RRMGEH Chapter 32

At This Time, Everything Is Still Possible

At this time, he was still swaggering through school, an arrogant second-generation rich man who was in love for the first time. He didn’t know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was

He was infatuated with Zhao Yunfeng and chased him around the school, causing the whole school to know about it. At this time, he hadn’t yet fallen out with his parents because of Zhao Yunfeng, hadn’t quit his job, and hadn’t degraded himself to the point of becoming a parasite living off Zhao Yunfeng’s favor.

At this time, everything was still possible.

He was so happy that it felt like when he encountered some good fortune and wanted to share it with Zhou Li. Gu Changheng couldn’t wait to tell Zhou Li about this good news of his rebirth. He took out his phone from the bedside table and dialed the familiar number.

A robotic female voice came from the other end.

“Sorry, the phone number you have dialed is not in service. Please check and try again. Sorry—” Gu Changheng hung up the call.

He realized that at this time, he and Zhou Li hadn’t had much interaction.

Gu Changheng recalled that Zhou Li once mentioned they were classmates in junior high school and had even shown him a photo from their school days.

Later, during a casual chat, Zhou Li also told Gu Changheng that he dropped out of school after three months in the third year of junior high school and went to work.

Gu Changheng opened his contacts and saw a list of classmates and good friends from wealthy families like him.

When he was young, Gu Changheng called them brothers.

Later, after falling out with his father, Father Gu made it clear to these friends that anyone who dared to associate with Gu Changheng would suffer consequences in their family businesses. After Gu Changheng got together with Zhao Yunfeng, he didn’t want to complicate things for those people, so he gradually cut ties with them.

Gu Changheng dialed a number and said, “Liu Anbo, do you happen to know the phone number of Zhou Li in our class?”

“Zhou Li?” Liu Anbo replied, “I don’t know. Why do you need his phone number? Do you have something to discuss with him?”

“Yes, there is something.”

Liu Anbo said, “Just wait a moment, I’ll ask around.”

“Okay.”

Every second of waiting for Liu Anbo’s call felt extremely long to Gu Changheng. As soon as Liu Anbo’s call came through, he immediately pressed the answer button.

Liu Anbo said, “Zhou Li’s family is in a tough situation. He doesn’t have a phone.”

“No phone? Then do you know where Zhou Li lives?”

“Not really.”

Liu Anbo continued, “I’ve asked several people for you and got some insider information about his family.”

“Zhou Li is the product of his mother and father’s messed-up relationship. His mother ran away after he was born, and his father is a drug addict, looking like a zombie from the toll it’s taken on him. He’s been in and out of rehabilitation centers several times, and who knows how much longer he can last. It’s pretty scary.”

“Zhou Li stays at his uncle’s one day and his grandfather’s the next, and it’s all over the place. It’s hard for ordinary people to find him.”

When Zhou Li was with Gu Changheng, he rarely talked about his own life. If Gu Changheng asked, he mostly just smiled and said there was nothing to mention. If Gu Changheng pushed too hard, Zhou Li would blush and stammer, “If I tell you, you’ll definitely look down on me. It’s better not to say anything. It’s all in the past anyway.”

Gu Changheng had guessed that Zhou Li had a poor living environment when he was a child, but he never imagined it to be this bad.

Liu Anbo added, “Young Master Gu, if it’s not something urgent, just wait until school starts. He will probably go back to school then… But hey, he’s not really connected to us. Why do you want to find someone like him who is dirty all day long?”
