Chapter 1 - Slept with Feng Jia
Chapter 1: Slept with Feng Jia
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
On the double bed, the bodies of a man and woman intertwined. Their bodies were scalding hot.
The man was deep inside, the woman could barely take it. At the most critical moment, he pushed forcefully and the woman trembled.
A numbing sensation coursed through her body. The woman moaned and kicked the man¡¯s leg with the back of her foot. She said mercilessly, ¡°Get out.¡±
A hint of darkness shed across the man¡¯s cold eyes. He turned the woman¡¯s body and made her lie on her stomach. Without saying anything, he went in.
The woman bit her lower lip and snorted impatiently. Her body, which had been empty for more than half a month, was now filled.
His chest was close to her back, and the impact was getting stronger. He leaned close to her ear and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to break up?¡±
She understood what he meant. Since they were going to break up, why did she stille over to sleep with him?
The woman groaned and avoided his question.
She couldn¡¯t say that it was because he had a great body, nor that she was very lonely.
¡°Gu Chu,¡± he went deep into her. ¡°Speak.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t answer. She only called his name. ¡°Feng Jia, Feng Jia... be gentle...¡±
These words made the man even more excited.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Chu¡¯s feet tensed up and she saw fireworks in her eyes.
After it was done, Gu Chu hooked her arm around his neck and saidzily, ¡°I want to take a shower.¡±
Feng Jia was still energetic. He took her to the bathroom and stayed there for an hour.
When they came out of the bathroom, the sky was bright.
¡°Du ¨C¡±
Gu Chu groggily reached for the phone on the bedside table. It was sent to her by her good friend Lin Yin.
¡°Are you up? Wanna go out?¡±
Gu Chu tapped on the keyboard and replied, ¡°I¡¯m at Feng Jia¡¯s house.¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°? Didn¡¯t you break up?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just to solve my physiological needs.¡±
There was no response for a long time before another message came, ¡°You are engaged. This is normal.¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°Yes, sex is like food.¡±
She turned off Wechat and saw Feng Jia sleeping beside her. She lifted the nket and tiptoed to get out of bed.
¡°Going back?¡± Suddenly, she heard a voice.
Gu Chu replied with a ¡°yes¡± and did not turn around.
He sat up and said to her, ¡°There¡¯s no rush to go back. Come back with me for dinner. Grandfather wants to see you.¡±
Gu Chu refused immediately, ¡°No.¡±
Feng Jia looked at her for three seconds before asking in a low voice, ¡°Is it because of what happened half a month ago?¡±
Yes.
At that time, she was in a fit of anger, and coincidentally, she saw that scene. She immediately broke up with him, and it was very decisive.
She did not answer his question and said, ¡°I am not going with you.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes darkened. He did not quite understand the woman¡¯s sudden temper, but he still said, ¡°Grandfather has already stated that he wants you as his grand daughter-inw, so you don¡¯t have to take the rumors to heart.¡±
Oh.
It was his grandfather who had stated his position.
He really did not know whether it was because he was filial or because he was good at resolving conflicts.
After Gu Chu was done enjoying herself, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to his nonsense.
She stood up and was about to leave.
However, he grabbed her wrist and she fell back onto the bed. She asked angrily, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Feng Jia lifted her hand and took out a ring. He put it on her ring finger. After putting it on, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t throw it away again.¡±
It was their engagement ring.

At that time, she said angrily that she wanted to break up with him, and then she threw the ring at him.
Unexpectedly, he put it on her again today.
Feng Jia let go of her hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be childish. Grandfather likes you, and the Feng family also likes you, so everything is still the same. Our engagement is still in ce.¡±
He was very good-looking, but he¡¯s bad at talking.
It was fine if he didn¡¯t speak, but the moment he opened his mouth, he would anger others.
Gu Chu withdrew her hand coldly. ¡°You think I care about that? I saw that you got along well with that person. At worst, I¡¯ll give up my ce and make room for her.¡±
She spoke as if she didn¡¯t care, which made Feng Jia frown slightly.
He said, ¡°Are you still angry about that? I¡¯ve already exined it.¡±
Gu Chu sneered. ¡°What kind of exnation is that? It¡¯s fine that you were talking andughing with her that day. I¡¯ve seen the two of you talking in private twice! If you didn¡¯t do anything wrong, why did you feel guilty? And she¡¯s my sister! Is this how you treat me?¡±
Although he did not care, she had to let it out.
Moreover, that person was Gu Wan, her sister who had just returned home.
Ha!
After Gu Chu questioned him, she did not stay any longer and got off the bed in a huff.
She had stayed here a few times, so although it was his home, her clothes were in the closet.
She picked up a random piece of clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
As soon as she came out, she saw that he had also put on his clothes. Seeing that she was about to leave, he came over and grabbed her wrist. ¡°Since you haven¡¯t let go of that matter, why did youe to my housest night?¡±
Gu Chu rolled her eyes at him and couldn¡¯t be bothered to answer. ¡°Let go.¡±
He didn¡¯t let go.
Gu Chu kicked his calf. Then, she walked out of the door.
Feng Jia, who was behind her, looked at her back and frowned.
Gu Chu walked for twenty minutes, but she¡¯s still not out of his neighborhood. She scolded the bastard along the way.
She was tired after walking, so she found a chair by the roadside and sat down.
After she calmed down, she thought about what happened a month ago.
Twenty years ago, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Wan, had gone missing. She had been searching for her for many years, but there had been no news of her.
But just a month ago, Gu Wan suddenly returned to the Gu family. At first, Gu Chu was happy. She took her around Beijing and shared her beloved things with her.
But gradually, she realized that her sister wanted to take everything from her, including Feng Jia!
One day, she overheard her mother say, ¡°We owe all of this to Gu Wan. Our whole family owes her, especially Gu Chu! Back then, Gu Wan got lost because Gu Chu insisted on having candies. That was why Gu Wan took her out and got lost on the way back! She suffered for 20 years outside! What Gu Chu owed Gu Wan could never be repaid in her lifetime! Therefore, the Feng family¡¯s engagement should be given to Gu Wan!¡±
His mother added, ¡°Moreover, when she was engaged to the Feng family, although we didn¡¯t specify whether it was Gu Wan or Gu Chu, it should have been Gu Wan in the first ce since she was older. Now that Gu Wan is back, Gu Chu should return what is rightfully hers. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±
Thinking of this, Gu Chu¡¯s heart turned cold.
Before her sister came back, her mother had always been kind and gentle.
But since she came back, her mother had been scolding her and treating her coldly.
But ording to her mother,?she was the reason her sister got lost?
Ha! That¡¯s ridiculous! Gu Wan actually ndered her like this!

Chapter 3: Conversation with Lin Yin

Although she was still young at that time, it did not mean that she did not remember anything. Things were not like that at all!
Her mother believed everything Gu Wan said without even asking her!
She could not help but feel sad. When she turned around to leave, she happened to see Feng Jia and Gu Wan getting out of the same car!
Their eyes were fixed on each other!
She had seen them together twice in private. At that time, she did not think much of it. But now, when she heard that her mother wanted to give the engagement to Gu Wan, she felt that the way their eyes met was very ring!
It was extremely ring!
She and Feng Jia had a big fight. She wanted to break up with him and break off the engagement, but he did not agree.
The two parted on bad terms. They did not speak for more than half a month, apart from a few phone calls, they had no other contact.
In fact, during this half a month, there were rumors in Haicheng City that the engagement between the Feng and the Gu family had changed. It was Gu Wan who was marrying Feng Jia.
Even Feng Jia¡¯s sister mocked Gu Chu, saying that if their grandfather hadn¡¯t taken a fancy to Gu Chu, Gu Wan would have entered the Feng family long ago.
The cold wind was strong. Gu Chu saw a coffee shop by the roadside, so she went in to get a cup of hot coffee and stared nkly on the street.
One thing she had to admit was that she was indeed taking out her anger on Feng Jia. However, that¡¯s her temper. Moreover, Feng Jia had indeed lied, so of course she was angry.
At this moment, her cell phone rang.
She saw the caller ID. It was Lin Yin.
She sounded listless. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Are you still at Feng Jia¡¯s house?¡±
She took a deep breath. ¡°He kicked me out!¡±
¡°...¡±
¡°Lin Yin,e pick me up.¡±
Lin Yin and she were childhood friends. They grew up together, and their rtionship was closer than that of biological sisters.
When she rushed over and saw her listless look, she patted her head. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I¡¯m very curious. What does Feng Jia think of your sister¡¯s return?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know what he thinks about her. But what he thinks about me is that his grandfather likes me and the engagement still remains,¡± Gu Chu said, gnashing her teeth.
Lin Yin advised her, ¡°That¡¯s fine. As long as Feng Jia chooses you, then your mother can¡¯t let your sister marry Feng Jia even if she wants to!¡±
Gu Chu thought of the way the two of them looked at each other andughed. She said in a sullen tone, ¡°I don¡¯t care. He can marry whoever he wants!¡±
¡°That¡¯s bullsh * t!¡± Lin Yin¡¯s words were strong. ¡°You slept with Feng Jia, and now you don¡¯t want him anymore?!¡±
Gu Chu began to look dispirited again.
¡°Also, you said that?your sister is clearly ndering you. When she came back, she took away your parents, and now she wants to take away your fianc¨¦. What are you going to do now?¡±
Gu Chu sighed. ¡°I know, but I can¡¯t confront her, can I?¡±
¡°Of course not. If you confront her, you¡¯re putting all your cards on the table. It¡¯s not good for you. So, your top priority is to secure Feng Jia. As long as he¡¯s on your side, everything will be fine!¡±
Lin Yin paused, then looked at her and said, ¡°Tone down your temper. Men like women to be gentle.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Chu said weakly, ¡°I just kicked him.¡±
Lin Yin sighed, ¡°You really have a temper!¡±
Gu Chu thought what she said was not unreasonable. She stood up and said, ¡°Quick! Send me to Feng Corporation. I¡¯m going to see him!¡±
Chapter 4 - Looking for Feng Jia
Chapter 4: Looking for Feng Jia
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Before entering Feng Corporation, Gu Chu went to the perfume shop next door and bought a bottle of perfume.
It was said that this perfume was known to be used to seduce men.
After entering the building, she went straight to the front desk. ¡°I¡¯m looking for Feng Jia.¡±
The youngdy at the front desk knew her, so she quickly smiled and said, ¡°CEO Feng is in a meeting right now.¡±
He was in a meeting, so she waited for him in his office.
She went straight to the thirty-second floor and entered the CEO¡¯s office.
His assistant saw her and told her that he was in a meeting. He even made her a cup of tea.
After a long night, Gu Chu yawned andy on the sofa with her eyes closed.
In a daze, she was woken up by a kiss.
Feng Jia had returned at some point. His eyes were filled with lust, and his tongue was wrapped around hers. She felt as if he was swallowing her whole.
He knew her body very well, and with his touch, she could feel it too. Her hands could not help but wrap around his neck.
He reached his hand under her skirt. Gu Chu blinked, and she moved away from his lips. ¡°Wait, wait a minute.¡±
He didn¡¯t stop. He panted and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°I. . .¡± Gu Chu¡¯s cheeks were flushed red. She opened her legs slightly and moaned. ¡°I¡¯m not an unreasonable person.¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows in amusement. His fingers tickled her sensitive spots and said hoarsely, ¡°Continue.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t go in yet.¡± Gu Chu raised her head and said somewhat impatiently, ¡°I have something to say to you.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll listen while I do this.¡±
The two of them really didn¡¯t waste any time.
Gu Chu tried hard to suppress the sensationing from the lower half of her body. She took a deep breath, and ayer of mist appeared in front of her eyes.
She was already an attractive woman. Now that she was in lust, she was even more attractive. He felt her body soften in his hands.
Gu Chu grabbed his cor tightly and panted. ¡°Let me ask you, have you ever seen¡ Gu Wan at the Pavilion Water House?¡±
He pressed his fingertips against her and she frowned. ¡°G-gentler.¡±
¡°Yes,¡± He answered her in a low voice.
Gu Chu thought for a moment. ¡°Then, what about the International Trade Building?¡±
¡°Yes, I have.¡±
Gu Chu suddenly became angry. She pulled her body away and bit her lower lip. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you have never met each other in private?¡±
Feng Jiaughed. ¡°This is different. We¡¯ve passed by each other, but we never met in private. I¡¯ve passed by and greeted you before, but now we¡¯re meeting in private.¡±
As he spoke, he calmly took off her clothes and unzipped his pants.
Gu Chu heard his exnation and reluctantly epted it. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll take it that I¡¯ve misunderstood you before.¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, she was flipped over and her back was facing up. His body pressed against hers, and she felt his warm breath on her ear.
Gu Chu raised her head and muttered to herself. Her hands were tightly sped on the sofa, and her back was covered in ayer of sweat.
¡°You smell good,¡± Feng Jia said in a low voice beside her ear.
¡°Feng Jia¡ be gentle...¡± Gu Chu could no longer hear what he was saying. She curled up under him, her body trembling non-stop.
The perfume indeed lived up to its reputation. She wondered if he was excited by the scent.
He was getting deeper and deeper. Gu Chu was like a small boat drifting on a stormy sea. The strong waves pounded on her heavily.

After a while, Gu Chu went to the small lounge to take a shower.
She smelled the delicious aroma of food as soon as she came out.
She touched her stomach and realized that she was hungry.
Feng Jia opened the lunchbox and said to her, ¡°I bought this from your favorite restaurant.¡±
¡°Nice.¡± Gu Chu walked up quickly and took a chair to sit down.
As he ate, he looked at her inquisitively. ¡°Are you looking for me for something?¡±
Yes, he was extremely sharp.
She had put on perfume and slept with him for no reason. She did not look like she had just left the house in anger this morning.
She rolled her eyes. ¡°I just figured it out. I think it¡¯s better for the two of us to talk things out.¡±
¡°You only figured it out now?¡± Feng Jia raised an eyebrow. ¡°In the past half a month, no matter how many times I called you, you didn¡¯t pick up.¡±
Gu Chu pouted. ¡°You didn¡¯te to me.¡±
¡°I¡¯m overseas.¡±
¡°Oh, your fianc¨¦e was quarelling with you, and you still have the mood to work?¡±
¡°How can I support you if I don¡¯t earn money?¡±
¡°I can. I can support myself.¡±
¡°But, you often use my card.¡±
¡°...¡±
Ah? She used his card again?
She had so many cards in her bag, and she took any one of them. How could she have known that she had identally taken his?
She rummaged through her bag and found an unfamiliar card. She handed it to him. ¡°Here, I¡¯ll return it to you.¡±
He grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him. With the sudden movement, she flipped the bag over.
Gu Chu looked at the things on the floor and red at him. She threw the card on the table and bent down to pick up the things.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. He replied, ¡°Come in.¡±
It was his assistant. ¡°Mr. Feng, Miss Gu wants to see you.¡±
Miss Gu? Wasn¡¯t she here?
A thought shed through her mind. Oh, it wasn¡¯t her, it was Gu Wan!
She quickly gave Feng Jia a look.
He understood what she meant and said to his assistant, ¡°Let her in.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Feng Jia sat in his office chair while Gu Chu squatted by his feet, still picking up things. He asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°Nothing. I¡¯m just curious about your friendship. What can she talk to you about?¡±
That¡¯s right, she wanted to eavesdrop openly.
Feng Jia sighed. ¡°Sure.¡±
Other than spoiling her, what else could he do?
After Gu Chu put the things in her bag, she carried it and hid in the space under the desk.
At this moment, Gu Wan pushed the door open and entered.
¡°Mr. Feng,¡± She called out with a smile.
Feng Jia nodded. ¡°Miss Gu.¡±
¡°Are you eating? Sorry to bother you. I¡¯m here to return your things. I¡¯ll leave after I¡¯m done.¡±
As she spoke, there was a sound of something being ced on the table. Gu Chu heard Gu Wan¡¯s voice again, ¡°Your cufflinks were left at my ce. Do you remember? It was when we were at the hotel in M Country.¡±
Gu Chu listened to every word. She held her breath. What did she mean by that?
Hotel in M Country?! Wasn¡¯t he on a business trip?!!
They actually met at the hotel!
Then, what else did they do?!
The more Gu Chu thought about it, the colder her heart became.
Feng Jia replied tly, ¡°Thank you.¡±
Gu Wanughed. ¡°You¡¯re wee. You can continue eating. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±
Feng Jia stood up politely and said to her, ¡°I¡¯ll get my secretary to send you...¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, he frowned.
That¡¯s right, it was Gu Chu. She was pinching his calf!

Feng Jia lowered his head to look at her. She was the first toin. ¡°You are stepping on my bag.¡±
Then, she stood up.
A trace of shock shed across Gu Wan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Gu Chu, why are you here too?¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Gu Chu flipped her hair. ¡°I¡¯m having lunch with him. Have you eaten?¡±
Gu Wan put on a fake smile. ¡°I have.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s gaze fell on the cufflinks on the table. She seemed to have seen them before.
She looked at them yfully and then said to Feng Jia, ¡°Look at you. Why are you so careless? I bought them for you. What if you lose them?¡±
Her tone was coquettish. Feng Jia looked at her.
Gu Wan spoke softly for Feng Jia. ¡°CEO Feng didn¡¯t lose it on purpose. Don¡¯t be angry at him.¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Can you tell me how he lost them?¡±
Gu Wan was stunned for a moment before she continued, ¡°Perhaps he wasn¡¯t careful.¡±
Gu Chu pursued the question relentlessly, ¡°How?¡±
Gu Wan said, ¡°I think he dropped it by ident. I happened to see it. When I picked them up and was about to return them, he had already gone far away.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± Gu Chu said, ¡°I see.¡±
¡°Yeah, Chu Chu, you might have misunderstood,¡± Gu Wan said with a smile.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
How could I not misunderstood what you said in the beginning!
Gu Wan said again, ¡°Chuchu, you haven¡¯t been home for more than half a month. It¡¯s mom¡¯s birthday in two days. You muste back.¡±
After that, she added, ¡°We can¡¯t let outsiders see us as a joke.¡±
The corners of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll definitely go back.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go now.¡±
After saying that, she slowly left.
Heh, Gu Chu looked at her back and sneered in her heart.
She wasn¡¯t blind. Didn¡¯t she see that there were two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks on the table? She even said those misleading words.
She really was scheming.
At this moment, Feng Jia asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know that you bought these for me?¡±
They weren¡¯t important, so he didn¡¯t really care.
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you met her in country M?¡±
¡°It was just a coincidence. There¡¯s no need to tell you,¡± He replied indifferently.
Ha!
Gu Chu was so angry that she lost her appetite instantly. She ced her chopsticks on the bowl. ¡°You don¡¯t tell me anything. How do you think I would feel when I heard about you from another woman?¡±
Feng Jia listened to her words and said as if he understood her. ¡°You¡¯re beating around the bush. Do you want my schedule?¡±
Then, he continued, ¡°I¡¯ll ask my assistant to send you a copy in the future.¡±
Gu Chu was so angry by his words that she stood up. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything to him. She took her bag and was about to leave.
He thought that she was going to check up on him!
Feng Jia saw her stand up and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re not going to eat anymore?¡±
Gu Chu rolled her eyes at him, mmed the door and left.
Feng Jia, who saw her leave, frowned even more.
Gu Chu walked out of the Feng building in a huff. She turned around and looked at the golden signboard. It looked so high and mighty that it made others feel intimidated.
She had to admit that Feng Jia was indeed an eligible bachelor who was coveted by many.
However, this did not mean that she had topromise.
Whatever. Gu Chu nned to go back to her apartment. However, she remembered that her mother¡¯s birthday wasing up.
So she took a taxi home.
Chapter 7 - Gu Wan’s Explanation
Chapter 7: Gu Wan¡¯s Exnation
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
The Gu family¡¯s front door slowly opened. She walked past the front yard and went straight into the main house.
Hearing the voices in the living room, Gu Chu stopped in her tracks.
It was Gu Wan¡¯s voice. ¡°I just went to deliver cufflinks to Mr. Feng. He was just having lunch. I came back right after.¡±
Mrs. Gu stroked her hair and said tenderly, ¡°Eating sote? Sigh, they always forget to eat when they get busy. Your dad is the same. How can his stomach bear it if this goes on?¡±
Gu Wan smiled. ¡°But dad has you to remind him. CEO Feng doesn¡¯t have anyone to remind him at all.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile. She slowly walked into the hall and said calmly, ¡°Feng Jia is waiting for me to have lunch, that¡¯s why it¡¯s sote.¡±
The moment she said that, the two people in the living room immediately turned their heads to look at her.
Gu Chu changed her shoes and said as she walked in, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. He eats three meals a day. He¡¯s very disciplined and knows how to maintain his health better than the elderly.¡±
Mrs. Gu behaved a little strangely. ¡°Chuchu is back.¡±
¡°Yeah, I was having dinner with Feng Jia just now. I bumped into Gu Wan too, but she left quickly. I wanted to take a ride back with her.¡±
Mrs. Gu nced at Gu Wan. Why didn¡¯t she mention that she saw Gu Chu just now?
Gu Chu walked past them and went straight to the second floor. As she walked, she said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going to rest on the second floor first.¡±
She was really tired.
Even though her body had been empty for more than half a month, Feng Jia shouldn¡¯t have made up for it this way. It was too much!
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get someone to call you down for dinner.¡±
As soon as she entered her room, Gu Chu was so tired that she copsed on her bed.
Not only was she physically tired, but also mentally tired.
This was because during the half a month that she had been away from home, her mother had not called her once.
Before Gu Wan came back, her mother would call her whenever she was not home, regardless of whether she lived in her apartment or in Feng Jia¡¯s ce.
Ever since Gu Wan came back, her mother seemed to have forgotten that she had another daughter. All her attention was on Gu Wan.
She was really tired. She took off her clothes and put them in theundry basket. After changing into her pajamas, she was ready to go to bed.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. ¡°Chuchu, it¡¯s my sister.¡±
Gu Chu raised his voice and said, ¡°Pleasee in.¡±
Gu Wan pushed the door open and came in. ¡°Chuchu, I was just thinking about it. I went to return CEO Feng¡¯s cufflinks today. Did you misunderstand and were angry?¡±
Gu Chu smiled wryly. ¡°Why would I?¡±
¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re not angry. Actually, CEO Feng and I know this very well, so we didn¡¯t make things clear. I didn¡¯t expect you to be here, so on the way back, I was wondering if you had misunderstood me.¡±
Gu Chu looked at her. She really didn¡¯t expect her toe over to exin. She turned around and said, ¡°There¡¯s no misunderstanding. He¡¯s your future brother-inw. How could I misunderstand the two of you?¡±
Gu Wan revealed a gentle smile. ¡°It¡¯s good that you haven¡¯t misunderstood. I just came back not long ago. Before you get married, we still have some time to get along. I hope we can be happy together.¡±
Gu Chu replied with an indifferent ¡°Mm¡±.
¡°Then you can continue to rest. I¡¯m going back to my room. Remember to go downstairs for dinner.¡±
Gu Chuy down. She felt that what Gu Wan said just now was either because she really had a clear conscience, or because she was afraid that she would be on guard against her, so she eagerly came over to exin.
No matter which it was, she was not who she was when Gu Wan just came back.
She woke up when the housekeeper called her dinner and got out of bed in a daze. At this moment, her phone beeped. It was a Wechat notification.
This message was sent to her by Feng Jia. ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip this weekend and won¡¯t be able to go to your mother¡¯s birthday party. Please wish her happy birthday for me and apologize on my behalf. I¡¯ll get my assistant to deliver the gift.¡±
Gu Chu typed ¡°Okay.¡±
Feng Jia couldn¡¯t help but frown when he saw her reply. She seemed very distant. He thought about how she had walked out of the office angrily and rubbed his eyebrows. This little devil always caused trouble.
That night, Mr. Gu came home for dinner. When he saw Gu Chu, he asked in a warmly, ¡°Chu Chu, why didn¡¯t you go to the office today?¡±
Gu Chu pouted. ¡°You¡¯re the chairman. Why are you still in charge of the employees¡¯ attendance?¡±
Mr. Gu smiled. ¡°I was looking for you, but I couldn¡¯t find you.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± Gu Chu asked, ¡°What is it?¡±
At the Gu family¡¯s dining table, Gu Chu and Mr. Gu started to talk about work. Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan listened quietly at the side and did not interrupt.

But after they finished talking, Mrs. Gu said, ¡°Hubby, Chuchu, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s time for Wanwan to go to thepany for an internship?¡±
Gu Chu stopped moving the chopsticks in her hand and did not reply.
Mrs. Gu said again, ¡°Chuchu, take Wanwan under your wing.¡±
Gu Chu did not agree immediately. Instead, she said, ¡°Let dad get someone to do that.¡±
Mrs. Gu seemed to be a little displeased. ¡°You two are sisters. You should help each other at all times.¡±
Gu Chu did not look at her. She looked directly at Mr Gu. ¡°I really can¡¯t spare the time right now. I¡¯m at a critical juncture in a project involving Haicheng Company.¡±
Mr. Gu knew the importance of this project better than Mrs. Gu, so he said, ¡°I¡¯ll let Mr. Li help Wanwan.¡±
Then, he looked at Gu Wan kindly. ¡°Mr. Li is very experienced. You¡¯ll learn a lot from him.¡±
Gu Wan nodded. ¡°Thank you, dad. I¡¯ll learn well.¡±
Mr. Gu nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Good girl¡±
Then, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into her bowl.
Gu Chu lowered her head to eat. She did not expect her mother to let Gu Wan into thepany so early. However, it was true that she did not have the time to take Gu Wan in. Secondly, she really did not want to.
She was not afraid that Gu Wan wouldpete with her for power. Instead, she was toozy to pretend to be close to her sister all the time.
It was fine if she pretended at home, but if she still had to pretend at thepany, she would be so tired and depressed.
However, her mother was only thinking about Gu Wan.
Gu Chu felt a little ufortable.
At this moment, Gu Wan suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Dad, didn¡¯t you want to give me try the crab from Xieshuiju?¡±
Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Gu Chu ufortably.
Gu Chu also sensed something strange.
The housekeeper thought she was being acute and said, ¡°When the master came in just now, he gave me the box. It¡¯s in the kitchen now. I¡¯ll bring it over now.¡±
There were only a limited number of crabs from Xieshuiju every day. If an ordinary person wanted to eat them, they had to make an appointment in advance. From this, it could be seen how popr the crabs were.
The housekeeper heated the crab and ced it on a te. When she brought it over, she nced at Gu Chu with an awkward expression.
Gu Chu was puzzled by Mr. Gu and the housekeeper¡¯s looks, so she looked at the te.
Then, she understood what was going on.
Oh, so there was only one crab.
Her parents did not want to eat the crab, but there was only one crab. Her father had specially bought it for Gu Wan.
In other words, there was nothing for her!
The housekeeper also knew that there was nothing for Gu Chu, so she did not dare to ce it in front of Gu Wan. She ced it in the middle of the table as if it was for everyone to eat.
After all, in the past, all the good things at home were given to Gu Chu.
At this moment, Gu Wan said considerately, ¡°Dad definitely did not know that you wereing back today, so he only bought one. Chuchu, why don¡¯t I give this to you?¡±
Give? How nice.
Since when did she, Gu Chu, need sympathy?
Actually, she had just overlooked a fact.
In the past half a month, not only had her mother not contacted her, but her father had also not contacted her.
Feng Jia at least made a few phone calls, but she did not expect them not to make a single call.
She loved eating crab. Her father had often bought it for her in the past, but when he bought the crab today, he had only thought of Gu Wan and not her?
Mrs. Gu picked up a piece of vegetable and ced it into Gu Wan¡¯s bowl. Sheforted her, ¡°I will bring you to Xiashuiju to eat tomorrow.¡±
¡°Thank you, mom.¡± Gu Wan smiled sweetly.
This scene was really ironic in her eyes.
Now, there seemed to be only two options for her.
She could either take it or give it to Gu Wan.
Her father bought it for Gu Wan, so she couldn¡¯t keep it for herself.
And even if she did, it was because Gu Wan gave it to her.
But if she really let Gu Wan have it, she wouldn¡¯t feel good about it.
She thought for a moment and said to the housekeeper, ¡°Ask the chef to take out the crab meat and divide it into two portions. I¡¯ve done a manicure today and don¡¯t want to peel it myself.¡±
Mr. Gu looked at her with satisfaction. ¡°Mmm. I see that both of you like it. I¡¯ll buy a few more tomorrow.¡±
Gu Wan smiled and replied, ¡°Okay, thank you, dad.¡±
After dinner, Gu Chu did not stay any longer and went straight to her room.
After showering, she called Lin Yin and told her about what had happened that evening.
Lin Yin chuckled, ¡°Can¡¯t you just give it to her? It¡¯s not like it¡¯s for you.¡±
¡°What if it were you?¡± Gu Wan raised her eyebrows.
Lin Yin immediately grinned, ¡°Then I would definitely say ¡®Thank you. You love me as much as our parents.¡¯ ¡±

Gu Chu said bluntly, ¡°So fake!¡±
¡°Haha.¡± Lin Yinughed so hard that she pped her thigh.
Then, she stoppedughing and asked again, ¡°Oh right, Gu Wan has been missing for so many years. How did she suddenly get found?¡±
¡°I asked my parents about this too, but they didn¡¯t exin it clearly, so I didn¡¯t ask.¡±
Lin Yin sighed. ¡°What the hell, so mysterious?¡±
In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, and Mrs. Gu¡¯s birthday party took ce as scheduled.
The party was held in the banquet hall of the Gu family mansion. With the Gu family¡¯s status in Haicheng City, all the celebrities woulde.
The orchestra on the stage yed a melodious tune. The chandeliers above their heads were shining bright, and there were all kinds of expensive wines and pastries.
Someone clicked his tongue and praised, ¡°The Gu family is really generous. This orchestra ys at the national level, so it¡¯s not easy to invite them.¡±
Another person said, ¡°Oh, how can you not know about the Gu Family? Besides, the Gu and Lin families are both famous and don¡¯tck money!¡±
When that person heard that, he sighed, ¡°These two families are close too. It¡¯s true that rich people only mingle with rich people.¡±
At this moment, another person stood up and said, ¡°The Feng family isn¡¯t bad either. If not, would the Gu family have an engagement with their family?¡±
¡°You¡¯re right. However, I heard that the person who is going to marry into the Gu family has been reced. It¡¯s the eldest daughter of the Gu family now, Gu Wan!¡±
As soon as these words were said, the people around her quickly covered their mouths.
Gu Chu stood behind them and listened to their conversation. She slowly swallowed the red wine in her mouth.
One thing that she had to admit was that Feng Jia was such a bastard.
The rumors between them had spread all over the ce. He acted as if nothing had happened and didn¡¯t even show his face.
She was already hiding in this corner, yet she could still hear their discussions.
It was really suffocating.
Then, she heard the first person ask, ¡°Where did you hear the news from? Is It true?¡±
¡°Why do I need to hear it from somewhere else? Look, they came together.¡±
As she spoke, she pointed at the door.
Gu Chu could not help but look towards the door as well.
As expected, she saw a tall figure walking over with a graceful woman standing beside him.
The man was Feng Jia, and the woman was Gu Wan.
They were both good-looking, and they had attracted the attention of many people.
Naturally, this included her as well. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.
They walked towards Mr. and Mrs. Gu together. From the looks of it, they really did look like a newlywed couple.
Seeing this, Gu Chu tightened the wine ss in her hand.
Didn¡¯t he say that he was on a business trip and didn¡¯t have time to attend the birthday party?
Gu Chu¡¯s heart began to feel sour. Her gaze was fixated on their every move, and the more she looked at them, the darker her gaze became.
At this moment, Feng Jia suddenly looked in her direction. She subconsciously hid behind the pir again.
After hiding, she wondered why she was hiding? She shouldn¡¯t be the one feeling guilty!
At this moment, the group of people started their discussions again.
¡°Look, they are toasting. It seems that the rumors are true.¡±
¡°Then what do you think Gu Chu should do?¡±
¡°I think, in the future, we¡¯ll see how Gu Chu can be so arrogant. Her fianc¨¦ has been snatched away. Why is she such a piece of trash?¡±
¡°She deserves it! She used to rely on her family¡¯s power and influence to do whatever she wanted in Haicheng City. Now, she¡¯s finally defeated by her sister! By the way, where is she? Is she too ashamed toe out?¡±
¡°Must be, hahaha!¡±
Gu Chu, who was eavesdropping from behind them, snorted coldly and walked over. She asked in a deep voice, ¡°I heard that you guys are looking for me?¡±
They really didn¡¯t know that she had been behind them the entire time. Their expressions all changed.
¡°You guys are here to attend my mother¡¯s birthday party. On the surface, you¡¯re being polite, but behind my back, you¡¯re talking about my family¡¯s affairs. That¡¯s not appropriate, right?¡±
She was thinking that she had nowhere to vent her anger. Who asked them to offend her!
¡°We didn¡¯t mean anything by it. We were just joking,¡± Someone immediately said with a change of expression.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Of course I know you were joking. If I had taken it seriously, you would have been kicked out!¡±
They forced a smile that was uglier than crying. ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s right. Haha¡¡±
Gu Chu pushed the wine ss forward. ¡°You are guests. Let me give you a toast.¡±
Then, she looked at the wine ss and said, ¡°I¡¯ll toast to the three of you and you should return the favor. You have to drink three sses each, ok?¡±
Their faces froze. Everyone knew this party was just a show.

If they really drank three sses of wine, they would definitely need to help each other up and go home to avoid making a fool of themselves.
But why did they have to drink three sses of wine each?!
What kind of bullsh * t logic is this?
But then again, who would dare argue with Gu Chu.
They could only admit defeat.
They forced out a bitter smile. ¡°Of course..¡±
With that, they drank the wine in their sses.
After three sses of wine, their bodies began to shake, especially the one who mocked Gu Chu the most. He had only taken two steps when he almost fell, attracting the attention of many people.
Gu Chu looked at them coldly and ordered the staff to send them back.
Feeling Feng Jia¡¯s gaze, she walked over.
Today, she was wearing a wine-red body-hugging dress. Her fair skin and beautiful long legs swayed as she walked.
When she walked in front of Feng Jia, she finally stood still. Feng Jia¡¯s gaze followed her all the way. Even Gu Wan, who was beside her, noticed it.
Mrs. Gu asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Nothing much. They drank a few more sses, so I asked someone to send them back,¡± Gu Chu replied.
Feng Jia interrupted, ¡°You can¡¯t hold your liquor well, so you should drink less.¡±
However, Gu Chu couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She downed the wine in her ss in one gulp as if he wasn¡¯t there.
Gu Wan, who was standing beside him, said, ¡°Chuchu, CEO Feng is saying this for your own good.¡±
Judging from her tone, she was implying that she didn¡¯t know what was good for her.
Gu Chu was annoyed at her pretentious look. She couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°I don¡¯t allow others to interfere in my rtionship with him.¡±
A trace of displeasure shed across Mrs. Gu¡¯s face. ¡°Chuchu, how could you speak like that to Wanwan? She¡¯s saying this for your own good.¡±
Gu Wan, on the other hand, grabbed Mrs. Gu¡¯s hand, feeling wronged. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s not Chuchu¡¯s fault. I was the one who spoke out of turn.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡± She was disgusted again.
At this moment, Lin Yin¡¯s mother, Sun Lin, came over with a wine ss. The Lin family was on good terms with the Gu family, and Sun Lin had practically watched her grow up.
Gu Chu took the initiative to greet her politely. ¡°Auntie Lin, this pair of jade earrings of yours seem to be new.¡±
Sun Lin subconsciously touched them. ¡°Yeah, I just got themst month.¡±
¡°I was also present at the auction. I auctioned the ne of the same design and gave it to my mother as a birthday present.¡± Gu Chu smiled and said, ¡°This way, you guys will be wearing the same designs.¡±
Sun Lin looked at Mrs. Gu and saw it. She smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s really the same design. It looks really good on you. Chuchu is really filial.¡±
Mrs. Gu looked a little ufortable. Then she said, ¡°Chuchu has always had good taste. Oh right, you haven¡¯t met my other daughter, right?¡±
Then, she pushed Gu Wan forward. ¡°This is my eldest daughter, Gu Wan. Wanwan, quickly greet Auntie Lin.¡±
Gu Wan smiled sweetly. ¡°Hello, Auntie Lin.¡±
Sun Lin also smiled. ¡°Good girl. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. It¡¯s been hard on you all these years. By the way, how old are youpared to Chuchu? Do you have a boyfriend?¡±
¡°Three years older.¡± Gu Wan¡¯s smile suddenly turned shy. ¡°Not yet.¡±
¡°Then we have to hurry. Look at your sister. It¡¯s already decided.¡±
Sun Lin then looked at Gu Chu and Feng Jia and said, ¡°When do you n to get married? This year is a good year. Why don¡¯t we have the wedding this year?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s face stiffened. She really didn¡¯t know how to answer.
Although she and Feng Jia had been engaged for three years, she really hadn¡¯t considered getting a marriage certificate.
She subconsciously looked at Feng Jia.
Feng Jia was also looking at her at this moment. His eyes were dark, making it hard to see his thoughts clearly.
Gu Chu brushed the hair beside her ear. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. We¡¯re still young.¡±
Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan both heaved a sigh of relief. Mrs. Gu held Sun Lin¡¯s hand and said, ¡°They¡¯re not like us back then. Nowadays, people marry and have childrente.¡±
Sun Lin looked at Feng Jia with some dissatisfaction. ¡°Chuchu is a good child. She¡¯s so likable. You have to hurry up.¡±
Feng Jia held Gu Chu¡¯s hand and answered, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡±
Then, he pulled Gu Chu away.
Sun Lin looked at their backs and said to Mrs. Gu, ¡°If Chuchu hadn¡¯t been engaged long ago, I would have let my son marry her. I¡¯ve watched Chuchu grow up. I like her a lot!¡±
Her son, Lin Yu?
Feng Jia knew this person. He had a good rtionship with Gu Chu.
No, it was said that they were childhood sweethearts?
Feng Jia stopped and looked at her without a trace of emotion in his eyes. ¡°I heard that you have a good rtionship with the Lin family?¡±

Chapter 11: What was He Going to Do?
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu answered himzily, ¡°Yeah, haven¡¯t you heard of it?¡±
He asked again, ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you marry into the Lin family?¡±
Gu Chu rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Firste, first served. Wasn¡¯t I engaged to you first? My family isn¡¯t treacherous.¡±
Then, she thought of something and said, ¡°Oh right, your family is a new upper ss family now, so you can choose who to marry.¡±
It¡¯s up to him to choose her or Gu Wan.
He understood what she meant and leaned close to her ear. ¡°Didn¡¯t I choose you long ago?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°If you didn¡¯t say it, everyone would have thought that you chose Gu Wan.¡±
The little vixen¡¯s jealous look was inexplicably charming.
Feng Jia replied in a low voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t I choose you long ago?¡±
It was rare for this bastard to say such sweet words. His voice was perfect and had a bewitching quality to it.
Gu Chu turned her head away, and the tip of her ears turned red.
Feng Jia pulled her arm and pulled her to his chest. Her waist was so slim and soft to the touch. He said, ¡°I have nothing to do with her. How many more times do you want me to say it?¡±
Gu Chu pushed his chest. ¡°Let go of me.¡±
She did not believe him.
¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± His deep voice sounded in her ear.
Her movement just now had aroused his desire. He pressed his body against her.
Gu Chu noticed his strange behavior and stuttered. ¡°You¡¡±
He replied, ¡°Come home with meter.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°I have something to talk to you about.¡±
¡°What can¡¯t we talk about it here?¡±
Feng Jia chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you want to do it here.¡±
After saying that, he turned her around and ced her hands on the stone wall.
They were far away from the banquet hall, and the light was dim. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that there was a man and a woman here.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Gu Chu asked in fright.
Feng Jia¡¯s tone was a little hoarse. ¡°I thought you wanted to do it here?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Do what here?
Then, she felt a handing up her smooth thigh. With a hook of his finger, it pulled her underwear down!
Gu Chu¡¯s hair stood on end. ¡°Wait!¡±
However, in the next second, the man¡¯s finger was already inside.
It was a little dry. Gu Chu had yet to awaken, and her entire body was desperately resisting him.
She remembered that he was not a lustful person. How could he suddenly be in heat at this time?
¡°Rx.¡± He exerted force on his hand, and all of it went in.
Gu Chu ced her hands on the stone wall and grunted.
Although no one woulde here, if they made a sound, they would definitely be discovered!
She begged in a low voice, ¡°No!¡±
Even though she said no, her body still responded.
After all, they had slept together for three years, and her body had long beenpletely devoured by him. Her body could not help but tremble.
Then, a wave of heat coursed through her body. Gu Chu¡¯s legs went weak and she almost fell down. The man quickly wrapped his arms around her waist.
She tried her best to hold back the moans. She could not bear the impact.
She had never expected that one day they would be doing this at a party at her house.
She did not know whether he or she was crazy.
His lips caressed the back of her neck, leaving hot kisses behind. Even Gu Chu¡¯s fingertips were numb.
After an unknown amount of time, her vision went nk. She grabbed his arm tightly, and her clothes were drenched in sweat.
After doing it once, both of them looked messy. His shirt was wet, and her skirt should not be seen by others.
The two of them sneakily avoided the crowd and returned to her room via a small path. He changed into a new shirt, and she took a shower in the bathroom. She casually changed into a bathrobe and came out.
When she took a shower just now, she found that her neck had been bitten by him, leaving a mark.
On the other hand, there was not a single mark on his body. He looked so well-dressed that it was impossible to tell what had just happened between them.
He was just too much of a bastard. He had entered the house with Gu Wan and then dragged her to the side to do that. What did he take her for?
She red at him fiercely.
His hand that was tying his tie paused. ¡°I couldn¡¯t hold it back just now. Are you okay?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Okay my ass!
Gu Chu asked unhappily, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wouldn¡¯te to the birthday party?¡±
Feng Jia tidied his cor and replied, ¡°I¡¯ve finished my work.¡±
Gu Chu was even more annoyed. ¡°Oh, right. As soon as you finished your work, you apanied Gu Wan to attend the birthday party. You¡¯re really thoughtful.¡±

Chapter 12: Caught Red-handed
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Feng Jia frowned. ¡°I just happened to meet her at the door.¡±
Just happened to meet? They were really fated to meet. Was it always a coincidence?
Gu Chu simply chuckled. ¡°Then you two are really fated.¡±
Hearing her sarcastic tone, a hint of helplessness shed across Feng Jia¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. If you don¡¯t believe me, what can I do?¡±
So he¡¯s impatient with her now!
He really could always provoke her anger. Did he think that she wouldn¡¯t speak up? She red at him. ¡°Even if you just happened to meet, don¡¯t you know how to avoid suspicion? Why don¡¯t you just stay far away? Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t know what the outside world is saying about you two!¡±
It was originally a very imposing sentence, but because she was wearing a bathrobe, the imposing manner was weakened. The way she jumped around was rather cute.
Feng Jia said patiently, ¡°It¡¯s just gossip. You don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡±
Gu Chu was so angry that she almostughed. ¡°Those words weren¡¯t targetes at you. Of course you¡¯re not affected.¡±
Feng Jia asked her, ¡°Then are you someone who cares about gossips?¡±
Gu Chu was stunned.
Feng Jia looked up at the clock. ¡°The birthday party is about to end. I¡¯m going to say goodbye to your parents. Do you want to go back with me today?¡±
Gu Chu replied stiffly, ¡°No.¡±
Feng Jia sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
Gu Chu looked at his back and stomped her foot angrily.
When she thought of all the coincidences between him and Gu Wan, her heart felt stifled and she couldn¡¯t even catch her breath.
At this moment, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was from her secretary.
¡°Hello?¡±
¡°Director Gu.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Director Wang has returned to the country.¡±
¡°Which Director Wang?¡±
¡°Director Wang of the Wang Tai Corporation, Wang Min. Should we go and meet him?¡±
Wang Tai Corporation was in charge of the Haicheng project. She had always wanted to cooperate with them.
However, Wang Tai Corporation had no intention of doing so for the time being. After all, they had theplete development chain in their hands. They were not in a hurry to seek third party¡¯s cooperation.
¡°Sure,¡± Gu Chu replied.
¡°Oh right, I heard that the Feng Corporation is also quite interested in this project. Director Wang came back because he was invited by Director Feng.¡±
Gu Chu was a little frustrated. She walked in front of the French window to get some fresh air. Coincidentally, her sharp eyes saw a man and a woman standing not far away.
The lights were bright, and the man and woman were standing in a ce where the light was dim. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see them.
However, how should one put it? It¡¯s as though she was meant to see them.
The two people were none other than Feng Jia and Gu Wan.
The secretary on the other end of the line asked curiously, ¡°Director Gu, are you listening?¡±
Gu Chu let out a breath. ¡°Yes.¡±
The secretary asked again, ¡°Are we still going to see Director Wang?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Gu Chu saw a group of people walking towards them and her heart tightened. She hurriedly replied to her, ¡°Book the ne tickets first. We¡¯ll go to Yangcheng City tomorrow.¡±
After giving her instructions, she hung up.
The leader of that group of people was Mrs. Gu. If they got close, they would definitely see Feng Jia and Gu Wan standing together.
This way, there will be more gossip tomorrow.
Rumors about the change of engagement, Feng Jia and Gu Wan¡¯s close rtionship... She, Gu Chu, would be the abandoned woman they talked about!
She would not take this!
She quickly put her phone away and ran downstairs.
Fortunately, this was her home. She ran over to Feng Jia and Gu Wan without caring about her image.
Her sudden appearance gave the two of them a fright. She did not know what they were talking about, but Gu Wan¡¯s eyes were red.
If this scene was seen by others, it would be a miracle if they were not suspected!
At this moment, the group of people who were chatting andughing walked over. When Mrs. Gu saw Feng Jia and Gu Wan standing together, she asked in surprise, ¡°What are you two doing?¡±
She sounded shocked, but there was also a hint of catching someone red-handed.
Immediately, someone in the crowd said, ¡°It seems that the next time wee to the Gu family, we will be attending Ms. Gu and CEO Feng¡¯s wedding.¡±
Gu Wan blushed and said helplessly, ¡°No, no...¡±
She sounded shy!
Gu Chu snorted and walked out from behind the tree. She smiled and said, ¡°Why do you only see my sister and not me?¡±
It turned out that there was another person behind the tree!
Everyone was shocked!

Chapter 13: Everything is Said in Silence
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Sun Lin was the first to speak. ¡°Chuchu, you¡¯re here too. Why did you change your clothes?¡±
Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Gu Chu. She was wearing a wine-red evening gown earlier, and she looked stunning. Why did she change her clothes and remove her makeup in the blink of an eye?
Gu Chu lowered her head in embarrassment. Coincidentally, a part of her neck was exposed. It was bruised. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what had happened at a nce.
They looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said in silence.
Sun Lin red at them. The party had not ended yet. How inappropriate.
At this moment, an entric noblewoman turned to look at Gu Wan. ¡°She¡¯s here on a date. What is Ms. Gu Wan doing here?¡±
Gu Wan did not expect her to turn the tables so quickly. She blinked and did not know what to say. ¡°I, I...¡±
Gu Chu interrupted, ¡°She just happened to pass by here. By the way, didn¡¯t you say you were going back to your room? You¡¯ve been back for so long, why did you still take the wrong way? Maybe it was because the lights were too dim.¡±
Gu Wan did not know why Gu Chu helped her. She forced a smile. ¡°Yes, I drank a little too much and did not see the road clearly.¡±
Sun Lin smiled and said, ¡°Chuchu, you¡¯re wearing so little. You should go back to your room quickly. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡±
Feng Jia took her hand. ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± When she passed by Gu Wan, she looked at her, ¡°It seems that you have to go around the house more. Next time, don¡¯t get lost again.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s heart sank, and she almost couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°Yes, thank you for the reminder.¡±
When they returned to her room, Feng Jia said to her again, ¡°Come back with me.¡±
Hehe, Gu Chu asked with a cold face, ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say to me?¡±
¡°What?¡± Feng Jia looked puzzled.
He really knew how to pretend. Gu Chu said coldly, ¡°Before this, you always said that it was a coincidence. Now,, you can¡¯t even be bothered to say that it was a coincidence?¡±
¡°Nothing happened between us.¡±
It was always the same sentence. What else could she expect? Gu Chu felt that she was stupid. She thought that he would have an exnation.
However, she did not expect that he could not be bothered to exin at all.
She opened the door angrily. ¡°Leave.¡±
¡°Are you really not going back with me?¡±
¡°No!¡± Gu Chu¡¯s expression turned even colder.
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
He sighed and walked away.
B * stard! Gu Chu kicked the door twice!
Wasn¡¯t this even worth an exnation from him?! Or was it that he was toozy to exin and thought that she wouldn¡¯t fight with him? !
Did he actually think that he had her in his grasp?
At this moment, her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a flight ticket confirmation from her secretary.
It was good to make a trip to Yangcheng City. She needed to calm down and think about her future.
Shey on the bed and covered herself with the nket. Then, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
*
The weather was bad and the flight was dyed. Gu Chu closed the sunshade and continued to sleep.
At the same moment, Feng Jia got up and put on a suit and tie.
His phone vibrated and he picked it up. It was a call from his secretary. ¡°CEO Feng, the car is ready. We can set off for the airport.¡±
His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°Okay.¡±
The most important project in Haicheng City recently was the Yangchang project. It was arge-scale internationalplex mall that was about to be built.
The location was excellent, and it was marketed as a new type of mall. It caused countless businessmen to fight over it.
The prospects of this project were limitless, and they were confident that it would make a lot of money.
However, this project had already been taken over by Wang Tai Group.
Wang Tai Group had theplete development chain and the funding. They could have taken over this project without ever looking for a partner.
However, Gu Chu was not willing to give up. She had been following this project, and it turned out that she was just one step away. However, it was suddenly taken over by Wang Tai Group, and she was left with no choice.
Mr. Gu was strict to begin with. He knew that she had put in a lot of effort in this project. If it failed, he would hold her ountable even if she was his daughter. Moreover, she was apetitive person. She would never give up until thest moment.
Therefore, she thought that if she could persuade the Wang Tai Group to cooperate with them, there might be a way to salvage the situation.
Since the Feng Corporation was also in contact with them, it meant that they were considering it. Since they had softened their stance, there was room for negotiation.
Hence, Gu Chu would not give up.
After getting off the ne, Gu Chu went straight to the Wang Tai building.
Chapter 14 - Meeting CEO Wang
Chapter 14: Meeting CEO Wang
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu came to the front desk and said to the receptionist, ¡°Hello, I want to see CEO Wang.¡±
The receptionist asked politely, ¡°Do you have an appointment?¡±
¡°No.¡± Gu Chu shook his head and asked her, ¡°Can I make one now?¡±
¡°And you are?¡±
¡°Gu Chu, head of operations of the GU Group.¡±
The front deskdy suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her meaningfully, then she lowered her eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll make an appointment for you, but CEO Wang¡¯s schedule is tight for the next month. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to see you anytime soon. Please leave your contact information. I¡¯ll contact you again when CEO Wang is free to see you.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s secretary immediately widened her eyes. ¡°A month?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s face was very calm. ¡°Okay, thank you.¡±
After leaving her phone number, Gu Chu pulled the secretary away and left the building.
¡°Director Gu, if we go back now, wouldn¡¯t we have wasted our trip?¡± The secretary asked in annoyance.
¡°We¡¯re not leaving.¡± She took out her cell phone and showed it to the secretary. ¡°Here, August 19th, Qianke Hotel.¡±
¡°What¡¯s this?¡± The secretary asked curiously.
¡°Today is August 19th. It¡¯s his birthday. He¡¯ll be having dinner there.¡±
¡°I see.¡±
¡°Yes, let¡¯s go and meet him tonight.¡±
¡°But, why did you leave your number just now?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°Think about it. As soon as we reported our names, she immediately told us that CEO Wang was not free for a month. What does that mean?¡±
The secretary was a little confused. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°She just works the front desk. How would she know the boss¡¯ schedule? Since she said that, it means that CEO Wang had instructed her in advance. That¡¯s why she rejected us so tactfully.¡±
The secretary was stunned when she heard that. ¡°Is that so?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go. We still have a tough battle to fight tonight.¡±
On the way to the hotel, she kept getting Wechat messages. She picked her phone up and saw that they were all sent to her by Lin Yin.
¡°Damn.¡±
¡°Hahahahahaha.¡±
¡°I¡¯m dying ofughter.¡±
¡°I¡¯m dead.¡±
¡°...¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°Are you crazy?¡±
Lin Yin quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s very lively today. Everyone is talking about what happened between you and Feng Jiast night.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°They say that young people like you are so passionate. Once you meet, you¡¯re like a raging fire. You can¡¯t help but¡ exercise intensely.¡± Lin Yin even added a blush emoji.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± She thought there¡¯s more.
Lin Yin replied with aughing emoji. ¡°This is awesome. Those people who spread the rumors about your canceled engagement have now been pped in the face! They won¡¯t dare to spread rumors anymore!¡±
Gu Chu did not expect that.
Fine. Who asked them to make up stories about her? This should teach them a lesson!
*
The temperature in Yangcheng City was higher than that of Haicheng City. In the hot weather, Gu Chu wore a long dress with a revealing back with two thin straps. She wore a white jade pendant around her neck.
She gave her secretary the day off as she was suffering from menstrual cramps.
She was tall and slim, and looked exquisite. When she walked into the hotel, she attracted a lot of people¡¯s attention.
However, unlike everyone else, there was a man who got out of a Maybach. His eyes were indifferent and aloof, and he looked dignified and cool.
The secretary behind him looked at Gu Chu¡¯s back and said, ¡°CEO Feng, that seems to be Miss Gu.¡±
He didn¡¯t know that Gu Chu had alsoe to Yangcheng City, but on second thought, she probably came for the Yangchang project.
The secretary whispered, ¡°Should we go and say hello to her?¡±
Feng Jia nced at his watch. It was time for his appointment so he said, ¡°Go and see who she¡¯s going to see.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Feng Jia first went to the road opposite, to an unknown small shop.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t notice that he was here. She was focused on looking for CEO Wang.
She nced around and soon saw him in a private seat. There were seven or eight men and women around him. They were eating and drinking, looking very lively.
Gu Chu found a seat and sat down. The waiter walked over and handed the menu to her. ¡°Hello, miss. This is our menu.¡±
¡°Give me a bottle of wine,¡± She said.
Soon, the waiter brought a bottle over. She poured a ss and walked over to CEO Wang with it.
Those people were ttering him. ¡°CEO Wang, it¡¯s not fun to eat like this. Do you want a private room to y mahjong?¡±

Chapter 15: CEO Wang Left

When CEO Wang heard that, he was amused. ¡°Sure, but there are only three men here. Women like them don¡¯t know how to y.¡±
At this moment, Gu Chu happened to pass by and interjected, ¡°I do. If CEO Wang doesn¡¯t mind, let me make the number.¡±
Her words were like a hook that tickled people¡¯s hearts. CEO Wang raised his head to look at her.
He was stunned. His eyes were filled with amazement.
Gu Chu was already used to this kind of gaze. She smiled generously and then handed the wine ss forward. ¡°CEO Wang, how about a drink?¡±
¡°Of course!¡± CEO Wang immediately stood up and picked up the wine ss on the table. He downed it in one gulp. ¡°May I know how to address you, miss?¡±
¡°Gu Chu.¡±
CEO Wang felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it before. He looked at Gu Chu and said, ¡°Since Miss gu is willing to do us the honor, how can we not agree? How about this, if you win, it¡¯s on you. If you lose, it¡¯s on me.¡±
The other men immediately praised his generosity. They ttered him so much that he felt light as air.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°There are winners and losers. It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t afford to lose. CEO Wang, you¡¯re too polite.¡±
CEO Wang immediatelyplimented her, ¡°Miss Gu, you¡¯re cool!¡±
Just like that, they asked for a private room from the waiter.
Qianke Hotel had a restaurant decorated with the style of old Yangcheng City. There were mahjong tables in the private room. The women surrounded their men and looked at their cards.
CEO Wang dismissed the women beside him and asked enthusiastically, ¡°Miss Gu, do you know me?¡±
If she didn¡¯t know him, she wouldn¡¯t have called him CEO Wang right away.
Before Gu Chu could say anything, one of the three men said, ¡°CEO Wang, how could there be anyone in Yangcheng City who doesn¡¯t know you? Miss Gu must admire you, so she came over to greet you.¡±
The other two men also echoed, ¡°Yes, yes.¡±
Looking at their pretentious looks, Gu Chu knew that they must have something to ask of CEO Wang. That¡¯s why they were so subservient.
As expected, CEO Wang¡¯s face was glowing from thepliments.
Gu Chu said lightly, ¡°I dide to look for CEO Wang.¡±
¡°Then you¡¯re at the right ce. Don¡¯t think that CEO Wang is cold, but in private, he¡¯s very soft-hearted, especially towards beautiful women. Hurry up and toast him. No matter what you ask of him, he¡¯ll agree!¡± Someone urged.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t take it to heart, instead, she raised her wine ss and said to CEO Wang, ¡°I should toast you, but I don¡¯t dare to get you drunk. I came specially from Haicheng City to discuss a cooperation. If you¡¯re drunk, then we can¡¯t have the discussion anymore.¡±
CEO Wang was stunned.
Haicheng City. Surnamed Gu.
Could it be her?!
He immediately shivered. Suddenly, his face wasn¡¯t as warm as before. ¡°So it¡¯s the Gu Corporation. I drank a little too much today, so it didn¡¯t ur to me. But I remember that I¡¯ve already explicitly rejected it. Why did youe here?¡±
Gu Chu smiled and said, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re interested in cooperating with the Feng Corporation? If the Feng Corporation can do it, then the Gu Corporation can too. You should at leastpare and see which one is better, right? Or, would you look at our proposal first before making any decisions?¡±
CEO Wang chuckled. ¡°No need. I¡¯m not interested.¡±
Gu Chu wanted to say something, but CEO Wang suddenly pushed the mahjong table aside. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in ying anymore.¡±
The other men were stunned. ¡°CEO Wang, why are you suddenly not ying anymore?¡±
CEO Wang said, ¡°I have other things to do. You guys can continue.¡±
After saying that, he left. The men could not stop him.
All of a sudden, the three men saw that Gu Chu¡¯s expression did not look good. CEO Wang, whom they had beenplimenting the whole night, had actually been angered by her few words?
Someone scolded her, ¡°Do you know how to talk to others?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right! Just make him happy and then go to a hotel room. Wouldn¡¯t the deal be done then?¡±
Gu Chu looked up. ¡°Do you think that ying mahjong is not enough and that you want to take a few punches?¡±
She was born arrogant and proud, and she was unlike an ordinary woman.
One of them pped the table coldly. ¡°What did you say?¡±
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She picked up her bag and turned around to leave.
The person who pped the table widened his eyes and was so angry that his face turned red.
Just as he was about to chase after her, he was stopped by someone. He turned around. ¡°Why are you stopping me? That little girl is so arrogant. I¡¯m going to teach her a lesson!¡±

Chapter 16: Feng Jia, Save Me!
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu left Qianke Hotel and prepared to return to her hotel. As she walked, she thought that CEO Wang¡¯s attitude was a little strange. The Gu Corporation didn¡¯t have a bad name. Why would he leave without even listening?
A cool breeze blew. She had just drank some alcohol and felt a little ufortable in her stomach. She thought that she had to go to the hospital for a check up after returning to Haicheng City..
At this moment, her phone rang. She saw the caller ID. It was Feng Jia.
She had just picked up the call and was about to speak, but a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and covered her mouth tightly!
Gu Chu was caught off guard, and goosebumps appeared on her back. She wanted to struggle, but there was a huge difference in strength between men and women, so she was no match for him. Soon, she was dragged into an alley by the side.
¡°Beep, beep, beep¡¡±
Feng Jia stood at the entrance of the shop. When he heard the beeping sound of the call being hung up, he frowned.
Why did she hang up again? Is she still angry?
He dialed again, but this time, she didn¡¯t even pick up.
At this moment, the secretary walked over. ¡°CEO Feng, CEO Wang wants to meet you at the Qianke Hotel across the street.¡±
Gu Chu was also going to look for CEO Wang. Since he had already made an appointment with him, Gu Chu should have returned to the hotel, right?
When he arrived at the private room, CEO Wang personally weed him. ¡°Hello, CEO Feng.¡±
Feng Jia asked, ¡°CEO Wang, why are you asking me out for dinner at this time?¡±
CEO Wang smiled embarrassedly. ¡°Just now, someone from the Gu Corporation came to me to discuss the Yangchang project. I am worried that they will keep bothering me, so I thought that maybe we should just sign the contract?¡±
Feng Jia looked at him. ¡°What did she say to you?¡±
CEO Wang immediately replied, ¡°Nothing much. She just wanted me to look at the proposal.¡±
They sat down and Feng Jia said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s just a proposal. Why are you so nervous?¡±
CEO Wangughed dryly. ¡°I don¡¯t want trouble...¡±
On the other side, Gu Chu was in trouble!
She didn¡¯t think that she would be kidnapped in Yangcheng City!
At first, she struggled, but then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
The man carried Gu Chu into the trunk of the car. The trunk was not ventted at all, and the smell of gasoline entered her nostrils. In her daze, she felt very ufortable, but she could not open her eyes.
She had a strange dream.
In the dream, she heard a woman¡¯s gentle voice, ¡°Gu Chu, Gu Chu...¡±
Who was calling her?
¡°Chuchu, we named you ¡®Chuchu¡¯. Isn¡¯t it nice? Grow up quickly. We will always love you...¡±
The woman¡¯s voice was gentle, and she had long ck hair. It was very soft to the touch.
She wanted to grab it, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t. She could only watch as she got further and further away...
She stretched her hand. Bang! She touched something and was woken up by the pain.
She suddenly opened her eyes. It was dark all around her. Her head was very heavy, and her body was curled up, as if she was in a cramped space.
¡°We¡¯re almost at the hotel. Let¡¯s drive the car into the basement and find a suitcase to put her in. We don¡¯t want anyone to see us.¡±
¡°But we have to buy a suitcase first.¡±
¡°There¡¯s a supermarket ahead. You go and buy it. And you, go to the hotel and get a room first. Call us when you¡¯re done.¡±
She heard every word the person in the driver seat said. She widened her eyes in shock. It was actually the three men who were at Qianke hotel just now.
They were the ones who kidnapped her!
She quickly calmed down. She could not make any sound, or else they would realize that she was already awake!
Moreover, there were three of them, and she was just one woman. So, she couldn¡¯t use her strength, she had to use her wits!
She fumbled in her pocket and was lucky to find her phone.
When she struggled, she conveniently stuffed her phone into her pocket, and they were lucky not to search her body.
She didn¡¯t dare to make a phone call, so she could only text him.
She kept praying in her heart. Hurry up and reply, Feng Jia!
However, Feng Jia, who was talking business with CEO Wang, saw the phone screen light up and ignored it.
At this moment, the car stopped and two people walked out.
Soon, the car started again.
She sent another message to Lin Yin and her other friends. She didn¡¯t expect that there wasn¡¯t a single reply from the people who usually replied within seconds.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she panted heavily.
At this moment, the car stopped and she heard the sound of the door opening.
Her entire heart was about to jump out!
Fortunately, he didn¡¯t open the trunk directly. It seemed like he was just walking around the car and checking out the ce.
She thought, ¡°This is a good opportunity!¡±
She was about to call the police when Feng Jia¡¯s caller ID showed up!
Chapter 17 - Feng Jia is Here!
Chapter 17: Feng Jia is Here!
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
She was never that happy to see his name. She immediately picked up the call. The moment she spoke, she sounded like she was about to cry. She lowered her voice and said, ¡°Feng Jia! I¡¯ve been kidnapped!¡±
Feng Jia walked out of Qianke Hotel quickly with a cold expression. ¡°Send me your location. I¡¯ll find you.¡±
Gu Chu thought that he was still in Haicheng City, so what¡¯s the point of sending him her location? Moreover, the signal in the underground garage was poor. Sending a text message was very difficult.
¡°No, there¡¯s no signal!¡± Gu Chu was about to cry.
Feng Jia said in a low voice, ¡°Gu Chu, can you hear me?¡±
¡°Yes, can you hear me?¡± Gu Chu changed her position, ¡°I¡¯m in the trunk of a car. I just heard that one of them went to get a room and the other went to buy a suitcase. I don¡¯t know where they¡¯re taking me, but I can confirm that it should be an underground garage of a hotel.¡±
The signal was really bad, and Gu Chu wasn¡¯t sure if he could hear it.
Feng Jia replied to her while gesturing to her secretary, ¡°Gu Chu, listen to me. Some cars can be opened from the inside of the trunk. First, look for a glowing handle next to the car door? If there is, go ahead and pull it. If the car door is opened, immediately run out and call for help.¡±
When Gu Chu heard this, she immediately fumbled around, but she did not see any handle.
Feng Jia¡¯s calm voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°If there is no handle, look for a round concave device or a half-curved button. Do you see it?¡±
She touched it! She immediately pressed it!
A trace of surprise shed in her eyes, but the next second, a ck shadow appeared in front of her!
Without thinking, Gu Chu kicked him!
The man was hit and immediately covered his crotch, screaming in pain.
Meanwhile, Gu Chu quickly jumped out of the car and ran toward the exit!
However, that attack had almost used up all of her strength. Moreover, she had just woken up from being drugged, so she staggered and almost fell to the ground!
Fortunately, she was quick enough to support herself against the wall.
At this moment, the man had also recovered and reached out to pounce on her.
Gu Chu immediately cried out, ¡°Help! Help!¡±
However, there were only her cries echoing in the garage. There were no other sounds.
She was covered by the man¡¯s hand. She grabbed the man¡¯s hand and took a bite. The man let go of her hand in pain. Seeing the teeth marks in his hand, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and pped her in the face!
Then, he reached out and grabbed her neck tightly.
Gu Chu was caught off guard and was held tightly. Her brain was quickly deprived of oxygen and her vision became blurry.
She struggled desperately, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free. She felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe...
Just before she fainted, she heard a scream!
¡°Ah! ! ! !¡±
She felt her neck was released, and her legs went limp. She sat on the ground, clutching her neck and coughing.
She coughed so hard that tears were about toe out. Her vision gradually became clear, and she saw a familiar figure.
The man took off his suit, raised his fist, and punched hard on the man¡¯s face!
With every hit, the man screamed.
The man was none other than Feng Jia.
But why was he here?
It was as if he had fallen from the sky, and she couldn¡¯t believe it.
It was the first time she had seen Feng Jia like this. He was cold and emotionless, and the coldness between his brows was colder than a de!
She didn¡¯t know that he had such a wild side besides being in bed.
It was almost as if she didn¡¯t know him.
However, she quickly realized that the man had aplices.
She leaned against the wall and stood up shakily. She called out to him weakly, ¡°Feng... Feng Jia.¡±
Feng Jia turned around. Just then, the person who had gone to buy the suitcase came back. Seeing this scene, he threw the suitcase directly at Feng Jia!
Gu Chu¡¯s pupils dted. Fortunately, it didn¡¯t hit him!
Feng Jia pulled her behind him, twisted his wrist, and punched the person!
Feng Jia said while hitting the person, ¡°Find a ce to hide!¡±
¡°They have another aplice!¡± Gu Chu hurriedly found a ce to hide and shouted at Feng Jia while hiding.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were bloodshot from the rampage. He grabbed the man¡¯s arm and fiercely bent it backward.
¡°Ah!¡± He shrieked.
Feng Jia picked up the man¡¯s body and heavily threw him against the wall!
With a bang, the man hit the wall and fell to the ground. He rolled a few times before he came to a stop.

Chapter 18: She Felt so Wronged
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Feng Jia stepped forward and grabbed the man¡¯s head, throwing it to the ground like a rubber ball!
The man screamed again.
Feng Jia¡¯s voice was very low and deep. ¡°Why did you take her?¡±
The man answered with a trembling voice, ¡°Because she destroyed our business opportunity, so¡ so we are taking her to CEO Wang. This way, there¡¯s still hope...¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s secretary appeared with the police. He left the men behind and walked to Gu Chu. ¡°Can you walk?¡±
Gu Chu nodded weakly, but Feng Jia still went forward and picked her up.
Gu Chu could barely walk. She was light-headed and could not walk more than a few steps. After being picked up, her head was dizzy. She thought of something, she whispered into Feng Jia¡¯s ear, ¡°There¡¯s still one of their aplices who hasn¡¯t appeared.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were dark and unclear. He replied with an ¡°Hmm¡±.
Only then did Gu Chu pass out with relief.
The secretary came to Feng Jia¡¯s side. ¡°CEO Feng, we¡¯ve caught all of them.¡±
Feng Jia said coldly, ¡°Follow them to the police station and take good care of them.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu slept rather soundly and didn¡¯t have any strange dreams.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself on the bed in the hotel.
She turned her head and saw Feng Jia sitting on the sofa at the side with a tablet in his hand. He was probably sending work emails.
He frowned slightly and turned his head to ask immediately ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±
Gu Chu supported herself up and asked, ¡°Have you caught all three of them? How are they now?¡±
He answered, ¡°They were all taken away by the police. There are surveince cameras in the garage, so you don¡¯t have to worry. They will rot in prison.¡±
Gu Chu knocked her head and said angrily, ¡°Are they bandits? There are gains and losses when ites to business, they aremitting a crime just for a business opportunity. What¡¯s wrong with them?¡±
Gu Chu asked again, ¡°What¡¯s their background?¡±
¡°No background.¡± Feng Jia¡¯s tone was very indifferent, ¡°They are from the same development team. They also have their eyes on Yangchang project and want to get a share of it, but CEO Wang did not agree. So, they came up with this stupid idea. They also said that they would take a photo of you so that you wouldn¡¯t dare to call the police.¡±
So that was the case. No wonder they were so bold. If an ordinary woman had a photo taken, she would definitely give in.
However, was she an ordinary woman? She gritted her teeth. ¡°They¡¯re dreaming! I¡¯ll definitely fight to the death!¡±
She, Gu Chu, would take anything, but she would not suffer any losses!
She would not ept this grievance no matter what!
Feng Jia snorted coldly. ¡°I won¡¯t let them off.¡±
His eyes were like ice that was emitting a chilling light.
He looked up at Gu Chu and asked again, ¡°Are you still dizzy? Do you want me to call ad?¡±
¡°No, not necessary for now.¡± Gu Chu gritted her teeth. ¡°I¡¯m here for the Yangchang project. I encountered this incident before I even finished the deal. Wang Tai Group would be embarrassed not to cooperate with me, right?¡±
Feng Jia did not reply.
Gu Chu asked him again, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Then, she thought of something and asked in surprise, ¡°You¡¯re not here for the Yangchang Project, are you?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Then have you signed the contract?¡±
¡°Not yet,¡± Feng Jia said, ¡°But, I will.¡±
What did he mean by he will? There was no definitive conclusion yet. What right did he have to be so certain?
Wait a minute, she suddenly felt blessed. Could it be?
She said, ¡°When I saw CEO Wang yesterday, I felt that his attitude was a little strange. Gu Corporation is not some ferocious beast, so why would he avoid us? Does he have other matters to attend to?¡±
Seeing that her mind was spinning so quickly, Feng Jia¡¯s heart stirred slightly, and he listened quietly.
Gu Chu continued, ¡°They initially were firm about the fact that they would not cooperate with third parties and that they had the ability toplete the entire project. But now, they want to cooperate with you. Could it be that they have no money?¡±
When Feng Jia heard this, his lips curved slightly.
She had guessed it right! This was how things were!
Wang Tai Group had no money, but they did not dare to say anything. That was why they were quietly looking at Feng Corporation.
Feng Jia wanted the project, and Wang Tai Group wanted money. In the end, it was mutually beneficial and everyone was happy. However, in the end, she, Gu Chu, was kidnapped, and pped for no reason.
In the end, she got nothing.
Who could she talk to about this grievance? !
Feng Jia picked up the ice pack on the bedside table and pressed it against her cheek. Gu Chu immediately hissed in pain.
The p from that person had yet to fade.
Chapter 19 - Conversation with Feng Jia
Chapter 19: Conversation with Feng Jia
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Feng Jia added, ¡°CEO Wang said that he didn¡¯t know about this.¡±
She thought that was believable. At first, he was interested in her, but what happenedter was entirely on the three of them.
Feng Jia helped her apply some ice on her face before taking out a tissue to wipe her hands. ¡°I¡¯ve asked the hotel to send the food up. Get out of bed and eat.¡±
Gu Chu nodded dispiritedly and got out of bed.
She had suffered so much. What was the reason? !
The soup dumplings that she loved were sent over. The two of them did not speak until Gu Chu finished eating. Then, she asked, ¡°What agreement did you and CEO Wange up with?¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows. ¡°You want to pry into the information and then intercept it?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just asking. You don¡¯t have to be so guarded against me.¡± Gu Chu looked at him. ¡°Besides, I¡¯ve suffered so much. It¡¯s not too much for you to tell me this, right?¡±
Feng Jia chuckled.
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯ve wronged me in too many ways?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes suddenly became serious. ¡°Have I?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the old ones, but just the recent ones. What did you and Gu Wan talk about that night? You just walked out of my room and hooked up with my sister. You even made her cry. Tell me, what do you want to do?¡±
Feng Jia replied calmly, ¡°Nothing.¡±
Gu Chu chuckled. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a three-year-old child?¡±
Feng Jia drank a mouthful of water and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I can¡¯t make up a lie to deceive you, right?¡±
Hearing that, Gu Chu¡¯s chest kept heaving up and down. She had to stay calm!
However, she couldn¡¯t stay calm at all. She stepped forward and grabbed his cor, yelling, ¡°It¡¯s been so many years and I tolerated your temperament. You should thank me, the beautiful goddess, foring to the mortal world to save all living things!¡±
No matter how righteous this person was, he did know how to coax his girlfriend!
Well, did he not know how to be in love? She had never heard of him having any girlfriend before her.
However, they had been dating for two or three years, yet he still could not change his temperament!
She was really angered to death!
Feng Jia was grabbed by the cor but his expression was m, and there was a faint sense of authority between his brows, suppressing her. After all, there were not many people in this world who could grab his cor.
He looked at her lightly. Even though he was not angry, he was like a tiger about to show its might.
Although Gu Chu was not afraid of him, she was a little scared by his stare. However, if she let go, she would lose face again.
He suddenly moved his finger, and she let go.
However, halfway through, he grabbed her. ¡°You¡¯re such a troublemaker. It seems that what happenedst night did not scare you.¡±
Gu Chu straightened her neck. ¡°I¡¯m not that timid.¡±
¡°You¡¯re brave and petty,¡± Feng Jia said as he tightened his fingers. ¡°I told you that grandfather chose you as his granddaughter-inw.¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°That¡¯s true. But it doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯re not trying to flirt with my sister while being with me.¡±
Feng Jia pinched her fingers and said snappily, ¡°If I want to have an affair, I wouldn¡¯t have waited until now.¡±
¡°That means you thought about it.¡± Gu Chu refused to let it go.
¡°No.¡±
¡°...¡±
At this moment, his phone on the table rang. He let go of her hand and picked up the phone to go to the balcony to answer it.
The conversation ended just like that.
Gu Chu picked up thest Xiaolongbao and was about to put it in her mouth when her stomach suddenly churned. She covered her mouth and wanted to throw up.
She quickly picked up Feng Jia¡¯s ss and drank a mouthful of water to suppress the nausea in her stomach.
Yesterday, her stomach hurt, and now she wanted to throw up. Could there be something wrong with her stomach?
She was a little annoyed. She felt that things had not been going well recently, and the swelling on her face had not subsided.
She picked up the phone and asked the waiter to take away the cutlery and bring two eggs.
The front desk was serious about service in the presidential suite. In less than five minutes, they had delivered them.
Gu Chu rubbed her face with the hot eggs. She thought to herself that she had never been pped by anyone in her entire life.
Now, she was actually pped by an unknown person!
Thinking of this, she felt even more stifled. She couldn¡¯t let this go. She picked up her phone, and sent a text message.
¡°Lin Yu, you¡¯ve developed in Yangcheng City before. Do you know anywyers here?¡±
She would never let those three go!
Chapter 20 - You’re a Good Person!

Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Lin Yu quickly replied, ¡°What happened to you?¡±
¡°I have a few people I want to teach a lesson to,¡± Gu Chu replied.
Very quickly, Lin Yu gave her awyer¡¯s phone number.
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curved up. ¡°Thank you.¡±
After she finished talking to Lin Yu, she called thewyer. She did not have any other requests, only one. ¡°I¡¯m not asking for life in prison, but I don¡¯t want them regaining their freedom in three to five years.¡±
The person that Lin Yu had introduced to her was not an ordinary person. Therefore, this small request was not a problem.
After she had vented her anger, Gu Chu was beaming with joy. She looked very happy.
Feng Jia saw her like this when he returned. He asked, ¡°Why are you so happy?¡±
¡°I¡¯m returning to Haicheng City in the afternoon. What about you?¡± Gu Chu asked.
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows. ¡°I thought you would mind losing the business cooperation.¡±
Gu Chu, on the other hand, did not seem to mind. ¡°Victory and defeat aremon urrences in war. Besides, you, CEO Feng, havee to Yangcheng personally. I¡¯ve lost to you fair and square.¡±
Feng Jia asked again, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that your father will say something when you go back?¡±
Gu Chu stood up and looked up at him. ¡°If you feel sorry for me, then give me the project.¡±
Feng Jia smiled and shook her head. ¡°No.¡±
Gu Chu immediately rolled her eyes.
Feng Jia took a step closer to her and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to Paris Fashion Week?¡±
Gu Chu repliedzily, ¡°I¡¯m busy.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already ordered the new Gi ording to your size. It will be sent to your apartment very soon.¡±
Ah? Gu Chu looked up. ¡°Are you trying topensate me?¡±
¡°What do you think?¡±
¡°Ha,¡± Gu Chu snorted coldly. ¡°Do Ick money for those clothes?¡±
Feng Jia said unhurriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly what you like, so I¡¯ve ordered some Louis Vuitton as well. You can take a look at them when the timees.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Some? This quantifier exuded a sense of wealth and abundance.
Her eyshes fluttered. ¡°I have the money for those too.¡±
¡°I have also picked out a few Hermes bags. You can look at them too,¡± He replied calmly.
Gu Chu took a deep breath. Although she did notck money to buy bags, money was not wasted like this! This move of his was really hitting her weakest spot!
Feng Jia saw her eyes light up and continued, ¡°Do you like diamonds?¡±
Gu Chu immediately held his hand and said sincerely, ¡°You¡¯re really a good person!¡±
Feng Jia smiled in satisfaction.
Although they were on the same flight back to Haicheng City, they did not sit together. She and her secretary dragged their luggage and walked to the exit together, discussing where to go for dinner.
Feng Jia and his secretary just happened to walk out at this time. ¡°Gu Chu.¡±
Her secretary had always been afraid of meeting a big shot like him, so she quickly said, ¡°Director Gu, you go ahead. I¡¯ll see you at the office tomorrow!¡±
Then, she ran away.
Gu Chu looked at him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
¡°Did you find awyer?¡± He asked.
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°How do you know Yangcheng City¡¯swyer?¡±
Gu Chu said casually, ¡°There are so manywyers in Yangcheng City. It¡¯s easy for me to find one.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were deep. ¡°Thatwyer is famous in Yangcheng City¡¯s legal industry. He¡¯s not someone whom ordinary people could hire.¡±
She was unfamiliar with Yangcheng City. How did she know him?
¡°Brother!¡±
Suddenly, a shout came from afar and interrupted his questioning.
They subconsciously turned their heads and saw a teenage girl running over. She recognized her at a nce. She was none other than Feng Jia¡¯s youngest sister, Feng Pei.
It was someone who was extremely unfriendly to her.
Feng Pei looked at Feng Jia happily. ¡°Grandfather asked you to go back to the old mansion for dinner tonight, so I came to the airport to pick you up.¡±
She pretended not to see Gu Chu, and Gu Chu was toozy to greet her. After saying ¡°I¡¯m leaving,¡± She left.
Feng Pei made a face at her back.
Feng Jia thought that his grandfather probably didn¡¯t know that Gu Chu was actually with him, or else he would have called her, so he took a few steps forward, wanting to bring her with him to have dinner.
However, when they walked out of the airport, they saw Gu Chu talking to a man.
The sky was burning red, and the night breeze was gentle. It gently brushed past their faces, and the two of them smiled.
Gu Chu said something to the man, and the two of themughed. The manughed and flicked her forehead. Then, he opened the door of the passenger seat and let her in.
Gu Chu got in the car, and the man closed the door for her. Then, he walked from the front of the car to the driver¡¯s seat. As if he had sensed something, he met Feng Jia¡¯s eyes.

