Chapter 369 Gu Mingtian's Experience
Looking at the hand with two fingers missing, even though they were just strangers who had met once, Gu Mingyue found it difficult to suppress the bitterness in her heart.
He was sold by his biological parents and almost became a money-making tool under the knife of his uncle, but he can still hold on until now. It is really heartbreaking and admirable.
She couldn't help but hold the hand and said, "Let the past be the past. Think about it this way, if he didn't hit you hard at the beginning, but just beat and scolded you, maybe you couldn't make up your mind to leave, and you might always be coerced by him and be restrained for the rest of your life. Sacrificing two fingers in exchange for a wider world is not a loss for us. I believe you should be very surprised when you arrive in Hong Kong. After all, both the social environment and people's living conditions there are very different from those in the mainland."
"Indeed, I felt like I was in a new world. I was not used to it at first, but I remembered what you said, that staying alive is the greatest hope. I am an illegal immigrant and can only take jobs secretly. Many people were unwilling to hire me because I was young. At that time, I accidentally discovered that there were always some yachts on the sea that would be brightly lit at night. After asking around, I learned that the waiters on them not only earned a lot, but also had someone to protect them. It was difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them, let alone apply for a job. My wounds had been inflamed and had not healed, and I was short of food and clothing. I had a hunch that if I continued like this, I would definitely die soon. Anyway, I would die anyway, so I might as well give it a try. When I climbed onto the boat, I happened to meet someone who wanted to kill Wu Ye. I knew him, he was the boss of those boats. I thought, if he died, I would have even less hope, so I gritted my teeth and stepped forward to help him block a wooden warehouse. When I woke up, I was in the hospital..."
Perhaps thinking of the silly self back then, Gu Mingtian couldn't help laughing. "You don't know, when I opened my eyes and saw Wu Ye, he asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted to be a waiter. Wu Ye and his men were all stunned. He asked me again in disbelief and promised to give me a large sum of money. I thought it was the same as in the mainland. Money can't be spent carelessly, and it's still reliable to have a job. I still firmly told Wu Ye that I want to be a waiter. Maybe he thought I was interesting, and from then on, Wu Ye took me with him. Later, there was trouble in the gang, and everyone took sides. At that time, I didn't think about anything else. I just thought that with Wu Ye there, my life would be stable... When the civil strife is over, it will be very... Many people disappeared, and I realized that this internal fight was Wu Ye's deliberate attempt to show weakness to the enemy in order to clean up those who had ulterior motives. Since then, Wu Ye has appreciated me more and more. He said that as long as I changed my surname to his, he would recognize me as his godson. I didn't want to. Although I wanted to break away from the past, I didn't want to forget your kindness. I was afraid that if I couldn't go back in the future, I would gradually forget everything in the past. I didn't want to, so I refused. I thought Wu Ye would be angry, but he wasn't. He still valued me very much. When I learned that someone had contacted Wu Ye to discuss borrowing the road, I took the initiative to come back in person. First, I wanted to settle the grievances with that family, and most importantly, I wanted to find you and say thank you in person. "
At this point, Gu Mingtian held Gu Mingyue's hand and said, "Sister Gu, you said before that we can be relatives. Can I be your brother?"
"You've been calling me for so long, but have you ever heard me object?"
Gu Mingtian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned red. "I thought you would dislike me."
Gu Mingyue comforted him, "You said you would forget the past, then remember who you are now. You got everything by yourself, so you must be proud of it. You are the person I admire the most among all the people I have met. Really, if it were me, I would definitely not be as strong as you. It must have been very hard when you escaped, right?"
Gu Mingtian had originally suppressed the sadness in his heart, but at this moment his tears burst out uncontrollably.
The sea water was very cold, and the chill made his body numb. Only the pain in his fingers could keep him awake. Several times when he wanted to give up, he would look at the handkerchief wrapped around his hand and force himself to hold on.
He took out the handkerchief embroidered with a little tiger and said nostalgically, "It was stained with blood and couldn't be washed out, but I kept it. Because when I was desperate, it was its existence that reminded me that there were people who cared about me and I had to live."
That was something Guanglei had given to Gu Mingtian before, but he didn't expect that he would keep it.
Gu Mingyue took it from his hand, then took out a new handkerchief from her pocket. Lin Daiyun had embroidered some for her earlier. There were various moon patterns, including crescent moon, full moon, and crescent moon. They were both exquisite and practical.
Because there were no tissues at the moment, she was used to carrying one in her pocket when she went out.
"This is a full moon, symbolizing reunion, perfection, and satisfaction. I give it to you. The old must go before the new can come. After going around in circles, you have a new life, and we meet again. Everything is developing for the better. May your future life be filled with light. Gu Mingtian, welcome back."
"Sister Gu, thank you."
"Call me Mingyue, otherwise it always feels weird."
Gu Mingtian thought for a moment and said, "Then can I call you Sister Mingyue?"
"also."
Gu Mingtian called the waiter to start taking orders. Seeing his attitude, Gu Mingyue quickly stopped him and said, "Enough, enough. There are only two of us. We can't finish so much."
"Didn't you say you were staying at your nephew's house? Let's order some more and take them back later."
"That won't take that much."
After finally not ordering, Gu Mingtian had people bring a lot of gifts, "Take a look, do you like them? These are all brought from Hong Kong City, and I'm going to give them to you when we meet. Many of them I saw while shopping these years, and I bought them because I thought they were suitable for you. This is a crystal ball, you see, the person inside can still move, and this is a watch, I heard there are only three in Hong Kong City, I helped you grab one..."
It can be seen that the gift is very thoughtful, which not only represents his thoughts, but also perhaps his sustenance...
But this love was too strong. Gu Mingyue couldn't refuse it, but it was too hot to hold it, so she asked, "When is your birthday?"
"Ah?" Gu Mingtian didn't react for a moment.
Gu Mingyue explained, "Your gift is too expensive. If I don't accept it, I will let you down. I have to make up for it from other places. So, give me a chance. I will give you a gift on your birthday."
Gu Mingtian wanted to say no, but he also wanted the thing that Sister Gu gave him. He didn’t care about the value of the thing, as long as it was given by the other party, he would cherish it.
Just thinking of birthdays, he said, "Since I changed my name, I haven't had a birthday. Wu Ye said that the day he picked me up was my birthday, but he always got it wrong. Later, he would celebrate it once when he remembered, so that I could celebrate it many times a year."
Gu Mingyue couldn't help but ask, "It seems that Master Wu treats you very well?"
Gu Mingtian smiled sincerely, "Well, he taught me a lot. He, like Sister Gu, is my benefactor."
Gu Mingyue suddenly said, "How about we consider the day we met as your birthday? Since you admit that you are my brother, I will make the decision. It can be regarded as my way of celebrating your new life in disguise. This time, I will remember it for you and I will make sure you don't make a mistake."
Gu Mingtian looked at her deeply and said with emotion, "Okay!"
