Chapter 202: No More Chase

Chapter 202 No More Chasing

Gong Liu was still sleeping - he had a voice call with Gu Chenxi until four in the morning last night, and slept until noon today.

The cell phone under the pillow suddenly vibrated a few times, waking Gong Yoo up.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at the message on his phone. It turned out to be sent by Wang Siting.

Wang Siting: "Mr. Kong, your friend Du Hongyuan just came to me and asked for his resignation... Please take a look at this matter..."

Du Hongyuan was arranged by Kong Yoo to work at the Peace Residence, so she certainly couldn't decide whether Du Hongyuan stayed or left casually.

Gong Liu sat up from the bed and typed back, "Why did this guy suddenly want to resign? Did he say the reason?"

Wang Siting replied to Gong Yoo in seconds: "I saw his eyes were red, and I thought he was bullied, but he told me no, he just felt that being a waiter in a restaurant was not decent."

Gong Liu looked at Wang Siting's reply and muttered to himself, "Your eyes are red? Not very decent?"

In Kong Liu's impression, Du Hongyuan is not the kind of person who would cry easily, and the salary paid by the restaurant is not bad. How could Du Hongyuan have a problem with money?

Gong Yoo sent a message asking, "Did he meet someone?"

Wang Siting replied: "I arranged a shift for him in the morning. He has to check out the private room at noon, so he doesn't have time to meet people."

Gong Liu seemed to have guessed something, and he asked, "What's the name of the guest in the private room that Du Hongyuan booked?"

This time, Wang Siting did not reply to Gong Liu immediately. After about a minute, she replied: "Last name is Shen."

"Okay, I got it. You arrange for him to rest for a while. I'll come over now."

Gong Yoo finished speaking and got out of bed.

"Xiao Qi, help me get the clothes I wear to school."

"Okay, Master."

Gong Yoo simply washed up, changed into his usual school clothes, and left home. When he was quite a distance away from the Peace Residence, Gong Yoo asked the driver to drop him off, and he walked for a while before arriving at the hotel.

Knowing that Kong Yoo was coming, Wang Siting and Wang Wu were already waiting at the door.

Wang Wu has lost a lot of weight recently - ever since Kong Yoo criticized him last time, Wang Wu has become extra hardworking, doing everything by himself. He has been so busy that he has become tired and thin.

He did this so that Gong Yoo could see his personal changes and know that he was not just a flatterer, so that Gong Yoo would not drive him away.

And now, his goal has indeed been achieved.

Gong Yoo patted Wang Wu's flat belly and said, "It seems that the restaurant's business has been very good recently. Manager Wang has become thinner because of him."

"Mr. Kong, you're joking." Kong Liu had previously told Wang Wu that he didn't like people calling him Young Master outside. Wang Wu took it to heart, so today he specifically called Kong Liu Mr. Kong.

Wang Wu patted his chest and said, "As long as the restaurant's business is good, I, Wang Wu, will not hesitate even if I die of exhaustion!"

"Good job."

Kong Liu patted Wang Wu on the shoulder, and then, under the guidance of Wang Siting, met Du Hongyuan.

This kid was sitting in the backyard of the hotel in a daze. Looking at his dazed look, no one knew what he was thinking about.

Gong Yoo walked over and kicked him on the butt: "Are you horny?"

"I want to die……"

Du Hongyuan didn't yell at Kong Liu for kicking him in the butt as he usually did, nor did he refute what Kong Liu said. He didn't even stand up. He just sat there in a daze, like an empty shell without a soul.

"You want to die so badly, are you crazy?" Kong Liu said, sitting next to Du Hongyuan and looking at him.

The boy's hair was still a little wet and his uniform was covered with water stains. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

His eyes were red, as if there were tears welling up in them.

Gong Yoo leaned over and said, "Hey, are you crying?"

"roll!"

Du Hongyuan said, wiping his eyes and said, "Don't bother me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Gong Liu did not comfort Du Hongyuan who was crying. Instead, he laughed with gloating and raised his phone and said, "I want to take a picture of you crying and send it to Shen Xia."

"Go ahead and take the photos. Anyway, she has already seen how miserable I look. It doesn't matter if I look even more miserable."

Hearing this, Kong Liu put down his phone and stopped smiling: "So, you really saw Shen Xia when you were at work today?"

"Ha." Du Hongyuan laughed emotionlessly, "Not only did I meet Shen Xia, I also met his father."

Gong Yoo continued, "So, you think it's embarrassing for her to see you working as a waiter? Why do you feel that you are not worthy of her?"

These words were like tearing open Du Hongyuan's already unhealed scar and pouring high-concentration alcohol on it. The feeling was even more painful than stabbing another knife into the wound.

"if not?"

Du Hongyuan stood up, his body trembling, and pointed to the private room upstairs.

"She's a rich girl. Her father can easily negotiate tens of millions of dollars worth of projects. Who am I? What's my family situation? Do I have a family? I don't even have a decent family. Why should I pursue her? Because I'm a poor loser? Because I have a cleaner pocket? Or because I'm homeless?"

Du Hongyuan wanted to roar hysterically, but he was worried that his roar would cause dissatisfaction among the guests in the hotel, so he forced himself to lower his voice. The roar, which was filled with anger, unwillingness, hysteria, yet very restrained, was like a tiger trapped in a cage, wanting to roar unwillingly but unable to show its original wildness because it had been tamed by humans.

Kong Liu looked into Du Hongyuan's eyes, which were full of grievance and unwillingness.

After Du Hongyuan roared, he was silent for a long time, and his emotions gradually stabilized. He said: "Old Liu, tell me... am I unlucky... If I was born into a good family, would I not have so many troubles?"

"..."

Kong Liu didn't know how to answer Du Hongyuan's question.

After a long silence, Gong Liu said, "Perhaps, rich people also have their own worries."

"But... at least rich people can have the material conditions to love someone well, right?"

"Love is not determined by material things."

"But every step of loving someone requires material things! Just like... just like what adults always say, marriage requires being well-matched!"

"……you win!"

Kong Liu spread his hands, he couldn't refute Du Hongyuan's words.

This was the first time that Du Hongyuan successfully defeated Kong Liu in a debate, but he couldn't laugh at all.

"So you've decided to give up Shen Xia, whom you've had a crush on for so long?"

"It's not that I give up, it's that I'm simply not worthy of him."

"You really don't want to pursue me anymore?"

"No more chasing."

"Then what about those words you promised before, that you would prove to her that you really liked her? You can't take back what you've said."

"Fuck, you're so annoying today. Will you die if you comfort me?"

Looking at Du Hongyuan's reaction, Kong Liu smiled. He knew that Du Hongyuan would not let it go so easily.