Lin Yu stopped in his tracks and nodded at Feng Jia as a greeting.
Feng Pei said, ¡°He¡¯s Lin Yu, right?¡±
Feng Jia walked to his car. ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°They¡¯re really close. With that nce just now, those who don¡¯t know would think that Lin Yu is Gu Chu¡¯s fianc¨¦.¡± Feng Pei curled her lips in disdain and continued to babble non-stop.
¡°They are childhood sweethearts. They are close to begin with, but since they are so close, why doesn¡¯t Gu Chu marry him?¡±
Feng Jia heard this and looked at her expressionlessly.
Only then did Feng Pei shut her mouth.
Lin Yu hade to pick up Gu Chu on his way to the airport to do some business. As she scrolled through Weibo, she said, ¡°Lin Yu, I haven¡¯t thanked you for helping me find awyer.¡±
Lin Yuughed. ¡°It¡¯s a small matter. However, he said that there was already someone who requested him to deal with the same matter.¡±
Gu Chuyi¡¯s expression froze.
She had not even told her secretary about what had happened to her, so there was only one person who did this.
Lin Yu saw her expression and guessed. ¡°Feng Jia?¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
If it was really him, he probably cared about her, right?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, sheughed to herself. She still couldn¡¯t change her self-indulgent behavior.
If he really cared about her, he wouldn¡¯t be so confused about Gu Wan, because he also knew that she would be angry if she saw them together.
Lin Yu sent her all the way to her apartment. As soon as Gu Chu got out of the car, she said to him, ¡°I¡¯ll transfer thewyer fees to you.¡±
She had to give it to him even though he didn¡¯t need the money.
She added, ¡°I still have to unpack so I won¡¯t invite you in. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal another day.¡±
Lin Yu nodded and took out a document and handed it to her. ¡°Here.¡±
Gu Huan took it in surprise. When she saw the words, her eyes widened. ¡°This is?¡±
Lin Yu smiled. ¡°Didn¡¯t you lose a business? I gave you another one.¡±
Gu Chu was touched when she heard that. She said tearfully, ¡°Oh my God, you¡¯re my brother!¡±
Lin Yu waved his hand. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Go back and rest.¡±
¡°Be careful on the road then.¡±
Gu Chu happily closed the car door, dragged her suitcase, and returned to the apartment.
Lin Yu didn¡¯t start the car until the lights were on at her house.
The apartment she lived in was given to her by her parents on her 18th birthday. Although it wasn¡¯t as expensive as the one Feng Jia lived in Jinyuan, it was still one of the most upscale residential areas in Haicheng City.
Gu Chu was really tired. When she got home, she didn¡¯t even pack her suitcase andy on the sofa.
She ordered a takeout. She fell asleep but was woken up by a call from the receptionist of the building.
She hummed twice. ¡°I ordered takeout. Tell him toe over.¡±
¡°Okay, Miss Gu.¡± The receptionist hung up and told the takeout guy to go upstairs.
She didn¡¯t know why, but she wanted to eat something sour, so she ordered a serving of hot and sour noodles.
However, she didn¡¯t even take two bites before she started to feel nauseous.
She immediately stopped eating and took out her phone to set an appointment. She nned to go to the hospital to see the gastroenterologist the next afternoon.
Right after the appointment was made, Lin Yin video-called her. As soon as she picked up, she saw her naked body.
She immediately took a screenshot and threatened in a sinister manner, ¡°I took a screenshot. If I don¡¯t have money in the future, I¡¯ll use this to threaten you. If you don¡¯t send money, I¡¯ll send this photo to your family and friends!¡±
¡°Aiya, you¡¯re so annoying!¡± Lin Yin quickly put on a t-shirt and said shyly, ¡°You usually don¡¯t pick up so quickly.¡±
Gu Chu snorted.
Lin Yin asked her while applying body lotion on her body, ¡°By the way, I heard from my brother that you just came back from Yangcheng City, and you came back with Feng Jia. How is it? Have the two of you improved your rtionship in the past few days?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°No.¡±
They hadn¡¯t even slept together. How could they get closer?
¡°Then you¡¯d better hurry up!¡± Lin Yin said anxiously. ¡°I¡¯ve been thinking about Gu Wan these past few days. I suddenly feel that she¡¯s such a scary woman. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll be at a disadvantage.¡±
She added, ¡°Think about it. If you break off the engagement with Feng Jia, what will happen to you?¡±
¡°I will be theughingstock of Yangcheng City,¡± Gu Chu replied.
Chapter 22 - Marry My Brother
Chapter 22: Marry My Brother
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re hated by many. When your sister and Feng Jia were rumored to be having an affair, so many peopleughed at you. If you were really dumped, everyone would say that your status in the Gu family is inferior to your sister¡¯s. Your parents don¡¯t care about you at all. You¡¯ve already be the abandoned child of the Gu family! Moreover, no matter who marries you in the future, everyone will say that they picked up Feng Jia¡¯s secondhand. How embarrassing would that be for you!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She was right.
¡°I know that your parents have eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. They must also understand this principle. In the past, they pampered you so much, but now they are abusing you like this. This proves that Gu Wan is too scary. She has already bewitched your parents!¡±
Gu Chu pinched the space between her brows. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. Although my mother has the intention, she hasn¡¯t really changed the engagement until now. Maybe she was angry that day.¡±
¡°Not necessarily. I think that no matter how much your parents change, they won¡¯t change so quickly. They doted on you so much before. So, let¡¯s observe the situation first,¡± Lin Yin sighed, ¡°By the way, how is Gu Wan?¡±
Although Gu Chu hadn¡¯t been in Haicheng for the past two days, it didn¡¯t mean that she knew nothing about thepany.
On the second day of her business trip, her father arranged for Gu Wan to work in thepany as the Vice Director of the Department of Operations.
She didn¡¯t feel anything when she found out about it, but when she told Lin Yin about it, Lin Yin was on guard. ¡°Your father raised you as his future sessor. When you first joined thepany, you were only a Vice Director. She just came back, and he gave her such a high position. Does she know business?¡±
¡°She graduated from Haicheng University of Finance and Economics. She really did learn this as an undergraduate.¡± Gu Chu pinched the space between her eyebrows again.
Lin Yin squeezed some lotion and began to rub it on her legs. She said thoughtfully, ¡°Is she that good? It seems that her adoptive parents treat her well. By the way, have you met her adoptive parents?¡±
¡°My parents may have met them.¡± In fact, she did not know about Gu Wan¡¯s past life, and her parents had never told her about it.
Lin Yin suddenly said, ¡°You must hold on to Feng Jia, because I can smell that you¡¯re about to fall out of favor!¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips and hung up.
How could she fall out of favor?
Everyone in Haicheng City knew that her parents doted on her. The Gu family would always be her safety.
Gu Wan had been missing for more than twenty years before she was found. Her parents would definitely dote on her more for the time being. After some time, they would get used to it and treat the two of them equally.
At this moment, Lin Yin called again.
She picked up.
¡°I¡¯ve thought about it. If you can¡¯t marry Feng Jia in the end, then marry my brother. Look how much my family likes you. In the future, there won¡¯t be any conflicts between mother-inw and daughter-inw, and there won¡¯t be any conflicts between sisters-inw. How good would that be?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She hung up the phone again.
After hanging up, she sent a message to Lin Yu. ¡°Your sister wants me to marry you.¡±
Ten minutester, Lin Yu replied, ¡°I¡¯ve already told her off.¡±
The airport was quite far from the Feng family¡¯s old mansion and Feng Jia had just arrived.
Feng Jia walked along the cobblestone path into the main house. When Old Master Feng saw him, he immediately said, ¡°Feng Jia is back.¡±
At the same time, another woman sitting on the sofa stood up. She said with a gentle expression, ¡°Hello, Mr. Feng.¡±
The next day, Gu Chu went to thepany.
As soon as she entered the office, the secretary walked over with tears in her eyes. ¡°Director Gu...¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who bullied you?¡± Gu Chu asked.
¡°We didn¡¯t get the project. What should we do? Will we be punished by the chairman?¡± The secretary said with a bitter face.
Gu Chu said unhappily, ¡°If someone were to be punished, it would be me. What are you afraid of?¡±
The secretary pouted. ¡°I feel sorry for you. By the way, isn¡¯t CEO Feng your fianc¨¦? Can you use the back door?¡±
Feng Jia had won the project. With their rtionship, working with the Feng Corporation was easier than working with the Wang Tai Corporation, right?
¡°What are you daydreaming about?¡± Gu Chu sneered. ¡°CEO Feng is so cold and professional.¡±
The man was always very rational other than when he was in bed. Don¡¯t expect him to help you through the back door.
Gu Chu picked up the thermos cup and went to get water from the pantry.
Unfortunately, she met Gu Wan.
Gu Wan was standing at the door of the pantry, unwilling to go in.
What happened? Gu Chu walked over and looked inside as well.
Chapter 23 - Gu Wan Signed the Contract
Chapter 23: Gu Wan Signed the Contract
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Oh, so it was two colleagues gossiping in secret.
It was said that the pantry was the best ce for gossip besides the bathroom, and it was true.
¡°Hey, have you heard? The new Vice Director is also the daughter of the chairman.¡±
¡°But isn¡¯t the director an only child? Why is there another daughter?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure. She looks a few years older than Director Gu. Do you think she¡¯s an adopted daughter or an illegitimate daughter?¡±
Gu Chu nced at Gu Wan. Seeing her dazed expression, she stood at the door, somewhat at a loss.
¡°It can¡¯t be an adopted daughter, right? She was the Vice Director the moment she came in. Her status is almost on par with Director Gu. She should be an illegitimate daughter, right?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, she should be an illegitimate daughter!¡±
Gu Chu chuckled and walked in. ¡°Gu Wan is my biological sister.¡±
The two female colleagues were startled. When they turned around, they saw the person they were discussing just now, and they were both shocked.
Gu Chu nonchntly took the water and said, ¡°We lost her when we were young, and we only found her recently. Do you guys have so much free time? Why analyze these things that have nothing to do with your job?¡±
¡°No, no.¡± The two of them immediately shook their heads and walked out of the pantry.
When Gu Chu walked out, he nced at Gu Wan. ¡°The next time you hear these words, you can exin yourself. It¡¯s not true. Do you have to stand outside and suffer?¡±
Gu Wan pursed her lips. ¡°Thank you, Chuchu.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not helping you. I just don¡¯t want to see them make up a story about mom and dad.¡±
¡°Yeah, I know. You¡¯re the kind of person who talks tough but has a soft heart. We¡¯re biological sisters.¡± Then, she added, ¡°Chuchu, don¡¯t be sad that you didn¡¯t get the project. Dad won¡¯t be angry with you. Besides, I¡¯ll protect you.¡±
Gu Chu felt a bit bitter when she heard this. She really didn¡¯t want her protection.
She was toozy to say anything else and walked out.
Just as she returned to her office, the secretary looked at her sympathetically. ¡°The chairman is looking for you.¡±
Is that necessary?
Mr. Gu was the chairman of the Gu Corporation. His office was on the top floor of the building.
Gu Chu knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Dad.¡±
Mr. Gu looked up at her. It wasn¡¯t a dark expression, but a smile.
¡°Chuchu, I¡¯ve seen the document you sent me this morning. I¡¯ve thought about the Sky Garden project before, but the Lin Corporation wants 70%. I didn¡¯t think it was worth it so I didn¡¯t cooperate. I didn¡¯t expect you to be able to convince them to do 40-60% .¡±
The project that Lin Yu gave her yesterday was the Sky Garden project.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°I¡¯m making up for failing to take down Yangchang project. Are you not punishing me?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t punish you. Besides, this project has been returned to our hands,¡± Mr. Gu said with a smile.
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Chu was shocked.
At this moment, Mr Gu¡¯s secretary called from the inner line. ¡°Chairman, CEO Feng is here.¡±
Gu Chu frowned. What was Feng Jia doing here?
Mr. Gu looked very happy. He patted her shoulder and said, ¡°Come, let¡¯s go to the meeting room. I asked him toe.¡±
Gu Chu followed him to the meeting room, not knowing what was going on. Sure enough, she saw Feng Jia sitting on the chair. Mr. Gu called out, ¡°Feng Jia.¡±
Feng Jia stood up and called out politely, ¡°Uncle Gu.¡±
Father Gu patted his shoulder and said, ¡°I wanted to send someone to your ce to sign the contract, but the more I thought about it, the happier I became. So, I called you over to have a meal. I¡¯m not disturbing you, right?¡±
¡°Not at all, but it should be my treat instead,¡± Feng Jia said with a smile.
Mr. Gu¡¯s eyes were full of admiration. ¡°Our two families are inws, so we have to work together more in the future. You¡¯re handling things more and more steadily now. It¡¯s good that you invested in Wang Tai Group and protect the rights of the three families.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t quite understand what they meant. What did they mean by protecting the three families? She couldn¡¯t help but interject, ¡°Invest in the Wang Tai Group?¡±
Mr. Gu smiled and said, ¡°Chuchu doesn¡¯t know yet, right? The Feng family invested in the Wang Tai Group, and now it¡¯s the majority shareholder of the. Feng Jia is in charge, so he wants us to join the Yangchang project as well.¡±
Gu Chu had just sorted it out when another person walked into the office. It was Gu Wan. She held a document in her hand and said, ¡°Dad, CEO Feng, the contract has been drafted. Take a look.¡±
Gu Chu took the contract first. After skimming through the terms and conditions, she finally saw the signature at the bottom. She looked up and asked, ¡°This project was negotiated by Gu Wan?¡±
Gu Wan nodded. ¡°Yes,st night.¡±
Didn¡¯t Feng Jia have dinner at the Feng family¡¯s old mansionst night? Why did he see Gu Wan? Gu Chu nced at Feng Jia and put down the contract expressionlessly.
Feng Jia had already seen the electronic version of the contract, so he signed it directly.
Mr. Gu said with great satisfaction, ¡°Together with the Sky Garden Project, today is a double celebration. Let¡¯s have lunch together as a family to celebrate.¡±

Chapter 24: Gu Chu was Angry
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Feng Jia looked up. ¡°Sky Garden project? The one from the Lin Corporation?¡±
Mr. Gu said, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
Feng Jia looked at Gu Chu with an inexplicable expression.
Gu Chu ignored him.
After signing the contract, Mr. Gu and Feng Jia chatted for a while before walking out of the meeting room.
Gu Chu waited outside and kicked the corner of the wall with the tip of her shoe. When she saw theming out, she retracted her foot.
Mr. Gu said, ¡°Chu Chu, take Feng Jia to the restaurant first. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
Gu Chu expressionlessly gestured for him toe over.
She took two quick steps and pressed the elevator button. She said coldly, ¡°CEO Feng, you refused to give the project to me. Instead, you gave it to my sister to pave the way for her. You¡¯ve really put in a lot of effort.¡±
Feng Jia looked straight ahead. ¡°The Sky Garden project is the most important project for the Lin Corporation in the first quarter of next year. He¡¯s actually willing to give you half of it?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°CEO Feng, you really have deep feelings for my sister.¡±
Feng Jia sneered. ¡°The Gu and the Lin family really have a good rtionship.¡±
At this moment, the elevator arrived. With a ding, the two faces that were unhappy with each other were reflected in the elevator.
In the elevator, no one looked at each other. The narrow space was filled with a dull feeling.
After exiting the elevator, Gu Chu did not wait for him. She walked in front of him in a hurry.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got!
Gu Wan had the position of vice director the moment she entered. Her identity made people specte. If she did not have any outstanding results, her subordinates would definitely not be convinced by her. They would think that she had entered through the back door.
But now, Feng Jia handed the project to her! Now, who would not be convinced?!
Wasn¡¯t he f * cking helping Gu Wan?!
F * cking man! Instead of helping his fianc¨¦e, he actually helped his fianc¨¦e¡¯s sister!
What the F * ck was he thinking?!
It was lunchtime. This area was a business center, and several corporate buildings were there. All the employees came out to eat, and the road was filled with people all of a sudden.
Gu Chu walked in front angrily, and Feng Jia shouted from behind her, ¡°You¡¯re walking so fast in high heels? Did you forget that you sprained your anklest time?¡±
She stopped in her tracks.
At this moment, Gu Wan caught up with her. ¡°CEO Feng, Chuchu, why are you walking so fast? I almost couldn¡¯t keep up.¡±
Gu Chu did not respond.
Gu Wan looked around and pointed in the opposite direction. ¡°Isn¡¯t dad talking about that restaurant?¡±
Gu Chu said directly, ¡°You guys go and eat. I...¡±
Before he could finish, Feng Jia interrupted her. ¡°Lead the way.¡±
Gu Wan¡± ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu turned around and wanted to leave, but Feng Jia grabbed her wrist and forcefully dragged her over.
Did he really want her to have this meal?
Gu Chu struggled for a while but did not manage to break free. However, she did not want Gu Wan tough at her, so she reluctantly followed her.
The restaurant was near thepany. It was a high-ss restaurant.
Mr Gu¡¯s secretary had already reserved a table. The manager of the restaurant was waiting at the door, personally leading the way for them.
Before entering the private room, Feng Jia suddenly received a call, so Gu Chu and Gu Wan went in first.
The manager handed the menu to Gu Wan, who took it and ced it in front of Gu Chu. ¡°Chuchu, you can order. When dades, we can ask them to serve the dishes.¡±
Gu Chu sat down and said nonchntly, ¡°You¡¯re so outstanding. Ordering a dish is a piece of cake, so go ahead and order.¡±
Gu Wan retracted her hand and pursed her lips. ¡°Chuchu, do you mind that I signed the project? Actually, I can exin.¡±
Hehe, who was she pretending to be?
Gu Chu was really annoyed by her behavior. She said directly, ¡°Of course not. It doesn¡¯t matter who signs it.¡±
After that, she put on a fake professional smile.
After that, she said, ¡°What did you want to talk to him about on the night of mom¡¯s birthday party?¡±
A trace of panic shed across Gu Wan¡¯s face. ¡°No, nothing.¡±
Gu Chu put on a fake smile. ¡°Is that so? I heard from Feng Jia that you were the one who looked for him. We came over before we could say anything. That¡¯s why I wanted to ask you. What did you want to talk to him about?¡±
Gu Wan was stunned. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°I just wanted to ask him something.¡±
It was really her who took the initiative to look for Feng Jia.
She wondered why Feng Jia was so energetic. He had just slept with her and then went to look for Gu Wan?
She said, ¡°You should ask me instead of him. What do you want to know?¡±
Gu Wan was not that stupid. She immediately understood that she was trying to trick her. She smiled calmly. ¡°CEO Feng knows what I want to ask. You should ask him instead of me.¡±
Chapter 25 - Feng Jia was very Shrewd
Chapter 25: Feng Jia was very Shrewd

Gu Wan was even ying the ¡°this is our secret¡± game in front of her.
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes and was about to say something when Feng Jia came back from the phone call.
Mr. Gu also came in. He asked, ¡°Chuchu, have you ordered?¡±
Gu Wan answered, ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you.¡±
Mr. Gu nodded and looked at Feng Jia. ¡°The braised pork with preserved vegetables is good. Do you want to try it?¡±
Feng Jia replied warmly, ¡°Sure.¡±
Mr. Gu ordered the dishes while chatting with Feng Jia. Mr. Gu was also a very talkative person. He could chat about anything. Feng Jia would asionally reply to him, so it was not awkward.
Gu Chu was not interested in what they were saying. She lowered her head and swiped her phone. No one knew what she was looking at.
She suddenly remembered what he had just said about spraining her ankle.
That happenedst autumn.
Feng Jia and his friends had invested in a resort vi. On the opening day, they went there to check it out.
The vi was close to the mountains. The scenery was excellent. It was a good ce to hike and get some fresh air.
At that time, they were in high spirits. They had nned to watch the sunrise together the next day. That was why they had gotten up at three or four in the morning. However, they did not expect the mountain to be so high. They had walked for almost two hours and still had not arrived.
Gu Chu was about to give up, but when she looked up, she saw a ray of golden light rising from the horizon.
It could not be described with simple words. Without seeing it with one¡¯s own eyes, it¡¯s hard to imagine. Therefore, she wanted to hold on to the ray of light and ran up with all her might.
On the hillside, there were weeds growing everywhere. She was not paying attention, so she stepped on it and missed. Just like that, she sprained her foot.
When they went down the mountain, Feng Jia carried her on his back.
Gu Chu still remembered the warm wind that day. The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and dripped onto his face. Even the air was filled with the scent of fresh herbs. She leaned on his shoulder, seeing a small mole behind his ear and fell asleep.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, he found that she had fallen asleep. He carried her on his back all the way to her room.
When she woke up, she smiled at Feng Jia. ¡°So you are quite lovable when you¡¯re affectionate.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s chest felt a little stuffy when she thought of this. She realized that she was not only lustful towards him, she had unknowingly fallen in love.
But what about Feng Jia?
It seemed to be just lust.
He was never moved.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t like to be so fragile. The more she thought about it, the colder the expression on her face became.
At this moment, Mr. Gu noticed that she hadn¡¯t opened her mouth, so he said, ¡°Chuchu, why aren¡¯t you talking to Feng Jia? Did you have a fight?¡±
Gu Chu saidzily, ¡°I saw that you guys were having a good chat, so I didn¡¯t want to disturb you.¡±
Mr. Gu looked at her with some displeasedly. The Feng Corporation just got a share of the project this time, so why are you still quarreling with him?
Gu Chu said helplessly, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll talk to him.¡±
Although she said that, she thought in her heart, ¡°What is there to talk about between us? Besides, didn¡¯t he have something to talk to Gu Wan in private? Why didn¡¯t he talk to her?¡±
She looked up at Feng Jia and asked directly, ¡°Why did the Feng Corporation invest in Wang Tai Group?¡±
Then, she added, ¡°I thought you just wanted to work with them¡±
Feng Jia looked at her and didn¡¯t say anything.
He didn¡¯t answer.
This angered Gu Chu again.
Bastard, you won¡¯t speak, right? Then don¡¯t ever speak!
What¡¯s so great about it!
Feng Jia saw that her eyes were filled with anger, then, he said unhurriedly, ¡°Wang Tai Group previously imed that they had sufficient funds and that the Yangchang project did not require any investment. But now that they suddenly want to cooperate with the Feng Corporation, people will definitely guessed that they are short of funds.¡±
When Gu Chu heard that, she immediately understood, ¡°The injection of funds can be seen as the Feng Corporation being optimistic about Wang Tai Group¡¯s future development. This way, the Feng Corporation and Wang Tai Group¡¯s stock prices will continue to rise, and the Feng Corporation will also be able to participate in the Yangchang project. Wang Tai Group will still be able to tide over the financial crisis and kill three birds with one stone.¡±
Feng Jia nodded in satisfaction, ¡°Mm.¡±
Gu Chu snorted, ¡°You¡¯re so shrewd.¡±
When the waiter served the dishes, Gu Wan interrupted their conversation. ¡°Dad, Mr. Feng, Chuchu, hurry up and eat.¡±
Mr. Gu also sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between them, so he said to her, ¡°Chuchu, give Feng Jia a bowl of soup.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips and picked up the spoon, wanting to serve him the soup.
However, a hand reached for the spoon before her. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±
Chapter 26 - Bicker
Chapter 26: Bicker
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Feng Jia Sheng took a bowl of soup and ced it in front of Gu Chu.
If it weren¡¯t because of Mr. Gu watching, she wouldn¡¯t drink this bowl of soup.
Suddenly, Gu Chu saw some steamed eggnts in front of her. With a malicious thought, she ced the dish in front of Feng Jia.
¡°Feng Jia, eat more eggnts. It¡¯s good for your body.¡±
She didn¡¯t know what was good about eggnts. Anyway, this was the dish Feng Jia hated the most.
Feng Jia knew that she was doing it on purpose. He just looked at her indifferently, while Gu Chu wasughing her head off.
Mr. Gu looked at their interaction and nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Not bad. Chuchu knows how to care about people.¡±
¡°Dad, how can I not know how to care about Feng Jia?¡±
Gu Chu knocked on the table as she spoke, as if urging him to eat.
A minuteter, Feng Jia picked up a piece and put it in his mouth without changing his expression. His Adam¡¯s apple rolled around as he swallowed it. ¡°Yes, Chuchu is very caring.¡±
Gu Chu felt a little bored when he did that. She pursed her lips and did not want to talk to him.
Of course, Gu Wan was quieter than her.
That was because she could not get a word in.
After dinner, Mr. Gu and Gu Wan went back to thepany. Gu Chu wanted to go to the hospital to have her stomach checked, so she ignored Feng Jia and left.
Feng Jia stood behind her and waited for the elevator with her. Suddenly, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t wrong you, but your mother seems to want me to cheat on you.¡±
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes and turned around to look at him.
Feng Jia was one head taller than her, so Gu Chu could only see his face when she raised her head slightly.
He brought up the matter again, and it was about what Gu Wan had been talking about before.
¡°Last night, when I arrived at the old mansion, your mother and your sister were already waiting there. She made a condition, and she wanted me to sign the project over to your sister.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. ¡°What condition?¡±
Feng Jia did not answer. He only said, ¡°We have been engaged for so many years, but your mother has never done you such a big favor. Now, it seems that after Gu Wan came back, you have fallen out of favor.¡±
Fallen out of favor...
These words were like a bomb that exploded in her heart.
She had heard these words before. Lin Yin had said something simr before.
She suddenly felt a sense of panic in her heart. The events of the past few days shed through her mind like a movie.
Her mother used her of stealing Gu Wan¡¯s engagement. Her father bought her favorite crab for Gu Wan. Her father made Gu Wan the vice director. Her mother went to look for Feng Jia for Gu Wan...
All of this meant one thing, and that was that she was reallyparable to Gu Wan...
Gu Chu subconsciously clenched her fingers. Suddenly, she felt powerless and at a loss.
She asked coldly, ¡°Is this the reason why you and Gu Wan are so close?¡±
To put it bluntly, their engagement was a contract.
The Feng family had three brothers, all of whom had the same father but different mothers. It could be seen that the struggle for power was no different than the struggle for the throne in ancient times.
The union between the Feng family and the Gu family had stabilized his position in the Feng family. He was a shrewd businessman.
So since she was not as valuable as Gu Wan now. Would he change his fiancee?
In fact, it was reasonable if he did. She couldn¡¯t me him.
She seemed to have found the reason why he had been going back and forth between her and Gu Wan for the past few days.
Suddenly, her breathing became heavy, and her heart felt as if it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand. She could hardly breathe.
Feng Jia lowered his eyes, and his gaze was unfathomable. ¡°If I really think that way, you shouldn¡¯t quarrel with me. Instead, you should think of ways to make me marry you.¡±
The meaning of his words was obvious. He wanted her to please him for the sake of her precarious position in the Gu family!
She froze. This was exactly what Lin Yin had said!
She did not think too much when Lin Yin said it, but when she heard what he said, she felt embarrassed and angry, she felt her blood boil. ¡°Don¡¯t act as if I can¡¯t live without you! You can marry whoever you want!¡±
A two-timing scumbag! And he said it so righteously!
It¡¯s unreal!
She thought of Lin Yin¡¯s words from yesterday and snorted coldly. ¡°If I want to hold my position in the Gu family. You may not be the only choice. I can still marry into the Lin family!¡±

¡°Lin Yu?¡± Feng Jia¡¯s emotions were unclear. ¡°He seems to treat you really well. He even gave you such a big project like the Sky Garden project, but have you ever thought about how he¡¯s going to exin it to his father and the directors?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t get too involved. This has nothing to do with you!¡± Gu Chu said in annoyance.
She had really had enough. To hell with pleasing him or holding her position in the Gu family.
¡°I¡¯ll go back tonight and tell my parents to cancel the engagement with you. Since my mother wants you to marry Gu Wan and I think you¡¯re quite interested, congrattions on getting what you want.¡±
Gu Chu left after saying that. She did not wait for the elevator nor Feng Jia any time to react.
She had just taken a step when her wrist was grabbed.
Feng Jia¡¯s hand was like steel. She couldn¡¯t shake it off no matter how hard she tried. She shouted angrily, ¡°Let go!¡±
Feng Jia pursed his lips. ¡°Can you talk properly?¡±
¡°No! Let Go!¡±
Gu Chu swung her hand in a circle. Feng Jia almost couldn¡¯t hold on to her, so he simply pulled her into his arms.
At this moment, the elevator door opened with a ding.
The people in the elevator looked at the people hugging each other tightly at the door,pletely embarrassed.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
The elevator door closed automatically again.
Damn it! We were waiting for so long! Gu Chu punched his back. ¡°Are you crazy?!¡±
Her ears turned red.
Feng Jia whispered in her ear, ¡°Can you talk properly now?¡±
He did not look like he wanted her to calm down. Instead, he looked like a high-ranking official who had taken time out of his busy schedule to deal with an unreasonable little girl.
He met Gu Wan several times in private and helped her gain a firm foothold in thepany. He did not put her in his eyes at all. Now, he was using her of being unreasonable?!
Heh.
She was so angry that sheughed. ¡°What are you trying to do in public? If you want to lose face, go run around naked. Don¡¯t drag me into this!¡±
¡°We¡¯re husband and wife. Why are you so shy?¡±
¡°Who¡¯s your wife? Are we married? Do we have a marriage certificate?¡±
¡°Without the legal document, you¡¯re just a passerby!¡±
Feng Jia quickly answered, ¡°It¡¯s still not toote to get a marriage certificate.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
He asked again, ¡°You don¡¯t dare to go?¡±
Yeah right!
That bastard wasn¡¯t ying by the rules. How could he go and get the certificate just like that?
Gu Chu¡¯s heart was in a mess. She had mixed feelings and her eyshes were fluttering fast.
Once they got the certificate, their rtionship status couldn¡¯t be changed. Was he using this to tell her that he chose her and not Gu Wan?!
Although Gu Chu did not want to admit it, his words had indeed made her heart burn. However, she was angry at her own spinelessness.
She said angrily, ¡°Who would want to get the marriage certificate with you in such an ambiguous situation?¡±
Feng Jia asked coldly, ¡°What¡¯s unclear between us?¡±
Gu Chu was now filled with annoyance. Hee was the one who was entangled with someone else, and now he was the one who wanted to get the marriage certificate. What right did he have to do whatever he wanted?!
Even though she, Gu Chu, was not as favored as Gu Wan in the family, she was not an easy person to coax.
Moreover, she was not that undignified.
She took a deep breath and broke away from his embrace.
She reached out and suddenly touched his Adam¡¯s apple. Then, she slid down bit by bit, deliberately provoking his desire.
She said slowly, ¡°There must be something between you and Gu Wan. Before you exin it clearly, I won¡¯t marry you!¡±
She slid all the way to his abdomen and poked him again with her fingertips. ¡°I don¡¯t even want to sleep with you now, so let alone get married!¡±
Then, she pushed him hard. ¡°Get out of here!¡±
Then, she turned around and left without giving him any chance to react.
She went downstairs through the safety exit.
Feng Jia, on the other hand, looked at her heaving chest and couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud.
This little vixen who deserved to be fucked.
Gu Chu went downstairs and hailed a taxi at the entrance. After getting into the taxi, she said immediately, ¡°Go to the People¡¯s Hospital.¡±
The driver immediately started the car.
What was Feng Jia trying to hide between him and Gu Wan?
Was Gu Wan an antique that he had spent a lot of effort to find? Why was she so precious?
Gu Chu gritted her teeth and called Lin Yin to tell her about what had just happened. She couldn¡¯t hide her anger.
Lin Yin didn¡¯t reply immediately, but that didn¡¯t stop her from verbally attacking Feng Jia.
Chapter 28 - Bastard
Chapter 28: Bastard
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
However, she felt that it wasn¡¯t very satisfying to scold him unterally, so she changed Feng Jia¡¯s profile name on Wechat to ¡°Bastard¡±.
After she turned off Wechat, Mr. Gu called her.
¡°Dad.¡±
He asked her, ¡°Chuchu, you didn¡¯t go back to thepany this afternoon?¡±
¡°Yes, I want to go to the hospital to have my stomach checked. I¡¯ve been feeling a little unwell these few days.¡±
Mr. Gu sounded more concerned. ¡°Why is your stomach not feeling well?¡±
It seemed that her father was still concerned about her. She felt a littleforted and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Maybe I¡¯m just a little stressed.¡±
¡°Okay, then go and have a look. Or you can stay at home for the next few days and let the chef at home take care of you.¡±
¡°Yes, yes. Dad, is there something you want to see me about?¡±
Mr. Gu indeed had something in his mind. He said, ¡°Grandpa Feng wants to treat us to dinner tonight. It¡¯ste after you¡¯ve seen the doctor, so you can go straight to the old mansion. Besides, Grandpa Feng has always liked you. If you arrive early, you can chat with him. Later, your mother, your sister, and I will also be there.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. ¡°Okay.¡±
After hanging up, she turned on the front camera of her phone and looked at her face.
She looked a little haggard.
During this period of time, she had not had a good rest for a long time because of the Yangchang project and Gu Wan¡¯s matter, so it waspletely reflected on her face.
This was not good. This was the first time that she and Gu Wan had appeared in front of the Feng family at the same time. She could not be overshadowed by Gu Wan!
Gu Chu opened Wechat again and contacted her beautician. ¡°Are you free today?¡±
She replied almost instantly, ¡°Yes, Miss Gu. Do you want toe over now?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be there soon.¡±
Gu Chu said to the driver in front, ¡°I¡¯m not going to the hospital. I¡¯m going to Wuyue 3.¡±
When she was lying on the chair, she received a reply from Lin Yin who was ridiculing Feng Jia.
¡°Although his words are too cold, he is telling the truth.¡±
Gu Chu slowly typed out a question mark, ¡°He humiliated me so much, yet you are not on my side?¡±
In the next five minutes, Lin Yin sent a long message to express her anger.
¡°CEO Feng¡¯s IQ is beyond words, but his EQ is the inverse.¡±
¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not just inversely proportional, it¡¯s exponentially inversely proportional!¡±
¡°Right!¡±
¡°Besides, who does he think he is? Does he think everyone wants to please him?¡±
¡°Regardless of whether it¡¯s a marriage alliance or not, he can¡¯t even be loyal to one woman!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. Bastard!¡±
After she finishedining, her mood improved a lot.
However, she was still a little angry.
Therefore, she sent a screenshot of the conversation between her and Lin Yin to Feng Jia.
When Feng Jia received the Wechat message, he was listening to his subordinates report about the Yangchang project.
He casually skimmed over it. After seeing Gu Chu¡¯s name, he picked it up and opened it. It was a long screenshot.
He skimmed through the long speech at the beginning and saw thest word ¡°Bastard¡±.
Bastard?
His expression didn¡¯t change at all until the screenshot was deleted.
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
After Gu Chu sent it, she thought that it was fine to scold him in private, but she couldn¡¯t say it in front of him.
After all, it wasn¡¯t harmful but extremely insulting.
She had to show mercy.
Thus, after she cropped off the word ¡°Bastard¡±, she sent the screenshot again.
Feng Jia smiled and replied to her with an emoji.
¡°That¡¯s it?¡±
That¡¯s right, it was just an emoji with a panda face that said ¡°That¡¯s it.¡±
Gu Chu was speechless. She had said so much, but he replied with an emoji without much emotion?
She really couldn¡¯t win against him.
She locked the screen, threw her phone to the side, and closed her eyes.
With such a fianc¨¦, she would get cancer sooner orter!
The beauty salon yed soothing music that wasparable to a luby. Gu Chu fell asleep unknowingly.
In the fog, she felt the ground disappear under her feet. When she came back to her senses, a woman suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was the woman who had appeared in her dream.
This time, she did not say anything. She just quietly looked at her and walked further and further away. Gu Chu quickly ran to catch up with her, but she was gone.
She woke up and looked at the time. It had been two hours.
Chapter 29 - Feng Jia Came to Pick Her Up
Chapter 29: Feng Jia Came to Pick Her Up
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu wanted to recall the appearance of that woman, but she couldn¡¯t remember no matter how hard she tried.
She knocked her head and the woman who was doing the treatment said, ¡°Miss Gu, you look a little tired recently. You need to rest well.¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
Her skin that had just been treated felt like a peeled egg. She put on make-up that the elders liked and chose a warm-tone lipstick to make herself look like a good granddaughter-inw of the Feng family.
Even if she did not want to marry Feng Jia for the time being, she could not let Gu Wan have a name in the Feng family.
After she had prepared everything, she took a taxi to the Feng family¡¯s old mansion.
The old mansion was in the suburbs, which was a little far. It happened to be after work hours and there was a traffic jam on the way, so she spent some time stuck in the car.
She opened Wechat, and Lin Yin had sent her a few messages. The content was an analysis.
¡°By the way, what terms did your mother and Feng Jia discuss?¡±
¡°Your mother is paving the way for Gu Wan in order to make up to her. But since Feng Jia could see that your status in the Gu family has plummeted, it means that your mother¡¯s terms are definitely not simple.¡±
¡°So, you must keep Feng Jia in your hands!¡±
¡°Also, do you actually want to marry my brother? We¡¯ve been sisters for so many years. If we be sister-inws, I will feel a little... awkward.¡±
The fourth message was an hour after the first three messages. She probably could not wait for her reply, so her thoughts ran a little wild.
Gu Chu immediately replied, ¡°I just had a beauty treatment and slept for a while.¡±
Actually, there wasn¡¯t any substantive reply to her words.
The truth was that she didn¡¯t know how to reply either.
It was already dark outside, and the neon lights were shing past her eyes.
She didn¡¯t know what she was thinking. At this moment, Raindrops fell on the car window, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window grew louder and louder.
Haicheng CIty was rainy, and she was always caught off guard.
Only then did she realize that she did not seem to have an umbre with her.
She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and sent a message to Feng Pei.
¡°Tell the maid to bring out the umbre to pick me up. Otherwise, I¡¯ll tell Grandpa Feng that you bullied me!¡±
She even added a smiling emoji.
A few minutester, Feng Pei also replied with a smiling emoji.
After waiting in the car for ten minutes, Gu Chu¡¯s patience was almost worn out, and the driver could not wait any longer.
She was about to call Feng Pei to pick her up personally, but when she looked up, she saw a tall figure with an umbre walking over slowly.
The streetlights were dim, and he was holding an umbre in one hand. His footsteps were steady, neither fast nor slow.
When he got closer, she opened the door and got out of the car. At first, she thought that it was a servant who would escort her. She did not expect it to be him. ¡°Did Feng Pei purposely let you pick me up sote?¡±
The umbre was big, more than enough to shield the two of them. His jawline was smooth and exquisite, his thin lips were sexy, his nose bridge was high, and his eyes were deep and beautiful.
With his looks, he was definitely one of the most handsome men she knew.
After all, when she first hooked up with him, wasn¡¯t it because of his good looks?
So, with just a nce, she choked on her nextint.
He took a step forward and put his arm around her waist. His face was handsome and bright, and he said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
He tilted his head, and the hot air that he exhaled blew into Gu Chu¡¯s ears. She turned her head slightly. ¡°You were also called here by Grandpa Feng?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± He answered faintly and walked forward with his arm around her waist.
They walked together on the cobblestone road. The streetmps shone on their figures. The atmosphere was quiet, and only the sound of raindrops falling on the umbre could be heard.
Gu Chu could not keep up with his pace. Sheined, ¡°Can you slow down a little?¡±
He suddenly stopped, and she almost bumped into his back.
Then, he slightly tilted his body and handed the umbre in his hand.
Gu Chu took the umbre in confusion.
Then, her feet left the ground. He picked up the princess in one go. After holding her properly, he sneered, ¡°So spoiled.¡±
In other words, she was trying to be seductive.
¡°Hmph.¡± Gu Chu curled his lips in disdain.
His steps were steady, and she was a little bored. She reached out to y with his cor, and her fingertips would asionally poke his corbone and chest. Every time she poked, there would be a string of tiny electric currents.
Feng Jia lowered her eyes and looked at her warningly. He muttered, ¡°Stop fooling around.¡±
Gu Chu curled her lips. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just go back to the old mansion for dinnerst night? Why are you here again today?¡±
Then, without waiting for him to answer, she said, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s because my family is here. Grandpa Feng asked you to entertain us, and you agreed. I thought you would reject it because you¡¯re busy with work.¡±
Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, ¡°Oh, I almost forgot. Tomorrow is the weekend. Even if you have a lot of work to do, it¡¯s not a big deal to rx for one night.¡±

Chapter 30: When Will You Get Married
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu kept nagging while Feng Jia listened to her own questions and answers.
The Feng family¡¯s old mansion was a chinese-style building. It emphasized on the surroundings and the central courtyard. Walking from the main entrance to the house required walking through two or three doors. It was not easy to walk on slippery roads on rainy days, so Feng Jia carried Gu Chu and walked for a full ten minutes before reaching the main entrance.
Before they entered the house, Gu Chu heard Grandpa Feng mumbling, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Chuchu here yet? Did Feng Jia pick her up? Go out and take a look.¡±
Feng Pei answered, ¡°Then I¡¯ll make a call and ask.¡±
Then, she said, ¡°I just said that I¡¯ll call someone to pick her up, but you insisted that my brother go. It¡¯s raining so hard outside.¡±
Grandpa Feng said confidently, ¡°Since Feng Jia is here, of course he should?pick her up. After all, Chuchu is his wife.¡±
Gu Chu jumped down from Feng Jia and handed the umbre to him. Then, she walked into the house and called out, ¡°Grandpa!¡±
Grandpa Feng immediately stood up from the sofa. ¡°Ah, Chuchu, I thought Feng Jia didn¡¯t pick you up.¡±
The maid quickly took the umbre from Feng Jia and handed him a dry towel. Feng Jia wiped the raindrops off his coat while Gu Chu changed into her shoes and ran to Old Master Feng.
Old Master Feng sounded concerned. ¡°Did you get caught in the rain?¡±
Then, he instructed the maid, ¡°Go and cook a bowl of ginger tea for Chuchu.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t get caught in the rain. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can hug me and see if I¡¯m wet.¡± Gu Chu smiled and went forward to hug Old Master Feng.
He was delighted by her coaxing. ¡°It¡¯s good that you didn¡¯t get wet.¡±
Feng Pei couldn¡¯t stand her pretentious behavior and rolled her eyes. ¡°Tsk.¡±
Gu Chu also liked this old man who treated her as his granddaughter from the bottom of his heart. She said, ¡°Grandpa, how¡¯s your health recently? Is your blood pressure normal?¡±
¡°Yes. Everything is normal.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Gu Chu held a cup of ginger tea with a smile on his face.
At this time, old man Feng looked at Gu Chu and said, ¡°Chuchu, look at you. You¡¯re too skinny. I think you should hurry up and have a wedding with Feng Jia, right?¡±
Gu Chu was confused. Was there any causal rtionship between her being skinny and having a wedding?
Grandpa Feng continued, ¡°After that the two of you should go on a honeymoon and enjoy for a while.¡±
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t get a word in.
Old Master Feng added, ¡°Maybe when youe back, I¡¯ll be able to have a great-grandchild too.¡±
Gu Chu quickly said, ¡°No, Grandpa, we...¡±
Old Master Feng interrupted her, ¡°Chuchu, do you like boys or girls? I like girls because girls will be like you.¡±
Seeing that Old Master Feng¡¯s words were getting more and more ridiculous, Gu Chu was speechless. She quickly looked at Feng Jia for help and signaled him with her eyes, ¡°Hurry up and say something!¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything and only smiled at her.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
What are youughing at?!
What¡¯s so funny?!
She had told Feng Jia that she wouldn¡¯t marry him until he figured out the rtionship between him and Gu Wan.
However, she didn¡¯t dare to tell Old Master Feng that she had no intention of getting married.
This was because once this thought was revealed, Grandpa Feng would definitely tell his parents, his parents might take the opportunity to say, ¡°Then we¡¯ll respect Chuchu¡¯s wishes. Since she¡¯s not willing to marry Feng Jia, what do you think of Gu Wan? Gu Wan and Feng Jia are verypatible.¡±
At that time, she would have nowhere to cry.
Gu Chu acted coquettishly towards Grandpa Feng. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m still young. I don¡¯t want to get married yet.¡±
Her tone was very soft.
Feng Jia looked at her with a dark gaze.
Feng Pei looked at her with disdain. Was this b * tch sick? She actually acted coquettishly towards an old man?
Grandpa Feng¡¯s gaze was surprised as he said, ¡°Chuchu, you¡¯re not young at twenty-five. In our era, people at twenty-five have children who are old enough to work.¡±
¡°That was in your era. Now, it¡¯s considered early for us to get married before the age of thirty!¡±
When Grandpa Feng heard her words, he misinterpreted what she meant. ¡°Then do you n to get married at the age of 30?¡±
Gu Chu blinked. ¡°I, I mean...¡±
¡°Aiya, grandpa, don¡¯t you understand? She just doesn¡¯t want to get married to big brother.¡±
Feng Pei finally took the opportunity to stab her in the back. She had had enough of Gu Chu tonight.
Hearing that, Old Master Feng quickly looked at Gu Chu.
Gu Chu touched her hair. ¡°Oh, Grandpa, it¡¯s not like that either. When two people are together, the sweetest time is when they are dating. It will definitely change after marriage. I still want to enjoy this time. I¡¯ll get married after I¡¯ve had enough fun.¡±

Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Feng Pei continued to be sarcastic. ¡°They have been engaged for so many years, but they have no intention of getting married. What does this mean? It means that they basically have no n to. Most people would get married after two or three years. So, grandpa, don¡¯t force them.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She originally didn¡¯t want to argue with a little girl, but since she had started it, then she shouldn¡¯t me her.
She said with a fake smile, ¡°What does a teenage girl like you know about adults¡¯ rtionships? You keep talking about getting married. What, are you in a rtionship?¡±
Feng Pei was stunned, then she straightened her neck and said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±
¡°Really?¡± Gu Chu looked at Grandpa Feng. ¡°You have to be careful. At her age, she yearns for love the most. Maybe in two days, she will bring back a grandson-inw for you.¡±
Old Master Feng was stunned and said as if he was facing a great enemy, ¡°During the winter vacation, you will go to your parents¡¯ winter camp. At your age, you should focus on your studies. Don¡¯t be like your third brother, who is ignorant and ipetent.¡±
Feng Pei was on the verge of copse and shouted, ¡°No, grandpa, I¡¯m not in a rtionship!¡±
Gu Chu looked at her as if she was watching a y. ¡°Then how many points did you score in the recent midterm exam? What was your grade? Where is your report card?¡±
Old Master Feng thought about it and quickly said, ¡°Yes, where¡¯s your report card?¡±
Feng Pei: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu continued to drink ginger tea leisurely.
Hehe, little girl, you want to fight with me? !
After she sessfully diverted Old Master Feng¡¯s attention from herself, the other three members of the Gu family also arrived, so no one mentioned the topic of marriage.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Gu Chu ran to Feng Jia¡¯s side, wanting to pinch him to vent her anger!
The bastard actually let her deal with his grandfather alone!
Feng Jia didn¡¯t look at her, but he knew what she wanted to do. He grabbed her hand and interlocked her fingers.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She gritted her teeth. ¡°Do you have any shame?¡±
Feng Jia pretended not to hear her and yed with her fingers. Gu Chu shook her arm but did not manage to shake them off. However, she did not dare to make a big move. After all, if the elders found out, they would definitely make fun of her.
Make fun of her?
She thought about it again. If Feng Jia made a fool of himself, then wouldn¡¯t he be the one being made fun of?
Gu Chu stretched out her little finger and scratched his palm, then hooked it gently.
That¡¯s right, she¡¯s flirting with him.
Feng Jia nced at her from the side, and she smiled at him, looking extremely charming.
Feng Jia¡¯s lips curved, and he held her fingers tightly.
Gu Chu could no longer flirt with him, and she snorted.
Their actions were subtle, and no one noticed at all.
Although Old Master Feng had seen Gu Wanst night, he had not prepared a gift for her at that time. Today, he had prepared an embroidered box and handed it to her.
Gu Wan declined shyly. Old Master Feng smiled and said, ¡°You should have it.¡±
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, ¡°Wanwan, since Grandpa Feng gave it to you, you should ept it and thank him.¡±
¡°Thank you, grandpa.¡± Gu Wan smiled shyly.
Old Master Feng waved his hand. ¡°No need to thank me. I hope you like it. Open it and take a look.¡±
Gu Wan opened it and saw that it was a jade bracelet. The craftsmanship was excellent. One look and one could tell that it was very expensive. The design was also very young and suitable for a young girl of her age to wear.
Gu Chu nced at the box curiously and was caught by Old Master Feng. His smile became even brighter. ¡°Chuchu, don¡¯t be envious of your sister. I¡¯ve prepared one for you too.¡±
As he spoke, he took out another box and handed it to Gu Chu.
Gu Chu quickly shook off Feng Jia¡¯s hand and took it. ¡°Grandpa, we¡¯ve seen each other countless times. You don¡¯t have to give me a gift.¡±
¡°These bracelets are a pair. You and your sister each have one. Just take it.¡±
Old Master Feng had watched Gu Chu grow up. He liked her very much. He would give her a share of whatever good things he had. This was also one of the reasons why Feng Pei hated Gu Chu. It was because he liked Gu Chu more than his own biological granddaughter.
Therefore, Gu Chu epted the jade bracelet. She put it on and smiled at Old Master Feng. ¡°Grandpa, does it look good?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Old Master Feng replied with a smile.
Mr. Gu also smiled. ¡°This child¡¡±
Gu Chu actually liked jade more than jewels. After admiring it for a while, she reached out to Feng Jia and asked, ¡°How is it?¡±
Feng Jia lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, ¡°It looks good.¡±

Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
He whispered in her ear again, ¡°Come back with meter.¡±
Go back to what? Dream on!
After ring at him, Gu Chu looked away and saw Gu Wan clenching the box tightly. The veins on the back of her hand were throbbing as if she was suppressing something.
Gu Chu looked at her face. There was nothing strange on her face. She still had a gentle smile. When she met her eyes, she gave her an even more gentle smile.
They had Cantonese food for dinner.
Old Master Feng knew that Gu Chu liked to eat that. Every time she came to the house, he would ask the chef to prepare it.
However, Gu Chu felt that Feng Jia also liked it. After all, they always ordered Cantonese food every time they went out.
Could it be that he was trying to amodate her.
It would be quite awkward for arge table of people to sit together if they did not speak. Fortunately, they were all people who had experience in the business world. They chatted harmoniously and there was no silence at all.
After the meal, Old Master Feng and Mr. Gu were drinking tea and chatting. He knew that Gu Chu could not sit still, so he asked Feng Jia to take her out.
Feng Pei would not let Gu Chu be happy. She quickly said, ¡°Gu Wan hasn¡¯t visited the old mansion yet. Take her with you.¡±
Feng Jia turned his head indifferently, his eyes filled with warning.
Old Master Feng said to Gu Wan, ¡°Come to the old mansion more often to visit me in the future. There will be many opportunities to visit. There¡¯s no hurry this time. I still want to talk to you.¡±
Then, he tilted his head to look at Feng Jia. ¡°Feng Jia, bring Gu Chu along.¡±
Mrs. Gu, who had not spoken much all this time, also said gently, ¡°Mmm, Chuchu, you can go with Feng Jia. Wanwan won¡¯t be going.¡±
Gu Chu walked to the door to change her shoes. She took the opportunity to turn around and give Feng Pei a smug smile. Feng Pei¡¯s heart felt stifled, so she simply stood up and went upstairs.
Gu Chu¡¯s mood got better as she strolled around.
Inparison, Feng Jia was not in such a good mood. He received an international call and was strolling while working. Gu Chu was not interested, so she simply left him to wander around by herself.
After strolling around, Gu Chu felt a little tired, so she went back to the house. She heard the three adults in the room talking.
Mrs. Gu asked, ¡°I heard that Feng Jia¡¯s parents areing back from abroad? Is that true?¡±
Old Master Feng nodded. ¡°It¡¯s true. However, it will take some time before they can return to Haicheng City.¡±
Mr. Gu sighed. ¡°In the blink of an eye, they¡¯ve been abroad for more than ten years. They¡¯ve only been a few times in so many years. Now, they¡¯re finallying back to settle down.¡±
¡°It can¡¯t be helped. Wang Qin¡¯s health isn¡¯t good. She can¡¯t leave the hospital.¡± Old Master Feng sighed.
Gu Chu put away the high heels she had changed into. She thought to herself that the way her mother said ¡°Feng Jia¡¯s parents¡± wasn¡¯t quite right. His father was indeed his father, but his mother wasn¡¯t his biological mother.
His biological mother¡¯s health was not good, and she passed away not long after giving birth to him.
Aunt Feng was Uncle Feng¡¯s second wife. She had given birth to Feng Jia¡¯s third brother and Feng Pei.
Aunt Feng¡¯s health was not good either. All these years, she had been taking medicine and had to rely on advanced medical equipment from abroad. That was why the two of them had never returned to the country.
Gu Chu had only seen them twice in her entire life.
Mr. Gy tugged on the corner of Mr. Gu¡¯s shirt. ¡°It wasn¡¯t just more than ten years, it was twenty years. On the day Wang Qin went abroad, I brought Wanwan to send her off. She even hugged Wanwan at that time, telling her to grow up quickly and...¡±
Gu Chu was going to change her shoes and go in, but when she heard this, her eyelids twitched. He heard her mother say, ¡°...marry Feng Jia as soon as possible.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
All the blood in her body froze at this moment.
Feng Pei happened toe downstairs at this time. When she heard their words, she looked at Gu Chu who was at the entrance. She ran over and asked excitedly, ¡°Really? My mother said that Gu Wan will marry my brother? Is that true?¡±
¡°Then, shouldn¡¯t we correct it now? After all, Wanwan is already back. Why don¡¯t we change the engagement?¡±
Change the engagement?
In the past month, there had been too many rumors like this.
It was one thing for the rumors to spread in Haicheng City, but now they were finally on the table?
Gu Chu still didn¡¯t go in, and the people inside didn¡¯t see her. There was a moment of silence in the air, as if no one knew how to respond?
Until Old Master Feng chuckled, ¡°Have some tea. My old friend brought it back from a business trip in Chaozhou City. It¡¯s called the Phoenix Tea. I think it¡¯s not bad. You guys should try it too.¡±
Feng Pei continued pestering him, ¡°Grandpa, is it really true? Back then, was it really Gu Wan who was engaged to big brother?¡±
The scene became quiet again.

Chapter 33: Chuchu, Is That Okay?
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Mr. Gu was the first to speak. He then replied to Old Master Feng, ¡°Haha, this name is not bad. Since I¡¯m here, I must try it.¡±
Old Master Feng smiled, ¡°If you like it, drink more. I¡¯ll get someone to pack some for you to take awayter.¡±
Mr. Gu, ¡°Then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. I¡¯m quite fond of this taste.¡±
The atmosphere in the living room returned to normal again. Feng Pei couldn¡¯t interrupt them even if she wanted to. They were very happy together, but unfortunately, the happiness couldn¡¯t reach Gu Chu anymore.
Mrs. Gu said that to test him, right? A test of Old Master Feng¡¯s attitude towards changing the engagement.
Her spine started to feel cold. If she could still lie to herself before that her mother didn¡¯t mean it, then what about now?
Didn¡¯t she know that changing the engagement would make her the joke of the entire Haicheng City?
She had always thought that her mother at least cared about her, but now, she wasn¡¯t sure anymore.
Gu Chu slowly moved backward.
No wonder she had agreed to let her go out with Feng Jia. It turned out that she wanted to drive her away so that she could test Old Master Feng.
If these words hadn¡¯te from her mouth, she could have defended herself a hundred times.
But now, she was like a loser, not even daring to show her face.
She could not even ask, ¡°Am I not your daughter? Why do you only care about Gu Wan and not me at all?¡±
At this moment, Feng Jia¡¯s voice rang in her ears, ¡°Why are you standing here?¡±
She quickly turned around and covered his mouth, not wanting him to hear what was said in the living room. However, just as she was about to touch him, he grabbed her.
Her eyes met his, and her heart began to tremble.
Old Master Feng¡¯s ears were sharp. When he heard what Feng Jia said at the door, he asked in a loud voice, ¡°Are Chuchu and Feng Jia back?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Feng Jia grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her in.
As soon as Gu Chu entered, he saw Mrs. Gu drinking tea with her head lowered. Her expression could not be seen clearly, and Mr. Gu¡¯s eyes met hers. In the next second, he looked away.
Feng Pei, who was the only one who didn¡¯t mind the drama, said excitedly, ¡°Just now, I heard that Aunt Gu said that when you were young, mom had you engaged to Gu Wan, not Gu Chu!¡±
Feng Jiaughed when he heard that. He lowered his head and looked at Gu Chu. ¡°So that¡¯s why you¡¯ve been quarreling with me.¡±
Gu Chu raised her head and looked at him in confusion.
His voice was low and deep, but it was enough for everyone in the living room to hear.
Old Master Feng asked curiously, ¡°What do you mean?¡±
Feng Jia said gently, ¡°It¡¯s what Aunt Gu said just now. She misunderstood and kept throwing a tantrum at me.¡±
Gu Chu blinked her eyes in confusion.
¡°At that time, mom was already out of her mind. She couldn¡¯t even recognize the girl. Whenever she saw a girl, she would say that she would be my wife in the future. Do I have to marry every one of them?¡±
Gu Chu opened her mouth in confusion.
¡°Besides, even if mom wanted to find a daughter-inw, she did it for Feng Yuan. It has nothing to do with me.¡± He paused for a moment and then said in a friendly tone, ¡°Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can you reconcile with me?¡±
Reconcile? Or Not?
So, was he trying to protect her with this call?
He must be!
She nodded subconsciously.
¡°It¡¯s gettingte. It¡¯s inconvenient to take a taxi. Let me send you back, okay?¡±
He asked if it¡¯s ok?
Then... of course it¡¯s okay.
Gu Chu nodded again.
¡°Good. Feng Jia, send Chuchu back.¡± Old Master Feng nodded with satisfaction and even personally sent them to the door.
They had attracted everyone¡¯s attention, but they did not notice that Gu Wan, who was behind them, had somehow broken a ss of water.
Immediately, a servant came forward to clean it up. ¡°Miss Gu, be careful. I¡¯ll do it.¡±
Gu Wan said in a low voice, ¡°Thank you. I want to go to the bathroom.¡±
The servant pointed in the direction. ¡°Over there.¡±
After Gu Wan finished using the bathroom, she washed her hands at the sink outside. At that moment, Feng Pei walked over, she turned on the tap and washed her hands too. ¡°Don¡¯t take what your mom said seriously. Although I don¡¯t like Gu Chu, I don¡¯t like you either.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°Heh. Firstly, you¡¯re not as pretty as Gu Chu. Secondly, you don¡¯t have her temperament either. You¡¯re so submissive and small-minded. If you stand by my brother¡¯s side, people who don¡¯t know would think you¡¯re a servant. Don¡¯t embarrass my family.¡±
After that, she turned off the tap, wiped her hands, and left without looking back.
Gu Wan was the only one left standing on the spot with a gloomy expression.
Chapter 34 - In the Bathroom
Chapter 34: In the Bathroom

In the car, Gu Chu held her chin and turned to look at the man with a smile. She had known him for a long time, but this was the first time he was so pleasing to the eye. ¡°Why are you so kind today? Why did you suddenly realize that you¡¯re my fianc¨¦?¡±
Feng Jia looked at her. ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth.¡±
Gu Chu pouted. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be saying some sweet things to coax me?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need for that,¡± He said.
¡°...¡±
Gu Chu was speechless.
It started to drizzle outside again. She sat up straight and pouted. ¡°You¡¯re really a stoic man who doesn¡¯t know how to be sweet.¡±
Feng Jia nced at her indifferently. ¡°You want to hear it?¡±
Gu Chu said unhappily, ¡°Yeah.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°I don¡¯t feel like it.¡±
Gu Chu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
However, what he said before was the truth, and this sentence was true.
The current Mrs. Feng was Feng Jia¡¯s stepmother. In this world, there were only a few stepmothers who had a good rtionship with their stepson. Moreover, she had given birth to a younger brother and sister. It would be strange if they had a good rtionship since they wanted to split the family fortune with him.
Although Feng Jia didn¡¯t mention his opinion of Mrs. Feng in front of her, judging from the intensepetition between the three Feng brothers, although Mrs. Feng was sick and far away, she shouldn¡¯t have added fuel to the fire.
And how could Feng Jia listen to his stepmother and marry whoever she told him to?
Even though he didn¡¯t specifically protect her, it didn¡¯t stop her from feeling better.
Gu Chu hummed a tune in a good mood. It was out of tune, and coupled with her soft voice, it sounded like a hook that was scratching people¡¯s hearts.
As she hummed, she thought of Mrs. Gu.
Gu Chu did not look at her face even after she left, so she did not know whether her face would be filled with embarrassment or guilt?
It should be embarrassment. If she really felt guilty, she would not have tried to test Old Master Feng.
However, Gu Chu could not help but have a glimmer of hope in her heart. She must have listened to Gu Wan¡¯s words and thought that she was the cause of Gu Wan¡¯s disappearance for twenty years. Was that why she med her and treated her like this?
She wondered if she would believe her and treat her as before if she exined it clearly?
She should because she was also her daughter. Even if she was biased towards Gu Wan, she shouldn¡¯t have been so extreme, right?
Moreover, she had doted on her in the past.
Gu Chu came back to her senses and saw that the car was driving in the wrong direction. She asked, ¡°Where are you taking me?¡±
¡°Jinyuan Residence.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Why did he take her to his ce?
Gu Chu blinked. ¡°Send me back to my apartment.¡±
¡°You flirted with me for so long tonight, and you want to leave just like that?¡±
¡°...¡±
She just shot herself in the foot.
Gu Chu entered the house and he received another phone call. She said kindly, ¡°Do your thing first, I¡¯ll take a shower.¡±
Then, she stretched, opened the wardrobe, and went into the bathroom with her nightdress.
Feng Jia was making a phone call outside as he untied his watch. Then, he reached for the buttons of his clothes.
After Gu Chu removed her makeup, she turned on the shower. As she took a shower, she was thinking about something. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened.
She was stunned. She turned her head and saw someone walking in naked. She asked curiously, ¡°How did you get in?¡±
Didn¡¯t she lock the door?
He said in a low voice, ¡°I opened the door with the key.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She wanted to say something, but her waist was grabbed. She turned over and leaned against his body.
Even though her body had been washed by the hot water, it was still a little cold. As she leaned against his hot body, goosebumps rose all over her body.
She supported herself against his chest with both hands, trying to push him away. However, he buckled her waist, and they stuck tightly together. Then, his burning kiss fell on her.
Gu Chu: ¡°!¡±
So urgent?
He felt urgent.
He pressed her body against the tile wall and lifted her body up. He said, ¡°Hold on tight. I won¡¯t be responsible if you fall.¡±
Bastard! How could he speak like that?!
She clung tightly to his body to prevent herself from falling.
However, he exerted force and she almost lost her grip. She reached out and pounded his chest. ¡°You¡ be gentle!¡±
¡°Rx.¡± His eyes were red and he sighed. ¡°So tight.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s entire face was red. She gripped his back tightly, leaving a few red scratches.
Later, she felt too tired to stand, so they changed their position.
Chapter 35 - Abandoned Her
Chapter 35: Abandoned Her
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu ced her hands on the edge of the bathtub with her back facing up. Feng Jia pinched her waist and went in from behind.
Her back was thin and smooth. There was a beautiful butterfly bone on it, and a beautifully shaped waist. The curves on her back were all beautiful.
He bent down and nted one hot kiss after another on her back.
Especially on the back of her neck. The hickeys and bite marks were so intense.
Gu Chu still felt a little tired and said tenderly, ¡°I can¡¯t do it anymore, Feng Jia. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡±
He was about to knock her into the bathtub!
Feng Jia scooped her up and carried her onto the sink. Gu Chu nced at her and happened to see her face reflected on the misty mirror.
She pushed him away. ¡°Not here.¡±
¡°Chu Chu, be good. Look at the mirror.¡± He stared at her with some infatuation. ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful in the mirror.¡±
Beautiful my ass! What kind of weird kink is this?!
To think that he thought of doing it in front of the mirror.
Oh, not only could he think of it, but he could also do it.
In the end, they somehow ended up on the bed.
She thought that she had really flirted too much today. She was afraid that he would not be able to calm down for a while.
After they were done, she stretched out her toes and kicked him. ¡°I want to take a shower.¡±
Feng Jia carried her to the bathroom and did it again.
Gu Chu really did not have the energy to argue with him. She allowed him to take advantage of her in the name of taking a shower.
The next day was Saturday, so she didn¡¯t have to go to work. Gu Chu was too tired to get up, so she slept until twelve o¡¯clock in the afternoon.
When she opened her eyes, she was the only one left in the room. She rubbed her hair, looked at the room, and called out to him, ¡°Feng Jia, Feng Jia...¡±
No one answered, he was probably not at home.
Gu Chu got out of bed, washed up, and went into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and found that there was nothing good to eat, so she went back to the bedroom and nned to order takeout.
Just as she opened her phone, she saw an unread message. She clicked on it and saw that it was from Meng Lang.
Meng Lang was a carefree prodigal.
¡°Spring is the season when all things are revived. It¡¯s time for the animals to go into heat again. We can¡¯t miss this, wanna go out to have a good time?¡±
Gu Chu clicked her tongue. What kind of animals were going into heat? What does that have to do with going out?
He was indeed a prodigal, and an uncultured one.
She replied coldly, ¡°I¡¯m not free.¡±
Meng Lang replied almost instantly, ¡°It¡¯s Saturday today. We don¡¯t have to go to work. Why are you pretending to be busy? Hurry up ande out!¡±
Her tone became even colder. ¡°No.¡±
Meng Lang replied again, ¡°Hurry up ande. We¡¯re at the Gu Yue Vi. Feng Jia is here too. Are you really noting?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
This bastard, how could he be so energetic? !
They had just ¡°fought¡± seven or eight roundsst night, and he went to Gu Yue vi so early in the morning? !
He had actually abandoned her? !
She thought that he had gone to thepany to work.
Hehe, he¡¯s really asking for a breakup.
Did he think that she wouldn¡¯t break up with him?
At this moment, a message from Lin Yin popped up. Gu Chu ignored Meng Lang and looked at Lin Yin¡¯s message.
Lin Yin sent a few emojis, then a text, ¡°Chuchu! The case has been solved!¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s face was full of confusion. ¡°What?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t know who was spreading the rumor, right?¡±
Yes,?her parents had discussed it behind closed doors. How did it be known?
Gu Chu: ¡°Have you found out?¡±
¡°Let me show you a photo.¡±
Then, the photo was sent to her.
Gu Chu opened the photo. In the photo, there were three beautifully dressed women eating in a restaurant. One of them was Gu Wan, and the other two...
She took a closer look but couldn¡¯t recognize them at all.
¡°They seem to be on good terms with Gu Wan. It shouldn¡¯t be the first time they met. Who are the other two?¡±
Lin Yin couldn¡¯t be bothered to type, she sent a long voice message. ¡°The one on the left is from the Lin family, Qing something, and the one on the right is Yun something. Their family is in the jewelry business. The two families are partners, but that¡¯s not the point. The point is...¡±
¡°The two families have been in a hurry to raise funds recently. They were looking for connections. Previously, they even came to my brother, hoping that he would invest in theirpany, but he rejected them. At a time like this, no matter how stupid they are, they shouldn¡¯t be so free to apany Gu Wan for dinner, right?¡±
Chapter 36 - Came Up with An Idea
Chapter 36: Came Up with An Idea
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu thought for a moment before replying, ¡°Could it be that they want to get help from the Gu family through Gu Wan?¡±
Lin Yin thought exactly the same as her. ¡°Yes! But then again, why would Gu Wan want to help them?!¡±
That¡¯s right, why should she?
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes. ¡°Unless they also gave Gu Wan some benefits. For example, they helped Gu Wan spread rumors!¡±
Lin Yin said, ¡°That¡¯s right! We are sisters! We thought the same thing!¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°Great.¡±
She thought that Gu Wan was just stirring up trouble in front of her parents. She did not expect that she would get outside help.
These two things were not the same! Gu Chu¡¯s face turned cold. At first, she was just a little angry with Gu Wan. Now, she was filled with disgust.
Lin Yin said, ¡°I told you Gu Wan¡¯s tactics were amazing. She first went for your parents and then created a rumor to stir up trouble. It¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s determined to get Feng Jia!¡±
Gu Chu said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s verify it first. If that¡¯s really the case...¡±
Those who knew Gu Chu should know that she was never someone who would be willing to suffer losses.
If she was set up by Gu Wan this time, how could she swallow it?
Lin Yin asked doubtfully, ¡°How do we verify it? We can¡¯t question her directly, can we?¡±
Gu Chu walked around the room twice, then said, ¡°Got it. Let¡¯s draw her out.¡±
¡°How?¡±
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Feng Jia is currently at Gu Yue Holiday Resort.¡±
¡°You mean¡¡± Lin Yin immediately understood.
Yes, Meng Lang was a famous yboy in Haicheng City. Women who wanted money would be interested to know that Meng Lang was there.
As long as they went to the resort together with Gu Wan who was interested in Feng Jia, she could verify whether they knew each other and whether there was any deal between them.
After all, seducing rich young men and one¡¯s own brother-inw were disgraceful. If they didn¡¯t know each other well, they wouldn¡¯t be together.
Gu Chu¡¯s lips curled. ¡°Do you want toe and watch the show?¡±
Lin Yin sighed. ¡°Although I really want to go, I still have to n the choreography. I went out today to look for inspiration. Now that I have some ideas, I can¡¯t go. If there¡¯s anything, just tell me directly.¡±
¡°Okay, good luck. I¡¯ll go by myself.¡±
Lin Yin was different from Gu Chu. She had an older brother, so she didn¡¯t need to learn how to manage thepany. She had loved dancing since she was young, especially folk dancing. She had learned it for twenty years and won many national and international awards.
Recently, she had been busy preparing for a new dancepetition.
¡°You have many friends. Get someone to spread the news to the sisters. There¡¯s no need to mention that I¡¯m also here.¡±
¡°Okay, leave it to me.¡±
Thus, Gu Chu replied to Meng Lang, ¡°I¡¯ming.¡±
Gu Yue Holiday Resort was also the ce where she sprained her ankle thest time. It was located in the outskirts Haicheng City.
The resort upied quite arge area. It was over 500 hectare. Two-thirds of it was open to the public. Anyone with money could enter. The remaining one-third was reserved for their family.
Gu Chu drove the car into the innermost part of the resort.
Meng Lang was ying mahjong in the small vi. Before Gu Chu entered, she heard his loud voice shouting, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Chuchu here yet? She would have arrived even if she flew from the Pacific Ocean, right?¡±
Gu Chu went in with a faint smile. ¡°What are you shouting for?¡±
Meng Lang turned around and immediately changed his face. He came over like ackey. ¡°I mean, Chuchu, I asked someone to get you your favorite eel. I¡¯ll personally roast it for youter. Don¡¯t you like my cooking the most?¡±
Gu Chu snorted.
On the mahjong table, there was a tough man with a buzz cut and tan skin. His name was Wang Xiao, and he grew up with them.
Although he looked like a tough man and was indeed a tough man, he liked hanging out with Meng Lang, the prodigal. It was as though they were joined at the hip.
Gu Chu nodded at Wang Xiao and asked, ¡°Why are there only two of you? How can two people y mahjong?¡±
Wang Xiao pointed upstairs. ¡°Feng Jia and Lu Shen are upstairs. They seem to be discussing business.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± A hint of surprise shed in Gu Chu¡¯s eyes. ¡°My cousin is here too.¡±
Lu Shen was her aunt¡¯s son.
She said, ¡°Why is it so lively today? Why is everyone here?¡±
¡°In Meng Lang¡¯s words, today is the day to celebrate the first anniversary of the Gu Yue Holiday Resort.¡±
Two people walked down from the second floor. The man who spoke was none other than Lu Shen, and the person beside him was none other than her fianc¨¦ who had tormented her many timesst night and abandoned her this morning!

Chapter 37: ying Mahjong
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Chu immediately made an usation. ¡°Feng Jia, you left me alone at home. Why did youe here to celebrate the first anniversary with them?¡±
¡°I can exin this!¡± Meng Lang was very lively. He immediately raised his hand and said enthusiastically, ¡°Feng Jia was looking for Lu Shen, but Lu Shen was with us and came here, so he followed him here.¡±
So that was it.
Gu Chu sat down at an empty seat by the Mahjong table. She didn¡¯t know if it was Lu Shen or Feng Jia¡¯s seat, but it didn¡¯t matter. She looked at the tiles and yed a tile. ¡°How do you n to celebrate?¡±
Meng Lang said firmly, ¡°We are nning to celebrate in the mountains. We want to relive our hiking experience from a year ago!¡±
¡°Boring.¡± Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°Besides, it rainedst night, and the mountain road is still slippery now.¡±
¡°The weather forecast says that it will be sunny today and tomorrow. We¡¯ll stay in tonight and hike tomorrow morning. The mountain road will be dry then,¡± Meng Lang said excitedly.
Gu Chu thought about it and agreed. She still didn¡¯t know when the fish would take the bait, so she should create more opportunities.
Lu Shen sat at thest seat. It was obvious that Gu Chu¡¯s seat was Feng Jia¡¯s, and he stood behind her.
When it was Lu Shen¡¯s turn, he asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask Lin Yin toe along?¡±
Gu Chu was about to say something, but Meng Lang beat him to it. ¡°I did. Birdie wants to practice her choreography, so she can¡¯te.¡±
Gu Chu nced at him. ¡°Why did you say her nickname? Aren¡¯t you afraid that she¡¯ll beat you up? !¡±
¡°Hey, speaking of nicknames, do you guys know Chuchu¡¯s nickname?¡± Lu Shen interrupted.
Everyone looked at him curiously. They had known each other for so many years, but they really didn¡¯t know. Even Feng Jia looked over curiously.
At this moment, Gu Chu?yed a tile and shouted, ¡°I win!¡±
Then, she spread her hand in front of Lu Shen. ¡°Lu Shen, give me your courtyard!¡±
Lu Shen could not help butugh. ¡°You have such a big appetite.¡±
She did not expect her own cousin to betray her and wanted to expose her nickname in public! She sneered. ¡°You can¡¯t afford it, right?¡±
Lu Shen did not continue, ¡°Do you have no ce to live? Feng Jia, quickly take her back!¡±
¡°Your courtyard is not bad. I like it too,¡± Feng Jia added indifferently.
Lu Shen: ¡°...¡±
Feng Jia patted Meng Lang on the shoulder, motioning for him to step aside. ¡°Let¡¯s y another round. If you lose this round, give up your courtyard.¡±
Lu Shen immediately stood up and waved his hand. ¡°Only a fool would want to y with the couple.¡±
Meng Lang was very happy watching the show. He said, ¡°How stingy. You don¡¯t live in your courtyard anyway. What¡¯s wrong with giving it to Chuchu?¡±
Wang Xiao was expressionless. ¡°A bet is a bet.¡±
Gu Chu had a look of disdain. ¡°Can¡¯t afford to lose. Don¡¯t tell others you¡¯re my cousin.¡±
Lu Shen: ¡°...¡±
How did he suddenly get bullied by the group?
He was annoyed and amused. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you care so much about that courtyard. Why are you so persistent today? Do you really have no ce to live?¡±
Meng Lang was also surprised. ¡°Even if your sister is back, you won¡¯t be kicked out, right?¡±
He had opened Pandora¡¯s box. Gu Chu looked at him with a fake smile. ¡°You want to lose the suite to me?¡±
Lu Shen immediately stopped it. ¡°I can¡¯t give you that courtyard of mine. I have to keep it for your future cousin-inw. How about this? I drove that Porsche here today. Don¡¯t you like it? I¡¯ll give it to you if you win this round.¡±
Gu Chu felt that it was not a loss, so she quickly said, ¡°Then you can¡¯t go back on your word.¡±
¡°I won¡¯t go back on my word, but I have one condition.¡± He stood up and gave way. ¡°Feng Jia, sit here and helped me. Chuchu, as long as you win against Feng Jia, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±
¡°You!¡± Gu Chu covered her mouth. ¡°You actually want us to kill each other?! You¡¯re cruel!¡±
He quickly shot Feng Jia a look, hinting that he should go easy on her.
¡°Yes, I am.¡± Lu Shen¡¯s attitude was calm. ¡°Feng Jia, I know what you¡¯re capable of winning. If you deliberately go easy on her, this round doesn¡¯t count!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°Tsk!¡±
Her n to cheat failed.
Feng Jia said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s shuffle the tiles.¡±
In fact, they were all willing to dote on Gu Chu, so the other two went easy on her.
However, Feng Jia was the only one who refused to relent. He yed so seriously and didn¡¯t seem like he would lose.
Meng Lang smiled bitterly. ¡°Feng Jia is so smart. I¡¯ve never won against him.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t expect Feng Jia to be so serious. She didn¡¯t even stand a chance of winning.
She was really angry!

Since he didn¡¯t want to let her win, Gu Chu raised her foot under the table and secretly kicked his calf.
He ignored her, and she became even angrier. She raised her leg a little higher and kicked his knee.
Feng Jia put his hand down subtly and he grabbed her ankle.
He felt the soft skin in his hand and the scene fromst night began to sh in his mind. Yesterday, he held her ankle and forced her to look at herself in the mirror.
Seeing that he had fallen into her trap, Gu Chu deliberately moved forward a little and stepped on his chair.
A pair of round almond-shaped eyes looked at him, as if saying, ¡°Will you let me win?¡±
Feng Jia leaned forward a little and Gu Chu did the same. The sole of her foot touched an indescribable ce.
He gave her a warning look, then picked up the ss of water at the side and took a sip.
Seeing that he still did not want to let her win, she was a little annoyed, and she increased the pressure of her foot.
Feng Jia immediately tightened his fingers and fiercely grabbed her ankle. Gu Chu felt a slight pain, and she could not help but take a deep breath. Meng Lang, who was beside her, turned his head and asked curiously, ¡°Chuchu, what¡¯s wrong?¡±
Gu Chu endured it and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. ¡°Feng Jia, please let me win¡¡±
Feng Jia looked at her.
¡°Ew!¡± Lu Shen took a deep breath. ¡°I don¡¯t want to y anymore. You can have the car.¡±
He felt a little awkward hearing the way his cousin called Feng Jia. Therefore, he decided to lose the money to ease the awkwardness.
Just then, the food delivery man arrived. Meng Lang pushed away the tiles. ¡°We are done. Let¡¯s go to the backyard and have a barbecue!¡±
Wang Xiao stood up as well. Only Gu Chu and Feng Jia were left on the table. Lu Shen took a few steps and looked back. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you guysing?¡±
Gu Chu immediately withdrew her ankle from Feng Jia¡¯s grip. She withdrew it too quickly and the table shook. ¡°Coming.¡±
Feng Jia lowered his head and looked at the bulging area. He slowly finished the water in his cup.
After Gu Chu went out, she quickened her steps. Feng Jia¡¯s nce just now seemed a little scary.
Did she flirt too much?
She turned around a corridor and saw Lu Shen.
She opened her mouth to call him, but before she could say it, her waist was grabbed. Someone covered her mouth and dragged her into a room.
Gu Chu suddenly felt the world spinning. Her back was pressed against the door frame as her screams were muffled.
He looked up. It was Feng Jia?
He gave her a rough kiss. Gu Chu subconsciously wanted to push him away. Feng Jia grabbed her hands and held them on the sides.
Gu Chu let out a muffled groan. Feng Jia said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Finish it.¡±
¡°No!¡± Gu Chu red at him. ¡°We are going for the barbecue.¡±
He said, ¡°Use your hands! Hurry up!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Bastard!
After they were done, Feng Jia went to the backyard while Gu Chu went into the bathroom, blushing. She used hand sanitizer and rubbed her hands together several times.
It wasn¡¯t that she found it dirty, but the hot touch just now couldn¡¯t be washed away no matter how hard she tried.
Gu Chu dawdled for a while before going to the backyard. At this time, they had already roasted a te of food. Lu Shen called out to her, ¡°Your grilled eel is getting cold. Hurry up and eat it. Feng Jia barbecued it especially for you.¡±
Gu Chu subconsciously nced at Feng Jia.
This bastar looked neat. It waspletely impossible to tell what they had done just now.
He was really shameless.
Gu Chu subconsciously rubbed her fingers, thinking that she was here with a n, not to please a man.
However, the bastard¡¯s barbecuing skills were not bad. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Her appetite had not been very good these past few days. This time, it was to her liking, so she ate a few more pieces.
Meng Lang held a te of grilled wings and handed it to her. ¡°Chuchu, try this. I barbecued them. It¡¯s absolutely delicious.¡±
Gu Chu looked at the charred exterior with some disgust, but under his urging, she still took a bite. The smell of charcoal filled her mouth, and she almost vomited.
Gu Chu looked at him sincerely. ¡°You¡¯d better give it to Wang Xiao. Only he can ept it.¡±
Meng Lang held his injured little heart and carried the te to Wang Xiao to seekfort.
Lu Shen asked Feng Jian while he was grilling, ¡°I heard from Chuchu that my uncle¡¯s family went to your grandfather¡¯s ce for dinnerst night?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°I heard that they even mentioned changing the engagement?¡±
Feng Jia nced at Gu Chu, who was bickering with Meng Lang, and asked Lu Shen, ¡°Did Chuchu say that too?¡±
¡°I am just guessing,¡± Lu Shen replied.

Chapter 39: Again

Lu Shen paused for a moment, then he said, ¡°I heard from my mother that my aunt has this intention. She¡¯s hinted to her more than once. I think that since she¡¯s already gone to your house, she¡¯ll definitely ask. What about you? What do you think?¡±
Mrs. Gu wanted to gain the support of Lu Shen¡¯s mother.
Lu Shen¡¯s mother was Mr. Gu¡¯s only sister, and the Lu family was a major shareholder of the Gu Corporation. Getting Lu Shen¡¯s mother to stand on her side would also help her change the engagement.
Mrs. Gu was really scheming to fulfill her eldest daughter¡¯s wish.
However, Gu Chu should not have known at the beginning. If she had known, she would not be so calm.
Feng Jia collected his thoughts and said calmly, ¡°I rejected it.¡±
Lu Shen was stunned. ¡°You rejected it directly?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°Yes.¡±
Lu Shen asked again, ¡°Your parents areing back to the country, and your second and third brothers will be back as well. What positions will they hold?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°We haven¡¯t discussed it yet.¡±
Lu Shen shook his head. ¡°Your second brother is fine, but your third brother is a little difficult to deal with.¡±
After all, his third brother was Mrs. Feng¡¯s biological son. Mrs. Feng would definitely fight for more benefits for her own son.
Feng Jia smiled faintly. ¡°That might not be the case.¡±
Lu Shen did not understand and was about to ask when Wang Xiao suddenly said, ¡°As long as Gu Chu is still the Gu family¡¯s daughter, even if she is not as good as her sister in the eyes of her parents, she is still a member of the Gu family. Therefore, Feng Jia will not offend the Gu family if he marries her.¡±
He was right. Lu Shen smiled deeply. He doted on Gu Chu and he hoped that Feng Jia and Chuchu would eventually get married.
In fact, he was not the only one who doted on Chuchu. Even a tough guy like Wang Xiao doted on her as well. Usually, he hated the scheming in the family. Now, he was willing to think about it for Chuchu.
Gu Chu sat on a small stool, bickering with Meng Lang as she ate the food. Suddenly, she felt three gazes fall on her. She raised her head and asked in puzzlement, ¡°The three of you, why are you looking at me?¡±
¡°I¡¯m looking at you eating happily.¡±
Oh. Even though she was not the one who barbecued them, she was eating them happily.
There were quite a lot of activities in the resort. In the afternoon, they went to ride horses and shoot arrows.
It was not until dusk when they slowly rode back. Meng Lang suddenly leaned over and said, ¡°We¡¯re going to the theater tonight. I¡¯ve hired a troupe.¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°No.¡±
¡°Why?¡±
¡°I¡¯m toozy to go. I¡¯m tired. I want to go back and sleep.¡±
Gu Chu had been out the whole day. She was covered in sweat and felt sticky. She rode the horse to the stable and handed it to the caretaker. Then, she went back to her room to remove her makeup and take a shower.
Sdid not know if Feng Jia had gone.
He should have gone.
Shey in the bathtub and not long after the bathroom door was opened.
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Shouldn¡¯t he have gone to the theater? Why did hee back so early?
Gu Chu asked, ¡°You didn¡¯t go to the theater?¡±
¡°The theater wasn¡¯t as good as you.¡± He started to take off his clothes.
Gu Chu swallowed hard. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°You.¡±
¡°...¡±
She had really flirted too much this morning. He had probably held it in for the whole day.
Before she could react, he had already entered the bathtub. Suddenly, the water in the bathtub started to overflow.
Gu Chu felt goosebumps all over her back. She said somewhat helplessly, ¡°CEO Feng, indulging in lust is not good.¡±
They had just done itst night, and she had helped him with her hands this morning.
He shouldn¡¯t be so greedy, right?
He was indeed quite greedy. As soon as he sat down, he kissed her passionately on the back of her neck.
Then, he reached out to her chest and began to misbehave.
The back of Gu Chu¡¯s neck tingled. She wanted to hide it, but he locked her waist with his hand, and his hand gradually reached down.
Gu Chu¡¯s toes subconsciously tightened. Her body went limp and she fell onto his body.
Water sshed in all directions. Her hands clung tightly to the edge of the bathtub. She felt like she was about to be knocked out.
A moan escaped from her mouth. She hugged his neck and said intermittently, ¡°Go¡ go to the bed.¡±
The bathtub was slippery. It was slippery everywhere. She clung tightly to his body so that she would not fall.
¡°Hold on a little longer.¡± He did not agree.
Hold on? She was about to faint when she was carried to the bed.
In a daze, she wanted to hug the pillow. Suddenly, a pillow was ced under her lower body, and he was on top of her again.
Gu Chu was stunned.
Again?

