Gu Yusheng didn't talk loudly, but he sounded very cold and mean. He looked so aggressive that everyone felt compelled to listen to him. Everyone in the room was shocked and confused over what had happened. The room suddenly became quiet. They all laid their eyes on Gu Yusheng and Gu Bancheng.
Put on the spot, Gu Yusheng became annoyed by everyone's stares.
He lifted his hand and was about to take another puff before realizing he had smoked the cigarette all the way to the filter. He stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray and grabbed his pack of cigarettes. He shook the pack and found there were no cigarettes left. Suddenly, his temper worsened, and he tossed the empty cigarette pack on the Mahjong table. He pushed the stacks of chips he had won not long ago across the table and kicked the chair behind him. He stood up and said, "This is no fun. I don't want to play anymore." He grabbed his cell phone, tidied his clothes, and walked away.
People in the private room recovered from the shock quite a while after Gu Yusheng left.
"What happened?" one person asked.
"When did Master Gu suddenly get such a bad temper?" another asked.
"Master Gu has been a little different than usual all day," a different person said.
Different? Truly different. He had seemed to be different not only that day. Actually, since last week, he had seemed to be a little different. Lu Bancheng was dazed, staring in the direction where Gu Yusheng had left for a while. When he woke up from his daze, there was a smile on his face. He said to everyone, "He's fine. Let's continue our party. It's on me today."
...
Xiaowang, the driver, had been waiting at the entrance for a while before Ms. Gu walked out of the Majestic Clubhouse.
Xiaowang immediately got out of the car and walked up to him with an umbrella when he saw Master Gu walking out of the clubhouse.
After getting in the car, Xiao Wang ask, "Mr. Gu, where are we going?"
Gu Yusheng looked at the heavy rain outside the window. He seemed to fall into deep thoughts.
Xiaowang waited for a while, but Gu Yusheng didn't seem to want to talk. Xiaowang started the car and drove on the rainy road.
The rain was heavy. Even when the wiper kept moving on the windshield, the view was still blurry. They drove very slowly.
When they were close to the company, Xiaowang asked, "Mr. Gu, are we going to the company as usual?"
Gu Yusheng quietly leaned back. He looked calm but seemed to still be deep in thought. After a while, he took a pack of cigarette from the glove compartment, lit a cigarette, and took two puffs on it. He turned his head to the side and took a look at the heavy rain outside of the window. Suddenly, lightning lit up the sky. Gu Yusheng frowned and said, "Call home."
Xiaowang was shocked by his order. Mr. Gu had never wanted to go home before, but recently, he wanted to go home. He took out his cell phone, dialed the landline, and put it on speaker.
The call immediately went through. It rang many times, but no one picked it up.
Xiaowang called again. Still, no one picked it up. Xiaowang turned around and asked, "Mr. Gu, there seems to be no one home."
