Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 502 Please Guide Me for the Rest of My Life (8)

Xu Qing curled the corners of her lips and began to change the subject; all she wanted to do now was satisfy her craving for alcohol: "Let's go, I can already smell the alcohol."

"Come on, come on, it's lively inside. Let's find a spot to have a drink." Shen Xinru pulled her inside.

The two went inside, found a seat, and ordered several specialty drinks.

While waiting, we chatted.

"Hey bro, aren't you having fun? What are you doing, performing surgery on the fruit?" Gu Xiao said, holding a bottle of liquor as he walked over and sat down in the booth.

Gu Wei focused intently on peeling the fruit in his hands, his movements appearing meticulous, automatically ignoring his words: "You said you don't even spend your birthday at home."

"Where you celebrate your birthday doesn't matter, what matters is having fun with you, bro."

"Happy? You're the one who's happy!"

Gu Xiao: "Brother, this won't do. You're already thirty years old. Look at all these beautiful women here, isn't there a single one that catches your eye?"

Music played incessantly inside, and groups of young men and women of all kinds sat together, drinking and chatting happily.

Gu Wei looked up and glanced at it, his eyes seemingly empty: "Where is it? I can't see it."

"How can I not see them? Aren't they all here?" Gu Xiao said with a look that said, "You have bad eyesight."

As he spoke, he became somewhat excited: "Let me find one for you. Look at that leg over there, it must be about 1.2 meters long, right? Is that leg suitable?"

Gu Wei glanced in the direction he pointed and then looked away: "Anterior pelvic tilt, increased spinal curvature, you've been wearing high heels too much. Go see an orthopedic doctor."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walking away in high heels flashed through his mind, and he paused for a moment.

Remembering what she had said—that she judges people by their symptoms—Gu Wei couldn't help but smile.

It seems like it's been several months since we last met.

Gu Xiao, unwilling to give up, continued searching: "Brother, look again... why are you suddenly laughing?"

"nothing."

"Oh, then look over there at that girl in those little block heels."

"Dark circles under the eyes that even heavy makeup can't cover up must mean you've been staying up late for a long time. You should see a neurologist."

He mentioned a few more, and Gu Wei could point out flaws in each one.

Gu Xiao sighed, somewhat speechless: "Brother, there's a reason why you're still single at thirty."

He picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip of wine, and then searched the room again, determined not to believe that there wasn't a single person who could catch his brother's eye.

Gu Wei showed no emotion and didn't take his words to heart.

After looking around, Gu Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at two people drinking in a corner.

"Brother, look over there, that's absolutely top-notch!"

Gu Wei was pulled along by him, so he could only glance over casually, his gaze, which was about to look away, paused.

Seeing that he had glanced at her a couple more times, Gu Xiao immediately said, "What do you think? Isn't she an absolute stunner?"

As soon as the wine was served, Xu Qing picked up his glass and took a big gulp, instantly feeling a sense of elevation.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xinru smiled and said, "Qingqing, are you that craving alcohol?"

"Yes, I've been holding back for half a year."

Gu Wei saw the familiar person and thought he had run into her again, but when he saw her drinking, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Wasn't she in poor health?

Gu Xiao continued speaking to himself: "Interested now? Look at those long legs, she has a great figure, and she's exceptionally beautiful..."

He paused mid-sentence: "Wait, one of them looks kind of familiar."

His words drew Gu Wei's attention back: "Which one looks familiar?"

Gu Xiaoren took a few careful glances, and Xu Qing could sense someone staring at them from afar, but she didn't look directly in the direction of the gaze.

Instead, he used his mental power to scan them and realized, oh, they were two acquaintances.

"The one in the black dress is actually someone we know."

Because Xu Qing slightly turned her face to the side, Gu Xiao was able to see her clearly.

Gu Wei didn't look away, and asked calmly, "Do you know her?"

Gu Xiao nodded first: "I know him."

Then she looked at him with surprise: "Wait a minute, bro, you're actually curious? Is it true you've really fallen for him?"

Although he had just been trying his best to recommend him, he knew what kind of person his brother was and hadn't taken it too seriously. So he was quite surprised to see him asking about it now.

Gu Wei didn't answer him, and Gu Xiao didn't care. He said directly, "You don't know her? But that's normal. You don't pay attention to those things."

"Well, go on,"

"Her name is Xu Qing, the president of Xu's Group and the daughter of the chairman of Xu's Group. I never expected that President Xu would go out drinking with friends."

Gu Xiao always thought that these kinds of people were very self-disciplined and didn't like to have fun. After all, they were smart and focused on their careers, constantly fighting in the business world.

Gu Wei knew something about the Xu Group, but he didn't know the specific name of the person in charge. He didn't expect her to be so capable.

If he's a CEO, he must be very busy with social engagements, no wonder he has a bad stomach.

"She's a workaholic, and she used to be one of my buddies' fiancées."

Gu Wei: "Before?" His focus was on those two words.

"It was before, they just broke off their engagement a while ago." Gu Xiao sighed, thinking of Chen Han drinking alone back then.

Gu Wei listened but didn't offer any opinion.

Gu Xiao continued, "However, I heard from my dad that she found someone to manage the company and has recently stepped back from the limelight. No wonder she has time to come out for drinks."

Working at high intensity is indeed bad for your health, so it's good to take a break, Gu Wei thought.

Gu Xiao leaned closer and said, "Brother, if you're interested, go for it. But this kind of strong woman might not be easy to handle, haha."

Towards the end, his tone became somewhat gloating.

Gu Wei pushed him away: "You're overthinking it!"

Xu Qing overheard everything the two said. She glanced in that direction, put down her wine glass, and stood up: "I'm going to the restroom."

Shen Xinru: "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No need, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

Xu Qing nodded and turned to walk towards the restroom.

Gu Wei looked away, glanced at Gu Xiao who had just finished a phone call and walked away, then stood up and headed towards the restroom.

Xu Qinggang came out of the restroom and saw a person leaning against the wall outside.

Gu Wei turned his head and spoke first: "You still drink alcohol even though you have a bad stomach? Are you fully recovered?"

"Yes, it's been almost done after a few months of raising it."

"Drink less."

Xu Qing smiled, her eyes sparkling and captivating: "What are you doing here? Were you waiting for me?"

"It's just a coincidence."

"Really? Then I'll be going now!" she said, lifting her foot to leave.

Gu Wei said helplessly, "I've been waiting for you."

Xu Qing turned to look at him, a smile in her eyes: "What are you waiting for me for?"

"May I... leave my contact information?" Gu Wei asked, looking into her eyes.

"hehe."

Looking at the new contacts on his phone, Gu Wei stood there alone, a smile playing on his lips.