Chapter 40: The Fish had Taken the Bait
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
If she wanted to see the sunrise, she had to set off at four o¡¯clock. She also had to put on her clothes and wash her eyes. When Gu Chu was woken up by the rm clock, she felt as if she had just closed her eyes.
Feng Jia was already putting on his clothes. When he saw that she had woken up, he said, ¡°You have twenty minutes to wash up. I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs.¡±
Gu Chu stood up and began to question her life choices. She was supposed to use this opportunity to bait Gu Wan, but she herself was baited.
After being in a daze for a few minutes, she struggled to get out of bed. Why did she agree to do this?
After Gu Chu washed up, she went downstairs.
The others were already waiting. Gu Chu nced around and found that there was a girl in the crowd.
The girl was leaning against Meng Lang. When she saw hering down, a hint of vignce shed in her eyes. She hugged Meng Lang¡¯s arm even tighter, as if she was afraid that she would snatch Meng Lang away from him.
Meng Lang smiled and said to Guchu, ¡°Chuchu, let me introduce you. This is a coincidence.¡±
Oh, looks like the showst night was pretty good. There was even another girl.
Gu Chu nodded casually and stood beside Feng Jia. He carried a backpack and looked at her. ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯t be able to get up.¡±
Gu Chu chuckled.
After the car arrived, Gu Chu was the first to get in. She sat next to the driver and closed her eyes, intending to catch up on some sleep.
This resort was built next to the mountain. They had climbed the mountain oncest year, so they were more familiar with the terrain here. It wasn¡¯t as strenuous asst time. It was just that Gu Chu had been really tormented these two days, so she walked with some difficulty.
There was difort especially between her legs.
Gu Chu gritted her teeth and red at Feng Jia with hatred.
At this moment, Meng Lang came over to hold her hand and said, ¡°Chuchu,e and take a look at this!¡±
Gu Chu took a deep breath and said in annoyance, ¡°If you have something to say, say it. Don¡¯t grab me.¡±
¡°Come over and take a look!¡±
What was he looking at?
Gu Chu focused and looked. Then, she saw a bronze square sign in the grass not far away. Meng Lang pushed the grass aside and pointed at the words on it, he said excitedly, ¡°The spot where Chuchu twisted her ankle.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
It was the ce where she twisted her ankle a year ago!
She wanted to p his head with her backhand. ¡°Are you crazy?¡±
Meng Lang suggested hiking just to bring Gu Chu to see this!
He tilted his head and avoided her hand, thenughed out loud. ¡°Hahaha! This bronze sign must stay here! It will be passed down to future generations to admire!¡±
¡°Then, after a few hundred years, some archaeologists would find this. They would be curious about the person named Gu Chu. Who is she? Why did she put up a sign when she twisted her ankle? Then, after a careful investigation they would discover that she¡¯s the most popr girl in Haicheng City!¡±
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t help butugh.
The corner of Feng Jia¡¯s mouth also curled up.
Lu Shen found it funny. ¡°Meng Lang, you¡¯re always toying with death!¡±
Meng Lang took out his phone and held it up. ¡°Chuchu,e, take a photo with your sign!¡±
Gu Chu was amused. She went straight for his phone. The two of them chased each other while Meng Lang used Wang Xiao as a shield. Gu Chu almost missed her footing again. Fortunately, Feng Jia caught her quickly, she said in a low voice, ¡°Stop fooling around. Be careful not to twist your ankle again.¡±
Gu Chu happened to be standing next to the sign. Meng Lang immediately took a picture of Gu Chu and Feng Jia together.
Gu Chu saw this and was about to scold him, but unexpectedly, a probing voice came from the grass behind her, ¡°Chuchu?¡±
It was a very familiar voice.
Gu Chu turned and saw a person walking out from the grass, a hint of surprise shed across her face. ¡°I thought I heard wrong just now. So it really is you! Mr. Feng is also here. Are you also here to climb the mountain? I can¡¯t believe I ran into you here by chance! What a coincidence!¡±
The smile on Gu Chu¡¯s face instantly disappeared.
Gu Wan, she really came!
Was this an ordinary coincidence or something else? The sisters must have told her!
Gu Chu looked behind Gu Wan and indeed saw two people. She recognized them. They were the sisters.
She snorted in her heart. Did her n seed?
There was a deeper meaning behind her eyes. ¡°Yes, we¡¯re also here to climb the mountain. Who are the two people behind you? Aren¡¯t you going to introduce them?¡±
Gu Wan felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at her. She suddenly felt as if her thoughts had been exposed.
Chapter 41 - Where was He Looking At?
Chapter 41: Where was He Looking At?
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Gu Wan looked up again and introduced the people behind her, ¡°They¡¯re my friends, Jiang Qing and Wang Yun. We¡¯re here to hike.¡±
Then, her eyes fell on Lu Shen and asked, ¡°You¡¯re Lu Shen, right?¡±
Lu Shen nodded, ¡°Hello, Gu Wan.¡±
Then, he introduced them to her, ¡°You already know Feng Jia. This is Meng Lang and this is Wang Xiao. Just call them by their names.¡±
Gu Wan nodded at Meng Lang and Wang Xiao demurely. Wang Xiao did not respond, but Meng Lang sized her up a few times. In the end, he still felt that between the two sisters, Gu Chu was clearly better looking.
Qiao Qiao, who was beside him, looked at Gu Wan with a puzzled expression.
Gu Wan did not notice her. She asked Lu Shen, ¡°Can we go down the mountain with you guys? It¡¯s our first time here, so we don¡¯t know the way. We¡¯re afraid that we might get lost.¡±
Lu Shen had no reason to refuse, so he replied, ¡°Sure.¡±
Thus, it became a group of nine.
Jiang Qing and Wang Yun looked at Lu Shen and the others on the left and Gu Chu on the right. Then, they started whispering to each other. No one knew what they were talking about.
Gu Chu pretended that she did not see anything, but then she thought about why they did not look at Feng Jia. Could it be that he was the man that Gu Wan had taken a fancy to.
She really did not expect them to be virtuous.
Lu Shen saw that Gu Chu had not said anything, so he asked, ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±
Gu Chu looked up. This mountain had not been developed, so it was in its most primitive form. It had rained the day before yesterday, and the ground was still wet and slippery, so it was somewhat difficult to climb up.
She stepped onto a steep slope and asked, ¡°Will this mountain be developed in the future?¡±
Lu Shen replied, ¡°Not too much. At most, they will build a road.¡¯
¡°So¡¡± Gu Chu asked again, ¡°Who has the right to develop it?¡±
Lu Shen pointed at Feng Jia and said, ¡°Your man.¡±
Gu Chu subconsciously looked at Feng Jia. He happened to look at her and met her eyes as if to say, ???????? right, I¡¯m the master.¡±
Gu Chu looked away and continued to climb the mountain.
Lu Shen had always been a considerate person. Since he knew that Gu Wan was his cousin, he could not be cold to her. Therefore, after he climbed up a steep slope, he reached out and pulled her up as well. He also started a conversation, ¡°Why did you guyse here to hike?¡±
Gu Wan said softly, ¡°We find it tiring to climb a mountain that is too high. We don¡¯t want to go if it¡¯s too far or there are too many people. After thinking about it, this mountain is more suitable.¡±
¡°When did you guyse?¡±
Gu Wan replied, ¡°We arrived at the vist night.¡±
When Meng Lang heard that, he interrupted, ¡°What a coincidence. We also stayed at the vist night. It¡¯s in thest row.¡±
The sisters did not have the chance to speak. Wang Yun said cleverly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it not open to the public? We wanted to go and take a look, but the manager said that it¡¯s only open to VIP customers.¡±
Meng Langughed loudly. ¡°We are.¡±
Wang Yun¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration. ¡°I see, you guys are amazing.¡±
As a man, Meng Lang was quite taken in by this. He slowed down a little and said to her, ¡°You want to go and take a look? I¡¯ll bring you thereter.¡¯
Wang Yun immediately agreed. ¡°Sure, thank you.¡±
Gu Chu suddenly turned around and gave Wang Yun a look.
That look was not threatening, but for some reason, Wang Yun was frightened. She wanted to say a few more words to Meng Lang, but it was stuck in her throat.
Gu Chu retracted her gaze and continued to climb up.
Lu Shen said gently, ¡°Next time you want to go, just say Chu Chu¡¯s or my name.¡±
His words were directed at Gu Wan.
Gu Wan looked at Gu Chu who was walking in front, her high ponytail swaying from side to side.
¡°Okay,¡± She replied.
They reached a rtively steep mountain path. Wang Xiao walked at the front. Because he had undergone special training, he climbed up very quickly and then turned around to pull the others up.
Feng Jia did not need the help. He took a big step and went up. He turned around to pull Gu Chu, but did not let go immediately. Instead, he said, ¡°If you¡¯re not feeling well, don¡¯t force your way up. I¡¯ll send you down the mountain.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t immediately understand what he meant.
Until his eyes moved down andnded between her legs.
Gu Chu:¡±?¡±
Her face suddenly turned red. This bastard actually looked at her openly in broad daylight? !
He was shameless, but she wasn¡¯t!
Chapter 42 - Gu Wan Came Prepared
Chapter 42: Gu Wan Came Prepared
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
Wang Xiao, who was beside her, also looked over.
Gu Chu¡¯s face turned even redder. Even the tip of her ears were red. She cursed Feng Jia in her heart.
Last night, when she said she didn¡¯t want it, he didn¡¯t care. Now, he was so untimely and ¡°concerned¡± about her.
Did their personalities crash?
Gu Chu was a little annoyed. ¡°Who said so? I¡¯m not sick, I¡¯m fine!¡±
Then, she shook off his hand and took the lead.
Feng Jia looked at her back. He had meant well, but she didn¡¯t seem to appreciate it at all, so he just let it go.
Gu Wan and Qiao Qiao were thest two. Wang Xiao pulled Qiao Qiao, and Feng Jia pulled Gu Wan up the steep slope.
Gu Wan shyly thanked him, and Feng Jia nodded.
The others might not have noticed the small episode between Gu Chu and Feng Jia, but Gu Wan noticed the red spots on the back of Gu Chu¡¯s neck. Gu Wan¡¯s feet trampled over the young grass.
They were still one-third of the way to the top of the mountain. Gu Wan was still rtively quiet, but the sisters were quite active.
Wang Yun managed to strike up a conversation with Meng Lang, and Jiang
Qing did not want to be outdone and went to look for Lu Shen. Although Lu Shen looked gentle on the surface, he was very cold. She did not manage to strike up a conversation with him and went to look for Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao ignored her.
In the end, Jiang Qing had no choice but to go and seduce Meng Lang. She ignored the warning in Wang Yun¡¯s eyes and ttered Meng Lang in an even more pretentious tone. Meng Lang immediately warmed up to her.
The two sisters were going all out.
However, they had obviously overlooked the first coincidence.
Along the way, it was as if there were three women in a y. They were going back and forth relentlessly.
Gu Chu took out her phone and pretended like she was taking a picture of the scenery. In fact, she had taken a picture of Gu Wan and the pair of sisters and sent it to Ms. Lin.
After all, the fish had taken the bait. They should also consider whether to steam or braise them.
At this moment, Lin Yin had not woken up yet, so she did not reply.
They figured it was almost time. When they reached the top of the mountain, they just happened to wee the first ray of morning light.
One could never get tired of seeing the sunrise. Even if they saw it many times, they would still find it breathtaking and spectacr.
At this moment, everyone cheered and jumped in joy, and took photos.
On the other hand, Feng Jia and Wang Xiao were very quiet. They were enjoying the view.
Gu Chu also took out her phone and took a few photos. She chose a photo and posted it on her moments with the caption, ¡°Sunrise¡±. Then, she put away the phone and leaned against a big rock, her head drooping.
Perhaps she was tired, she looked like she was not in the mood to be there.
The air on the mountain was very fresh. They did not want to go down so soon. Gu Wan took out chocte and beef jerky from her backpack and distributed them to everyone.
Lu Shen took the beef jerl$,¡¯ and said, ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful. We only brought water.¡±
Gu Wan looked a little embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯ve been hiking and camping before, so
I¡¯m used to bringing these in case I need them.¡±
She walked to Wang Xiao and gave him the beef jerky. He took it and nodded his head in thanks.
Meng Lang received the chocte and said cheerfully, ¡®You look so gentle, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so sporty. Why don¡¯t I add you on Wechat? We can hang out in the future.¡±
Gu Wan replied with a smile, ¡°Sure.¡±
Then, they added each other on Wechat.
After that, she asked Wang Xiao, ¡°Can I add you?¡±
Since she had already asked, Wang Xiao was too embarrassed to refuse and epted it. Wang Yun and Jiang Qing also added them on Wechat when they saw this.
Gu Wan took the phone and turned to Lu Shen, but he said gently, ¡°I was in a hurry when I went out this morning and didn¡¯t bring my phone. Chuchu, you can send mine to your sisterter.¡±
Gu Chu looked up at Gu Wan¡¯s bag. It was bulging. It was definitely more than food for three to five people. It was obvious that she hade prepared.
She curled her lips and asked with a smile, ¡°You brought so many things?¡±
Gu Wan put away her phone and replied, ¡°1¡¯m a little paranoid. It¡¯s always good to prepare more.¡±
Gu Chu just looked at her quietly and did not say anything.
Gu Wan took the chocte awkwardly and came to Feng Jia. ¡°Mr. Feng, do you want to eat some too?¡±
Feng Jia nced at it and rejected, ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, thank you.¡±
Gu Chu shouted from the side, ¡°He doesn¡¯t want it, then give it to me!¡±
She was still leaning against a rock and her voice soundedzy. Not far away, there was a row of wildflowers blooming behind her.
Gu Wan recalled what Meng Lang had just said. A flower from Haicheng City¡
Chapter 43 - Gu Wan’s Plan
Chapter 43 Gu Wan¡¯s n
Gu Wan pursed her lips and handed the chocte to her.
Gu Chu opened the package and ate it immediately, ¡°Thanks for being so considerate. I didn¡¯t eat anything in the morning, I¡¯m really hungry now.¡±
Gu Wan pursed her lips. ¡°If it¡¯s not enough, I have more here.¡±
Gu Chu nced at the package. She had tried this brand of chocte before, so she didn¡¯t find it too bad.
It was eight o¡¯clock. Everyone had seen enough of the sunrise, so they decided to go down the mountain.
It was different from when they went up the mountain. This time, Gu Chu was at the back. Every step she took was firm, as if she was afraid that she would fall.
After all, it was easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down.
Halfway down the mountain, she heard a woman exim. The people in front of her all went towards the voice.
Gu Chu also looked over curiously. It was Gu Wan. She was leaning against a tree and biting her lower lip. She looked like she was in unbearable pain.
The first person to ask was Lu Shen. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gu Wan¡¯s voice was a little shaky. ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. I just missed a step. Luckily, I didn¡¯t fall.¡±
Lu Shen leaned over to look at her foot. He only touched it gently and she hissed in pain.
¡°She must have sprained her ankle.¡±
Meng Lang put his hands on his waist and said loudly, ¡°Is this mountain poisonous? Thest time we came here, Chuchu also sprained her foot. At that time, Feng Jia carried her down the mountain.¡±
Gu Chu looked at her coldly and did not say anything
Lu Shen frowned and asked Gu Wan, ¡°You can¡¯t walk like this, right?¡±.
Gu Wan shook her head and said in determination, ¡°I should still be able to walk¡¡±
However, she had just taken a step when she suddenly retracted her foot. The moment the tip of her foot touched the ground, a pained expression appeared on her face.
Wang Yun rolled her eyes. ¡°Gu Wan, you can¡¯t walk like this. You might hurt yourself even more.¡±
Although the two sisters were not happy, they did not forget their agreement with Gu Wan, Jiang Qing chimed in, ¡°Yes, Gu Wan, let someone carry you down the mountain. CEO Feng, Meng Lang said that you had carried someone down the mountain before. I wonder if you can help carry Gu Wan again?¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. What a fine n.
However, they had miscalcted Feng Jia.
He had never been a person who cared about others. Moreover, there were so many men who could carry Gu Wan down the mountain. He was not the only one. He did not even take a step forward and rejected her directly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea.¡±
She was intimidated by his coldness, so Wang Yun asked awkwardly, ¡°Why? This is not the ancient times, where men and women cannot touch each other. Moreover, this is a special situation. CEO Feng, please help her.¡±
Jiang Qing added, ¡°Yes. For the sake of the rtionship between the Feng and Gu families, why don¡¯t you carry Gu Wan?¡±
Feng Jia acted as if he didn¡¯t hear her and didn¡¯t have any reaction.
Wang Yun continued to call out, ¡°CEO Feng¡¡±
Lu Shen cleared his throat and interjected. He bent down and said, ¡°Gu Wan,e, I¡¯ll carry
you.¡±
Lu Shen was Gu Wan¡¯s cousin. It was more appropriate for him to do it rather than Feng Jia, her brother-inw.
It was unreasonable for them to ask Feng Jia to carry Gu Wan.
Gu Chu looked at this scene coldly. The corners of her mouth curled up. She felt a little embarrassed for Gu Wan.
This scene was probably nned in advance. Unfortunately, they did not expect their cousin to be there.
Their ns could not keep up with the changes, and they did not know how to react ordingly.
They were really too stupid.
Gu Wan said with a choked voice, ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble you. I¡¯m a little heavy, and I¡¯ll tire you out.¡±
Lu Shen replied, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I might be thin, but I still have the strength.¡±
At this point, she could not refuse. She climbed onto Lu Shen¡¯s back and said, ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡±
The show was over. Gu Chu looked away and looked at Feng Jia. ¡°You carry me down the mountain.¡±
Everyone turned around to look at her.
They were all puzzled. She had not sprained her ankle, so why did she need someone to carry her?
However, when they thought of Gu Chu¡¯s arrogance, they wondered if she wanted someone to carry her because Gu Wan had one?
If that was really the case, then she was really arrogant.
Gu Wany on Lu Shen¡¯s back and asked softly, ¡°Chuchu, did you hurt your ankle too?¡±
Chapter 44 - Fever
Chapter 44 Fever
Gu Chu sneered in her heart.
Who was she mocking?
She did not want to waste any more time with Gu Wan. She pinched the space between her eyebrows and looked at Feng Jia. Her voice was a little weak. ¡°I think I have a fever. I feel dizzy.¡±
It was only then that everyone noticed that Gu Chu was not wearing any makeup, but her face was strangely red as if she was blushing. She did not look very energetic either.
No wonder she did not speak the entire way. She was actually tired.
Feng Jia walked up to her and touched her forehead. It was very hot. ¡°You do have a fever. When did it start? Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡±
It was probably when she woke up in the morning. When she had just taken the photo and leaned against the rock, she felt a little dizzy. She thought that she could hold on until the foot of the mountain, but she couldn¡¯t any longer.
She grunted and said what Gu Wan had just said, ¡°Is it because I¡¯m heavy and it¡¯s inconvenient for you to carry me? Besides, my feet are fine, so I can walk down the mountain slowly.¡±
Gu Wan: ¡°¡¡±
Her face turned green and purple.
Feng Jia was not in the mood to joke with her. This little vixen had been feeling unwell since she had gone up the mountain. Only now did she mention it.
He pulled Gu Chu onto his back.
Lu Shen frowned even more. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry down the mountain. Wang Xiao, get someone to inform the doctor to wait at the vi. Prepare the fever medicine and the ointment for the sprain.¡±
Wang Xiao acknowledged it.
He and Meng Lang each held Gu Chu and Gu Wan respectively, and the otherthree girls walked at the back, taking care of each other.
Ever since Gu Chu got on Feng Jia¡¯s back, her head felt like a balloon that had been blown up. It swelled and shrank, and she felt ufortable.
She buried her head into his neck, trying to tease him to ease her headache. ¡°Feng Jia, your back is sofortable. Can you sing a song for me?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s footsteps were steady, and her breathing was a little hurried. ¡°You have a fever, you¡¯re not insane.¡±
Gu Chu was instantly furious. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to coax her seeing her like this?
She lowered her eyes and looked at his ear. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Ignoring Wang Xiao beside her, she bit him.
His ear was a more sensitive part of his body. Being bitten by her wet lips, he immediately stopped in his tracks. He endured it for a while and said coldly, ¡°If you continue to cause trouble, I won¡¯t carry you anymore. You can walk down on your own!¡±
Gu Chu was reluctant. She hooked her arms around his neck, as if she was afraid that he would throw her down and said, ¡°Who insisted on being in the bathtub yesterday? I already said that I couldn¡¯t take it anymore. It¡¯s easy for me to catch a cold. Now that I¡¯ve caught a cold, you want to abandon me! You scum!¡±
Wang Xiao: ¡°¡¡±
Why don¡¯t I switch ces with Meng Lang and help Gu Wan instead?
¡°You can¡¯t even sing for me now. You weren¡¯t like this when we were doing it. You kept calling me baby!¡± Gu Chu continued to vent.
She knew that Wang Xiao never gossiped.
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows and threatened her, ¡°If you keep talking, I¡¯ll throw you into the ditch and let you see what a real jerk is!¡±
Gu Chu finally behaved herself. She buried her head in his neck again, gritting her teeth in a low voice.
Although it was already autumn, climbing a mountain was an extremely draining activity. They were all sweating.
Feng Jia was also sweating. She reached out to scratch his chin and wiped the sweat off him. She called out to him, ¡°Feng Jia.¡±
He ignored her.
She called out again, ¡°Feng Jia.¡±
¡°Behave yourself.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°Why don¡¯t you build a zipline? The next time we want to see the sunrise, we won¡¯t even have to walk up the mountain.¡±
Feng Jia ignored her again.
Gu Chu snorted and fell asleep on his shoulder.
In the wind, she heard a soft hum.
An hourter, they finally went down the mountain.
The car was waiting at the foot of the mountain. Lu Shen ced Gu Wan on the seat and positioned her foot. He immediately turned around to look at Gu Chu.
He helped Feng Jia put Gu Chu down. Even though there were a fewyers of clothes between them, he could still feel the heat on her body.
Meng Lang could not hide his worry anymore. He touched her forehead and her face. ¡°Did Chuchu pass out? Oh god, should we send her to the hospital?¡±
Feng Jia said in a low voice, ¡°Let the doctor in the vi take a look first. If it doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll send her to the hospital.¡±
The vi was more than an hour¡¯s drive away from the hospital. It was a weekend, and it was easy to get stuck in traffic. With this dy, who knew what time it would be when they reached the hospital.
Feng Jia got into the car and sat beside Gu Chu. She rested her head on his shoulder.
Lu Shen took off his coat and handed it to Feng Jia, afraid that the wind would get stronger.
Feng Jia took it and covered Gu Chu.
Chapter 45 - Gu Wan the Pretentious Bitch
Chapter 45 Gu Wan the Pretentious Bitch
There were four rows of seats in the car. Gu Wan sat behind Gu Chu. When she saw the group of people worrying about Gu Wan, she lowered her eyes to hide the disdain in her eyes.
When they reached the vi, Feng Jia carried Gu Chu out of the car. The doctor was already waiting in the living room.
The doctor took Gu Chu¡¯s temperature and checked her pulse. He said, ¡°It¡¯s just amon cold. It¡¯s not a big problem. She¡¯ll be fine after taking the fever medicine.¡±
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Feng Jia reminded him, ¡°She¡¯s allergic to amoxicillin.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± The doctor nodded and asked, ¡°What about the one who sprained her ankle?¡±
Meng Lang patted his head. ¡°Yes, her sister sprained her ankle. We all forgot about it.¡± Her sister? When Gu Wan heard this, the hand that was rubbing her foot suddenly increased its strength and left a red mark.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, ¡°My foot is fine. It¡¯s fine as long as Chuchu is dfine.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s foot was indeed fine. The doctor applied some ointment on it.
Lu Shen asked, ¡°Does she need to go to the hospital?¡±
¡°No, she didn¡¯t hurt her bones and tendons. It¡¯s just a normal sprain. It¡¯ll recover in a while,¡± The doctor replied.
Meng Lang mumbled, ¡°I thought it was serious. It¡¯s much less serious than what Chuchu experiencedst time.¡±
He was straightforward when he spoke. To put it bluntly, he had a low EQ, so Gu Wan thought that he was implying that her injury was not serious, but she pretended that it was serious.
She looked down and said guiltily, ¡°I¡¯m the one who caused trouble for everyone. I even made my cousin carry me all the way.¡± ¡°I¡¯m your cousin. Isn¡¯t it natural for a brother to carry his sister?¡± Lu Shen nudged Meng Lang with his elbow again, his eyes filled with warning
¡°This is not apetition. If Gu Wan gets hurt, how am I going to exin it to her parents?¡±
Only then did Meng Lang react. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. You¡¯re right. It¡¯s a blessing that she¡¯s fine.¡± Wang Xiao went out to take a call. When he returned, he asked, ¡°Is Chuchu alright?¡±
Lu Shen said, ¡°He¡¯s fine.¡±
He nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first.¡±
Feng Jia looked at him. ¡°Is there something going on at home?¡±
Wang Xiao nodded.
His family background was not ordinary. If there was something going on, it was usually not a small matter. Lu Shen knew the gravity of the situation and said, ¡°Alright, you go back first. We¡¯ll be here.¡±
Wang Xiao nodded and left.
Lu Shen thought of something that he had yet to say and chased after him. ¡°Wang Xiao, let me send you off.¡±
Meng Lang was puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t know the way. Why would you need to send him off?¡±
Feng Jia pasted the fever relief patch on Gu Chu¡¯s head.
Meng Lang scratched his head. ¡°I¡¯ll go and see what they¡¯re up to!¡±
The Jiang sisters followed.
Seeing that, Qiao Qiao also followed along. Hence, everyone left. Only Feng Jia, Gu Chu, and Gu Wan were left in the living room.
Gu Chu woke up at about the same time. She was woken up by the vibration of the phone in her pocket.
She wanted to open her eyes, but the surroundings were quiet. She was about to ask what was going on, but before she could open her eyes, she heard Gu Wan call out, ¡°Mr. Feng¡¡±
How should she put this? Anyway, the voice gave her goosebumps.
She didn¡¯t open her eyes. She thought, ¡°I¡¯m not eavesdropping, I¡¯m listening openly.¡±
Gu Wan continued, ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to exin it to you. I waited until that night, but then there was an ident. Then, I wanted to say it when I went to the old mansion for dinner the day before yesterday, but I missed it again¡¡±
She spoke softly and gently. It was impossible for people to get mad after listening to that voice.
Gu Wan had never heard her speak like that before.
Well done, sister. You indeed have two faces!
Besides, do they have few opportunities to talk?
Wasn¡¯t it an opportunity when their mother brought her to Feng Jia to sign the contract? Wasn¡¯t it an opportunity when they went to have lunch with their father in the restaurant? Not to mention that time at the old mansion. Wasn¡¯t the entire night an opportunity?
Or did she mean the opportunity to be alone?
Hehe.
Gu Chu tried her best to maintain a calm expression so that they would not notice that she had actually woken up.
Compared to Gu Wan¡¯s long speech, Feng Jia¡¯s response was very short. ¡°What do you want to say?¡±
¡°Ever since I came back, the rumors have not stopped, causing trouble for both you and Chuchu. I want to say that it was not my intention. If I had known that it would be so troublesome, I would not havee back¡¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything.
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes were rolling up towards the sky.
What a pretentious bitch!
Chapter 46 - Good Performer
Chapter 46 Good Performer
Gu Wan added, ¡°I don¡¯t know why my mother suddenly wants to change the engagement. Actually, I¡¯ve never thought of taking anything from Chuchu. I¡¯ve already exined it to her, but Chuchu seems to have misunderstood me. Mr. Feng, can you help me exin?¡±
e
Gu Chu felt Feng Jia¡¯s gaze shift to her face. She controlled her expression so he couldn¡¯t see through it.
Feng Jia said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything. She won¡¯t misunderstand.¡±
Gu Wan sounded a little anxious. ¡°I won¡¯t do anything! I swear!¡±
She stammered, ¡°Mr. Feng, actually, I want you to be happy more than anyone else. As long as I can see you from afar, I¡¯ll be very happy¡¡± Gu Chu: ¡°???¡±
That¡¯s it.
The ssic quote!
¡°I¡¯ll treat you like a big brother. Your girlfriend seems to have misunderstood me.¡±
¡°As long as you¡¯re happy, it¡¯s okay for me to be misunderstood.¡±
¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re happy. I want you to be happy more than anyone else¡¡± Gu Chu¡¯s fists hardened.
She continued to inhale deeply, afraid that she would be unable to control herself and jump up to p Gu Wan!
However, Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything, and the living room was silent for a while.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t know why he didn¡¯t say anything, but she couldn¡¯t open her eyes to look at his expression. She thought to herself, would a bastard also fall for this trick?
¡°Mr. Feng?¡± Gu Wan asked uncertainly.
Finally, Feng Jia said, ¡°If that¡¯s what you want to tell me, then you¡¯re worrying too much.¡±
The corners of Gu Chu¡¯s lips curled up.
Gu Wan was stunned and almost cried, ¡°Mr. Feng¡¡±
At this moment, the staff of the vi walked in and interrupted Gu Wan, ¡°Mr. Feng, Mr. Lu has something to ask you.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Feng Jia stood up.
Gu Wan knew when to move forward and when to retreat. She did not dare to stop him from doing serious matters. She sniffed and said, ¡°Go do your work. I¡¯ll take good care of Chuchu.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°Don¡¯t touch her.¡±
Gu Wan was even more stunned. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll hurt her?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°???¡±
Her fists could not be tighter.
If Feng Jia thought she would hurt her, he definitely would not leave them in the same room.
What he meant was, he did not want to disturb her sleep!
Is this pretentious bitch always pretending to be wronged?
Feng Jia seemed to be speechless as well. Without saying anything, he followed the staff and left.
Gu Chu heard the sound of footsteps leaving, so she opened her eyes. She saw Gu Wan still staring at the direction he left in a daze, as if she really was wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes.
She couldn¡¯t take it anymore!
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Do you like Feng Jia?¡±
Gu Wan turned around and was surprised to see her awake. ¡°Chuchu, you¡¯re awake?¡±
She answered, ¡°Yes. I have been awake since you started speaking.¡±
¡°Chuchu, please don¡¯t misunderstand. I didn¡¯t mean anything by it.¡±
Gu Chu was amused. ¡°I remember that you studied business in university, right? Why do I feel like you studied performing arts instead? Otherwise, why are you so good at
it?¡±
¡°What did I do?¡± Gu Wan bit her lower lip. ¡°Chuchu, ask yourself, I¡¯ve never wronged you, but you still have enmity towards me. Why?¡±
She asked again, ¡°Could it really be as the rumors said, that you me me for taking away our parents¡¯ affection for you? So you hate me?¡±
How the tides turned. Gu Chu¡¯s face suddenly turned cold. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything? You¡¯ve been back for more than a month, haven¡¯t you done enough? Jiang Qing and Wang Yun spread rumors about the change in engagement. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?¡±
Gu Wan clenched her fingers. How did she know?
Then, a look of grievance and anger shed across her face. ¡°Do you have evidence? Why are you ndering me like this?¡±
She held it back. ¡°Chuchu, I¡¯m your sister after all. No matter how much you dislike me, you shouldn¡¯t me me for something that I didn¡¯t do!¡±
Gu Chu watched her performance quietly, then, she took out her phone and said, ¡°I¡¯m not trying to sue you. Collecting evidence is the police¡¯s business. I just need to call my parents and tell them. They will determine whether it¡¯s true or not.¡±
Seeing that she seemed to be serious, Gu Wan immediately pounced on her. ¡°No!¡±
Gu Chu quickly dodged. Even though Gu Wan¡¯s feet were injured which made her less agile, she was still capable of dodging despite the cold she was having.
As she dodged, she flipped her hand and pushed her onto the sofa.
Gu Wan looked back in a sorry state. Gu Chu sneered at her.
Chapter 47 - Give Me Back My Project
Chapter 47 Give Me Back My Project
¡°Since you think I¡¯m ndering you, why are you panicking? Besides, do you think I can say these words without any proof?¡±
Gu Chu snorted, ¡°You¡¯re not real friends with the pair of sisters right? Tell me, if I give them more money, do you think they will tell me everything?¡±
Gu Wan bit her lower lip tightly, a trace of panic shed across her face.
Since she did not speak, Gu Chu knew that she had the upper hand. ¡°Also, on the night of mom¡¯s birthday party, do you really think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking? Even if you wanted to talk to Feng Jia, you didn¡¯t have to choose such a quiet path, right? Also, you were the one who lured Aunt Lin and the others there, right?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s face turned paler every time she exposed the truth.
Gu Chu continued, ¡°If I hadn¡¯t shown up in time, there would have been a rumor that you and Feng Jia were a romantic couple. The perfect couple. But I hade in your way. What should you do then? Of course you want to kick me out, right?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s lips trembled slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not like that! You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±
She sat up and pinched her fingers tightly. ¡°These are just your malicious spections. You have no evidence at all. You¡¯re just jealous of me, jealous that I stole our parents¡¯ love!¡±
Her roar became even louder. ¡°I¡¯ve suffered a lot in the outside world for the past twenty years. Now that I¡¯ve finally returned, you don¡¯t wee me at all. Then I¡¯ll just leave!¡±
Hehe! Gu Chu sneered. ¡°Are you done?¡±
She had had enough of her prancing around like a clown.
She said, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know how you got lost back then!¡±
What? Gu Wan¡¯s pupils dted.
Did she mean that she knew?
But how did she know?
Gu Wan¡¯s eyshes fluttered rapidly. Could Gu Chu be lying to her?
Seeing her like this, Gu Chu did not have the intention to beat around the bush. ¡°You haven¡¯t been in the Gu family for so many years, so you probably don¡¯t know me. I have a good memory. I remember exactly how you got lost that day!¡±
Her tone became heavier. ¡°I also know that you ndered me and said I was the reason you got lost. I didn¡¯t expose you because we are sisters, so you¡¯d better not push me again!¡±
¡°What did you say?¡± Gu Wan asked angrily.
How old was Gu Chu when she got lost? She was only four years old! How could she remember things at four years old?
She couldn¡¯t even remember them anymore.
Gu Wan¡¯s nails were almost embedded in her palm. She must be lying to her! She questioned, ¡°How could you still remember what happened when you were so young?¡±
Gu Chu sneered. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m lying to you? You¡¯re underestimating me. Back then, you said, ¡®Chuchu, do you want to eat ice cream? I¡¯ll bring you to get some.¡¯ You even said, ¡®Chuchu, stand here and wait for me toe back.¡¯¡±
The distant memories came back, and Gu Wan¡¯s face instantly turned pale. It seemed that she had indeed said that.
She didn¡¯t miss a single word.
Gu Chu looked at her pale face with satisfaction. ¡°I remember more than just a little of what happened back then. Do I need to tell you everything?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯sst line of defense waspletely broken through. Her body shook like autumn leaves in the wind.
Gu Chu sat opposite her and slowly tidied up her sleeve that Gu Wan had wrinkled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expose you because you¡¯ve been wandering outside for so many years. But since you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you and stepped on my minefield, then don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡±
¡°Also, listen carefully! Feng Jia is my fianc¨¦. Stay away from him!¡±
After saying that, she added a threat, ¡°If you dare to pester him again, I¡¯ll tell our parents the truth about you being lost all those years ago and tear apart our fake sisterhood!¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s body was trembling and her eyes were red.
She said slowly, ¡°When that timees, forget about staying at home, even the entire Haicheng City won¡¯t have a ce for you. I mean what I said!¡±
Gu Wan was speechless.
Seeing her like this, the corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth suddenly curled up. ¡°Now that we¡¯ve made that clear, it¡¯s time for us to discuss the terms.¡±
Gu Wan looked at her in confusion. Didn¡¯t she already tell her to stay away from Feng Jia? Does she want something else?
Gu Chu looked straight into her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I am not asking you tomit murder or break thew. When you go hometer, tell dad that you can¡¯t handle the Yangxiang Project.¡±
Chapter 48 - Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 48 Unexpected Discovery
Gu Chu looked at Gu Wan with a faint smile. ¡°In this world, nothing can be gained without hard work. I¡¯ve been following up on the project all this while. What right do you have to take it? Moreover, do I look like a generous person? So, I¡¯m asking you nicely to withdraw from it.¡±
She emphasized the word ¡°nicely¡±, hoping that Gu Wan would understand. If she didn¡¯t agree, then she had nothing more to say.
So, please don¡¯t challenge her patience!
Gu Wan was panicking. Her mother had got her this project by exchanging conditions with Feng Jia in order to help her gain a foothold in the Gu Corporation. But now, Gu Chu is asking her to let go of it?
What right does she have?!
She closed her eyes. She also knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Since she agreed, there was nothing else to talk about.
Gu Chu¡¯s gaze fell on her leg. ¡°I think your leg is fine, so you can take a taxi and leave.¡±
Gu Wan bit her lower lip. She had wanted to ride on Feng Jia¡¯s car. ¡°Also,¡± Gu Chu added, ¡°Bring the two sisters with you. Although Meng Lang likes to mess around, he¡¯s not stupid. Why don¡¯t you take a look at them first before they seduce him?¡±
After Gu Wan left, Gu Chu leaned on the back of the sofa and saidzily, ¡°Who¡¯s eavesdropping? Come out!¡±
The room was silent.
She said in a low voice, ¡°Why? Do you need me to say it nicely?¡±.
A few secondster, Qiao Qiao came out with a look of embarrassment.
Initially, she wanted to go after Meng Lang, but she was a step slower and could not catch up.
Later, she went back and nned to wait for Meng Lang here.
When she returned, the atmosphere was tense.
So, she had to find a ce to hide.
She asked awkwardly, ¡°How did you know I was here?¡±
¡°I identally caught a glimpse of the corner of your clothes.¡±
Qiao Qiao: ¡°¡¡±
She was dressed extravagantly, so the hem of her clothes showed.
She said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±
Gu Chu looked at her with her deep eyes. ¡°Shut your mouth.¡±
Actually, she didn¡¯t hear much and quickly nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
Moreover, she hated the two girls who came with Gu Wan. Now that Gu Chu had helped her get rid of them, she wanted to thank her instead.
She pursed her lips. ¡°I have something to say. I don¡¯t know if I should say it.¡±
¡°What?¡± Gu Chu looked up at her. ¡°Say it.¡±
¡°Gu Wan actually twisted her ankle on purpose. I saw that she stepped into the pit and then pretended to fall into it.¡±
Gu Chu had already guessed this. This must be their n.
She let out a faint ¡°Oh.¡±
Qiao Qiao added, ¡°Actually, I think she looks a little familiar. I think I¡¯ve seen her somewhere before, but I can¡¯t remember where.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°Are you serious?¡±
She nodded. ¡°I don¡¯t have to lie to you.¡±
At first nce, she felt that Gu Wan looked familiar.
Gu Chu rolled her eyes. So it was just an act. It was quite intriguing to know that she¡¯d seen her before.
Meng Lang actually found a random woman who gave her such a big surprise. She didn¡¯t pamper him for nothing!
She took out her phone. ¡°Let¡¯s add each other on Wechat.¡± After adding her, she said, ¡°In the future, if you think of any clues, tell me. Don¡¯t worry, I will treat you well.¡±
Qiao Qiao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Okay!¡±
Just then, Feng Jia came back.
Qiao Qiao was a little afraid of him, so she quickly ran away. ¡°I¡¯ll go find Meng Lang.¡±
Gu Chu looked at him coquettishly. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. You scared Qiao Qiao away. I wanted to hear her sing.¡±
He touched her forehead and found that her fever had subsided. He handed her the medicine. ¡°Take this. I¡¯ll take you back home.¡±
Gu Chu hummed. ¡°Feed me.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°¡¡±
She¡¯s doing it again.
arILIS
After eating, she leaned forward and hooked her arms around his neck. ¡°Carry me.¡± He held her waist and carried her.
He carried her all the way to the passenger seat.
When he got into the car, she asked curiously, ¡°What did you do just now?¡±
Feng Jia started the car. ¡°Your cousin called me because of Wang Xiao.¡±
Gu Chu was even more curious. ¡°What about him?¡±
¡°He hid it from his family and applied to join the anti-terrorist special forces. He passed the tests, but his family objected.¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°I think that even if his family objected, he would still go.¡±
After all, this had always been Wang Xiao¡¯s dream.
Chapter 49 - Gu Chu’s Nickname
Chapter 49 Gu Chu¡¯s Nickname
On the way back, Gu Chu had already fallen asleep. Even when they arrived, she didn¡¯t wake up.
Feng Jia opened the door of the passenger seat, wanting to carry her out.
Actually, Gu Chu had woken up, but she hadn¡¯t opened her eyes yet. When she realized that he was carrying her, she leaned back on the seat and refused to let him carry her.
She felt a tap on her cheek. ¡°Get up.¡±
She opened her eyes in confusion.
She looked at him charmingly. The wild rose that was usually bold and willful had suddenly be a meek little sheep. She hooked her arms around his neck and said softly, ¡°Can you not choose Gu Wan?¡±
She said so softly.
Feng Jia¡¯s heart trembled. These days, rumors had been spreading in Haicheng City. It was as if they were breaking up.
SIn fact, she had never said anything like that before. She was always arrogant and acted like she didn¡¯t care what he did.
Perhaps it was because of how she was raised, or that she was spoiled by him, so she was extremely stubborn.
Now that she suddenly submitted to him, he felt blood surging in his veins. Without saying anything else, he carried her out of the car.
He walked to the door and said, ¡°Enter the password.¡±
Why didn¡¯t he answer? Gu Chu snorted and obediently entered the password.
The password was nothing special. He wasn¡¯t stupid enough to use his birthday.
It was the password he had used to buy this house.
After entering the door, Feng Jia didn¡¯t n to go further. Instead, he pushed her against the counter near the entrance.
Gu Chu: ¡°?!
Hearing the sound of his belt unbuckling, her scalp started to go numb.
He couldn¡¯t be such a beast, right? She was still sick!
¡°Feng Jia, I¡¯m tired¡¡± Her voice was trembling, and she didn¡¯t dare to look back at him.
¡°I¡¯ll move so you don¡¯t have to,¡± He said as he reached out to touch the button of her pants.
Her heart tightened, and she grabbed his hand. ¡°Wait, wait a minute.¡±
He couldn¡¯t wait any longer.
The force of her obstruction was like a mayfly trying to move a big tree. He couldn¡¯t even wait to go to the bedroom, which showed how urgent it was.
She was lifted high up, and he pushed against her.
She bit her lower lip and let out a muffled groan. Her fingers were tightly pushed against the table.
His breathing was very heavy on her face. Even the hair beside her ears was swaying slightly.
He asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°Chuchu, what is your nickname?¡±
¡°What?¡± Gu Chu¡¯s entire body quivered. Her eyes suddenly widened and a glimmer of rity shed through them.
He pushed heavily. ¡°Say it.¡±
He had yet to get over his feelings for her.
He was waiting for her.
However, she would not say it.
Seeing that she was stubborn and would not say anything, he reached out to y with her boobs. ¡°Chuchu, tell me.¡±
He did not stop moving his body, and soon, the sensation exploded.
This position was very tiring, and his waist was sore. Gu Chu was on the verge of tears. ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t have a nickname¡¡±
¡°You¡¯re not going to say it?¡± He pinched her hard. ¡°Then take this.¡±
When he said ¡®take this¡¯, he meant it literally. He was going to do it until she said it.
She could not take it anymore, and her head was still very dizzy. In the end, she could not help but say, ¡°I, I¡¯ll say it¡¡±
Her whole body was covered in sweat, and she didn¡¯t even take off her clothes. That¡¯s how urgent it was.
He kindly stopped and listened to her. ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s whole body trembled, and she curled up against his chest, she said shakily, ¡°On the day I was born, the Gu Corporation signed a billion-dor project, so Grandpa teased that I was a lucky star. He called me Gu Yi (Billionaire Gu), and that became my nickname. However, it has the same sound as the word ¡®intentional¡¯. I don¡¯t think it sounds good. My parents don¡¯t really like it either. They haven¡¯t called me that since I was seven years old¡¡±
He listened quietly.
She let out a heavy breath. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve told you everything. Let me go!¡±
Gu Yi? Heughed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so valuable.¡±
Of course, she was the flower of Haicheng City. How could she not be valuable?
At that time, she was worth 1 billion. Now, she was worth many times that.
But he would not let her off so easily. He turned over her body and held her legs up. He said to her, ¡°Hold them up properly. I won¡¯t be responsible if you fall.¡±
Did he just say that?
Bastard.
He had just taken a step when she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and held onto him tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t, I¡¯m falling¡¡±
If she had known earlier, she would have told him earlier¡
He carried her all the way to the bedroom and ced her on the bed. She flipped over and wanted to escape, but he grabbed her ankle and dragged her in front of him. ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡±
Continue? Gu Chu was about to cry.
Chapter 50 - Investigating Gu Wan
Chapter 50 Investigating Gu Wan
Traffic in Haicheng City was very bad this weekend. The vi was located in the western suburbs while the Gu residence was in the eastern suburbs. The distance between them was almost half of the entire Haicheng City. Gu Wan was sitting in a taxi and had yet to arrive home.
The driver was getting impatient and bored with being stuck in traffic. So he started chatting with his passenger, ¡°Youngdy, you live in the eastern suburbs? Are youing to work overtime this weekend?¡±
Gu Wan did not answer.
The driver continued, ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s really hard for young people nowadays. They live in the western suburbs, but work in the eastern suburbs. I wonder how much time they waste on the road¡¡±
The driver was from Haicheng City. After he retired, driving was just a way to pass time. He nced at Gu Wan and saw that she was dressed smartly and carrying a branded bag, he could not help but advise her, ¡°Young people spend too much nowadays. You have to learn how to save money. If you save more, then you¡¯ll have money for a car. Those who buy branded bags are from rich families. You don¡¯t have that¡¡±
Gu Wan: ¡°¡¡±
She doesn¡¯t have that?
Gu Wan was expressionless. She turned on her phone and scrolled through her moments.
She identally scrolled through Meng Lang¡¯s moments. He did not post a photo of the sunrise or the group photo. Instead, he posted something different.
That was a photo taken when Gu Chu and Feng Jia were standing on the spot where Gu Chu twisted her anklest time.
The caption read, ¡°Hahahaha, you guys didn¡¯t guess that I really got a sign, did you?¡±
He only posted this photo, which meant that this photo was more to his friends¡¯ liking than the photo of a sunrise or with a beautiful woman.
She did not belong to his circle of friends.
She stared at the photo and saw Gu Chu¡¯s smile. She stared at her fiercely, as if she wanted to burn her face through.
At this moment, there was a notification.
She received a text message from an unknown number.
It contained only a few words.
¡°Niannian, is this you?¡±
Niannian was a name that her adoptive parents gave her before she returned.
Wu Nian, there was only one person in the world who would still call her that.
She was stunned. It had been ten years.
When Gu Chu woke up, Feng Jia was already gone. He had probably gone to work in the study.
Her phone was vibrating. She picked it up and saw a series of messages from Lin Yin. ¡°How was it?¡±
¡°Chuchu, did you take care of Gu Wan?¡±
¡°Chuchu, call me back quickly. I want to know the results!¡±
She immediately called her back.
Lin Yin quickly picked up. ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡±
Gu Chu repliedzily, ¡°It was a one-sided massacre. She lost. I won with my own strength!¡±
Lin Yin¡¯s voice was filled with surprise. ¡°Congrattions! I guess you¡¯ll be able to rest for a while.¡±
Gu Chu lifted the nket and got off the bed to get some water. As she walked, she said, ¡°I have another unexpected gain this time. It¡¯s about her background.¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°It¡¯s Meng Lang¡¯s friend. I don¡¯t know where he met this person but she¡¯s an actress in some R-rated movies. She told me that Gu Wan looked a little familiar. She thinks she¡¯s seen her before.¡±
¡°Oh my God!¡±
¡°My parents never said where Gu Wan was found. This makes me suspect that she has a rather disgraceful past. That¡¯s why my parents are keeping their mouths shut.¡±
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yin agreed, ¡°I think you¡¯re right.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°So I want to investigate and see what¡¯s going on.¡±
Lin Yin supported her fully. ¡°Okay. She¡¯s already scheming against you, so you have to show her!¡±
Gu Chu thought the same.
Initially, she didn¡¯t care that she¡¯d returned. As long as they don¡¯t provoke each other, they can live in peace.
However, she was scheming against her.
And she was not a pushover!
If she could really get some information on Gu Wan about her past, she could at least ckmail her and make her behave, so that she would not cause trouble for her.
Lin Yin said, ¡°Gu Wan graduated from the Beijing Finance and Economics Institute. My brother has connections there, so I can help
you.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± She nodded. ¡°I also want to test my father. I feel that his willingness to change the engagement is not as strong as my mother¡¯s. Maybe he¡¯ll tell me.¡±
Lin Yin sighed. ¡°It¡¯s not easy for you now, I have to say. After Gu Wan came back, your status at home plummeted.¡±
Gu Chu was surprised that it woulde to this. It was as if her parents¡¯ love for her for the past twenty years was fake.
Chapter 51 - The Project was Mine
Chapter 51 The Project was Mine
The next day was Monday.
Perhaps because she¡¯d sweated from the vigorous activity the night before, when she woke up this morning, Feng Jia took her temperature and found that her fever had subsided.
Gu Chu returned to her usual lively self. While driving, she passed by a coffee shop.
She stopped the car and went in to buy a few cups of coffee.
¡°Director Gu, good morning,¡± Someone greeted her.
The corner of her mouth curved as she replied, ¡°Good morning.¡±
After entering the Department of Commerce, she casually ced the cups of coffee on the nearest desk and greeted everyone, ¡°I bought these on the way.¡±
They cheered and each took their favorite coffee. ¡°Thank you, director.¡±
The secretary was one of them. She had originally nned to go downstairs to buy coffee, but her superior bought it, so she didn¡¯t have to go.
She turned on theputer for Gu Chu very eagerly. ¡°Director, you seem to be in a good mood. Is it because you went out with CEO Feng on the weekend?¡±
Gu Chu heard this and asked curiously, ¡°How did you know?¡±
¡°Your Wechat moments. Didn¡¯t you post a picture of the sunrise? CEO Feng was in the picture.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Was he in the picture?
She quickly took out her phone and saw that there was only half of the back of his head in the picture.
She smiled and asked, ¡°It¡¯s only half of the back of his head. You can tell it¡¯s him?¡±
¡°Director, whose back of the head would you take? So it must be CEO Feng,¡± the secretary said confidently.
Alright, she was right. Even if she did, it would only be the back of Feng Jia¡¯s head.
She sat down and tapped on the table. The secretary immediately put down the documents in her arms.
¡°I¡¯m indeed in a good mood, but it¡¯s not just because I went out.¡± Gu Chu slowly flipped through the documents. ¡°It¡¯s also because of other things.¡±
The secretary immediately chimed in, ¡°Then what else?¡±
Gu Chu looked up at the clock. It was about 10 o¡¯clock when the office phone rang.
She smiled. ¡°Because of this.¡±
The secretary went over to take a look. It was a call from the chairman¡¯s office.
She immediately stood up and pretended not to have seen anything.
Gu Chu picked up the call. It was his father¡¯s secretary. ¡°Director Gu, the chairman wants you toe to the office.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Gu Chu agreed.
Before leaving, she said to the secretary who was standing there in a daze, ¡°The eighth article of the weekly report is wrong. Take it back and revise it.¡±
The secretary¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Director Gu looked easygoing on the surface, but in fact, she was a workaholic. She was meticulous in her work.
If she wrote the weekly report wrong, she wouldn¡¯t work for the Gu Corporation anymore.
She picked up the weekly report and flipped through it. She even thought of whichpany she would go to next.
However, she looked at the eighth article, ¡°Yangxiang Project from Wang Tai Group would be handled by Gu Wan, the Deputy Director of the Department of Commerce.¡±
Ah?!
Is it something wrong?
Gu Chu went to the chairman¡¯s office and knocked on the door three times before entering. ¡°Dad, is there something you need me for?¡±
¡°You¡¯re here.¡± He pointed at the seat across from him. ¡°Sit.¡±
Gu Chu sat down.
Mr. Gu liked to brew tea. He brewed a cup of Longjing tea today and ced it in front of Gu Chu. ¡°I bought this recently. Have a taste.¡±
¡°Okay. Thanks dad.¡± Gu Chu took a sip.
After she drank it, he slowly said, ¡°Your sister went hiking with a friend yesterday and identally sprained her ankle on the mountain. I¡¯m afraid that she won¡¯t be able to move her feet for a while. She was afraid that she would dy the progress of the Yangxiang Project, so she withdrew from it.¡±
Gu Chu nodded.
He then said, ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it. You were in charge of this project before, and no one is more suitable than you. I n to hand this project back to you, is that okay?¡±
Gu Chu knew that her father would talk to her about this, and that was also why she was in a good mood today.
However, after hearing what he said, Gu Wan did not seem to mention that she was also there, so she asked, ¡°She sprained her ankle? Was it serious?¡±
¡°It¡¯s quite serious. She was on a cast. The injury will take at least three months to recover.¡±
Gu Chu had just drunk a mouthful of tea, and she almost spat it out!
Cast?!
It was just a minor injury, why did she need a cast?
She understood now. Gu Wan did not want to lose face, so she made an excuse to step down.
Thinking of this, Gu Chuughed. Isn¡¯t she tired?
Isn¡¯t it tiring to act all day long?
However, she wouldn¡¯t see her for a long time!
This feels good!
Gu Chu tried hard to suppress the rising corners of her mouth.
Chapter 52 - Dinner with Lin Yu
Chapter 52 Dinner with Lin Yu
Gu Chu looked at her father¡¯s worried expression. ¡°Oh, why is she so careless? I hope she recovers soon. Dad, you must get someone to make some bone broth for her. As for this project, I won¡¯t let you down.¡±
Mr. Gu patted her shoulder with satisfaction. ¡°As expected of the person I raised. You¡¯re courageous and responsible. I feel at ease. You¡¯ve worked hard.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Since you know that I¡¯ve worked hard, give me a full year of bonus!¡±
Mr. Guughed out loud. ¡°Definitely. I¡¯ll give you an additional bonus.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°What bonus?¡±
¡°It¡¯s up to you!¡± Mr. Gu said generously.
This was great. It was as if things had returned to how they were. If her mother would treat her as she did before, it would be even better.
Actually, she did not want to fight with Gu Wan. They were both daughters of the Gu family. She only hoped that her parents would treat her equally.
Even if they could not be treated equally, she did not want them to just take things away from her to give to Gu Wan without considering her feelings.
She was actually quite reasonable. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said to him, ¡°Alright, you said it. I¡¯ll ask you again after I¡¯ve thought it through! You can¡¯t go back on your word!¡±
¡°Of course not. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can record it.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Gu Chu quickly took out her phone and turned on the recording. ¡°Dad, say it
again!¡±
She happily recorded and saved it.
She finally finished herst sip of tea. ¡°Dad, if there is nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to work.¡±
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to the cafeteria for lunchter.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Gu Chu agreed immediately. She also had something to ask him.
It¡¯s about Gu Wan¡¯s past.
When she returned to the Department of Commerce, the secretary immediately asked, ¡°Director, what did the chairman want to talk to you about?¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°The Yangchang Project has been handed over to me.¡±
The secretary was shocked. ¡°That¡¯s great! Your efforts are not wasted!¡±
Gu Chu was initially quite happy, but now, she could not feel happy anymore.
She almost got into an ident in Yangcheng because of this project. She did not tell her parents or anyone else about this.
Therefore, she felt that even if she could not get this project, it could not be Gu Wan¡¯s!
Because then her effort would be for nothing!
Gu Chu said to her, ¡°Give me all the documents regarding Yangchang Project.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
She¡¯s taking back all the documents she gave to Gu Wan previously.
Gu Chu began to organize her work. One of the documents was about the Sky Garden Project. She remembered that she had not invited Lin Yu¡¯s brother to dinner yet.
She took out her phone and sent him a message, ¡°Are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner.¡±
After a while, he replied, ¡°Okay, let me know when you¡¯ve reserved a ce.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± She replied.
The secretary sent over the information about the project. She asked her to book a ce at Wangjiangyue Restaurant and informed all the departments about a meeting in half an hour.
Themeeting was to exin the progress of both projects. When Gu Chu stood up to speak, Feng Corporation also received the news about the change of the person in charge of the project.
After the secretary finished reporting about work, he told Feng Jia the news.
His fingers that were tapping on the keyboard paused.
The secretary did not understand what he meant. ¡°CEO Feng, is there a problem? Do you need me tomunicate with them again?¡±
¡°No need.¡± He was just curious, why did Gu Wan return the project?
This project was personally requested by Gu Wan¡¯s mother. In order to pave the way for her, she did not hesitate to hurt Gu Chu.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Gu Chu. ¡°Do you have an appointment for lunch? Do you want to have lunch together?¡±
Before Gu Chu¡¯s meeting ended, she received a Wechat message from Feng Jia.
She quickly replied, ¡°I have an appointment. I am eating with my dad.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°What about tonight?¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°I have an appointment too.¡±
Feng jia: ¡°Are you going back to my ce?¡±
Now, when she saw this, she could not help but think of the things they did. She replied immediately, ¡°Not sure yet.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°¡¡±
So, she did not want to eat with him and did not want toe back?
Very well. Feng Jia put away his phone expressionlessly.
Gu Chu did not know that he was upset. The meeting did not end until 12:30.
She left the conference room and went straight to the cafeteria.
Chapter 53 - About Gu Wan’s Past
Chapter 53 About Gu Wan¡¯s Past
The cafeteria at Gu Corporation was quite famous. The chefs hired were all highly-trained, and all staff¡¯s meals were subsidized, so everyone was quite happy to eat in the canteen.
Moreover, they would asionally see employees from otherpanies.
They came after hearing about the cafeteria.
After she had ordered the food, she walked over to Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu picked up a piece of meat and ced it in her bowl. ¡°Chuchu, why are they all vegetarian? You¡¯re too skinny. You should eat more.¡±
Gu Chuchu smiled. ¡°Isn¡¯t there pork? I¡¯ve eaten it before when I went to Yangcheng City. I think it¡¯s not as delicious as the one here.¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you go to Rongfu Restaurant when you were in Yangcheng City? Every time I went, I would go there to eat. It¡¯s been more than ten years, and the taste hasn¡¯t changed at all,¡± Mr. Gu said.
Gu Chu answered casually, ¡°I went there to look for the CEO of Wang Tai Group. Next time when I go again, I¡¯ll definitely try it.¡±
The smile on Mr. Gu¡¯s face disappeared a little.
At the mention of Wang Tai Group, he thought of the Yangchang Project, and then he thought of Gu Chu¡¯s dedication to this project. She had neverined about going back and forth between Yangcheng and Haicheng City. However, the project was given to Gu Wan, who had done nothing. Even Mr. Gu felt sorry for her.
He said, ¡°I know that you¡¯ve been wronged. Now that the project is back in your hands, do it well.¡±
He sighed again. ¡°Your sister just came back. Your mother inevitably felt guilty, so she thought of ways to make it up to her.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I know,¡± Gu Chu said understandingly. ¡°Actually, she is new here. She has to do something to convince everyone that she¡¯s capable.¡±
She changed the topic. ¡°Since mom has such ns, she should have told me earlier. I will give the project to her. I¡¯m afraid that she will not be able to convince others.¡±
She added, ¡°If mom told me earlier, I could have brought her to Yangcheng and City and fight for the contract together. This way, even if she took the project, no one would question it.¡±
Mr. Gu knew this too. He sighed. ¡°I didn¡¯t know why your mother would go to Feng Jia on her own ord. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have let her go.¡±
Gu Chu blinked. He didn¡¯t know either?
Could it be that Gu Wan saw her going to Yangcheng City and wanted to fight for this project, so she told their mom to get it for her?
Gu Chu took some fish and ced them in her father¡¯s bowl, she suppressed her emotions and said, ¡°I thought mom would discuss everything with you. Then what condition did she propose to the Feng family? Did the Gu and Feng families exchange resources?¡±
Mr. Gu shook his head. ¡°No, it has nothing to do with the Gu family. It¡¯s your mother who promised Feng Jia that the He Family would stand by his side and help him.¡±
So that was it.
The He family was Mrs. Gu¡¯s maternal family. They were also a prestigious family in the capital.
However, even if the He family was okay with it, Feng Jia did not need their help, right?
Gu Chu did not understand the logic behind it. She did not think about it for the time being. After all, she still had more important information to ask about.
She said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat. The food is already cold. But speaking of mom¡¯s family, I remember that Gu Wan went to university in the capital, right?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Mr. Gu nodded.
¡°So she has been staying in the capital ever since she graduated? How did she find her?¡±
¡°Yes, she stayed in the capital.¡±
Gu Chu rolled her eyes. ¡°The capital is so big. How did mom find her?¡±
¡°It¡¯s her¡¡± Mr. Gu suddenly thought of something and hesitated to speak
Gu Chu was curious. ¡°What?¡±
Mr. Gu looked at her with some fear. ¡°Your mother¡¯s family has been helping to find her, so by chance, they found her.¡±
There was no additional information in that statement.
¡°Oh, that must be because grandpa and grandma are looking down from heaven. Before they died, the person they missed the most was Gu Wan. By the way, she was adopted, right? Now that she¡¯se back, did she thank her adoptive parents?¡±
Mr. Gu sighed. ¡°Her adoptive parents have passed away.¡±
Gu Chu was shocked. ¡°Both of them have passed away? Are there no other rtives in the family?¡±
Mr. Gu finally came back to his senses. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the food is cold? Let¡¯s eat.¡±
¡°I was just asking¡±She pursed her lips. ¡°That day, Lu Shen asked me how Gu Wan came back. I don¡¯t even know. We¡¯re a family, but you and mom seem to be keeping it from me.¡±
Mr. Gu was amused. ¡°What do you mean? It¡¯s just that they are already dead, so I can¡¯t say much.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue eating.¡¯
Chapter 54 - Dinner with Lin Yu
Chapter 54 Dinner with Lin Yu
Gu Chu felt that something was wrong. If it was that simple, why would her parents be so apprehensive about sharing?
Mr. Gu had already finished eating. He wiped his mouth and said, ¡°I¡¯m done eating. You continue. I still have a video conference, so I¡¯ll go back first.¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Okay, dad.¡±
It was a simple test. Although she did not get any details about Gu Wan, she knew where to look.
Moreover, she also knew about the terms of the negotiation between Feng Jia and her mother. Her mother¡¯s family would help Feng Jia.
When she heard this, she was actually relieved.
If it was something else that was rted to the engagement, what would she do?
She was on high alert.
Next, she waited for news from Lin Yu.
After Gu Chu finished eating, she went back to work. She had a lot of things to do on Monday and was busy until six o¡¯clock. When she remembered that she had an appointment with Lin Yu, she packed her things and went to Wangjiangyue Restaurant.
Wangjiangyue Restaurant served Jiangnan cuisine. Her secretary booked a private room for her.
By the time she arrived, Lin Yu was already there.
He handed her a towel to wipe her hands and asked, ¡°Are you busy with work?¡±
¡°A little¡± Gu Chu replied.
After all, she had two big projects in her hands.
Lin Yu asked again, ¡°Then howe you asked me out for dinner?¡±
¡°You handed a big project to me, I have to treat you to a meal to thank you, right?¡± Gu Chu replied with a smile.
Lin Yu asked with amusement, ¡°So, eating with you is considered a reward?¡±
¡°If you want, I¡¯ll treat you every day. After all, the cafeteria at Gu Corporation is very famous in this area. You don¡¯t have to be polite with
me.¡±
She paused. ¡°Or, I can give you a meal voucher, and you cane over anytime.¡±
Lin Yu smiled and said, ¡°Then give me a few more, and I¡¯ll give them to the employees as benefits.¡±
When Gu Chu was bored, she once saw a video on a certain website with a very eye-catching title, ¡°The Most Eligible Bachelors of Haicheng City.¡± The site received a million hits.
In the video, it listed the wealthy heirs in Haicheng City. Feng Jia, Lin Yu, Lu Shen, and Meng Lang were all on the list.
Of course, she was also on the list, the sole heir of the Gu Corporation.
Before Gu Wan came back.
The author admitted that she liked Feng Jia and Lin Yu the most. After all, they were rich and handsome.
More importantly, they were never involved in any scandals. They were the perfect lovers for the author.
Feng Jia was the typical difficult CEO, while Lin Yu was a gentle prince.
Apart from the CEO of the Lin Corporation, he was also the chief architect. He was the one who designed the Sky Garden.
Gu Chu thought of this and asked him, ¡°Did the board of directors really not make things difficult for you when you gave the Sky Garden Project to the Gu Corporation? I heard from my father that you guys wanted to split it 70-30, but now it¡¯s changed to 60-40. Did they have any objections?¡±
Lin Yu said gently, ¡°The repayment period is long, and the project is too big. I¡¯m afraid the Lin Corporation won¡¯t be able to do it alone.¡± ¡°So, they wanted to work with the Gu Corporation?¡±Gu Chu looked at him carefully. ¡°Is this the truth?¡±
Lin Yu smiled. ¡°I decide what¡¯s the truth.¡±
Gu Chu was convinced. ¡°Well, you are the crown prince of the Lin Corporation.¡±
At this moment, the waiter served the dishes. Lin Yu saw that there was also alcohol.
He turned around and said to Gu Chu, ¡°I heard that after the Feng Corporation injected capital into Wang Tai Group, they still made the decision to sign the contract with Gu Corporation. However, the person in charge of the project is your sister.¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
Lin Yu frowned. ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who was following up on this project?¡±
Gu Chu exined, ¡°Because Gu Wan was new here, she urgently needed toplete a task to prove herself, so it was handed over to her.¡±
Lin Yu picked up the decanter and poured two sses of red wine. As he poured, he said, ¡°Even if she was the one in charge, she probably couldn¡¯t convince others that she could handle it.¡±
¡°So, this project is now back in my hands,¡± Gu Chu said with a smile.
When she said this, she was in high spirits. Lin Yu curved his lips. ¡°To recovering what was lost. Cheers.¡±
Gu Chu raised her ss. ¡°Cheers.¡±
DOIT
vas
The door of the private room was made of carved wood. From the outside, one couldpletely see the inside.
When Feng Jia passed by, he saw them through the gap. He stopped in his tracks.
The secretary beside him also saw them and said, ¡°CEO Feng, that¡¯s Director Gu and CEO Lin.¡±
The client beside him looked puzzled. ¡°CEO Feng, did you meet someone familiar?¡±
Feng Jia retracted his gaze and pointed to the private room in front of him. ¡°The food is ready. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Chapter 55 - Feng Jia was Also Here
Chapter 55 Feng Jia was Also Here
Gu Chu had known Lin Yin and Lin Yu for many years. They had grown up together, but she only met Feng Jiater.
Lin Yu put a piece of shrimp into Gu Chu¡¯s bowl and asked her inquisitively, ¡°Are you investigating Gu Wan?¡±
¡°Yes, wasn¡¯t she studying at a university in the capital?¡± She continued, ¡°By the way, is it difficult to find out?¡±
¡°Not really. I have a friend at the University of Finance and Economics. I can ask him to check Gu Wan¡¯s academic records first, and then I¡¯ll investigate her background.¡±
Lin Yu had a solid background in the capital. After he graduated from university, he worked there to gain experience. He stayed there for a whole five years before returning to Haicheng City.
Thinking of this, Gu Chu said, ¡°It seems that I owe you a favor again. It can¡¯t be repaid with a few meal vouchers.¡±
Lin Yu curled his lips.
Gu Chu leaned closer to him and said in a low voice, ¡°No matter what you find out, don¡¯t tell anyone.¡±
He didn¡¯t need her to remind him about this. He knew it in his heart. ¡°Okay.¡±
He was a smart person. Since Gu Chu wanted to investigate Gu Wan and said so, it meant that Gu Wan might not have a glorious past. If she was really used by someone with ulterior motives, it would affect the Gu family and the Gu Corporation.
Therefore, he had to be cautious.
Moreover, he was not a person who babbled.
He saw that she had eaten the shrimp, so he picked up another piece and put it into her bowl. ¡°This Friday, I want to go to the capital to check on the Sky Garden. Do you want toe?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± She was the person in charge of the project, so she had to go.
Lin Yu picked up the wine ss, swirled it and took a sip. ¡°I¡¯ll ask my assistant to send you the itineraryter.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Actually, Gu Chu had another matter that she wanted to trouble him with, but she was too embarrassed to say it. ¡°Lin Yu.¡±
Lin Yu saw the look in her eyes, so he said, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡±
Gu Chu then asked, ¡°Can you help me keep an eye out for Taoist Wu¡¯s painting?¡±
¡°Taoist Wu?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ve asked a few friends, but there has been no news. I thought you had more connections, so I asked you,¡± She said with a pleading look. ¡°Can you help me find out?¡±
Lin Yu thought to himself that this was not as difficult as investigating Gu Wan.
So he would not refuse. ¡°No problem.¡±
If he said so, then there must be no problem.
Gu Chu quickly raised her ss. ¡°Thank you.¡±
The meal did not end until 10 o¡¯clock in the evening
As soon as they left the restaurant, they felt thete autumn breeze. For a moment, they felt a bit tipsy.
Lin Yu looked down at her and knew that she was a little drunk. He asked, ¡°Do you need me to send you back?¡±
She shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s not on the way. Besides, you¡¯ve been drinking.¡±
Lin Yu frowned and found it funny. ¡°Who ordered the wine?¡±
Both of them had been drinking, and someone had to drive.
Gu Chu was very confident. ¡°It¡¯s you! I don¡¯t usually drink, so it must have been you who ordered it!¡±
She only drank two sses in total, and he med it on her?
He touched his nose. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. When did I ever order wine when we eat out?¡±
¡°How about we ask the waiter?¡± Gu Chu turned around to look for someone.
She was indeed drunk. The waiter had seen so many customers in a day, how could he remember who ordered the wine?
Moreover, the waiter would not say it to avoid getting into trouble.
Lin Yu hurriedly tried to pull her back, but Gu Chu staggered and looked like she was about to fall. ¡°Be careful!¡±
But before his hand touched Gu Chu, a pair of hands caught Gu Chu faster than he did.
Gu Chu fell into an embrace, and a faint cold fragrance entered her nostrils. It had a mesmerizing smell.
She looked up and saw a sharp jawline. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his ck eyes behind his gold-rimmed sses were cold and indifferent.
She was confused. ¡°Feng Jia? Why are you here?¡±
It¡¯s so easy for them to bump into each other. Is this fate?
Chapter 56 - In the Car
Chapter 56 In the Car
Feng Jia held her and didn¡¯t answer her. Instead, he looked at Lin Yu and nodded. ¡°CEO Lin.¡±
¡°CEO Feng.¡± Lin Yu silently withdrew his hand. ¡°She drank two sses of red wine and got a little drunk.¡±
¡°She can¡¯t hold her liquor well at first. Sorry to trouble you,¡± Feng Jia said.
Lin Yu replied, ¡°It¡¯s my fault too. I won¡¯t let her touch wine again next time.¡±
He said ¡°next time¡±.
Although the two of them were from the same city, they were not close friends. After all, that depends on chemistry.
Unfortunately, when they looked at each other, they felt that they shouldn¡¯t be close friends.
After a few polite words, Feng Jia was about to take Gu Chu away.
After taking two steps, Gu Chu suddenly turned around and shouted, ¡°I remember now! The wine was in the set meal that we ordered. You asked the waiter to open it. So, it¡¯s your fault!¡±
Lin Yu looked at her with a smile.
Feng Jia¡¯s face had already darkened. She was about to be dragged into the car.
Gu Chu was still lying on top of him, shouting at Lin Yu, ¡°You asked the driver toe and pick you up. You¡¯ve been drinking too, so you can¡¯t drive!¡±
She wanted to say something, but Feng Jia opened the car door and pushed her head in.
Gu Chu sat in the car with a dazed expression. She forgot what she wanted to say.
Lin Yu stood where he was and said in a low voice, ¡°Okay.¡±
The car started. She opened the window and felt the cold wind. She finally came back to her senses. She turned around and red at Feng Jia. ¡°I haven¡¯t finished speaking!¡±
Feng Jia walked around her and shut the car window expressionlessly. ¡°Do you want to have a headache tomorrow?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t drink much,¡± Gu Chu exined in a low voice.
Feng Jia didn¡¯t sit back down immediately. Instead, he held her chin and asked, ¡°You got drunk after two sses?¡±
Her voice was still clear. ¡°I¡¯m not drunk.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
After he asked, he kissed her passionately.
He had been holding back for a long time.
So, his fianc¨¦e didn¡¯t have time to have dinner with him, but she had time to have dinner with another man?
He wrapped hisrge hands around her slender waist and restrained her. Gu Chu felt her tongue go numb, and the sound of their tongues intertwining could be heard.
Her mind started to be muddled, and she didn¡¯t know where she was.
At the beginning, she was passive, butter on, she hooked her arm around his neck, as if it wasn¡¯t enough, and wrapped her tongue around his.
Feng Jia reached out and raised the partition for privacy.
Gu Chu did not notice his action, but she was still responding to him in a daze.
Then, his hand moved along her thigh and squeezed hard. He continued upwards.
Only then did she wake up. She opened her eyes and tried to push him away.
However, he grabbed her wrist and held her firmly in ce.
She squeezed her legs tightly. Only then did she see that the partition was up. She cursed in her heart, ¡°Bastard!¡±
He dragged her downwards, and she fell onto the seat. She was in apromised position. She slightly moved away from his lips. ¡°Wait, wait a minute.¡±
She was wearing a skirt today, which was more convenient for him. He immediately lifted her skirt up and slid his hand inside.
She grunted, bit her lower lip and whispered, ¡°We¡¯re in the car¡¡±
He bent down and pressed his thin lips against her ear. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you can¡¯t be seen from the outside.¡±
But, there would be sounds¡
As if he could see her concern, he whispered, ¡°Lower your voiceter.¡±
Impossible.
Soon, her lower body was damp. He knew her body and her sensitive spots too well.
Her face was flushed red. She never thought that she would be so bold.
She straightened her neck and coquettishly whispered in his ear, ¡°Get out¡¡±
¡°Okay.¡± He quickly took out his hand.
Soon, something went in instead of his finger.
It went deep. Her eyes reddened and she grabbed his shoulders tightly.
She never wanted to lose. Usually, when he left marks on her body, she would do the same.
His back and the back of his neck would be filled with scratches.
But now, she could not do it, because he was still wearing clothes.
Yes, he did not even take off his clothes, and she had her skirt at her waist. The buttons of her blouse were opened, and hercey bra was pushed up.
The bastard was still well-dressed. Except for some heavy breathing, he lookedpletely normal.
She suddenly felt indignant and reached for the buttons of his shirt.
Chapter 57 - I Choose the Sky Garden Project
Chapter 57 I Choose the Sky Garden Project
He pushed in heavily, and her fingers that were unbuttoning his shirt turned into a tight grip. Although she would not fall, the swaying made her heart thump.
Moreover, they were in a car!
Perhaps he had seen through her thoughts, he suddenly held her waist and changed his position!
So that they were both sitting.
She was sitting on hisp.
She frowned and wanted to dodge. ¡°Change¡¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, the driver suddenly slowed down.
They just happened to pass by a speed bump. At that moment, her words got stuck in her throat. Then, her entire body went soft and shey on top of his body.
They stayed in this position the entire way.
She could still say a few words in the beginning, but in the end, she could only groan.
The car drove all the way to Jinyuan Residences.
When she got out of the car, her legs were soft.
At least he had a conscience. He knew to wipe her and put her clothes back on.
But her underwear was so wet that she couldn¡¯t wear it anymore¡
She was initially drunk and a little dizzy, but now her legs had gone limp.
When he got out of the car, she threw herself on him and said softly, ¡°Carry me inside.¡± Without saying anything, he grabbed her knees and lifted her up.
She said coquettishly, ¡°I¡¯m dizzy.¡±
¡°Go back and drink some honey,¡± He replied.
Although she was dizzy, she could still think. ¡°No, I¡¯ll get e tomorrow.¡±
As a flower of Haicheng City, she was very protective of her skin.
The little vixen was at it again, but where would he find soup for a hangover?
So, after entering the house, he put her on the sofa and kindly went to the kitchen to make honey for her.
He took it over and said expressionlessly, ¡°It¡¯s zero sugar.¡±
The little vixen said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. I feel dizzy. I can¡¯t hear anything.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°¡¡±
He took a sip, grabbed her waist, and kissed her red lips.
He had to trick her to drink it.
After she finished drinking it, she started to make demands again. ¡°My body is covered in sweat. I need to take a bath.¡±
She was covered in sweat because she was drunk. Although they had only done it once, it was pretty intense.
Feng Jia epted his fate and picked her up, putting her into the bathtub that was filled with water.
Gu Chu leaned on the edge of the bathtub and hummedfortably, enjoying his pampering. He put some shower gel on her back, and when he touched her front, he pinched her breasts gently.
She immediately turned around vigntly. ¡°Feng Jia, can you not be such a beast?¡±
She had been tormented quite badly just now!
He retracted his hand and did not provoke her for the time being.
She closed her eyes and continued to enjoy his rare service.
At this moment, he asked, ¡°What did you and Lin Yu talk about tonight?¡±
She repliedzily, ¡°The project.¡±
¡°The Sky Garden Project?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Didn¡¯t your father give Yangchang Project back to you?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
He tried to persuade her. ¡°The two projects start around the same time. Can you handle them?¡±
Gu Chu smiled smugly. ¡°Last year, I was in charge of three projects at the same time. It wasn¡¯t a big deal. This time, there are only two. It¡¯s a piece of cake.¡±
Feng Jia saw her smug look and couldn¡¯t help but pour cold water on her. ¡°The three projects that you took overst year were not asplicated as any one of them. Besides, look at the scale of the projects. One of them is in the capital and the other is in Yangcheng City. Can you handle going back and forth to three cities? Even if your body can handle it, mistakes could happen, so don¡¯t be overconfident.¡±
Seeing that she was about to fall asleep, he did not know if she had heard what he said. He reached out and pinched her to wake her up.
Gu Chu¡¯s mind was indeed clearer after being pinched by him. Just as she was about to scold him, she heard him say, ¡°If you want to take over two projects, you won¡¯t do well in both. So, have you thought about it?¡±
Hearing what he said, it seemed to make sense. She asked, ¡°Then what do you think?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you have people under you who could use the Sky Garden Project as practice?¡± This was what Feng Jia had in mind.
However, Gu Chu had her own thoughts. ¡°I want to be in charge of Sky Garden Project.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°¡¡±
She exined, ¡°Gu Corporation holds 40% of the Sky Garden Project. As for the Yangchang Project, we only have 30%, so Sky Garden Project is more important.¡±
Then, she assured herself, ¡°That¡¯s settled!¡±
Chapter 58 - Gu Chu Didn’t Show Up for the Meeting
Chapter 58 Gu Chu Didn¡¯t Show Up for the Meeting
Feng Jia was touchy when they were soaking in the bathtub together, so Gu Chu pushed his hand away and stood under the shower to wash the foam off her body.
Halfway through the shower, Feng Jia came over and pressed against her. They did it again.
In the end, Gu Chu¡¯s head was dizzy while being carried onto the bed.
The next morning, Gu Chu felt ufortable all over, especially her head, which was in excruciating pain.
At that moment, he woke up too.
The bedsheet slid off his body, revealing arge patch of skin with a few scratches on it.
Anyway, she seed in the car yesterday, so she got her revenge in the bathroom.
¡°I¡¯m going to wash up,¡± She said.
It was more than half an hour after she finished washing up and putting on her makeup.
When she went downstairs, Feng Jia was already having breakfast. Aunty Wang was still busy with her work. When she saw hering down, she said, ¡°Good morning, Chuchu.¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°Good Morning.¡±
Aunty Wang was Feng Jia¡¯s housekeeper. Every day, she made his breakfast, washed his clothes, and cleaned his room.
At this time, Feng Jia had already finished eating. He picked up his coat and put it on. He said to her, ¡°Come to Feng Corporation at 10:30.¡±
Gu Chu was puzzled. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°There are some things that need to be discussed about Yangchang Project.¡± ¡°Oh.¡±
The secretary came to pick him up. When the car started moving, he said, ¡°Pay attention to the Lin Corporation¡¯s Sky Garden Project.¡±
The secretary said, ¡°Okay.¡±
At 10:30 in the morning, in the Feng Corporation¡¯s conference room, there was a project discussion. Basically, the people in charge had all arrived.
When Feng Jia entered the room, he saw Gu Chu¡¯s secretary.
He frowned. He thought that Gu Chu had gone out for a while, so he didn¡¯t ask anything and just sat at the head of the table.
However, when the meeting started, he still didn¡¯t see Gu Chu.
Indeed, only Gu Chu¡¯s secretary was here.
Feng Jia thought, ¡°Maybe she was drunk yesterday, so she didn¡¯te because of the headache?¡±
The goal of the meeting was to finalise the details before the project started. Most of the things had already been discussed in he previous meetings.
After the meeting ended, as the host, the Feng Corporation would treat those from the Gu Corporation to a meal.
Gu Chu¡¯s secretary declined tactfully, saying that she had to go with the director to inspect the factory. So she had to go back and to prepare.
Feng Jia asked, ¡°Why isn¡¯t she here today?¡±
The secretary replied, ¡°She has other work to do. I recorded the content of today¡¯s meeting. I¡¯ll clean it up and hand it over to her.¡±
Feng Jia nodded.
The secretary secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was always very nervous when facing CEO Feng.
She was more serious in the meeting just now than when she was listening to a teacher¡¯s lecture.
She had lied about having to go for an inspection. She was afraid that her hands would tremble when she sat at the same table as CEO Feng Feng Jia returned to the office and gave Gu Chu a call. Initially, he wanted to ask her if she had a headache, but he didn¡¯t expect to hear Lin Yu¡¯s voice.
He asked her why she didn¡¯te to the meeting, she replied, ¡°The project n has been mostly finalized. It¡¯s not like I need to be there. Besides, Gu Corporation doesn¡¯t have that much of a say in this project. Since the secretary was there, she could just record the meeting for me.¡±
She said, ¡°I still have something to do. I got to go.¡±
Then, she hung up. ¡°Beep¡¡±
Hearing the busy tone, Feng Jia¡¯s expression went dark. He knew that both Yangchang and the Sky Garden projects were happening at the same time, so she must have gone to the Lin Corporation for a meeting.
Great.
She went to the Lin Corporation instead of the Feng Corporation.
The secretary came to deliver the report. Feng Jia suddenly threw the report away and said angrily, ¡°Is Wang Yu tired of living? Even the decimal point is wrongly marked??¡±
The secretary¡¯s heart jumped. She quickly lowered her eyes to take a look. It really was wrong.
She quickly said, ¡°CEO Wang might have missed that.¡±
¡°He was careless. And you too?¡± He said in a deep voice.
The secretary was afraid of getting into trouble, so she quickly apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, CEO Feng. This will never happen again.¡±
Wang Yu, Wang Yu¡ Lin Yu? Feng Jia mulled over these two words and said firmly, ¡°Get
out.¡±
The secretary quickly picked up the report and left.
She had been by Feng Jia¡¯s side for three years. Although she didn¡¯t understand his personality very well, she was still able to figure it out.
There must be another reason for him to be so angry.
At the meeting just now, his expression didn¡¯t look right.
Oh right, Miss Gu Chu didn¡¯te to the meeting¡
Chapter 59 - A Strange Man Came Knocking on the Door
Chapter 59 A Strange Man Came Knocking on the Door
The secretary took out her phone and called her friend at Gu Corporation ¡°Why didn¡¯t Director Gue to Feng Corporation for the meeting today?¡±
¡°She went to Lin Corporation for a meeting.¡±
Lin Corporation? She remembered that CEO Feng had asked her to pay attention to their project this morning.
At that time, she thought it was strange that she had to pay attention to this project.
Now, it seemed that she was not supposed to pay attention to the project, but to the people.
It was said that Director Gu and CEO Lin were childhood sweethearts.
The meeting for the Sky Garden Project was held until 12:30 pm. Lin Yu wanted to invite her to have lunch with him, but she rejected him.
She replied, ¡°It will take me at least two hours to have lunch with you. I might as well eat in the cafeteria and read through the documents at the same time.¡±
In fact, she was pressed for time.
The Sky Garden Project was about to start soon. As the person in charge, she had yet to fully understand the project. She had never fought a battle that she had not prepared.
Generally speaking, such arge project would take at least a few months from the time it was nned to start. On average, it would take three to five years.
