Chapter 100: To Allow or Not?

And why does he refuse to admit he has her in his heart, and why won't he divorce Liuli?

She doesn't understand any of this, and she also doesn't know whether he loves her or not.

"Little Wei, you've grown up too; I can't worry about everything for you, you decide your own affairs, Mom only wishes you happiness."

"Madam Wind isn't happy; she only hopes that Feng Wei won't end up like her."

"I know."

"Feng Wei answered absentmindedly; she does whatever she wants, and once she's set on something, no one can change it."

"Madam Wind just worries that Feng Wei's temperament makes her easily hurt; if Gu Die truly loved her, would he still marry someone else?"

"But seeing Feng Wei so unwilling, she also knows she can't be persuaded; sooner or later she'll have to bear the consequences of her own decisions."

"No matter the outcome, as her mother she will always stay by her side."

"I'm changed, let's go, to the Gu family."

"Ju Zi changed her clothes and came out saying, at the Wind family, she really feels like it's her own home."

"As soon as Madam Wind saw Ju Zi, she turned and left, her expression showing disdain."

"Ju Zi was still preparing to greet Madam Wind, but seeing her like that, she couldn't be bothered."

"Auntie, you look good no matter what you wear."

"Feng Wei said that, and Madam Wind disliked her even more; she really was trying to curry favor with this woman."

"She's spouting nonsense with her eyes open, saying you look good in anything, yet she's never even praised her own mother—just thinking about it makes her angrier."

"She really knows how to talk."

"Ju Zi laughed happily, very pleased with Feng Wei's words."

"She likes sweet-talkers, and Feng Wei fits the bill perfectly."

"Mom, we'll be back soon."

"Feng Wei shouted at Madam Wind's back."

"Got it."

"Actually, Madam Wind wanted to say, 'You can come back, but don't bring that woman back.'"

"Whenever Feng Wei goes out, there's always a private car to pick her up, and Ju Zi always gets in the car just like the Wind family's mistress, swinging her hips proudly."

"Auntie, you really need to speak properly later."

"Feng Wei instructed, she really fears Ju Zi will act like last time again."

"Last time she never expected her to be so brazen; clearly it was her own mistake for abandoning the child, yet she made it seem like Gu Die's fault."

"She never even raised him, so how could she demand he accept her, and act as if it's owed?"

"I know."

"Ju Zi said impatiently, she doesn't know how many times Feng Wei will have to repeat this."

"Auntie, don't get angry; getting angry too much will cause wrinkles."

"Feng Wei coaxed."

"I'm not old yet, how could I get wrinkles?"

"The woman retorted, she hates it most when people mention wrinkles to her."

"She deeply knows that a woman is only liked by men if she's young and beautiful."

"And she has always relied on men; she doesn't rely on herself, she doesn't struggle on her own—how could she possibly still look as beautiful as a flower now?"

"Feng Wei really doesn't like Ju Zi, even dislikes her, but she can't deny that Ju Zi takes good care of herself."

"Just like Madam Wind, she invests heavily in her own beauty."

"I didn't say you're old; you're so young, how could I say you're old? I'm telling you not to get angry—I'm not trying to make you happy?"

"The only thing that makes me happy now is that Gu Die kid agreeing to let me be Madame Gu!"

"Ju Zi had thought of this long ago; this way she would have endless wealth and glory."

"Once she becomes Madame Gu, she won't have to rely on men anymore, and she'll be able to get whatever she wants—wind if she wants wind, rain if she wants rain."

"With the Gu family's background so huge, she could do whatever she wanted."

"Then she would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of her life, and her life would be hundreds, even thousands of times better than before."

"Just act pitiful and coax him, he'll agree."

"As Feng Wei was saying that, she saw a familiar figure by the roadside."

"It looked like Gu Die, but why would he come alone to drink in such a small place?"

"Normally, even if he's in a bad mood and drinks, he goes to Bai Xu's bar; how could he end up here, and it's not even early."

"She thought it looked like him, but she didn't really believe it, because she'd never seen Gu Die drink in a place like this."

"But then she thought, he went to that kind of small place for barbecue last time, so it's possible he'd come here."

"The more she thought, the more she thought of Liuli; she really didn't know why Gu Die would go to that kind of place for barbecue with Liuli."

"Moreover, he even had people go to the barbecue place to help her; she felt he had become completely different from before."

"Stop the car!"

"Feng Wei kept thinking and couldn't help but get out to look; if it really was Gu Die, mistaking him would be better than missing him."

"If it really was Gu Die drinking alone, then she'd have another chance; seeing Gu Die without Liuli by his side made her inexplicably happy."

"Brother Die, it really is you—why are you here alone?"

"Feng Wei saw the drunk Gu Die and asked."

"Gu Die gave her a cold glance and ignored her."

"Feng Wei felt a pang of disappointment; sure enough, even when drunk he didn't want to say another word to her."

"But what could she do? She was obsessed, determined to marry him."

