Chapter 797! He gave
(I didn’t notice yesterday that the chapter number of the previous chapter was wrong…)
……
As business partners, Gloria had a decent relationship with Lucy and Qiwei. Although they were a little surprised that the other party also knew Shen Ye, but... it seemed like a very good thing?
After taking a look at Gloria who was sitting next to Qiwei, Shen Ye shrugged his shoulders and then found a seat to sit down.
"Matteo, old rules...give this guy a drink...hey, Gloria, can he drink?"
Although he has been in Night City for several days, Shen Ye's thinking habits are still mainly based on reality. David's mother is here, and even though he is David's teacher, he still has to ask Gloria's opinion.
"He's already seventeen years old." Gloria waved her hand casually. Although she has been trying hard to play the role of a good mother over the years, being a mother in Night City is completely different from being a mother in the real world. As long as David does not degenerate to the point of hanging out with street thugs, she basically turns a blind eye.
However, even with Gloria's permission, Shen Ye still hesitated. In his opinion, seventeen years old was still too young...even though he had already sat at the table to drink with his elders when he was seventeen.
After thinking for a while, Shen Ye said to Matteo: "Then give him a bottle of beer first."
But David licked his lips and looked at the cup in his hand: "I think I can drink the same as you."
Hearing this, Shen Ye put his arm around his shoulders and whispered in his ear: "Don't think I don't know what you are up to. Listen, kid, you can't get drunk tonight... Do you understand me?"
"But..." His little thoughts were seen through, but David still wanted to fight for it.
"Okay, that's a matter for the future. I appreciate your kindness, but let's leave it at this for now." Shen Ye patted David on the shoulder and turned to look at Rita who was leaning against the bar.
"Would you like a drink, Rita?"
Rita now had a look of regret on her face. After not seeing each other for one night, it seemed that she had two more competitors.
"If I had known this would turn out like this, I would never have drunk so much last night..." she thought to herself.
So after hearing what Shen Ye said, she hesitated for a moment, then said: "Let me have a beer, I have to go out again later! I drank too much last night... Well, I can't always let Anna take my shift, right?"
"It's up to you." Shen Ye didn't force it.
Rita asked Matteo for a beer, but after just two sips, she noticed that David was staring at her.
She didn't know what the relationship between David and Shen Ye was, but being looked at with hostile eyes, she cursed in a low voice: "Look at your mother! Brat."
David didn't care about being scolded. This level of swearing is just like a greeting in Night City. He just pointed at Gloria and said, "My mother is over there, so you can't be my mother."
"Fuck!" Rita cursed again in a low voice, and then heard Shen Ye burst into laughter.
But seeing that Rita looked a little unhappy, Shen Ye forced himself to hold back his laughter, and then kicked David: "Don't look around, drink your wine."
After being kicked, David became more obedient and said "oh" while holding the wine bottle.
At this time, Gloria's side.
"I didn't expect you guys knew him." Gloria said in a low voice after taking a sip of wine.
"We didn't expect you and Shen Ye knew each other... No," Qi Wei looked at Gloria, then looked at David: "Is that child your son?"
"Yeah, seventeen." Gloria nodded.
"I can't tell!" Lucy glanced at Gloria's face. She didn't look like a woman who had given birth to a child. But then she said, "But you have a little problem. You like to stare at people. I, Qiwei, and that girl called Rita have all been stared at by her."
Of course Gloria knew why this happened. She felt helpless but also a little touched. After all, her child was for her own good.
But she couldn't say this. As someone who had experienced this, she clearly felt that the two women in front of her seemed to be interested in Shen Ye, so she said: "Ignore him, boys in their rebellious period are like this."
"It shouldn't be as simple as the rebellious period, right? Gloria, you two came here together." When Qi Wei said this, she turned her head to glance at Shen Ye and found that he was chatting with Rita.
Hearing this, Gloria felt a little embarrassed. Although David asked her to come, the decision was hers.
However, raising a child for a thousand days and using him for a moment, this is the time for him to repay, so Gloria said: "David insisted on coming, he is Shen's student."
"Gloria, you should know that's not what we want to know." Qi Wei rolled her eyes. After so many years in Night City, she has become a shrewd person.
"Your son regards us as your rivals."
Now that the words were exposed, Gloria simply said: "That's true, but it's mainly his wishful thinking."
"Who?"
"Of course it's David." Gloria said immediately. She didn't want Shen Ye to be misunderstood.
Speaking of which, apart from being scared by Shen Ye in the morning, she had a good impression of Shen Ye when they met again. He was polite, gentle, kind, rich, handsome... In short, all the beautiful words that only existed in fantasy in Night City could be applied to Shen Ye.
At least she didn't see the lustful look in Shen Ye's eyes that other people always had when they saw her. This was very rare.
So she had already believed what David said when he first introduced Shen Ye to her, that he was indeed a good man... to be honest, he was not a nice guy.
However, such good people are too rare in Night City, or almost non-existent. If he was just an ordinary man in Night City, with David's help, she might have some ideas, but for Shen Ye, she only had one thought, that is, she was not worthy of him.
This idea coincides with the thoughts of several women present. There are no normal people in Night City... Maybe this statement is wrong. It should be said that everyone in Night City is a normal person, and Shen Ye is the abnormal one.
However, people are complex and contradictory. Even if they feel that they are not worthy of the other party, after getting along with each other, they will inevitably have unrealistic ideas in their eyes. Maybe the other party really doesn’t care about their background?
After a moment of silence, Gloria asked, "Tell me the truth, do you regard me as an opponent?"
"What do you think?" Qi Wei narrowed her eyes.
Gloria said nothing, but just ran her hands over her body.
"Here." Lucy took out the cigarette that Shen Ye gave her in the morning and handed one to each of them.
When seeing the pack of cigarettes, Qiwei's gaze moved to Lucy's face.
"He gave it to me." Facing Qiwei's interrogative look, Lucy said calmly.
So, Qi Wei raised her eyebrows slightly...