As for Yangchang Project, she had followed it for almost half a year and memorized every step of it.
Sky Garden Project was given to her by Lin Yu at thest minute. Although she had made ample preparations for today¡¯s meeting, she almost couldn¡¯t keep up with it.
Back at Gu Corporation, she didn¡¯t go to the cafeteria. Instead, she asked her secretary to bring her a meal. She spent the whole afternoon studying the project, sorting out the meeting points.
It was not until 6:30 in the evening that she felt a little hungry. She asked her secretary to order takeout for her.
After the secretary had finished ordering, Gu Chu told her to go home.
It was almost time to get off work. Most of the people on this floor had left.
Not long after, she received a call from an unknown number. ¡°Hello, is this Ms. Gu?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
She had thought that it was the food delivery person, but she did not expect it to be a parcel delivery.
She had recently bought a bag. Usually, the delivery address she chose was her apartment or her family home. Did she identally set it to her office?
However, she had been busy the entire afternoon and could not be bothered to go down to get it. She also liked this bag very much. It was a limited edition bag, so she said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll ask the security to let you in. Take the elevator up to the 20th floor. Turn left and you¡¯ll see my office.¡±
The person¡¯s voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu made a call and asked the security to let him in.
As soon as she finished the call, she received another one, ¡°Hello, is this Ms. Gu? Your parcel has arrived. Would you like it to be ced at the front desk on the first floor or sent up?¡±
Huh? Why were there two? She replied, ¡°Just put it at the front desk.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
She was puzzled. She had only bought a bag recently. Why were there two? She asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you call me just now?¡±
¡°No.¡±
No? She blinked and suddenly felt a sense of unease.
The employees on this floor had all left by this time. She didn¡¯t think much of it and quickly got up to run to the door.
The moment she grabbed the doorknob, the elevator made a ¡°ding¡± sound. A man wearing a mask suddenly walked in and looked at her with a fierce look.
Her heart trembled and she quickly closed the door.
At this moment, the man also sensed that something was wrong. He took a few big steps forward and tried to stop her.
She quickly closed the door!
The door could not be opened without a key card. It was usually closed during work, and whoever leavesst would be responsible for closing it.
The man suddenly mmed the ss door fiercely.
Gu Chu hurriedly took two steps back and recorded the video of the man mming the door.
The courier¡¯s voice could still be heard. ¡°Hello? Miss Gu, the front desk has already signed for it.¡±
She said hurriedly, ¡°I have a criminal who is pretending to be you here. Help me inform the front desk and call security toe up to the 20th floor!¡±
The delivery man quickly told the front desk. The receptionist immediately called security.
After hanging up the phone, she was still recording the video. She waved her phone and said to the man outside the ss door, ¡°I have already asked security toe up. Who are you?¡±
The man wore a mask and cursed. Then he continued to knock on the door.
Although the door was only made of ss, the quality was very good, so Gu Chu was not worried that he would break it open.
She looked at the man¡¯s eyes and forehead that were exposed. It was very unfamiliar and she did not recognize him at all. So, who was he?
Chapter 60 - She Did Not Recognize the Man
Chapter 60 She Did Not Recognize the Man
Gu Chu said coldly, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I¡¯ll call the police!¡±
The man seemed to have been provoked by her words. He smashed open the fire emergency box, took out the fire extinguisher and smashed it on the ss door!
With a bang, Gu Chu clearly felt the entire floor tremble!
Normally, when people heard that the security guards hade and that she wanted to call the police, they would run. But he actually had no intention of leaving. Instead, he wanted to smash the door and kill her.
Gu Chu did not hesitate and immediately called the police.
At this moment, three security guards arrived. One of them pointed at the man and shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±
The man raised the fire extinguisher and threw it at them, but they dodged it.
He picked up something beside him and threw it at the security guard.
However, the security guards were not weak. Moreover, they had the advantage in numbers. They took a few big steps forward and grabbed the man and pressed him to the ground!
The man struggled violently and almost broke free!/
Fortunately, the security guards had gone through special training. It took a lot of effort to hold the man down.
After Gu Chu confirmed that he was being held down, she swiped her card and exited the door.
The head security quickly said, ¡°Director Gu, are you alright? It was our fault. We let him in.¡±
As he spoke, he took off the man¡¯s mask.
It was apletely unfamiliar face.
The head security asked again, ¡°Director Gu, do you know him?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°No.¡±
She turned to ask the man, ¡°Who are you? Why did you attack me?¡±.
The man struggled, the veins on his neck popping. He did not say a word and looked at her fiercely, as if she was his mortal enemy!
The head security nodded and asked suspiciously, ¡°Is he not right in the head?¡±
¡°No,¡± Gu Chu said with certainty, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, how would he know to approach me by pretending to be a courier?¡±
The man suddenly roared, ¡°You B * tch! You will die a horrible death!¡±
¡°I will die a horrible death?¡± Gu Chu sneered, ¡°Tell me, what did I do to deserve a horrible death?¡±
The man kept his mouth shut.
Not long after, the police arrived and took the man away.
As the victim, she also went to the police station to make a statement.
As the Gu Corporation was well-known in Haicheng City, the people in the police station knew Mr. Gu. They quickly called him and he immediately called Gu Chu.
Gu Chu pinched the space between her eyebrows helplessly. She didn¡¯t want to make her parents worry sote at night. The police were too efficient.
Before she could ask anything, she called him.
She said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m fine. The security guards and the police came at the right time. I didn¡¯t lose a hair.¡±
Mr. Gu got up from the bed and put on his clothes while saying, ¡°I¡¯ll go to the police station to pick you up now.¡±
Gu Chu quickly said, ¡°No need. I¡¯ll go back after making the statement. I¡¯m ready to go back to the apartment. You don¡¯t have toe here in the middle of the night.¡±
¡°Alright then. I won¡¯t go over, but don¡¯t go back to your apartment either. I¡¯ll get Feng Jia to pick you up. You can go back to with him.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
After Mr. Gu hung up the call with Gu Chu, he quickly called Feng Jia. Mrs. Gu listened to the conversation and quickly asked, ¡°Is Gu Chu okay?¡±
¡°She¡¯s fine. She reacted quickly.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Mrs. Gu¡¯s face rxed. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Gu Wan walked in with her crutch. ¡°What happened? I came out to drink some water. I heard some noise in your room.¡±
Mrs. Gu immediately got up and helped her sit. ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t fall.¡±
Gu Wan, ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just a few steps. Dad, you mentioned Chuchu just now. What happened to her?¡±
¡°She was working overtime at thepany tonight. Suddenly, a man pretended to be a delivery man and went up to attack her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and closed the door in time. That was why he didn¡¯t seed,¡± Mr. Gu said with a sh of anger on his face, ¡°I want to go to the police station tomorrow to see who dared to attack my daughter?!¡±
Gu Wan tightened her grip on her crutch and asked nervously, ¡°Is Chuchu really fine?¡±
¡°Yes, thank goodness the security and the police were there in time.¡±
Mr. Gu had already called Feng Jia. ¡°Feng Jia, Chuchu is in trouble.¡±
Mrs. Gu supported Gu Wan. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The doctor told you not walk too much. Go back and rest.¡±
She did not notice the sh of hatred in Gu Wan¡¯s eyes. He did not seed?
Damn you, useless piece of trash!
Chapter 61 - Feng Jia Came to Pick Her Up
Chapter 61: Feng Jia Came to Pick Her Up
Not long after, Gu Chu received a call from Feng Jia.
He didn¡¯t say much and just told her to wait at the police station.
Gu Chu felt that there was too much smoke in the police station, so she sat on the bench in the corridor outside the hall. When she left thepany, she brought the project documents of Sky Garden with her. At this time, she was waiting for Feng Jia while she read the information.
About half an hourter, Feng Jia stepped into the police station. When he saw her, he strode toward her and looked her up and down. When he saw that she was fine, he rxed and asked, ¡°What happened?¡±
Gu Chu closed the file and looked up at him. ¡°Do you want to hear the thrilling version or the easy version?¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything. With his personality, he probably wasn¡¯t interested in listening to her vivid description. He just shrugged, so she said concisely, ¡°Well, I was working overtime at thepany when the man called me to tell me that my parcel had arrived. It was thetest limited edition bag I bought. I didn¡¯t think much before asking the security guard to let him up.¡±
¡°But it was such a coincidence. As he wasing up, the real delivery guy called me. I immediately sensed that something was wrong and immediately ran out to lock the door.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s tone was very rxed. After all, her reaction was fast enough to survive the crisis. She could almost appear in the news as a good example.
However, when she came to the police station, she received a call from the food delivery guy, but she could not go back. So now, she was tired and hungry, and her face did not look rxed.
Feng Jia¡¯s face was not rxed at all. It was like a dark pool in the deep mountains. His whole body was emitting cold air. ¡°So you did not confirm his identity at all. As soon as you heard that it was your bag, you foolishly let him go upstairs? Also, the security guards did not confirm his identity either?¡±
Yes...
She said a little embarrassedly, ¡°As soon as I heard that it was a courier, my first thought was the bag, so I couldn¡¯t wait. Moreover, when he came in, he pretended to be holding a parcel in his hand. The security guards also had my confirmation, so they did not suspect anything.¡±
¡°Is this your first time shopping online?¡± Feng Jia¡¯s tone was a little unpleasant. ¡°The phone numbers of the delivery people will prove that. Don¡¯t you know that?¡±
Gu Chu stood up somewhat indignantly. ¡°It¡¯s not like every delivery person¡¯s phone number will be shown, right? There are so many of them. Moreover, when I thought of my bag at that time, I got excited.¡±
Excited? Feng Jia¡¯s expression became even more unsightly. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the real courier calling you, you would probably die. You¡¯re sozy that you can¡¯t even go down to pick up your parcel. You could have gotten the front desk to deliver it to you, but you insisted on letting him into your office. Aren¡¯t you afraid that confidential documents will be leaked?!¡±
Gu Chu choked on his roar.
What had gotten into him?
She was almost killed, but he was yelling at her?
She thought that he hade tofort her, but he actually came to scold her, so she was also a little angry. ¡°So now you¡¯re ming the victim? Do you think that I¡¯m not vignt enough? How can someone be alert all the time?¡±
¡°Moreover, this is Haicheng City. It is safer than most ces in the country. Besides, I was in the city and it¡¯s not evente at night. I¡¯m just working overtime in the office, no matter how paranoid I am, I wouldn¡¯t think that someone would dare to barge in and harm me, right?¡±
Feng Jia looked down at her. ¡°In the end, it¡¯s all your fault for not being careful enough.¡±
Ha!
If she knew how to fight, she would have already started fighting with him.
She was so angry that she was about tough. ¡°Fine, it¡¯s all my fault, okay?¡±
He said in a deep voice, ¡°That¡¯s why I told you to be careful. You only have one life. If it¡¯s gone, it¡¯s gone.¡±
Gu Chu let out a heavy breath.
F * ck! She actually thought that he was right?
She turned her face away in annoyance and stopped looking at him.
He said again, ¡°Ordinary people were already not safe, let alone someone with your status. You¡¯re the eldest daughter of the Gu Corporation. If they managed to kidnap you, they could ask your parents for a high ransom. People who have nothing to lose will not hesitate to take the risks.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°Alright, I got it. I¡¯ll be careful in the future.¡±
Fine, everything he said was right.
However, his tone could have been better! ¡°I was almost scared to death just now! You didn¡¯t evenfort me!¡±
Hmph, she was angry!
Chapter 62 - Where Will She Stay?
Chapter 62 Where Will She Stay?
It was rare for her to act coquettishly. He let out a deep breath. ¡°Were you scared?¡±
Wasn¡¯t he feeling smug just now? Did he think he would be left off the hook so easily?
¡°Of course!¡± She took out her phone and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. ¡°Look! He¡¯s so fierce. How can I not be scared?¡±
Can¡¯t he say something nice?
In the video, the man seemed to have gone crazy. He was smashing the ss door. The camera was shaking, which showed that the hand of the person holding the camera was also shaking.
The man¡¯s scarlet eyes looked at the camera like a wild beast seeing its prey.
The video was not long, only half a minute. After watching it, Feng Jia sent the video to himself and asked, ¡°Did he tell you anything?¡±
¡°He kept his mouth shut. He didn¡¯t reveal anything.¡± She shrugged, ¡°When he arrived at the police station, he didn¡¯t say a word, as if he was a mute. He pretended to be dumb when the police asked him questions. Just now, they had already checked his fingerprints. They should be able to find out who he is very soon.¡±
Just as she finished speaking, a police officer walked over. ¡°Miss Gu, Mr. Feng is here too?¡±
They were indeed police officers and managed to make him talk. ¡°He said that he saw your good looks and only wanted to go up to have a few words with you. That¡¯s why he pretended to be a delivery man and called you.¡±
Feng Jia looked down at Gu Chu.
Gu Chu showed the video in her phone to the policeman. ¡°I don¡¯t think he looks at me like that, right? He just wants to have a few words with me behaving like that? Doesn¡¯t he want to take my life? Is he saying that just to get away with it?¡± The police officer replied, ¡°We¡¯ve already found out that he¡¯s from the capital His name is Shen Shan. He has a criminal record.¡±
¡°Criminal record?¡± Gu Chu was stunned.
¡°Yes. He was sentenced to ten years for two counts of attempted murder. He was only released two months ago.¡±
Gu Chu frowned./
Feng Jia said from the side, ¡°He didn¡¯t tell the truth.¡±
Yes, he was definitely hiding something, the police officer was helpless. ¡°He wouldn¡¯t say anything else. He just said that he was in love with Miss Gu and that it was because of love that he did this. Do you remember if you had any kind of contact with him?¡±
Gu Chu had already tried to remember on the way here, but she really didn¡¯t think of anything. ¡°No, I¡¯ve never seen him before, let alone having any interaction. And he definitely isn¡¯t in love with me. He probably wanted to kill me. I don¡¯t even have any enmity towards him.¡±
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll continue to investigate this and update you,¡± The police officer said.
Gu Chu nodded, thanked him, and was about to leave.
At this moment, Feng Jia said, ¡°Send me his information.¡±
The police officer was a little embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m afraid this is against the rules.¡±
Feng Jia gave a dignified reason. ¡°The person he intends to hurt is my fianc¨¦e. Why can¡¯t I take his information just in case? Besides, I just want to protect my fianc¨¦e.¡±
After being here for so long, this was the only he said that sounded nice.
The police officer had no choice but to give him the information.
After getting into the car, Gu Chu tilted her head and asked him, ¡°You want to investigate him yourself?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°Yes.¡±
That man was very dangerous. He didn¡¯t seem like a madman. Moreover, he didn¡¯te here because of love or hate, but because he wanted to hurt Gu Chu.
If he didn¡¯t investigate his background thoroughly, Chuchu would still be in danger.
Gu Chu recalled that the police officer mentioned that the man was from the capital. She said, ¡°What a coincidence. I¡¯m going to the capital on a business trip.¡±
Feng Jia paused. ¡°Is it because of the Sky Garden Project?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°With Lin Yu?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
What else could it be?
Feng Jia saw that she had been holding a document in her hand. Written on the cover were the words ¡°Sky Garden¡±. She had stayed behind to work overtime today because of this project.
He asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t hee to pick you up after such a big incident?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Lin Yu was like a brother. He was her fianc¨¦!
She replied, ¡°This isn¡¯t something glorious. Do I have to advertise it everywhere with a megaphone? If my dad hadn¡¯t called you to pick me up, I wouldn¡¯t have told you. I wanted to go back to the apartment to sleep, but my dad was worried and insisted that you pick me
up.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s brows sank as he listened. ¡°So, you don¡¯t n to go back to my ce?¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Why do I have to go back with you? It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have a ce to stay.¡±
She suddenly felt that the atmosphere became tense.
She tilted her head to look at him. ¡°But if you sincerely invite me to stay at your ce until the truth is revealed, I¡¯ll ept it.¡±
Feng Jia was amused. ¡°If you don¡¯t stay at my ce, where will you stay? The Gu house? I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be happy with Gu Wan there either, right?¡±
The bastard knew her quite well, she straightened her neck and said, ¡°Even if it¡¯s not ideal, I can stay at a hotel. The hotel service isn¡¯t bad either. Moreover, I can stay at Lin Yu¡¯s house. It¡¯s close to thepany. I can even take an extra ten minutes of sleep every day!¡±
Chapter 63 - Trying to Trick Feng Jia
Chapter 63: Trying to Trick Feng Jia
She emphasized the words ¡°Lin Yu¡±, as if she was doing it on purpose.
Feng Jia drove the car to Jin Yuan Residences and parked it downstairs. His face was cold as he swiftly unbuckled his seatbelt and did not say a word.
Gu Chu, on the other hand, insisted on teasing him. ¡°Feng Jia, are you jealous?¡±
Feng Jia pulled out the car keys and got out of the car. He had a domineering aura and said, ¡°Why would I be jealous?¡±
Hehe, he¡¯s still pretending.
She opened the door and got out of the car. She followed him and said slowly behind him, ¡°I knew you were jealous. I didn¡¯te to the Feng Corporation meeting today. Instead, I went to Lin Yu¡¯spany. You think that the Sky Garden Project is more important to me than the Yangchang Project!¡±
Her tone was somewhat smug.
Gu Chu recalled that when she was bathing in the bathtub, he had mentioned that he wanted her to hand over the Sky Garden project to her subordinates.
Initially, she didn¡¯t understand why, but now that she thought about it, he was just jealous, right?
Tsk, the bastard¡¯s thoughts were hidden quite deep.
Feng Jia began to unlock the door. ¡°I¡¯m just stating the facts. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡±
Gu Chu found an opportunity to slip under his arm. Facing him, she enunciated each word clearly, ¡°Is that so? Why do I feel like you¡¯re jealous? Are you stating the facts?¡±
His expression was cold and stern, showing no signs of guilt.
Gu Chu looked at him with a smile, wanting to continue teasing him.
¡°I can¡¯t believe it, CEO Feng. You¡¯re actually jealous of a project. Lin Yu and I have been friends for twenty years, he¡¯s like my brother, and you¡¯re actually jealous of him!¡±
/
Gu Chu touched his face and pinched his cheek, ¡°I took great pains to take the project back from Gu Wan. Of course, I won¡¯t ignore it. However, the Sky Garden Project is even more urgent which is why it¡¯s my main focus now. I¡¯lle back to youter!¡±
Feng Jia grabbed her hands that were messing around and asked, ¡°How did you get it back?¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°Through coercion and bribery.¡±
Her mother got her the project. How could Gu Wan bear to return it to her? So that was it. He asked, ¡°Do you have something on Gu Wan?¡±
Gu Chu blinked and said, ¡°Of course, before she returns to the Gu family...¡±
She reached out and tapped on his chest. She continued, ¡°Isn¡¯t her life in the capital the best leverage?¡±
¡°Her life in the capital?¡± Feng Jia held her hand tightly and asked.
¡°Yes, she would rather lose the project than let me reveal it. Do you know about her past?¡± Gu Chu asked as she scratched his palm.
Feng Jia asked, ¡°How would I know?¡±
Gu Chu clicked her tongue. ¡°You¡¯re still hiding it. Gu Wan already told me that you knew.¡±
Feng Jia asked, ¡°What else did she say?¡±
Gu Chu continued, ¡°She said that you knew about her and that it was a secret between the two of you. On the day of my mother¡¯s birthday party, she wanted to exin to you that she had no thoughts about our engagement. She also said that she hoped that you wouldn¡¯t misunderstand, right?¡±
After Feng Jia heard what she said, he found it hard to believe whether it was true or not. After thinking about it, he could only think of one possibility. ¡°Were you awake at that time?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Chu blinked and acted cute. ¡°What do you mean?¡±
¡°Little liar.¡± He chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re trying to trick me. Did you manage to trick others?¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m lying to you?¡±
Feng Jia said firmly, ¡°Then can you tell me anything else? If yes, I¡¯ll tell you everything.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She really didn¡¯t have anything else.
She narrowed her eyes and took a gamble. ¡°You¡¯ve talked about it with her before!¡±
Feng Jia sneered. ¡°What a joke.¡±
Sigh, it didn¡¯t work on him.
She had sessfully tricked Gu Wan and her father, but not him.
But it wasn¡¯tpletely fruitless. At the very least, she knew that he was jealous.
She said slowly, ¡°You pretended to be nonchnt just now, but you were actually jealous of Lin Yu and me, right?¡±
She returned to the topic.
He turned around, pulled her over, lifted her chin, and stroked her red lips with his thumb. ¡°You¡¯re more likable if you don¡¯t talk.¡±
Then, he pressed his lips heavily on hers.
Their lips intertwined, but suddenly she pushed him away. She held her abdomen, bent down, and gasped.
He bent down and caressed her back worriedly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°My stomach hurts...¡± Gu Chu said pitifully. ¡°I didn¡¯t eat much at noon, and I didn¡¯t eat dinner either. I¡¯m starving!¡±
Chapter 64 - It’s Lin Yu
Chapter 64: It¡¯s Lin Yu
Feng Jia picked Gu Chu up and ced her on the sofa. He then poured a cup of hot water and took some medicine out from the medicine cab while it cooled. However, when he remembered that one should not take medicine without a prescription, he put it back. He looked anxious and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡±
Gu Chu drank some water and felt weak all over. ¡°No need. I¡¯m just hungry. Can you find me something to eat?¡±
Feng Jia opened the fridge and took out a frozen dumpling. It was left behind by his housekeeper this morning. He put it into the microwave and turned it on for two minutes before bringing it to Gu Chu.
Gu Chu quickly tried one. It was filled with pork and celery. His housekeeper¡¯s cooking skills were pretty good.
Feng Jia added water into her empty cup and asked her, ¡°How long has your stomach been hurting?¡±
Gu Chu chewed on the dumplings. She replied incoherently, ¡°About a month ago. I was supposed to go to the hospital for a check that day, but my father said he was going to the old mansion for dinner, so I didn¡¯t go. I was nning to go someday.¡±
Feng Jiaidzily on the sofa. He undid two buttons on his shirt and said, ¡°Tomorrow morning, I¡¯ll go to the hospital with you.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t immediately agree. Instead, she looked at her schedule and replied, ¡°I have a meeting in the morning, maybe in the afternoon.¡±
Feng Jia nodded.
In order to maintain her figure, Gu Chu usually didn¡¯t eat too much at night, so she left half of the te for Feng Jia.
Food shouldn¡¯t be wasted.
The next day, after Gu Chu had breakfast, Feng Jia wanted to send her off, but she refused and drove to work by herself.
Feng Jia got into his secretary¡¯s car. The secretary looked at him hesitantly. ¡°CEO Feng...¡±
¡°If you have something to say, say it.¡±
¡°CEO Feng, I was looking up the Sky Garden Project like you asked me to. I also looked up CEO Lin. I found out that thewyer that Director Gu found in Yangcheng City was rmended by him.¡±
Feng Jia pinched the space between his eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s him?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Feng Jia remembered that time when he asked her how she knew awyer since she was unfamiliar with the ce.
She said that there were so manywyers in Yangcheng City and that it was easy for her to find one.
So it was all Lin Yu.
When Gu Chu was kidnapped in Yangcheng City, she didn¡¯t tell her parents, but she told Lin Yu. At that time, he was clearly by her side, so she didn¡¯t think of asking him for help.
Great. Their rtionship was really good.
A few rays of sunlight shone on his body through the car window. Not only did it not make him look more gentle, it made him look even colder.
Gu Chu¡¯s meeting this morning was mainly to decide on the candidate to go to the capital with her the day after tomorrow, as well as who should be in charge of Yangchang Project during the days when she was not here.
After the meeting, it was already twelve o¡¯clock. She had originally nned to have lunch with Feng Jia since he would apany her to the hospital in the afternoon.
At this moment, someone suddenly called her from behind, ¡°Gu Chu.¡±
She turned around. It was Mr. Gu.
She was just about to greet him with a smile when she did not expect someone to follow behind him. It was Gu Wan.
She was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Mr. Gu¡¯s assistant.
Anyone who did not know the situation would have thought that she had injured herself seriously.
Mr. Gu came up to her and carefully checked her body. ¡°Chuchu, why are you still at work today? Are you alright?¡±
Mr. Gu said disapprovingly, ¡°You were so shockedst night. Why didn¡¯t you rest at home? You can postpone any important meeting. If not, you can still have it online.¡±
Gu Wan chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, Chuchu. I heard that you were in dangerst night. We didn¡¯t sleep at allst night. Don¡¯t worry about thepany. If there¡¯s anything important, I¡¯ll be here.¡±
Gu Chu smiled lightly. ¡°I wasn¡¯t in dangerst night. Although it was dangerous, it didn¡¯t scare me.¡±
Gu Wan said with concern, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re okay.¡±
Seeing that the sisters cared about each other, Mr. Gu also said, ¡°Your sister is very concerned about you. She even apanied me to the police station.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows in confusion. ¡°Why did you go to the police station?¡±
¡°To see the criminal of course. The criminal is from the capital and his name is Shen Shan. His mouth is quite tight. The police can¡¯t get anything out of him!¡± Mr. Gu¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly.
Gu Chu quicklyforted him, ¡°Dad, leave these matters to the police. Don¡¯t be too anxious. Moreover, since he¡¯s already been caught, he won¡¯t be able toe out anytime soon.¡±
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Wan said with concern, ¡°Chuchu, why don¡¯t you move back here? If there¡¯s something that you¡¯re not satisfied with at home, you can tell me. I can change it.¡±
She was clearly implying that she did not want to move back home because she did not like her.
Chapter 65 - You Only Have Ten Sentences
Chapter 65: You Only Have Ten Sentences
Gu Chu wanted to ignore her, but she was pushing it.
She wanted to fight back, but when she saw Mr. Gu...
Ah, forget it.
For his sake.
It¡¯s not a big deal.
She didn¡¯t even look at her. She looked at Mr. Gu and asked, ¡°Did the police say anything else?¡±
She did not even bother to respond to her, which made Gu Wan seem overly enthusiastic.
Mr. Gu was a man after all, so he did not notice the awkward atmosphere between them, he frowned and said, ¡°The police said that Shen Shan seems to have a mental health problem and they need to find a psychiatrist to examine him. If they decide that he is mentally ill, they might not be able to hold him anymore.¡±
After all, a mentally ill person could not be convicted legally.
Gu Chu immediately thought of it.
She lowered her eyes and pondered. From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Gu Wan¡¯s expression. She felt that it was a little strange. She did not know if it was because of their recent exchange or if there was another reason.
Mr. Gu quickly expressed his stance, ¡°Chuchu, don¡¯t worry. Even if we can¡¯t convict him, I will not let him off!¡±
Gu Chu quickly shushed, ¡°Dad, you can¡¯t say such things. Aren¡¯t you afraid that the walls have ears?¡±
Mr. Gu saw that she was actually so cautious in thepany and smiled, ¡°During this period of time, you can either stay at home or at Feng Jia¡¯s ce. It¡¯s best to get someone to pick you up from work in case Shen Shan has aplices.¡±
Gu Chu thought for a moment and replied, ¡°I¡¯ll stay at Feng Jia¡¯s ce.¡±
Just as Feng Jia said, Gu Wan was at home. She did not want to go back.
¡°That¡¯s fine too. With Feng Jia taking care of you, I am not worried.¡± Mr. Gu was relieved.
He said again, ¡°Are you going to the capital in the next two days?¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going to check on the Sky Garden Project with the Lin family.¡±
¡°It¡¯s better not to go for now.¡± Mr. Gu was a little worried. ¡°That man is from the capital. What if he has an aplice there?¡±
Gu Chu was speechless. ¡°It¡¯s not like he has aplices in the entire capital. Besides, I¡¯m not going alone this time. I have a team. In addition, Lin Yu is leading the team. Don¡¯t be worried when he¡¯s around.¡±
Mr. Gu was not convinced. ¡°I¡¯m just worried about you.¡±
His words were reassuring.
She pursed her lips into a smile.
Gu Wan chimed in, ¡°If I didn¡¯t hurt my foot, I could have gone on Chuchu¡¯s behalf.¡±
Mr. Guforted her, ¡°There are always unexpected situations. It¡¯s not like it¡¯s your fault, don¡¯t me yourself.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
What she had done was disgusting!
She was not used to her bad habit. ¡°Even if I don¡¯t go, I¡¯ll get the secretary to go on my behalf. Worsees to worse, there are other people in the team. You don¡¯t have to trouble yourself, just take care of your injury. Oh right, it looks serious. Do you want me to introduce you to a doctor?¡±
They both knew how her leg had been injured. Gu Wan forced a smile and finally shut up.
Gu Chu said finally, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, dad. I¡¯ll be fine.¡±
Seeing how stubborn she was, Mr. Gu did not say anything more. After reminding her to be careful, he returned to the office.
The assistant wanted to push Gu Wan along, but Gu Wan stopped her. ¡°Wait a moment, I have a few words to say to Chuchu.¡±
The assistant understood and walked away.
Gu Wan said, ¡°Chuchu, I¡¯d like to talk to you.¡±
Gu Chu, ¡°Sure, how many words?¡±
Gu Wan: ¡°...¡±
How was she supposed to calcte this?
Gu Chu: ¡°I have limited time, so I can only listen to you say ten sentences. You can Start.¡±
Gu Wan bit her lower lip. ¡°I remember what you said. Actually, I never wanted topete with you, including Mr. Feng. I won¡¯t have any more ideas about him in the future.¡±
Gu Chu said coldly, ¡°That¡¯s five You still have five left.¡±
¡°Our parents hope that I can start working in thepany as soon as possible. They even hired someone to teach me. I don¡¯t want to disappoint them, so let¡¯s get along well in the future, okay?¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°Exactly ten. You have nothing else to say, right? If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s my turn.¡±
She paused and said, ¡°I heard everything you said, but I don¡¯t believe in words. I only believe in actions. So before you show any concrete actions, I can¡¯t answer you, okay?¡±
With that, she strode away.
Gu Wan¡¯s lips trembled slightly. She clenched her fingers tightly under the nket. After a long while, she slowly loosened her grip and said to her assistant, ¡°Please push me to my father¡¯s office.¡±
Chapter 66 - Went Back to the Old Mansion Alone
Chapter 66: Went Back to the Old Mansion Alone
Gu Chu did not listen to Gu Wan at all. She was in her own thoughts.
Besides, she could not be bothered to listen to her fake cries.
She returned to the office and sent Feng Jia a Wechat message. ¡°Shen Shan might be mentally ill?¡±
After a long time, he replied, ¡°He¡¯s been in prison before. More or less.¡±
¡°I thought sost night. He heard me calling for security, but he still didn¡¯t run, like he didn¡¯t care about his life.¡±
She suddenly frowned and thought to herself, ¡°If he¡¯s really mentally ill, then did he attack me because he went crazy, or was it an actual attack?¡±
This was the question.
Feng Jia said, ¡°There¡¯s a big clienting this afternoon, and I can¡¯t get away. I¡¯ll get my secretary to apany you to the hospital.¡±
Gu Chu replied immediately, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll go alone.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°Okay.¡±
However, she could go to the hospital anytime. She to go after she returned from the business trip in the capital.
She had lunch at the cafeteria and had a meeting in the afternoon. In the blink of an eye, the day had passed.
When she got off work, her phone rang. She saw that it was from the old mansion¡¯sndline.
She quickly picked it up. ¡°Grandpa?¡±
Grandpa Feng¡¯s energetic voice sounded. ¡°Chuchu, why didn¡¯t you tell me about something so big?¡±
He already knew?
Gu Chu facepalmed. ¡°Grandpa, did Feng Jia tell you?¡±
Grandpa Feng said matter-of-factly, ¡°I¡¯ll know if I want to know.¡±
¡°Yes, you¡¯re the best.¡± She smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I came to work today. It was a close call.¡±
Grandpa Feng immediately said, ¡°That won¡¯t do. You and Feng Jia wille to the old mansion tonight. I need to see you with my own eyes to be at ease.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu had no choice but to call Feng Jia. ¡°Grandpa wants us to go to the old mansion for dinner tonight.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°He probably knows about what happened to youst night. I have a drinking party tonight, so you go alone.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
It was fine if he didn¡¯t apany her to the hospital, but now he wouldn¡¯t even go to the old mansion with her?
They weren¡¯t even married yet. What would happen if they got married?
After hanging up, Feng Jia asked the secretary who was driving, ¡°How¡¯s Shen Shan¡¯s investigation going?¡±
The secretary replied, ¡°Shen Shan¡¯s parents divorced when he was young, and he grew up with his grandparents. He went to prison more than ten years ago, and his grandfather passed away. Now, there¡¯s only his grandmother left in the family, and she lives on government subsidies. After Shen Shan got out of prison, he only went back to visit his grandmother once. After that, he returned to Haicheng City and stayed in the basement until now.¡±
The secretary added, ¡°This is all that we can find out about him. We can¡¯t find any connection between him and Miss Gu.¡±
Feng Jia said calmly, ¡°He just got out of prison. His grandmother can¡¯t give him much money. Where did he get the money to travel from the capital to Haicheng City? And even if it¡¯s a basement, Haicheng City isn¡¯t cheap either. Who gave him the money? Go check his ount transactions and see if the person who funded him has anything to do with Chuchu.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
*
After dinner at the old mansion, she returned to Jinyuan Residences.
When she arrived, Feng Jia had yet to return.
She thought to herself, her dad and Old Master Feng were both counting on Feng Jia to protect her. Damn it, he wasn¡¯t even here. How could he protect her?
Gu Chu took a shower and applied body lotion before lying on the bed to sleep.
In a daze, she felt a weight on her body, and her neck was burning.
She opened her eyes, and the smell of alcohol filled her nose. She did not know when he had returned, and her nightgown had been removed.
Although she was not sleeping naked, her nightgown was easy for him to remove.
His kiss fell from her neck to her corbone, and then he went down bit by bit. Gu Chu felt ticklish and avoided him. ¡°Don¡¯t, it¡¯s ticklish...¡±
He pressed down on her arm, not allowing her to push him away. Gu Chu bent her body, and her forehead began to sweat. She called out his name helplessly, ¡°Feng... Feng Jia...¡±
Was he drunk? Why did he suddenly so wild?
In a state of desire, he pressed his body against hers, and attacked her tongue with his.
She was turned over, her back facing up, and her fingers were deeply embedded in the pillow. She was somewhat powerless against him.
Liquid dripped on the white sheets, and soon it was all wet.
She was a little too weak to resist, so she just muttered. He was excited, and there was no sign of him slowing down at all.
Her mind became even heavier...
Chapter 67 - Don’t Be Jealous
Chapter 67: Don¡¯t Be Jealous
Last night, he was probably really drunk. When did he take a shower? When did he return to bed? She had no recollection.
She had already turned into a puddle of mud.
The next day, Gu Chu woke up and saw the crumpled bed sheet. If the aunty saw this, what would she think?
It was all Feng Jia¡¯s fault! She wasn¡¯t the only one who was embarrassed!
After breakfast, Gu Chu remembered something and asked Feng Jia, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to investigate Shen Shan? Did you make any progress?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t found out your connection with him yet,¡± Feng Jia replied.
¡°Oh.¡±
Feng Jia also remembered something and asked, ¡°Did you go to the hospital for a check-up yesterday afternoon?¡±
¡°No,¡± Gu Chu answered honestly.
Feng Jia frowned. ¡°Did you forget about the pain after you recovered? Why didn¡¯t you go?¡±
¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when Ie back from the capital. My mind is filled with the Sky Garden Project. I even dreamed about itst night.¡±
Feng Jia was expressionless. ¡°Do you really care about this project that much?¡±
¡°Of course,¡± Gu Chu exined slowly. ¡°Lin Yu went against the pressure of the board of directors to assign this project to me. I have the responsibility to do it well...¡±
Feeling that something was wrong with his expression, she hurriedly added, ¡°Oh, don¡¯t be jealous. Lin Yu and I know each other very well. It¡¯s just a sibling rtionship. If we really wanted to, we wouldn¡¯t have to wait until now!¡±
Feng Jia:¡± ...¡±
After Gu Chu finished herst bite of dinner, she wiped her lips and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the capital tomorrow. If I¡¯m free, I¡¯ll go to my grandfather¡¯s house and ask him to help me check Shen Shan¡¯s background.¡±
¡°Going to the capital? With Lin Yu?¡±
¡°Yeah, didn¡¯t you ask before?¡± Gu Chu rolled her eyes at him.
Then, she said, ¡°Take your time. I¡¯m going to thepany.¡±
After Feng Jia arrived at thepany, he found a few projects that were pending approval on his desk.
The secretary brought him a cup of coffee and said to him, ¡°These are all thepanies that hope to get the Feng Corporation¡¯s investment. The evaluation team has reviewed them and they think it¡¯s okay. Please take a look.¡±
When Feng Jia heard this, he flipped through each and every one of them. He stopped at one of them and said, ¡°Ask the person in charge of this project toe and see me.¡±
The secretary nced at it. It was Hurricane Manufacturing. She nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
*
The ne ticket to the capital was booked for tomorrow afternoon.
Gu Chu thought that she should finish her work earlier today so that she could go back and pack her luggage.
She was busy until noon, and she was a little hungry. Just as she was thinking about where to go for lunch, her secretary knocked on the door and came in. ¡°Director, President Xu from Hurricane Manufacturing wants to see you. He¡¯s in the conference room right now.¡±
Hurricane Manufacturing?
It was already 12:30 pm. wasn¡¯t it not a good time for him toe now?
Gu Corporation owned a chain of resort hotels. Among them, the most famous one was the man-made hot springs. The one who made the hot springs was Hurricane Manufacturing, an important partner of Gu Corporation.
However, why was President Xu looking for her at this time for no reason?
As soon as President Xu entered the office, Gu Chu stood up and shook his hand. ¡°President Xu, why are you here at this time? Why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance? Have you had lunch? Come with me.¡±
President Xu, however, showed a guilty expression and said, ¡°Director Gu, You¡¯re too polite. Actually, I¡¯m here to apologize to you.¡±
¡°Apologize?¡± Gu Chu¡¯s smile disappeared.
President Xu said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that we can¡¯t fulfill the contract we signed with yourpany. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°Ourpany received an export order three months ago. It was originally scheduled to bepleted this month, but there was a problem with our production line and we¡¯re still waiting for it to be fixed. We tried to negotiate with the foreignpany, and they agreed that we could postpone it to next month. Even so, we still don¡¯t have enough time, and yourpany¡¯s order is due next month. We really can¡¯t make it..¡±
He paused for a moment, then said, ¡°So, I¡¯m afraid that yourpany¡¯s order can not bepleted.¡±
Gu Chu said with a dark face, ¡°So, you gave our order to the foreignpany?¡±
He did not say anything, but he did not deny it.
The hot spring machine was arge machine, and the construction period was at least half a year. They had originally set the delivery date for next month. Logically speaking, it should have been almostpleted by now. But now, he said that the order had to be given to anotherpany?
Gu Chu took a deep breath. ¡°This is a breach of contract!¡±
President Xu hurriedly said, ¡°Director Gu, don¡¯t worry. Ourpany will pay the penalty ording to the contract.¡±
Chapter 68 - He Could be Loving Sometimes
Chapter 68: He Could be Loving Sometimes
¡°This is not just a matter of penalty!¡± Gu Chu¡¯s anger instantly red up.
¡°Ourpany runs hotels, and our main focus is the hot spring project, and the hot spring machine is the most important equipment. Our contract with the original supplier will expire next month, and at that time, we will rece all the hot spring machines in our hotels. Therefore, ourpany had ced an order with yourpany six months in advance.¡±
¡°The contract is about to expire, but now you are telling me that you can¡¯tplete it?¡±
She tried hard to suppress her anger. ¡°You came so suddenly. Where are we going to find a supplier for our new project? If we can¡¯t find one, ourpany will either break the contract with the original partner or the hotel will stop the hot spring project. How are you going topensate us for these losses?¡±
President Xu sighed. ¡°If yourpany has any objections to thepensation, then we will go through legal procedures.¡±
Gu Chu was furious. ¡°You!¡±
President Xu looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He straightened his sleeves and turned around to leave.
The secretary heard everything from outside the door. She quickly ran in and said anxiously, ¡°Director Gu, what should we do about this? Where are we going to find a recement now?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s head also hurt a little. She had never thought that this would be a problem before she nned to go to the capital!
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Feng Jia.
Gu Chu answered impatiently.
He said calmly ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch together. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital for a check up in the afternoon.¡±
How could Gu Chu still have the mood to have the mood? She pinched the space between her eyebrows and said to him in a calm voice, ¡°I¡¯m not going. My body is fine.¡±
Feng Jia disagreed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to the capital? You can go after you have your body checked to prevent any idents from happening.¡±
idents? A major ident had happened right now!
She said, ¡°I have something urgent to do, so I¡¯m not getting my body checked. See youter.¡±
With that, she hung up.
/
Feng Jia was stunned when he heard the busy tone from the other side.
*
Hurricane Manufacturing¡¯s breach of contract came very suddenly, but Gu Chu quickly calmed down. She instructed her secretary, ¡°Weren¡¯t there still a few who made it into the final selection in the previous bidding? Bring me their information.¡±
When they had presented the project, they had received nearly a hundred bids and had gone through many rounds of selection before they chose Hurricane Manufacturing.
Now that they breached the contract, it seemed like they would have to look at otherpanies.
The secretary quickly found the information and sent it to her.
She flipped through it and frowned. ¡°These are not very good. The quality is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and there have even been cases of customers being scalded.¡±
The secretary said, ¡°These have all been rejected by us because of the quality problem. For those who didn¡¯t have that problem, they need time to fulfil the orders. Even if we ce them now, the earliest delivery time would be three to four months.¡±
So long?
This was indeed a big problem, but if she could solve it..
Gu Chu put her hands on her waist and walked to the ss window. She looked at the top of the tower and was deep in thought.
The secretary asked nervously, ¡°Director, should we inform the legal department to sue Hurricane Manufacturing?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no rush for the prosecution. You should inform the hotel manager in the capital first. We¡¯ll have a video conference at 2:30 in the afternoon to discuss it.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu said again, ¡°Tell the chairman about this.¡±
The secretary was stunned. ¡°Now?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
The secretary had been by Gu Chu¡¯s side for two years, which was neither long nor short, but she knew Gu Chu¡¯s temper a little.
She had a strong sense of responsibility in her work. Usually, when there was a problem, she would solve it by herself. She rarely asked for help from the higher-ups. In the past, when there was a simr situation, she would solve it by herself before reporting it to the higher-ups. What was going on today?
The secretary returned. ¡°Director?¡±
¡°Yes?¡± Gu Chu was processing the documents and did not even raise her head.
The secretary said, ¡°Someone is waiting for you in the conference room.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s hand froze. She asked, ¡°Who is it?¡±
If it was a business partner, she would consider whether to meet them.
It was Feng Jia¡¯s secretary.
She was carrying a takeout bag in her hand. ¡°Miss Gu, this is the lunch that Director Feng asked me to deliver for you.¡±
Just this?
So, Feng Jia was afraid that she would forget to eat when she was busy, so he asked his secretary toe over?
Actually, he knew her quite well.
Gu Chu said, ¡°Thank you for the trouble.¡±
The secretary nodded. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go now.¡±
Gu Chu asked her secretary to send her off.
After sending her off, the secretary came back and said with sparkling eyes, ¡°CEO Feng is so thoughtful!¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s mouth slightly curved. He was finally thoughtful for once.
He could be loving sometimes.
Chapter 69 - Solution
Chapter 69: Solution
After lunch, at 2:30 pm, Gu Chu held a video conference and told the three hotel managers about the breach of contract.
The three managers couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. ¡°This is uneptable! How can they be like this? What about our Hot Spring Project?¡±
After they finished scolding, Gu Chu slowly said, ¡°The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the hot spring machines.¡±
A manager said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we ask Meiyang to extend the deadline?¡±
Meiyang was the previous supplier of the hot spring machines.
At this juncture, extending the contract was indeed the best way to reduce the losses.
However, Gu Chu frowned and said, ¡°There is no way Meiyang and I will cooperate a second time. This idea is rejected.¡±
The three of them were silent.
They did not agree with Gu Chu¡¯s attitude. Now is not the time.
Was Director Gu sure that she was not throwing a childish tantrum?
What did she mean when she said they can¡¯t cooperate? How did Meiyang offend her?
As long as it was not some vendetta for killing her father, it should be negotiable.
However, when Gu Chu made this decision, she was still the only daughter of the chairman. The chairman had allowed her to do as she pleased.
It could be said that this problem was caused by Gu Chu¡¯s wilful decision back then.
Gu Chu could see that they were dissatisfied with her decision, but she was toozy to exin. She asked, ¡°Do you have any other ideas? Is there any otherpany who can supply us on short notice?¡±
A sudden thought shed through one of them. ¡°Shengyan?¡±
The other two echoed, ¡°Yes! Shengyan is thergest supplier of hot spring machines in the country. They must have some stock. Perhaps we can also take some orders. That might work!¡±
In that case, Shengyan was probably a better partner.
/
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Then why did we reject Shengyan?¡±
One smiled bitterly. ¡°It¡¯s probably because the price is too high.¡±
Another said, ¡°But in this case, we can only suck it up and sue Hurricane Manufacturing forpensationter.¡±
It seemed like that was all they could do.
After the meeting, Gu Chu instructed his secretary, ¡°Find the contact information of Shengyan¡¯s sales manager. What¡¯s his name?¡±
The Secretary thought for a moment and replied, ¡°His name is Zhao Ting. I heard that she often goes to the horse track.¡±
¡°Then ask her if she¡¯s free tomorrow afternoon. I want to ask her out for a ride.¡± Gu Chu thought for a moment and said.
The secretary nodded.
She quickly went to contact Shengyan. The other party agreed to her invitation.
Gu Chu heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she was willing to meet her. At least she did not reject her immediately.
At this moment, the secretary remembered something. ¡°Director, aren¡¯t you going to the capital tomorrow?¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. That¡¯s right.
She had originally nned to go to the capital to inspect the Sky Garden.
This matter had gotten out of hand!
Her ns could not keep up with the changes. This matter hade up so suddenly that she might not be able to go to the capital for the time being.
She sighed. ¡°I won¡¯t be going for now. Let Qiao Qiao take my ce instead.¡±
¡°Then should I contact the Lin Corporation?¡± The secretary asked.
Gu Chu replied, ¡°I¡¯ll talk to them myself.¡±
After the secretary left, she made a call to Lin Yu.
He picked up the call very quickly. Gu Chu did not beat around the bush and said directly, ¡°Lin Yu, I have something to tell you.¡±
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°I might not be able to go to the capital tomorrow. There¡¯s something urgent, so I¡¯ll let someone else lead the team there.¡±
¡°What happened?¡±
¡°Something urgent came up at work, so I can¡¯t leave for now.¡±
When Lin Yu heard that, he had an idea. He quickly asked, ¡°Do you need help?¡±
¡°No need,¡± Gu Chu said. ¡°I can handle it myself, but I can¡¯t leave for now.¡±
All her preparations were for nothing.
Lin Yu nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t put too much pressure on yourself. The project has just started. There will be plenty of opportunities to go on field trips in the future.¡±
¡°Okay. If there are any problems, you can video call me.¡±
Lin Yu said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. I¡¯ll handle it.¡±
¡°Okay, I won¡¯t dy you further.¡±
Gu Chu put down her phone and put the Sky Garden Project aside for the time being. She picked up the documents about the hot spring machines and read them.
Not long after, the chairman¡¯s secretary called and asked her to go up.
Naturally, it was about the hot spring machines. Mr. Gu asked her, ¡°Is there any problem?¡±
Gu Chu told Mr. Gu about the progress. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll talk to Shengyan and won¡¯t cause any losses to thepany.¡±
Mr. Gu said, ¡°I hope to get the exact reply next Monday.¡±
Gu Chu thought that the chairman was quite difficult to deal with.
There were only three days until Monday, and the weekend wasing up.
Chapter 70 - They Have No Chemistry
Chapter 70: They Have No Chemistry
On thewn, a golf ball flew dozens of meters andnded near the hole.
Lu Shen looked at the tall figure who was swinging his club and squinted his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re in a good mood this afternoon. What happened? Share the good news.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t sessfully getting Game World a good news?¡±
Lu Shen was a little confused. ¡°It¡¯s just an investment. Are you so happy that you are ying golf on a weekday afternoon?¡±
The news is not that great, is it?
Feng Jia changed to another golf club and asked in, ¡°So, Game World isn¡¯t good enough?¡±
Lu Shen couldn¡¯t help butugh. It wasn¡¯t that.
Game World was a local gamingpany. They had recently developed a mobile game, and the results were pretty good. It was ranked in the top five of the global mobile game revenue rankings. The increase in user demands had far exceeded their expectations, so thepany sought external investment.
Once the news was released, many big gamingpanies took action, especially Penguin Co. They were determined to get a share of Game World.
Although the Feng Corporation and the Lu Corporation were not in the same industry, they were also interested. Seeing the future development prospects, Feng Jia talked to Lu Shenst weekend and decided to work together and won against Penguin Co. Both of them took 30% of Game World¡¯s shares and became thergest shareholders.
Of course, this strategic cooperation was likely to be a stepping stone for them to enter the gaming industry. Their ambitions were not limited to this.
Lu Shen said leisurely, ¡°It seems that you have great expectations for Game World. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t joke about it.¡±
Feng Jia smiled but did not say anything. He walked towards his ball.
Lu Shen followed him. ¡°The CEO of Game World wille to Haicheng Citytomorrow and stay at the Gu Corporation¡¯s hotel. We can treat them to a meal to discuss more about it.¡±
Feng Jia nodded.
Lu Shen asked again, ¡°By the way, did something happen to my cousin that night? I tried to call her but she didn¡¯t pick up. I heard some news.¡±
/
¡°She might not have time to pick up your call right now. Don¡¯t worry, it was a close call. She was not hurt,¡± Feng Jia replied.
Lu Shen frowned. ¡°Who is he?¡±
Feng Jia shook his head. ¡°We¡¯re still investigating.¡±
¡°Do you need my help?¡±
¡°Not yet.¡±
*
After work, Gu Chu remembered Feng Jia¡¯s loving lunch at noon, so she drove to Feng Corporation.
When she arrived at Feng Corporation¡¯s building, she called Feng Jia in a good mood. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m downstairs at your office. I¡¯m here to pick you up from work!¡±
He said, ¡°I¡¯m already on my way home.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
They had no chemistry at all. It was rare for her to pick him up from work.
After Feng Jia hung up the phone, he nced around and saw a red dress through the ss window on the third floor of a mall.
His gaze was fixed on it and he instructed his secretary to go to that mall.
He went up to the third floor and to the shop selling that dress.
When the salesperson saw an elegant male customering in, she immediately asked warmly, ¡°Hello, sir. How may I help you?¡±
Feng Jia pointed at the red dress and said, ¡°I want that one.¡±
The salesperson smiled happily. ¡°This is the dress featured in this year¡¯s Paris Fashion Week. It was initially reserved by a customer, but there was a mistake and this dress was mixed up with another dress. It was supposed to be sent to the capital but it was sent to Haicheng City instead.¡±
¡°The customer in the capital returned the order because they received items that were not reserved by them, so this dress was left here. It was only disyed 15 minutes ago. We nned to contact a few regr customers, but you came just in time.¡±
¡°If you hade a few minutester, you might not have seen it.¡±
She talked nonstop as she packed. Feng Jia thought that it looked good. Gu Chu would definitely look good in it.
Because he had gone shopping, Feng Jia returned to Jinyuan Residences a few minutester than Gu Chu.
In the living room, Gu Chu was already a little impatient. When he returned, she looked at him with a faint smile. ¡°The man imed to be on his way home, but he came home seven minutester. So, where did he go during these seven minutes?¡±
Feng Jia waved the bag in his hand. ¡°I bought something for you.¡±
Gu Chu looked at the brand and clicked her tongue. It¡¯s from a luxurious brand.
More importantly, she didn¡¯t think that he would ever go shopping.
Chapter 71 - The Red Dress He Bought
Chapter 71: The Red Dress He Bought
Gu Chu opened the box full of anticipation. A red sling dress was in the box.
She took it out and raised her eyebrows slightly. He actually bought her a dress?
Moreover, it was a low-cut dress that exposed her back.
She tilted her head to look at him in confusion. He pulled down his bow tie and said, ¡°Try it on.¡±
She raised her eyebrows. ¡°Here?¡±
In living room. It didn¡¯t seem like a bad idea.
He nodded.
He had no reservations at all.
He had no shame, so why should she?
While she took off her coat, Feng Jia had already pressed the remote control for the curtains, and the floor-to-ceiling curtains were slowly closed.
Gu Chu quickly took off all her clothes, leaving only her underwear
Feng Jia looked at her body from head to toe with his dark eyes. Her breasts were perky, perfectly molded by the bra, and her abdomen was t. Perhaps it was because she was shy, but she turned her body to face her back to him. Under her slender neck was a pair of beautiful butterfly bones, and below that was her slim waist. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed.
The skirt he chose was not long, only reaching her thighs. She turned around, revealing her slender legs.
He was fascinated by it, but at this moment, she teased him. ¡°Does it look good?¡±
He did not answer.
Gu Chu said again, ¡°You chose the skirt. If it doesn¡¯t look good, it¡¯s your fault.¡±
He took two steps forward, pulled down his tie, and approached her with a strong scent of male pheromones.
There was a hint of danger.
She subconsciously stepped back and said fiercely, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡±
The next second, he grabbed her waist, and sealed her lips. As their lips and tongues intertwined, she heard him say, ¡°It¡¯s beautiful.¡±
Then, his hand moved up her thigh bit by bit.
Did he have to touch everything that¡¯s beautiful?
It seemed that he had to.
Her body went soft, and she was supported by him to sit on the sofa. Her hands hooked around his neck, and the sound of them kissing filled the living room. Her ears started to turn red.
She heard a click, followed by the sound of a belt being unhooked. She squeezed his fingers tightly, leaving his lips slightly, and said in a low voice, ¡°Can we go to the bed?¡±
¡°No.¡± He refused immediately.
They had not tried it on the sofa in the living room.
There was limited space on the sofa, so she had to curl up. He knew her body too well. Soon, the sound of wet flesh pping against each other was mixed with her low moans. She arched her neck, and her body trembled helplessly in his hands.
He flipped her over, her back facing up. She could feel him invading her body. She bit her lower lip, and her fingernails almost dug into the leather sofa.
He did not even take off her skirt. The two straps swayed with his rhythm. One was still clinging to her shoulder, and the other had already slipped down.
His hand moved up her waist, and he bent down. His thin lips pressed against her ear, and he sighed. ¡°Chuchu, you¡¯re so beautiful...¡±
His voice was hoarse and sexy. Gu Chu¡¯s face turned red when she heard it. When she asked him just now, he kept silent. Now, he couldn¡¯t stopplimenting her.
She grabbed his hand and could not stand his pounding anymore. Her scalp went numb and her fingertips began to tremble. She said intermittently, ¡°Feng... Feng Jia, be... gentle...¡±
He chuckled. ¡°Is that so?¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, he sped up.
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
What a bastard!
Only after the incident did she realize that Feng Jia had bought her the dress for this.
The dress was a little wrinkled, but it could still be worn after washing.
When she was lying on the bed, she was so sleepy that she yawned in his arms and was about to fall asleep.
He hugged her in his arms and asked with satisfaction, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you had something urgent to do at work? Why are you back so early?¡±
¡°Can we do this if I hadn¡¯te back early?¡± Gu Chu said weakly ¡°I did encounter some problems, but they can¡¯t be solved today. Let¡¯s see tomorrow.¡±
¡°What problems?¡±
There was no harm in telling him. Gu Chu closed her eyes and told him about Hurricane Co.¡¯s breach of contract.
When Feng Jia heard this, he asked her, ¡°Can¡¯t you renew the contract with your previous partners?¡±
His thoughts were the same as the managers¡¯.
She grunted, ¡°No!¡±
She was no longer just dissatisfied with Meiyang, but resented them.
She had never concealed it.
He asked, ¡°Why? Is the quality not good?¡±
Chapter 72 - I Have Other Intentions
Chapter 72: I Have Other Intentions
That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Mei Yang had always ced great emphasis on quality and they were known for their quality. Besides, if it¡¯s a problem with quality, her attitude wouldn¡¯t be like this.
Gu Chu repliedzily, ¡°It¡¯s not a quality issue.¡±
¡°Then what is it?¡± He was curious.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t say anything.
Feng Jia looked at her. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s confidential.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
He stopped asking.
Feng Jia changed the topic. ¡°Then are you still going to the capital tomorrow?¡±
¡°No.¡± She closed her eyes, and her voice became softer, as if she was talking to herself, ¡°Tomorrow, I have an appointment with Shengyan¡¯s sales manager, Zhao Ting, for horse-riding. Shengyan is thergest manufacturer of hot spring machines in the country. They might have some in stock, so they might be able to help us...¡±
As she spoke, she fell asleep.
Feng Jia, who was hugging her, smiled a little. Then, he kissed her on the forehead lovingly.
This kiss woke her up.
/
She raised her head to look at him. She though that he seemed to be very happy.
Facing her inquisitive gaze, he gave her a suggestion. ¡°Ask your father to go. Shengyan will definitely give your father face.¡±
Gu Chu blinked. ¡°Only a three-year-old child would look for their parents whenever there¡¯s a problem. Moreover, as the chairman of the Gu Corporation, how could he personally settle such a small matter? Wouldn¡¯t that be very embarrassing? Would you personally go to the client to plead for such a matter?¡±
Feng Jia did not answer.
She said firmly, ¡°In any case, I will resolve this matter myself.¡±
Feng Jia could tell that there was something fishy about this. She was too enthusiastic. It didn¡¯t seem like it was just for the sake of the Gu Corporation?
He patted her back. ¡°You have other intentions, don¡¯t you?¡±
Feng Jia knew her quite well.
She admitted openly, ¡°Yes, although this matter is a little difficult to handle, if I manage to handle it well, then I will be able to take credits. The shareholders and the higher-ups will will look at me in a different light. Then, no matter how much Gu Wan pretends to be pitiful, it won¡¯t beparable to my actual achievements!¡±
This was also the reason why she had gone against her usual behavior and reported this matter to the higher-ups.
The announcement was to make the matter as serious as it could be before she solved it. Only then would she be able to show off her contribution.
Feng Jia curled her lips. ¡°Smart.¡±
The invisible tail behind Gu Chu swayed. ¡°Of course.¡±
She was no fool. She had to be cautious. Otherwise, how could she defeat Gu Wan?
She buried her head in his neck. ¡°Go to sleep.¡±
*
The next afternoon, Gu Chu brought her secretary to the equestrian club to meet Zhao Ting.
Gu Chu usually did not fight unprepared battles. Before meeting Zhao Ting, she had gotten to know her better.
She realized that Zhao Ting actually had an interesting background.
It was rumored that her rtionship with CEO Sheng Yan was not ordinary. Some said that she was a mistress, while others that she was an illegitimate daughter.
Whether it was true or not, there was no way to find out.
Ever since she graduated, she joined Sheng Yan and immediately became the CEO¡¯s secretary. After that, she went to the sales department.
It was good training to be in the sales department. It One could meet various clients every day and expand one¡¯swork. It was one of the most important departments in thepany. For her to be the sales manager, it was clear that she was a capable person.
But did they think that she had something going on with the boss based on just this?
Gu Chu thought that it was biased.
After all, she had seen her resume. She had graduated from a famous university overseas and had performed very well in school.
Besides, CEO Sheng Yan was not a fool. No matter how much he doted on his mistress, he would not risk his family business and let her hold such an important position.
¡°Miss Gu.¡± The horse trainer walked over and called out to her.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Long time no see.¡±
¡°Long time no see.¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°How¡¯s Vader?¡±
The horse trainer replied, ¡°He ate and slept well, but he missed you.¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°It better be. I didn¡¯t spend so much money to raise him for nothing.¡±
He pointed in the direction of the stable and said, ¡°He¡¯s over there. I¡¯ll bring you there.¡±
¡°Take my secretary there first. I¡¯ll go change into my riding clothes.¡± Gu Chu turned to look at his secretary.
The secretary nodded.
Gu Chu was a VIP customer here and had her own lounge. She changed into her riding clothes and went to the stables. The secretary was already waiting for her.
Her attention waspletely focused on Vader. She touched the horse that had shiny ck fur all over its body and asked with sparkling eyes, ¡°Director, can I ride it?¡±
This horse was raised by Gu Chu.
Although they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a while, it still recognized her. It moved its head closer, and Gu Chu reached out to touch its head.
¡°I¡¯m afraid not. It might look tame, but it has a big temper. Strangers aren¡¯t allowed to ride it.¡±
The secretary didn¡¯t mind. ¡°It looks so handsome.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Right? I picked it out of the first batch of pure-breeds!¡±
Chapter 73 - She was Unlike What the Rumors Said About Her
Chapter 73: She was Unlike What the Rumors Said About Her
¡°What breed is it?¡± The secretary scratched her head. ¡°I¡¯ve only heard of a Ferghana horse. Is there such a breed?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Gu Chu replied. ¡°My cousin has a Ferghana horse. When he brought it back from abroad, the freight alone was seven figures.¡±
The secretary was dumbfounded.
Gu Chu teased Vader while asking the secretary, ¡°Why don¡¯t I ask the horse trainer to find a tame pony for you to ride?¡±
The secretary waved her hand. ¡°No.¡±
They yed with Vader for a while. The secretary had sharp eyes. When she saw a woman riding a horse, she recognized her immediately. ¡°In the middle, that¡¯s President Zhao.¡±
Gu Chu looked over. Zhao Ting also looked in their direction. She touched Vader and led him out. Stepping on the stirrups, she got on the horse quickly.
Before she left, she didn¡¯t forget to turn around and say to her secretary, ¡°I ordered a bunch of flowers. They¡¯ll be here soon. Remember to sign for them.¡±
After that, she put her legs on the horse¡¯s belly. ¡°Go!¡±
The trainer trained Vader every day. It had a strong body and soon caught up with Zhao Ting.
Zhao Ting was about the same age as Gu Chu. She had a pretty face and wore a brown riding outfit. Riding on a white horse, she looked valiant but gentle.
When she saw her horse, a hint of surprise shed in her eyes. Then, she signaled to Gu Chu with her eyes, ¡°How about a round?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not fair. Let¡¯s just ride it.¡±
Her horse was just an ordinary horse. It couldn¡¯t outrun hers.
Zhao Ting said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I want to see how powerful this pure-blooded horse is.¡±
Since she said so, she didn¡¯t stand on ceremony anymore. The two of them retreated to the same starting line. As the referee blew his whistle, two figures, one ck and one brown, rushed out.
The club had specially set up obstacles on the grasnd. Vader usually trained here, so he skillfully crossed the obstacles and went straight to the finish line.
Therefore, it was obvious who won.
Zhao Ting pulled the reins and lost generously. Sheplimented her sincerely, ¡°Director Gu¡¯s horsemanship is good.¡±
Gu Chu smoothed the mane on the horse¡¯s back and said to her, ¡°This horse is trained regrly and kept in its best condition. Even without me, it can win by itself. You are being polite.¡±
Zhao Ting said with surprise, ¡°Director Gu, you are not like what the rumors said about you.¡±
Gu Chu was rumored to be an arrogant youngdy.
Gu Chu was even more surprised when she heard this. She was obviously a flower ofHaicheng City, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was the tyrant?
She said, ¡°I came here with sincerity so that you have a good impression on me.¡±
She then changed the topic.
Zhao Ting understood. ¡°You didn¡¯t just ask me to ride a horse with you today, did you?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t beat around the bush. Gu Corporation urgently needs 180 hot spring machines. I wonder if Shengyan has them?¡±
¡°Of course. It¡¯s our honor to work with Gu Corporation. You can ce the order immediately,¡± Zhao Ting replied.
Gu Chu emphasized, ¡°The Gu corporation hopes to get it next month.¡±
Zhao Ting was stunned. Next month?
¡°Director Gu, aren¡¯t you being too hard on us? That many hot spring machines will take at least three months toplete them. We can¡¯t hand over the unfinished goods to you, can we?¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°We can¡¯t wait three months.¡±
Zhao Ting narrowed her eyes. ¡°Director Gu, is the Gu Corporation in trouble?¡±
¡°She¡¯s quite sharp,¡± Gu Chu thought.
They were on the hillside at the moment, so they didn¡¯t notice that there were three men slowly riding toward them.
Two of the men suddenly stopped when they saw them.
Lu Shen narrowed his eyes and recognized the figure not far away. He said to Feng Jia, ¡°No wonder you wanted to meet here. It¡¯s because of my cousin.¡±
His tone instantly became yful. ¡°You can¡¯t be apart?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence.¡±
Who would believe that!
They were meeting CEO Li who was traveling around the world today. Previously, they had agreed to meet at a hotel, but Feng Jia changed his mind at thest minute and said that he would bring him to the equestrian club.
Lu Shen was still wondering why Feng Jia had been going out every day recently? So it was for Chu Chu.
The third man was President Li. He was good at developing games, but he was an amateur when it came to riding horses. Now that he was on a horse, his body was awkward. But Feng Jia and Lu Shen were excited, so he could not say much.
Chapter 74 - The Horse Went Crazy
Chapter 74: The Horse Went Crazy
When President Li heard their conversation, he forced augh. ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s CEO Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Miss Gu?¡±
Lu Shen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why, you know about it too?¡±
CEO Li pursed his lips into a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of her. She¡¯s the eldest daughter of the Gu family, right?¡±
Gu Chu had been the eldest daughter of the Gu family for twenty years. Lu Shen didn¡¯t notice anything wrong, so he nodded. ¡°Do you want to go over and say hello?¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while. They¡¯re still talking about business.¡±
¡°How do you know they¡¯re talking about business? Are you irvoyant... Kilo! What are you doing?! Stop ¨C¡±
Lu Shen¡¯s horse suddenly went crazy. It ran up the mountain. Lu Shen couldn¡¯t control it even if he tightened the reins!
President Li was shocked. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
Feng Jia frowned and immediately rode up to chase after him.
Gu Chu and Zhao Ting knew nothing about what happened at the foot of the mountain. She was just quietly waiting for her answer.
Zhao Ting looked at Gu Chu. Actually, this was not the first time she had seen her. She had seen her at Mrs. Gu¡¯s birthday party before. That time, she had gone on behalf of Sheng Yan. In her impression, she was a beautiful and pampered youngdy, she had gotten the three socialites drunk on the spot and even made a fool out of them.
She was curious of her intentions when she asked her out for a ride and agreed.
However, after interacting with her today, she realized that she was not as simple as she appeared to be. On the contrary, she knew when to adapt ording to the situation.
At the very least, she could lower herself when necessary, but not too much. After all, she was also representing the Gu Corporation.
Updates by
Gu Chu did a good job at this point. No wonder she had two kinds of reputation.
One was the ¡°pampered heiress¡± in the socialite circle, and the other was the ¡°stern CEO¡± in the business circle.
Zhao Ting thought for a while and said, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible. Shengyan has stock, and some customers haven¡¯te to pick up the goods yet, so it¡¯s okay to give them to the Gu Corporation. But we¡¯re afraid that the customers might suddenlye to pick up the goods, then we will be breaching the contract.¡±
¡°You just said that it¡¯s not impossible. In other words, it¡¯s okay if we meet your conditions?¡± Gu Chu tilted her head and asked.
Zhao Ting said straightforwardly, ¡°We don¡¯t have many conditions. Just one. We want to raise the price.¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°That¡¯s fine. How much?¡±
Zhao Ting said, ¡°Four times.¡±
Gu Chuughed. ¡°Manager Zhao, aren¡¯t you asking too much?¡±
She was asking for four times the price?
Zhao Ting did not just randomly name her price. ¡°180 units are not few. In the entire country, I reckon that only Shengyan can supply the goods. We have the advantage.¡±
¡°Four times is too much.¡± Gu Chu looked into her eyes. ¡°Increase the price by 30% for each unit, how about that?¡±
Zhao Ting smiled. ¡°Just 30%? You¡¯re shing it to less than half the proposed price?¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°It¡¯s not too little. We asked for 180 units in one go. In the future, Gu Corporation will order from Shengyan again.¡±
¡°Back then, it wasn¡¯t that our Shengyan didn¡¯t bid for the contract. At that time, we were rejected in the second round. Now that you guys are in urgent need of goods, you thought of Shengyan. After you solved this problem, will you still work with us? This is just a one-time deal,¡± She smiled, ¡°Director Gu, I¡¯m different from you. At most, I¡¯m just an employee. Don¡¯t try to fool me. It won¡¯t be easy for me to report to the higher-ups.¡±
At this moment, Lu Shen¡¯s shout came from not far away, ¡°Get out of the way!¡±
Gu Chu looked up and eximed, ¡°Be careful!¡±
Zhao Ting turned around and saw a golden horse running toward her. Her heart skipped a beat and she couldn¡¯t dodge in time.
The horse under her somehow felt the call of the other horse and turned around to run toward it!
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes. If the two horses collided, the impact would be quite strong. Zhao Ting would definitely be knocked down!
She immediately grabbed her reins and circled her hands a few times. Then, she pulled hard in her own direction. At the same time, Lu Shen also pulled the reins in the opposite direction, trying to separate the two horses.
However, they were not professional horse trainers. Moreover, Gu Chu was a woman. How could she be a match for a rogue horse?
In the end, Zhao Ting fell off the horse while Gu Chu almost fell off. Fortunately, Feng Jia arrived in time and grabbed her hand to stabilize the horse.
The two horses leaned against each other intimately and finally settled down.
Lu Shen immediately jumped off the horse and helped Zhao Ting up from the grass. ¡°Are you okay? Did you get hurt?¡±
Chapter 75 - Unharmed
Chapter 75: Unharmed
Zhao Ting felt a little dizzy when she was helped up from the grass. She was even more stunned when she met the caring eyes of a strange man.
Lu Shen thought that she had suffered a serious injury and was about to pick her up. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡±
Zhao Ting came back to her senses and pushed his arm away. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Fortunately, there was a lot of grass where she fell. It was just a little painful, but it was not a big deal.
However, Lu Shen was still worried. ¡°It¡¯s safer to go to the hospital.¡±
¡°Really, there¡¯s no need.¡± The man had a strong presence and she pushed his arm away. ¡°I am not hurt. There¡¯s no need to go to the hospital.¡±
After being pushed away, Lu Shen saw her stand up with ease. He was relieved, but he still apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t control my horse well.¡±
Gu Chu also got off the horse and ran to Zhao Ting¡¯s side. She looked her up and down. ¡°Manager Zhao, are you okay?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±
Gu Chu turned around and asked Lu Shen, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? If you identally hurt Shengyan¡¯s sales manager, how are you going to pay for it!¡±
Of course, this was a disguised introduction of Zhao Ting¡¯s identity.
Lu Shen smiled bitterly. ¡°How would I know that Kilo would go crazy all of a sudden?¡± Then, he looked at Zhao Ting, ¡°Manager Zhao, I¡¯m sorry. If you are injured, please contact me. I¡¯ll take full responsibility.¡±
Zhao Ting had seen him on some asions and knew his background. She said, ¡°CEO Lu, you don¡¯t have to keep apologizing. I¡¯m really fine and I don¡¯t need you to take responsibility. It was just an ident.¡±
At this time, the horse trainer also rushed over and apologized profusely.
Lu Shen looked at the horse trainer. ¡°Kilo has always been obedient. Why did it suddenly lose control?¡±
¡°It seems to be in heat. It¡¯s easier to lose control at this time. I forgot to mention it. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±
Everyone: ¡°...¡±
That was it?
However, when they saw the horses that were intimately leaning against each other, they immediately found it funny.
Gu Chu touched the Kilo. Its fur was light gold, and it was even more beautiful under the sun. It had a different kind of beauty.
Vader was a little jealous when he saw her touching other horses. He raised his hooves and walked toward her.
Just as he was about to bump into her back, Feng Jia pulled the reins. He snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Gu Chu heard the noise and looked over. She nced at Feng Jia, then at Lu Shen, and then at Feng Jia. She was confused
Feng Jia looked at her indifferently, as if asking, ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Are you guys here to ride horses?¡±
On a Friday afternoon, two men were here to ride horses?
Feng Jia was not interested in riding horses with her before.
Gu Chu recalled that Feng Jia had abandoned herst weekend to look for Lu Shen. Why were the two of them so close?
Lu Shen exined, ¡°We¡¯re here to meet a client.¡±
Oh, Gu Chu asked curiously, ¡°Which client?¡±
Lu Shen said, ¡°Don¡¯t be rude. Don¡¯t ask about otherpanies¡¯ business.¡±
Gu Chu said nonchntly, ¡°Oh no, my fianc¨¦ and my cousin are keeping secrets from me again!¡±
Lu Shen smiled helplessly.
She had a task, so she didn¡¯t n to continue talking to them. Instead, she wanted to continue discussing business with Zhao Ting elsewhere.
At that moment, President Li huffed and puffed as he rode his horse up the hill.
Although he was exhausted, he greeted Gu Chu cheerfully as soon as he arrived. ¡°Hello. I believe you must be CEO Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e, Miss Gu?¡±
Gu Chu replied politely, ¡°Hello.¡±
Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that Miss Gu Wan is as beautiful as a flower. Now that I¡¯ve seen her today, she really lives up to her reputation.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Gu Wan?
Everyone else: ¡°...¡±
President Li didn¡¯t notice the change in everyone¡¯s expressions, like he was still talking to himself, ¡°Miss Gu Wan and CEO Feng are really a match made in heaven. The two new characters in our mobile game are based on the two of you. In the past two days, they¡¯ve received good reviews from most yers!¡±
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes. So in the game, Feng Jia and Gu Wan were a couple?
Hehe.
So she had topete with her both in real life and in a game?
Gu Chu smiled but did not say anything.
When President Li saw her smile, he thought that she wanted to try the game, so he asked, ¡°Are you interested in the game?It is called...¡±
Lu Shen could not take it anymore, so he quickly coughed to stop him from continuing.
This time, President Li sensed something and looked at him.
Lu Shen then said something that made him break out in cold sweat, ¡°She¡¯s not Gu Wan.¡±
Chapter 76 - Prank
Chapter 76: Prank
Ah?!
She¡¯s not Gu Wan?
What does that mean?
President Li finally realized that the atmosphere was not right, so he said, ¡°Did I make a mistake? But CEO Lu and CEO Feng also said that it¡¯s Miss Gu Wan just now...¡±
Feng Jia and Lu Shen: ¡°?¡±
Gu Chu looked at them with a faint smile. ¡°You said that I¡¯m Gu Wan?¡±
Everyone knew that Gu Wan was Gu Chu¡¯s minefield. If others thought she was Gu Wan, which meant that Gu Wan was Feng Jia¡¯s fianc¨¦e, she would definitely explode at that moment.
However, this was really just President Li¡¯s mistake.
Lu Shen touched his nose. ¡°I thought that he was referring to you when he said the older Miss Gu, so I agreed.¡±
At that time, hepletely forgot that after Gu Wan came back, Gu Wan was the elder one, and Gu Chu became the second miss.
Lu Shen solemnly introduced Gu Chu to President Li, ¡°This is Gu Chu, the second miss of the Gu family, Feng Jia¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
When CEO Li heard this, he swallowed his saliva. He felt as if he had just jumped around in a minefield.
He was about to cry, ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that CEO Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e is the eldest miss of the Gu family. I also heard that the eldest miss of the Gu family is named Gu Wan. That¡¯s why I thought you were her. Miss Gu Chu, I¡¯m really sorry. I made a mistake.¡±
Gu Chu smiled as she walked to Vader¡¯s side. She smiled magnanimously. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You¡¯ve already said it. It¡¯s a misunderstanding.¡±
Feng Jia and Lu Shen were both surprised that she was so easy to talk to this time. It didn¡¯t seem like her.
However, her next sentence was, ¡°President Li¡¯s horse riding is not bad. Why don¡¯t we have a race?¡±
Well, she was still the same.
It was not like she had not seen President Li stagger up just now. He took so much effort, how could she say that it was not bad?
President Li was terrified and kept waving his hand. ¡°No, I don¡¯t know how to ride a horse.¡±
Gu Chu continued tough. ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to ride a horse, why did youe to the equestrian club? Or do you not want to humor me?¡±
¡°Of course not. I really don¡¯t know how to ride a horse.¡± President Li looked at CEO Feng for help. CEO Feng was expressionless. He looked at President Lu and he gazed elsewhere.
No way! Are they abandoning him?
Gu Chu jumped onto the horse. ¡°It¡¯s just a casual race. We¡¯re not professionals, so we don¡¯t have to be so particr about it.¡±
President Li had no choice, so he gritted his teeth. ¡°Alright!¡±
Gu Chu rode to his side and took a look at the horse he was riding. It was a Kabardin horse, one of the most docile and stable horses in the world. After training, it was notmon for people to be thrown off the horse.
Very good. It was perfect for a prank.
She smiled and said, ¡°President Li, have you grasped the reins?¡±
CEO Li did not understand. ¡°Ah?¡±
So he obediently held them.
Suddenly, Gu Chu whipped his horse¡¯s butt. ¡°Hyah!¡±
The horse immediately galloped forward. President Li, who was on the horse¡¯s back, cried out in fear, ¡°Ah! ! !¡±
Lu Shen looked at Gu Chu, who was being mean. ¡°He just identally recognized the wrong person. Why are you messing with him?¡±
Gu Chu waved her ponytail nonchntly. ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s my fault for not being as sensible as Gu Wan. It¡¯s not the first time you¡¯ve met me. I¡¯m very calctive!¡±
Lu Shen quickly raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.
Feng Jia gave his horse to the trainer and asked him to keep an eye on President Li. Although the Kabardins were more docile, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t want to talk to Feng Jia and Lu Shen, so she looked at Zhao Ting and asked, ¡°Manager Zhao, we haven¡¯t finished talking just now. Why don¡¯t we find a quiet ce to continue?¡±
Zhao Ting agreed, but her horse and the Ferghana horse were inseparable. Now that the trainer wasn¡¯t here, she didn¡¯t know how to separate them.
Moreover, there was still some distance from the rest area, so it wasn¡¯t practical to walk there. Lu Shen tried to separate his horse, but to no avail, so he said, ¡°Let me give you a ride.¡±
Zhao Ting was curious. ¡°How?¡±
Lu Shen said, ¡°Your horse is following mine. We each ride on our own and my horse will lead yours.¡±
It was the only thing they could do now. Zhao Ting nodded.
Lu Shen led the way, while Zhao Ting followed behind.
Gu Chu was about to follow, when a person suddenly sat behind her. It was Feng Jia.
Vader was upset that it had to carry an additional man¡¯s weight, but it didn¡¯t throw the man off because Gu Chu was there.
Gu Chu turned to look at him. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Feng Jia gave his horse to the horse trainer and said, ¡°Take me with you.¡±
Gu Chu hummed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Vader is still a baby. He can¡¯t carry two people.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s hand grabbed her hand and tightened the reins. He said confidently, ¡°He can. You have to believe in him.¡±
Vader began to walk slowly.
Chapter 77 - Don’t Move
Chapter 77: Don¡¯t Move
Gu Chu¡¯s back was pressed against his chest, and she felt the heat from his body. She leaned forward to create some distance. ¡°What if you injure him?¡±
Feng Jia lowered her eyes and nced at the mischievous girl who was probably upset because of President Li¡¯s words. ¡°I can¡¯t even crush you, let alone it.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Her face was red as she shouted, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±
He started to get excited in broad daylight.
He pulled her over and leaned against her. Gu Chu felt something hard pressing against her. She frowned and twisted her body. ¡°Pervert!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± The hot air that he exhaled was beside her ear. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Who are you calling a pervert?¡±
Who else could it be? It¡¯s you!
Gu Chu¡¯s entire face turned red. She felt that it was bing harder, and the two of them were so close to each other.
She said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m going to dismount. You ride on your own.¡±
She tried to rein the horse and dismount, but Feng Jia pulled the reins. He said in a low voice, ¡°Ride one more round. If you dismount, who¡¯s going to block it for me?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
If you¡¯re not afraid of getting hard, why are you afraid of others seeing it.
Lu Shen and Zhao Ting, who had already reached the lounge, saw that the two of them were about to arrive, but changed their direction and went further away.
It waste autumn, and the grasnd was not as green as it had been before. The withered grass and yellow trees, as well as therge area of barend, all looked bleak. The autumn wind blew, and the sun was setting in the distance. The slow ride on the horse also had a different mood.
Feng Jia held her waist and asked, ¡°How did it go with Shengyan?¡±
¡°Not good.¡± Gu Chu was a little helpless. ¡°Can you not talk to me now?¡±
He should focus on calming down first.
He curled his lips into a smile. ¡°I told you not to move around.¡±
Gu Chu gritted her teeth. ¡°You¡¯re in heat and it¡¯s my fault?!¡±
¡°In heat? Are you sure you want to continue talking?¡± There was no one around, and his hand began to move upward.
She was shocked. ¡°No! Let¡¯s continue talking about Shengyan.¡±
Talking about serious matters could sober him up.
She took a deep breath. ¡°I didn¡¯t reach an agreement with Zhao Ting just now. Her price is too high. I¡¯ll try to convince herter.¡±
He asked, ¡°What if you can¡¯t reach an agreement?¡±
Gu Chu said exaggeratedly, ¡°My dad will probably kick me out of the Gu Corporation.¡±
Feng Jia went along with it. ¡°That¡¯s fine too. You cane over and be my secretary.¡±
Gu Chu gave him a sideways nce. ¡°Am I going to be a secretary or something else?¡±
The former had to work, thetter had to be done.
When Feng Jia heard this, he let out a lowugh. His tone was inexplicably sexy.
Gu Chu closed her eyes and thought to herself, ¡°He won¡¯t be able to calm down for a while.¡±
They rode for more than half an hour before returning to the resting area.
During this time, there were only Lu Shen and Zhao Ting there. Fortunately, they were both well-connected people. Even though it was the first time they met, they had a good conversation and didn¡¯t feel awkward.
Gu Chu got off the horse and immediately left Feng Jia to go beside Lu Shen. Lu Shen asked her curiously, ¡°Why did you turn around?¡±
Gu Chu replied in annoyance, ¡°None of your business!¡±
Lu Shen smiled. ¡°What kind of tone is that?¡±
You¡¯re busybody aren¡¯t you?