Don't drink anymore.

Feng Wei seeing him like that felt uneasy too; she had never seen him drink to this extent.

Don't bother me.

Gu Die didn't know who was before him; his vision was a blur, and he only knew someone was snatching his wine.

Gu Die, big brother, let's go back, okay?

Who's Gu Die? I'm not.

Gu Die asked back, he was really drunk.

Ju Zi saw Feng Wei get off the car halfway and wondered why.

She also recognized the person as Gu Die; seeing Gu Die drunk in such a small place, she felt embarrassed.

But Feng Wei hadn't gotten in the car for a while; she grew anxious and got out to look.

Shall we go back?

Feng Wei asked patiently; only with Gu Die would she be this patient.

I'm not going back, I still want to drink; give me the wine.

Gu Die wanted to take the wine, but Feng Wei held on tightly; she felt if he drank more his body couldn't take it.

Ju Zi arrived at the tavern, looking disgusted; smelling the wine on Gu Die, she furrowed her brows.

She couldn't stand the smell of wine; although the men she knew usually drank, she also had to pretend not to care.

Actually she was already cursing in her heart: why must he drink, what's good about wine, it's also foul.

Don't drink, listen.

I want to drink; give me.

Sigh, what's the point of drinking; go back, hurry back.

Ju Zi said impatiently.

Feng Wei glared at Ju Zi; she then became impatient again.

Ju Zi, also being glared at, didn't know what to do; she couldn't anger Feng Wei, as she still needed her help.

Even if she couldn't help, she could still stay a few more days at Feng Wei's; Feng Wei was generous to her, after all, whose family is rich?

If she hadn't become Madame Gu, asking Feng Wei for some money to get by, Feng Wei probably wouldn't think much of it.

Unlike Gu Die, who truly shows no pity for his birth mother.

Gu Die looked at Ju Zi with a dazed expression, not recognizing who she was.

Good child, let's go back; we can drink there too.

Ju Zi said to Gu Die, looking at Feng Wei's expression, she then spoke properly.

Go back? Where to? What to drink?

We'll go home; once home, I'll keep you company drinking, okay?

Feng Wei asked.

You'll keep me company drinking?

Although Gu Die was drunk and didn't know who was speaking, he didn't want to drink alone; it was quite uncomfortable.

The more he drank, the worse he felt; having someone accompany him, he actually wanted that.

I'll keep you company drinking.

Feng Wei promised.

Good, you can't go back on your word… you have to keep me company drinking…

Gu Die said as he stood up, but as soon as he rose he couldn't stand steady.

Feng Wei saw he was about to fall and hurriedly supported him.

Ju Zi didn't care about them, didn't lend a hand, just went her own way.

She also covered her nose, staying far from Feng Wei and Gu Die.

Feng Wei really grew more annoyed with Ju Zi; she now began to doubt whether Ju Zi was truly Gu Die's birth mother.

Could she be an impostor? Her son drank to this state, yet she not only doesn't feel sorry, she looks disgusted.

She regretted making a deal with her, helping her become Madame Gu.

Gu Die's body was too heavy; he barely walked, relying on Feng Wei to support him.

Miss, let me help.

The driver, seeing this, hurriedly got out of the car to help.

Hmm, okay, slow down.

Okay, miss.

They hadn't even gotten in the car yet, but Ju Zi had already sat in.

Feng Wei told herself to endure; otherwise all those days of endurance would be wasted.

She now really wanted Ju Zi to produce the marriage certificate again to see if it was fake.

She truly hoped it were fake.

Honey, are you full?

Bai Xu saw Yu Ke still eating at this point and couldn't help asking, a genuine question.

He didn't know she had eaten so much and still wasn't full; why?

Not yet.

Yu Ke replied while eating.

Once she starts hot pot, even if she's full, she can't stop.

You're not full yet?

Bai Xu truly admired Yu Ke's appetite.

No, eat a little more; you're eating so little, you must not be full yet, right?

Yu Ke still didn't forget to ask Bai Xu.

I'm not full, but I don't want to eat this anymore.

Bai Xu laughed, looking at Yu Ke eat, finding her quite cute.

Then what do you want to eat?

Yu Ke asked, could it be that he doesn't like hot pot either?

She, like Zi Han, couldn't understand how someone could dislike such delicious hot pot.

Don't you know what I want to eat?

If you don't tell me, how would I know?

Then if I say it, will you agree?

Why must I agree?

It's just that I need you to agree.

Then say it, let me see.

Yu Ke grew more puzzled, wondering what Bai Xu actually wanted to eat.

I want to eat you...

After Bai Xu said that, his face turned red, and Yu Ke nearly spat out her food upon hearing it.

Will you let me?

Bai Xu pressed further.

How do you want me to answer this?

Yu Ke suddenly felt that even the hot pot in front of her wasn't fragrant anymore.

Then don't answer; I'll decide for you.

How will you decide?

Bai Xu didn't answer her question, picked her up, and left.
