Chapter 484 Chen Ranxing and Gao Yuan Extra [3]
After watching the sunrise, she would draw the blackout curtains, and the room would return to darkness. She would go back to bed and take another nap. When she woke up at around ten o'clock, she would go to the buffet restaurant on the ship to eat something.
The food on the boat was neither good nor bad, so just eat it as it was. By the time one finished a meal slowly, it was often already noon.
After that, she ran to the deck to bask in the sun for a while, looked at the sea and the sea level, and then went back to her room to take a nap, sleeping for the whole afternoon.
There are recreational facilities on the ship, probably to relieve the boredom of passengers during long sea journeys. The second, third and fourth floors are all filled with various recreational facilities, including casinos, amusement parks, small-budget cafes, and frequent banquets...
But Chen Ranxing never went to these places. She usually woke up at five o'clock in the afternoon, just in time to go outside to watch the sunset, watching the shining sun gradually retract its heat, become gentle, and then turn from red to dim, and finally fall below the sea level.
There will still be some sunset glow in the sky, and after it disappears, the sky will fall into darkness.
The night at sea is not completely dark. The air quality here is very good, so the stars in the sky are clearly visible. When the weather is good, you can even see the Milky Way.
Chen Ranxing likes stars very much. The "Xing" in her name was given to her by her mother, who hoped that she would be like the stars, free and happy. Even if she is not dazzling enough, she can still emit her own light.
Chen Ranxing didn't know if she had disappointed her mother. She gave up her career and love, and lived a carefree life with countless money in her account.
But she will always be able to find her direction in life, right?
Chen Ranxing looked at the last bit of remaining sunset and suddenly remembered a line of poetry.
Sunset, heartbroken people in the horizon.
She smiled. Although she was not well educated, she felt that this poem was quite appropriate for the occasion.
After watching the sunset, Chen Ranxing would go back to her room to play with Legos. Before coming here, she bought a lot of second-hand Legos from the store, which was just right for killing time.
She tries to make her life more fulfilling, even though it always feels empty.
Just after she had spent five days and five nights on the boat, the small courtyard where she used to live in Country M welcomed an uninvited guest.
Gao Yuan stood at the locked door of the courtyard, listening to the owner of the house explain to him in broken Chinese, "When she first lived here, she was very quiet and hardly bothered me, so we had very little contact. She didn't cancel the lease this time, so I don't know when she left."
The owner of the house looked at Gao Yuan's expressionless face and said anxiously, "She still has three months' rent plus one month's rent deposit left. Otherwise, I'll return it to you."
Gao Yuan said "hmm" after a long time.
The landlord took out the originally signed rental contract and the remaining rent and handed them to Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan took it and saw the long-lost name on the lease contract.
It was obvious that the flamboyant handwriting was written by that woman. Just like her, it was unconventional.
He thanked the owner of the house, took the lease contract and the money back to the car, and carefully placed these things in a folder and put them in a storage box.
A few thousand dollars was just a small amount of money to him, but it was hers. Even though it wasn't the money she had given him, it still made him feel a little connected to her.
It is actually not difficult to find out the whereabouts of Chen Ranxing. It can even be considered easy for him now, but he did not check. Instead, he flew back to China directly and continued to handle his work as if nothing had happened.
Three days later, there was a payment of five million yuan in my mother's account. The recipient was a foreign account. After checking, the account holder was found to be Chen Ranxing.
At that time, Gao Yuan was sitting in the office handling work. When he received the news, he laughed out of anger.
It turns out that being extremely popular really makes you laugh.
Gao Yuan picked up the car keys and walked out.
On the way home, he tried hard to control his strength and not to step on the accelerator too hard. He returned home smoothly and saw his mother watering the flowers on the balcony.
He strode over.
Gao's mother looked up when she heard the noise, and smiled when she saw him. "You're back. Why are you back so early today?"
Gao Yuan threw the car keys on the table.
"Mom, it was you who went to find Chen Ranxing, right?" He looked at his mother steadily.
Mother Gao paused and looked at her son in front of her.
Her son had been so willful for twenty years that he had become unfathomable. Even she could no longer ignore him.
But she didn't want to answer this question.
"I……"
"Mom, you asked her to leave China for a year. Do you know why I didn't make a fuss with you?" Gao Yuan looked at his mother and said calmly, "Because I didn't have the qualifications at that time. I have enjoyed the family's honor for twenty years. All my glory was brought to me by the family. So I was not qualified to make decisions for the family. I couldn't decide to be with her."
"So I didn't say anything. I was too weak. Everyone was above me. I couldn't protect my love. I could only make myself stronger first. Brother Fu was right. It felt unexpectedly good to be at the pinnacle of power."
Gao's mother stared at Gao Yuan blankly, as if she had never known her son.
This was the first time that Gao Yuan opened up to her. During this year, she always thought that Gao Yuan blamed her, so he never spoke to her. She took the initiative to look for him, but all she got in return were a few cold words from him.
Now that he had said so much in front of her, Gao's mother suddenly felt out of control.
Everything was developing in a direction beyond her control.
But now, she really has nothing to worry about. The Gao family is already in the hands of her son, and the thing she once worried about most will never happen again.
She didn't know what she was afraid of.
"Child, Mom..." Gao's mother moved her lips.
Gao Yuan shook his head and interrupted her. "Mom, I don't blame you. At this time last year, the situation of my mother and I in the Gao family was so serious, but I never realized that you took this desperate measure to help us gain a firm foothold. But from today on, I hope that you will not ask about anything about Chen Ranxing anymore. What happens between me and her has nothing to do with you, okay?"
He looked at his mother quietly, without showing any resentment, but Gao's mother knew that he was blaming her.
"I have my own judgment and choice, Mom, and I hope you respect me."
Gao's mother could only nod slowly.
"Now that you have grown up, if you want to get her back, then go ahead." Gao's mother said softly, "Now no one in the Gao family can stop you. Whether you are married or have children will no longer be a reason to stop you. Mom... is also happy for you."
Gao Yuan said "hmm" lightly, turned around and walked away.
Gao's mother looked at his back, feeling indescribable.
Her child eventually became alienated from her. It was all her fault, but she didn't even have the right to regret it.
Because she forced him to choose interests over love, and he did so.
Now she just hopes that he can get what he wants. She has already become a bad person, so she won't dream of having it all. No matter what decision he makes, she will support him.