Gu Chu had just settled the score with President Li, but not with him yet. She said directly, ¡°When I go back, I¡¯ll tell your mom that you were riding on a horse with a man on a weekday. Your rtionship was unclear, and your horse was in heat and bumped into me, causing me to almost fall down!¡±
Lu Shen didn¡¯t know what he did to provoke and was amused. ¡°You are so good at lying.¡±
¡°You even insulted me, saying that I only know how to lie.¡±
Lu Shen pretended to roll up his sleeves. ¡°Gu Chu, do you think that I don¡¯t dare to hit you?¡±
Gu Chu batted her eyelids. ¡°You even tried to kill me to destroy the evidence.¡±
Lu Shen was a gentleman. How could he deal with a scoundrel like Gu Chu? He surrendered immediately. ¡°Fine, I was wrong. I surrender, okay?¡±
Gu Chu refused to let it go. ¡°You even said that you won¡¯t acknowledge me as your cousin and won¡¯t talk to me anymore.¡±
Lu Shen turned to Feng Jia. ¡°Are you really not going to interfere?¡±
Feng Jia looked at Gu Chu with a smile in his eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t control her either.¡±
Lu Shen was convinced.
Zhao Ting watched Lu Shen and Gu Chu bicker with envy in her eyes.
Of course, Gu Chu was just saying that. She wouldn¡¯t reallyin to her aunt. After she was done with her cousin, she curled her lips and asked, ¡°Well, where¡¯s President Li?¡±
Lu Shen said, ¡°He threw up after he got off the horse. He¡¯s resting inside now.¡±
Gu Chu did not feel guilty. Who asked him to step on her sore spot.
He had mistaken her for Gu Wan, and thought that Feng Jia was Gu Wan¡¯s fianc¨¦e.
She said, ¡°Then you two should urge him to change the game characters for me. I don¡¯t want to be cheated on in the game.¡±
Chapter 78 - A Bouquet of Flowers
Chapter 78: A Bouquet of Flowers
Lu Shen replied, ¡°You¡¯ve taught him a lesson, there¡¯s no need for us to tell him that. The first thing he¡¯ll do when he goes back is to change it.¡±
Gu Chu was very satisfied with what he said. She turned to Zhao Ting and said, ¡°Let¡¯s continue our discussion.¡±
Feng Jia looked at her back and asked, ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.¡±
Gu Chu waved her hand as an answer.
Lu Shen walked over and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that President Li can¡¯t talk about serious matters in his current state. I¡¯ll get someone to send him back to the hotel. We¡¯ll talk about it another day. Gu Chu is cunning, unreasonable and willful. Don¡¯t take it to heart. She is the youngest in the family, and her uncle and aunt spoiled her. That was why she does as she pleased...¡±
Although Lu Shen was scolding Gu Chu, he was secretly defending her. He said so much just to speak up for her.
A faint smile hung on Feng Jia¡¯s lips the whole time.
*
The club was quite well-equipped. As Gu Chu and Zhao Ting walked towards the bar, Zhao Ting said, ¡°You and your cousin are really close.¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°He had a sister who was about the same age as me, but unfortunately, she had an ident when she was young and passed away.¡±
Therefore, Lu Shen transferred his love for his sister to her. Although she liked to ¡®bully¡¯ him, he enjoyed it very much.
That was because he felt that if his sister was still alive, she would be about the same age as her.
Zhao Ting didn¡¯t ask any further.
When they arrived at the water bar, they each asked for a ss of water.
Earlier, Gu Chu had shouted and was teased by Feng Jia so much that her mouth was dry.
She opened the bottle and drank a few mouthfuls.
Zhao Ting was still covered in mud from the fall. She patted it for her and asked, ¡°Manager Zhao, are you sure you don¡¯t want to go to the hospital?¡±
¡°No need to go through so much trouble. I¡¯m fine.¡± Zhao Ting thought of something and said, ¡°But I forgot to thank you. Thank you for saving me just now.¡±
Gu Chu asked half-jokingly, ¡°Then may I ask, can I use this small favor to make you reconsider our offer?¡±
Zhao Ting couldn¡¯t help butugh. She was really good at this
When they came in, Gu Chu sent a message to her secretary, who came in with a bouquet of flowers.
She took the flowers and held them in front of Zhao Ting. ¡°I heard that you like lilies. On the way here, I passed by a flower shop and saw that the lilies looked good. I hope you like them.¡±
It was their first time meeting each other, so it was a courtesy to give her a gift. Zhao Ting didn¡¯tck anything expensive. She might as well just give her a bouquet of flowers.
After all, men gave women flowers, but it was rare for women to give women flowers.
Sure enough, Zhao Ting said with surprise, ¡°This is the first time a woman has given me flowers.¡±
¡°I¡¯m different. I only give women flowers.¡±
Zhao Ting smiled and said, ¡°If it¡¯s up to me, I¡¯ll sell them to you at the original price.¡±
In other words, she couldn¡¯t agree to her offer.
Gu Chu was at her wit¡¯s end.
Zhao Ting smelled the fragrance of the flowers and stood up. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back and wait for your reply.¡±
Gu Chu asked politely, ¡°Are you not going to stay anymore?¡±
Zhao Ting said, ¡°No, next time.¡±
Gu Chu did not force her to stay. ¡°Be careful on the road.¡±
After Zhao Ting left, Gu Chu went to the lounge to change her clothes.
The secretary ran over from the side. ¡°Director, how was it?¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°She wants four times the price.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± The secretary covered her mouth.
Gu Chu pondered. ¡°With this price, I wonder if Shengyan is simply against me?¡±
That shouldn¡¯t be the case. She rarely made enemies in the business world.
The secretary asked, ¡°Then what should we do next? Should we go directly to the boss? Or should we ask the chairman to step in?¡±
Gu Chu did not answer. She looked at the setting sun in the distance. It was a beautiful sight.
After a pause, she asked the secretary, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±
The secretary said honestly, ¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu walked to the lounge. ¡°Let¡¯s go eat after I change.¡±
The secretary was excited when she heard that they were going to eat. ¡°Sure, sure.¡±
Gu Chu drove her to the city center. They were going to have Thai food.
Gu Chu really asked around to find out if Shengyan had a problem with the Gu corporation, but it wasn¡¯t the case. It was obvious that they did not want to work with the Gu Corporation.
However, even so, she could have directly rejected it. Why did she ask for such a high price? It felt like she was deliberately trying to embarrass the Gu Corporation.
Chapter 79 - Solution
Chapter 79: Solution
Moreover, they were all influential figures in Haicheng City. They should leave on good terms so that they could cooperate in the future. They should understand this, right?
Therefore, Gu Chu felt that there must be something going on here.
Meng Lang was not good at anything, but he knew more about gossip than anyone else. Moreover, he was very good at collecting gossip.
Very soon, he sent her a message. ¡°There was once when Shengyan¡¯s boss was drinking and chatting, he said something about not liking the way the Gu family behaved.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°When did my family be enemies with him?¡±
¡°The CEO of Shengyan started from nothing. He didn¡¯t like that your family inherited wealth from your ancestors. Moreover, your family had a marriage alliance with the Feng family. Then, there was a scandal about changing the marriage partner. He thought that your family was too snobbish, so he thought he won¡¯t get along with you.¡±
So that was the case. Actually, it was not a big conflict. They just simply had their own opinions.
Actually, one could not do business based solely on one¡¯s personal preferences. He was quite self-centered in his way of doing things.
Meng Lang giggled. ¡°What kind of trouble did you run into? If you run into any trouble, tell me, your big brother, and I¡¯ll help you settle it.¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°Wang Xiao is about to join the army, which means that no one will protect you anymore. If you want me to beat you up, just say it. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush.¡±
Meng Lang said immediately, ¡°You¡¯re the boss, okay?¡±
Gu Chu snorted.
Meng Lang continued, ¡°Boss, I¡¯ll let you in on a piece of news. The CEO of Shengyan might be going to the club on Wednesday night to attend a cocktail party.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Thank you.¡±
Putting down the phone, the secretary looked at her with anticipation. However, before she could figure out how to make a move, she asked, ¡°Is it good?¡±
The secretary nodded without saying anything.
At this moment, Gu Chu picked up a piece of beef curry and put it into her mouth. Before she could even chew it, a fishy smell spread in her mouth, and she could not help but cover her mouth and retch.
The secretary was shocked and quickly handed her the lemonade. ¡°Director, are you okay?¡±
Gu Chu retched again. Tears were about to flow, and she signaled the secretary to remove the beef curry.
She finally suppressed the nausea and frowned. ¡°It must be gastric.¡±
The secretary touched her nose and said somewhat embarrassedly, ¡°Director, looking at you just now, I thought you were pregnant.¡±
Pregnant? Gu Chu chuckled. ¡°How could I be pregnant?¡±
The secretary stammered, ¡°CEO Feng...¡±
Gu Chu lifted her eyelids and took a sip of the soup. Only then did her stomach feel better. ¡°He always uses protection. I don¡¯t want a man who doesn¡¯t wear a condom.¡±
After all, the woman has to to suffer if she¡¯s pregnant. This was a man¡¯s irresponsible behavior.
The secretary instantly blushed. ¡°There¡¯s also a chance that condoms don¡¯t work.¡±
When Gu Chu heard this, she narrowed his eyes and threatened, ¡°Since you are so free to think about this, why don¡¯t you count the number of hot spring machines that are avable in all the manufacturingpanies over the weekend?¡±
The secretary widened her eyes and said in an embarrassed tone, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not that free.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°Four times the sry.¡±
The secretary¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°I promise toplete the task!¡±
There was no way she would work overtime, but with enough money, nothing was impossible!
But why? She asked in confusion, ¡°Why do we need to do that?¡±
¡°Gather as many as we can. If we can¡¯t get all 180, we should be able to gather a few dozen, right?¡±
The secretary understood. ¡°Oh.¡±
¡°If the higher-ups ask you about the current situation, tell them the truth.¡±
The secretary nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu was full. She put down her spoon and said, ¡°There¡¯s a board meeting next Wednesday. I hope we can resolve this matter before then so it¡¯s easier for us to tell them, otherwise there will be trouble.¡±
When the secretary heard that, she subconsciously asked, ¡°What if it really can¡¯t be done?¡±
Gu Chu messed with her. ¡°Then forge a contract and muddle through it. You do it.¡±
The secretary: ¡°...¡±
She wanted to cry, but no tears came!
Gu Chu had arranged tasks for the secretary over the weekend, but she was not idle either.
She was holed up in Jinyuan Residences, intending to prepare to meet the CEO of Shengyan.
She had a rough understanding of him. In any case, the more she understood, the more she felt that the rumor about Zhao Ting was fake.
If she had believed the rumor, the boss would have been a real scumbag.
But he wasn¡¯t. He loved his wife very much and was a good man who cared about his family.
Chapter 80 - Feng Jia
Chapter 80: Feng Jia
A few years ago, his wife fell seriously ill. The CEO of Shengyan, who was in his fifties, put down all the work in his hands and insisted on staying by his wife¡¯s side without sleep or rest.
This became the topic in Haicheng City.
Since he was so sentimental, then the reason why he couldn¡¯t stand the Gu family was probably not only because the Gu family had inherited wealth, but because the marriage between the Gu family and Feng Jia was a marriage of business and they kept changing the contract. From an outsider¡¯s point of view, this was viting the sanctity marriage.
Moreover, before Gu Wan returned, Shengyan had also submitted their bid. At that time, she hadn¡¯t heard that Shengyan had any disdain towards Gu family.
When Gu Chu thought of this, she frowned slightly. She had never thought that changing the marriage contract would not only affect her private life, but also her work.
It was hard for her not to me Gu Wan for all of this. After all, she was the one who spread the rumors.
Gu Chu picked up her phone, wanting to ask Lin Yu. She did not know how his investigation of Gu Wan in the capital was going, but as soon as she found his phone number, she backed out again.
After all, Lin Yu was also busy. The Sky Garden Project had already made it difficult for him to be in two ces at once. She should wait for him toe back before asking him. There was no rush.
The most urgent task at hand was to persuade Shengyan¡¯s CEO.
Since he thought that the Gu Corporation treated marriage like a child¡¯s game, then she would let him know that her rtionship with Feng Jia was as strong as gold.
It would be best to show off their love in front of the boss, but how would she do that?
Gu Chu still felt quite embarrassed when she thought about it. She never thought that there would be a day where she would have to prove that she and Feng Jia were in love.
However, other than being addicted to each other¡¯s bodies, they didn¡¯t seem to be in love.
Forget it. Being addicted to one¡¯s body was also a form of ¡°love.¡± It was better for her not to think too much about it.
However, the more she forced herself not to think about it, the more she thought about it.
Ever since Feng Jia had made it clear in front of Old Master Feng, Mr. and Mrs. Gu at the Feng family¡¯s old mansion that the marriage would not change, she was actually not that worried that Feng Jia would choose Gu Wan.
However, at that time, it was also because he did not like his stepmother and did not want to ept her arrangement. A small part of the reason was thatpared to Gu Wan, she, Gu Chu, was obviously more beautiful and morepatible with him in bed.
Moreover, they had already been sleeping together for two to three years. If he were to get with a new woman, wouldn¡¯t that be a problem for him?
He was not a scumbag who could fall in love at any time and ce. Since he was so busy, he had less time for love.
At least now, she seemed to be on par with Gu Wan, so Feng Jia probably would not give up on her.
Gu Chu had always felt that love was very annoying. Wasn¡¯t it just physical? It was only because of the word ¡°love¡± that her mood was affected.
In fact, there was nothing to be conflicted about. Even if he gave up on her, had she lost?
She would never entrust her future to a man.
She should think about work. Men would abandon you, but work would not.
In order to get in touch with Shengyan¡¯s CEO, she got his secretary¡¯s Wechat contact and looked at his friends.
Nowadays, many young people would set up a persona on their social media. The persona he set up for himself were more or less a man-child who liked to enjoy life.
There were also photos of him attending some events with the CEO. She might be able to get some clues from this.
Although she didn¡¯t have much hope, she noticed something was wrong.
His secretary would sometimes share a post with the message ¡°Hehehe, I¡¯m off work¡± with a bunch of emojis.
This wasn¡¯t important, what was important was his location.
He was always at one of three high-end restaurants. They were expensive, so he must be apanied someone.
And the person was his boss.
One out of three. Maybe she could try her luck?
Actually, it wasn¡¯t that bad.
She had a lot of connections in Haicheng City, she could just call and ask if someone from Shengyan had made a reservation.
One of them actually told her that the CEO of Shengyan had made a reservation for tonight.
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes curved. What luck!
Next, she had to think about how to get Feng Jia there.
Chapter 81 - He Peeled Shrimps for Her
Chapter 81: He Peeled Shrimps for Her
It would definitely not work if she told him to publicly disy their affection. Instead, she would be lectured by him.
The bastard had never done anything to help her in her work, they had always separated their work and private life, otherwise he would not have taken the Yangchang Projectst time.
Therefore, she had to trick him.
She rolled her eyes and took out the food left by the housekeeper in the fridge. Then, she threw the box. At the same time, she made a fake ¡°ah¡± sound.
Feng Jia was working in his office upstairs. The door was not closed. When he heard the sound, he put down his work and came out.
He wanted to see what the vixen was doing downstairs.
He came to the railing and looked down. He saw her worrying about the food that had been spilled on the floor.
Seeing hime out, she looked up and felt a little embarrassed. She said sadly, ¡°It was an ident. My hand slipped.¡±
As she said that, she quickly went to get a broom.
The bastard was a neat freak. Fortunately, it was not a big spill. It was not realistic to wait for the housekeeper to clean it tomorrow.
He slowly came down from upstairs, and she was just about done with the cleaning and washing her hands.
He asked, ¡°You knocked over the dishes. What are we going to eat tonight?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t expect me to cook, do you? I don¡¯t know how to cook!¡± Gu Chu said indignantly.
¡°Of course, I can eat you, but you don¡¯t have anything to eat.¡± Feng Jia lifted his eyelids, and his tone was cold.
It was still early, and he was in the mood!
Gu Chu didn¡¯t listen to him and suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go out to eat? I know a very good restaurant, but I haven¡¯t had the chance to try it yet.¡±
Feng Jia just looked at her. She wasn¡¯t someone who would scream when she knocked over a box.
She was making such a fuss. She must be hiding something.
Seeing that he didn¡¯t speak, Gu Chu asked fiercely, ¡°You¡¯re not going to starve me, are you?¡±
If he dared to starve her, she would immediately leave.
He walked up to her in amusement and pinched her cheek. ¡°Change your clothes and we¡¯ll go out.¡±
At least this bastard had a conscience.
Gu Chu deliberately picked a dress that was simr in color to his outfit.
She even took a selfie with him. CEO Feng was elegant and cold. He didn¡¯t even look at the camera, just a cold side profile.
It was as if he was forced by his girlfriend to go on a date.
Although he didn¡¯t look upset, she was the one who drove. He had to reply to his emails, and she was the one who ordered the dishes. He had to make a phone call, and when the dishes were served, he was still replying to his clients.
In short, he was as busy as he could be.
Forget about showing off their love, it was difficult to even talk to him.
Even the waiter could tell that they were a fake couple.
Gu Chu almost rolled her eyes. ¡°Can you not be so cold?¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t even lift his eyelids. ¡°Replying to thest message.¡±
Alright, since he was so uncooperative, then don¡¯t me her.
When the waiter served another dish, Gu Chu said, ¡°Brother-inw, isn¡¯t it a inappropriate for us to eat together without my sister?¡±
The waiter¡¯s hands trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the te.
Feng Jia finally turned off his phone and looked up at her.
Gu Chu was still minding her own business. ¡°You should cancel the hotel reservation. I think this is wrong.¡±
The waiter who was pouring wine for them almost missed.
Feng Jia saw the slyness in her eyes and knew she was stirring up trouble again. He wiped his hands with a wet towel and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Your sister wouldn¡¯t mind since she¡¯s in heaven.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
The waiter ran away in panic.
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows when she saw him running away. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that my sister in heaven would look for you in her dreams?¡±
Feng Jia was expressionless. ¡°Enough. If you like to make up stories so much, why don¡¯t you write a novel instead?¡±
She pursed her lips. ¡°Who asked you to ignore me from the moment you came in? Am I dead to you?¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t respond. He picked up his chopsticks and asked, ¡°What¡¯s so special about this restaurant?¡±
Gu Chu pointed at a dish and said, ¡°The shrimp here is not bad. I want to eat it.¡±
¡°I thought you didn¡¯t like peeling prawns?¡± The vixen thought it was troublesome and didn¡¯t want to damage her nails. She always had all kinds of excuses.
Gu Chu said matter-of-factly, ¡°Don¡¯t I have you? This is what you should do as my fianc¨¦.¡±
So all these tricks were just to get him to peel prawns for her.
He put on a disposable glove, somewhat resigned to his fate, and started to peel prawns like a robot.
Chapter 82 - Putting On a Show for Him
Chapter 82: Putting On a Show for Him
Gu Chu was in a good mood as she ate the shrimps he peeled. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the person sitting at the next table.
She chose a seat that was close to the CEO of Shengyan so that he could hear their conversation.
Initially, when he heard her calling him ¡°brother-inw¡± he was surprised and nced over. Later, when he found out that it was fake, he shook his head andughed.
Gu Chu asked, ¡°What¡¯s the update on Shen Shan? As long as I don¡¯t find out his background, I won¡¯t feel at ease. You have no idea how scared I was that day, but when you showed up at the police station, I suddenly felt like I wasn¡¯t scared anymore.¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t fall for her tricks. ¡°Really? Your father told me that you were brave and want to go back to the apartment alone?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Did he not get that she was trying to be flirt?
She was speechless for a long while before she regained herposure. ¡°Although we¡¯re engaged, we¡¯re not married yet. I can¡¯t stay at your ce.¡±
She suddenly suggested, ¡°How about we stay at your ce on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and mine on the remaining?¡±
Feng Jia did not answer her question. Instead, he answered the previous one. ¡°The police have found a doctor to do a psychiatric evaluation on Shen Shan. They¡¯re currently deciding whether he was sane when he attacked you.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
She actually did not care about the matter. She continued to ask relentlessly, ¡°Feng Jia, what do you think of my suggestion just now?¡±
Feng Jia ignored her again. ¡°I¡¯ve checked his route from the capital to Haicheng City. I might find something.¡±
¡°Feng Jia!¡± Gu Chu was upset and shouted angrily.
Feng Jia peeled thest shrimp for her, put it into her bowl, and took off the disposable gloves, he felt that she was a little strange today. ¡°People who know about our rtionship won¡¯t care if you stayed in my house or not. You can just ignore the others. Instead of thinking about all this nonsense, why don¡¯t you think about how you¡¯re going to exin the problem to your father on Monday?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She wanted to show off their love, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be so tactless.
She nced at the CEO of Shengyan who was sitting nearby. He should have heard her calling Feng Jia by his name just now.
She whined, ¡°It¡¯s all because of you and Gu Wan. Previously, CEO Li thought that you two were a couple. If I don¡¯t ask you out tonight, people will really think that you two are a couple.¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?¡±
Gu Chu was annoyed. ¡°Who wants to get married to you so rashly? In short, as long as you and Gu Wan don¡¯t rify things, I won¡¯t marry you. Besides, it¡¯s easy to get married, it¡¯s hard to get a divorce. Don¡¯t tell me that if we can¡¯t get a divorce, we¡¯ll have to go to court?¡±
Feng Jia had always been cold and emotionless. Seeing that she was being pretentious, he asked, ¡°Everything won¡¯t do. What do you want?¡±
She didn¡¯t want outsiders to hear this, so she lowered her voice and said, ¡°Then tell me about your rtionship with Gu Wan.¡±
Feng Jia replied directly, ¡°I have nothing to do with her.¡±
Gu Chu chuckled, ¡°A ghost would believe that.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not a ghost.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t think that by saying that, you¡¯re off the hook.¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows. He thought that she had gone a overboard tonight.
He did not expect that she could go even further in the next second.
She stretched out one hand and three fingers. She looked like a child with a serious expression. ¡°Unless you swear to me.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of a smile. Just as he was about to raise his fork, he turned around and stuffed the fork into her mouth. ¡°Eat your shrimp.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She chewed, looking at him with dissatisfaction.
This bastard. Every time she mentioned Gu Wan, he refused to say anything.
Could it be that she really owed him in her past life?
Gu Chu suddenly looked at him in annoyance. She had enough of the acting. She removed the napkin from herp and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡±
Feng Jia nodded.
Gu Chu got up and left their table. Just then, a waitress walked up to her. Her eyes shed. She turned her body to avoid the waitress in an exaggerated manner, but she slipped and rammed straight toward the next table!
She fell onto CEO Sheng Yan, who was drinking wine. The wine in his ss spilled all over his body!
Chapter 83 - Feng Jia’s Rage
Chapter 83: Feng Jia¡¯s Rage
¡°Ah!¡± Gu Chu cried out in surprise. She quickly pulled out a napkin and wiped the wine off his clothes, she apologized profusely, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was an ident, but I still dirtied your clothes. Can Ipensate you?¡±
CEO of Shengyan dodged her hand and wiped himself with the napkin. He said generously, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t have to.¡±
Gu Chu stopped what he was doing and looked at him in surprise. ¡°May I ask who you are?¡±
Feng Jia heard the noise and immediately stood up. He put one hand around Gu Chu¡¯s waist and instinctively shielded her behind him. When he saw the man, he was startled. ¡°CEO Wang?¡±
CEO of Shengyan did not show much surprise. He smiled and reached out his hand. ¡°CEO Feng, I didn¡¯t expect such a coincidence.¡±
Feng Jia frowned and quickly nced at Gu Chu.
He was so sharp that he immediately understood that he was being used.
She said that she wanted them to bond, but in fact, she was here for CEO Wang. Her intentions were impure, and she even dared to question his rtionship with Gu Wan.
Feng Jia smiled and reached out to shake CEO Wang¡¯s hand. ¡°What a coincidence.¡±
What a coincidence. He was tricked by the vixen.
Gu Chu went forward without a trace of guilt on her face. ¡°Hello, CEO Wang. My name is Gu Chu.¡±
CEO Wang looked at her for a while before reaching out his hand. ¡°Hello, Miss Gu.¡±
¡°I¡¯m really sorry. The pair of high heels is new. I didn¡¯t wear them properly just now, and caused you trouble.¡± Gu Chu shook his hand, ¡°Let me treat you to dinner tonight as an apology.¡±
¡°That¡¯s too much, I just need to wash my clothes. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± CEO Wang looked very amiable.
¡°Let me do something as an apology. The prawns here are good, we just tried them. Why don¡¯t we order you one too? Would you like to try it?¡±
¡°No, I have gout. I can¡¯t eat seafood.¡± CEO Wang thought of something and teased, ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t have anyone to peel the shells for me. Forget it.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips and looked at Feng Jia with a shy smile.
Feng Jia also lowered his head to look at her. He didn¡¯t really go along with it, but it didn¡¯t matter. Gu Chu¡¯s acting skills alone could hold up.
The three of them chatted for a while and then separated.
Feng Jia and Gu Chu went back to their seats and continued eating. Since CEO Wang had almost finished eating and his clothes had been dirtied, he did not stay any longer and left.
Feng Jia looked at her indifferently. ¡°He left. I thought you would talk to him about the hot spring machines.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°If I mentioned that, it would feel like a premeditated n.¡±
She had already achieved her goal for tonight, so she said, ¡°We were just pretending to be a couple just now.¡±
¡°So, are you admitting that you used me?¡± Feng Jia¡¯s tone had a hint of imperceptible danger.
Gu Chu was usually not afraid of him, but when she heard that, she felt inexplicably guilty. ¡°No, it was just a coincidence. I really wanted to have dinner with you.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Yes, we are engaged. You have to believe me.¡±
After that, they did not say another word throughout the meal.
Gu Chu was still thinking about what had just happened. Had she umted enough good impressions? Should she do something else to leave a good impression?
She waspletely unaware of the change in the man¡¯s aura around her. It was only when they reached home that she asked, ¡°Are you angry?¡±
He did not answer. Instead, he dragged her directly to the balcony. When he looked at her, she saw a bottomless abyss. Her hair stood on its end, and she looked at him with a tingling scalp. ¡°Feng Jia, what are you doing? We can talk it out.¡±
Why does he look so scary!
His hands hugged her waist, and she hooked her arms around his neck.
She was afraid of heights. At the height of more than twenty floors, if she fell, she would not survive!
¡°So you¡¯re afraid now?¡± His hot breath was right beside her ear, and her throat tightened.
There was the sound of belt being unbuckled.
¡°Wait, wait! The curtains!¡±
Fortunately, he closed the curtains. Her skin rubbed against the rough curtains, and it hurt a little. She clung tightly to his body, and her entire body felt light, as if she was floating.
He pressed hard against her, and her fingers trembled as they hooked onto the windowsill. The window wasn¡¯t closed, he could easily throw her off the building.
It did not matter if she was thrown off, what mattered was that she was f * cking naked!
¡°Feng... Feng Jia!¡± Her voice trembled, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
He put her legs down, changed his position, and went deeper. ¡°Tell me, did you use me tonight?¡±
He was still hung up on this!
She bit her lower lip hard, refusing to admit it no matter what. ¡°No.¡±
She let out a long breath. She felt like amb waiting to be ughtered while he held the knife and sliced her skin inch by inch.
She felt dizzy, but she did not dare to let go. She grabbed the curtain and felt like she was about to cry.
Chapter 84 - Will He Respect Her
Chapter 84: Will He Respect Her
She did not know when he had carried her to the bed. Feeling the quilt on her back, her heart gradually calmed down.
Her legs were spread. A drop of sweat from his forehead flowed down his cheeks, past his chin, and dripped onto her corbone. She groaned and put her hands around his neck, she could not stop cursing, ¡°Bastard!¡±
The next morning, she was woken up by him. She clearly felt a foreign object in her body and her lower abdomen was sore. She felt that her legs were unbelievably soft, and it didn¡¯t seem like they belonged to her anymore.
She was f*cked awake by him?!
He got off the bed and went to the bathroom. She sat up, and her head was a little dizzy.
Seeing the bruises on her body, an indescribable anger rushed up. She wanted to rush out of the bed and fight with Feng Jia!
However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she went limp and knelt down.
Although the floor was covered with a thick carpet, her knees still hurt when they touched the ground. She picked up the book on the bedside table and was about to throw it in the direction of the bathroom. However, she had read the book before she went to bed. Thinking about it, she decided to let it go.
When she caught a glimpse of the watch that he put on the bedside table, she angrily picked it up and threw it at him!
¡°Pa!¡± The watch shattered into pieces.
Now, she was just waiting for the bastard toe out and have a good fight with him.
Last night, he was scared her. After that, he did her again this morning. Did he know how to respect her?
She didn¡¯t dislike doing this with him, and she had never rejected him. He was her fianc¨¦, but his behaviorst night and this morning made her wonder, what did he take her for? Was she a blow-up doll or a flesh light?
She climbed into bed angrily. This time, she had to be ready and argue with him properly, so that could finally let it out. She took out her phone and angrily changed Feng Jia¡¯s name to ¡°bastard¡±.
She had already prepared a draft in her heart. She was only waiting for him toe out and fight with him!
However, she was really too tired. The moment she touched the pillow and yawned, she fell into a deep sleep.
Before she fell asleep, she thought to herself with some annoyance, why did she have to wait for him toe out before arguing with him? She could have just rushed in!
He didn¡¯t respect her. Why did she have to give him face? !
Feng Jia walked out of the bathroom and the first thing he saw was the broken watch on the ground. He casually swept the broken watch with his feet to the corner to prevent the vixen who didn¡¯t like to wear shoes at home from injuring her feet.
It was already bright at this moment.
He walked up to her and looked at her sleeping face. He reached out to touch it.
In fact, the phone call he received yesterday was not only about work, but also his father¡¯s call from abroad.
He knew why he called when they were in the restaurant, so he hung up and sent a message saying that he would call him back after dinner.
After messing around with Gu Chu for a while, ¡°Please reading on N?WN0V?L.0?G¡±he finally remembered about this matter and called him. Because of the time difference, his father was able to pick up the call.
After the call was connected, his tone was always polite and distant. ¡°Father.¡±
Mr. Feng¡¯s voice was heavy. ¡°Feng Jia, how have you been recently?¡±
¡°Thepany¡¯s financial report is sent to your email every quarter. You should have received it.¡±
Mr. Feng was silent for a moment. He was asking about him, but he was talking about thepany.
Those who did not know would think that they were boss and employee, not father and son.
Mr. Feng had three sons and a daughter. Feng Jia was born from him and his first wife. He had a cold personality, like his biological mother. They rarely spoke to each other warmly.
After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°I am not worried when you¡¯re there. However, Feng Jia, it¡¯s time for you to consider your marriage.¡±
Feng Jia did not reply.
Mr. Feng said again, ¡°Your mother and I think that when we return to the country this time, we¡¯ll settle the marriage between you and the Gu family¡¯s daughter. What do you think?¡±
Feng Jia spoke calmly. ¡°I¡¯ll discuss it with Gu Chu.¡±
¡°Your grandfather does like Gu Chu very much. But I heard recently that the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Wan, has been found?¡± Mr. Feng asked tentatively.
Feng Jia replied in a low voice, ¡°Yes.¡±
He then asked, ¡°Does the Gu family intend to change the engagement?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s voice did not fluctuate. ¡°Where did you hear this from?¡±
Mr. Feng: ¡°Does that mean that it¡¯s true?¡±
Feng Jia did not reply.
Mr. Feng already knew in his heart. ¡°Why did the Gu family insist on changing the engagement? Do you know what¡¯s going on?¡±
Chapter 85 - Gu Chu was Furious
Chapter 85: Gu Chu was Furious
Feng Jia still did not reply.
¡°CEO Gu is an old fox. You have to be careful if he has other ns. If he does, we have to take action ordingly.¡±
Mr. Feng¡¯s tone did not sound like he was talking about a marriage, but a business deal.
Moreover, there was hidden meaning in his words.
The marriage between the Feng and Gu families was all about benefits. Before Gu Wan returned, the Gu family only had one daughter, so the Feng family had no choice. But now that the Gu family had two daughters, they had to carefully consider which daughter was more valuable.
He could not marry a vase, otherwise the Feng family would suffer a great loss.
Feng Jia knew what he meant, he sneered, ¡°How can you be sure that they are changing the marriage contract because Gu Wan is more valuable? And not because Gu Chu could marry into a higher-ss family?¡±
Mr. Feng coughed and thought, ¡°In short, you have to be careful. You can¡¯t let them change the contract.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°My marriage with Gu Chu has been decided for more than ten years. It will not look good if it¡¯s changed now.¡±
But Mr. Feng said casually, ¡°We¡¯re pursuing our best interests. Why should we care about gossips?¡±
Then, Feng Jia hung up the phone.
When he came back, he touched Gu Chu¡¯s body again. He couldn¡¯t control the anger in his heart and took her again.
He was sick, and she was the antidote.
*
Gu Chu slept until eight o¡¯clock. She thought about it several times before she slowly got up.
She walked into the bathroom to wash up in a daze. As she brushed her teeth, she thought that if it wasn¡¯t Monday and that she needed to report to her father about work, she would definitely continued sleeping.
Ah! Why did a rich heiress like her have to work so hard?
Don¡¯t rich heiresses portrayed in the TV series shop all day? They¡¯d go to Mn for a fashion show, bid in an auction and go to all kinds of parties. They might even have a gigolo to keep them happy.
Gu Chu poured cold water on herself to wash away those messy thoughts.
She sobered up a little and came back to reality.
Why else could it be? Previously, she was the sole heiress of the Gu Corporation, and she had been groomed to be the boss.
Now that Gu Wan had returned, it meant that if she was not careful, she might lose the empire that she had worked so hard to conquer, so she had to put in a lot of effort.
After two years, she had gotten used to this fast-paced life. So why was she so tired today?
It was all because of that bastard Feng Jia!
When she thought aboutst night and the incident in the early morning, she got angry. After putting on her makeup, she went downstairs with a cold face.
Feng Jia had already eaten breakfast and was ready to go to the office. When he saw here down, he asked casually, ¡°Shall I send you to the office?¡±
Gu Chu replied coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t ride in the same car as a sleep-rapist.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°What sleep-rapist?¡±
Gu Chu sneered. ¡°What did you do in the morning while I was asleep? Have you forgotten so quickly?¡±
Feng Jia replied calmly, ¡°I remember. It was your arm that hooked onto my neck first.¡±
Right.
She remembered that she was the one who hooked onto his neck first.
However, he was also the one who kissed her!
Gu Chu was not convinced. ¡°If you didn¡¯t kiss me, would I do that?¡±
This was simply unreasonable! She was so sleepy at that time!
She stopped eating breakfast and walked out of the door.
Feng Jia frowned and caught up to her with a few steps. ¡°Are you that angry?¡±
The more Gu Chu thought about it, the angrier she got.
From this incident, it could be seen she had feelings for him but he didn¡¯t.
She had brought this upon herself. It was her fault for not protecting her heart.
She let out a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯m angry. How are you going to appease me?¡±
Feng Jia leaned closer to her and curled his lips. ¡°You can do me the same way I did you.¡±
¡°...¡±
Hehe.
The bastard really knew how to take advantage of the situation.
Gu Chu gritted her teeth and looked at him hatefully.
Only then did Feng Jia realize that she was really angry. He said slowly, ¡°You used me to get close to CEO Wang. I¡¯ll let it go and we call it even.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Call it even my ass!
How could something like this be called even?
She was even angrier!
She angrily ran to change her shoes, but when she thought about this man¡¯s stoicism, he probably didn¡¯t know why she was angry. He must think that she was acting up again!
Chapter 86 - Is Feng Jia Small?
Chapter 86: Is Feng Jia Small?
She took a deep breath and ran back to him, ¡°I¡¯m angry because you don¡¯t respect me! You could have woken me up, you did things to me while I¡¯m still asleep. I¡¯m not your sex toy, understand?¡±
She didn¡¯t care whether he understood or not, she just shouted and turned to leave.
Before her anger subsided, she stepped on the elerator and the car rushed out.
She wouldn¡¯t being back here tonight. Her apartment is not worse than this.
Even if she was afraid that Shen Shan had an aplice, she could choose to live with Lin Yin. It wasn¡¯t like she had to live with him!
The more Gu Chu thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn¡¯t continue like this.
He was already showing signs of dominating her. He scared her so muchst night that she had to cling on to him tightly. She wanted to start anew!
*
At the office, Gu Chu parked her car and went to a nearby breakfast shop to buy breakfast. She brought it back to the office to eat andined to Lin Yin as she ate.
Lin Yin was a little shocked when she heard this. ¡°He went that far? That¡¯s too dangerous. What if you fell? And while you¡¯re asleep, he...¡±
No wonder Gu Chu felt like he treated her like an object. After all, no one would care about an object¡¯s feelings.
But when she said this, it hurt.
¡°Are you such a heavy sleeper?¡± Although Lin Yin hadn¡¯t done it before, surely she would know if there¡¯s a foreign object in her?
Lin Yin thought of a possibility. ¡°Could it be that CEO Feng is too small, so you didn¡¯t feel anything?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She did just argue with Feng Jia, so she couldn¡¯t just defend his pride and said that he was actually really big and couldst very long.
The breakfast she bought today was a hot dog. Hearing what she said, she suddenly didn¡¯t feel like eating it.
She threw the hot dog away and drank a few mouthfuls of soy milk. She replied calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve been busy with work these past few days. I¡¯m too tired.¡±
At first, it was the Sky Garden Project. Now there¡¯s this problem with the hot spring machines. She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually quite anxious on the inside.
She didn¡¯t want to have any interaction with Meiyang anymore. She had to find a recement. Otherwise, the Gu Corporation would definitely think of ways to extend the contract with Meiyang.
Thinking of this, Gu Chu became even angrier.
He knew what she¡¯s going through. It was fine if he did not understand her, but he couldn¡¯t even let her have a good sleep?
¡°Aiya, there are thousands of men in this world. If it doesn¡¯t work, just find another one. I told you, my brother is also very good. He is gentle, considerate, and has a good temper. He is really husband material!¡±
Lin Yin had unwittingly agreed to Gu Chu being her sister-inw. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea. They were good friends to begin with, it¡¯s not that bad to be family.
Gu Chu said, ¡°Forget it.¡±
Lin Yin sighed. ¡°Then what time do you get off work tonight? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡±
¡°Around seven o¡¯clock. Come early to avoid the rush hour.¡±
Gu Chu nced at the internal call from the top-floor office. ¡°I got to go now! There¡¯s a battle I need to fight.¡±
¡°Okay, you can do it!¡±
Gu Chu put down the phone. As expected, it was Mr. Gu who asked her to go up.
She looked in the mirror and practiced a guilty expression before going up slowly.
After she went up, she found that in the office, besides Mr. Gu, there was also Uncle Li, the vice president.
Although Mr. Gu was the chairman and president, he put Uncle Li in charge. They had fought side by side for so many years, and they were like brothers.
When Gu Chu first joined thepany, she was under his mentorship. Now, so was Gu wan.
Uncle Li was more strict, and Gu Chu was not very obedient, so she had a few disputes with him.
He had gone abroad to discuss businessst week and only returned now.
Uncle Li asked in a deep voice, ¡°Gu Chu, is it true that Hurricane Manufacturing wants to break the contract?¡±
¡°Yes, it was President Xu who came personally to say it.¡±
Uncle Li gritted his teeth. ¡°Gu Corporation needs 180 units, and even apany asrge as Hurricane needs three months toplete it. Our cooperation with Meiyang will expire next month. In such a short time, do we have any way to find anotherpany to rece it?¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°I¡¯m still thinking of a way.¡±
Uncle Li said directly, ¡°The only way is to renew the contract with Meiyang.¡±
¡°No!¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s words were harsh, which stunned Uncle Li. ¡°Why not?¡±
Chapter 87 - The Dumb Secretary
Chapter 87: The Dumb Secretary
¡°We will not renew the contract with Meiyang. Chairman, you also didn¡¯t agree to cooperate with them before this.¡± Gu Chu looked at Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu frowned.
Uncle Li looked at the father and daughter, puzzled, he asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t there no other way now? It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t renew the contract with Meiyang, but it¡¯s fine to extend the current contract with them, right? We need another six months to look for a new partner.¡±
Seeing that Gu Chu waspletely unmoved, he continued, ¡°It¡¯s going to be winter soon, and it¡¯s the peak season for hotels with hot springs. If there are no hot spring machines at this time, it means that the hot spring project will be shut down. How much will the loss be? It might even affect the Gu Corporation¡¯s stock price. Have you considered all of this?¡±
Gu Chu pursed his lips. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to renew the contract, but Meiyang probably doesn¡¯t want to either.¡±
Uncle Li didn¡¯t quite understand. Meiyang had worked with the Gu Corporation for five years, and the profits had always been 30% to 70% . They had always been on good terms, and there were no problems until now.
At the beginning of the year, Gu Chu suddenly suggested that they no longer want work together, because she said this:
¡°Gu Corporation has already opened up the hot spring market. We no longer need the support of Meiyang. We can buy arge number of hot spring machines and take all the profits. It¡¯s much more cost-effective than giving Meiyang 30% of it every year.¡±
He was only moved by these words.
Now that things had happened so suddenly, why did she still insist on doing it? She even said that Meiyang did not agree to renew the contract? They had ended the contract peacefully with Meiyang, and they had been friends for so many years. He did not believe that they would have a problem with extending it by half a year.
Uncle Li even suspected that the reason Gu Chu said this was because she was embarrassed.
At that time, she was the one who insisted on terminating the contract with Meiyang. Then, Hurricane Manufacturing breached their contract. Because of pride, she firmly opposed renewing the contract with Meiyang.
Gu Wan also came to thepany today. She opened the door a little and eavesdropped on the conversation between the three.
Coincidentally, Mr. Gu¡¯s secretary passed by and saw Gu Wan leaning against the door frame with a furtive look. He paused for a moment and was about to call out to her when Gu Wan turned around and made a shush gesture.
She walked away from the door with her walking stick and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver the documents, but my dad and Chuchu are talking, so I don¡¯t want to disturb them.¡±
¡°You can hand the documents to me. I¡¯ll hand them to the chairman.¡±
Gu Wan said, ¡°No need. I still have some things to report in person. I¡¯ll wait for them to finish talking.¡±
Then, she walked away and returned to the Department of Commerce.
She was the deputy director of the Department of Commerce, so she coulde and go as she pleased.
Gu Wan saw Gu Chu¡¯s secretary. She had not been idle during this period of time. She had gotten a lot of information through small favors about this secretary of Gu Chu¡¯s. Everyone said that she was simple-minded.
To put it bluntly, she was stupid.
The secretary got up from her desk and caught a glimpse of someone holding a walking stick. She looked familiar. Her body was swaying as if she was about to fall.
She quickly ran over and held her. ¡°Be careful.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s face rxed when she was held by her. ¡°Thank you.¡±
The secretary quickly said, ¡°You¡¯re wee. Are you going back to the office? Do you need me to help you?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s eyes shed. She did not expect the secretary toe to her. ¡°Sure, sorry to trouble you.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± The secretary helped her.
She limped and said with some shame, ¡°Actually, my leg is no longer a big problem. It¡¯s just that sometimes I can¡¯t exert strength, so I almost fell down just now.¡±
The secretary did not think too much about it. ¡°You could stay in a wheelchair and asked your assistant to help. Otherwise, you could fall.¡±
¡°Mmm, I¡¯ll do that.¡± After Gu Wan sat down, she took out a box of eye cream samples from her drawer and gave it to her.
She said, ¡°I see that you have dark circles under your eyes recently. Have you been very tired these few days? This brand of eye cream is not bad. Coincidentally, I brought a sample today. You can try it.¡±
The secretary was stunned and quickly rejected shyly, ¡°I can¡¯t ept it. I¡¯ll remember the brand and buy it myself.¡±
¡°This is a niche brand. It¡¯s not easy to find,¡± Gu Wan stuffed it into her hand and said in a very amiable tone, ¡°Just take it as a thank you gift for helping me. Moreover, this is only a small sample. It¡¯s not worth much. Don¡¯t feel bad.¡±
When she said this, it would not be nice of her to reject it.
Chapter 88 - I will Give You Two Days
Chapter 88: I will Give You Two Days
The secretary said a little embarrassedly, ¡°Thank you, deputy director. Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve been working overtime recently and I don¡¯t get enough sleep. That¡¯s why I have dark circles under my eyes.¡±
Gu Wan smiled and asked, ¡°Is it because of the problem with the hot spring machines?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Then, what¡¯s the progress now?¡±
The secretary looked at the brand name of the eye cream and replied, ¡°Actually, we met with the sales manager of Shengyanst Friday, but her asking price is too high. We definitely can¡¯t ept it.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Wan expressed her surprise. ¡°How high is the asking price?¡±
The secretary answered truthfully, ¡°Four times.¡±
Gu Wan was shocked. ¡°That¡¯s robbery!¡±
The secretary looked troubled. ¡°Yes, the director asked around. It seems that their boss doesn¡¯t like... the Gu Corporation. That¡¯s why he refused to cooperate with us.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡± Gu Wan poured a ss of water for the secretary and handed it to her. ¡°Why?¡±
The secretary shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
¡°Then Chuchu must be very troubled, right? Has she thought of what to do?¡±
The secretary rejected her water and said, ¡°Not yet.¡±
Then she said, ¡°Deputy director, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡±
Gu Wan didn¡¯t ask her to stay and smiled. ¡°Alright, you can use the eye cream. If you think it¡¯s not bad and want to buy a full size bottle, just tell me. I can ask someone to help.¡±
After the secretary left, Gu Wan¡¯s smile disappeared.
Actually, she had already heard from the Jiang Wang sisters that Shengyan asked for four times the price. She asked even though she already knew the answer, just to see if the secretary would tell her the truth.
Indeed, she told her everything without any reservations.
It was obvious that Gu Chu could not think of a better solution.
Gu Wan thought of what she had identally heard in the restaurant. The corners of her mouth curled up. She stood up and walked out of the office with her walking stick.
*
In the top-floor office, Gu Chu refused to renew the contract with Meiyang. Uncle Li could not take it anymore. ¡°Gu Chu, although you¡¯re the chairman¡¯s daughter, but...¡±
Gu Chu interrupted him sternly. ¡°Director Li, I¡¯m now the director of the Commerce Department.¡±
¡°Since you know your identity, you should put thepany first. Don¡¯t be petty!¡±
Gu Chu clenched her fingers and looked at Uncle Li. ¡°Something will happen to Meiyang sooner orter. The sooner the Gu Corporation ends the contract with them, the better. Chairman, Uncle Li, give me a few more days. I¡¯ll find a way.¡±
Mr. Gu frowned. ¡°Then what other ways do you have now? Last Thursday, I told you to give me a n on Monday. It¡¯s Monday now. What¡¯s your n?¡±
Gu Chu was speechless. She stammered and said without confidence, ¡°I¡¯m talking to Shengyan.¡±
Mr. Gu made it clear. ¡°Their price is too high.¡±
Gu Chu quickly said, ¡°But Shengyan is most likely to have 180 hot spring machines at the moment. Then, we can sueHurricane Manufacturing to make up for the difference in price.¡±
The n was feasible, but...
Mr. Gu asked, ¡°Has Shengyan agreed to sell it to you?¡±
¡°Their price is too high. I¡¯m still negotiating with them.¡±
In other words, they don¡¯t have the offer yet.
Mr. Gu seemed to be a little disappointed in her. ¡°What if Shengyan doesn¡¯t agree?¡±
Gu Chu only replied weakly, ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to get it.¡±
Uncle Li then asked, ¡°How confident are you?¡±
Gu Chu lowered her head and stammered even more. ¡°50%.¡±
In her current state, it was probably only 30% .
Uncle Li was furious. ¡°Nonsense!¡±
Mr. Gu interrupted him and said to Gu Chu, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you two more days. There¡¯s a board meeting on Wednesday. They¡¯ll definitely ask about this when the timees. I hope you can give them an exnation.¡±
¡°Alright, I understand,¡± Gu Chu said.
After making her promise, she left.
After she left, Uncle Li said with some dissatisfaction, ¡°Old Gu, you can¡¯t always pamper her like this. Can¡¯t you see that? She doesn¡¯t have the confidence to take down Shengyan. Even if we give her two months or two years, she won¡¯t be able to give us an answer, let alone two days.¡±
However, Mr. Gu said, ¡°I also agreed to terminate Meiyang¡¯s contract. You have to trust her and give her a chance.¡±
Uncle Li was stunned. ¡°Agreed? Why did you agree? Are you hiding something from me?¡±
Mr. Guughed. ¡°There are some things that I can¡¯t talk about right now. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±
At this moment, Gu Wan knocked on the door and came in. She shouted, ¡°Dad, Uncle Li.¡±
Their conversation ended, but the anger on Uncle Li¡¯s face was still there.
Chapter 89 - The Secretary was Also Smart
Chapter 89: The Secretary was Also Smart
Gu Chu did not meet Gu Wan before she left, so she did not know what Gu Wan would say after she entered the office.
Anyway, the look on her face changed as soon as she left the chairman¡¯s office. She no longer had the hesitation and guilt that she had in the office just now.
When she returned to the Department of Commerce, she called her secretary into her office. As soon as she entered, she asked, ¡°Have you done what I asked you to do?¡±
¡°Yes, yes. I contacted all the manufacturers of the hot spring machines. I asked them about their stock count and could gather 180 units in total. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent the form to your email.¡±
Gu Chu opened her email and indeed saw the form that she was talking about. She nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad. You even know to reserve it in under your own name¡±
The secretary was in a flutter. ¡°I¡¯ve been with the you for so long. I have learnt to be more careful. ¡°If I say it¡¯s the Gu Corporation, they will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price like Shengyan. If I conceal my identity, it¡¯s a one-time deal anyway. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±
¡°Although the current price is still a little high, it¡¯s still a lot cheaper than Shengyan¡¯s. It¡¯s still within our price range.¡±
Gu Chu smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you an additional year-end bonus.¡±
The secretary secretly cheered in her heart. ¡°Then should I ce the order now?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no rush. Now that we have a way out, we can renegotiate with Shengyan.¡± Gu Chu printed out the form.
The secretary was stunned. ¡°Isn¡¯t Shengyan not willing to cooperate?¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°That was before, but it¡¯s not certain now.¡±
In the weekend, she got Feng Jia to put on that show in front of Chairman Wang. That should help a little.
The secretary was still puzzled. ¡°Director, how confident are you now?¡±
Gu Chu curled her lips. ¡°Eighty percent.¡±
The secretary¡¯s eyes lit up.
Previously, she thought it was 50, and even made it sound like she was only 30% confident.
Other people pretended to be confident when they weren¡¯t, but she did the opposite.
Gu Chu put the printed form into the document bag.
At this moment, the secretary said, ¡°Director, the Deputy Director asked me about something just now.¡±
¡°Oh?¡±
¡°Yeah, she asked for a lot of details too.¡±
Gu Chu was a curious. ¡°Then how did you answer?¡±
¡°I told her. Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted me to tell the truth when the top management or other higher management came to ask?¡± The secretary pointed at the form, ¡°But I didn¡¯t tell her about that.¡±
Gu Chu looked at her with a smile. ¡°The year-end bonus will be doubled.¡±
The secretary thought, ¡°Yeah!¡±
*
Lin Yin had finished choreographing the dance for thepetition. She remembered what Gu Chu told her earlier and drove over to pick her up at a little past four.
Lin Yin had already arrived before Gu Chu had even gotten off work. After she arrived, she ate some snacks and drank coffee. She felt veryfortable, as if she was here for afternoon tea.
Gu Chu looked at her. ¡°I might have to stay at your house for a while.¡±
Lin Yin raised her eyebrows in surprise. ¡°Ah? A while? I¡¯ve never seen you reacted so strongly before. Something is going on between Feng Jia and Gu Wan again?¡±
Gu Chu clicked her tongue. ¡°I thought you¡¯re on my side?¡±
¡°Of course. It¡¯s you who didn¡¯t want to be with my brother. Think about it. If you leave Feng Jia now, won¡¯t Gu Wan be the one who benefits?¡± Lin Yin was mainly worried about this, ¡°You didn¡¯t work so hard give up the Gu Corporation, did you?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry about that.¡± Gu Chu gave her a reassuring look. ¡°She¡¯s been busy pretending to be a cripple recently. Besides, we had a confrontationst time and I warned stay away from Feng Jia.¡±
If Gu Wan dared to get close to Feng Jia now, she would tell him about what happened years ago when she went missing.
¡°Alright, since you put it that way, let¡¯s forget about the bastard for now. You can stay at my ce for as long as you want. In addition, I¡¯ll be going abroad for apetition soon. You can have my ce all to yourself.¡±
Lin Yin was relieved that nothing happened between Feng Jia and Gu Wan for the time being, but Gu Chu knew that the conflict between Feng Jia and her had always existed.
She always thought about the rtionship between Feng Jia and Gu Wan, which was what made her the angriest.
They might seem like trivial things, but they might umte enough to explode one day!
Chapter 90 - Hung Up on Feng Jia
Chapter 90: Hung Up on Feng Jia
Lin Yin suddenly stood up. ¡°Last time, you told me about a person named Qiaoqiao who seemed to know Gu Wan. Has she contacted you about this?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°She hasn¡¯t contacted me since that day. Maybe she mistook her for someone else?¡±
Lin Yin blinked and said suddenly, ¡°I have an idea, but don¡¯t be angry if I tell you.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡±
However, she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Watch your mouth. I have a bad temper. You know that.¡±
Lin Yin said weakly, ¡°Is it possible that Gu Wan is an adopted daughter, and her adoptive parents have a difficult life. In order to earn money, she went astray and met her on a certain asion. That¡¯s why Qiaoqiao thought she was familiar?¡±
In fact, what she meant was that Gu Wan¡¯s past was not honorable.
Qiaoqiao had an interesting job. The people she knew were either those in the same industry, or her clients.
In addition, her parents were tight-lipped about Gu Wan¡¯s past, and kept her in the dark. This made her think about the possibility of what Lin Yin said.
Gu Chu did not say anything.
Lin Yin added, ¡°You know better than me what happened at the dinner party. You also know that some people would do anything to please their rich father. Could it be that someone arranged for an escort to apany CEO Feng to a dinner party and Gu Wan was one of them, so they got to know each other by ident?¡±
Gu Chu frowned when she heard this. ¡°You mean, Feng Jia paid Gu Wan?¡±
Lin Yin coughed lightly. ¡°That¡¯s why they won¡¯t tell you about their rtionship.¡±
Gu Chu leaned back against the back of the chair. The thought of this almost suffocated her.
Lin Yin felt that she was being too harsh when she saw her like this, so she decided to make it up to her. ¡°This just my spection. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡±
¡°Impossible,¡± Gu Chu replied confidently. ¡°He won¡¯t touch that kind of woman because he thinks it¡¯s dirty!¡±
Besides, they did it quite frequent. He couldn¡¯t possibly be so energetic?
Gu Chu thought about it carefully and felt that this was unlikely. If it was true, then there was something wrong with her taste. She couldn¡¯t really fall for that kind of man, could she?
Lin Yin also felt that it made sense. ¡°To be honest, if CEO Feng went to the brothel, he was the one who should be paid.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°We¡¯ll wait for your brother¡¯s news.¡±
Speaking of the devil, Gu Chu¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Feng Jia.
However, Gu Chu didn¡¯t really want to talk to him, so she muted it.
However, Feng Jia was quite persistent. He called her three times.
Gu Chu handed the phone to Lin Yin in annoyance. ¡°Help me answer it.¡±
Lin Yin put it on speaker.
After getting hung up three times in a row, CEO Feng¡¯s tone was still calm. ¡°I¡¯m downstairs at yourpany. Let¡¯s have dinner tonight.¡±
Gu Chu was surprised.
CEO Feng rarely did what a boyfriend would do. He was not romantic at all.
Other than his tricks in bed, he had almost no EQ.
Justst weekend, she had to trick him to go to dinner with her.
She pursed her lips and looked disinterested.
Lin Yin cleared her voice. ¡°CEO Feng, this is Lin Yin.¡±
Feng Jia paused. ¡°Where¡¯s Gu Chu?¡±
Lin Yin looked at her for help.
She typed a line on theputer expressionlessly.
Lin Yin took a look and swallowed. How was the she supposed to say this?
She kept blinking her eyes.
Gu Chu nodded.
Lin Yin said boldly, ¡°Gu Chu said that she wants to experience the vibrator that she just bought. She also said that if you need it, you can buy an intable doll.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
Lin Yin continued, ¡°She said that it¡¯s better than you. With electricity, she can stay up all day, so she¡¯s very happy. She hopes you¡¯ll like it too.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
In the Maybach, Feng Jia was silent for a long time.
Finally, he said with a heavy tone, ¡°Give her back her phone.¡±
¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible.¡± Lin Yin was also very stubborn. ¡°CEO Feng, Chuchu has been wronged by you. If you don¡¯t make things clear, she won¡¯t see you for the time being!¡±
Chapter 91 - How to Coax Gu Chu?
Chapter 91: How to Coax Gu Chu?
Then, Lin Yin quickly said, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I have to go.¡±
Feng Jia threw his phone on the passenger seat, his hands heavily tapping on the steering wheel.
At this time, a couple who were quarreling happened to pass by.
The woman cried, ¡°Let¡¯s break up! I don¡¯t want to see you anymore! Get lost!¡±
The man was confused. ¡°You don¡¯t own this street, why should I get lost?¡±
The woman was really angry. Her eyes were red and she threw her bag at the man. ¡°Go to hell!¡±
Women were all the same when they were angry.
Feng Jia expressionlessly rolled up the car window and stepped on the gas. Soon, he drove out of the district.
Gu Chu was obviously angry this morning. He wanted to chase after her, but he had an early meeting. It was very important and he couldn¡¯t be dyed, so he had to go to the office first.
Later on, he wanted to send her a text but he kept picking up his phone and putting it down. He did not know what to say.
Monday was always busy, he forced himself to catch up on his work and left work an hour earlier to pick up the little vixen.
However, he was given the cold shoulder.
In the past two years, it was not that he and Gu Chu had never quarreled. It was just that they had always been straightforward. In Gu Chu¡¯s words, even if they quarreled, they had to understand whose fault it was.
They were both rational people who were straightforward.
Therefore, after a quarrel, after they talked in out and had sex, they would basically move on.
If they could not move on, it meant that they had not done it enough and needed to do it again.
Of course, there would be a cold war between them at times.
For example, the one that happened half a month ago. Coincidentally, he had very important work overseas that would affect the first quarter result of the Feng Corporation, so he had to be there personally. During this period, he could only make a few calls and send her a few text messages.
However, she always ignored him.
The green light came on. He started the car and drove all the way to his house.
So, she didn¡¯t want toe back this time?
Then was it considered a cold war now?
Then, how long would itst this time?
As long as thest time?
Feng Jia was panicking inside. He picked up the phone and opened Wechat, wanting to send her a text message.
At this moment, Meng Lang suddenly sent a text message. ¡°Feng Jia, are you free tonight? Bring Chuchu over for a drink.¡±
Feng Jia replied to him first. ¡°She¡¯s not going.¡±
¡°Why?¡± He replied so quickly. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t even ask Gu Chu.
¡°She¡¯s angry.¡±
A few secondster, Meng Lang called him and he picked up.
¡°Even though it¡¯s only a few words, I know what you¡¯re thinking. You want me to give you some advice on how to appease Gu Chu, is that right?¡±
Meng Lang was the typical son of the rich.
He spent money like water, burning it without even blinking. His daily routine was hanging out with women and driving around. With a few words, he could coax a girl into submission.
There was no shortage of women around him.
However, Feng Jia smiled. ¡°No.¡±
He knew how to coax Gu Chu and did not need anyone to teach him.
Meng Lang ignored him. ¡°You are the only one who never sumbed to Gu Chu¡¯s tyranny. But I never thought that you would eventually sumb!¡±
¡°No man will always stand firm against her!¡±
Feng Jia was toozy to listen. ¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°Wait a minute! I can teach you something! Although I don¡¯t know how to coax a prideful little rose like Gu Chu, every time her mood changes, I will smile obsequiously. The more obsequious it is, the better. Do you understand?¡±
Feng Jia did not hang up because he was being polite.
When he finishedughing, he said, ¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
This time, he really did.
But very quickly, Meng Lang sent another Wechat message. ¡°I advise you not to try to reason with her.¡±
Although he hung up on him, Meng Lang was a loyal friend.
He sent another message. ¡°When a woman is angry, you can¡¯t reason with her, even if she is as rational as Gu Chu. If you insist on doing so, you are undoubtedly courting death.¡±
¡°That is why men should have thicker skin. Say something nice and coax her.¡±
Feng Jia read the message quietly and did not reply.
Meng Lang: ¡°You must coax her immediately if she¡¯s angry. Otherwise, in two days, she will ask who you are. Since you¡¯re not married, if she said she has nothing to do with you, then there¡¯s nothing between the two of you. Even if you go to the police, they will only think that you are harassing her!¡±
Chapter 92 - It was Really Feng Jia
Chapter 92: It was Really Feng Jia
Meng Lang: ¡°So, you must go to Gu Chu immediately. No matter what you do, you must appease her!¡±
On the surface, Feng Jia didn¡¯t take his words to heart, but in fact, he had already started the car again and returned to the business district.
Traffic on the way back was very bad. Normally, it was less than twenty minutes¡¯ drive, but he was stuck in traffic for more than an hour.
When he reached the ground floor of the Gu building, he looked up and found that the light in her office had been turned off.
His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. Heughed out of frustration and picked up his phone to call Gu Chu again.
At that time, Gu Chu was happily eating hotpot with Lin Yin.
When she saw the phone call, she hesitated for a moment. Should she pick it up or not?
After thinking about it, she picked it up. She wanted to see what he wanted to say.
Feng Jia didn¡¯t expect her to pick up the phone. He paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Chuchu.¡±
Gu Chu only replied with an ¡°Hmm.¡±
¡°Where are you?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to see you, and I don¡¯t want to go back with you.¡±
She ordered a spicy pot, but her tone was so cold that there was no heat at all.
Feng Jia controlled his voice. ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡±
¡°If you have something to say, say it now. If not, then forget it.¡±
Feng Jia fell silent again. Gu Chu just assumed that he didn¡¯t want to say it, and didn¡¯t force him, so she hung up the phone.
She was stubborn
Lin Yin, who was opposite her, couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up when she saw her being so harsh.
Gu Chu snorted. Anyway, this was how he usually treated her. She just learned from him and returned the favor.
Lin Yin ced a slice of beef in her bowl and asked, ¡°What result do you expect by the end of this? Do you just want him to respect you?¡±
She nodded slightly.
Yes and no.
It was true that she liked him.
After spending a lot of time together, their rtionship had changed. She had feelings for him, so she wanted him to feel the same way.
But now, it seemed that it was not likely.
So, she didn¡¯t know what to do.
That was it.
At this moment, her phone screen lit up. Lin Yin asked, ¡°It¡¯s him again?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°No, it¡¯s your brother.¡±
Lin Yu sent her a document. He said, ¡°A friend just sent it to me. I didn¡¯t read it yer, you can read it first.¡±
Gu Chu opened the document. After reading a few lines, her pupils constricted.
She put down her phone and looked at Lin Yin.
Lin Yin was puzzled. ¡°?¡±
Gu Chu then said slowly, ¡°If you lose your job as a dancer one day, maybe you can be a private detective.¡±
Lin Yin didn¡¯t understand what she meant. She picked up her phone and read it.
Then, she revealed a shocked expression just like her.
The two of them looked at each other, then picked up their chopsticks at the same time and started eating. Eating was more important than anything else.
*
They ate hotpot in a shopping center, so after they finished eating, they went shopping.
The two of them were VIP customers of various major brands, so they could buy anything they wanted.
Gu Chu did not have a strong desire to shop, so she just apanied Lin Yin.
After shopping, the two went to a milk tea shop. They huddled together as if they had endless things to say. They waited until the shop was closing before they left.
It was already past eleven o¡¯clock. There were few cars on the road, so they arrived quickly at Lin Yin¡¯s small vi.
They ate, drank, shopped, and chatted happily.
On the way back, they could not walk properly. They swayed left and right, chatting andughing.
Lin Yin¡¯s eyes were sharp. She suddenly saw a tall figure at her house. Although she could not see the face cearly, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.
She nudged Gu Chu¡¯s arm. ¡°Look! That figure, doesn¡¯t he look familiar? Is it Feng Jia?¡±
Gu Chu smiled without even looking. How could he be here?
However, she really saw a Maybach by the roadside. ¡°Sigh, look, it¡¯s the same brand of car as his! But he¡¯s not the only one in this world who drives it.¡±
They took another two steps forward, and then Lin Yin suddenly shouted, ¡°Gu Chu! Gu Chu! It¡¯s really him!¡±
Gu Chu looked over, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
The man¡¯s coat was casually draped over his arm. Compared to how serious he was during the day, he looked more casual at night.
He didn¡¯t know how long he had been standing there. His hair was a little messy in the cold wind, and the light above his head lit up one side of his body.
On the other side of the light, his broad shoulders and narrow waist were clearly outlined.
Chapter 93 - Almost Argued Again
Chapter 93: Almost Argued Again
Gu Chu¡¯s nerves tensed up. She didn¡¯t think it was really him.
But in the next moment, she rxed. Gu Chu didn¡¯t look at him and was about to walk past him. After all, they were going back to their own home, so what was there to be afraid of?
When they brushed past each other, he grabbed her hand.
He was a cold person, but his palm was hot.
Perhaps it was because he had not spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse. ¡°Let¡¯s have a chat.¡±
Gu Chu was about to reject him when she heard what he said next.
¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you for 4 hours.¡±
4 hours? Gu Chu was surprised.
She looked up at him. His eyes had always been cold. Now that it waste at night, his gaze was even darker than the night.
Gu Chu met his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t think I asked you to wait?¡±
It was as if it was her fault.
Feng Jia said slowly, ¡°Really?¡±
Gu Chu gritted her teeth. This person really had her by the balls.
She was speechless.
She twisted his hand away, but he took the bag from her hand and handed it to Lin Yin.
He said, ¡°Please help her take it in.¡±
He was implying that he wanted to be alone with Gu Chu.
Gu Chu stared at Lin Yin, hinting at her. If she dared to leave her alone with the bastard, she would definitely not let her off!
Lin Yin took the bag without hesitation and said goodbye. She immediately opened the door and walked in.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She wanted to learn from Feng Jia¡¯s sister, Feng Pei, who liked to roll her eyes.
Feng Jia saw Lin Yin leave and said in a low voice, ¡°A suspect is allowed to defend himself in court. You won¡¯t even give me a chance to defend myself?¡±
Gu Chu snickered. ¡°That¡¯s the country¡¯sw. You¡¯re in my court now. I don¡¯t want to hear your defense, so no matter what you say, it¡¯s pointless.¡±
Feng Jia gritted his teeth. ¡°You¡¯re really unreasonable.¡±
Gu Chu had an expression that implied, ¡°This is me, so what?¡±
Previously, she was always left speechless by him. Now, he finally had a taste of his own medicine.
She realizedter that her arm was still being held by him, so she withdrew her hand.
Feng Jia looked at his empty palm and asked unwillingly, ¡°Is there really no chance to appeal? I¡¯ve waited for 4 hours. Can you make an exception?¡±
Gu Chu raised an eyebrow. ¡°No, there¡¯s no exception. There¡¯s no point in pleading for mercy. I¡¯m a little tired after being out all night. I want to go back to sleep. Move aside.¡±
Feng Jia was tall. He stood there and blocked her way. ¡°No.¡±
Is he being a scoundrel now?
Actually, she nned to ignore him for a few days, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be so aggressive today.
He had called her, waited for her downstairs at the office, and now waited for her for four hours at Lin Yin¡¯s ce.
She had to admit that she was quite taken with him.
However, this did not mean that he really cared about her. He did not realize it in the past. Today, she ¡°left¡±, so he suddenly realized it?
She did not want to argue with him. She just hoped that he cared about her.
So, does he care about her now?
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t wrap her head around it. As long as he apologized now and expressed that he would respect her in the future, and then said something nice, she would forgive him.
Hold on. He hadn¡¯t said anything yet, and she was already fantasizing about it?
She said arrogantly, ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don¡¯t block my path.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s first sentence destroyed her fantasy. ¡°Why are you angry?¡±
It turned out that he had no idea what she was angry about.
She widened her eyes in disbelief. ¡°You don¡¯t know what I¡¯m angry about?¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°It¡¯s not the first time we¡¯ve done something like this. We¡¯ve done something wilder than this before.¡±
Gu Chu was instantly enraged. ¡°So? Just because it¡¯s not the first time, you can do it whenever you want?¡±
He only needed to say a few words to enrage her.
She was furious. ¡°Thest time I was drunk, you were also messing around with me when I was unconscious. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re disrespecting me?¡±
Feng Jia frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this kind of thing natural? Don¡¯t tell me you have to burn some incense in advance, check the time, and then check the Feng Shui before you can do it?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
What kind of twisted logic is this?
Chapter 94 - Do You Like Me?
Chapter 94: Do You Like Me?
Feng Jia took a step closer to her. His aura almost made her unable to breathe.
He stared at her and said slowly, ¡°Your reaction back then did not seem like you¡¯re rejecting it.¡±
So, what he meant was that after he flirted with her, her body would react ordingly, meaning that she would agree to whatever he wanted?
Gu Chu was a little annoyed. ¡°That¡¯s because I was drunk and fell asleep. All of my reactions were subconscious.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t reject me when you were awake either. Since the oue is the same, why is the beginning so important?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Fine!
The rapist defended himself by saying that the girl he raped was enjoying it.
But so what? Does this mean that he didn¡¯tmit a crime?
Gu Chu chuckled. ¡°CEO Feng, you¡¯re really eloquent.¡±
¡°It has nothing to do with eloquence.¡± He suddenly moved closer to her and lowered his body slightly.
She subconsciously stepped back, but in the next second, her waist tightened and she was hugged by him.
He slowly lowered his head and nted a gentle kiss on her red lips.
It was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. They parted at the first touch.
Gu Chu was in a daze.
She had to admit that his looks were to her taste. He had a pair of sexy eyes with double eyelids. The ends of his eyes were slightly raised, and his nose bridge was high. Even his thin lips were very sexy and charming.
If it wasn¡¯t for his appearance, they might not hook up back then.
Her eyshes trembled slightly, and he chuckled.
She felt like beating him up.
Her breathing became erratic just from a kiss and a gentle touch.
If they were in bed right now and did a little more, she would probably take off her clothes. Not only that, she would even take the initiative to strip him.
Gu Chu snapped back to reality. What the f * ck was this? Was this considered seduction?!
She suddenly got angry and pushed him away. ¡°You beast!¡±
Her mind instantly cleared up. She said, ¡°I was almost tricked by you. You said all of this because you didn¡¯t think you did anything wrong. So what else is there to talk about?¡±
How stupid was she.
It¡¯s more likely that she¡¯d save the world than him admitting that he was wrong.
She took a step back and waved her hand. ¡°Take care, I won¡¯t see you out!¡±
Goodbye!
She did not want to see him again, that bastard!
She was about to walk in in anger. Feng Jia grabbed her arm, and she expected it. So she flicked her arm and kicked him.
Feng Jia was pushed away and kicked. Instead of dodging, he chased after her and did not give up.
Gu Chu was really furious. She wouldn¡¯t let him touch her. Feng Jia took a big step and blocked the door. She didn¡¯t even stop and directly crashed into his chest.
He hugged her.
He said stubbornly, ¡°I became a beast because of you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Her heartbeat slowed down a beat.
Lin Yin found a good position and was watching from the second floor. At this moment, her eyes were wide open and she cried out in his heart, ¡°F * ck!¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s heartbeat slowed down. What did he mean?
After a long while, she said, ¡°CEO Feng, I¡¯ve been angry for so long, and you want to dismiss it with just one sentence?¡±
Feng Jia gently stroked her back and coaxed her like he was coaxing a child, ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth.¡±
The truth? The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Feng Jia, do you like me?¡±
Adults should be straightforward. Why should they beat around the bush?
There was no need to be awkward. They just needed to be straightforward.
Feng Jia was slightly taken aback. The question was rather abrupt, he thought for a moment before replying, ¡°Do you think that I would choose Gu Wan? How many times do you want me to say that my rtionship with her is not what you think. If you want, we can go and get a marriage certificate at any time.¡±
Gu Chu took a deep breath. ¡°What I am asking is, do you like me? If it weren¡¯t for the contract between the Feng and Gu families, would you still choose me?¡±
Feng Jia was very serious at that moment. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the contract, you and I would have been married to whoever was arranged by the contract. We might have only met on certain asions, or we might not have known each other at all.¡±
His words were too damn realistic!
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°If! I said if! We¡¯re both ordinary people and we know each other, would you still like me?¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
He suddenlyughed. ¡°Yes.¡±
Chapter 95 - I Worship You
Chapter 95: I Worship You
The word sounded so nice. Gu Chu did not even realize that her body had already softened and was lying against his body.
Feng Jia immediately added, ¡°I worship you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°!¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°!¡±
She immediately closed the window and did not continue to listen.
Gu Chuined to her every day about the bastard Feng Jia, causing her to think that Feng Jia was a stoic man.
Now, it seemed that it was all false, wasn¡¯t he good at sweet-talking?
He worships her? Hehe, that was a clever word.
Gu Chu liked being worshiped.
Lin Yiny on the sofa with a smile on her face.
She also wanted to experience sweet love!
There was a moment of silence downstairs until Feng Jia asked her, ¡°Are you hungry?¡±
What kind of hunger?
Physically or physiologically?
What was she thinking about?
Gu Chu came back to her senses and said, ¡°I ate a lot tonight. I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡±
¡°Then eat something with me? I haven¡¯t eaten anything since noon.¡±
¡°Did I starve you?¡±
Gu Chu chided him, but she was thinking about the surroundings of the vi.
The vi area they were in didn¡¯t have many restaurants around it. If they wanted to eat, they had to go to the residential area.
Feng Jia said, ¡°I was not in the mood.¡±
Gu Chu could sense that he was buying sympathy.
CEO Feng was indeed a businessman. He knew how to take advantage of every opportunity.
Gu Chu pushed him away and opened the door to enter the house. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb you while you eat. Take care and see yourself out.¡±
Feng Jia quickly grabbed her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s chat for a while more?¡±
Gu Chu turned to look at him. ¡°You¡¯re not hungry anymore?¡±
Feng Jia smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve waited for you for more than 4 hours and we¡¯ve only spoken a few sentences. I feel like I¡¯ve lost out.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
How many times is he going to use this card?
Gu Chu rolled her eyes. Fine.
It would be a waste not to ask the person who delivered himself to her door.
She turned her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you want to talk, but you have to show some sincerity.¡±
Feng jia: ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Did you already know Gu Wan before she returned?¡±
He stood against the light, his face mostly hidden in the shadows. After a moment of silence, he asked, ¡°Must I answer this?¡±
¡°Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m still obsessed with this matter? If you don¡¯t answer me, I¡¯ll investigate it myself.¡±
She would definitely figure it out.
Feng Jia answered her, ¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu bit her lower lip and asked, ¡°How did you meet?¡±
¡°I went to the capital on a business trip and met her by chance. She was in some trouble at that time and asked me for help, so I helped her. After I came back, we didn¡¯t contact each other anymore. Strictly speaking, we¡¯ve only met once, so we don¡¯t really know each other.¡±
As he spoke, he walked toward the car, and Gu Chu couldn¡¯t help but follow him.
She thought about it, and she became confused.
Feng Jia opened the car door, took out a suit jacket from inside, and put it on Gu Chu.
Gu Chu, the little vixen, was the kind of woman who wanted grace but not warmth. It was midnight, the coldest time of the day.
Gu Chu felt the warmth and could not help but shiver. She asked, ¡°Is there anything to do with a person with the surname Shi?¡±
Feng Jia closed the door and was a little surprised. ¡°You already knew?¡±
It was really true. Gu Chu replied, ¡°I asked someone to find out.¡±
Since she had already found out, he had nothing to hide. ¡°After she returned to the Gu family, she came to me in private and begged me not to tell anyone about this. I thought there was nothing much to say, so I agreed.¡±
¡°The two times that I saw you and Gu Wan meeting in private?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Alright, she finally understood.
Gu Wan was someone¡¯s mistress at that time.
The document that Lin Yu passed to her had detailed information on Gu Wan¡¯s university days. Some of it could be verified, some not. Among them, there were a few things that were more crucial.
Gu Wan had entered the University of Finance and Economics with high grades. There should have been government subsidies for tuition fees, but even so, she still did a lot of part-time work during her college years.
Why?
She was short of money.
The debt came from her adoptive parents.
Her adoptive parents were surnamed Chen. In her senior year of high school, they were severely injured due to a dispute. The perpetrator¡¯s family was poor and could not afford to pay the medical fees. She took many loans in order to treat her adoptive parents.
Even so, her adoptive parents died soon after.
Chapter 96 - Feng Jia’s Explanation
Chapter 96: Feng Jia¡¯s Exnation
Although her adoptive parents had died, she still had to pay the debt.
In her sophomore year, she met a man surnamed Shi. The man was already middle-aged, had a wife and children, and was a small business owner. He owned a few small businesses and helped her pay off the debt.
So, they developed a kind of sugar-daddy and sugar-baby rtionship.
After that, they maintained the rtionship for the entirety of her university life.
Although there was no way to prove it, her roommates all knew about this.
After university, she and Mr. Shi were on and off. It was not until the Gu family found her that theypletely broke up.
Gu Chu guessed that Mr. Shi must have met Qiao Qiao when he brought Gu Wan out for social gatherings. That was why Qiao Qiao thought Gu Wan looked familiar.
Although Mr. Shi appeared to be generous to Gu Wan on the surface, he was prone to violence. To put it bluntly, he was abusive.
It was said that he had beaten and scolded Gu Wan regardless of the asion.
When Feng Jia went to the capital on a business trip, Mr. Shi and Gu Wan happened to be staying at the same hotel.
It happened so that Mr. Shi became violent and hit her again. She couldn¡¯t take it anymore and ran out. She ran to the hotel corridor and bumped into Feng Jia.
She asked Feng Jia for help, and Feng Jia called the police. That was all.
Later, they met in Haicheng City. Feng Jia didn¡¯t expect Gu Wan, whom he had met once, to be the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Gu Wan was afraid that he would tell others about her past, so she secretly begged him to keep quiet.
Feng Jia wasn¡¯t a person who liked to talk bad about others behind their backs, so he agreed.
After hearing all this, Gu Chorted coldly. ¡°You¡¯re quite a man of your word. I¡¯ve asked you many times, but you haven¡¯t said a single word.¡±
When she heard their conversation in the vist time, she thought that there was something going on between them.
Feng Jia said, ¡°I¡¯ve told you many times before. I have nothing to do with her. It¡¯s you who doesn¡¯t believe me.¡±
¡°Then think about it from my perspective. If Lin Yu and Idid things in private and I only told you that there¡¯s nothing going on between us. What would you think?¡±
Feng Jia paused.
Gu Chu sneered. ¡°You don¡¯t have to answer me. We only worked together on a project, and you¡¯re already so jealous. You even tried to trick me into giving up on the project. If my rtionship with him was asplicated as yours, you would have locked me up at home long ago.¡±
¡°So, I am angry about your rtionship with her because you¡¯ve been holding back.¡±
His gaze was initially calm. Now, it was as if someone had thrown a pebble at the sea, causing ripples.
After a long while, he said, ¡°Never again.¡±
He had always been a man of his word, so she believed him.
She returned his suit jacket to him. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. You should go back.¡±
He looked at her. ¡°You¡¯re not going back with me?¡±
¡°Of course not. Do I have to go back with you just because you said some nice things?¡± Gu Chu looked him up and down. ¡°You might be good-looking, but dream on.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu turned around and swaggered into the Linyin¡¯s vi. Then, she mmed the door shut.
Feng Jia stood by the car in a daze for a long time before looking down at the coat in his hand.
The coat was still warm, but she was gone.
After Gu Chu entered the small vi, she leaned against the door and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Since when did the b * stard learn how to say sweet things?
Was she that easy? She actually forgave him just like that?
Gu Chu was in a very good mood. After pacing around the living room for a while, she finally went upstairs.
The small vi was originally upied by the Lin siblings. In the past, when Lin Yu was around, it was not appropriate for Gu Chu toe. When she wanted to chat with Lin Yin at night, she would always ask her to go over to her ce, so this was her first time staying here.
Lin Yin was still watching a dance video. When she saw her return, she was a little surprised. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go back with him?¡±
Gu Chu replied while removing her makeup, ¡°I wanted to, but I wanted to let my body rest a bit.¡±
She didn¡¯t want to be so indulgent at such a young age.
Lin Yin: ¡°...¡±
She turned off the video expressionlessly. She was a little shocked.
She asked Gu Chu, ¡°By the way, did he exin what¡¯s going on between him and Gu Wan?¡±
Chapter 97 - She was in No Hurry
Chapter 97: She was in No Hurry
Gu Chu threw away the cotton that she used to remove her makeup and took another piece. ¡°He¡¯s exined everything.¡±
The misunderstanding between them was also cleared up.
