Gu Lian placed his hands on his knees, bowed his head, and said nothing.
He certainly didn't seem like a man, especially in front of his son.
Gu Xici rarely got so agitated in words, which showed just how disappointed he was in his father.
Gu Xici got up, ready to leave.
Before leaving, he paused but didn't turn his head, speaking to Gu Lian behind him, "My mother and I depend on each other for survival, so you don't have to worry about us, and please don't disturb us anymore in the future."
Gu Xici deliberately emphasized the word 'mother,' though it was not his biological mother Zhu Shuanghua, but Zhu Ying.
After saying that, he walked straight out.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for years, yet their conversation ended this way.
Gu Lian sat alone in the café for a long time, until the last couple left, and then he got up and walked out.
The cold wind on a winter night was still biting.
Yet, walking on the street, he didn't feel cold at all.
