about it.

Old Hu looked at him in shock, "Bro, are you telling me you married the daughter of the richest man?"

A card with twenty million, that’s freaking terrifying!

Gu Chen rubbed his head and laughed.

"You’re exaggerating, Brother Hu."

Hearing that Gu Chen was already married, the face of the bank cashier fell.

Her target, one she hadn’t even approached yet, had already been taken by someone else?

How unlucky could she get!

"Mr. Gu, you’re already married?" she asked incredulously.

Gu Chen nodded his head innocently.

"Yeah, my daughter is almost three years old."

At those words, the cashier’s face showed a mixture of disappointment and resignation.

A handsome and wealthy guy, but sadly already someone else’s.

Did his wife save the galaxy in her past life or something?

She’s way too lucky.

...

Gu Chen handed over the money for the car to Old Hu and gave him an extra thousand yuan as rental fees for the recent period.

After expressing his emotions for a while, Old Hu and Gu Chen parted ways.

Once Old Hu left, Gu Chen reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to check the time on it.

It was almost twelve o’clock.

Time to cook for his father-in-law and his wife and child.

He had to go to the hospital.

In fact, Gu Chen could have chosen not to go, but thinking about that cook, he still felt he had to make the trip to be at ease.

The man was sneaky and always in a hurry; although he couldn’t pinpoint why, he just felt something was off with him, and he really didn’t trust him to cook for his wife and child!

With this thought, he didn’t hesitate to turn the car around and head toward the hospital.

You know, the new car really is much more comfortable to drive than that little van.

Even the speed is faster.

As he was quickly approaching the hospital, Gu Chen took out his phone and dialed Uncle Guang’s number.

At this moment, Uncle Guang stood in the hospital ward with a serious expression on his face.

Next to him stood a chef, shivering.

Across from them sat Ji Guangsheng in a wheelchair, his face also stern.

"Mr. Ji, please don’t fire me, I’ll never tell your family’s matters to Second Master again, I was just confused for a moment because of money..." the cook begged incessantly.

Truthfully, working for the Ji Family was really much more relaxing than working in a restaurant.

And they paid more, too.

He really didn’t want to leave, nor did he wish to.

Watching the scene in front of him, Uncle Guang couldn’t help but sigh, feeling that young Gu Chen had done him a huge favor.

If not for him, it would have been Uncle Guang himself standing opposite Mr. Ji right now.

He was still pondering when his phone in his suit pocket started to vibrate.

He glanced at Ji Guangsheng, then hurried outside the ward.

Only then did he take out the phone.

Seeing the call was from Gu Chen, his face lit up with excitement.

"Hello, speak of the devil, and he shall appear! You’re really clairvoyant, you actually guessed right, the spy is indeed this cook!"

Uncle Guang was so excited, he rambled on without end.

On the other end, Gu Chen held the steering wheel with one hand and the phone with the other.

"Dad hasn’t eaten yet, right? Could you open the kitchen for me? No matter what, we still need to have lunch."

He came, actually, to cook.

Hearing this, Uncle Guang slapped his forehead.

"Good lad, you’re truly worthy of yourself!"

This kid may seem careless on the surface, but he really is thorough in his considerations.

The cook definitely couldn’t be used anymore.

If Gu Chen hadn’t called, he would have completely forgotten about this lunch issue!

Backtrace, and his wife and Ji Chu would surely have words for him.

After all, Mr. Ji is still ill, and every meal needs to be on time.

"Why don’t you come to the hospital first, and then we’ll go together," suggested Uncle Guang.

"Alright!"

After confirming, Gu Chen hung up the phone and headed towards the hospital’s parking lot.

As soon as he reached the door of the ward, Gu Chen saw Uncle Guang standing outside.

Seeing Gu Chen arrive, Uncle Guang hurried forward a couple of steps, affectionately patted his arm, and gratitude filled his face.

"You saved the day today, I’ll buy you a drink later!"

Young Gu Chen really was impressive.

Now, in Uncle Guang’s eyes, he was practically godlike.

Gu Chen smiled and nodded towards the ward’s entrance, "What’s the situation inside?"

Upon hearing the question, Uncle Guang leaned in close to Gu Chen’s ear and whispered the entire situation to him mysteriously.

Initially, Gu Chen’s face was smiling.

But when he heard that Ji Changming had actually encouraged Ji Pianran to run away from home and even had someone warn her never to return, his face instantly turned grave and serious.