Also, she did not know how Gu Wan found her way back, and why her parents hid it from her.
But now she understood.
Her parents must have known that Gu Wan was previously kept as a mistress, which was why they hid it.
It was not surprising that her mother¡¯s attitude towards her had changed drastically the moment she came back. She had been deceived by Gu Wan and Gu Wan also said that she was the reason she went missing, so her mother had thought that if it were not for her, Gu Wan would not have suffered so much.
Gu Chu thought that she must go back and have a heart-to-heart talk with her mother after she settled these matters in the next two days.
She could not let her mother me her for something that she had not done.
Lin Yin, who did not know what she was thinking, sighed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Gu Wan to have such a past. I actually feel sorry for her.¡±
However, she changed her attitude in the next second. ¡°No, she¡¯s still very annoying. It¡¯s true that she¡¯s very pitiful, but she shouldn¡¯t have tried to take her sister¡¯s fianc¨¦!¡±
Gu Chu said calmly, ¡°I think she¡¯s pretty amazing.¡±
Lin Yin looked at her in confusion.
She replied, ¡°The year her adoptive parents got into trouble, she was in her third year of high school. It was a critical moment in her life. She actually performed well and got into the University of Finance and Economics. If it wasn¡¯t for this incident, wouldn¡¯t she have gotten into the best university?¡±
Not everyone could do it.
Lin Yin felt the same way. ¡°How old was she at that time?¡±
Gu Chu did some calctions. ¡°About neen.¡±
¡°She just became an adult?¡± Lin Yin became quiet.
She had just be an adult and her adoptive parents were seriously injured in the hospital. She also owed a lot of debts and had to bear the responsibility all by herself. This was not easy.
Lin Yin suddenly sighed. ¡°When I saw you and CEO Feng acting like that just now, I kind of missed Mr. Scar. Sigh!¡±
Gu Chu seemed to have thought of something, but she was distracted by what she said, so she continued the topic, ¡°You haven¡¯t been in a rtionship for so many years because of him?¡±
Lin Yin retorted, ¡°Not really. It¡¯s mainly because a man will affect my perfect dance moves.¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Then if you were in a rtionship and he appeared suddenly, what would you do?¡±
Lin Yin immediately said, ¡°Do you even need to ask? I¡¯d definitely choose him. My rtionship with any man would not be as deep as that with him.¡±
Gu Chu fell silent.
She didn¡¯t know whether to sympathize with her future boyfriend or toment that she was loyal.
The so-called Mr. Scar had a scar on his shoulder.
It was her 18th birthday. She had a birthday party on a cruise. She didn¡¯t warm up before going into the water. Halfway through the swim, she suddenly had a cramp in her calf and sank to the bottom of the sea.
At that moment, a man jumped into the sea and saved her. At that time, she was barely breathing. She couldn¡¯t see anything and only vaguely felt a scar on the man¡¯s shoulder. She tried her best to open her eyes, and it looked like a knife scar.
When Gu Chu first heard about this, she was hoping that they would get together. However, after so many years, she still couldn¡¯t find her scarred hero.
Therefore, her enthusiasm slowly subsided.
Gu Chu was not in the mood. ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡±
However, Lin Yin was in high spirits. ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡±
¡°No way.¡± Gu Chu smiled mischievously. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll suddenly go wild and pounce on me.¡±
Ms. Lin winked. ¡°Give me a chance.¡±
Gu Chu immediately closed the door.
*
The next morning, when they arrived at the office, the secretary chased after Gu Chu and asked, ¡°Are you going to buy the hot spring machines today?¡±
Gu Chu was very calm. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±
¡°Then, do you want to have lunch with Manager Zhao from Shengyan?¡±
Gu Chu was a little puzzled. ¡°Why her?¡±
The secretary said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to talk to her? It¡¯ll be easier if you meet up. Or have you already made an appointment with the CEO?¡±
Gu Chu shrugged. ¡°I haven¡¯t.¡±
Wasn¡¯t she too calm? The secretary was worried for her. ¡°Tomorrow is the board of directors¡¯ meeting. Our contract hasn¡¯t been finalized yet. ¡°Also, I heard that the deputy director seemed to have talked to the chairman and CEO Li yesterday. When CEO Li left the chairman¡¯s office, he was very unhappy and said that he was waiting for your exnation tomorrow.¡±
Gu Chu was still calm andposed. ¡°Just go and do your work.¡±
The secretary was dismissed. Gu Chu felt more at peace.
She even took the time to call Lin Yu who was in the capital. She said that she had seen the document and it was very useful. She even asked him about the progress of the project.
Chapter 98 - He Came to Pick Her Up
Chapter 98: He Came to Pick Her Up
Lin Yu said he would be back on Friday evening, and and that he would her the details then, so Gu Chu invited him to dinner and offered to pick him up from the airport which he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Chu thought about it and called Feng Jia.
He was in the middle of an online meeting, listening to a report. When he saw Gu Chu¡¯s call, he muted the video.
The manager continued speaking, unaware that Mr. Feng had already muted him.
¡°Chuchu.¡± Feng Jia turned his back to the screen and answered the phone.
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Are you free tonight? I remember that you are a member of Jia Ren Club, there seems to be a party tonight and I am quite interested, can you take me there?¡±
She paused for a moment and added, ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re not free, it¡¯s ok, I¡¯ll go ask my dad.¡±
Feng Jia pinched his brow and asked, ¡°If I go, will youe back with me tonight?¡±
Instead of answering, Gu Chu asked, ¡°If I say I won¡¯t, then you won¡¯t take me even if you¡¯re free?¡±
Feng Jia smiled, ¡°I have a condition.¡±
¡°Say it.¡±
¡°I choose the dress.¡±
¡°Okay, send it to my apartment.¡±
Gu Chu left work early at five o¡¯clock, then went back to the apartment and took a shower. At about six thirty, the dress was delivered.
She had to admit that she liked his taste.
The plum-colored halter dress had a deep V-neck, was backless and the front was adorned with sequins. After wearing it, one would look sexy and shy.
She put on makeup, curled her hair, and at 7:30 p.m., he came to pick her up on time.
Gu Chu opened the door, Feng Jia was wearing a dark blue suit standing at her doorway. Their eyes met.
She stopped and winked at him.
Feng Jia¡¯s expression was always cold, but she still caught a glimpse of amazement in the bottom of his eyes.
He opened the box in his hands, and insidey a pair of sapphire earrings.
He took them out, ced the box in her hand, and put the earrings on her.
Under the light, they glittered.
He whispered in her ear, ¡°I stopped at three shops before I picked these, they really suit you.¡±
Gu Chu was a little surprised: ¡°You went to pick them out yourself?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
He picked out the pair of earrings among the dazzling array jewelry.¡¡¡¡T
The corners of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curved lightly. Indeed they looked good.
The requirements to be a member of Jia Ren Club were high. All members had to be referred by existing members.
When Gu Chu just returned to the country, she wanted to join and applied for their membership, but because she did not meet the wealth standard, she was rejected.
He drove the same Mayback as he always did.
The driver was waiting by the car. Gu Chu was about to lift hem of her skirt when Feng Jia bent down and did it for her.
When they got into the car, he asked, ¡°Why are you interested in the party?¡±
Gu Chu said honestly, ¡°Because Chairman Wang will also be there.¡±
There is nothing to hide, after all, he would know when he sees him there.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes sank. ¡°This is the second time you¡¯re using me.¡±
Gu Chu felt guilty for a moment but soon she said righteously, ¡°If you do well tonight, I¡¯lle back with you.¡±
Recently in Haicheng City had been raining at night, and tonight was no exception. It was drizzling just as they arrived.
The waiter greeted them with a ck umbre, ¡°Mr. Feng, Miss Gu, good evening.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows, it was not surprising for them to know Feng Jia since he was a member, but how did he know her?
Were they so professional that they knew her because she was with Feng Jia?
It can¡¯t be because she¡¯s the ¡°flower of Haicheng City¡± as Meng Lang said, right?
Feng Jia held Gu Chu with one hand and took the umbre with the other, reminding her, ¡°Be careful when you walk.¡±
Gu Chu nodded.
The ce was elegant. It was an old mansion hidden in a quiet and deep alley.
The ckcquer door and the twonterns hanging under the eaves seemed inconspicuous at first nce, but it was different the moment one stepped inside.
There small bridges, fountains, nine curved corridors, with rockery and trees.
It was supposed to bete autumn when trees withered, but there was lush greenery here. It was clear that the gardener put a lot of effort into it.
Chapter 99 - Bickering with Feng Pei
Chapter 99: Bickering with Feng Pei
Two years ago, Gu Chu and her father came here once. It was summer at that time, but as soon as she entered the door, she felt the coolness of early autumn. At that time, she thought it was strange. How did they do that?
She wanted to ask, but then a friend of her father came up to them so she didn¡¯t get to ask.
Now that she thought about it, this club probably liked to go against the seasons to differentiate itself from the other clubs. In the summer, it disyed the autumn scene, and in the autumn, it disyed the summer scene. This way, every customer who entered the club would feel different.
The waiter silently led the way. Gu Chu asked Feng Jia casually, ¡°Do youe here often?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°Not really.¡±
¡°They have made it more difficult for people to join now, right? I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯m still not rich enough.¡±
Feng Jia lowered his eyes. ¡°How much do you need? I can help you make up for it.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Are you nning to give me the shares of the Feng Corporation?¡±
Feng Jia said gently, ¡°As a betrothal gift.¡±
Gu Chu curled her lips. He was nice today. He had given her a gown, earrings, and now a betrothal gift. She even wondered if he had taken the wrong medicine today?
¡°You¡¯re so good at talking today?¡±
¡°Everyone knows how to say these things. It depends on whether I want to say it or not.¡±
¡°...¡±
Does that mean he didn¡¯t want to say it before?
When they arrived at the banquet hall, there were already quite a number of guests.
Feng Jia¡¯s presence could not be ignored no matter where he went. Someone recognized him the moment he appeared and ran over to greet him. He politely and distantly socialized with them.
Gu Chu was also used to attending events like these. She was not afraid at all when everyone¡¯s gaze fell on her. He suddenly lowered his head and whispered into her ear, ¡°I¡¯m going to take a call.¡±
After he left, she chatted with the others and went to look for Chairman Wang.
In the end, she did not find him, but she was surprised to see someone else.
Someone who was not supposed to be here.
She narrowed her eyes and walked over.
The teenage girl was wearing a white strapless dress. Her appearance, which was simr to Feng Jia¡¯s, made her stand out in the crowd.
Gu Chu stood behind her and patted her shoulder.
She turned around and was shocked. ¡°Why are you here?¡±
Gu Chu looked at her with a faint smile. ¡°I¡¯m an adult. Compared to you, a minor, it makes more sense for me to be here.¡±
Feng Pei was annoyed. ¡°None of your business.¡±
Gu Chu spoke slowly. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go and ask grandpa?¡±
Feng Pei was actually interested in this well-known club and begged her brother to bring her along. He refused, so she found a friend who was qualified to bring her in. Before they even started, she was caught red-handed by Gu Chu.
She had never liked her, and when she saw that she was using Old Master Feng to threaten her again, she became even more displeased.
¡°Don¡¯t think that you can control me just because grandpa likes you. Let me tell you, I won¡¯t fall for your tricks.¡±
¡°Elder sister-inw is like a mother. I¡¯m sorry, but there¡¯s a high chance that I¡¯ll be your elder sister-inw, so it¡¯s only right for me to control you.¡±
Did she really think that she wanted to control her? If this was really her daughter, she would have long been punished.
Feng Jia had just returned from the phone call.
Gu Chu¡¯s gaze indicated that Feng Pei was here as well.
Feng Jia frowned and went behind Feng Pei.
Feng Pei looked at Gu Chu who was dressed up beautifully and gritted her teeth in hatred. This woman was really annoying!
¡°You can get a divorce even if you¡¯re married. You¡¯re not even married yet. Why are you so smug?¡±
Gu Chu frowned in distress. ¡°Why don¡¯t you like me? Tell me, maybe I can change?¡±
¡°No need! No matter how much you change, I won¡¯t like you!¡±
Feng Jia suddenly spoke from behind her. ¡°Feng Pei, where are your manners?¡±
Feng Pei turned her head abruptly and saw a cold and frosty face. She immediately retracted her fangs and called out shakily, ¡°Br-Brother?¡±
Gu Chu casually sat on the high chair and smiled sweetly. ¡°I forgot to tell you that I came with your brother. Feng Jia, you heard it. I didn¡¯t scold her because of you, but she didn¡¯t appreciate it at all.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t have to do it for me in the future. You can scold her however you want,¡± Feng Jia said.
Gu Chu then brushed the hair beside her ear. ¡°I think that¡¯s not appropriate, right? I haven¡¯t even entered the family yet. If word gets out, I¡¯ll be criticized. At that time, the Feng family¡¯s reputation will be dragged down by me again. You¡¯ll be put in a difficult position.¡±
Chapter 100 - Getting Close to Chairman Wang
Chapter 100: Getting Close to Chairman Wang Boat Trantion
She lowered her eyelids and pretended to be pitiful as she said, ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m not like Feng Pei who can do whatever she wants. I don¡¯t know anything, I only care about your brother.¡±
Feng Pei: ¡°?¡±
Her eyes widened. ¡°You pretentious...¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, Feng Jia reprimanded her. ¡°This is not a ce where you should be. Hurry up and go back.¡±
¡°Brother!¡± Feng Pei stomped her feet in anger. ¡°She was just pretending. She was actually very fierce to me! She¡¯s just pretending to be pitiful when you¡¯re here!¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s voice turned cold. ¡°Do you need me to send you back?¡±
Feng Pei was always afraid of her brother since she was young, and she listened to him the most. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, ¡°Foolish dictator!¡±
Then she left angrily.
Gu Chu burst outughing.
Feng Jia was helpless. ¡°Have you acted enough?¡±
¡°Can you tell?¡± Gu Chu smiled at him.
Feng Jia grunted in reply, ¡°When have you ever lost to her?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°I did it on purpose to disgust her.¡±
Feng Pei walked to the entrance of the clubhouse in exasperation. The chauffeur immediately said, ¡°Miss, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll bring the car over now.¡±
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She just got in. How could she leave now?
She gritted her teeth. Seeing that there was no one around, she turned around and went back.
When she returned, the cocktail party had already started.
In order to match the atmosphere, the lights in the hall had been dimmed. Feng Pei hid on the other side of the long table, trying her best not to be discovered by Gu Chu and Feng Jia.
There were two halves of the event. The first half had begun, and the room temperature was adjusted ordingly.
A waiter dressed in uniform served some exquisite dishes.
Feng Jia whispered to one of them. After he left, he returned with a ss of wine. Feng Jia gave it to Gu Chu. ¡°Drink this.¡±
Gu Chu took a sip curiously. The sweetness of the fruit immediately filled her mouth, she frowned. ¡°Is this wine?¡±
She was drinking juice at a cocktail party?
¡°It¡¯s a type of wine. It doesn¡¯t have too much alcohol, only 3%.¡± Feng Jia knew that she was going to protest again, so he gently interjected. ¡°Don¡¯t you know how much you can drink?¡±
Gu Chu immediately stopped and drank the juice.
Feng Pei heard it. It turned out that Gu Chu couldn¡¯t drink.
Hahaha, she rolled her eyes.
*
When Feng Jia saw Chairman Wang, he turned to Gu Chu and said, ¡°Chairman Wang is here. Pay attention.¡±
The show started. Gu Chu immediately looked at Feng Jia lovingly, like she couldn¡¯t part with him.
Feng Jia was stunned by her nce. He didn¡¯t even notice when Chairman Wang came over and called out to him.
Gu Chu thought to herself, ¡°He¡¯s really immersed in the acting.¡±
She immediately pulled on Feng Jia¡¯s sleeve. If she continued acting, it would seem a little fake! ¡°Feng Jia, it¡¯s Chairman Wang.¡±
Feng Jia came back to his senses and turned to Chairman Wang. ¡°Chairman Wang, you¡¯re here too.¡±
¡°I think there¡¯s some good wine here so that I can go back and stock up the wine cer. CEO Feng, you don¡¯t need to drink right? Since you already look so drunk,¡± Chairman Wang teased him.
Gu Chu looked at Feng Jia and smiled embarrassedly.
Feng Jia picked up the wine ss in his hand and clinked it with that of Chairman Wang¡¯s. Then, they started talking about wines.
He knew a lot about them. He couldment on every type of wine. Although thements were short, they were unique and incisive. They also attracted many other people.
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t get a word in. She just listened quietly at the side, asionally showing a hint of admiration. Feng Jia looked back at her.
After chatting for a while, Feng Jia picked up the phone and said apologetically to Chairman Wang, ¡°Excuse me for a moment. I¡¯m going out to take a call.¡±
Before they left, he didn¡¯t forget to say to Gu Chu, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes shed. So he was warming him first and then left temporarily so that she could get close to Chairman Wang?
He was quite smart tonight!
She suddenly felt like going back with him. What should she do?
But now was not the time to think about all this nonsense.
Gu Chu did not want to waste the opportunity that Feng Jia had created for her. She focused on her career and chatted with Chairman Wang.
Although she did not know about alcohol, she knew how to talk. After listening to Chairman Wang chat for ten minutes, those who wanted to get close to Feng Jia under the pretext of alcohol quickly dispersed when they noticed that he did not return for a long time.
Chapter 101 - Cooperating with Chairman Wang
Chapter 101: Cooperating with Chairman Wang
Only Gu Chu and Chairman Wang were left. Gu Chu looked at him with a troubled expression. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
Chairman Wang noticed her expression and asked with concern, ¡°Miss Gu, it seems that you have something to say to me?¡±
Gu Chu then slowly said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve already discussed this matter with someone from yourpany and we havee to a conclusion. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s such a coincidence to meet you at the party today. I wanted to chat with you again, but I was afraid that you would think that I¡¯m being too presumptuous.¡±
Chairman Wang did not mind. ¡°May I know what it is? You can tell me. Tonight is a casual asion, you can say anything you want. If it¡¯s something inappropriate, I¡¯ll just treat it as a joke.¡±
Gu Chu picked up the wine ss and swirled it against the table, she said unhurriedly, ¡°Gu Corporation wants to buy 180 hot spring machines from Shengyan. We¡¯re in a hurry this time, so we could ept the price increase. However, yourpany¡¯s offer is really far from my budget, so in the end, we were unable toe to an agreement.¡±
Chairman Wang already knew about this matter. He replied politely, ¡°It¡¯s a shame, but we are not the only hot spring machine manufacturer in the country. I believe that the Gu corporation will find a suitable one soon.¡±
¡°Actually, we have already found one.¡± Gu Chu smiled slightly. She opened her bag and took out a form. ¡°My secretary just sent it to me.¡±
Chairman Wang was stunned. He put down his wine ss and took it curiously.
Gu Chu said slowly, ¡°180 units is such a big number and the construction period is very short. It¡¯s very difficult for domestic manufacturers to do it in just one month. However, we n to buy the hot spring machines from 25 manufacturers separately. We¡¯ll ce the order tomorrow morning.¡±
Chairman Wang nced at thepany names and smiled faintly. ¡°I guess this is also a solution.¡±
¡°We even joked that we could test their quality. If it¡¯s good, it won¡¯t be a one-time deal. We might be able to work together for a long time.¡± Gu Chu smiled.
Chairman Wang smiled. ¡°That would save you a lot of trouble.¡±
However, at this moment, Gu Chu changed her tone. ¡°Actually, I still hope to work with Shengyan.¡±
Wang Dong was surprised. ¡°Why?¡±
¡°During the previous bidding, apart from looking at the proposals, we also checked the machines. At that time, I had a good impression of Shengyan. However, it was also because of the price that I had to give up.¡±
¡°This time, when I re-selected a brand, the firstpany I went to was Shengyan. Even though we already have a solution, meeting you here is fate. So, I would like to take the liberty to ask again, is there still a possibility for us to work together?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s gaze was sincere, making it hard for people to reject her.
Feng Pei, who was under the table, snorted in her heart when she heard her words. She thought that she was really eloquent.
In fact, she had been hiding because the light was dim and there were no other guests around, so she was not discovered.
Before she came, she already learnt about the schedule. She knew that the event had two parts, the second half included wine tasting. She could seize the opportunity to prank Gu Chu!
The lights in the hall suddenly turned bright, and the room temperature was raised. The waiters filed in, removed the meat dishes on the table, and reced it with seafood.
The second half of the event had begun.
Feng Pei also knew that this was her chance.
She crouched down and quickly moved toward the ce where the dishes were served.
Gu Chu was still waiting for Chairman Wang¡¯s reply, but she was thinking in her heart, who in the world came up with this business model? It was highly likely that it was an evil capitalist!
Meanwhile, Chairman Wang was still thinking about Gu Chu¡¯s words.
Frankly speaking, he did not want to cooperate with the Gu family because he could not stand their working style.
However, after these two encounters, he realized that the rumors were not true. He did not seem to dislike the Gu family that much. When he heard Gu Chu¡¯s passionate words, he could not help but be moved.
¡°I¡¯m very grateful that Miss Gu thinks so highly of Shengyan. Actually, I also think highly of your rtionship with CEO Feng. It reminds me of me and my wife. However, in business, we can¡¯t just rely on emotions.¡±
Gu Chu understood. ¡°If you¡¯d like, we will ce Shengyan¡¯s logo in a prominent position in the hotel. This would be an advertisement for Shengyan to increase your brand value.¡±
¡°Moreover, we n to build another 20 hotels next year. When that timees, we will use Shengyan¡¯s machines. The Gu family is loyal, I believe that we will be excellent partners.¡±
Chapter 102 - Pranking Feng Jia
Chapter 102: Pranking Feng Jia
Chairman Wang was silent for a long time before revealing a smile. At that moment, a waiter served some wine. He picked it up and took a sniff. He recognized what it was and tilted the ss toward her.
¡°This is Chenin nc. It¡¯s one of my favorite white wines. It¡¯s pretty good, something I¡¯d drink when a contract is signed. Would you like to try it?¡±
Gu Chu immediately smiled. ¡°Of course I would.¡±
She then took a ss. Although there was a hint of hesitation in her heart, when she thought that Feng Jia would be back soon and that it wouldn¡¯t be nice to refuse Chairman Wang at this time, she immediately clinked sses with him.
Then, she drank it in one gulp.
Hmm?
She thought it would be sweet
Why was it so spicy?
Feng Jia seemed to havee back at the right time. It just so happened that Chairman Wang was pulled away by someone he knew to discuss business. He asked her, ¡°How was it? Did it work out?¡±
Gu Chu sighed and said somewhat dejectedly, ¡°No.¡±
Feng Jia felt that the temperature in the room was a little low, so asked the waiter to get a nket andforted her, ¡°You¡¯ll get it next time.¡±
¡°There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Gu Chu¡¯s voice became even lower. ¡°Tomorrow is the meeting with the board of directors. If I can¡¯t get this contract, I¡¯ll definitely have to renew the contract with Meiyang.¡±
She looked a little depressed. It seemed that she was sad about losing the contract.
Feng Jia pinched her chin and raised it slightly. He looked into her eyes and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to work with them, you should give a reason to persuade everyone. No one will agree with you based only on your own opinions.¡±
Gu Chu lowered her eyes and said through gritted teeth, ¡°At the beginning of the year, they came to Haicheng City for an inspection. I was in charge of entertaining them. At first, the conversation was good, but that night, the manager, he...¡±
It had been so long since the incident, but Gu Chu was still so angry that he gnashed her teeth. ¡°He¡¯s dirty!¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes suddenly darkened. ¡°To you?¡±
Gu Chu leaned against his shoulder, she whined coquettishly. ¡°Feng Jia, I can¡¯t renew my contract with Meiyang. Can you help me talk to Chairman Wang? The chairman always helps his wife solve her problems. Why don¡¯t you?¡±
Feng Jia reached out and hugged her. She had an excellent figure and was curvy at all the right ces. She leaned against his body softly and she smelled good.
His Adam¡¯s apple moved a little. At this time, the waiter brought the nket over. He took it and draped it over her back. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t want me to interfere in your business.¡±
¡°Since when? Actually, I¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡± She pouted and said, ¡°Help me get the contract, and I¡¯ll go back with you.¡±
Feng Jia was a little tempted.
Gu Chu urged, ¡°What are you still standing there for? Hurry up andg!¡±
Controlled by his lust, he said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu held back the evil smile on her face. ¡°Hurry up. He¡¯s right there. If you¡¯re any slower, he¡¯ll leave.¡±
Feng Jia saw how anxious she was and immediately left.
Gu Chu watched him leave and burst intoughter.
She had finally pranked him.
She got up from the chair and the nket fell to the ground. Her head was spinning, so she didn¡¯t notice it.
She suddenly felt the alcohol and her footsteps became unsteady.
She thought that with Feng Jia¡¯s intelligence, he might realize that she was messing with him soon, so it was better for her to leave first.
She staggered out of the door. It was better to wait for him in the car. She didn¡¯t want others tough at her.
The sky was still drizzling. The waiter gave her an umbre. Gu Chu waved her hand. ¡°No need. It¡¯s close by¡±
The waiter said, ¡°Please be careful.¡±
After leaving the clubhouse, the driver should havee to pick her up right away, but he didn¡¯t. She wondered if he was ahead, so she continued walking forward.
It was a little difficult to walk in high heels. She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly bumped into someone.
Gu Chu subconsciously apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
The person she bumped into looked like a thug. Initially, the man was about to lose his temper, but when he saw Gu Chu¡¯s face, he was stunned.
Gu Chu went around him and was about to leave. She staggered a little, but the man grabbed her arm. ¡°Hey, pretty girl, are you drunk?¡±
Gu Chu frowned and pulled her hand back. She wiped the ce where he had touched her in disgust and replied, ¡°No.¡±
¡°Then where are you going?¡±
Gu Chu was impatient. ¡°Home.¡±
She swayed as if she was only one step away from fainting. The man suddenly had evil intentions. He held her hand and said, ¡°Come, I will send you home.¡±
And he dragged her away¡
Chapter 103 - Looking for Gu Chu
Chapter 103: Looking for Gu Chu
Just as Gu Chu had expected, Feng Jia felt that something was wrong after taking a few steps. She had been drunk before. Judging from her current state, she must have drunk alcohol when he was not around, and it was very likely that she was already drunk.
Feng Jia gritted his teeth. He should have expected it. This woman was so strong-willed, so how could she coquettishly ask him for help.
He turned around and wanted to settle the score with the woman who was full of lies. However, when Chairman Wang saw him, he thought that he was here to continue the wine tasting. He warmly greeted him, and Feng Jia had to go along with it.
After a few words, he returned. However, when he returned to his seat, it was empty. He only saw a nket on the ground.
He frowned, bent down and picked it up from the ground. He asked the waiter, ¡°Excuse me, where is thedy who was here just now?¡±
The waiter thought for a moment and replied, ¡°She went out.¡±
Feng Jia immediately chased after her. The courtyard was brightly lit, but the lush vegetation blocked his view. He shouted, ¡°Gu Chu, Chu Chu?¡±
The waiter who was guarding the door heard his shout and jogged over. ¡°Mr. Feng, are you looking for Miss Gu?¡±
He asked, ¡°Where is she?¡±
¡°She has already left. I wanted to give her an umbre, but she didn¡¯t take it. She said that a car woulde to pick her up,¡± the doorman answered truthfully.
Feng Jia nodded and strode out of the door. The driver looked at him and quickly drove the car over. Thinking that he was leaving, he called out, ¡°CEO Feng.¡±
Feng Jia looked at the back seat and didn¡¯t see anyone. His heart suddenly tightened. ¡°Where is Gu Chu?¡±
¡°Miss Gu?¡± The driver saw that his expression didn¡¯t look too good and immediately panicked, ¡°I just went to the toilet and left for five minutes, but the car was parked in a very conspicuous ce. Miss Gu should be able to see it, she...¡±
Feng Jia closed his eyes.
She was drunk and left alone. Her whereabouts were unknown.
Feng Jia let out a deep breath. He could not calm down no matter how hard he tried. He said to the driver, ¡°Call all the staff of the clubhouse. Tell them to look for Gu Chu nearby. She is drunk.¡±
The driver did not dare to dy further and quickly got out of the car to look for her.
Feng Jia went back to the club alone to look at the surveince footage.
The surveince camera at the entrance of the club had clearly captured the scene. Gu Chu had only taken a few steps out of the door when she bumped into a man.
After the two of them talked for a minute, she was pulled away by the man.
Feng Jia stared at the screen and his eyes darkened. ¡°Who is this man?¡±
The staff replied, ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like someone from the club. He must be passing by.¡±
So, the drunk Gu Chu was kidnapped?!
Feng Jia zoomed the image to the maximum. It was high-definition, so he took a picture of the man¡¯s face. He first sent the picture to Wang Xiao, then anxiously made a phone call.
¡°Wang Xiao, Gu Chu is missing. I just sent you an address and a photo. Get someone to help search the area. If you can¡¯t find him, then look further.¡±
With Wang Xiao¡¯s family background, it would be easy for him to find out where Gu Chu was.
Feng Jia rarely spoke to them, so if he asked, it was a big deal. He immediately said, ¡°Okay.¡±
After he hung up the phone, he quickly got up from the bed, grabbed the leather jacket on the coat hanger with one hand, and the car keys with the other, and quickly left the house.
It was now past ten o¡¯clock in the evening, and the night was blurry from the rain. The sky seemed to have cast ayer of haze over people¡¯s hearts.
After the staff of the club learned that one of their guests had gone missing, they immediately activated the first-level emergency n and sent people who to look for them.
Feng Jia had already asked Wang Xiao for help, so he did not mobilize his own people. Otherwise, if he alerted the people in the old mansion, it would not be good for Gu Chu¡¯s reputation, so he drove around the area alone.
Thunder began to sound in the distance. He picked up his phone again and called Gu Chu, but there was still no answer.
Feng Jia pulled down his cor somewhat impatiently and lowered the car window.
His lips pursed into a straight line.
Last time, when Gu Chu was in danger in Yangcheng City, he knew to call and tell him. This time, she was drunk and probably didn¡¯t even know where she had been taken by the man.
At the thought of this, Feng Jia¡¯s breathing became heavier and heavier. Hepletely lowered the car window and let the rain pour in.
He felt suffocated in his chest, as if there was an invisible hand clutching his heart.
At this moment, his phone rang. It was Wang Xiao calling him. He quickly picked up and asked, ¡°Have you found Gu Chu?
Chapter 104 - Found Gu Chu
Chapter 104: Found Gu Chu
Wang Xiao replied, ¡°I found the man, but I didn¡¯t find Gu Chu. I sent you the man¡¯s address, and I¡¯m on my way there now.¡±
Feng Jia hung up the phone. Seeing that there was no car behind him, he turned around.
The club was an old building hidden in a deep alley. It was connected in all directions. The address that Wang Xiao gave was in an alley one kilometer away from the club.
The car drove to the entrance of the alley, but he could not drive in. He simply got out of the car and followed the navigation.
Wang Xiao arrived first. The door of the man who wanted to take Gu Chu away was kicked open by him. The man was rudely woken up. After being pped awake, he was directly thrown to the ground.
He was dumbfounded. ¡°Who the f * ck are you? Let go of me quickly!¡±
Wang Xiao and his men searched the man¡¯s ce thoroughly. They could not find Gu Chu and shook their heads at him.
Wang Xiao took out his phone and looked at the photo again. It was this man.
So, where did he take Gu Chu?
Or perhaps, his heart sank as an even more terrifying thought shed through his mind.
After Feng Jia arrived, he did not say a word and directly stepped on the man¡¯s chest. It became more forceful. His face was as cold as ice as he asked, ¡°Where is the woman you took?¡±
The man howled, ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. I didn¡¯t do it.¡±
Feng Jia lost his patience. ¡°The surveince camera caught it. I have evidence.¡±
The man hugged his calf in pain and begged, ¡°I did talk to her, but she shook my hand off. I knew she wasn¡¯t an ordinary person, and I didn¡¯t dare to do anything to her and I left...¡±
Wang Xiao said, ¡°I asked people to check the surveince cameras in the surrounding ten kilometers, but they didn¡¯t see Gu Chu. Either she avoided the surveince cameras, or she was taken by someone else.¡±
The first one was almost impossible.
The second?
Feng Jia thought about the time when Gu Chu was drunk. Although she acted a little silly, she was still sober. Therefore, she would never leave with a man so easily.
Moreover, after Gu Chu left the clubhouse, he chased after her after a few minutes.
The time was too short, unless someone had nned to capture her. If it wasn¡¯t, then there was only one possibility.
That was, she might not have left the clubhouse at all.
Wang Xiao was about to ask him what he was going to do next when he heard him say, ¡°Continue looking for her. I¡¯ll go back and take a look.¡±
He turned and rushed out.
As soon as he got into the car, he received a call from the clubhouse. He immediately picked it up.
¡°Mr. Feng, Miss Gu is still at the clubhouse. Do you want toe back?¡±
Feng Jia took a deep breath and drove the car back to the clubhouse.
He quickly entered the door and came to the nine winding corridor. He scanned his surroundings and soon found the rockery that the staff mentioned.
The banquet had just ended and most of the guests had left. The surroundings were a little quiet now.
Feng Jia walked towards the rockery. The more he walked, the clearer his heartbeat became.
He walked past a nameless flower on the side of the stone Road and stepped in.
The rockery was made of several pieces of Taihu stone. Once he walked in, it was as if he had fallen into an ice house.
He nced around and saw a woman in the corner.
He didn¡¯t know if she was drunk or asleep.
Haicheng City was in chaos tonight, but the culprit was sleeping here?
Feng Jia took two steps closer to her. When he saw that there was a small red flower in her ck hair, he was so angry that heughed.
¡°Gu Chu,¡± he shouted through gritted teeth.
Gu Chu, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Feng Jia at first nce. She didn¡¯t know what she had done, but she felt a little cold. She frowned and reached out to hug him, and buried her head in his abdomen.
Feeling the warmth of his body, she murmured, ¡°Feng Jia, I¡¯m a little cold.¡±
Feng Jia looked down at Gu Chu, who was hugging his waist tightly and falling asleep again. It took a lot of self-control for him to resist the urge to pick her up and throw her into the moat!
In the end, he still couldn¡¯t bear it. He took off his coat and covered her with it. Then, he called Wang Xiao. ¡°Gu Chu has been found. You can leave now. Sorry for troubling you tonight.¡±
¡°Is she alright?¡±
Feng Jiaughed out loud. ¡°She¡¯s fine. She¡¯s hiding in the rockery in the clubhouse and has fallen asleep.¡±
Wang Xiao: ¡°...¡±
After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°It¡¯s good to know that she¡¯s fine.¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
After hanging up the phone, he bent down and picked her up. He held her chin with one hand and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Chapter 105 - Vicious Kisses
Chapter 105: Vicious Kisses
Perhaps his gaze was too hard to ignore, Gu Chu lifted her eyelids. When she saw him, she immediately shouted, ¡°Feng...!¡±
Before she could finish saying his name, her lips were sealed!
She pinched his cor and wanted to step back.
As if he had expected it, he grabbed her waist and ced his hand at the back of her head, leaving her no room to escape.
This kiss was aggressive. The tips of their tongues were intertwined, and she felt a tinge of pain at the root of her tongue.
Gu Chu was awakened by his kiss. She heard thest group of customers talking andughing outside the rockery. They seemed to be in a good mood after tasting the wine, and came here for a stroll.
Their voices were getting closer. Gu Chu panicked and grabbed his cor to try and push him away.
Unfortunately, his chest was like an iron wall. No matter how hard she tried, she could not push him away.
Gu Chu immediately felt a sense of shame. Has he gone mad?!
They were about to be seen! !
Gu Chu heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. She was about to cry. She started to hit his chest.
However, he still did not let go of her lips. Did he not hear the voices or did he not care?
He did not give her any space, and she was forced to take it. He even grabbed both of her hands and pinned them behind her back.
Just when she was panicking and did not know what to do, the waiter¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. It was like the sound of nature.
¡°There are also expensive orchids over there which are in full bloom. Would you like to take a look?¡±
The guests turned around and followed him.
Gu Chu¡¯s scalp went numb and she rxed.
Then, her legs went weak. If he hadn¡¯t held her waist, she would have fallen down.
Finally, Feng Jia let go of her lips, but he was still dangerously close to her. ¡°If this happens again, I¡¯ll lock you up at home with a chain.¡±
It didn¡¯t sound like a joke. Gu Chu¡¯s eyes turned red and water swirled in her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re joking, right?¡±
He had almost rubbed off her lipstickpletely. He kissed her again, this time gently.
After the kiss, he said, ¡°I¡¯m not joking.¡±
Huh? Gu Chu was carried out by him.
The waiter waited two meters away and said to Feng Jia, ¡°Mr. Feng, clean clothes in the room have been prepared.¡±
Both of them were drenched in the rain. If they were not careful, they would easily catch a cold.
Feng Jia nodded.
Although he was cold, he was always polite to others. ¡°Ask the staff toe back. Sorry for troubling you today.¡±
The waiter said, ¡°It¡¯s our duty. Miss Gu came in through the back door. We only looked at the front door and neglected the back door. It was our negligence.¡±
Feng Jia did not say anything else. He let him lead the way and carried Gu Chu to the room.
Two sets of clean pajamas were ced on the bed. Feng Jia first changed Gu Chu¡¯s clothes, then took the other set to the bathroom.
Gu Chu changed into her pajamas. After lying on the bed, she turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that she was already fast asleep, Feng Jia nned to spend the night here.
Closing the bathroom door, he unbuttoned the buttons one by one. Suddenly, he frowned and put his hand on his chest.
After the feeling of suffocation disappeared, his heart still felt a little ufortable.
However, the feeling quickly disappeared. He looked at himself in the mirror and suddenlyughed out loud.
She had promised toe home with him tonight, but she had broken her promise again.
The next morning, Feng Jia asked the housekeeper to bring his and Gu Chu¡¯s clothes.
After he changed, Gu Chu¡¯s phone rm rang. She frowned at first, then slowly got up.
After she regained consciousness, she suddenly lifted the nket. When she saw that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she nced around and found that she was in an unfamiliar environment. She panicked again. ¡°Feng Jia!¡±
Feng Jia came out of the bathroom and looked at her with a dull expression.
She scratched her hair helplessly. ¡°Was I drunk?¡±
Feng Jia replied with a simple ¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu could tell that he was in a bad mood. She quickly exined, ¡°I only drank one ss. Chairman Wang said it was sweet, so I didn¡¯t think too much about it. I thought there wasn¡¯t much alcohol, but...¡±
She asked guiltily, ¡°I didn¡¯t cause any trouble... Did I?¡±
Feng Jia looked at his watch expressionlessly. ¡°It¡¯s almost nine o¡¯clock.¡±
¡°Ah!¡± Gu Chu woke uppletely. ¡°I have a board meeting today!¡±
She rushed out of bed and into the bathroom. When she saw herself in the mirror, she yelled, ¡°My face!¡±
Then, she yelled at Feng Jia, ¡°Feng Jia! Why didn¡¯t you remove my makeup?! Oh my god, my face is going to rot!!!¡±
Chapter 106 - Meeting with the Board of Directors Translator: Dragon Bo
Chapter 106: Meeting with the Board of Directors
Feng Jia paused. How would he know about this?
Gu Chu looked at herself in the mirror and was dumbfounded. So, she slept through the night wearing heavy makeup?!
She angrily went out and tugged at his tie, shouting, ¡°Do you know that you¡¯ve ruined my face?!¡±
Feng Jia did not see how her face was ruined. She stopped after hearing him say, ¡°It¡¯s nine o¡¯clock.¡±
Gu Chu quickly went back to the bathroom and said fiercely, ¡°I¡¯ll deal with you after I finish this battle!¡±
The board meeting was at ten o¡¯clock.
After leaving the house, Gu Chu finally realized that she had spent the night in the clubhouse. No wonder the environment felt strange.
When she opened the car door, she saw breakfast on the seat. She immediately said emotionally, ¡°Feng Jia, you¡¯re such a good person.¡±
She hadpletely forgotten that she was going to fight him just now.
¡°The clubhouse prepared it for you.¡± Feng Jia started the car.
Gu Chu was tactful. ¡°Then they must have done it for your sake.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡± He looked at her with an undecipherable expression. ¡°Then we¡¯ll pick things up where we left off.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
He drove a little too fast.
When they reached the Gu Corporation, Gu Chu got out of the car.
She didn¡¯t feel anything wrong along the way. When she got out of the car, she realized that she had agreed to go back with him?
She didn¡¯t cause any troublest night, but she had to appease him. Why did she have to go back just because he asked her to?
Dream on.
Gu Chu turned around to see if Feng Jia had left. When she turned around, she saw Gu Wan limping into Feng Jia¡¯s car.
Huh?!
Less than ten seconds after Gu Wan got into the car, the driver got out and stood by the car. The car window was covered. Moreover, she was far away, so she could not see what the two of them were doing inside.
So, how should she deal with them being caught red-handed?
She could not eavesdrop from so far away. Since they didn¡¯t meet in secret, she couldn¡¯t question them directly and be seen as someone who gets jealous easily.
Besides, they were at the entrance of thepany. It would not turn out well if she really made a big fuss. Gu Wan might even benefit from this. The rumors about the engagement might be reignited again.
She could not act rashly, but she could not do nothing either. Gu Chu sat down nearby and started eating breakfast.
After about ten minutes, Gu Wan finally got out of the car. However, she had her head lowered, so Gu Chu could not see the expression on her face.
Gu Chu did not continue looking. She got into the elevator and sent a message to Lin Yin.
¡°Let me ask you this, Gu Wan got into Feng Jia¡¯s car and chased the driver out. She stayed there for a full ten minutes. What could they be doing?¡±
Lin Yin was always interested in this kind of thing. She replied almost instantly, ¡°It¡¯s definitely not that.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°Why do you trust Feng Jia more than me?¡±
¡°Because ten minutes is too short. CEO Feng mustst long, right? Otherwise, why are you interested in him?¡±
Last time, Lin Yin had mistakenly thought that he was small. Now that she thought he couldn¡¯tst, how would Feng Jia face her in the future?
Gu Chu asked, ¡°What is there to talk about between them?¡±
Lin Yin said, ¡°Go and ask.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°They probably won¡¯t tell me the truth.¡±
Lin Yin encouraged her, ¡°You should still ask. Let¡¯s see what lies theye up with.¡±
Gu Chu suddenly felt a little regretful. She had been too focused on watching the show and had not filmed it. Otherwise, when they confronted each other, there would be evidence.
When the elevator door opened, she was almost shocked to see the secretary¡¯s face.
The secretary saw her and her brows rxed. ¡°How is it, director? Did you get the contractst night?¡±
Before Gu Chu could say anything, the elevator door opened. It was Mr. Gu¡¯s secretary. He said immediately, ¡°Director Gu, the chairman wants to see you now.¡±
The secretary¡¯s expression changed. ¡°So soon?¡±
Gu Chu calmly handed the bag to the secretary. ¡°I¡¯m a littlete.¡±
The secretary quickly whispered into her ear, ¡°I¡¯ll go order the hot spring machines now.¡±
¡°No need.¡± Gu Chu patted her shoulder, telling her to rx
Then, she turned around and entered the elevator, following Mr. Gu¡¯s secretary up. She didn¡¯t even enter the business department.
Gu Chu entered the meeting room and greeted the table of people. ¡°Good morning, uncles!¡±
She sat down at the seat next to Mr. Gu and said with a smile, ¡°You¡¯re here so early for the meeting. Have you had breakfast? I¡¯ve ordered breakfast and it will be deliveredter. Why don¡¯t we eat together?¡±
Chapter 107 - Gu Wan Reported Her
Chapter 107: Gu Wan Reported Her
¡°Of course breakfast brought by the eldest miss of the Gu family must be good.¡± The person who spoke sat opposite Gu Chu was a man in his forties who always spoke harshly.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Uncle Wang, have you forgotten? The eldest miss of the Gu family has been found. I¡¯m now the second miss of the Gu family.¡±
Director Wang was stunned, but he quickly corrected himself. ¡°In thepany, you¡¯re Head of Business, not just the second miss of the Gu family.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s smile did not change. ¡°Weren¡¯t you the one who called me the eldest Miss Gu?¡±
Director Wang: ¡°...¡±
Then, he simply skipped this topic. ¡°Director Gu, you should know why we called you here, right?¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°I know. It¡¯s because of the hot spring machines.¡±
¡°We¡¯ve talked to Director Li, but he said that you would give us an exnation at the board meeting today, so we called you here.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, all the board members looked at her.
Gu Chu felt that their gazes were too intense, so she changed her mind and said, ¡°I signed the contract with Shengyan yesterday.¡±
Director Li narrowed his eyes. ¡°Where¡¯s the contract?¡±
¡°The contract will be deliveredter,¡± Gu Chu replied as she looked at her watch.
Hearing Gu Chu¡¯s words, the board members looked at each other and spread their hands. ¡°As expected.¡±.
Gu Chu was surprised. Something must have happened before she came.
Director Li suppressed his anger and said sternly, ¡°The contract is so important, but you left it at home?¡±
Gu Chu understood what he meant. He thought that she had left it at home and asked someone else to deliver it.
She shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t leave it at home. It¡¯s still with Shengyan. Later, Shengyan will get someone to deliver it.¡±
¡°What a joke. The contract should be drafted by us. Now you¡¯re saying that Shengyan will send it over. Who are you fooling here?¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°There¡¯s a reason for it.¡±
Director Wang immediately became excited. ¡°What reason?¡±
Gu Chu looked at Mr. Gu. He was silent. It was unknown whether he was observing or avoiding suspicion?
Director Li treated her silence as if she had nothing to say, and he immediately became angry. ¡°So you can¡¯t tell us. When you terminated the contract with Meiyang, you also said that there was a reason for it. Gu Corporation has always done business openly. What¡¯s there to hide?¡±
Director Li could not control his temper, while Director Wang was being sarcastic. ¡°Probably because the contract was forged, so she couldn¡¯t tell us?¡±
¡°...¡± Gu Chu almost thought she was hearing things. ¡°You¡¯re saying that I forged the contract?¡±
Director Wang chuckled. ¡°We received a tip-off that you forged the contract. Moreover, we called Shengyan yesterday afternoon to confirm it. They did not confirm that they signed the contract with us. So you got the contract in one night?¡±
Gu Chu finally understood why they were acting strangely.
So it was because they thought she forged the contract?!
¡°You knew that forging the contract could get you in trouble, so now you¡¯re saying that you forgot to bring the contract. You knew that we all trusted you because you¡¯re the chairman¡¯s daughter. That¡¯s why you think you could get away with it.¡±
¡°But have you ever thought that you can¡¯t hide it forever? The equipment will be changed next month. If you can¡¯t hand over the goods, who will bear the loss?¡±
Facing the usation, Gu Chu asked curiously, ¡°I know that it¡¯s difficult to reveal the identity of the whistle-blower, but I still want to ask, who was the one who reported me?¡±
Director Wang became alert. ¡°What? You want revenge?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just curious.¡± Gu Chu nced around. ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell me, is the informant in this meeting room?¡±
Her gaze shifted to Gu Wan.
Gu Wan was a little hurt by her gaze. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, ¡°Gu Chu, I know you think it was me.¡±
She let out a deep breath. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s nothing to hide. I was the one who reported you.¡±
Haha.
Gu Chu snorted in her heart. No wonder she had told her to work hard that day. It turned out that she was nning to drag her down.
Gu Wan looked up at her and said, ¡°I identally heard what you and your secretary said. I just didn¡¯t want you to go astray, so I reported this matter to the board of directors and asked them to investigate.¡±
She added, ¡°Chu Chu, it¡¯s okay if you can¡¯tplete the task. What¡¯s scary is to make mistakes again and again.¡±
Chapter 108 - The Contract was Real
Chapter 108: The Contract was Real
Gu Wan looked at her and said softly, ¡°Even if you¡¯re protecting your secretary, you can¡¯t ignore thepany¡¯s interests.¡±
The directors were confused. ¡°What do you mean, for the secretary?¡±
Gu Wan immediately replied, ¡°Actually, Gu Chu doesn¡¯t want to continue working with Meiyang. It¡¯s not that she¡¯s willful, but because Meiyang¡¯s manager once harassed her secretary, she¡¯s standing up for her secretary.¡±
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that it was ridiculous. ¡°You¡¯re doing this for a mere secretary?¡±
Gu Chu did not show any signs of panic. She said coldly, ¡°My secretary is under me. I was the one who brought her here. I should be responsible for her.¡±
Director Wang found it funny. ¡°If you want to make it up to her, you can give her money. Is this not willful? You¡¯re canceling your contract with Meiyang just because of this.¡±
¡°An honorable person will not deal with scumbags,¡± Gu Chu said, ¡°He did it even before I left the room. It¡¯s obvious that he has done this many times. When this matter is exposed one day, Meiyang will face a huge publicity crisis.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not only protecting my staff, but also to prevent the Gu Corporation from losing money in the future.¡±
Director Wang did not think much of it. ¡°How could it be so serious?¡±
Gu Chu looked at him. ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard about Deyi?¡±
Deyi was also dered bankrupt because of a sex scandal.
Director Wang was speechless for a moment.
Gu Chu stood up. ¡°I¡¯ve already called the police. I believe that they will find evidence one day. Even if Meiyang is trying to cover it up, it¡¯s only a matter of time before something happens. It¡¯s best for the Gu Corporation to terminate the contract with Meiyang as soon as possible.¡±
Gu Wan said in a low voice, ¡°Gu Chu is right. I also think that it¡¯s not appropriate to renew the contract with Meiyang.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. She wouldn¡¯t speak up for her, right?
Sure enough, the next second, Gu Wan said faintly, ¡°But, Chuchu, this isn¡¯t a reason for you to forge the contract.¡±
¡°...¡±
Gu Wan was back on topic with just one sentence. Yes, since the termination of the contract was already set in stone, there was no need to dwell on it now. The most important thing now was that Gu Chu had actually forged the contract!
Mr. Gu, who had been silent all this while, finally asked, ¡°Chuchu, tell me honestly, do you have the contract or not?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Where?¡±
¡°On the way.¡±
Mr. Gu sighed in disappointment. ¡°Do you know what lying means? I may not be able to keep your position.¡±
When he said this, Gu Chu felt a little sad. ¡°In the past, no matter what I did, you always believed in me. But now, because of someone else¡¯s words, you don¡¯t believe me?¡±
Gu Chu thought that her mother had changed, but she didn¡¯t expect her father to as well.
There was a moment of silence in the office.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. The others were still wondering who dared to interrupt the board of directors at this time?
Someone pushed the door open. It was Gu Chu¡¯s secretary.
She handed over a contract with both hands, then turned around and left.
Gu Chu took it, and stepped firmly on the ground. ¡°I did sign the contract with Shengyanst night. The reason why it¡¯s on the way was because I signed itst night and handed it to Chairman Wang. He took it backst night to read, then signed it and gave it to me this morning.¡±
She walked around the office and happened to walk behind Gu Wan. She said, ¡°I thought it was this simple, but I didn¡¯t expect some self-righteous fool to be so impatient.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s face stiffened.
Gu Chu pped the contract on the table in front of her.
Gu Wan shook her head. She couldn¡¯t believe that this was real. Gu Chu was showing off a fake contract?
She held her breath and immediately flipped to thest page. At least the official stamp couldn¡¯t be faked!
However, when she saw Shengyan¡¯s official stamp, she immediately felt a chill down her spine.
Director Li quickly reached out his hand. ¡°Let me take a look.¡±
He had been in the business world for decades. He could tell at a nce whether the contract was real or fake.
After he took a look at the stamp, he went back to look at the paging seal.
There was no problem.
It was real.
He nodded and said to the board members, ¡°The contract is real.¡±
Gu Wan clenched her fingers and asked stubbornly, ¡°What about the price? Even if we can sue Hurricane forpensation, we won¡¯t get too much, right? Aren¡¯t we going to bear the loss?¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°The original price.¡±
Chapter 109 - Messing with Gu Wan
Chapter 109: Messing with Gu Wan
Gu Wan was shocked. ¡°The original price? They actually sold it to you at the original price?¡±
Hearing that, Gu Chu gave her a polite smile. ¡°Because I¡¯m the Head of Business, negotiating is my forte.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s lips trembled. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. They¡¯re not so easy to talk to, and Chairman Wang of Shengyan has a problem with the Gu family...¡±
She asked around and learned that Chairman Wang seemed to have a problem with the Gu family, which was why he wanted to dissuade them with four times the price.
Moreover, she also contacted an employee of Shengyan and asked him this morning if there was any news about the Gu corporation and Shengyan working together. He replied that there was no news.
So, how did Gu Chu suddenly get the contract?
Gu Chu looked at her with interest. ¡°You seem to be hoping that Shengyan won¡¯t sign the contract with the Gu Corporation?¡±
Director Li was so angry because he listened to Gu Wan¡¯s usation.
Now, it was proved that the contract was real, and Gu Wan was lying. He nced at Gu Wan with a cold gaze and returned to his seat.
Gu Wan suddenly realized everyone was looking at her suspiciously at the moment. A second ago, they were all looking at Gu Chu the same way.
She subconsciously stepped back, her face as pale as a sheet. ¡°I, that¡¯s not what I mean.¡±
Gu Chu did not have time to listen to her exnation. She walked to the conference table and pped the other document in her hand on the table. ¡°Even if I can¡¯t get Shengyan¡¯s contract, I still have n B. I¡¯ve already asked my secretary to contact various manufacturers and gathered a total of 180 machines. Even if Shengyan isn¡¯t willing to cooperate, I will not let Gu Corporation fall into a crisis.¡±
She removed her hand and someone immediately looked at the form.
She said slowly, ¡°Now that I¡¯ve exined it, do you all understand?¡±
Then, she nced at Gu Wan. ¡°Then, regarding the malicious report... No, I should say, the person who ndered me¡Shouldn¡¯t we also deal with them for justice?¡±
After the meeting ended, Gu Chu left the top floor and returned to the Department of Commerce.
Gu Wan immediately stopped her. Ignoring the gazes of the others, she said directly, ¡°Chuchu, do you hate me so much?¡±
Hehe, she¡¯s really thick-skinned enough to turn it against her.
She did not fall for this. ¡°As long as you behave, I don¡¯t care if you¡¯re the eldest miss and the deputy director. But if you insist on disgusting me and drag me down, don¡¯t expect me to be merciful to you.¡±
¡°Anyway, I¡¯ve made it clear. We have nothing to do with each other. It¡¯s useless for you to talk to me now. It¡¯s better to wait for the board of directors¡¯ decision.¡±
Gu Wan thought she could take down Gu Chu this time, but she did not expect that she would shoot herself in the foot.
She said angrily, ¡°You clearly know that my foundation is not as good as yours. The board of directors will definitely fire me. You¡¯re clearly trying to drive me away!¡±
Gu Chu chuckled, as if she was the one who wanted to harm her. Suddenly, she smiled. ¡°You want me to let you off? Then tell me, how did you know about the sexual harassment incident?¡±
Gu Wan bit her lower lip. ¡°You told dad that it was because of sexual harassment that you didn¡¯t want to renew your contract with Meiyang. I asked around and learnt that only your secretary went with you.¡±
¡°Sis, you¡¯re good. You want to use me of mixing public and private affairs and forging a contract. After you kick me out, you¡¯ll be the director,¡± Gu Chu asked sarcastically, ¡°But, do you have the ability to do that?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s face turned white.
Gu Chu said slowly, ¡°After leaving Gu Corporation, I will get you a job as a high school teacher. You can teach the students how to resist pressure. It¡¯s much more meaningful than what you¡¯re doing now.¡±
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Gu Wan did not care if she was pretending to be crippled. She quickly walked a few steps and grabbed her arm, asking, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would let me off?¡±
¡°Did I say that?¡± Gu Chu looked innocent. ¡°What does that have to do with you confessing to your crimes?¡±
Gu Wan gritted her teeth. ¡°Are you messing with me?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t hear clearly.¡± Gu Chu smiled.
Nonsense, how could she let her off after what she¡¯d done?
Therefore, Gu Wan had better get out of the business department so that she would not be an eyesore.
As soon as Gu Chu entered, the secretary jumped over. ¡°Director!¡±
Her joy was beyond words. She patted the secretary¡¯s head. ¡°Alright, the matter has been resolved. Don¡¯t look so sad. Moreover, this matter is not your fault.¡±
Chapter 110 - Went to Comfort Feng Jia
Chapter 110: Went to Comfort Feng Jia
The secretary whimpered and hugged Gu Chu. ¡°Director! I love you! I want to stay with you for the rest of my life!¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Gu Chu pushed her away with a smile. ¡°Where is the person who delivered Shengyan¡¯s contract?¡±
¡°He¡¯s in your office. He¡¯s Chairman Wang¡¯s secretary,¡± the secretary replied.
Gu Chu nodded and pushed open the office door. She saw a man in a suit standing inside.
Gu Chu asked uncertainly, ¡°You¡¯re Chairman Wang¡¯s secretary?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu thought about his Wechat posts with dozens of emojis and waspletely unable to make sense of the man sitting in front of her.
The contrast was astounding.
After sending Chairman Wang¡¯s secretary away, she took out her phone and saw that Wang Xiao had called her half an hour ago. However, she was still at the board meeting at the time, so she did not receive the call.
She called him back. ¡°Wang Xiao, you called me?¡±
Wang Xiao was very direct. ¡°Are you alright?¡±
Gu Chu felt a little confused. ¡°What could be wrong with me?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t Feng Jia tell you? You were drunkst night.¡±
¡°Yes, I was indeed drunk.¡±
But how did Wang Xiao know?
There was a suddenmotion on Wang Xiao¡¯s end. It was as if someone had snatched away his phone, and then Meng Lang¡¯s voice could be heard.
¡°Do you know that Feng Jia thought that you had been kidnapped when you were drunkst night? He was so anxious that he cried. He even contacted Wang Xiao and asked him to send people all over Haicheng City to look for you?¡±
Wang Xiao: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Feng Jia cried!
No wonder he had a weird expression this morning. She was just wondering about that. It turned out that she had caused trouble!
After Gu Chu hung up the phone, she walked around the office twice. She was not in the mood to work and wanted to see the little crybaby.
Therefore, she used the excuse of driving Gu Wan away as a reward for her day off. She took her bag and rushed to Feng Corporation.
The receptionist was still as sweet as ever. ¡°Hello, Mrs. President.¡±
Gu Chu gave her a sweet wink and then went upstairs from the CEO¡¯s private elevator.
The secretary saw her and quickly said, ¡°CEO Feng is in a meeting right now. The meeting will end in ten minutes.¡±
She could wait ten minutes. She said, ¡°May I use your pantry?¡±
The secretary said, ¡°Sure.¡±
Gu Chu made a cup of coffee and brought it in after about ten minutes.
Feng Jia saw someonee in but didn¡¯t raise his head. ¡°Come in.¡±
He thought it was the secretary, so he said, ¡°Give me Rick¡¯s merger at the beginning of the year.¡±
¡°Okay, what else do you need?¡± Gu Chu suddenly asked. Feng Jia was stunned and raised his head.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Do you need any other special services?¡±
Feng Jia asked expressionlessly, ¡°Why are you here?¡±
He nced at the time, it was not time for lunch break yet.
¡°To energize the CEO,¡± she raised the coffee in her hand and said cheekily.
Of course, it was not as simple as just a cup of coffee.
Gu Chu continued to smile. ¡°Do you want the coffee or me?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s reaction was subtle. He did not respond to her words. He frowned slightly and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
This smile was even more subtle than his expression.
At this moment, a deliberate soft cough that came from hisputer. ¡°Cough!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°? !¡±
There was actually a third person here!
Gu Chu, who was halfway through her drink, felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She held the coffee in her hand and was frozen in ce.
¡°Feng Jia, let¡¯s call it a day. It¡¯s gettingte, I should get some rest.¡±
Following that, the man on the other side turned off the video call.
This voice sounded somewhat familiar.
It seemed to be Mr. Feng?
Gu Chu bit her lower lip.
F * ck!
Her indecent words were heard by her future father-inw just now? !
Gu Chu felt dizzy. After putting down his coffee cup, she walked away. ¡°I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do...¡±
Feng Jiaughed. ¡°Stop.¡±
Gu Chu turned around and was a little annoyed. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that you were having a video call with your father?!¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t the secretary tell you?¡±
Gu Chu wanted to cry, but no tears came out. The secretary only said that he was having a meeting, not that he was reporting to his father!
She tried tofort herself with a blushing face.
It was fine. Mr. Feng didn¡¯t see her face clearly anyway.
Perhaps Mr. Feng thought that he had a mistress at the office and might even feel bad for her.
Yes, that should be it. He hurriedly ended the video call to warn his son so that she wouldn¡¯t find out.
Yes, that must be it!
Feng Jia picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. ¡°Why did youe to see me?¡±
Chapter 111 - She Treats Her Secretary Well
Chapter 111: She Treats Her Secretary Well
Of course, Gu Chu came to mess with him in the office, but after the shock, she immediately became dispirited.
She could not regain her confidence so quickly, so she said disinterestedly, ¡°After the board meeting, I came over because I had nothing else to do.¡±
Seeing how unbridled she was just now, he asked, ¡°Aplete victory?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± This was indeed something to be happy about. Gu Chu added, ¡°I also have an unexpected gain.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Gu Chu sat at his desk and recounted what happened in the morning at the board meeting.
Initially, she just wanted to take this opportunity to prove that she was very capable at work.
However, since Gu Wan came directly to her, she epted it with a smile.
Gu Chu curled her lips and shook her feet. ¡°If all goes well, I probably won¡¯t see her at thepany anymore.¡±
Feng Jia leaned back in his chair, looking a littlezy. Seeing him like this, Gu Chu became bolder. She reached out and scratched his chin. ¡°Aren¡¯t I amazing?¡±
Feng Jia grabbed her hand and said, ¡°You¡¯re lucky.¡±
Her earlier act of being ipetent had disappointed everyone, including Gu Wan. That was why she took the risk and directly confronted her in the board meeting.
There was of course some luck involved. If Gu Wan had not heard the joke about forging the contract between her and her secretary, everything would not have gone so smoothly.
Gu Chu grunted, ¡°Luck is also strength.¡±
Feng Jia yed with her fingers. ¡°Your luck has always been good.¡±
¡°Yeah.¡± Gu Chu narrowed her eyes, ¡°For example,st night, after I got drunk, I ran out and met a bad person, but I was able to return safely. It¡¯s just that someone else had suffered. He thought I was lost and even cried in anxiety. So, I came here to offer constion.¡±
Feng Jia knew immediately that those were Meng Lang¡¯s words, ¡°You believe Meng Lang¡¯s words?¡±
Gu Chu leaned over and looked at him. ¡°If I was kidnapped by a bad person, wouldn¡¯t you cry?¡±
Feng Jia took her hand and held her waist, pulling her down from the office desk. She fell andnded on his thighs.
He pinched her thigh. ¡°I didn¡¯t cry.¡±
Gu Chu had a look of disbelief. ¡°Let me see.¡±
Then, her red lips suddenlynded on his eyelids.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes suddenly darkened. ¡°Picking a fight?¡±
Gu Chu had an innocent look on her face. ¡°No, I just couldn¡¯t help myself.¡±
Feng Jia pinched her waist and asked, ¡°So, you wanted to terminate your contract with Meiyang no matter what because of your secretary. What happened?¡±
Gu Chu reached out and stroked his chest, ¡°One night, I invited the manager to dinner. I wanted to talk about renewing the contract, but I left the table to take a call. When I came back, I found that he was about to vite my secretary. Fortunately, I came back in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.¡±
Feng Jia frowned.
Gu Chu sounded a little angry. ¡°What¡¯s more infuriating is their attitude. They covered up for the manager and didn¡¯t deal with him seriously. They said that he drank too much, and then they threatened us. They said that if we dared to make a big deal out of it and affect theirpany¡¯s reputation, they would withdraw their shares and terminate the contract.¡±
Thinking of their hateful faces, she tugged at Feng Jia¡¯s tie angrily.
Feng Jia saw through it. ¡°They think that the Gu Corporation can¡¯t do without Meiyang, so they have nothing to fear?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Gu Chuughed, ¡°However, I don¡¯t like to be threatened. If they apologize, I¡¯d still consider renewing the contract. Otherwise, we will part ways. Gu Corporation is still a big client of Meiyang. They would lose as much as us.¡±
It was obvious that they parted on bad terms in the end.
To the outside world, it was like a peaceful breakup, but in reality, it was not. They were not able to reach an agreement.
She did not exin this to others previously because the secretary was timid and worried about other people¡¯s gossip. That was why Gu Chu did not tell the truth.
Mr. Gu only knew that there was one victim, but he did not know who it was.
That was until Gu Wan said it in public today.
Gu Chu gritted her teeth when she thought of this. Fortunately, those who were present were all directors, so they would not have the time to spread rumors about the secretary. Otherwise, she would deal with Gu Wan sooner orter.
Feng Jia looked at her and was surprised to see her treat her secretary so well.
Gu Chu looked up at him. ¡°You didn¡¯t expect that I would treat my secretary so well?¡±
Chapter 112 - He Took it Casually
Chapter 112: He Took it Casually
She curved her lips, her fingertips still scratching his chest, all the way down.
She said casually, ¡°I¡¯m not good at anything, but I¡¯m protective of my secretary. She is obedient and works hard. Of course, I have to protect her.¡±
Her fingers reached his abdomen. His chest heaved up and down, and a dark light shed in his eyes. ¡°Stop moving.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t care. Since he didn¡¯t stop her, she slid down and touched a forbidden spot.
She smiled. ¡°Were you very nervous when I went missing? You even asked Wang Xiao to find me. This is the first time you¡¯ve spoken to him, right?¡±
The topic returned to her disappearance the night before.
She opened her palm. The initial teasing had be tant seduction.
Gu Chu felt the shape and hardness under her palm and asked again, ¡°When you found me, did you feel like you had recovered what you had lost?¡±
Feng Jia remained calm. ¡°No, when I saw you sleeping, I wanted to throw you into the moat.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t believe it.¡± She tightened her grip and said, ¡°I remember that you kissed me, weren¡¯t you happy to see me?¡±
As she said that, she unzipped his zipper and reached in.
The sound of the zipper was so harsh in the silent office that it sounded provocative.
He could no longer hold it in and pulled her hand away. Then, he carried her to the office desk.
She ced her hands behind her back and teased him arrogantly, ¡°I have a question.¡±
¡°...¡±
¡°You said that you wanted to deal with me. What did you want to do?¡±
He did not bother to take off her skirt and immediately reached in.
Gu Chu¡¯s face turned slightly red. She rested her chin on his shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the lounge.¡±
This was not the first time they did it there.
The curtains in the room were tightly shut, so they did not turn on the lights. In the dim room, their lips touched, they groaned, and there was the sound of a belt being unbuckled.
Feng Jia bit her earlobe and asked, ¡°Are youing back with me tonight?¡±
Gu Chu looked at him provocatively. ¡°Let¡¯s see if I still have the strengthter.¡±
Feng Jia reached out, wanting to tear off her clothes.
¡°Wait a minute.¡± Gu Chu suddenly stopped him.
She saw his dark face and kissed the corner of his mouth. ¡°Let¡¯s change positions.¡±
Then, she went on top of him.
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows and looked at her, surpised. ¡°You¡¯re in a good mood?¡±
She would only take the initiative when she was in a good mood.
Gu Chu looked at him with a faint smile. ¡°Of course. I¡¯m happy that I defeated Gu Wan today.¡±
Then, she suddenly tore off his tie and tied his hands together.
At this moment, he did not realize anything wrong, so he did not struggle. He just asked, ¡°Why are you tying me up?¡±
Gu Chu tied a dead knot and tied the other end to the railing. ¡°You¡¯ve tied me up before. Let me try it too.¡±
Then, she asked curiously, ¡°Try it. Can you break free?¡±
Feng Jia tried but he couldn¡¯t break free. Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Very good.¡±
Only then did Gu Chu reveal her true colors. ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t answer my question obediently, you¡¯ll be tied up here forever.¡±
She suddenly turned hostile in the blink of an eye.
But to be honest, with Feng Jia¡¯s look, if he was a gigolo, she would still have him even if that would bankrupt her!
She reached out and rubbed him a few more times. His gaze hadpletely sunk.
However, Gu Chu was not afraid of him. After all, he was themb waiting to be ughtered.
Gu Chu was pleased with herself. ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me the truth, I¡¯ll keep you tied up. Unless you¡¯re willing to call for help and let people admire your looks, you¡¯ll be tied up until the end of time.¡±
Feng Jia finally understood that she was tying him up to force him to confess. He licked his lips and said hoarsely, ¡°Gu Chu, you¡¯re very bold.¡±
¡°I¡¯m alright.¡± Gu Chu did not seem to mind. Her fingers moved around his chest. She asked, ¡°Tell me, what is Gu Wan doing in your car just now? I saw it with my own eyes this morning. She only got out of your car after ten minutes.¡±
As she said that, she gripped in in annoyance.
¡°Move your hand,¡± he said.
¡°If you don¡¯t tell me,I¡¯ll continue.¡± After she touched his chest, she slid all the way down. She pushed his underwear to the side and reached in.
Chapter 113 - Went to Lock the Door
Chapter 113: Went to Lock the Door
Beads of sweat appeared on Feng Jia¡¯s forehead. ¡°If you don¡¯t stop now, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll regret it.¡±
Gu Chu met his eyes. It might be emotions, or it could be because the lights were not switched on, his eyes looked so dark that she felt a little scared.
After thinking for a while, she picked up the belt at the side and tied it around his hand twice to strengthen it. She smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s secure now.¡±
She turned around and asked, ¡°Tell me, what did you do?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s gaze did not change and he did not say anything.
Alright, Gu Chu chuckled. She opened her legs and sat on him.
With her hands on his chest, she pulled up her skirt and pressed her underwear against his. Her whole body froze and she felt like she was scalded.
She twisted her waist and moved a little. She felt that the thing under her body became even harder.
She smiled proudly. ¡°CEO Feng is so busy with work, but still have time to work out. Your figure is really not bad...¡±
She bent down and kissed his lips again.
She pried open his mouth and stuck her tongue in.
Just as he responded, she stepped back.
She kissed his chin, followed by his neck. Finally, when she reached his Adam¡¯s apple, she bit down on it.
His body tightened. She twisted her waist again and rubbed against him. ¡°CEO Feng hasn¡¯t done it for a few days, has he? Why can¡¯t he control himself?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± Feng Jia warned.
Gu Chu looked up and found that his hands were still there, so she became bolder.
No way she¡¯d stop moving. She loved the fact that he couldn¡¯t resist!
She moved, and her underwear went in deeper. Separated by twoyers of underpants, both of them froze.
He almost sat up. She reached out and pushed him back. ¡°What? Do you want to show off your strength? Now you have to listen to me. If I don¡¯t tell you to move, you¡¯re not allowed to move!¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s breathing was very heavy. It was as if he had reached his limit. Suddenly, heughed. ¡°Chu Chu, the office door. Did you lock it when you came in?¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. It didn¡¯t seem like she did.
She was holding a cup of coffee in her hand. How could she remember to lock the door?
He said, ¡°Go and lock it. Otherwise, if the secretaryes in, both of us would be embarrassed.¡±
It seemed to make sense. Besides, she didn¡¯t want others to see him like this.
She also cared about her pride.
Before she got off, she checked his binding again and found that it was very tight, so she was relieved.
She kissed his cheek. ¡°I¡¯ll give you two minutes. When Ie back, you have to give me an answer, okay?¡±
Feng Jia looked at her and gritted his teeth.
Gu Chu locked the office door. After making sure it was safe, she was ready to return to the lounge.
She saw her phone screen light up. There was a call.
Her phone was usually silent, so she didn¡¯t hear it just now. She was about to pick it up when it was hung up. She saw that it was from her father.
He had called twice.
She pursed her lips but didn¡¯t call him back. She wanted to go back to the lounge. If Feng Jia refused to tell, she wouldn¡¯t be polite with him anymore.
When she pushed the door open, she found that there was no one on the bed!
She walked in and felt something was wrong. The lounge wasn¡¯t big, so where did he go?
There was a tie and belt on the bed. It was obvious that he had broken free.
She knelt down and looked under the bed subconsciously.
She did not see anything.
Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a warm embrace on her back, pushing her to the edge of the bed.
This position seemed a little dangerous.
Gu Chu¡¯s heart was about to copse. ¡°You! How did you untie it?!¡±
¡°What do you think?¡± His breathing was hot, and his hands were around her as he reached into her clothes.
How could she possibly know?!
He was clearly tied up tight. Could there be a third person here?
She was terrified. ¡°Did someone help you?¡±
Feng Jia reached out and pinched her smooth mounts. ¡°No.¡±
Then, as if he had lost his patience, his hands slid down, pulled down her underwear, and pushed into her.
Gu Chu: ¡°!¡±
His fingers dug into the quilt.
She was not ready at all, let alone in this position.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She couldn¡¯t escape.
She was annoyed. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong just now. You promised me two days ago that you wouldn¡¯t get involved with Gu Wan anymore. In the blink of an eye, you let her into your car. Did you feed all your promises to the dogs?¡±
Chapter 114 - What He had Done
Chapter 114: What He had Done
She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°If you were willing to tell me the truth, would I have to do this?¡±
He pounded her very hard, but his voice did not fluctuate. ¡°How do you know that I won¡¯t tell you if you ask me?¡±
Then, he reached out and pinched her chin. He put his face close to hers. ¡°You thought that I wouldn¡¯t tell you, and decided to force a confession out of me. Do you think that¡¯s reasonable?¡±
Gu Chu was unconvinced. ¡°I judged you based on your previous performance. Even if I made a mistake, you¡¯ve done a lot of bad things. How can I believe you?¡±
Gu Chu was always good at talking, so Feng Jia simply didn¡¯t argue with her.
He had been provoked by her for so long, and was not able to control the fire in his heart that burned fiercely.
He grabbed her waist and lifted her up. Then, he started to move aggressively.
The sound of liquid sloshing was heard. Gu Chu gritted her teeth to stop herself from crying out.
Her breathing was rapid, and her legs were shaking as she stood. ¡°You, you bastard!¡±
Hearing her usation, he suddenly stopped and asked beside her ear, ¡°Do you know what this bastard is going to do to you?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
He picked up the tie and wrapped it around her hands. Then, heid on the bed and put her on top of him.
Gu Chu¡¯s hands were tied in front of him, supporting herself on his abdomen. Her legs were so soft that they could not support her body.
This position was a little too deep for her to handle. She whimpered, ¡°Feng Jia, change, change the position.¡±
His hips moved. ¡°No, didn¡¯t you like this just now?¡±
Gu Chu was shooting her own foot. She had not really thought about staying in this position just now. Now that he was so deep inside her, her stomach hurt.
She stammered, ¡°You¡keep bullying me!¡±
He did not think much of it and patted her butt. ¡°Show me what you are capable of. Move a little.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Move my ass!
She had no more strength left!
After this incident, she never wanted to do it again with him!
She¡¯s going to break up with him after this!
She did not want the engagement anymore. She could give it to someone else!
After she moved a few times andy on his chest and whined, ¡°I don¡¯t have any strength left.¡±
¡°Hmph,¡± he seemed to be mocking her. ¡°Is that all you¡¯ve got?¡±
That¡¯s it.
After this, Gu Chu felt that every bone in her body was no longer hers. When she heard the sound of running watering from the bathroom, she did not even want to move a finger.
Feng Jia came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He opened the closet and took out a new suit.
Gu Chu looked at him fiercely!
He ignored her and left after putting on the suit.
He left?!
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t believe it. She waited for him for a long time, but he still didn¡¯te back. She felt even angrier!
Scumbag!
Gu Chu also wanted to wash up, but when she moved, she felt pain everywhere. She looked at the ceiling and started to draft a breakup speech.
As she thought about it, she fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after, she felt that someone had lifted her nket. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the scumbag was opening her legs!
Was he not done yet?
Gu Chu was furious. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Feng Jia waved the ointment in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m putting some ointment on you.¡±
It turned out that he had just gone out to buy medicine.
She felt wronged. ¡°Bastard! I¡¯m going to tell dad that you bullied me!¡±
However, the corner of Feng Jia¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Your dad just called you. I answered it for you. I told him that you were with me, so he didn¡¯t say anything else. He just asked me to take good care of you.¡±
She kicked his arm. ¡°That¡¯s because he still doesn¡¯t know what kind of person you are!¡±
Feng Jia wasn¡¯t annoyed. ¡°Yes, only you know.¡±
¡°...¡±
Feng Jia finished applying the ointment, screwed the lid shut, and asked her, ¡°Are you going to order takeout, eat out, ore back with me?¡±
Who wanted to go back with him!
Gu Chu raised her head. ¡°I¡¯m not going back with you!¡±
Feng Jia immediately got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, she said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask the housekeeper to make food.¡±
Gu Chu replied angrily, ¡°Have some dignity! Who agreed to go back with you?¡±
Feng Jia nced at her. In the end, he didn¡¯t force her, so he asked his secretary to order takeout.
¡°Prepare a set of clean clothes for me.¡± She looked at the clothes scattered on the ground, which had been torn by him, and requested, ¡°I want the same clothes as before.¡±
If she came in wearing something different from what she was wearing after, wouldn¡¯t others know what they did?
Chapter 115 - Mr. Gu’s Phone Call
Chapter 115: Mr. Gu¡¯s Phone Call
Gu Chu was someone who was shameless before the act, but shameful after.
Feng Jia passed her request to the secretary.
The secretary carried out the task calmly. She bought underwear and sent them into the CEO¡¯s office.
Feng Jia was about to take a call at this moment, so he asked her to send it directly to Gu Chu.
The secretary knocked on the door twice. Gu Chu was still wondering why Feng Jia was so polite today. After telling him to enter, the secretary came in with her eyes lowered. Gu Chu was stunned and looked at her awkwardly.
¡°Miss Gu, these are clothes that I just bought. Try them on. If you don¡¯t like them, call me again.¡± The secretary put the clothes on the table and went out.
Gu Chu put on Feng Jia¡¯s slippers and went to take a shower.
The size was just right. When she went out, she heard Feng Jia speaking in an Oxford ent on the phone.
The lounge was sound-proof. At least she didn¡¯t hear his voice before she opened the door.
Listening to his spoken English, Gu Chu remembered that he had lived abroad for a period of time when he was young. When he was seven or eight years old, the Feng family returned to the country. That was when he was brought back to Haicheng City.
However, when Mrs. Feng fell ill, so she had to go abroad for treatment. Mr. Feng apanied her, and they took his other two brothers with them, leaving him alone with Old Master Feng.
Even Feng Pei was only sent back to the country to study two years ago.
Although it was understandable since he was the eldest son, and he would inherit the Feng family¡¯s legacy in the future, which was why he was kept in the country, he was only a seven or eight-year-old child back then.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t have much of an impression of him when they were young. She only remembered that he picked her up to look at thenterns on thest day of one of the Lunar New Years. His personality was always cold, he didn¡¯t like to y with children his age.
Thinking about it, his childhood wasn¡¯t happy.
What was going on? Why did she seem to sympathize with him?
She shook her head, walked to the coffee table expressionlessly, and poured herself a ss of water.
The food had already been delivered. Gu Chu had not eaten lunch and she had done something that consumed a lot of energy, so she was famished. Seeing that Feng Jia might be busy for a while, she did not wait for him and started eating by herself.
She left a portion for Feng Jia. As she ate, she yed with her phone. Only then did she realize that Lin Yin had sent her a few messages.
She was mainly asking her about the board meeting.
She replied directly, ¡°It¡¯s a great victory. I¡¯ll tell you the detailster. Also, I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll be back today. You don¡¯t have toe pick me up. I¡¯m at the Feng Corporation now. I¡¯m already eating. Don¡¯t wait up.¡±
After replying to Lin Yin, she saw that her father had also sent her a message.
He had called her several times today. She knew that he wanted to talk about what happened in the meeting today.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t really want to hear it. After all, the wrongs she had suffered were real.
Mr. Gu had only sent one text message, but the it was quite long.
¡°Gu Chu, did you go to Feng Jia¡¯s ce? I went to the Commerce Department to look for you. I couldn¡¯t find you and you didn¡¯t pick up your calls. I was so scared that I almost called the police. You can¡¯t be so willful next time. You¡¯ve experienced an attack before. Your personal safety is not guaranteed, I am very worried about you.¡±
Gu Chu felt a little guilty. After all, he was really worried about her.
¡°Or are you still angry with me? I¡¯ll apologize to you, okay?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll apologize on behalf of your sister as well. I¡¯ve already talked to her. You have to believe me, she really didn¡¯t mean it. She misunderstood your words. She was afraid that you would go astray. She told us because she was afraid that you would make a mistake.¡±
¡°We are family. If you don¡¯t want to see your sister in the Business Department, I¡¯ll transfer her to another department. She won¡¯t have any contact with you at work. She just wants to do a good job and works very hard. If I make her leave the Gu Corporation, she will not be able to take it. Chu Chu, you¡¯ve always been sensible. You¡¯ll understand right, right?¡±
Gu Chu was so angry that her hands were trembling.
At first, she thought that her father doted on her, but halfway through the message, he begged her to forgive Gu Wan. He even asked her to let Gu Wan off and let her stay in the Gu Corporation.
Gu Chu snorted coldly and threw her phone aside.
The lunchbox in her hand was no longer fragrant. She felt hungry just now, but now she was full of anger.
¡°Are you done eating?¡± Feng Jia saw her stop eating as soon as he ended the conference call. However, there was still a lot of food left in her lunchbox.
¡°I have no appetite!¡± She blew off on him. ¡°What did you order? How can I eat these? You eat them by yourself!¡±
Chapter 116 - Suspected Shen Shan
Chapter 116: Suspected Shen Shan
Feng Jia didn¡¯t know what was going on. The table was full of dishes that Gu Chu liked to eat. He knew that she was being unreasonable, but he still indulged her. ¡°Then what do you want to eat?¡±
Gu Chu was annoyed. ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat anymore.¡±
Feng Jia said patiently, ¡°Didn¡¯t you like the pan-fried porkst time?¡±
Gu Chu said stubbornly, ¡°No.¡±
¡°How about some porridge?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t you like dumplings? Should I get someone to buy some?¡±
¡°...¡±
Gu Chu looked at him. Seeing that he was so good-natured, her anger had mostly subsided. She lowered her head and asked, ¡°Did y dad say anything else?¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows. He finally knew why she was throwing a tantrum about. He sat on the sofa, opened the lunchbox, and asked, ¡°What do you want to know?¡±
Gu Chu choked. She did not know what answer she wanted to know.
She pursed her lips and looked at him weakly. ¡°Is your father good to you? You¡¯re not by his side, he should be very concerned about you, right?¡±
Just like Gu Wan, it had been many years since she was found. Her parents would definitely be more concerned about her.

Feng Jia said, ¡°Usually, there are only two situations when we contact each other.¡±
¡°What?¡±
Feng Jia replied expressionlessly, ¡°Reporting about work and giving orders.¡±
¡°Ha,¡± Gu Chu was suddenly amused. ¡°I seem to have found somefort in you.¡±
Looking at him, he was a hundred times more miserable than her.
If he saw that her status in the Gu family had fallen a lot recently, he would also beforted, right?
¡°Then would you be jealous of your two younger brothers? After all, they were the ones who got your father¡¯s favor.¡±
Feng Jia handed her a te of steamed dumplings. ¡°Eat.¡±
Gu Chu did not take it and continued to ask, ¡°Arel you?¡±
Feng Jia did not really want to answer her boring question, but he could not resist her. He looked at her helplessly, picked up a dumpling, and put it into her mouth. He narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°If there is no love, one can¡¯t be hurt.¡±
Gu Chu almost choked on the dumpling when she heard his words. His deep words stunned her.
Because of love, there would be worry and fear. But without it, there wouldn¡¯t be such emotions.
What he meant was that he had no love in his heart, so he wouldn¡¯t be worried and afraid.
He didn¡¯t care about his father, nor did he care if he loved him. So, he didn¡¯t mind who he favored.
However, Gu Chu cared about her parents, which was why she felt ufortable because of their favoritism.
After drinking a mouthful of water, she thought about it.
Feng Jia fed her another fried dumpling. ¡°Gu Wan probably feels the same way.¡±
Gu Chu was puzzled. ¡°Gu Wan?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Feng Jia said calmly. ¡°I was the one who let her get into the car this morning. I have something to ask her.¡±
Huh?!
He actually asked Gu Wan to get into his car? !
How could he say such a thing so righteously? !
Gu Chu picked up the pillow and was about to throw it at him, but she stopped when she heard his next sentence. ¡°Didn¡¯t you also look into Gu Wan¡¯s past? Didn¡¯t you see the problem with the information?¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°What problem?¡±
¡°Think about her adoptive parents.¡±
Adoptive parents? Gu Chu fell into deep thought.
What Lin Yu found out was that there was not much information about Gu Wan¡¯s adoptive parents. He only said that they had a dispute with someone and were severely injured. However, the perpetrator¡¯s family was in a difficult situation, they could not afford the medical expenses, so Gu Wan borrowed money and became a sugar baby of a man surnamed Shi.
What was the problem?
Feng Jia pointed out the key points for her. ¡°Two disputes, intentional harm, and the perpetrator¡¯s family was in trouble. It was also a case that happened ten years ago. Doesn¡¯t it sound familiar?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s mind instantly connected the dots. ¡°Shen Shan!¡±
It was the man who came to the Gu Corporation to attack her!
His situation was exactly like that. Ten years ago, he was sentenced to ten years in prison for two counts of intentional injury!
Gu Chu asked in surprise, ¡°You mean, Shen Shan was the one who deliberately hurt Gu Wan¡¯s adoptive parents back then!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t forget, Shen Shan also came from the capital.¡± The corner of his mouth curled up. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too much of a coincidence?¡±
Gu Chu blinked. Yes, this was not just a simple coincidence.
But then again, Shen Shan should be Gu Wan¡¯s enemy. Why would he listen to her instructions and attack her?
That didn¡¯t make sense.
Chapter 117 - Going Back with Him
Chapter 117: Going Back with Him
Gu Chu was a little confused. ¡°Then why did you look for Gu Wan? Did you ask if she has anything to do with Shen Shan?¡±
Feng Jia was not that stupid.
He replied, ¡°I was actually just testing her reaction. I asked her to tell your father that Shen Shan had already admitted that he had been instructed by someone to attack you.¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°Why did you say that?¡±
¡°Because I sent someone to tell Shen Shan, who was detained, that the police had already found Gu Wan and were preparing to interrogate her.¡±
CEO Feng was ying ¡°prisoner¡¯s dilemma¡± very well.
Shen Shan and Gu Wan could notmunicate with each other. If he gave them some fake news, then they would naturally fall into disarray.
Now, it was time to see which one of them would break first.
Feng Jia did not suspect their rtionship for no reason.
He had been investigating Shen Shan. Although the police had found a licensed psychiatrist who confirmed that Shen Shan did have intermittent psychosis and he might have attacked Gu Chu because of his condition, he did not believe it.
If it was a random attack, why would it be Gu Chu?
Moreover, he pretended to be a delivery boy, which meant that he knew what was going on.
For the time being, he could not figure out the rtionship between Shen Shan and Gu Chu. He thought that Shen Shan might have been ordered by someone, so he asked someone to check his bank records, but he found nothing.
Thus, he checked Shen Shan¡¯s background. Coincidentally, Gu Chu was questioning his rtionship with Gu Wan that day. Thus, he thought of Gu Wan¡¯s previous incident.
He also found a clue, which was that their experiences were too simr.
That was why he boldly deduced that there might be a rtionship between them.
Then, he carefully verified it.
In the morning, he sent Gu Chu to thepany. Just as he was about to drive away, he saw Gu Wan get out of the Gu family¡¯s car. He called out to her. On the surface, he wanted her to inform her father, but in reality, he was testing her reaction.
At that time, although Gu Wan pretended to be calm, her tightly clenched fingers revealed her anxiety.
Although it was also possible that she cared about Chu Chu, the likelihood was very small. So, he would rather believe that she was afraid of the matter being traced back to her.
Since she had already gotten the ¡°news¡±, if she really did it, then the next step would be to take action.
When Gu Chu heard this, she felt that his brain was working too fast and leaned against his body. ¡°My dear, you¡¯re really amazing. You can think of so many things with so little information. You¡¯re the smartest!¡±
Feng Jia nced at her. She was praising him like a child.
Gu Chu said coquettishly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier? I almost misunderstood you.¡±
¡°I only thought of it yesterday.¡±
He didn¡¯t have time to tell herst night, nor did he have time to tell her this morning. He originally wanted to tell her tonight, but he didn¡¯t expect her to be so impatient.
And she even ¡°coerced¡± him?
Gu Chu didn¡¯t think much of it. ¡°Baby, don¡¯t you think that our rtionship is quite good? If there are conflicts, we won¡¯t spend the night together.¡±
It was better to ask directly than to keep it in her heart and let her imagination run wild, right?
Many misunderstandings were caused by theck ofmunication. Gu Chu felt that the way to get along with each other was tomunicate more.
Feng Jia pinched her face in amusement. ¡°So, are you willing to go back with me?¡±
Gu Chu raised her eyebrows and moved away from him. ¡°I didn¡¯t used to go every day. Why are you so persistent about this now?¡±
Feng Jia picked up the unfinished lunch box and took a bite. His voice was a little unclear. ¡°It feels empty without you around.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°!¡±
How could she say no after hearing this?
So, in his opinion, Jinyuan Residences was their home?
This hit directly at Gu Chu¡¯s heart.
Their home.
The corners of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curled up. She sent a message to Lin Yin, telling her that she would not be staying at her ce tonight.
Lin Yin replied with an ¡°I knew it¡± emoji.
Gu Chu was embarrassed, so she sent her some money with ¡°rent¡± as the reference.
Lin Yin excitedly looked at it.
0.1?!
Get lost. She was going to block her.
When Gu Chu sent another message, a red exmation mark appeared.
She was blocked.
Chapter 118 - Analysing with Lin Yin
Chapter 118: Analysing with Lin Yin
Oh, a woman¡¯s hatred was scary.
Gu Chu put away her phone and looked at the traffic outside. She continued to think about the rtionship between Gu Wan and Shen Shan.
The perpetrator and the victim were working together. This did not make sense.
Could it be that Shen Shan felt guilty towards Gu Wan because he had seriously injured her parents and caused them to die? He wanted to make it up to her, so he listened to her orders?
Gu Chu was so angry that sheughed. If that was the case, she thought that Gu Wan should go to a psychiatrist.
She had only returned for no more than two months. She had never provoked her, so why did she have such malicious intentions towards her for no reason?
It was fine if she had lied to her parents and spread rumors about the change of the engagement.¡¯ on google¡¯? She did not expect that she would order others to attack her. This was not just a matter of character, it was pure evil.
If it turned out to be Gu Wan, she would not let her off because they were family.
No way. She had to go to jail.
Gu Chu¡¯s anger had not subsided yet. The driver looked at the rearview mirror and suddenly said, ¡°CEO Feng, Old Wang asked me to tell you something.¡±
Feng Jia looked up.
¡°Last night, Miss Feng Pei left the club after Miss Gu got drunk.¡±
Old Wang was the chauffeur working at the old family mansion. He was the one who sent Feng Pei to the clubhousest night.
As a chauffeur in an elite family meant that he had some skills. At first, he didn¡¯t think too much about it. However, after Gu Chu got drunk, Feng Pei rushed out and urged him to hurry home, which made him feel a little strange.
In order not to implicate himself, he first reported it to the police, just in case.
Gu Chu asked Feng Jia, ¡°When you asked her to go home, she didn¡¯t listen?¡±
Feng Jia frowned and quickly thought of something. He asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that your ss of wine tasted very strong when it should be sweet?¡±
Gu Chu reacted quickly. ¡°You mean, my wine was swapped by Feng Pei?¡±
Feng Jia pursed his lips.
Gu Chuughed angrily again. ¡°This brat really needs to be taught a lesson! Feng Jia, she¡¯s your biological sister. You have to do something. I almost got into trouble.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
He would do it even if she didn¡¯t ask.
When they reached his house, Gu Chu went to take a shower first before lying on the bed and ying with her phone.
Ms. Lin removed her from the cklist and even sent a message. ¡°You haven¡¯t been back for two days. I knew it. The two of you must have reconciled. You¡¯re really useless!¡±
Gu Chu was helpless. ¡°There¡¯s a reason for that.¡±
He had broken through her defenses time and time again, forcing her topromise.
Lin Yin was not interested in the details. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep first.¡±
¡°Sleep? I haven¡¯t told you how I ughtered everyone in the board meeting today!¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°You¡¯re telling me a story at night? Why aren¡¯t you having sex?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°We just did it this afternoon. We can¡¯t overindulge.¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu told her everything. She described it so vividly and even depicted Gu Wan¡¯s expression when she was figuratively pped in the face. Lin Yin let out a mocking ¡°Ha¡±.
¡°She¡¯s actually quite smart. She tricked your secretary and even asked about Shengyan. She must have revealed this after she was sure that you weren¡¯t able to sign the contract. But she¡¯s also quite stupid. Why did she confess? Isn¡¯t it better for her to find a scapegoat? Fortunately, she just joined thepany not long ago and doesn¡¯t have any foundation yet.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°She probably thought that she had me in her hands. She didn¡¯t expect that I could turn it around so quickly.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t tell Lin Yin about the message her father sent her and Shen Shan¡¯s matter. They were going to have dinner together this weekend. She nned to talk about it then.
By the time Feng Jia finished showering and went to bed, she was already very tired. Shey on the pillow and fell asleep.
Feng Jia tucked her before turning off the lights to sleep.
The next morning, he was woken up by her kick.
He frowned and opened his eyes. He looked at the woman beside him. She had not opened her eyes yet. Her breathing was slow, and her hands and feet were wrapped around him like an octopus.
She really was not a good sleeping partner.
Feng Jia sat up and scratched his hair in annoyance.
He had a strange dream just now. He was in a half-asleep state, and his head was slightly swollen and painful.
He simply lifted the quilt and got off the bed and poured a ss of water. When he saw the small wine cab, he poured himself half a ss. After he drank it, he rubbed between his eyebrows and returned to bed.
Chapter 119 - Applying Ointment
Chapter 119: Applying Ointment
When he returned, the hem of Gu Chu¡¯s nightdress had rolled up to her chest while she was tossing and turning. A small part of her soft belly was exposed.
The day became shorter as winter approached. It was already past six o¡¯clock. The sky was dark.
He wanted to roll down her dress, but his eyes darkened when he touched her skin.
When Feng Jia lifted her feet, Gu Chu was startled awake.
Feng Jia¡¯s voice was low and hoarse. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±
She subconsciously wanted to close her legs, but he grabbed her ankles. ¡°Did you apply medicine before you went to bed?¡±
Gu Chu was a little confused. ¡°I think so?¡±
¡°Did you apply it yourself?¡± He asked.
She was even more confused. ¡°Who else did?¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask me to help you?¡±
Gu Chu, who was still in a daze a moment ago, was jolted awake. She opened her eyes and saw his dark eyes. She subconsciously wanted to retract her foot. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that.¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that he had squeezed some ointment onto his fingertips. Gu Chu was so embarrassed that she quickly grabbed his wrist. ¡°There¡¯s no need...¡±
He pushed her hand away. First, he rubbed the skin on the base of her thigh. Then, his hand wandered.
Gu Chu¡¯s whole body tensed up. She felt him slowly reaching in, and she gripped the corner of the nket tightly.
Thus, Gu Chu was forced to receive treatment for the next half an hour.
However, the worst part was that he knew her body too well. Every time she was almost at the edge, he would stop and ask her, ¡°Do you want more?¡±
Does she want more?
Gu Chu¡¯s face was so red that she wanted to grab a pillow and cover her face.
Feng Jia, however, said slowly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to respect your wishes?¡±
Respect her wishes? His hands were already in her body, so what was there to talk about respect?
Gu Chu red at him angrily and kicked him, trying to crawl away.
The bastard who had said that he wanted to respect her just a moment ago did not know what respect was anymore. He forcefully pulled her back. ¡°I¡¯m not done yet, where are you going?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
When he¡¯s done, Gu Chu fell back asleep in his soft bed.
The two of them slept until afternnoon. Feng Jia was the first to get up. He changed into a suit and went downstairs in high spirits.
In the morning, the housekeeper didn¡¯t wait for them to get up for breakfast. She knew that they were like newlyweds, so she came over to cook for them in the afternoon.
Feng Jia didn¡¯t close the door. The aroma of the food woke Gu Chu up.
She got up and grabbed her phone to check the time. It was almost two o¡¯clock.
She checked Wechat again. Her secretary had already sent her the things that needed to be dealt with. She looked through them one by one and didn¡¯t think it was that important. She could deal with them at home, so she wanted to borrow Feng Jia¡¯s study.
She habitually opened her calendar. Usually, she would write down anything important in it.
It was Friday today. She just remembered that it was the day that Lin Yu would being back from the business trip. She had promised to pick him up at the airport.
Gu Chu tidied herself up before going downstairs. The housekeeper had already served the dishes on the table.
They had not eaten breakfast in the morning, so their food was light. She first drank a mouthful of soup and then looked at Feng Jia. ¡°Are you going to the office in the afternoon?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Feng Jia saw that she was ready to go, so he thought that she was going too, so he asked, ¡°Are you going too? I¡¯ll pick you up after work?¡±
Gu Chu did not dare to say that he was going to pick up Lin Yu.
This man tends to get jealous.
She said vaguely, ¡°I have something to do in the afternoon, so I might note back for dinner tonight.¡±
They had never interfered with each other¡¯s daily life, and both of them were busy people who had to deal with clients. So Feng Jia just nodded and did not ask more. She only said, ¡°Come back after dinner.¡±
Gu Chuughed. ¡°Got it.¡±
Feng Jia went to the office after eating. Seeing that it was still early, Gu Chu continued to eat slowly.
Initially, it was her and Lin Yu¡¯s task to go to the capital. In the end, she stood him up at thest minute. Although there was a team there, she was not there, so the pressure was on him.
Moreover, Lin Yu had also helped her check up on Gu Wan. This was more or less a favor.
Therefore, she had to treat him to a meal.
After eating, Gu Chu went upstairs. First, she did her makeup. Then, she finished her work. When it was almost five o¡¯clock, she put on a coat and went out.
She drove to the airport for about half an hour. When she arrived, the passengers were pouring out of the exit.
Chapter 120 - Gu Wan was Exposed
Chapter 120: Gu Wan was Exposed
Lin Yu was alone, but he was tall and very eye-catching in a group of people.
Their gazes met. Gu Chu smiled and waved her hand. He walked over. ¡°Did you wait for a long time?¡±
¡°No,¡± Gu Chu replied. ¡°I timed it well. I just arrived. I reserved a table at a restaurant to wee you.¡±
Lin Yu looked at his watch. ¡°It¡¯s still early for dinner. I want to go to the clubhouse first.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. ¡°Why?¡±
Lin Yu pretended to be mysterious. ¡°I wanted to give you a surprise.¡±
They went to the clubhouse. On the way, Lin Yu told her everything that happened in the capital.
While they were happily chatting, Gu Wan could not sit still.
She did not go to the office today. She lied to her parents and said that she was not feeling well.
They thought that she was still sad about what happened yesterday, so theyforted her, ¡°Then you should rest at home for a few days. Your leg hasn¡¯t recovered yet, and we don¡¯t want you running around. Why don¡¯t we ask the family doctor to take a look at you?¡±
Gu Wan felt uneasy and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just need to rest for a while.¡±
They did not say anything else and watched her walk up the stairs with her crutch.
After closing the door, Gu Wan paced around the room. Although she had lost to Gu Chu yesterday, she did not panic at all. As long as her parents were on her side, she still had a chance to fight her way back.
What really made her anxious was Feng Jia¡¯s words.
What Feng Jia asked her to pass on to her father shocked her.
Did Shen Shan already say that someone ordered him to attack Gu Chu? Was that true? Did he give up her name?
Gu Wan¡¯s hand trembled as she picked up the ss of water to drink. In fact, she did not order Shen Shan to do that, not at all.
That day, when she returned from the resort, she received a text message from Shen Shan in the car. He said that he had been released after serving his sentence. He had gotten her current contact information from her former neighbor, so he contacted her and wanted to meet her.
At that time, she realized that it had been ten years since that incident.
After that, they texted each other every day. She told him all the feelings that she could not reveal to others.
She said that she was having a hard time at her new home. Her sister did not like her and always bullied her. She med her foring back to take away the love that her parents had for her.
She just wanted to vent her emotions. She just wanted someone toin about Gu Chu with her. She did not expect Shen Shan to be so impulsive. He went all the way from the capital to Haicheng City and even attacked Gu Chu.
From the moment he was arrested at the police station, she had been worried that he would expose her. After so many days, everything had been peaceful. She thought that everything was fine.
However, she had not expected Shen Shan to say that he had been instructed by someone¡
Was he afraid of going to jail again, so he had pushed all the me onto her?
That must be the case!
How could he disregard his own safety to protect her?
Gu Wan stood up abruptly and opened the wardrobe. She picked out the most inconspicuous piece of clothing from the pile of clothes. Then, she put on her hat and went downstairs with her crutches.
Mrs. Gu interrupted her in the living room. She said to her, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m meeting a friend for dinner.¡±
¡°Ah? Which friend? Why don¡¯t you invite them over for dinner?¡± Mrs. Gu said with concern, ¡°It¡¯s hard for you to walk around.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± If it were any other time, she would still be in the mood to deal with it, but today, she was not in the mood at all.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu only thought that she was in a bad mood, so she did not pursue the matter further.
Gu Wan limped out of the door. The driver opened the car door and helped her into the car. She said directly, ¡°Send me to the police station.¡±
The driver was stunned. He thought she was going to a Japanese restaurant.
Gu Wan threatened him, ¡°Go to the police station. And don¡¯t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, you can forget about keeping your job.¡±
The driver quickly replied, ¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Wan went to the police station and found the police officer in charge of the case. She asked gently, ¡°My father asked me to ask about my sister¡¯s case. Is there any new progress in the assault case?¡±
The police officer said, ¡°The case is still under investigation. We can¡¯t reveal the details.¡±
¡°We¡¯re victims. Can¡¯t you tell us?¡± She pursed her lips. ¡°Then can I see the bastard who attacked my sister?¡±
¡°Well...¡± the policeman said awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡±
Gu Wan was stunned for a moment, then she said, ¡°What am I going to say to my father when I go back?¡±
The policeman said helplessly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask for permission.¡±
Gu Wan smiled. ¡°Okay.¡±
Chapter 121 - Taking the Bait
Chapter 121: Taking the Bait
The police officer went outside to make a call.
He did not ask for permission from his superior, but called Feng Jia¡¯s secretary.
He said to the secretary, ¡°Please Tell Mr. Feng that Miss Gu Wan is here.¡±
Feng Jia specifically asked his secretary to inform the police station. If Gu Wan went to the police station, tell him immediately.
The secretary said in a low voice, ¡°Okay, please try to stall her. I¡¯ll report to CEO Feng immediately.¡±
After hanging up the phone, she knocked on the CEO¡¯s office door. ¡°CEO Feng, Miss Gu Wan went to the police station. She said that CEO Gu asked her to go. She wants to see Shen Shan.¡±
The fish took the bait.
Feng Jia immediately got up and went out.
The secretary followed closely behind and instructed the driver to prepare the car. They immediately got into the car and went to the police station.
In the police station, Gu Wan waited anxiously for almost half an hour. She could not help but ask, ¡°Can¡¯t I go see Shen Shan now?¡±
¡°You might have to wait a little longer. The higher-ups are still in a meeting. I can only ask him after he¡¯s done with the meeting,¡± the police officer replied. ¡°If you have something to do, you cane back another day.¡±
How could Gu Wane back another day? She could only wait.
At this moment, Feng Jia arrived. He looked in through the window, but there was no emotion on his face.
He said to the police, ¡°Bring Shen Shan out and bring him through here. Cover his mouth and don¡¯t let him make a sound.¡±
This was to let Shen Shan see Gu Wan in the police station with his own eyes. Then, he would think that the police had found Gu Wan.
Sure enough, the two police officers carried Shen Shan through the corridor. Shen Shan immediately saw Gu Wan sitting on the chair.
His pupils dted!
He saw that Gu Wan¡¯s feet were bandaged and she had a walking stick beside her. He thought that she was seriously injured and lost control on the spot. He wanted to rush towards Gu Wan, but he was handcuffed and his mouth was taped. He could only whimper twice and was forcefully dragged into the interrogation room by the two policemen.
As soon as he entered, the policemen tore off the tape on his mouth. He immediately shouted, ¡°I was wrong! I confess! I admit that I attacked her on purpose! This matter has nothing to do with anyone else!¡±
Ever since he was brought in, he had not said a word. After seeing Gu Wan, he couldn¡¯t wait to confess.
Shen Shan seemed to have mania. His entire body was struggling desperately and he let out a loud bang. ¡°I said, I confess!¡±
Feng Jia and a police officer entered together.
There was an iron railing between them. Shen Shan did not know Feng Jia and thought that he was also a police officer. He wanted to stand up, but he was pushed back down.
The police officer shouted, ¡°Behave yourself!¡±
Shen Shan¡¯s face was ferocious. ¡°I confess. I¡¯ll go to jail!¡±
He took all the responsibility on himself.
Feng Jia pulled out a chair and sat down. He asked him calmly, ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with Gu Wan?¡±
Shen Shan was still trying to hold it in. ¡°I don¡¯t know anyone named Gu Wan! If you want to punish someone, just punish me! It has nothing to do with anyone else!¡±
¡°You and Gu Chu have nothing to do with each other. If Gu Wan didn¡¯t instruct you, you wouldn¡¯t even know her. Why would you attack her?¡± Feng Jia¡¯s gaze turned colder.
¡°I was just obsessed with her. I can¡¯t have her, so I wanted to destroy her! She wasn¡¯t even hurt, isn¡¯t it enough that you¡¯ve locked me up for so many days?¡±
Shen Shan sneered. ¡°I know that she¡¯s rich, so you all want to please her. But I¡¯m not blind to thew. I know that in my current situation, I won¡¯t serve a long sentence!¡±
The policeman asked, ¡°How do you know her?¡±
Shen Shan¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°Online.¡±
¡°Where?¡±
¡°Tiger Forum.¡±
The policeman felt that it was ridiculous. ¡°This forum was popr ten years ago. Now it¡¯s already down. You¡¯re still lying. Shen Shan, do you know that this can also be used to punish you!¡±
Shen Shan suddenly raised his head and met Feng Jia¡¯s gaze. He lowered his head in a panic, not daring to look directly at him. He felt that he was different from the other policemen. He decided to y dumb. ¡°I have a mental illness. At that time, I had a seizure and did not know anything. I could not control my behavior!¡±
Feng Jia suddenly stood up.
Shen Shan thought that he was going to leave, but unexpectedly, he slowly said, ¡°Ten years ago, you went to the Chen family.¡±
Shen Shan¡¯s face instantly sank.
¡°You and the Chen family knew each other, so the two elders of the Chen family were not on guard against you. But after you went in, without saying a word, you began to beat them up. After severely injuring them, you ran to the back of the mountain and hid until the police found you two dayster.¡±
Chapter 122 - Unexpected Gains
Chapter 122: Unexpected Gains
¡°Because of these two cases of intentional injury, you were sentenced to ten years in prison. You were only released from prison half a year ago. Gu Wan came to you and said that you caused the death of her parents and owed her. She wants you to pay for it, right?¡±
Hearing this, Shen Shan clearly became more anxious.
The psychiatrist said that when he was nervous or agitated, he would lose control, just like how he suddenly attacked Gu Chu that day.
But now that he was handcuffed, there was nothing he could do. He could only stare at Feng Jia and gnash his teeth.
The incident between Shen Shan and the Chen family¡¯s elders was in the police¡¯ file. But Feng Jia had made up the story about Gu Wan going to him. To be more precise, he was deliberately provoking Shen Shan.
¡°Gu Wan said that she hated Gu Chu and wanted you to teach her a lesson, right? You don¡¯t even know what Gu Chu looks like, so it was Gu Wan who gave you her photo, phone number, address, and the route to and from work, right? You must have checked the ce beforehand and found an opportunity before taking action, right?¡±
¡°No! You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±
Shen Shan had already forgotten that he denied knowing Gu Wan just now. He was only annoyed at Feng Jia¡¯s usations, ¡°She didn¡¯t instigate me. I was the one who wanted to do it. It has nothing to do with her!¡±
Feng Jiaughed. ¡°She knew you felt guilty towards her, yet deliberately said bad things about Gu Chu to lead you tomit a crime. You just said that you understood thew. Then you should understand that instigating a crime is also a crime.¡±
Shen Shan¡¯s sudden burst of strength almost broke the shackles. Even the iron chair was rattling from his movements!
The other police officers in the interrogation room were shocked by his strength. They shouted at him, ¡°Shen Shan, Don¡¯t move! Sit down!¡±
Shen Shan shouted, ¡°I don¡¯t feel guilty! I helped her kill those two elders because we were in love!¡±
Was that so? Feng Jia raised his eyebrows. In other words, she wanted them to die?
With so much evidence in his hands, wouldn¡¯t Chu Chu be overjoyed?
Indeed, Gu Chu was quite happy now.
But it was because she went to the clubhouse.
Thest time she left, she had thought of finding an opportunity toe back. She didn¡¯t expect to be able toe back so soon.
After Gu Chu came in, she immediately saw the rockery. She thought it was a little funny. She was drunk at that time and didn¡¯t know how she wandered in. Feng Jia was looking for her from the outside, but she was hiding in the rockery and sleeping.
Lin Yu said gently, ¡°We can walk aroundter. The person you want to meet has arrived. Follow me.¡±
Gu Chu was curious. ¡°Who are we meeting? Lin Yu, you and I have been ying charades all the way. Now it¡¯s time to reveal the answer, right?¡±
Lin Yu smiled. ¡°You asked me to help you keep an eye on Taoist Wu¡¯s painting? I found it.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Really?¡±
¡°I have a friend who wants to sell it. If you don¡¯t want it, he will auction it tonight.¡± Lin Yu looked at her with a smile. ¡°Are you surprised?¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Yes!¡±
She had searched for half a year without any results. Now that there was finally news, she wouldn¡¯t give up so easily.
She immediately walked in. ¡°Where is he? Where¡¯s the painting?¡±
Lin Yu followed her. Seeing her anxious look, he couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Turn left in front.¡±
When they came to a private room, Lin Yu knocked on the door twice, then pushed the door open and entered.
Gu Chu looked over. It was a young man. He and Lin Yu nodded at each other as a greeting. Gu Chu felt that he looked familiar. She must have seen him somewhere before.
However, she was now even more interested in the painting that was spread out on the table.
Lin Yu handed her a magnifying ss. ¡°It¡¯s been appraised. This is an authentic painting.¡±
The young man said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s authentic. If I didn¡¯t need money urgently, I wouldn¡¯t want to sell this. This is my family¡¯s heirloom!¡±
Gu Chu looked at the painting carefully. She had never learned how to appraise paintings, but she had seen and touched many antiques since she was young. She could more or less know.
Lin Yu stood behind her and looked at the painting with her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know that you liked Taoist Wu¡¯s paintings?¡±
Gu Chu said without turning her head, ¡°It is my mother who likes them, not me.¡±
Mrs. Gu came from a schrly family and was very interested in calligraphy and paintings. She had asked many people to look for Taoist Wu¡¯s paintings when her mother mentioned them. She had originally nned to give them to her on her birthday, but there had been no news.
Chapter 123 - The Painting is in Her Hands
Chapter 123: The Painting is in Her Hands
Gu Chu straightened her back and asked the young man, ¡°How much is it?¡±
The young man stretched out a few fingers. Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°This is several times higher than the market price, right?¡±
¡°Some things have a price but no market, and some things... have a market but no price.¡± The young man¡¯s tone was smug.
Therefore, there was no market price at all.
Gu Chu looked at the painting and was a little hesitant.
The young man shrugged indifferently. ¡°Since you¡¯re Lin Yu¡¯s friend, I¡¯ll give you a fixed price. If you don¡¯t want it, I¡¯ll immediately send it to the auction house. Maybe I can sell it for a higher price.¡±
Gu Chu looked at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu just happened to look at her. The two exchanged nces and knew what the other was nning.
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°You said just now that you need the money now. If you sent it to the auction house, they might not be able to sell it for a while. It might take ten days to half a month, or it might even take a year. If you¡¯re unlucky, you might not be able to sell it. Then, who knows when you¡¯ll be able to sell it.¡±
Lin Yu nodded and added, ¡°When it¡¯s sold, you¡¯ll have to pay the auction house a heftymission. This will take up a lot of time, but you also have to spend a lot of money.¡±
Gu Chu continued, ¡°You¡¯ll also have to buy insurance for it. If anything happens to it on the way to the auction house, your loss will be even greater.¡±
Lin Yu nodded in agreement. ¡°The insurance premium for antiques is not low, and there are usually hidden terms. If you are deceived, it is very likely that you will lose everything.¡±
They worked together to persuade him. He gritted his teeth and thought about it, but he was still unwilling to ept it.
¡°I would rather take some risks than sell it to you at a loss. Otherwise, my ancestors would not forgive me.¡±
¡°Hey.¡± Gu Chu patted his shoulder. ¡°We¡¯re all friends. Let¡¯s take a step back. I¡¯ll give you this much..¡±
She recited a number and said, ¡°If you agree, I¡¯ll give you the money now.¡±
The young man: ¡°?¡±
They were so good at negotiating.
Lin Yu took Gu Chu¡¯s hand off the man¡¯s shoulder and smiled innocently. ¡°I can write you a check without going through your bank. It¡¯ll be more convenient for you.¡±
The young man was still hesitating when Gu Chu¡¯s phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was from Feng Jia.
Gu Chu hung up and opened Wechat to reply to him. ¡°I¡¯m busy. Is there something urgent?¡±
Feng Jia only replied to her. ¡°Come home early. I have something to tell you tonight.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
The young man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. ¡°Alright, deal!¡±
Gu Chu and Lin Yu looked at each other and smiled.
They had done a lot of such things together since they were young. They could tell what the other party was thinking with just a nce.
The young man was still a little angry. ¡°You guys are really too cunning!¡±
Gu Chu realized that this man was interesting, so she asked, ¡°Why can¡¯t you go through your bank?¡±
Lin Yu replied, ¡°He stole this painting. If there¡¯s arge amount of money transferred into his bank ount, won¡¯t his father notice it?¡±
¡°He stole it?¡± Gu Chu took a look at the painting and was a little worried. ¡°Then will there be a problem if I buy it?¡±
Lin Yu said, ¡°Get him to sign a receipt.¡±
Gu Chu thought for a moment. ¡°Let¡¯s record a video.¡±
Double insurance.
The young man: ¡°...¡±.
After the transaction waspleted, Gu Chu carried the painting and left the clubhouse with Lin Yu. She was ted and caressed the painting gently.
Lin Yu saw that she was happy, so he was happy too. He said, ¡°It¡¯s been raining these few days at night. Be careful.¡±
Sure!
Gu Chu came to her senses. ¡°Thank you. It¡¯s all because of you that I get to have the painting.¡±
Lin Yu did not mind. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±
¡°To me, it¡¯s not a small matter.¡±
She wanted to give this painting to her mother.
She thought that she would be very happy to receive it.
She could also take advantage of her good mood to tell her the truth about Gu Wan¡¯s disappearance back then.
In fact, Gu Wan had lied to her. This way, the misunderstanding between mother and daughter would be resolved.
The more Gu Chu thought about it, the better her mood became. Her almond-shaped eyes shone brightly under the candlelight from thentern hanging in the corridor. ¡°Lin Yu, shall we go eat?¡±
Chapter 124 - Feng Jia Said They’d Talk Tomorrow
Chapter 124: Feng Jia Said They¡¯d Talk Tomorrow Trantion
¡°I¡¯ll drive. Which restaurant are we going to?¡± Lin Yu went out and took the car keys from the parking attendant.
There was a small red flower on the car keys. At first, he thought it was an ornament, but when he pinched it with his hand, the flower immediately dyed his fingers red. There was no doubt that it was a flower petal.
¡°She probably got it by ident,¡± he thought.
He threw it away casually.
After she told him the address, Lin Yu drove to the restaurant.
Gu Chu carefully ced the painting in the back seat and covered it with a piece of clothing.
¡°Did it go well in the capital this time?¡± Gu Chu asked as she transferred the money for the painting to him.
Lin Yu replied, ¡°Yes, the project has officially started. But in two days, I have to go again.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. ¡°What happened?¡±
He replied, ¡°There are some local residents who are against the project. I need to go deal with them.¡±
¡°Do you to go personally?¡±
¡°Yes, it seems serious.¡±
Gu Chu thought about it and agreed. After all, this was their territory. If they really did something behind their backs, then the cost of the project would be greater than the revenue.
She said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll see if I can free up some time to go with you.¡±
She did not dare to make any promises, in case she stood him up likest time.
Lin Yu asked her, ¡°Have you solved your problem?¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve solved it.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Lin Yu did not ask about the information. Firstly, Gu Wan was a girl, and secondly, she was like his sister. It was not polite to ask too much.
When they entered the restaurant and ordered the dishes, Lin Yu specifically reminded her, ¡°Don¡¯t order wine.¡±
Gu Chu was a little embarrassed. ¡°I know.¡±
Every time she drank, she would do something embarassing. How would she dare to drink more?
After dinner, Lin Yu asked her if she¡¯s going home?
Gu Chu remembered Feng Jia telling her to go home earlier, but she could not wait for her mother to see the painting. She hesitated.
In the end, she said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the Gu family.¡±
She just wanted to get back together with her parents so badly.
Especially her mother. Ever since Gu Wan came back, she had never contacted her again.
Lin Yu sent Gu Chu to the Gu family mansion, then drove away. He would return the car to herter.
Gu Chu entered the house. When the maid who was still tidying up saw her, she called out in surprise, ¡°Second miss?¡±
Gu Chu nced upstairs. ¡°Are my parents asleep?¡±
The maid nodded. ¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell them that I¡¯m back until tomorrow morning. I want to give them a surprise.¡±
The maid smiled. ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu returned to her room and ced the painting on the table. When she thought about how her mother would be surprised by the painting tomorrow, she couldn¡¯t help but chuckle.
She sat happily on the bay window and called Feng Jia while the night breeze blew gently.
Feng Jia quickly picked up the call and asked immediately, ¡°Are you back?¡±
Gu Chu coughed lightly. ¡°I¡¯m back at the Gu mansion.¡±
He went silent instantly. Only the sound of his breathing could be heard, proving that he was still listening.
Gu Chu guessed that he was probably unhappy. After all, he had told her to go back.
In the end, she went home without telling him..
He couldn¡¯t evene and get her.
Gu Chu thought of what he said about feeling alone in the empty house and felt a little sympathy for him and exined politely, ¡°I bought a painting and wanted to give it to my mother, so I came straight back.¡±
Feng Jia was still very quiet on the other end.
¡°Alright, my dear. I¡¯ll go back tomorrow after I deliver the painting. Or you cane here to pick me up tomorrow morning. You haven¡¯t been to my house for a long time. Come and have a meal!¡±
Gu Chu was good with words. With her soft tone, Feng Jia finally said, ¡°Gu Wan went to the police station today.¡±
¡°Ah? She really went!¡± Gu Chu straightened up immediately. ¡°So, she really ordered Shen Shan to attack me?¡±
¡°Yes and no. Shen Shan also said something else.¡±
What do you mean yes and no? Was It soplicated?
Gu Chu quickly asked, ¡°What did he say?¡±
¡°We¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow.¡± After he said that, he hung up the phone.
¡°...¡±
Gu Chu was stunned for three seconds. Looking at the phone, she burst outughing.
So, he was clearly trying to keep her in suspense and didn¡¯t want her to fall asleep.
Was it to get back at her for noting home tonight?
Gu Chu burst intoughter. This person was quite vengeful, wasn¡¯t he?
She threw her phone on the bed.
Tsk, who needs love.
Chapter 125 - Seducing Feng Jia
Chapter 125: Seducing Feng Jia
Gu Chu said that, but after staring at her phone for a while, she still couldn¡¯t resist her curiosity and pounced on the bed to send a message to him.
She called him all kinds of sweet things like ¡°baby¡±, ¡°dear¡±, ¡°darling¡±, but Feng Jia didn¡¯t respond.
Gu Chu even sent a selfie, trying to seduce him into telling her, but he did not respond until she was so sleepy that she crawled into bed.
Ha, what a short-tempered bastard.
Gu Chu cursed and fell asleep.
Feng Jia had been absent from work for a day, just finished working overtime. He came out of the study and went downstairs to get some water.
As he drank, he opened Wechat and saw that Gu Chu had sent more than a dozen messages.
The more he read, the more he found it funny.
There were only two asions when she would sweet-talk him. One was when they were in bed and she couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, so she begged for mercy. The other was when she had done something wrong, or when she had something to ask for.
Feng Jia clicked open Gu Chu¡¯s selfie. She was lying on the bed with her cor open, revealing a lot of skin. Her delicate corbone and two balls of flesh were exposed.
He admired it for a while before he saved it.
Finally, he locked the screen. After drinking some water, he went upstairs.
He did not even take two steps before he switched on his phone again. He gave in to her beauty and told her the story.
Now that she was in the Gu family, it was inevitable that she would provoke Gu Wan. If they quarreled again, she would have these things to hold over her, so she would have more confidence.
*
The next morning, when Gu Chu woke up, she read the story.
Feng Jia¡¯s story-telling was naturally not as vivid as hers. He said bluntly that Gu Wan and Shen Shan might be lovers. Gu Wan probably did not order him to attack her, but there was something fishy about the death of her adoptive parents. She might have ordered Shen Shan to injure them.
Gu Chu thought he was a good man.
Then, she was shocked. He had revealed such a big secret?
Gu Wan lied and spread rumors. Now, she was even involved in the death of her adoptive parents?
She brushed her teeth as she thought about how to deal with this matter.
Should she investigate it herself, tell her parents, or call the police directly?
Now that Gu Wan was also a member of the Gu family, her every move was tied to the Gu Corporation. If she were to act rashly, it might affect the stock price of the Gu Corporation.
Therefore, she had to think twice before acting.
Gu Chu still couldn¡¯t think of a n by the time she was applying lotion, so she decided to put it aside for now.
She had better make up with her mother first, then go back and discuss with Feng Jia.
Gu Chu pulled open the curtains. The weather was good today.
She picked up the painting and walked downstairs quietly.
At this moment, her parents did not know that Gu Chu hade backst night. The two of them were having breakfast in the dining room.
They were sitting facing away from Gu Chu, so they could not see her. She tiptoed over, intending to surprise them.
Mrs. Gu took a sip of milk and suddenly said, ¡°Have you thought about what I told you?¡±
Mr. Gu paused and asked, ¡°You talk to me about so many things every day. Which one exactly do you mean?¡±
Mrs. Gu sneered, ¡°You know which one I¡¯m talking about.¡±
Gu Chu stopped in her tracks and hid. She was a little curious. Which one was it?
Mr. Gu did not speak. He ate his breakfast quietly and tried to ignore the matter with silence as usual.
However, Mrs. Gu did not want to drag it out any longer, she said immediately, ¡°Gu Wan has suffered so much outside. When she came back, she did not fight for anything. The only thing she wanted was this. As parents, can¡¯t we help her?¡±
Mr. Gu sighed deeply. ¡°This isn¡¯t something that we can help her even if we want to. It also depends on Feng Jia¡¯s intentions.¡±
¡°You¡¯ve tested the Feng family¡¯s attitude that night. He clearly only likes Gu Chu. Feng Jia has also said that even if Mrs. Feng agrees to it, it has nothing to do with him. Now that things havee to this, what do you n to do?¡±
Behind the wall, Gu Chu¡¯s heart sank. It turned out that they had not given up on changing the engagement.
Ever since Feng Jia had expressed his stance in front of everyone in the old residence, she had thought that they had given up. She did not expect her mother to insist on it.
Gu Chu tightened her grip on the painting in her arms. She was upset. She then heard her mother speak sarcastically, ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous to talk about feelings with a businessman?¡±
She then said matter-of-factly, ¡°Feng Jia chose Gu Chu because we haven¡¯t exined the stakes clearly. When we do, he will definitely choose Gu Wan.¡±
¡°The Feng family signed the marriage agreement with the Gu family because they like our position in Haicheng City, right? What does it have to do with the love between a man and a woman?¡±
At this point, Mrs. Gu sneered again. ¡°If he really liked Gu Chu, he wouldn¡¯t have signed the Haiyang Project to Gu Wanst time.¡±
Chapter 126 - Mrs. Gu’s Hurtful Words
Chapter 126: Mrs. Gu¡¯s Hurtful Words
Mr. Gu frowned. ¡°What¡¯s at stake?¡±
Mrs. Gu had long decided to have a showdown this morning, so she did not allow the servants to enter the dining hall, and spoke without restraint.
¡°Feng Jia¡¯s parents will be returning to the country soon, so will his second and third brother. All these years, they have been managing theirpany¡¯s branch offices overseas, and they have done a decent job. In addition, they have always been by their parents¡¯ side. Compared to Feng Jia, his parents are closer to his brothers, which is very disadvantageous to his position in the Feng family.¡±
¡°If he agrees to change the engagement, we will give him 10% of the shares of the Gu Corporation as Gu Wan¡¯s dowry. With the support of the Gu Corporation¡¯s shares, his position in the Feng Corporation will be unshakable. Even Mrs. Feng¡¯s son, Feng Huai will not be a threat to him.¡±
¡°He is a smart man. He knows how to choose.¡±
Gu Chu took a step forward in a daze.
She really wanted to see the expression on her mother¡¯s face when she said those words. Unfortunately, she could only see her back.
She actually wanted to give away thepany¡¯s shares?
10% of the shares?
The Gu family was thergest shareholder of the Gu family, but they only held 70% of the shares. She gave away one-seventh of the shares. It was really a huge sum.
What about her? What should she do?
Did her mother consider her when she said this?
Gu Chu did not dare to hug the painting too tightly. She was afraid that it would damage the painting that she had obtained with great difficulty. Thus, gripped her own clothes.
It was not that she did not know that her mother was biased. However, this was happening over and over again. She really did not care about her anymore¡
Gu Chu¡¯s throat felt dry. Why? Was she not her daughter anymore?
She had never cried before, but this time, her eyes were red.
Mr. Gu asked Mrs. Gu, ¡°Then have you considered Chu Chu¡¯s feelings? After all, she is your daughter too. Aren¡¯t you hurting her by doing this?¡±
There was a moment of silence in the dining hall.
After a long while, Mrs. Gu finally spoke. ¡°I love Gu Chu too, but she didn¡¯t take this marriage to heart in the first ce. She even asked me if I could break off the engagement. She¡¯s just with Feng Jia because of the engagement contract. Losing the engagement is like losing a bag to her. She¡¯ll be fine after two or three days. She won¡¯t feel bad for long.¡±
¡°Besides, she probably likes Lin Yu more, right? They were childhood sweethearts, and they have always been very close.¡±
Speaking of Lin Yu, Mrs. Gu straightened her back even more, and her tone became more confident.
¡°Sun Lin also likes her very much. More than once, she told me that if Chu Chu didn¡¯t have an engagement with Feng Jia, she would definitely make her her daughter-inw. Moreover, Gu Chu and Lin Yin have a good rtionship. Both her future mother-inw and sister-inw like her very much. She will be very happy for the rest of her life.¡±
Yes, that was it.
The guilt that Mrs. Gu felt when she was questioned was instantly swept away, she became even more determined. ¡°Gu Chu has the Lin family as a good choice, but Gu Wan has nothing left. If we don¡¯t make ns for her, what else can she do? She¡¯s our daughter!¡±
Mr. Gu was still a little hesitant. ¡°Have you really thought it through? I think that Chu Chu has feelings for Feng Jia...¡±
Mrs. Gu interrupted him impatiently. ¡°The moment I found Gu Wan, I had already made up my mind. I will do everything I can to make it up to her.¡±
She simply stood up, her tone was firm. ¡°Gu Chu has already gotten too many things that don¡¯t belong to her. Whether it¡¯s us, Gu Wan, or even the entire Gu family, none of us owe her anything. On the contrary, all of us owe Gu Wan!¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wan¡¯s surprised voice suddenly rang out. ¡°Chu Chu, when did you return home?¡±
Gu Wan stood behind Gu Chu for an unknown amount of time before she finally spoke up and exposed Gu Chu, who was hiding behind the wall.
Gu Chu? !
Mr. Gu was shocked and turned around abruptly. When he saw Gu Chu, he was a little shocked. ¡°Chu Chu, when did youe back?¡±
Mrs. Gu turned around as well. Gu Chu finally saw her face clearly and asked in a low voice, ¡°What do you mean by things that don¡¯t belong to me?¡±
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips. She didn¡¯t expect her to hear everything she said.
Since everything was out in the open, she might as well make it worse. She looked at Mrs. Gu and repeated the question, ¡°Mom, what did you mean just now? What did I have that doesn¡¯t belong to me? Or is it that you think that I caused Gu Wan to be lost back then, so you think that I¡¯m a sinner and that I don¡¯t deserve anything?¡±
Chapter 127 - Quarrelling with Mrs. Gu
Chapter 127: Quarrelling with Mrs. Gu
Mr. Gu tried to smooth things over. ¡°Gu Chu, you¡¯re thinking too much. Your mother and I didn¡¯t mean it that way. You haven¡¯t had breakfast yet, right? Come and sit down and eat with us.¡±
Gu Chu ignored him and continued to ask, ¡°Even if Gu Wan¡¯s disappearance had something to do with me, I was only four years old back then. What do I know? Are you being fair to me by ming all of this on me?¡±
If things continued like this, there would definitely be a huge change in the Gu family. Mr. Gu simply wanted to pull her away. ¡°Chu Chu, your mother didn¡¯t mean that. Come with me.¡±
Gu Chu shook his hand away. ¡°No!¡±
Mr. Gu could not hold her back. Gu Chu went up to her mother.
¡°I always thought that you med me because you believed Gu Wan¡¯s words. It turns out that it¡¯s not like that. You just don¡¯t like me anymore.¡±
If it was just because of this, Mrs. Gu would not say things like ¡°She¡¯d gotten too many things that don¡¯t belong to her.¡±
The things that she had, apart from material things, were rtionships. Her parents regretted doting on her. How much did they resent her, or perhaps they hated her, for saying such things?
Gu Chu released her fingers. Her fingertips trembled slightly as they were numb.
If her mother had treated her badly before, she would not be so sad if she treated Gu Wan well after she returned. However, it was obvious that she treated her badly because of Gu Wan.
She had read on the inte that those who said that they didn¡¯t have a good family tend to have low self-esteem and introvertedness. She had also seen that many of her peers had been taught to manage the family business very strictly since they were young.
She was very d that she was born in the Gu family, and that her parents did not blindly train her to be an heiress.
Moreover, they gave her a lot of love and a lot of confidence, which was why she had her fearless personality now.
The thing that she used to be proud of had turned into something that she did not deserve?
Her mother avoided her hurt gaze and said after a pause, ¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t like you, don¡¯t be too sensitive.¡±
Gu Wan leaned on her walking stick and said, ¡°Yes, Chu Chu. I still care about you. When you weren¡¯t home, I kept talking about you.¡±
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t listen at all. She shouted, ¡°You have no right to talk to me!¡±
Gu Wan subconsciously took a step back. Her mother frowned, ¡°How could you talk to your sister like that?¡±
¡°Why should I be polite to a lowly, lying person who might even be a criminal?¡± Gu Chu snorted coldly.
Her mother looked at her in disappointment. ¡°You came back today to argue with me? Isn¡¯t it enough that you showed off your power in the board meeting?¡±
Gu Chu hugged the painting in her hand tightly. She was so happy yesterday, but now she is just disappointed. ¡°How much do you know about what happened at the board meeting? She used me without any evidence. Can¡¯t I even prove my innocence? Do I have to stand there and let her throw mud at me?¡±
¡°If there¡¯s a misunderstanding, just rify it. Why did you ask your sister to leave the Gu Corporation?¡± Mrs. Gu was also angry, ¡°Your sister is new here. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t take care of her, but you still want to make things difficult for her. Aren¡¯t you trying to show off your power? Do you know how upset your sister is because of this? She can¡¯t even eat.¡±
She sneered, ¡°The reason she has no appetite is not because of this, right?¡±
Gu Wan was obviously afraid that Shen Shan would expose her!
Thinking of Shen Shan, Gu Chu asked again, ¡°I was attacked by a man at thepany. Did you ask about me? She lied at the board meeting and was exposed by me and you me me? We¡¯re both your daughters. Aren¡¯t you biased by doing this?¡±
Her throat was dry. She thought it was ridiculous andughable. ¡°She¡¯s been gone for more than 20 years and this became her get-out-of-jail-free card and my sin?¡±
But, why?
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t take it anymore, at this moment, she burst out, ¡°Gu Wan being lost was her own fault! She thought that I didn¡¯t remember what happened back then, so she spouted nonsense in front of you, but you didn¡¯t even ask before you convicted me! Is this fair to me?¡±
Mrs. Gu mmed the table and stood up, extremely angry. ¡°What do you mean? What do you mean she¡¯s lost because she brought it on herself? How much do you know about Gu Wan¡¯s suffering outside? How can you spout nonsense?¡±
Chapter 128 - Gu Chu Defended Herself
Chapter 128: Gu Chu Defended Herself
¡°I¡¯m not spouting nonsense!¡± Gu Chu gritted her teeth, ¡°What kind of suffering did she suffer? Wasn¡¯t she just a mistress? Even if she was forced to a dead end, so what? Do I have to sympathize with a mistress?¡±
¡°Did she sympathize with the spouse who was hurt by the affair? She chose to be someone else¡¯s mistress. She knew that Feng Jia was my fianc¨¦, yet she still tried to seduce him. If she¡¯s not trash, then what is?!¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Gu suddenly stretched out her hand and pped Gu Chu.
In that instant, the air became quiet.
Gu Chu¡¯s head was hurting from the p.
She slowly turned her head around, tears streaming down her face.
Mrs. Gu looked at her coldly. The way she looked at her did not seem like she was looking at a daughter, but at the enemy who ndered her daughter!
No one expected Mrs. Gu to do that. Mr. Gu pulled Gu Chu back a few steps in shock. ¡°Chu Chu!¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s defense waspletely broken by this p. ¡°I didn¡¯t cause her to get lost. I didn¡¯t ask her to buy ice cream for me!¡±
¡°It was her! She was the one who said she was going to bring me for ice cream, then she took me far away from home and left without me! She was the one who wanted to leave me behind, and she deserved it, she was kidnapped by a human trafficker! It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t havepassion, it¡¯s that she has nned to harm me since I was young! The man who attacked me in thepany was her boyfriend, and he admitted to everything! Why do you protect her regardless of the truth? Am I not your daughter?¡±
She had wanted to ask her mother this a long time ago.
She wasn¡¯t just being biased, she was simply not interested in her at all!
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t stay any longer, so she turned around and ran away from the Gu residence!
Mr. Gu chased after her, ¡°Gu Chu! Chu Chu!¡±
Gu Chu turned a deaf ear. Fortunately, she had brought her bag with her when she went downstairs, so she immediately got into the car, stepped on the elerator, and rushed out of the Gu residence.
At this moment, her mind was nk. She drove very fast, and she didn¡¯t slow down even though she was driving on a small road in the forest.
Her vision was blurry. When the car flew past the speed bump, it was sent flying. The steering wheel suddenly lost control and with a bang, it crashed into a tree by the roadside!
Gu Chu leaned forward and was pulled back by the safety belt. Half of her body crashed heavily into the seat!
Her chest hurt badly and she could not help but reach out to press it. Other than the pain from the impact, the biggest pain was in her heart.
The car ident wasn¡¯t serious, only the front of the car was dented. Gu Chu curled up and finally burst into tears.
The car was equipped with an rm system, which would automatically send out a warning signal when the car was in a collision.
There was once when Meng Lang crashed the car on a rainy day. The car skidded and hit a stone block, then drifted. Half the car was suspended in the river. If it moved any further, it would be in danger of falling.
Coincidentally, he did not have his cell phone with him, and there was no one else around. He was trapped in the car for three hours before he was rescued.
That time, he was really scared, so he asked someone to design an rm system to install in all cars. When someone was in a car ident, it could send out a distress signal so that they would be discovered before it¡¯s toote.
The number that Gu Chu was connected to was Feng Jia¡¯s number.
Feng Jia had nned to pick up Gu Chu in the morning, but at that moment, his phone suddenly beeped.
At first, he didn¡¯t know what rm it was, but then he realized it was Gu Chu¡¯s car ident alert.
His expression changed, and he quickly got up and called Gu Chu.
Meng Lang¡¯s system was quite crude. It only showed that there was an ident, not the degree of impact.
Feng Jia called twice, but no one picked up. He frowned and panicked.
The location was very close to the Gu family. He was about to call the Gu family to see what had happened.
Fortunately, the third call he made was answered by Gu Chu.
Feng Jia said anxiously, ¡°Are you okay? Did you have a car ident?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Gu Chu replied in a muffled voice. ¡°But it¡¯s not serious. I¡¯m fine.¡±
Feng Jia finally loosened his grip on the steering wheel. Only then did he realize that there was ayer of cold sweat behind him. ¡°Then where are you now?¡±
Gu Chu fell silent again. Feng Jia¡¯s voice was tense. ¡°Speak!¡±
¡°I¡¯m...¡± Gu Chu looked up and said, ¡°at Mingtian Bar.¡±
Chapter 129 - Harassed
Chapter 129: Harassed
Since she was not injured, she left her car by the side of the road and hailed a cab.
As the saying goes, drink to drown your sorrows. How can she drown her sorrows without alcohol?
It was past ten o¡¯clock in the morning, and the bar had not officially opened yet. The waiter had just cleaned up the previous night when Gu Chu walked in. He was about to ask her to leave, but when he recognized Gu Chu, he shut his mouth.
Meng Lang and the others often came here. High-spending and easy-going customers were notmon in this day and age. They were the bar¡¯s SVIP.
Sometimes, Gu Chu would be called along, so the waiter knew her.
The bartender had just finished cleaning up the wine ss and was about to doze off when he saw Gu Chu, he immediately perked up. ¡°Miss Gu, why are you here so early? Would you like a ss of wine?¡±
Gu Chu nced at the menu. There were all kinds of wines. She nced at it and said, ¡°A ss of water.¡±
Although she needed alcohol to numb herself at this time, she knew how much she could drink.
Gu Chu ced her phone on the bar counter. She turned off the mute and looked at it anxiously, as if she was waiting for someone¡¯s call.
She had just cried. At this moment, she felt physically and mentally exhausted. She held her head and stared nkly at one spot.
She only wanted to wait for Feng Jia toe and pick her up, but she did not expect to be disturbed.
A man who reeked of alcohol and was drunk pushed open the door and entered. When he saw Gu Chu sitting there alone, he could not help but walk over. ¡°Girl, why are you alone?¡±
Gu Chu nced at him and frowned as she asked the waiter, ¡°Why did you let him in?¡±
The waiter quickly said, ¡°Miss Gu, I¡¯m sorry, the guard was careless.¡±
Then, he looked at the man. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. We haven¡¯t opened for business yet, so we won¡¯t be receiving customers for the time being.¡±
¡°Won¡¯t be receiving customers?¡± The man shouted. ¡°Who are you lying to? Why is she here? Isn¡¯t she a customer?¡±
Then, he looked at Gu Chu with a wretched expression. ¡°Is she an escort? How much is it for one night? The price is negotiable. If you treat me well, I¡¯ll give you all the money I have.¡±
Gu Chuughed in her heart.
The waiter looked at him in fear. He was not worried about Gu Chu, but about the man. This man was simply courting death.
He quickly took out his walkie-talkie. ¡°Security,e in for a moment.¡±
The man even took a sip from Gu Chu¡¯s ss and eximed, ¡°Why are you only drinking in water? Come, let me treat you to something good.¡±
Gu Chu looked at him as if she was looking at a sandbag. She had nowhere to vent her anger. She said, ¡°I can¡¯t hold my liquor. I don¡¯t drink.¡±
¡°It¡¯s okay, there¡¯s beer.¡± The man sat next to her and shouted at the bartender, ¡°Two beers, please.¡±
The bartender looked at Gu Chu hesitantly. Seeing that Gu Chu didn¡¯t refuse, he poured two sses for them.
The man pushed the ss in front of her attentively. ¡°It¡¯s not high in alcohol, have some.¡±
¡°I¡¯m not in a good mood today. It¡¯s not toote for you to leave now, or else...¡± Gu Chu¡¯s voice gradually turned cold. ¡°Don¡¯t me me for being rude.¡±
The man seemed to have heard a big joke as he pointed at Gu Chu andughed at the bartender. ¡°Hahaha, she actually threatened me. Tell me, or else what?¡±
The bartender: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu did not put on any makeup and was dressed in in clothes, and her depressed spirit added a sense of vulnerability to her. Of course the man would not take her to heart.
The man stopped smiling. His face gradually darkened. ¡°You must drink this today. Otherwise, we¡¯ll see who¡¯s rude!¡±
Gu Chu nced at the door. When she saw the person who came in, she stretched out her hand. ¡°Alright, give me the ss.¡±
¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be better if you were so tactful earlier?¡± The man chuckled.
However, just as the man handed it over, Gu Chu reached out and hit his arm.
¡°Ssh!¡± A ss of beer was poured all over the man¡¯s body, and a small portion was poured on his face!
The man was furious. ¡°You little b * tch!¡±
He raised his hand and was about to hit Gu Chu, but just as he did that, aman behind him grabbed him and pulled him back!
The man immediately screamed, ¡°Ah!¡±
He was in so much pain that he was drenched in cold sweat. When he took a deep breath and turned, he met a pair of cold eyes.
Chapter 130 - Cried to Feng Jia
Chapter 130: Cried to Feng Jia
¡°Who are you?¡± The man asked.
Feng Jia couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and threw him to the security guard who came with him. ¡°Get him out of here.¡±
The security guard dragged the man out of the room. The man threw a tantrum and threatened to take revenge on them.
The waiter followed him out and kindly advised him, ¡°You¡¯re from out of town, right? Don¡¯t cause trouble here in Haicheng City because you don¡¯t know who you¡¯re messing with. In the end, you don¡¯t even know how you died!¡±
¡°...¡±
Gu Chu was still sitting by the bar counter as steady as a mountain. She didn¡¯t even move her butt.
She was confused. For the past twenty-five years of her life, she had lived freely. At that moment, she didn¡¯t know how to live anymore.
She had been thinking about it in a daze, but she still had no clue.
The bartender took the beer and poured two sses of water. Feng Jia signaled him to get off work, and soon, there were only the two of them left.
Feng Jia first looked her up and down, but he didn¡¯t see any injuries on her body. It seemed that the car ident wasn¡¯t serious.
He didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He just looked at her. ¡°Did you quarrel with your parents?¡±
Gu Chu nced at him, then lowered her eyes and admitted silently.
Feng Jia guessed it. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have left the Gu family so early.
He also saw red veins in her eyes. He asked her, ¡°What happened?¡±
Gu Chu had recovered, but when he asked this question, she almost copsed again.
Among all the things that she couldn¡¯t figure out, there was one thing, and that was, would this bastard in front of her still be hers?
The Feng and Gu families were inws. The internal strife between the three Feng brothers had always existed, and the 10% shares of the Gu family were indeed tempting¡
And she was the one who had been abandoned by the Gu family.
She looked at Feng Jia without saying a word.
Feng Jia asked tentatively, ¡°Hmm?¡±
Gu Chu leaned against him and said in a low and muffled voice, ¡°Your little vixen has suffered a lot.¡±
Feng Jia paused and patted her back, ¡°I can see that. Tell me what happened so that I can avenge you.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s body trembled and she looked up at him.
Avenge her? These words carried a lot of weight.
She thought of what he said to her at Lin Yin¡¯s house.
So, they were not only bound by a contract, but also had feelings for each other, right?
She looked at him for a long time with a wronged expression before she found her voice again. ¡°My mother, she, pped me.¡±
Feng Jia immediately looked at the other half of her face that was hidden under the light. He could still see the red marks.
His eyes darkened a little.
Gu Chu looked pitiful. ¡°Ever since I was young, she has never said anything harsh to me. This time, she actually hit me because of Gu Wan? !¡±
¡°I already told her that Gu Wan was the one who threw me away back then. Instead of getting rid of me, she was kidnapped. I even told her about the rtionship between Gu Wan and Shen Shan, but she didn¡¯t believe me. After she hit me, she still hasn¡¯t called me tofort me.¡±
She kept her phone on the bar counter. She had been waiting for her mother¡¯s call.
Gu Chu thought that her mother woulde to her senses when she heard the truth, but now that she thought about it, she was the one who was stupid andughable.
She gave up. ¡°Actually, the truth is not important to her at all. All she wants is Gu Wan.¡±
Previously, when she was at the resort, she used Gu Wan¡¯s past to threaten her. Now that she thought about it, she didn¡¯t care at all because she had their mother¡¯s support.
Gu Chu turned around and picked up the painting that she had been carrying with her and handed it to Feng Jia. ¡°She doesn¡¯t want it anyway. Help me donate it to the museum.¡±
Feng Jia opened it and saw that it was a painting by Taoist Wu. He could tell that she was going to give it to her mother.
He put away the painting and said softly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you usually the best at acting? Why aren¡¯t you acting this time?¡±
This sentence was not derogatory. Gu Chu had always been smart. A smart person would know how to do smart things. She would either make it up or pretend. In any case, it was better to lie than to die.
Gu Chu straightened her back and distanced herself from him. ¡°I can¡¯t pretend anymore. How can I fake a mother-daughter rtionship?¡±
Feng Jia looked at her inquisitively.
She simply said, ¡°I heard her tell dad that she wanted to give 10% of Gu Enterprise¡¯s shares to you as Gu Wan¡¯s dowry. In order to help Gu Wan, she has already done so much. What am I? Moreover, she said that what I have now is something I shouldn¡¯t have.¡±
So, she couldn¡¯t pretend anymore.
Chapter 131 - The Truth
Chapter 131: The Truth
Feng Jia was stunned when he heard this. ¡°So you¡¯re angry at me, that¡¯s why you didn¡¯t pick up my calls?¡±
Gu Chu snorted softly.
Although Feng Jia was not there, he was involved. How could she not be upset at him?
Feng Jia picked up the ice water on the table and gently touched it against the half of her face that had been pped. ¡°Why did you pick up in the end?¡±
Gu Chu paused for a moment. She moved away and then leaned towards him, ¡°I can¡¯t avoid it forever. Instead of waiting for her to ask if you¡¯re willing to marry Gu Wan and inform meter, I might as well ask you now.¡±
Does he want her, who has nothing, or Gu Wan, who has 10% of the shares?
Feng Jia shook his head silently. There were some things he did not want to repeat over and over again. He already had the answer in his heart.
He did not respond to her words. Instead, he asked, ¡°Did you just say that Gu Wan wanted to get rid of you when you¡¯re a child? What happened?¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it. I¡¯m not in the mood.¡±
Feng Jia coaxed her, ¡°If you don¡¯t talk about it, how can I avenge you?¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°What can you do even if I told you? The person who hit me was my mother. Are you going to hit her back?¡±
Her face was damp from the tears. Feng Jia took a tissue to wipe it off for her and said in a t tone, ¡°Why not?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
That was not necessary.
It happened more than 20 years ago.
She said slowly, ¡°Gu Wan is four years older than me. She was only eight years old back then. My parents brought us to my grandparents¡¯ house in the capital. That afternoon, she suddenly came over and asked me if I wanted to have ice cream. She said that she wanted to bring me. I was young at that time, so when I heard that, I immediately followed her.¡±
¡°We kept changing buses. After we got off thest bus, she took me into a small alley and asked me to squat beside a trash can. She told me not to run around and even said that she woulde back to pick me up after. I agreed, and then she left.¡±
How could a four-year-old kid know how to be on guard, especially to her own sister.
¡°I waited for her obediently for a long time. The sky was getting dark and she didn¡¯t show up. I started to cry. Later, the residents nearby found me and sent me to the police station and I was brought home.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s mouth was dry as she spoke. She picked up another ss of cold water and gulped it down. Her body became cold.
¡°But when I got home, I realized that the one who was really missing was Gu Wan. My parents, grandparents, and I were all frantic. We searched the entire capital but couldn¡¯t find her. They asked me what happened, but I didn¡¯t know anything. All I knew was that my sister wanted to bring me to buy ice cream.¡±
However, the truth was that Gu Wan had brought her to a dead end. There were no shops nearby, let alone an ice cream shop.
No one knew why an eight-year-old child would bring a four-year-old child there, so everyone thought that Gu Wan had been abducted by human traffickers while she was looking for ice cream.
Gu Chuughed. ¡°Now I realized that she probably wanted to throw me away, but she had to pay the price.¡±
Gu Wan had never liked Gu Chu. Gu Chu was the second child, so her arrival took away her love in the Gu family. In her memory, Gu Wan had always looked at her with an unfriendly gaze. Wasn¡¯t it weird that she suddenly wanted to bring her for ice cream? She had even put her next to the trash can. Wasn¡¯t she trying to throw her away?
But now that Gu Wan had returned, she imed that she insisted she buy ice cream for her.
Gu Chu felt so wronged.
She thought that telling the truth meant she didn¡¯t have to take the me anymore. However, others did not care about the truth at all. This made her feel even more bitter.
She was very depressed. She was full of pent-up frustration and had no way to vent it, causing her eyes to redden.
Feng Jia hugged her and put her head against his chest.
Gu Chu asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°Feng Jia, since you¡¯re here, can I have a drink?¡±
Feng Jia looked at the wall filled with wine bottles. He randomly picked one and poured a ss for her.
After she drank the wine, she began to babble in a daze. Her voice was low and husky.
Feng Jia listened closer and heard a few words. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t leave me...¡±
Her mother didn¡¯t want her anymore, so he couldn¡¯t abandon her.
Feng Jia brought Gu Chu back to Jin Yuan Residences. The drunk Gu Chu flipped over and fell into a deep sleep the moment she touched the bed. He looked at her sleeping face, changed his clothes, and left the house.
He said that he would avenge her.
He definitely would.
Chapter 132 - Gu Wan’s Excuses
Chapter 132: Gu Wan¡¯s Excuses
After Gu Chu rushed out of the house, Mr. Gu did not go after her. He came back and questioned Gu Wan, ¡°Do you really know Shen Shan? Tell me the truth, what is your rtionship with that man?¡±
Gu Wan bit her lower lip. ¡°We do know each other...¡±
Seeing his expression change drastically, she quickly added, ¡°But I really did not order him to attack Gu Chu. She misunderstood me. I swear, if I ordered him to do it, I¡¯d be disfigured and I will never be able to marry!¡±
Mrs. Gu immediately became anxious. ¡°Can you casually make such an oath?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Dad, I really didn¡¯t. It was Gu Chu who was prejudiced against me. That¡¯s why she said this.¡±
Seeing her daughter like that, Mrs. Gu immediately held her hand and said without hesitation, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. We all believe you.¡±
Mr. Gu frowned. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier that you knew Shen Shan?¡±
Gu Wan wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°I was afraid that everyone would think that I ordered Shen Shan to do it, so I didn¡¯t dare to say it...¡±
She looked up at her parents, then lowered her eyes and said guiltily, ¡°The truth is, Shen Shan¡¯s attack on Gu Chu did have something to do with me...¡±
When Gu Wan looked up again, the tears in her eyes were already falling down her cheeks. ¡°The person who injured my adoptive parents back then was Shen Shan.¡±
Mr. and Mrs. Gu looked at each other in surprise.
¡°Shen Shan has been pestering me for the past ten years. He said that he liked me and that he wanted to marry me, no matter the cost. On that day, he went to tell my adoptive parents. They didn¡¯t agree with him, so he beat them up until they were seriously injured!¡±
Her body trembled. ¡°Shen Shan, he¡¯s a lunatic!¡±
Mrs. Gu¡¯s heart ached instantly, and she pulled Gu Wan into her arms.
Mr. Gu also sighed deeply.
Gu Wan continued to sob, ¡°Some time ago, he was released after serving his sentence. Once he got out of prison, he came to look for me. I don¡¯t know how he found out that I was here, and I don¡¯t know how he found out about Gu Chu. I didn¡¯t convince him at all!¡±
Hearing that, Mr. Gufrowned and said, ¡°He¡¯s so dangerous. Don¡¯t have any contact with him anymore.¡±
Gu Wan sobbed, ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve always wanted to exin to Chu Chu, but she didn¡¯t want to listen to me at all.¡±
¡°I thought she just had a misunderstanding about me. Now it seems that she actually thought that I wanted to get rid of her back then? But I was only eight years old at the time. How could I be so vicious as to want to get rid of my own sister?¡±
¡°But, in the end, it¡¯s still my fault. If it weren¡¯t for me, Shen Shan wouldn¡¯t havee looking for me. Chu Chu wouldn¡¯t have been attacked, and she wouldn¡¯t have quarreled with mom.¡±
She spoke with tears in her eyes. Mrs. Gu said, ¡°You¡¯re not wrong. Chu Chu was spoiled by us.¡±
Mr. Gu was also convinced. He patted Gu Wan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Leave this matter to me. You should rest for the time being. Before I dealt with Shen Shan¡¯s matter, you shouldn¡¯t go out.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Gu Wan nodded obediently.
The three of them hugged each other. They were an extremely close family.
They did not care about Gu Chu. They just thought that she was acting up and needed to calm down.
When Feng Jia arrived at the Gu residence, the three of them were chatting andughing in the living room. The chefs were preparing dinner enthusiastically.
The servant ran over. ¡°Mr. Feng, you¡¯re here.¡±
Mr. Gu turned around in surprise and saw the man walking over steadily.
He was wearing a casual, dark gray low-neck sweater with a ck windbreaker. They were both dark in color and matched his aura, making him look intimidating.
Mr. Gu stood up and greeted him. ¡°Feng Jia, why are you here? Sit down and have a cup of tea first, then stay for dinner?¡±
Feng Jia remained polite and nodded at Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu. He then said, ¡°Gu Chu had a car ident nearby. She left her car at the same spot, so I came over to take care of it. I also came over to get something.¡±
A car ident? The three of them were shocked.
Mr. Gu quickly asked, ¡°Is Chu Chu alright? Was it in the morning? It¡¯s all my fault. I couldn¡¯t catch up with her!¡±
Gu Wan bit her lip. ¡°If you want to me someone, me me. I shouldn¡¯t have argued with Gu Chu. Mr. Feng, is Chu Chu alright? Which hospital is she in? I¡¯ll go and see her now.¡±
As she spoke, she supported herself with her walking stick and was about to stand up.
Feng Jia nced at her indifferently and then said to Mr. Gu, ¡°Fortunately, she¡¯s not injured. She¡¯s resting at home now.¡±
Chapter 133 - ame for the Household Registration Booklet
Chapter 133: Came for the Household Registration Booklet
Only then did Mr. Gu feel relieved. ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good.¡±
Then, he said to Feng Jia. ¡°Sit, sit down and talk.¡±
Gu Wan gave Feng Jia a seat. Feng Jia did not even look at her. He went around her and sat down on the other side.
Mrs. Gu ordered the servants to serve tea. The three of them thought that Feng Jia was here to deal with Gu Chu¡¯s car ident. They did not expect Gu Chu to have already told him everything.
Mr. Gu had always admired Feng Jia. He asked with a smile in his eyes, ¡°Feng Jia, did you just say that you¡¯re here to look for something? Tell Mrs. Gu, Chu Chu¡¯s things are all over the ce. She is more familiar with it.¡±
The servants served a cup of tea. The fragrance of the tea permeated the air. Feng Jia¡¯s face was reflected on the surface of the tea. His voice was calm, but it was firm and powerful. ¡°I would like to have her household registration booklet.¡±
¡°...¡±
Household registration booklet?
Why?
Feng Jia acted as if he did not see their expressions. He calmly blew on his tea. ¡°I need it in a few days, so I¡¯m here to take it.¡±
Need it in a few days? Was he going to theCivil Affairs Bureau?
Were they going to register their marriage? !
Mrs. Gu could not sit still. If they were to get married, wouldn¡¯t Gu Wan have no chance?
She asked him, ¡°Why do you need the household registration booklet?¡±
Feng Jia took a sip of tea, after moistening his throat, he said, ¡°In the past two months, rumors have been spreading about me and Chu Chu. Rumors about the change in engagement are widespread. I think it¡¯s better to act now. That would shut them up.¡±
Although his words were polite, it was obvious that he was protecting Gu Chu.
Implicitly, he was saying, ¡°Gu Chu and I have a good rtionship. If you don¡¯t believe me, we¡¯ll just get married..¡±
Mrs. Gu¡¯s expression was extremely ugly.
In the past two years, Gu Chu had told her that she wanted to break off the engagement. She even said that they had been dating for the past two years, but their rtionship was neither warm nor cold. It was just a contract. Why did they turn around and act like their rtionship was stronger than gold?
She had only confirmed that there was no true love between them this morning. Feng Jia¡¯s attitude now was like a p to her face.
She looked at Mr. Gu. He did not say anything. She looked at Gu Wan. Gu Wan lowered her head. She did not need to see her face to know that she must have been extremely disappointed.
She suppressed her emotions and wanted to raise the 10% share. But just as she opened her mouth, she said, ¡°Feng Jia, marriage is not a child¡¯s y...¡±
Feng Jia coughed lightly and interrupted, ¡°We¡¯ve already decided.¡±
¡°...¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s gaze was cold and clear.
¡°Those rumors are about how I feel about Gu Chu. It¡¯sughable. They¡¯re not me, so how would they know how I feel about Gu Chu? Therefore, in order to avoid future trouble, I¡¯d better make it clear that Gu Chu is priceless in my heart.¡±
Therefore, even the 10% shares could not shake his determination to marry her.
Mrs. Gu¡¯s breathing was a little unsteady. ¡°Then do your parents agree?¡±
Feng Jia curled his lips. ¡°I¡¯m an adult, I can make my own decisions.¡±
In the end, Mr. Gu went upstairs and took the household registration booklet.
As Gu Chu¡¯s father, he should have said something to the man who¡¯s marrying his daughter.
However, he couldn¡¯t say anything. He just passed the booklet to Feng Jia.
After Feng Jia took it, he didn¡¯t n to stay any longer. ¡°Gu Chu is alone at home. I¡¯m a little worried, so I¡¯ll go back to apany her.¡±
Mr. and Mrs. Gu were still in a daze, but Gu Wan reacted. She stood up and said, ¡°Mr. Feng, I¡¯ll send you off.¡±
Feng Jia did not refuse and walked out.
Gu Wan supported herself with her walking stick and followed him out of the house. Feng Jia said, ¡°Stop.¡±
Gu Wan did not stop. She looked at the man¡¯s back in a daze. Her mind kept reying what he had said in the living room just now. Every word he said revealed that he was defending Gu Chu.
She followed him all the way to his car. Suddenly, she said, ¡°Mr. Feng, how did Gu Chu get into a car ident?¡±
Feng Jia frowned and turned around to look at her quietly.
¡°I want to ask, was it her own carelessness, or was it the car¡¯s problem?¡±
Gu Wan continued, ¡°Actually, that car has been parked at home for quite some time. Maybe the parts are broken?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°I¡¯ll bring it to the mechanic.¡±
Gu Wan said slowly, ¡°Yes, she has been driving other cars recently. Last night, she also got out of another car, but the person driving the car was Mr. Lin. She was probably having dinner with Mr. Lin, and he drove the car away. That¡¯s why she drove this car today, right?¡±
Chapter 134 - Authoritative
Chapter 134: Authoritative
Mr. Lin?
Lin Yu?
Feng Jia¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Did Lin Yue back from the capital?
Gu Chu said she had something to do yesterday. Could it be that she was going to pick him up?
Gu Wan saw the change in his expression, she sighed with mixed emotions. ¡°Mr. Lin and Chu Chu are childhood friends. Of course, it¡¯s not a big deal to borrow a car. It¡¯s just a coincidence. If not, Chu Chu might not have gotten into a car ident.¡±
Feng Jia looked at her expressionlessly.
She was talking about the car on the surface, but in reality she was telling him that Gu Chu and Lin Yu had a close rtionship. They even metst night, and Lin Yu drove her home in Gu Chu¡¯s car.
The main point was Gu Chu and Lin Yu¡¯s rtionship.
The lights in the courtyard were bright, illuminating Feng Jia¡¯s frosty eye. ¡°So, why are you telling me this?¡±
Gu Wan bit her lip. ¡°I don¡¯t mean anything...¡±
¡°Since you don¡¯t mean anything, you don¡¯t have toe all the way to tell me this.¡± Feng Jia unlocked the car keys. The car lights shed, and his words were crisp and clear, ¡°I¡¯ve helped you once and you¡¯ve already thanked me. We¡¯re even, so you don¡¯t have to be so concerned about me.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s face turned pale.
Then, she immediately understood the meaning behind his words.
Feng Jia got into the car and drove away.
Don¡¯t be so concerned about me, which means don¡¯t be interested in me.
He imitated her roundabout way of speaking, but he rejected her without any leeway. Or rather, he warned her not to have any feelings for him.
A man who was always in a high position was authoritative and never showed his emotions.
Gu Wan¡¯s body trembled. In thiste autumn, her back was actually covered in ayer of cold sweat.
¡°Gu Chu,¡± she muttered in a low voice, ¡°You really don¡¯t deserve it!¡±
She stood in the same spot for a long time, so long that ayer of cold air had condensed on her body. Only then did she return home with her walking stick.
Inside, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were talking. Mr. Gu lowered his voice and said, ¡°Feng Jia came here for a reason. I don¡¯t think you need me to tell you more, right?¡±
Mrs. Gu sat on the sofa. Her whole body was tense, and her fingers were trembling slightly.
¡°He came here to express his stance. He wants Gu Chu, even if we promised him 10% of the shares.¡±
¡°He and Chu Chu¡¯s rtionship is not like you said. He saw that Gu Chu was wronged, so he came to seek justice.¡±
¡°Why did hee to get the household registration booklet? Of course, it was to get the marriage certificate! He made it very clearst time. It was you who never gave up, so he simply extinguished your hope!¡±
After being scolded by Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu suddenly looked up and sneered, ¡°At least I¡¯m doing something for my daughter. What about you? What did you do for your daughter?¡±
¡°What about me?¡± Mr. Gu retorted subconsciously, ¡°What do I owe Gu Wan?¡±
Thus, the two of them started to argue endlessly.
Gu Wan just stood outside the door and watched coldly. Seeing that the Gu family was in a mess because of her, she felt inexplicably happy.
Go ahead and argue. It was a pity that Gu Chu was not here, otherwise, it would be even more fun!
*
When Feng Jia returned home, it was already night time, and his body was covered in ayer of cold dew.
He unlocked the gate and entered the door. He saw Gu Chu eating noodles at the dining table. He asked while changing his shoes, ¡°You¡¯re awake? Does your head still hurt?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. After sleeping for a while, her body felt better. ¡°It¡¯s okay now. Where did you go?¡±
¡°To deal with your car.¡± Feng Jia poured himself a ss of water and then sat opposite her. ¡°The car is sent to the mechanic. They will do a full check.¡±
Gu Chu was focused on eating, but Feng Jia suddenly said, ¡°This car is not the one you drove this morning. I didn¡¯t see your car in your garage either. Where did you park your car?¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t have many cars. There were only two or three cars in total. One of them was bought a long time ago. After some time, she was tired of driving it.
The one she often drove was the one Feng Jia mentioned, the one that was nowhere to be seen. As for the other one, the one that got into the ident was the one with the rm system installed.
Gu Chu was stunned at first, but then she suddenly thought of something. She carefully swallowed and said, ¡°Might be in a mall.¡±
¡°Oh? Which mall?¡±
¡°Baihuo Mall.¡±
Feng Jia drank a few mouthfuls of water to moisten his throat. ¡°It¡¯s hard to move around without a car. I¡¯ll get someone to drive the car over for you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Feng Jia just looked at her. Although he was not instigated by Gu Wan, it did not mean that he would let Gu Chu off.
Chapter 135 - Feng Jia was Jealous
Chapter 135: Feng Jia was Jealous
Gu Chu knew that Feng Jia must have known, so she couldn¡¯t hide it. She swallowed and carefully said, ¡°Actually, Lin Yu took it. I went to the airport to pick him up. After he drove me home, he drove it away.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°Is that so?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡± Why did he sound so weird?
He nced at the painting that was lying quietly on the coffee table in the living room and asked, ¡°Did he help you find this painting?¡±
¡°Yes, I asked him to keep an eye out for it before, and then he found it.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°Oh.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°What do you mean by ¡®oh¡¯?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s tone was t. ¡°Last time you also asked for his help to find you awyer. Are you so used to asking for his help?¡±
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It was obvious that he was jealous.
How could Gu Chu not take it seriously? ¡°It¡¯s because he has stayed there before and has connections, so it¡¯s easy for him to help.¡±
She asked him to help investigate Gu Wan because it was more convenient to do so in the capital.
But she definitely could not tell him about this.
Feng Jia undid his cuff links and rolled up his sleeves. His tone was cold. ¡°What about the painting? You asked him to help you, so you didn¡¯t think I¡¯d know someone?¡±
Gu Chu replied honestly, ¡°Indeed.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s gaze suddenly turned hostile.
Gu Chu quickly exined, ¡°If you were to say that you know the richest person in the world, it would be more believable than saying you know some art collector.¡±
CEO Feng was a businessman after all.
Feng Jia reprimanded her lightly, ¡°Ingrate.¡±
To think that he had even made a special trip to avenge her.
The household registration booklet was still in his pocket, but he did not want to take it out now.
Gu Chu coughed lightly, and she changed the topic. ¡°Then you know how I feel about your rtionship with Gu Wan now, right? Lin Yu and I are just friends. Even if someone were to see us, there wouldn¡¯t be any rumors about us.¡±
¡°But Gu Wan is one of the candidates for your fianc¨¦e. Once the two of you get together, there will be news about the change in engagement and I will suffer the consequences.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°You¡¯re changing the topic.¡±
Gu Chu blinked.
She felt that something was wrong again. ¡°You went to my house? Why did you go to my house?¡±
¡°Go to bed.¡± Feng Jia picked up the ss of water, got up, and went straight to the kitchen.
Gu Chu chased after him. ¡°I slept for the whole afternoon, and I¡¯ve had enough sleep. You haven¡¯t answered my question yet. Feng Jia, what did you go to my house for? You didn¡¯t really hit my mother, did you?¡±
Feng Jia did not listen to her. He turned on the tap and washed the cup. ¡°I did.¡±
It was a metaphorical p on the face.
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
She quickly went behind him and hugged him tightly. ¡°Although I¡¯m angry that she¡¯s biased towards Gu Wan, how could you really hit her?¡±
Feng Jia tilted his head. ¡°Can¡¯t I avenge you?¡±
Alright, but that wasn¡¯t the way. ¡°But it depends on how you do it.¡±
After all, she was her biological mother.
The vixen¡¯s arm was around Feng Jia¡¯s neck. He frowned, then turned around and ced her on the kitchen counter.
The house had an open floor n. The kitchen counter formed an ind shape. The entire marble countertop was clean.
When Gu Chu woke up, she took a shower and only wore a silk nightdress and a thin jacket. When her butt hit the countertop, she cried out seductively.
She couldn¡¯t help but hook her legs around Feng Jia¡¯s waist. Her hands were still around his neck, and her eyes were seductive.
Feng Jia recalled the moment when he first entered the Gu family and saw the three of them talking andughing together. They were not worried about her at all.
His gaze fell on the other half of Gu Chu¡¯s face. His housekeeper must have applied medicine on her face. It didn¡¯t look swollen anymore, but the red marks on her porcin-white skin were clearly seen.
His hand was still wet, and the water dripped down her chin, slid across her neck, and flowed into her chest. Gu Chu muttered, ¡°The water got in.¡±
Feng Jia pressed his thumb against her mouth. ¡°Behave yourself.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She really hadn¡¯t thought about it in that way. It was just a thought, but after his reaction, it didn¡¯t seem like it was out of the question.
She said, ¡°I have a better conscience than you. How about I repay you with my body?¡±
Feng Jia lifted her straps and dropped them down. ¡°Right here?¡±
That wouldn¡¯t do! How could she look at the kitchen in the future?
Her legs hooked around his waist again. ¡°How about we go back to the room?¡±
Feng Jia shook his head. ¡°Right here.¡±
Chapter 136 - Only Once?
Chapter 136: Only Once?
¡°If you dirty the ce and your housekeeper sees it tomorrow... Mmm..¡±
Before she could finish her sentence, he sealed her mouth with a kiss and forcefully pressed down on the back of her head.
After such a long period of practice, his kissing skills became better. He hooked her tongue and swept it across every part of her mouth. Gu Chu grunted and he pulled away. Then his kisses went lower.
Gu Chu was cold and he was warm, so she instinctively wanted to get close to him.
However, he pressed down on her instead.
He pulled down her shoulder straps. She did not wear a bra after showering, which made it convenient for him.
Gu Chu¡¯s toes were taut. As he licked and bit, his hickeys and fingerprints were all over her snow-white skin.
She grumbled, ¡°Be gentler.¡±
Feng Jia wasn¡¯t listening to her. After taking off her underwear, he stuffed it directly into the pocket of his windbreaker.
Gu Chu was in a daze. Hearing the sound of his zipper, she became slightly more sober. ¡°You¡¯re not wearing a condom, and there aren¡¯t any here. Why don¡¯t we go back to your room?¡±
Feng Jia had somewhat forgotten about it, but she was in a daze in his arms. He really couldn¡¯t bear to let go of her. His eyes were dark, and the desire to be immersed in pleasure was too strong. He suddenly bent her legs and ced them on the table, then, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Gu Chu saw his actions and cried out in surprise, ¡°Feng Jia! ! !¡±
She wanted to run, but he grabbed her ankles tightly.
She panicked, and then felt a rush of pleasure. She couldn¡¯t help but hold his head, as if she didn¡¯t want him to leave.
However, she said, ¡°Feng Jia, are you... are you crazy?¡±
He didn¡¯t stop moving. Her legs went weak, and her whole body began to tremble.
For a moment, she felt as if she had ascended to heaven.
He raised his head, and his thin lips glowed. His eyes were lustful. ¡°Does it not feel good?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She couldn¡¯t argue with him.
He reached out and carried her back to the room.
She was in his embrace, listening to his heartbeat. At this moment, her heartbeat was even faster than his!
The temperature in the room was just right, so she did not have to worry about catching a cold. He first took off his clothes, then tore and tossed her clothes to the side. He opened the first drawer of the bedside table.
He took out something wrapped in aluminum paper, tore it open, and put it on.
Gu Chu had not yet recovered from the pleasure. He straightened her body and lowered his head to kiss her.
She frowned and wanted to dodge, but he kissed her deeply.
Then she fell into a sea of lust again. Wave after wave, like a ship drifting on the surface of the sea, the waves crashed into each other.
Finally, under him, she groaned and felt like she was torn into pieces.
Finally, he let go of her. Gu Chu watched as he skillfully took off the condom, tied a knot, and threw it into the trash can.
She asked in a daze, ¡°Just once?¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the nket and attempted to hide.
F * ck!
What did she just say?
She was the one who¡¯s insatiable now? !
Although she said it softly, he still heard it. He narrowed his eyes and pulled her nket away, revealing her shy face. ¡°I thought I was being considerate since you¡¯re not in a good mood today, but do you dislike my gentleness?¡±
Gu Chu wanted to cry but had no tears. She silently bit the corner of the nket. Could she take back what she just said?
Actually, she was in a bad mood, so she just wanted to release her anger.
And doing this consumed the most energy.
She pretended like it didn¡¯t happen. She said helplessly, ¡°No, go take a shower. I¡¯ll take a showerter.¡±
¡°We can save water if we shower together.¡± He pulled her up, opened the drawer, and took out two condoms!
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t be more embarrassed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take a shower?¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°Aren¡¯t you unsatisfied? I¡¯ll satisfy you somewhere else.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
He satisfied her until midnight.
Feng Jia dried her fair and tender skin and put her on the bed. Gu Chu remembered that she hadn¡¯t done her skincare routine and struggled to get up. At least she had to apply a facial mask.
Feng Jia found it difficult to understand the routine of a beautiful woman like her. He went downstairs to tidy up the kitchen, so that she would not be too ashamed to face anyone the next day.
After Gu Chu finished applying the facial mask, she thought of something and ran to open the drawer.
There were only condoms in this drawer
In the past, one purchase would be enough for two to three months. Recently, she had been living here a lot, so they used it up quickly. There were not many left for this month.
If he¡¯s in a good mood, it¡¯s probably only enough for one session.
Chapter 137 - Another Small Red Flower
Chapter 137: Another Small Red Flower
Gu Chu closed the drawer, got into bed, and picked up her phone. She wanted to replenish the materials, but when she remembered that express delivery would take two days and it seemed like they couldn¡¯t afford not to do it for two days...
So she thought about it and texted Lin Yin on Wechat, ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch together tomorrow. After lunch, let¡¯s go shopping.¡±
Lin Yin agreed without thinking.
However, she regretted it the next day after lunch.
¡°If I¡¯m guilty, let thew punish me instead of letting a young girl like me apany you to buy this kind of thing!¡± Lin Yin¡¯s tone was full of resentment. She would never have thought that the shopping that Gu Chu meant was actually to buy condoms?
Gu Chu said righteously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? We¡¯re buying things legally. What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about?¡±
Lin Yin chuckled. ¡°Then don¡¯t put it in my shopping cart!¡±
They each pushed a shopping cart. Gu Chu put the boxes of condoms in her shopping cart, of course she could act innocent.
Lin Yin was speechless. She scolded, ¡°Why did you buy so many? Don¡¯t the two of you have anything else to do in bed besides that?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± Gu Chu saw a new product and picked it up curiously. ¡°Besides the bed, there¡¯s also the bathroom, sofa, office, and kitchen.¡±
Lin Yin widened her eyes and scolded, ¡°Look at you. You even have to buy condoms!¡±
¡°Then can you imagine CEO Fenging to the supermarket to buy these things? Can you imagine him ordering these things on the Inte?¡±
Lin Yin tried to imagine it, but when she thought of Feng Jia¡¯s face, she immediately stopped. ¡°Fine.¡±
She couldn¡¯t imagine it.
The description on the box stated that they were ultra thin. Gu Chu thought for a moment, then took one and threw it into Lin Yin¡¯s shopping cart.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go to the bedding section. It¡¯s almost winter, so we need to buy a few sets of pure cotton bedsheets.¡±
Lin Yinpletely lost her temper. She pushed the shopping cart and followed her. ¡°The painting that you asked my brother to look for, does your mother like it?¡±
Gu Chu paused, then shrugged indifferently. ¡°I didn¡¯t give it to her. I asked Feng Jia to help me donate it to the museum.¡±
Lin Yin was stunned. ¡°Donate it? The painting is very expensive, right? I heard from my brother that you transferred the payment through several bank ounts. You don¡¯t have much money left, right?¡±
Gu Chu looked at Lin Yin with some resentment. Not only that, she was basically broke.
She sighed and briefly told her about the events that happened in thest two days.
From the moment her father sent her a text message, to the discovery of Gu Wan and Shen Shan¡¯s rtionship, to the showdown with her mother which led to the p and the car ident. She also told her about going to the bar.
Lin Yin was furious. ¡°That b * tch! We only discovered that she was kept as a mistress, and then got involved with Shen Shan, who knows how many other things that we didn¡¯t dig up, but she still dares to take Feng Jia from you. Is she worthy?¡±
Gu Chu curled her lips. ¡°Maybe she¡¯s confident.¡±
Lin Yin had known Gu Chu for so many years, but she had never seen her being bullied like this.
She gritted her teeth. She almost turned from a virtuous dancer to a murderous devil. She gritted her teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t let me see her again. Otherwise, I¡¯ll teach her a lesson.¡±
¡°Forget it. I feel annoyed whenever I hear her name!¡± Gu Chu did not see the bed sheets she liked and went to pay the bill.
Coincidentally, it was the weekend, and there were quite a lot of people in the mall. Although all twelve checkout counters were open, they still waited for quite a while before it was their turn.
Gu Chu¡¯s shopping cart only had some snacks, while Lin Yin¡¯s shopping cart had a wide variety of things. The most eye-catching ones were the few big boxes of condoms.
Even the cashier could not help but nce at Lin Yin a few times. However, Ms. Lin was not in a good mood at the moment, so she was expressionless and was giving out bad energy. The cashier quicklypleted the payment.
After leaving the mall, she knew that Lin Yin was still angry on her behalf. She quickly took out a box of candy that she liked from her shopping bag and gave it to her. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. Here, eat this.¡±
Lin Yin nced into her bag and saw a small red flower. She asked in surprise, ¡°Where did thise from?¡±
They did not go shopping for flowers either.
Gu Chu nced at it and did not know how the flower came about. She said smugly, ¡°Maybe the cashier gave it to me because she thought I was pretty?¡±
Chapter 138 - Gu Chu Said She was Afraid
Chapter 138: Gu Chu Said She was Afraid
Lin Yin pinched the small red flower and looked at it carefully. Although she didn¡¯t sense anything odd, she said carefully, ¡°Did you read the thread that I forwarded to you that day?¡±
¡°What thread?¡±
¡°I forwarded it to you that night when I asked if you wereing back.¡±
Gu Chu remembered, but she didn¡¯t have time to read it. ¡°I didn¡¯t open it. What is it?¡±
Lin Yin lowered her voice and said, ¡°It¡¯s about a serial killer who hasn¡¯t been caught yet. Theizens named him the Little Red Flower Killer!¡±
¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t open it.¡± Although Gu Chu was brave, she was a bit scared of these things. On the contrary, Lin Yin looked timid, but she was quite interested in these things.
¡°This isn¡¯t a story. It happened in real life!¡± Lin Yin said seriously.
However, Gu Chu did not believe her. ¡°With the current technology, how could we not catch a serial killer?¡±
¡°This serial killermitted the crime 20 years ago. At that time, the technology was not advanced. Moreover, he was good at it so he never got caught.¡±
Lin Yin picked up the red flower again and said mysteriously, ¡°This killer would give the victim three small red flowers beforemitting the crime. They looked simr to this flower, so they called him the Little Red Flower Killer.¡±
Gu Chu was a little scared by her words. She snatched the red flower and threw it into the trash can. She pretended to be very rxed and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when I get the other two.¡±
When she returned to Jinyuan Residences, she found that Feng Jia was not there, so she sent a Wechat message to ask where he was.
After a while, he answered her, ¡°I¡¯m meeting a client.¡±
Gu Chu sighed. The CEO was really busy.
She put away the condoms and went to the study to take care of some work. Then, she thought of the so-called ¡°Little Red Flower Killer¡± and searched for it.
Although the case was more than twenty years old, people were still talking about it. Just as she was engrossed in reading them, she was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
She was so scared that all the hair on her body stood up. She turned around abruptly and realized it was the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said apologetically, ¡°Did I scare you? I knocked on the door but no one answered. I thought no one was there. I came in to clean the room and saw you, so I wanted to ask you what you¡¯d like to eat tonight? Also, will Mr. Feng be back for dinner tonight?¡±
Gu Chu quickly closed the post and said, ¡°Anything is fine. You¡¯re a good cook. We¡¯ll eat whatever you cook.¡±
She was still restless by the time she went to bed. She glued herself to Feng Jia.
He felt that something was wrong and grabbed her shoulder and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Gu Chu whispered, ¡°I just saw a post about a homicidal maniac. I¡¯m a little scared.¡±
Feng Jia frowned. ¡°If you¡¯re scared, why did your read it?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just curious,¡± Gu Chu replied.
Feng Jia shook his head silently and let her hug him.
Perhaps because of that, Gu Chu had nightmares at night.
She dreamed of the woman again.
The woman she had dreamed of when she was kidnapped in Yangcheng City and when she was sleeping in the beauty salon.
She looked at her with a gentle expression and called her name, ¡°ChuChu, Chu Chu, listen, we will definitelye back to pick you up.¡±
Gu Chu felt that she was being hugged by the woman, but at such a close distance, she still couldn¡¯t see her face clearly.
The next morning, she didn¡¯t look very well. She was putting on makeup while yawning. Feng Jia thought that she was scared by the posts online, he frowned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t read about those things next time. After breakfast, I¡¯ll send you to the office.¡±
To the office?
Gu Chu turned and looked at him pitifully. ¡°I¡¯m still scared. Why don¡¯t you bring me to your office? I¡¯ll be your secretary?¡±
Feng Jia put on a watch, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a meeting?¡±
Gu Chu answered enthusiastically, ¡°It¡¯s just a regr meeting. It¡¯s not very important. I can bring myputer to work at your ce.¡±
Feng Jia looked at her and nodded.
Gu Chu continued to put on her makeup. Of course, it was not because she was afraid. It was Monday, so her father would definitely be there and she did not want to face him for the time being.
Although he cared about her more than her mother, it was obvious that he still cared more about Gu Wan.
Gu Chu was quite stubborn when it came to rtionships. If she was not the most important person in the person¡¯s heart, she would rather not have the rtionship at all.
Chapter 139 - Feng Jia’s Actions
Chapter 139: Feng Jia¡¯s Actions
Of course, she could not just cut ties with her parents like that, so she was avoiding them for now.
After breakfast, the two of them drove to the Feng Corporation.
Once they arrived at thepany, his secretary said that the manager of a certainpany was waiting for him in the reception room.
Gu Chu did not stop him. She brought herputer to the lounge to work.
Including today, she had not gone to thepany for three days. The secretary even video called her and asked if something had happened to her.
She made up some nonsense and said that she had caught a cold. However, she still asked if her father had looked for her this morning.
The secretary replied, ¡°I think so. I saw the chairman pass by the Commerce Department this morning. I think he looked at your office but did not see you, so he left after that.¡±
Gu Chu sighed sadly. Alright.
¡°The Lin Corporation sent a document saying that there are nearly twenty families near the base. Their ideology is more traditional, and they think that it will destroy their ancestral businesses. Therefore, they strongly oppose it. I extracted a few more important pieces of information and sent it to your email.¡±
¡°Let me see.¡± Gu Chu opened the email and said to her, ¡°Rearrange my work for the week. Those that can be pushed back, push back. Give me another three to four days. I have to go to the capital to deal with this matter.¡±
The secretary was shocked. ¡°You have to go too?¡±
¡°Gu Corporation has at least 40% shares of this project. How can we leave everything to the Lin Corporation?¡± Gu Chu picked up a ss, but found that there was no water in the ss.
The secretary nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu got up and went outside to pour some water. Feng Jia was not in the office, but she did not mind. After pouring some water, her eyes inadvertently nced over the desk. Suddenly, she saw the words ¡°Hurricane¡± written on the top of the document.
Gu Chu frowned and walked over. She picked it up and took a look. It was an investment proposal by Hurricane Manufacture.
Hurricane Manufacture was the supplier of the hot spring machines for the Gu Corporation.
Since they broke the contract so suddenly, they went to Shengyan.
What a coincidence, they actually had a partnership with the Feng Corporation?
Gu Chu knew that this was the Feng Corporation¡¯s document. Although she was Feng Jia¡¯s fianc¨¦e, she shouldn¡¯t open the document without permission. But she had a strange feeling in her heart that forced her to open the document.
It was the Feng Corporation¡¯s investment in Hurricane Manufacture. In fact, there was nothing special about it. If the Feng Corporation thought that they had potential, they would invest in them.
When she flipped to thest page and saw the date of the signature, she suddenly frowned.
Feng Jia walked out of the meeting room. The secretary followed behind him and said, ¡°Manager Xu from Hurricane Manufacture asked if you are free to have a meal. You don¡¯t have an appointment this afternoon. Would you like to go?¡±
Feng Jia directly rejected, ¡°No.¡±
The secretary said, ¡°Okay.¡±
The Feng Corporation didn¡¯t invest much in them. Under normal circumstances, such a document wouldn¡¯t even be ced in front of Feng Jia. As for lunch appointments, she could make the decision to reject it.
But Feng Jia seemed to be quite interested in Hurricane Manufacture. He had gone personally to talk to the manager, which was why she asked.
Feng Jia suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice, ¡°Is Hurricane¡¯s document on my desk?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Feng Jia pursed his lips and sped to the office. When he pushed the door open, she saw Gu Chu standing by the desk with a document in her hand, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.
Gu Chu waited for him for a long time, then mmed the document on the desk. ¡°CEO Feng, please exin.¡±
The secretary tactfully left and closed the door.
Gu Chu ced thest page under his eyes. ¡°Feng Corporation invested in Hurricane Manufacture. The contract was signed on the day he broke the contract with Gu Corporation. Please don¡¯t tell me this is just a coincidence?¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything. He didn¡¯t expect her to find out.
Gu Chu sneered. ¡°Nothing to say? You¡¯re the one who asked them to break the contract with Gu Corporation, aren¡¯t you?¡±
Thinking of the past few days, she had been busy with this matter. Her voice became heavier, ¡°Why did you do this?¡±
Gu Chu thought quickly and she understood the reason, ¡°Is it because you don¡¯t want me to go to the capital? Is that why you used this method to keep me here?¡±
After she realized the truth, she couldn¡¯t help butugh in anger, ¡°Feng Jia, you crossed the line.¡±
She could understand his jealousy. She could also treat it as flirting. However, his actions had hindered her work and was clearly male chauvinism!
Chapter 140 - They Started Arguing
Chapter 140: They Started Arguing
Gu Chu remembered that on the day they broke the contract, the bastard had even asked his secretary to bring her lunch?
Now that she thought about it, it felt like he was giving her a sweet after pping her.
CEO Feng was indeed CEO Feng. Even if he was found out, he still didn¡¯t feel guilty.
His tone was calm. ¡°He casually gave you a big project. When you encounter a problem, your first reaction is to look for him. I¡¯m not that magnanimous. I can¡¯t just let you go alone with him.¡±
¡°Since you¡¯re not willing to hand this job over to others, I used my own methods to keep you here. I won¡¯t let you go out with him.¡±
What kind of f * cking logic was that?
He even said it with such confidence!
Gu Chu¡¯s heart started to burn with anger. ¡°What do you mean by going out alone with him? We¡¯re going with a team. Besides, we¡¯re not going on vacation, we¡¯re going to work. What are you thinking about?¡±
This was outrageous!
Gu Chu threw the document at him. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for more than ten years before we got together. If there really is something going on, do you think I¡¯d still be here with you?¡±
The document hit Feng Jia¡¯s chest and fell to the ground. He did not pick it up.
Gu Chu scolded again, ¡°I¡¯ve yed with Lu Shen, Meng Lang, and Wang Xiao, who are friends of the opposite sex. You¡¯re so controlling, so I can¡¯t see them as well?¡±
¡°That¡¯s not the same thing.¡±
¡°How is it not the same?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s voice was cold. ¡°They¡¯re just friends with you, but Lin Yu has improper thoughts about you.¡±
Gu Chu wanted to hit him. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡±
¡°How many times do I have to tell you? He and I are just friends. At most, we¡¯re brother and sister. When have you ever seen us do anything inappropriate?¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°You treat him as a normal friend. He might not treat you as his sister.¡±
Gu Chu was really angry.
What a bastard!
He had created such a big problem for Gu Corporation because of jealousy. He did not even consider what kind of crisis they would fall into if they did not find a supplier.
Forget it, if they really could not find a solution, they could just lower their heads and beg Meiyang to renew the contract. At worst, they couldpromise and be ridiculed by others.
However, what Gu Chu was most angry about was Feng Jia¡¯s unreasonable attitude.
So, she did not even have the right to have a friend?
Gu Chu could notmunicate with him anymore. The trip to the capital was decided before they quarreled. Now she wanted to go even more to anger him!
¡°Let me tell you then. This time, I¡¯m going to the capital with him. If you don¡¯t like it, feel free toe and cause trouble.¡±
She turned around and returned to the lounge. She swept all her belongings into her bag and was ready to leave.
Feng Jia followed her in. He grabbed her arm and wanted to hold her back. Gu Chu struggled and elbowed him.
He blocked and hugged her and lowered his voice. ¡°If you care so much about my rtionship with Gu Wan, you should know how much I care about your rtionship with Lin Yu.¡±
¡°They are notparable!¡±
Gu Chu was a little annoyed. ¡°Gu Wan is in the rumors. You can ask Meng Lang and the others, do they think there¡¯s something going on between me and Lin Yu? Stop changing the topic. Have I ever ruined your work?¡±
Feng Jia lowered his eyes. ¡°Men are better at judging other men.¡±
Gu Chu really did not like to be controlled. She gritted her teeth and pushed him away. ¡°Get out of the way!¡±
Feng Jia loosened his grip, and she was free.
She sneered. ¡°Indeed. There¡¯s a difference in the way we think. Perhaps your brain is not quite the same as mine.¡±
Since he didn¡¯t realize his mistake, then it would be futile for them to continue arguing.
She rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Think about it.¡±
With that, she grabbed her bag and left.
Feng Jia¡¯s brows were tightly knitted.
Gu Chu left the Feng Corporation. Before she could think of where to go, she received a call from her secretary. ¡°Director, there¡¯s a document that needs your signature. Tell me your current address and I¡¯ll send it over in a sh.¡±
¡°No need. I¡¯ll go to thepany now.¡± After Gu Chu hung up, she went straight to the Gu Corporation.
Before she entered the Commerce Department, she bumped into her father, who she had been trying to avoid all this time.
She couldn¡¯t hide forever.
Chapter 141 - Conversation with Mr. Gu
Chapter 141: Conversation with Mr. Gu
Mr. Gu walked over from the corridor. Initially, Gu Chu pretended not to see him, but he called out, ¡°Gu Chu.¡±
Gu Chu stopped. When she saw that he was getting closer, she called out softly, ¡°Dad.¡±
¡°I went to the Commerce Department a few times this morning, but I didn¡¯t see you. I thought you weren¡¯ting to work today.¡± Mr. Gu looked at her, ¡°Are you still angry with your mother? I apologize on behalf of your mother. She shouldn¡¯t have hit you.¡±
He¡¯s apologizing again.
Gu Chu became a little gloomy. ¡°You apologize for Gu Wan before this, and now for mom. Aren¡¯t you tired of it? I do.¡±
There were a lot of people walking in the corridor. Gu Chu walked to an empty corner. ¡°If you want me to forgive them, then say no more. After all, you know that I am not the kind to be bullied.¡±
Mr. Gu sighed. ¡°But we¡¯re still a family. We have to tolerate each other.¡±
¡°But I feel that ever since Gu Wan came back, I don¡¯t feel like I¡¯m part of the family anymore.¡± The corners of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°In the past, you¡¯d send me to the hospital even if it¡¯s just a fever. Mom would apany me and cook porridge for me. But now, I¡¯ve been in a car ident, and you guys didn¡¯t even call.¡±
Mr. Gu paused. They had been too busy arguing for the past two days. He said awkwardly, ¡°Isn¡¯t Feng Jia by your side? With him taking care of you, we are not worried.¡±
¡°You guys are really strange. On one hand, you want to take Feng Jia away from me and give him to Gu Wan. On the other hand, you think Feng Jia will take good care of me?¡±
There were too many instances when they behaved contradictorily.
¡°Dad, I really don¡¯t understand. How did you guys be so stupid? Or is it that your love can only be given to one person?¡±
Gu Chu knew many who were not a single child. For example, Lin Yin¡¯s family. She had Lin Yu as her elder brother. Even if her parents weren¡¯t fair, they wouldn¡¯t be that unreasonable.
Gu Chu looked at Mr. Gu, and things became clearer. ¡°Or is it that you¡¯ve always loved Gu Wan, and only transferred all your love to me when she wasn¡¯t around?¡±
This thought shed across her mind, and she gritted her teeth. ¡°Since you only like Gu Wan, then why did you give birth to me in the first ce? Or do you want a son for your second child?¡±
¡°Gu Wan and I are four years apart. Four years is enough time for you to consider whether you want a second child or not. Even if you identally had me, you could still check the sex of the fetus. So if you didn¡¯t want me, it wasn¡¯t hard to abort me in the early stages of pregnancy, right?¡±
This made her feel puzzled. If they only liked Gu Wan, why did they want a second child? If they wanted a son, why didn¡¯t they abort her in the first ce?
Although they weren¡¯t allowed to check the sex of the fetus, with his status, it should be quite easy to do it.
Mr. Gu didn¡¯t seem to know how to answer her question, so he scolded her, ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more ridiculous.¡±
¡°You don¡¯t believe that the eight-year-old Gu Wan would viciously throw me away, but you can push the me of Gu Wan going missing onto the four-year-old me. That¡¯s also quite ridiculous.¡± Gu Chu went around him and went straight into the office.
Mr. Gu waited until she was about to walk in before saying, ¡°Chu Chu, in the future, when you and Feng Jia get married, we will also give away 10% of the shares as your dowry. We will treat you and Gu Wan equally.¡±
Gu Chu stopped in her tracks and did not turn back. She pushed the door open and entered the Department of Commerce.
The secretary came forward with a document. ¡°Director.¡±
Gu Chu took the document and looked at it. She instructed, ¡°Book a flight ticket for me. We will go to the capital today. After you booked it, send me the flight information. Then, go home and pack your luggage. We will meet at the airport an hour before take off.¡±
The secretary was stunned. ¡°Are we leaving now? Do we need to inform someone from the Lin Corporation?¡±
¡°There¡¯s no need. They have arranged their own. We¡¯ll go separately.¡± Gu Chu took a pen and signed her name on a contract.
The schedule was quickly settled. Gu Chu returned to Jinyuan Residences to pack her things.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the two met at the airport. After passing through the security checkpoint, they waited for their flight at the exclusive VIP lounge.
Chapter 142 - Getting Information
Chapter 142: Getting Information
The secretary poured two sses of water and handed one to Gu Chu. ¡°Director, why do we have to go to the capital so soon?¡±
Of course, Gu Chu was not just doing this to annoy Feng Jia.
¡°I read your email. Among the twenty families that opposed the construction, the one closest to the base is still a kilometer away, but they insist that the construction will destroy their business? They think it¡¯s taboo?¡±
¡°Yeah, what era is this? Why are they still so superstitious?¡± The secretary was annoyed.
She thought that the twenty families were just stirring up trouble for no reason and wanted to take the opportunity to extort money!
Gu Chu also thought that it was strange, so she made this impromptu trip. ¡°Let¡¯s go and pay them a surprise visit. If it¡¯s just money, then it¡¯s not a big problem. I¡¯m afraid that apetitor has bribed them toe and cause trouble.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t sleep wellst night, so she caught up on sleep as soon as she got on the ne.
It took more than three hours to fly from Haicheng City to the capital. When theynded, the sky was getting dark.
Gu Chu deactivated the flight mode on her phone, and as expected, she saw a message from Feng Jia. He had already got off work. When he returned to Jinyuan Residences, he didn¡¯t see her. He thought that she was angry and refused toe back.
Gu Chu turned around and took a photo of the airport and sent it to him with a smiley face emoji.
Although she didn¡¯t do this to anger him, since she was already here, she might as well do it.
If the bastard hadn¡¯t said such harsh words, she wouldn¡¯t have been so angry.
She didn¡¯t wait for Feng Jia¡¯s reply and walked out of the airport. They took a taxi to the hotel to eat and rest.
On the other hand, Feng Jia¡¯s eyes darkened when he saw the photo.
After looking at it for a while, he put down his phone and looked at the empty room. He didn¡¯t expect it to be empty again after only a few days.
He felt a rush of frustration. He went into the master bedroom, took off his coat, stared expressionlessly at the mirror.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t pack her makeup tools. They were all spread out on the table, looking a little messy.
Feng Jia was a germaphobe. At first, he found it hard to tolerate her sloppy behavior, but now he was used to it. He even helped her put away the stuff and threw the used cotton into the bin.
He nced at the drawer of the bedside cab that was not closed properly. He pushed it, but it did not close. He opened it to take a look.
He saw a drawer full of condoms.
Feng Jia was stunned at first, then he picked up the box of ultra-thin condoms at the top. She probably had not tried it before and wanted to try it. That was why she ced it at the top.
After a few seconds of silence, he put it back and closed the drawer expressionlessly.
The next morning, Gu Chu brought her secretary and went around the site. Then, they found a Ramen restaurant, which was a local specialty. As someone who liked noodles, she wanted to try it.
Gu Chu picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them to the secretary. ¡°Try it.¡±
¡°Thank you, director.¡± The secretary smelled the fragrance of the noodles and almost drooled. ¡°It smells so good.¡±
¡°It tastes better when you eat it,¡± the owner replied.
Gu Chuughed and asked, ¡°What are they building over there?¡±
¡°You don¡¯t look like locals. That¡¯s the construction site of Sky Garden. It¡¯s very famous.¡± There were no other customers in the shop, so she simply stood by their table.
¡°Yes, we¡¯re here for a vacation,¡± Gu Chu replied naturally.
The owner was very proud. ¡°No wonder you don¡¯t know. When this is built in the future, it will be very good to the economy. The surrounding area will also need to be renovated. You guys cane back in two years to see it. There will definitely be a huge change.¡±
Gu Chu agreed, ¡°Before the construction ispleted, will it affect the businesses nearby? We are staying in a nearby hotel, that¡¯s why we came here to eat.¡±
Thedy boss waved her hand. ¡°Nah, take a long-term view. It will be difficult for a year or two, but the benefits willst for a lifetime. Moreover, there will bepensation, so we won¡¯t lose much.¡±
Gu Chu did not continue with the pleasantries. Since there were customersing, she went over to entertain them.
Gu Chu nced over and looked at the secretary. ¡°Can you tell?¡±
¡°Yes, yes.¡± The secretary had been listening the whole time and understood. ¡°This restaurant belongs to one of the twenty families. They don¡¯t seem to have a problem at all.¡±
Chapter 143
Chapter 143: Gu Chu¡¯s Wechat Moments
She seemed to be looking forward to it.
The secretary pursed her lips. ¡°Then why did they jointly file aint?¡±
¡°So there must be something fishy going on here.¡± Gu Chu was deep in thought. ¡°Logically speaking, if there¡¯s a small-scale objection to something, there must be a leader. The leader is the key.¡±
The secretary asked, ¡°Then can we ask her?¡±
¡°No rush. If we continue asking, she¡¯ll get suspicious.¡± As Gu Chu said this, she took out her phone and said to her, ¡°Don¡¯t eat yet. Let¡¯s take a photo first.¡±
The secretary looked at the two bowls of half-eaten ramen and was a little confused. ¡°What¡¯s there to take a photo of?¡±
Gu Chu had something in mind.
She curved her lips. ¡°Move your hand closer.¡±
The secretary was even more confused. ¡°Huh?¡±
Gu Chu urged, ¡°Move your hand closer. Act natural, like you¡¯re eating.¡±
The secretary did as she said, but she still did not understand what she meant. ¡°Director, what are you doing?¡±
Gu Chu looked at the secretary¡¯s hand in the photo and clicked her tongue. She was not very satisfied. ¡°Why is your wrist so thin? It doesn¡¯t look like a man¡¯s hand.¡±
The secretary was speechless. ¡°It would be a problem if my wrist were as thick as a man¡¯s.¡±
Gu Chu looked at it again, but she was not very satisfied. She turned on the editing software and started to edit the photo. After a while, she added a few photos of the scenery and posted them on her Wechat moments. She even turned on the GPS.
What was she trying to do?
Of course, she was trying to show it to someone.
Since he was jealous, she might as well go all the way!
Gu Chu wasn¡¯t a kind person. Even though she was far away in the capital, she wanted to make her man in Haicheng City ufortable!
However, she forgot about one thing. When they quarreledst time, she blocked Feng Jia out of anger and forgot about this, so Feng Jia couldn¡¯t see her Wechat moments at all.
At this moment, Feng Jia, who was sitting in the office of the Feng Corporation building, also realized that he could not see Gu Chu¡¯s moments.
He felt ufortable.
The secretary, who had been by him for many years, had to be careful when she spoke. When she sent the documents over, she did not dare to speak loudly. ¡°This was sent by Wang Yu from Jiangbei. They want to increase the budget of the project.¡±
Feng Jia knew what it was after a few nces. After closing it, he threw it back onto the table. ¡°They have already increased the budget once, how much more do they need?¡±
The secretary silently prayed for Manager Wang.
It was him again.
Last time, it was a decimal point mistake. It just so happened that CEO Feng and Gu Chu were fighting. It happened again.
The secretary put away the documents and prepared to report on the next task. However, Feng Jia suddenly asked, ¡°Can you see Gu Chu¡¯s moments?¡±
Ah? The secretary subconsciously took out her phone. ¡°I think so. Let me take a look first.¡±
Feng Jia nodded
She tapped on Gu Chu¡¯s moments, and then tentatively handed the phone to him.
Feng Jia took the phone casually.
The secretary: ¡°!¡±
As expected, Gu Chu had blocked CEO Feng!
Feng Jia sat there wearing a three-piece suit, a tie clip, and a cuff. On his middle finger, he was still wearing his and Gu Chu¡¯s engagement ring. It was made of tinum, and there were no other patterns. It was simple and exquisite.
He looked no different from usual.
He didn¡¯t look like he had been blocked by his girlfriend.
He clicked on the nine photos that Gu Chu had posted an hour ago.
The rest was not important. The important one was the fifth photo in the center, where she took a photo of two bowls of ramen.
This photo was so ordinary that it should not have appeared on her Wechat moments, but it did.
Of course, the ramen wasn¡¯t the main point. It was the hand that was in the photo.
Feng Jia zoomed in on the photo. Every time he looked at it, the look in his eyes became colder.
The secretary went over to take a look and also realized that it was a man¡¯s hand. Whose hand could it be? It couldn¡¯t be...CEO Lin, right?
The next second, Feng Jia returned the phone to her. A sharp glint shed across the screen. ¡°Reply to Wang Yu. If he wants any additional budget,e and tell me personally.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± He had toe to be scolded directly?
The secretary sighed in her heart. Since he missed Miss Gu so much, why didn¡¯t he give her a call?
Oh, she understood why. It seemed like they were in a Cold War.
Chapter 144 - Lu Shen’s Advice
Chapter 144: Lu Shen¡¯s Advice
After seeing Gu Chu¡¯s post, the pressure on Feng Jia¡¯s body increased. Lu Shen passed by the Feng Corporation and asked Feng Jia If he was in thepany, then came straight up.
He nned to talk to him about traveling around the world.
Feng Jia just happened to pick up a call and signaled Lu Shen to wait for him.
Lu Shen then left the office and went to the pantry to pour himself a cup of tea. His secretary did not want him to do it himself, so she came over to help.
Lu Shen had always been a gentleman. He waved his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡±
The secretary thought that since Lu Shen was CEO Feng¡¯s close friend and Gu Chu¡¯s cousin, he was the best person to help the couple.
After the two men finished talking about work, Feng Jia stood up and walked to the small wine cab. He took out a bottle of wine and looked at Lu Shen.
Lu Shen raised the teacup in his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll just have some tea. I drove here.¡±
Feng Jia poured himself a ss of wine. Lu Shen sat on the chair opposite his desk and turned around twice. He asked with a smile in his eyes, ¡°Do you drink in broad daylight?¡±
Feng Jia poured a third of the red wine into the ss. He lowered his eyes slightly. ¡°Just one ss.¡±
Lu Shen raised his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you drink at work. Are you in a bad mood?¡±
Feng Jia closed the bottle. ¡°Did Susan tell you?¡±
Lu Shen said helplessly, ¡°Alright, you guessed it right away, I didn¡¯t betray your secretary.¡±
He did not beat around the bush and asked directly, ¡°Did you and Gu Chu have a fight?¡±
Feng Jia took a sip of wine. ¡°There¡¯s a disagreement.¡±
Lu Shen crossed his legs. Unlike Feng Jia¡¯s cold and stern look and Lin Yu¡¯s gentleness, when he smiled, there was a hint of flirtatious charm. ¡°Be more tolerant of her. She¡¯s smart and beautiful, so it¡¯s inevitable that she has a little temper. It can be fun to spoil her.¡±
The king of jealousy in Haicheng City furrowed his brow. ¡°Why do you say it like that?¡±
¡°No reason.¡± Lu Shen smiled. ¡°I am a man who admires women.¡±
Feng Jia took a sip of wine and said sarcastically, ¡°You sure know how to talk for a man who doesn¡¯t have a woman.¡±
Lu Shen felt like he was pped on the face. ¡°You are brutal.¡±
Outside the ss wall, the sky was clear and blue. Feng Jia looked at it and said in a low voice, ¡°She¡¯s just too attractive.¡±
Was he jealous? Lu Shen looked at his good friend with a yful look. ¡°Who are you jealous of? It¡¯s not Lin Yu, is it?¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently. Lu Shen was stunned andughed. ¡°Is it really him?¡±
He thought that Meng Lang was yful and Wang Xiao was younger than Gu Chu, so he guessed that it must be Lin Yu.
Lu Shen sipped his tea carefully. ¡°Aren¡¯t you overthinking? Although the rtionship between the Gu and Lin families is good, they are like siblings.¡±
Feng Jia said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve seen the look in his eyes.¡±
This piqued Lu Shen¡¯s interest. ¡°Tell me more about it.¡±
Feng Jia was not a talkative person to begin with, let alone gossiping about his girlfriend. He put his ss of wine aside and returned to his desk. ¡°CEO Lu, aren¡¯t you busy?¡±
Lu Shen replied, ¡°This is a serious matter regarding my cousin and brother-inw. No matter what work I have, it has to be postponed.¡±
Seeing that Feng Jia still had no intention of chatting, Lu Shen went straight to the point and asked, ¡°Those who are involved cannot see things clearly. Do you still want to reconcile with her?¡±
Feng Jia paused for a moment before he summarized the entire incident in just a few words.
Although it was short, Lu Shen understood it.
He put down the teacup, and the surface of the tea rippled. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry at me for speaking up for my cousin. You are definitely in the wrong this time.¡±
Whether Lin Yu was interested in Gu Chu was a different matter. He had interfered with Gu Chu¡¯s work without caring about the consequences. He acted based on his own guess, anyone would be angry.
Feng Jia¡¯s expression was calm, and it was obvious that he did not agree with what he said.
Lu Shen patiently tried to persuade him, ¡°You are in a high position and have always been authoritative. However, Gu Chu is not your business partner or subordinate. You can¡¯t plot against her, and you can¡¯t act on your own. Do you understand what I mean?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyshes fluttered. It seemed like he finally understood.
Lu Shen understood this because he had the way his parents interacted.
He didn¡¯t give any more advice, because then it would be a lecture. He paused and said, ¡°Last night, I heard my mom call my uncle and he said that you took the household registration booklet from the Gu family. Just get the marriage certificate. That way, no other man will have a chance.¡±
Chapter 145 - Feng Jia’s Pupils Dilated
Chapter 145: Feng Jia¡¯s Pupils Dted
Feng Jia subconsciously fiddled with the engagement ring. Did he think he didn¡¯t want it?
Gu Chu had already rejected him. He had to wait for a time when she wouldn¡¯t refuse.
Speaking of which, Lu Shen asked casually, ¡°Where¡¯s the household registration booklet? I¡¯ll see if Gu Wan is in it.¡±
The temperature had dropped drastically today. Feng Jia happened to be wearing the coat that he had worn when he went to the Gu residence that day. The household registration booklet was in his pocket. He stood up and walked to the clothes rack and took it out.
Then, he identally took out Gu Chu¡¯s underwear.
Lu Shen: ¡°?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s pupils dted. No wonder the feeling in his hand felt a little strange. He remembered that they did it in the kitchen that day...
He had put it in his pocket
The coat had only been worn once, so the housekeeper did not wash it. No one had touched it, so it was in his pocket the whole time.
Feng Jia immediately stuffed it back into his pocket.
Lu Shen frowned suspiciously.
What did he just see?
Lu Shen thought that he was seeing things. How could Feng Jia carry that kind of thing around with him? He was not a pervert, but it looked like it. He could not help but ask, ¡°What is that?¡±
Feng Jia immediately controlled his expression. ¡°A handkerchief.¡±
Lu Shen said doubtfully, ¡°Oh.¡±
Feng Jia gritted his teeth.
Before Lu Shen left, he still nagged him like a mother. ¡°Chu Chu is actually very reasonable. In her anger, she still told you where she was. She didn¡¯t just disappear. It¡¯s better than the kind of women who make things confusing, right?¡±
So, it was better to appease her as soon as possible!
Feng Jia looked at the household registration booklet on the table and fell into deep thought.
To make it easier to check on the twenty households who filed aint, Gu Chu and her secretary checked out of the hotel room and found a lodging nearby.
The secretary bought a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge and a bottle of milk from the convenience store, and returned to the lodging.
Gu Chu sat on the bed and was processing emails. The secretary said, ¡°Director, you should eat something. You haven¡¯t eaten much all day.¡±
Gu Chu responded, but her eyes never left theputer screen.
There was beef in the ramen they had this morning. Gu Chu only ate the noodles and didn¡¯t eat anything else because she felt the meat was too gamey. In the afternoon, they only ate a bowl of Gaifan at a roadside stall. She felt nauseated and didn¡¯t eat much.
¡°Director, your stomach has been ufortable for some time. Did you go for a check-up?¡±
Gu Chu did not even raise her head. ¡°When would I have time?¡±
She had been busy with the matter regarding Shengyan previously. Afterpleting that task, she had rushed to the capital.
The secretary looked at her suspiciously. ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re not pregnant? Did you have your period?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s fingers stopped moving. ¡°It should be here in the next two days.¡±
She said without hesitation, ¡°CEO Feng and I have been doing it quite frequently recently. If I am really pregnant, wouldn¡¯t it happen a long time ago?¡±
The secretary pouted. ¡°Oh.¡±
Maybe it was just the stomach.
¡°Alright, stop studying me. Come and take a look at this.¡± Gu Chu turned theputer screen to her. ¡°This woman¡¯s name is Li Xiu. She¡¯s the one who led the opposition to the project. She¡¯s over sixty years old.¡±
Speaking of work, the secretary immediately jumped up and came over to take a look.
Gu Chu ate the vegetable porridge and said, ¡°Her husband passed away a few years ago, and her son went missing twenty years ago. Now, she¡¯s the only one in the family. It¡¯s really strange that such an old person would take the lead to cause trouble every few days.¡±
The secretary also sensed that something was wrong. ¡°How did her son go missing?¡±
Gu Chu replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s not written here, but we can ask the residents nearby.¡±
As she spoke, her phone screen lit up. She nced at it and saw that it was Lin Yu calling.
She answered, ¡°Lin Yu.¡±
Lin Yu had just gotten off work and was driving home. ¡°Chu Chu, I saw your Wechat moments. Are you in the capital now?¡±
¡°Yes, I arrivedst night.¡± She told him what she saw, ¡°My secretary and I went undercover and investigated more than ten other families. We found that they didn¡¯t object at all, except for the leader, Li Xiu.¡±
¡°I¡¯m also investigating it. They want three times thepensation, but it could be for other reasons.¡± He frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t fight them head-on.¡±
Gu Chu knew they couldn¡¯t fight the locals. She replied, ¡°We pretended to be tourists and got some information, but we didn¡¯t expose our identities.¡±
Lin Yu was still a little worried. ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t be too bold.¡±
Chapter 146 - The Flustered Feng Jia
Chapter 146: The Flustered Feng Jia
Gu Chu found it funny. ¡°Are they going to take my life?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t joke around.¡± Lin Yu happened to run into a red light. He put his car in neutral and turned on his phone to look at his busy schedule. He frowned. ¡°I¡¯ll go over after I finish some work.¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t mind. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Do your own thing. If it¡¯s necessary, I¡¯ll show my identity at the site and ask them to help me.¡±
Lin Yu had no other choice but to say, ¡°Okay.¡±
After ending the call with him, Gu Chu opened up her Wechat moments and looked at the likes andments of her friends. She flipped through it but did not see any activity from Feng Jia.
She was so angry that she puffed out her mouth and blew on it. She mumbled, ¡°Bastard.¡±
Gu Chu turned her anger into appetite and finished the remaining porridge. It was already eight or nine o¡¯clock in the evening. She and her secretary were ready to wash up and go to bed. Gu Chu threw the trash into the trash can outside.
When she finished taking the rubbish out, she realized that there were quite a number of red flowers nted around the house.
The red flowers formed what looked like a sea of fire.
Gu Chu could not tell what kind of flower this was, but she could not help but think of the Red Flower Killer. Goosebumps immediately appeared on her back. She quickly walked into the room and when she saw her secretary, she said sinisterly, ¡°Do you want to hear a bedtime story?¡±
The secretary was interested. ¡°Sure, sure!¡±
But in the next moment, she lost all interest.
¡°My story is about a serial killer from twenty years ago. Every time he selected a victim, he would send three red flowers and then choose a day to kill them cruelly,¡± Gu Chu deliberately emphasized her words. The secretary¡¯s face was as pale as death.
¡°His methods were extremely cruel, including, but not limited to, disemboweling them and then dumping them in the wilderness. Some of the corpses were already eaten by wild wolves when they were found. Most importantly, the murderer has yet to be found!¡±
Her tone suddenly rose, giving the secretary a fright. ¡°Stop talking! I¡¯m scared!¡±
Gu Chu was satisfied. ¡°Right? When I first heard about this, I was also very scared.¡±
¡°So,¡± the secretary pouted. ¡°You¡¯re just trying to scare me?¡±
How could she have such a boss?!
Gu Chu pretended to dig in her pocket. ¡°Do you know what the red flower looks like? Let me show you.¡±
¡°No! don¡¯t want to see it!¡± The secretary was shocked and ran back to her room in fear.
Gu Chu burst outughing and stopped teasing her. She took her cell phone and notebook, turned off the lights in the living room, and went back to the room.
She didn¡¯t notice that when she turned off the lights, a ck shadow shed outside the window.
It waste at night, and everything was silent outside the window.
In the master bedroom of Jinyuan Residence, Feng Jia was breathing heavily, as if he had a nightmare. He suddenly opened his eyes and felt around him.
It was empty beside him.
He pursed his lips, picked up his phone, and called Gu Chu.
Gu Chu¡¯s phone was off.
Feng Jia didn¡¯t give up and called twice, but her phone was still off.
Gu Chu would turn off her phone when she slept. When he thought of the nightmare just now, his heart felt a little stifled.
When he came back to his senses, he lifted the nket and got out of bed. He took out his suitcase from the cab. As he threw his clothes inside, he called his secretary, Susan.
Soon, Susan picked up his call. ¡°CEO Feng.¡±
¡°Send me Gu Chu¡¯s secretary¡¯s phone number and book me the earliest flight to the capital.¡±
Susan didn¡¯t ask further and immediately sent it to him.
Feng Jia called. The secretary¡¯s phone was not switched off, but no one answered.
It was not until the third time that the phone was finally picked up by someone. A muffled voice sounded, ¡°Hello?¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°Zhou Xuan?¡±
The secretary was still in a daze. ¡°Yes, you are?¡±
¡°Feng Jia,¡± Feng Jia exined the purpose of the call. ¡°Is Gu Chu in?¡±
The secretary: ¡°? !¡±
Her eyes widened. ¡°Yes, yes!¡±
She answered while tugging on Gu Chu who was sleeping soundly beside her. ¡°Director, CEO Feng is looking for you!¡±
Gu Chu was out the whole day today. When she was woken up, she was very annoyed. ¡°Feng Jia?¡±
When he finally heard Gu Chu¡¯s voice, Feng Jia¡¯s heart rxed. ¡°Are you okay?¡±
¡°Of course I¡¯m okay. I¡¯m sleeping...¡± She took out her phone and looked at it. She narrowed her eyes and asked, ¡°Do you know what time it is? It¡¯s two o¡¯clock in the morning. Why are you up at this time?
Chapter 147 - Feng Jia was Worried About Her?
Chapter 147: Feng Jia was Worried About Her?
What was he doing if he wasn¡¯t sleeping at this time?
Feng Jia pinched the space between his eyebrows. He wasn¡¯t sure why he had such a big reaction to a dream.
He had never lost control like this before. He didn¡¯t like the feeling of losing control, like a puppet being held in someone else¡¯s hand.
He let out a long sigh and sat down by the edge of the bed. ¡°Be careful.¡±
Gu Chu was even more confused. ¡°What should I be careful of?¡±
Feng Jia of course wouldn¡¯t tell her that it was actually a nightmare. He only said, ¡°I¡¯ll be in the capital tomorrow.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s mind was filled with questions. ¡°Why?¡±
She even suspected that he had taken the wrong medicine. ¡°Are you thinking ofing over to catch me cheating?¡±
Gu Chu was defeated. ¡°Feng Jia, I¡¯ve already said that there¡¯s nothing going on between brother Lin Yu and me...¡±
In the end, she said angrily, ¡°Do whatever you want!¡±
She was so angry that she hung up the phone and switched on airne mode on her secretary¡¯s phone.
This was the lesson. If one didn¡¯t turn off their phone while sleeping, all kinds of ridiculous things would happen.
Feng Jia packed his luggage and Susan sent him a message. ¡°CEO Feng, the earliest flight is at 6:20.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Susan was a little confused. ¡°Is there an urgent matter for you to go to the capital? You still have to meet with Mr. Stephen from DL in the afternoon. I¡¯ve already rejected him once. He came to Haicheng City specifically for this, it doesn¡¯t seem appropriate for us not to meet him.¡±
Feng Jia was silent.
There was no urgent matter. There wasn¡¯t even anything for him to do there.
Gu Chu often went on business trips. He had never responded like this before. This time, it was because of a nightmare that he decided to go.
He nced at the suitcase in the corner. ¡°Cancel the flight. We¡¯ll meet in the afternoon.¡±
He had never been an impulsive person, and it was for such a ridiculous reason.
At 8:30 in the morning, Gu Chu and her secretary started to put on makeup. The secretary couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Director, why did CEO Feng callst night?¡±
Gu Chu didn¡¯t know either. Feng Jia¡¯s call came out of nowhere. She said, ¡°He told me to be careful.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± The secretary was shocked. He threatened her instead of sleeping at night? ¡°Why?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°He thinks I¡¯m cheating on him.¡±
The secretary: ¡°...¡±
Was it because of the misunderstanding caused by her photo yesterday? The secretary mumbled, ¡°You brought this onto yourself.¡±
Gu Chu looked over. ¡°Huh?¡±
The secretary immediately changed her words. ¡°CEO Feng definitely loves you.¡±
Gu Chu was curious. ¡°Why do you think so?¡±
The secretary said, ¡°From his tone yesterday, I can tell that he¡¯s very worried about you. If only my boyfriend was that worried about me too.¡±
¡°Worried?¡± Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°He sounded normal to me.¡±
Wasn¡¯t it just a normal tone?
The secretary understood. ¡°Then he must have calmed down when he talked to you. Anyway, when I picked it up, he sounded worried.¡±
Gu Chu really couldn¡¯t imagine Feng Jia¡¯s flustered face.
She continued to put on her makeup. ¡°Watch less idol dramas. Feng Jia isn¡¯t the kind of person you¡¯re talking about.¡±
¡°Oh,¡± the secretary changed the topic and asked, ¡°Are we going to Li Xiu¡¯s house today?¡±
Of course not. What if Li Xiu got angry out of embarrassment and hit them with a broom?
Gu Chu didn¡¯t want to take the risk. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the ramen restaurant from yesterday. The owner is quite talkative. Maybe we can get some information out of her. Let¡¯s find out why Li Xiu¡¯s son went missing.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± The secretary nodded like a chick pecking at rice. ¡°It¡¯s so exciting. I feel like I¡¯m investigating a case!¡±
But soon, she regretted the excitement.
Gu Chu smiled when she entered the restaurant. ¡°Hi.¡±
The owner remembered these two beautiful girls. ¡°Hey, do you really live near here?¡±
¡°Yes, we live in a ce with red flowers at the entrance. It¡¯s only a few minutes¡¯ walk.¡± Gu Chu found a seat and sat down. ¡°Two bowls of ramen please. I don¡¯t want beef in mine. Just some green vegetables will do.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± The owner immediately started cooking.
Seeing that she was busy, Gu Chu wanted to take the opportunity to get some information out of her. ¡°Since your shop is here, you must have a lot of neighbors whoe here, right?¡±
The owner smiled and said, ¡°Yes, I sell at a fair price and the ce is clean. They oftene to eat.¡±
¡°It¡¯s quite convenient.¡± Gu Chu curved her lips. ¡°I¡¯m toozy to cook, and I always eat at the restaurant near me. My parents always say that it¡¯s not healthy, but I live alone, so I¡¯m toozy to cook.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. There¡¯s a woman we call Aunt Li, and she also lives alone. She oftenes to my ce to have all her meals.¡±
She¡¯s taken the bait! Aunt Li must be Li Xiu!
Chapter 148 - The Conversation was Interrupted
Chapter 148: The Conversation was Interrupted
The secretary clenched her fists tightly. Her director was so good at this.
¡°Three meals a day? Doesn¡¯t she get tired of it?¡± Gu Chuughed. ¡°Aren¡¯t her children by her side?¡±
The owner sprinkled a handful of shallots to make the dish even more fragrant. At the same time, she sighed and said, ¡°She¡¯s alone. She has no children.¡±
Gu Chu pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°She doesn¡¯t want children? I thought this is only popr in our generation. I wanted to do the same, but my parents would be the first to beat me to death.¡±
¡°No, she has a son. But more than twenty years ago, he ran away with someone. Her husband died, so she¡¯s the only one left.¡±
Finally getting to the point, Gu Chu asked curiously, ¡°Why did he run away with someone?¡±
The owner was about to continue, but at that moment, someone called her from outside. ¡°Sister Yu.¡±
The owner immediately replied, ¡°Coming.¡±
The person outside stopped calling her. The owner thought that the person must be looking for her. She ced the noodles in front of them and said, ¡°Enjoy. The seasoning is over there. Help yourselves.¡±
After saying that, she rushed outside.
Gu Chu expressed her regret. She was just one step away from getting what she wanted.
However, she could not force her to stay. She could only say, ¡°Okay.¡±
The secretary looked at the owner¡¯s back as she left. She was also a little frustrated. ¡°Who is it? We were so close to getting the answer.¡±
Gu Chu felt helpless. ¡°Let¡¯s continue to ask her when shees back.¡±
At this moment, the phone in her bag suddenly rang. It was Lin Yu. She took a small te and walked to the sauce area while answering the phone. ¡°Lin Yu.¡±
Lin Yu¡¯s voice was tense. ¡°Where are you now?¡±
¡°I¡¯m having noodles outside,¡± Gu Chu replied.
Lin Yu seemed to be relieved. ¡°Don¡¯t look for Li Xiu. There¡¯s something wrong with her.¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°I just got a more detailed report. Her son is a fugitive suspected of a criminal case.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyebrows jumped. ¡°What?¡±
Lin Yu sinctly summarized, ¡°Twenty years ago, someone saw her son bringing a girl home. Later on, that girl went missing. The police suspected that the girl may have been killed, but because the body could not be found, her son was not charged. As time passed, it became an unsolved case.¡±
Why would a sixty-something-year-old woman encourage a group of people to oppose a construction project that had already been approved by the authorities?
Or were they overthinking it? Was Li Xiu just trying to double thepensation?
Or was it that once the building was constructed, something bad would be dug out?
Perhaps Gu Chu had read too many posts about the crazed murderer, she thought like a detective and suddenly had a bold idea. ¡°Do you think that Li Xiu is so against this project because she¡¯s afraid of them diggin out something, like...¡±
Lin Yu was stunned, but he continued her sentence, ¡°the girl¡¯s body?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s hair stood on end!
At the same time, she felt a sudden gust of wind behind her. She quickly turned around and a hand appeared out of thin air, snatching away her phone.
Gu Chu subconsciously shouted, ¡°Ah!¡±
Lin Yu shouted, ¡°Gu Chu? Gu Chu!¡±
He carefully listened to the sound on the other side of the phone. There was a crackling sound that sounded like tables or chairs falling to the ground. The sound was mixed with the screams of a woman, and it was rather shocking to hear.
His tone became even more anxious. ¡°Gu Chu, Gu Chu? !¡±
Du ¡ª
The phone was hung up.
Lin Yu¡¯s hand suddenly tightened.
He immediately called the person-in-charge of the site. ¡°Old Wang, a friend of mine seems to have met with an ident near the site. I¡¯ll send her photo to you. Bring everyone to look for her. Focus on the restaurants nearby. If you can¡¯t find her, immediately call the police.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Lin Yu sent Gu Chu¡¯s photo to Old Wang while he booked a flight ticket to the capital.
However, he was too far away. At this moment, Gu Chu and her secretary were already in trouble!
The two of them had their hands and feet tied with ropes and their mouths were taped. Two men and a woman threw them into the corner of the kitchen.
The woman looked the oldest, which made Gu Chu think of one person, Li Xiu.
The other two men, one looked like he was in his forties, and the other looked younger, about the same age as them.
Chapter 149 - Something Happened to Gu Chu
Chapter 149: Something Happened to Gu Chu
If her guess was correct, the middle-aged man was Li Xiu¡¯s son, the fugitive!
Just as Lin Yu finished his sentence, the man suddenly appeared and snatched her phone. Another man appeared at the same time and closed the door. Both of them had knives in their hands, so she and her secretary did not dare to resist, they could only watch as they tied them up.
Li Xiu did not look like a kind olddy. ¡°It¡¯s these two. They¡¯ve been asking around recently. These two b * tches must have discovered something and almost exposed the truth!¡±
Her voice... Wasn¡¯t it the same voice that had just called the owner away?
Compared to the old man¡¯s calmness, her son was at a loss. ¡°Then what should we do?¡±
Li Xiu stared at Gu Chu. ¡°Sister Yu has already been sent out by me. She won¡¯t be back for a while, but we have to get rid of them as soon as possible!¡±
Get rid of them as soon as possible! Her words implied that she wanted to kill them.
The secretary was so scared that her tears kept falling. She whimpered and hid behind Gu Chu, her body trembling.
Gu Chu looked calm on the surface, but she was already panicking in her heart. What should she do?
Li Xiu¡¯s son asked in disbelief, ¡°Should we kill them? But, what if we are discovered?¡±
The young man, on the other hand, was rather determined. ¡°Kill them. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble in the future.¡±
Gu Chu whimpered and shook her head twice.
Murder was a serious offence. If they were caught, they would be shot. They couldn¡¯t agree, so they walked out to discuss.
Gu Chu struggled, but they were tightly tied up and could not break free.
She also tried to call out, but the worst thing was that there was construction ahead. The road was blocked, so it was difficult for ordinary people to pass through!
The more Gu Chu thought about it, the warmer she got. Her whole body was sweating, but soon she realized that she was not sweating because she was afraid. She was really warm!
It seemed like there was something burning here!
Gu Chu looked up and saw that the gas stove was on. There was a pot of something cooking, and the smell was quite strong.
It was beef! The owner had left in a hurry, so she forgot to turn it off!
Gu Chu stared at the fire and looked around. Suddenly, she noticed a white semi-circr thing on the ceiling, with a red light.
It was a fire rm!
When their hotels changed the fire rm, she was the one who handled it. She knew that once the rm sounded, the entire building would be alerted and it would be automatically connected to the fire station¡¯s system!
Fire station!
A thought shed across Gu Chu¡¯s mind. She used her shoulder to nudge the scared secretary beside her and raised her chin. ¡°Oh!¡±
Then, she pointed at the fire rm on the ceiling.
The secretary pulled herself together. She seemed to understand, but her hands and feet were tied. How could she trigger the rm?
Gu Chu was very grateful that the kitchen was not tidy at all. There were all kinds of things scattered around, including newspapers and magazines.
Gu Chu did not have time to think. She picked up the newspaper on the ground and hopped to the gas stove. She stood up and ignited the newspaper with the fire. Then, she threw it on the ground under the automatic rm.
However, this fire was far from enough. Therefore, the secretary jumped over, picked up the remaining magazines, and lit them up. Then, she threw them on the ground!
However, it was still not enough. Gu Chu looked up and saw a big oilcloth, but there was a big wooden box on it. She pulled it, but it didn¡¯t move.
The secretary quickly jumped over and pulled with her.
With great difficulty, the two of them pulled the cloth out, but the box on it rolled on the ground with a bang.
Gu Chu¡¯s eyelids twitched. She quickly threw the cloth away and came to the door, using her back to block it!
The moment she blocked the door, the three people outside also reacted. They kept knocking on the door. The man cursed, ¡°Damn it! What are you doing?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s heart was beating like thunder. She looked at her secretary. ¡°Mm mm mm!¡±
Hurry up and throw it into the fire!
The secretary nodded repeatedly and put the cloth into the fire.
The oilcloth was a mmable material. The mes immediately engulfed the entire cloth!
The secretary was so shocked that she fell to the ground and took two steps back. The fire instantly spread until the entire kitchen was in a sea of fire.
Gu Chu suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe.
¡°Open the door!¡± Li Xiu and the other two were still colliding with the door, causing Gu Chu¡¯s back and chest to tremble.
The secretary jumped out and blocked the door with her. At this moment, their will to survive was so strong that they actually withstood the strength of three people!
Chapter 150 - Gu Chu was Rescued
Chapter 150: Gu Chu was Rescued
The fire was getting bigger and bigger. Thick smoke billowed up to the ceiling and triggered the fire rm. The ear-piercing sound of the rm immediately resounded throughout the entire building!
Gu Chu was overjoyed. It was a sess!
The rm kept ringing and the thick smoke rushed out from the only back window.
All the residents upstairs ran down. ¡°There¡¯s fire! Where did ite from?¡±
¡°Sister Yu¡¯s kitchen is on fire! Put it out!¡±
Themotion outside was getting louder and louder. Gu Chu could hear their discussions from inside. The three people outside the door must be panicking.
Li Xiu urged the other two men. ¡°Hurry up and leave! You can¡¯t let anyone see you!¡±
Gu Chu and her secretary looked at each other, thinking that they were going to be saved. However, they never expected to hear the sound of a lock.
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡± Li Xiu locked them up!
Li Xiu was so vicious. She was going to burn them alive!
In this space of less than ten square meters, the fire was spreading rapidly. The worst thing was that under the cloth was a styrofoam box. They were all highly mmable.
The poisonous fume was mixed with thick smoke. Gu Chu and the secretary¡¯s closed their mouths. They couldn¡¯t breathe.
She drooped her eyelids, feeling that she was slowly losing her consciousness.
But, no!
She could not die here!
The fire was so big, someone would definitelye to put it out, so she had to persevere!
She bumped the secretary who was about to faint, and her eyes indicated that she had to pull herself together. She could not die here for no reason!
The secretary could not hold on at first, but seeing her like this, she also had the will to survive. She whimpered twice.
Gu Chu saw a ball of fire in front of her. She stretched out her legs and used the open fire to burn the rope on her legs. She endured the pain of the fire and did not move. She allowed the fire to burn the rope as thick as her thumb.
She wanted to burn the rope on her hands as well, but her hands were tied behind her. She tried several times but failed. Instead, she caused a few blisters on her hands.
It was getting harder and harder for her to breathe. She was about to faint, so she gave up the idea. Fortunately, she could move her feet and walk. She walked to the only back window. She stood on tiptoe and poked her head out of the window to look out.
She could vaguely see that there were many people standing on the opposite road. The fire engine had not arrived yet. There was only one young man who was not very skilled in using a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. There were also people who poured water from a bucket to put out the fire. It looked chaotic.
She whimpered twice and wanted to call for help, but the tape in her mouth muffled her voice. The secretary followed her actions and burned the rope on her leg. She walked to her side and whimpered with her.
Unfortunately, no one looked over.
The thick smoke made it difficult for her to open her eyes. They were reaching their limit. In such a big fire, if they did not cover their mouths and noses with wet rags, it would only be a few minutes before they suffocate and pass out.
Her head sank and she fell unconscious.
She fell to the ground with her eyes half closed. She could feel the fire burning and every breath she took was so difficult. Tears started to flow from the corners of her eyes and many things from the past began to appear in her mind.
It was like a movie. One scene after another was yed and finally, it stopped with a pair of cold eyes.
That was Feng Jia¡¯s gaze. When he didn¡¯t smile, he was emotionless, but when he did, he was so good-looking.
When she thought of him, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
He said that he woulde to the capital today. She wondered if it was a good time to collect her corpse? She had tried her best to save herself, but she couldn¡¯t¡¯ do it.
¡°Bang!¡±
Before she could finish her thoughts, a loud sound came from outside the door. She was shocked.
Then, there was a second sound. She tried to raise her head and look at the door. Was it an illusion?
Soon, there was a third sound. The door was on the verge of copsing.
Someone hade to save her!
When she realized this, she immediately cried out again!
Finally, after being kicked many times, the door was knocked open!
She was saved¡
She closed her eyes in a daze.
Before shepletely lost consciousness, she felt her body being picked up by someone and held in their arms. She was constantly being shaken. ¡°Gu Chu! Gu Chu! Gu Chu!¡±
Each call was more urgent than thest, and it was so familiar..
The sirens outside continued to sound. The firefighters had already arrived at the scene. Feng Jia carried the unconscious Gu Chu and rushed out of the sea of fire. Now, someone eximed, ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that there¡¯s no one inside?¡±
Who said that? Oh, it was Li Xiu.
Feng Jia said to one of the firefighters, ¡°There¡¯s another person inside, right under the window.¡±
Chapter 151 - Gu Chu Woke Up
Chapter 151: Gu Chu Woke Up
When Gu Chu woke up, it was already two dayster.
There was an oxygen tube inserted into her nose, and she slowly opened her eyes. She felt that her eyes were very dry, so she subconsciously rubbed them.
However, when she was reaching out, her arm was grabbed by someone.
¡°It¡¯s the smoke particles in the fire that make your eyes ufortable. You¡¯ll be fine in two days. Don¡¯t rub them.¡±
Gu Chu tilted her head and saw Feng Jia sitting beside her bed.
She suddenly remembered what had happened before she fainted and her eyes suddenly turned red. ¡°Feng Jia...¡±
Feng Jia said softly and gently, ¡°It¡¯s alright. You¡¯re in the hospital now. You¡¯re safe. I¡¯m here.¡±
Gu Chu moved her lips. ¡°What about Zhou Xuan? Is she alright?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°She¡¯s fine. She¡¯s in another ward.¡±
That was good. She was the one she was worried about.
She gulped. ¡°Where are the others?¡±
¡°The fire didn¡¯t spread. When the people upstairs heard the rm, they all ran to a safe ce. Only that shop was affected.¡±
Gu Chu was relieved.
She wanted to sit up, but Feng Jia held her shoulder and raised the bed.
Gu Chu said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ve harmed others by setting the ce on fire.¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Otherwise, you and your secretary would have been killed by Li Xiu,¡± Feng Jiaforted her.
Gu Chu was stunned. She gritted his teeth. ¡°How could they?¡±
There were two lives!
The coldness in Feng Jia¡¯s eyes flickered. Not only that, they had even thought of how to clean up the scene.
First, they would pack the bodies in stic bags and brought them home to hide them. Then, they would drag them outside to bury them on a dark night.
¡°Just because we were asking for the reason they opposed the construction, they wanted to kill us?¡± Gu Chu thought it was ridiculous. How could they simplymit murder? ¡°Besides, do they really think that it¡¯s been more than 20 years so no matter how hard the police investigate, they won¡¯t be able to trace it back to them?¡±
What a joke.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°If they really thought so much, they wouldn¡¯t have killed someone.¡±
Gu Chu was so angry that her heart hurt. Because she had just woken up, she felt ufortable everywhere on her body. She closed her eyes and didn¡¯t want to speak.
Feng Jia covered her eyelids slightly. ¡°I will handle this. Don¡¯t think too much about it. Just focus on recuperating.¡±
Gu Chu said in a muffled voice, ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°Okay.¡±
After he made his promise, Gu Chu finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
Feng Jiaid the bed t and poured some water. He dabbed a moist cotton swab on Gu Chu¡¯s dry lips.
After Gu Chu slept for a while, she woke up in the afternoon.
She was clearly in better spirits than in the morning.
She had been unconscious for the past two days and was relying on fluids to sustain her life. Feng Jia asked the doctor to let her eat normally today, so he ordered a meal and had it sent over.
Gu Chu leaned against the headboard, she was still unsatisfied. ¡°Li Xiu definitely didn¡¯t kill someone for the first time. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be so skilled. The girl who went missing twenty years ago was most likely caused by them. Her body must be buried near the site. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be so nervous about it.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s hands had burns and blisters. The doctor had bandaged them up, but she couldn¡¯t move yet, so Feng Jia fed her water with a spoon.
He was about to say that Li Xiu had told him everything, and the girl¡¯s body had been found when a clear male voice came from outside the door. ¡°You just woke up. This isn¡¯t something you should worry about. The police have already investigated everything.¡±
Gu Chu looked towards the source of the voice and saw Lin Yu at the door.
She was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect him to rush over so quickly. ¡°Lin Yu, why are you here?¡±
¡°You had such a big ident. How could I note?¡± Lin Yu walked over with a thermos sk in his hand and nodded at Feng Jia. ¡°CEO Feng.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°CEO Lin.¡±
Gu Chu pushed his hand away and turned towards Lin Yu, leaving him with the back of her head.
Gu Chu quickly asked, ¡°Is there really a body? Is it really at site? Were we right?¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Lin Yu replied. ¡°It¡¯s in zone three.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
This was the first time in her life that she realized she could solve crimes
¡°How do you feel now?¡± Lin Yu looked at her. ¡°I came here once this morning. CEO Feng said that you woke up but fell asleep again.¡±
¡°Much better than this morning.¡± Gu Chu was still curious about Li Xiu¡¯s case. ¡°Who are Li Xiu¡¯s two aplices? Judging by their age, they look like her sons?¡±
Chapter 152 - Awkward Situation
Chapter 152: Awkward Situation
Lin Yu nodded. ¡°It¡¯s indeed her son.¡±
Gu Chu blinked. Bingo!
When she saw the middle-aged man, the first person that came to her mind was the fugitive!
Her eyes darted around, and Lin Yu smiled. ¡°Another guess?¡±
Gu Chu thought for a moment before replying, ¡°Li Xiu instigated the other neen families to go to the base to cause a ruckus. In fact, she was trying to buy herself time so that she could move the body.¡±
¡°So, she secretly called her son who was in hiding toe back so that they could deal with the body together. It¡¯s probably difficult for an old woman like her!¡±
Gu Chu looked at Lin Yu for confirmation. ¡°Right?¡±
Lin Yu smiled and praised her. ¡°Smart. The other young man is her grandson. He was also caught.¡±
Gu Chu gritted her teeth. ¡°A family of evil people!¡±
They chatted enthusiastically as if there was no one else around, but Feng Jia¡¯s expression did not change at all.
Lin Yu opened the thermos sk. The sweet smell of millet porridge filled their nostrils. He poured the millet porridge out and said, ¡°You and the secretary have suffered for no reason.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Chu was puzzled.
¡°Li Xiu thought that you were sent here by the victim¡¯s family. The girl¡¯s family has never given up on her.¡±
Gu Chu immediately added, ¡°Li Xiu called her son back to move the body. The girl¡¯s family found out and hired someone to ask around. Coincidentally, Li Xiu saw that my secretary and I were asking around. She thought that we were hired by the girl¡¯s family, so she wanted to silence us?¡±
Lin Yu¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Miss Sherlock Holmes.¡±
Gu Chu pped for herself. She forgot that her hand had been bandaged, and she sucked in a few breaths of cold air.
Lin Yu¡¯s smile disappeared, and he grabbed her hand. ¡°Be careful.¡±
Gu Chu quickly put her hand to her mouth and exhaled.
Lin Yu put down his hand. Remembering that Feng Jia was still there, he couldn¡¯t help but look at him.
Their eyes met. Feng Jia looked as calm as ever.
They looked away.
Gu Chu was still immersed in solving the case. She sneered, ¡°I was wondering why Li Xiu was in such a hurry to silence him. So it turns out that she was guilty!¡±
¡°But Liu Xiu and the others wouldn¡¯t just wait for the police to catch them, right?¡±
Feng Jia suddenly said, ¡°Gu Chu.¡±
Gu Chu subconsciously turned her head. ¡°Huh?¡±
Feng Jia immediately stuffed a spoonful of water into her mouth.
¡°Drink some water, moisten your throat, and then talk.¡±
¡°...¡±
Was she imagining things? Why did it feel he was asking her to shut up?
Then, she realized something.
She and Lin Yu?
What an awkward situation.
They kept discussing the case and forgot about Haicheng City¡¯s King of Jealousy!
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She turned to Lin Yu and said, ¡°You must have a lot of things to deal with, right? Go do what you need to do. Feng Jia is here.¡±
She even specifically mentioned Feng Jia.
¡°Okay,¡± Lin Yu replied and brought the millet porridge to her. ¡°Have some. You haven¡¯t eaten for two days.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Gu Chu quickly took it andplimented, ¡°It smells so good.¡±
¡°I made it for you in the hospital kitchen.¡±
Gu Chu quickly withdrew her hand. ¡°Ouch, my hand hurts!¡±
Feng Jia snorted.
If she wasn¡¯t so close to him, she probably wouldn¡¯t have heard it.
If it was before, she would definitely have taken it. They had been friends for more than ten years and it was just a bowl of porridge.
However, with Feng Jia around now who was so bothered by Lin Yu, he would be annoyed at her if she took it from him.
Gu Chu wrinkled her nose. Feng Jia had just saved her, so she couldn¡¯t be so ungrateful.
¡°Thank you, Lin Yu. It¡¯s still hot. I¡¯ll eat itter.¡±
Lin Yu said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Lin Yu put down the porridge and looked at Feng Jia. ¡°I heard that you lost your suitcase in order to save Gu Chu?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Chu suddenly became nervous. ¡°You lost your suitcase?¡±
She often brought some confidential documents from thepany along with her. It would be troublesome if they were lost. Moreover, Feng Jia was the CEO, so the things he brought were definitely more important.
Feng Jia replied, ¡°I¡¯ve already found it. Nothing was lost.¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Have you checked it thoroughly? No items are missing, right? Did someone make a backup? Somepanies are in danger because of the leak of confidential documents. You have to check it carefully.¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°There are only documents and clothes in the luggage. There are no other valuable things. The person who saw it doesn¡¯t have the password. They can¡¯t open it, so it¡¯s fine.¡±
Gu Chu exhaled. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±
Chapter 153 - Display of Affection
Chapter 153: Disy of Affection
Feng Jia suddenly smiled. ¡°What are you afraid of? Afraid that I¡¯ll lose the important documents and lose our joint assets?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Good heavens, only husband and wife would have joint assets, so this was a deration of sovereignty in front of Lin Yu?
Gu Chu wanted to retort. What did his prenuptial assets have to do with her?
But when she met his gaze, she obediently replied with an ¡°Mm¡±.
Afraid that he would forcefully disy his affection, she changed the topic and asked, ¡°How did you know that I was there?¡±
She had never told him, so how did he find her?
This question made Feng Jia¡¯s eyes darken as he recalled what happened that day.
When he arrived, the fire was already burning. The onlookers said that there was no one inside, but he felt slightly uneasy.
To be more precise, he had been feeling uneasy ever since he woke up from the nightmare in the early morning.
He called Gu Chu and Zhou Xuan¡¯s cell phones, but both of them were switched off. The feeling of unease grew until he raised his head and saw Gu Chu with her mouth taped, standing by the small window that was emitting thick smoke.
At that time, his breathing stopped.
His mind was nk at that moment. By the time he reacted, he had already broken through the locked door and caught her lying on the ground.
At that moment, he clearly felt every breath he took.
However, he would not let Gu Chu know about this.
He looked at her deeply. ¡°I asked your secretary.¡±
So it was like this. Gu Chu decided to give her secretary a big year-end bonus at the end of the year.
Lin Yu lowered his eyes and screwed the lid of the thermos. He said to Gu Chu, ¡°Have a good rest. I¡¯lle back to see youter.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°If you¡¯re busy, you don¡¯t have toe over. Besides, I feel much better now.¡±
Lin Yu nodded at Feng Jia and then walked out of the ward.
As soon as he left, Feng Jia became cold. He said lightly, ¡°He has beening to see you every day for the past two days, and he keeps asking the doctors about your condition. It shows that he is very concerned about you.¡±
Feng Jia was jealous.
Gu Chu looked at him. ¡°Can I have the millet porridge that Lin Yu made himself?¡±
Feng Jia looked at her and didn¡¯t say anything.
Gu Chu continued to tease him. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯ll wake up today? Why didn¡¯t you prepare anything for me to eat? I¡¯m so hungry now. The only thing I can eat is Lin Yu¡¯s millet porridge, right?¡±
This woman, who had just experienced a near-death experience, was acting up again.
However, her appearance now was much more pleasing to the eye than her sickly appearance on the bed.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and asked, ¡°Is this Mr. Feng?¡±
Feng Jia turned around. ¡°Yes.¡±
The person who came was a waiter from the hospital¡¯s private kitchen. He ced a three-tiered wooden food container on the table. ¡°This is the dish you ordered. Please enjoy.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu nced over. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±
It was hot in the capital, so he only wore a shirt. He looked particrly skinny as he slowly opened the food box.
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes lit up.
He opened the food boxyer byyer and took out two exquisite small tes. There was not much on each te, but it smelled heavenly.
Six dishes, just enough to fill a table.
Feng Jia looked at her. ¡°Do you want porridge or this?¡±
Gu Chu was delighted. ¡°This, of course!¡±
Was this the desire of a man to win?
She simply loved it!
The bowl of millet porridge was given to the granny in the next ward. The granny had lost her teeth, so it was just right for her to eat porridge.
She had wanted to take a bite, but Feng Jia would not allow it.
Gu Chu muttered, ¡°Tsk, stingy.¡±
Feng Jia heard this and asked, ¡°Who saved you?¡±
Ingrate.
¡°I will forgive you for ruining my work and suspect that something was going on between me and Lin Yu.¡±
Gu Chu felt that she was being fair.
The previous incident could be written off, but she made it clear to him, ¡°From now on, you¡¯re not allowed to interfere with my work. Also, there¡¯s nothing going on between Lin Yu and I. Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. Do you hear me?¡±
She threatened fiercely, ¡°Otherwise, I will not forgive you!¡±
¡°I will not interfere with your work,¡± Feng Jia added, ¡°But you have to stay away from him. I can see how he feels about you.¡±
Just now Lin Yu deliberately created a feeling that no one could fit in with the two of them.
This made him very upset.
Chapter 154 - His Marriage
Chapter 154: His Marriage
Gu Chu blinked and asked, ¡°Am I so close to him?¡±
Feng Jia frowned, thinking that she was going to quarrel with him again.
Unexpectedly, her next sentence was, ¡°Be reasonable, the number one man in my heart has always been you! Even my father is behind you, what else do you want?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s body was startled, and the unhappiness in his heart instantly dissipated.
Gu Chu openly dered her love for him, and one sentence was enough to move his heart.
Feng Jia lifted her chin, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Gu Chu did not close her eyes. She hooked his neck and kissed him back.
It was a very gentle kiss. It was not lustful, and it calmed the panic and helplessness in her heart.
When Gu Chu was alone, she could remain calm and collected in any situation. However, when she was facing him, she became weak. He had already let go of her, yet she still wanted to continue.
Feng Jia caught a glimpse of someoneing in from the corner of his eye. He said in a low voice, ¡°The doctor ising in.¡±
Gu Chu quickly moved away. She even snatched the chopsticks from his hand and started eating.
The nurse behind the doctor saw that she was eating and said, ¡°The blister on your hand hasn¡¯tpletely healed yet. Let your boyfriend feed you.¡±
Gu Chu coughed lightly. ¡°I am fine. There is nothing wrong with my body, right?¡±
The doctor briefly exined her condition. She had been trapped in the fire for so long. How could she bepletely fine?
She still needed to stay in the hospital for a period of time. She could only be discharged after her condition hadpletely stabilized.
¡°What about the other girl? Is her condition simr to mine?¡± Gu Chu asked.
She vaguely remembered that her secretary seemed to have copsed before her.
The doctor shook his head. ¡°Her condition is more serious than yours. She was resuscitated two nights ago, but her condition is stable now. Judging from her recovery, she should be able to wake up in the next two days.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. Feng Jia only said that her life was not in danger, but she did not expect it to be so serious. She thought that she was just like her.
She lifted the nket. ¡°I¡¯ll go and see her.¡±
Feng Jia grabbed her hand. ¡°You can go and see her when she wakes up. There¡¯s a nurse there taking care of her. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
The doctor also said, ¡°Miss Gu, it¡¯s better for you to rest.¡±
Gu Chu also knew that she could not exert herself. She only nodded. ¡°Alright, if anything happens, inform me immediately.¡±
The doctor expressed that he understood. He then asked the nurse to take her blood pressure and heart rate before leaving.
Gu Chu thought about it and decided to inform Zhou Xuan¡¯s family. At the very least, she had to inform her boyfriend.
After her boyfriend answered the phone, he immediately said that he would take the earliest flight to be there.
Gu Chu hung up the phone. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, ¡°Li Xiu is really vicious. How did his son kill that girl?¡±
Feng Jia did not reply. He only said, ¡°You don¡¯t want to know.¡±
Gu Chu closed her eyes.
As the saying goes, justice is served.
The girl had been lying in the wastnd for more than 20 years. Her grievances had finallye to light.
That day, the ambnce sent Gu Chu directly to the public hospital. Feng Jia did not transfer her to another hospital. Although the public hospital had private wards, it was not as well equipped as the private hospital.
Feng Jia wrung a clean towel and wiped her face. Gu Chu asked, ¡°How did the police know that the fire was rted to Li Xiu and the others?¡±
Shouldn¡¯t they have run away by then?
Only she and her secretary knew the inside story, but they were unconscious at the time.
Feng Jia replied, ¡°When her son was running away, he happened to run into a neighbor. That neighbor was brave and alert, so he immediately caught him and handed him over to the police. Her son was timid and confessed to everything.¡±
His tone was cold. ¡°They were charged with multiple crimes. The three of them will spend the rest of their lives in prison.¡±
After wiping her face, Gu Chu fell asleep again in a daze.
Feng Jia saw that she was asleep, so he turned on theputer to do work.
The ward gradually fell into silence, leaving only the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard.
Suddenly, his fingers paused. He suddenly recalled that morning.
He had originally decided not toe. He wanted to meet an important client who hade from afar. However, he had a premonition and called Susan to ask her not to refund the ticket, so he still managed to catch the flight.
At that time, Susan was very surprised and asked, ¡°CEO Feng, is your trip to the capital for business or personal matters?¡±
He replied without even thinking, ¡°It¡¯s about my marriage.¡±
Chapter 155 - The Secretary Woke Up
Chapter 155: The Secretary Woke Up
At the hospital, there was a lunchdy pushing a trolley to deliver meals to the patients and their families. There were three meals a day, consisting of lunchboxes, noodles, and porridge. It was quite convenient.
Therefore, Gu Chu told Lin Yu that there was no need to send her more porridge. She bought food from the lunchdy.
Firstly, she was afraid that Feng Jia would be jealous. Secondly, it was indeed convenient.
After Feng Jia fed her, he applied ointment on her hands. Gu Chu did not have any other external injuries other than blisters.
Gu Chu was a little bored lying on the bed, so she started to talk about her heroic acts in the fire.
She kept chattering non-stop.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyebrows twitched. ¡°Stop talking.¡±
¡°You feel sorry for me?¡± Gu Chu smiled.
Gu Chu was just joking and thought that he wouldn¡¯t answer, but unexpectedly, he mumbled in affirmation and continued to apply the ointment.
She was ted and moved closer to kiss him on the cheek. Feng Jia found it funny.
Later, the nurse came to tell Gu Chu that Zhou Xuan had woken up. Gu Chu was overjoyed and quickly asked Feng Jia to push her to see the secretary.
Feng Jia simply pushed her bed with the nurse.
Although their wards were on the same floor, they were separated by several wards.
As soon as Gu Chu was pushed into the ward, she stretched out her hand and shouted, ¡°Zhou Xuan!¡±
The secretary cried out pitifully, ¡°Director!¡±
Just like that, they stretched out their hands and hugged each other in the air.
Feng Jia shook his head helplessly when he saw them like that. He instructed the nurses to wait outside while he went to the doctor to ask about the situation.
Gu Chu said, ¡°I told your boyfriend. He should be here today.¡±
The secretary quickly asked, ¡°Director, you didn¡¯t tell my parents, did you?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t tell them, but I don¡¯t know if your boyfriend will tell them.¡±
The secretary didn¡¯t really want her parents to worry about her. Gu Chu quicklyforted her, ¡°We survived a great disaster. We¡¯ll definitely have good fortune in the future!¡±
¡°What about the three people?¡± The secretary had just woken up and didn¡¯t know anything.
Gu Chu replied, ¡°They¡¯ve already been caught by the police. They¡¯ve admitted to everything, including the girl¡¯s murder back then.¡±
The secretary was shocked. ¡°When I go back, I must pay my respects at a temple and get rid of the bad luck on me.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°This is considered a work injury. Thepany will be responsible for the medical expenses. In addition, when I go back, I¡¯ll give you a raise and a year-end bonus.¡±
The secretary¡¯s mood immediately improved. ¡°As expected, only money can soothe my injured heart now.¡±
The two chatted for a while. The nurse said that the doctor wasing, so Gu Chu was pushed to her own ward.
Feng Jia came with the doctor. After making sure that she was fine, he left.
Feng Jia remembered something and asked the doctor, ¡°Did she have her stomach checked?¡±
The doctor flipped through the medical records and replied, ¡°No.¡±
¡°Her stomach wasn¡¯t feeling too good recently. Please check it,¡± Feng Jia said.
The doctor nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll do a gastroscopy tomorrow. Don¡¯t eat anything after ten today. You need to have an empty stomach tomorrow morning.¡±
Gu Chu did not have any objections. She could feel some pain in her stomach, which was more severe than before.
After the doctor Left, Gu Chu asked him, ¡°Can you arrange for my secretary and I to be in the same room?¡±
¡°No,¡± Feng Jia directly refused.
¡°Why?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not convenient.¡±
Gu Chu was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s not convenient? She¡¯s timid, I can apany her.¡±
Feng Jia sat by the bed and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t her boyfriending? It¡¯s awkward for them and us.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She silently pulled up the nket. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. I don¡¯t want to do anything in the hospital.¡±
Feng Jia was amused. ¡°You haven¡¯t even fully recovered yet, and you¡¯re already concerned about others.¡±
Gu Chu straightened her neck. ¡°I¡¯ve always been good to whoever treats me well. My secretary and I are friends forever.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s smile was very faint. ¡°I treat you well, but you don¡¯t treat me well.¡±
Gu Chu was in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯m not good enough to you?¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°Heh.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She turned her head away and ignored him.
After a while, she turned her head back and called out to him, ¡°Feng Jia.¡±
¡°Hmm?¡± Feng Jia was writing an email.
¡°Help me get the owner of the ramen restaurant here. I want to talk to her aboutpensation.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°I¡¯ll deal with thepensation.¡±
She didn¡¯t need to see her personally.
Gu Chu said, ¡°Actually, there are other things.¡±
Chapter 156 - Manipulating the Owner
Chapter 156: Manipting the Owner
In the afternoon, the owner came to the hospital.
The incident had already spread locally. Everyone knew that Li Xiu and her family were murderers.
It happened in her small restaurant. The owner was actually quite nervous. She bought a fruit te and wondered why Gu Chu wanted to see her.
Gu Chu only had two things in mind.
Firstly, it was to talk aboutpensation. Secondly, she didn¡¯t forget the purpose ofing to the capital.
To solve the problem of the opposition.
Although Lin Yu let her recuperate in peace and said he would take care of things himself, she also wanted to do something.
Anyway, she could talk her way out of it, so she asked her toe.
Gu Chu had a pleasant attitude. She first apologized to the owner, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for burning down your store.¡±
Thedy bossughed dryly. ¡°It¡¯s my own fault. I believed Li Xiu¡¯s words. She said that Lianhua Supermarket had a discount and told me to go there quickly. She also said that she had finished shopping and could help me look after the store, so I went.¡±
¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯ve been neighbors for so many years. Of course, you thought that she meant well.¡±
Gu Chu took out an envelope from under the nket. Inside was thepensation money that she asked Feng Jia to prepare. She handed it to the owner. ¡°This is for yourpensation for the fire.¡±
The owner did not expect Gu Chu to be so straightforward. She quickly took it. ¡°Thank you!¡±
Gu Chu smiled.
Feng Jia was in a corner of the ward. While he was handling his own work, he watched the little fox raise her tail and put on an act. She was thinking about how to persuade her.
Gu Chu said again, ¡°I think you know what happened to Li Xiu, right? She led the opposition to the construction not because she wanted to get morepensation for you, but because she was afraid that the corpse would be found.¡±
The owner was stunned.
Gu Chu revealed her identity. ¡°I¡¯m not a tourist, but the person in charge of the Sky Garden Project.¡±
The owner¡¯s hand that was holding the envelope trembled. ¡°Then why did you call me here today?¡±
¡°The police are investigating Li Xiu and the others. You and her are working together to oppose the construction. They will definitely ask whether you knew that they were hiding the corpse, or they might suspect that you are helping them.¡±
The owner¡¯s face gradually turned pale. ¡°No, no! We have no idea about this at all! We¡¯re really just here for thepensation!¡±
Gu Chu sighed. ¡°You might be the one who¡¯s most affected by this. After all, Li Xiu and the others wanted to kill us in your restaurant.¡±
The owner panicked. ¡°Then, then what should we do?¡±
Gu Chu patiently enticed her. ¡°First, you must cooperate with the police. Tell them everything you know.¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
¡°Second, you must support the project. The more you support it, the less guilty you are.¡±
The owner was at a loss. ¡°Is that all?¡±
¡°Of course not.¡± A sly look shed across Gu Chu¡¯s eyes. ¡°I will be the mediator and try to eliminate the negative perception of you and the others.¡±
The owner seemed to be deep in thought.
Gu Chu turned her head and met Feng Jia¡¯s eyes. Feng Jia said silently, ¡°Maniptor.¡±
Gu Chu gritted her teeth. So what if she was manipting her?
Feng Jia stopped looking at her and looked at the screen.
Susan sent a message. ¡°The chairman is very upset with your failure to meet Stephen. CEO Huai has personally gone abroad to negotiate with Stephen in person. They have already reached an agreement.¡±
The smile on Feng Jia¡¯s face disappeared.
CEO Huai, Feng Huai, his second brother.
The owner finally made up her mind. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back and tell them that I won¡¯t oppose the project!¡±
Gu Chu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Every day that the project was dyed, it would cost money.
¡°Oh right, I heard that your neighbor caught Li Xiu¡¯s son? Please help me thank him. If it weren¡¯t for him, Li Xiu and the other two wouldn¡¯t have been caught so quickly,¡± Gu Chu said.
The owner shook her head. ¡°Which neighbor?¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t your neighbor recognize Li Xiu¡¯s son?¡±
Thedy boss waved her hand. ¡°We are old acquaintances. I really haven¡¯t seen him before.¡±
Gu Chu was puzzled. Didn¡¯t they say it was a neighbor? If they weren¡¯t neighbors, how could he recognize him all of a sudden?
After the owner left, Gu Chu was still thinking about it. Even when Feng Jia walked up to her, she didn¡¯t notice.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He asked.
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°The owner said that she didn¡¯t know the person who caught Li Xiu¡¯s son.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°The police just contacted me and said that they wille tomorrow morning to take your statement. You can ask the police then.¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
Chapter 157 - The Person was Suspicious
Chapter 157: The Person was Suspicious
Feng Jia looked at the time. It was past six in the afternoon, and it was getting dark. He asked her, ¡°Do you want me to wipe your body?¡±
Hearing his question, Gu Chu suddenly became anxious. ¡°Quick! Go to the lodging and bring my suitcase over!¡±
She sounded so anxious that Feng Jia thought something was wrong. She patted her face and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t used a facial cleanser and any skin care products for three days! If I don¡¯t save it now, I won¡¯t be your little rose, but a cactus!¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
He didn¡¯t expect that this vixen who was lying on the hospital bed, cared so much about her face.
He was speechless for a moment. Then, he paused and said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask the nurse to get it.¡±
¡°No!¡± Gu Chu copied what he said earlier, ¡°There¡¯s confidential information in there. What if it goes missing? We¡¯ll lose our joint assets!¡±
Feng Jia pinched her cheek and sighed. ¡°I¡¯ll get the nurse to watch over you. If you¡¯re tired, sleep for a while. I¡¯lle back and help you wipe your body.¡±
Gu Chu rushed him. ¡°Go quickly!¡±
After he left, Gu Chu sent a Wechat message to Lin Yu. ¡°I¡¯ve already convinced the owner. The remaining neen households should not object to the construction.¡±
Lin Yu was probably busy and did not reply to her for the time being. She was a little bored, so she started watching a TV series.
Just as she was engrossed in watching it, the nurse suddenly walked over and said, ¡°Miss Gu, did you order millet congee?¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Gu Chu looked up and saw the millet congee in her hand. She was a little confused. ¡°I didn¡¯t order it. Maybe you¡¯re mistaken?¡±
The nurse replied, ¡°He said that you ordered it this morning.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°Oh, put it down first. I¡¯ll ask Feng Jia when hees back.¡±
The nurse was responsible and reminded Gu Chu, ¡°Miss Gu, your eyes haven¡¯t fully recovered yet. Don¡¯t stare at your phone for too long, or it¡¯ll hurt your eyes.¡±
She acknowledged it and turned it off when she saw that there was still half of the episode left.
Gu Chu sent a message to Feng Jia. ¡°Have you found the ce?¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Feng Jia arrived just in time and was about to open the door.
¡°Did you order millet congee for me this morning?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Sure enough, they were mistaken.
Gu Chu nced at the millet congee and rested her chin on one hand. She sent him a voice message when he had nothing to do. ¡°Feng Jia,e back quickly. I¡¯m scared!¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard her coquettish words.
He didn¡¯t reply, but his hands moved faster. Soon, he stuffed all her things into the suitcase.
He left the lodging and saw a sea of red flowers in front of the door.
¡°Mr. Feng.¡±
Someone called him from behind. He turned around and saw two policemen. One was surnamed Zhang, and the other was surnamed Li.
Feng Jia nodded and saw that they were holding notebooks in their hands. He asked, ¡°Are you checking the surroundings?¡±
¡°Yes, I just got to know the situation from the people nearby,¡± Officer Li replied.
¡°Thank you for your hard work. Then I won¡¯t bother you two.¡± Feng Jia pulled the suitcase and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Officer Li, the person who imed to be Li Xiu¡¯s neighbor and caught her son, did you also question him?¡±
¡°It¡¯s strange. We¡¯ve been asking around all day and none of the neighbors knew him. Only someone had seen him in the neighborhood. We called him, but it¡¯s not a valid number,¡± Officer Li said with a frown.
Feng Jia frowned. That was indeed suspicious. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s his name?¡±
¡°Jia Ming.¡±
Jia Ming? A fake name? Feng Jia said coldly, ¡°Do you have a photo of him?¡±
Officer Li took out his phone and said, ¡°We took his photo from the surveince camera.¡±
Feng Jia took a look and found that he was about 40 years old. He looked ordinary, but there was a tattoo on his arm which looked like a scorpion.
At this time, a notification popped up. Feng Jia opened it and saw that it was from a colleague of Officer Li.
¡°I found two people who looked simr in the facial recognition system. One is called Wang Yong, from Chengdu, and he is working there. The other is called Pan Zhen, from Zhuhai. He is currently working as a courier for a deliverypany in Haicheng City. He should be one of these two people.¡±
Feng Jia immediately noticed the other person behind him.
He was from Haicheng City? Wasn¡¯t this too much of a coincidence? Feng Jia narrowed his eyes. Did he purposelye all the way from Haicheng City?
What was he trying to do? Follow Gu Chu?
He felt that the air he breathed in was bone-piercing cold. He returned the phone to Officer Li, pulled the suitcase, and strode away.
He took a taxi back to the hospital.
On the way, he texted Susan, ¡°Check on a guy named Pan Zhen. He works for a deliverypany.¡±
Chapter 158 - Gu Chu had Disappeared
Chapter 158: Gu Chu had Disappeared
Susan was apetent secretary. No matter what abrupt orders she received, she could carry them out immediately.
Feng Jia had many connections in Haicheng City, so it was easy to find out a person¡¯s background.
Soon, Pan Zhen¡¯s information was sent to him.
After Feng Jia read it, she called Gu Chu again.
Gu Chu saw the food carte around and towards her ward. She was about to call out when it stopped.
The person who delivered the food today was not a woman, but a man. He was also wearing a uniform and a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly, he said to Gu Chu¡¯s nurse, ¡°You¡¯re from this ward, right? I just passed by the nurses¡¯ station, and the head nurse asked for you.¡±
The nurse looked at her. Gu Chu thought for a moment. It was probably for the gastroscopy tomorrow morning, so she nodded. ¡°I¡¯m fine, you go ahead.¡±
The nurse¡¯s station was on this floor, and it wasn¡¯t far, so the nurse jogged over.
¡°Oh right, sir.¡± Gu Chu pointed at the bowl of porridge and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t order this. You must have taken it to the wrong ward.¡±
The man pushed the food cart into the ward and was a little puzzled. ¡°It can¡¯t be? Let me take see.¡±
*
There was no traffic today, so Feng Jia arrived quickly at the hospital.
He called Gu Chu, but Gu Chu didn¡¯t pick up.
The nurse was supposed to take care of the secretary, but she was called to Gu Chu¡¯s ward at thest minute, so he didn¡¯t save her number. He wanted to ask the secretary for it, but the secretary¡¯s phone was broken.
Feng Jia dragged the suitcase and strode into the hospital. When he entered the elevator, a man from the cafeteria pushed a food cart past him.
¡°CEO Feng¡± Lin Yu happened to be in the elevator. When he saw him, he greeted him first.
Feng Jia nodded. ¡°CEO Lin.¡±
The elevator opened with a ding, and Feng Jia was the first to walk out.
He always had a cold look, but now his face was even colder. Lin Yu sensed the atmosphere around him, and his nerves tensed up as he followed him.
Before he entered Gu Chu¡¯s ward, the nurse ran out anxiously. ¡°Mr. Feng, Miss Gu is missing!¡±
Lin Yu¡¯s expression changed. Gu Chu could not get out of bed yet, so she would not leave on her own.
Feng Jia rushed into the ward. The bed was a mess. She had obviously struggled, and there was a bowl of millet porridge that had been knocked over.
Lin Yu turned to ask the nurse, ¡°Weren¡¯t you taking care of her? How could she be missing?¡±
The nurse replied in a panic, ¡°Just now, the food delivery person from the cafeteria said that the head nurse was looking for me, so I went to the nurse station. However, I didn¡¯t see the head nurse, so I waited for a while.¡±
¡°When the head nurse came back, she said that she wasn¡¯t looking for me, so I hurried back. Only then did I realize that Miss Gu was already gone.¡±
It was obvious that he was luring her away. Lin Yu closed his eyes to calm himself down, then walked out. ¡°I¡¯m going to check the surveince cameras.¡±
This floor was for private wards, so it was difficult to kidnap someone in broad daylight. There must be something that a person could fit in.
Feng Jia immediately thought of the food cart he saw when he entered the elevator.
His expression turned cold, and he quickened his pace. He passed Lin Yu and went downstairs, chasing after the food cart.
He saw that it was abandoned by the roadside. A man was carrying a woman and putting her into the backseat of the car!
Feng Jia¡¯s pupils dted. It was Gu Chu!
When he chased after him, the man had already closed the door and went into the driver¡¯s seat.
Feng Jia shouted, ¡°Stop!¡±
The man did not expect to be caught up so quickly. He stepped on the elerator and sped away!
Feng Jia chased after the car and coincidentally, a taxi stopped by the roadside. He immediately got in and said, ¡°Quick, catch up with the car in front!¡±
The taxi driver subconsciously followed. Feng Jia had just nced at the license te and memorized it. He sent it to Lin Yu. ¡°Chu Chu is in this car. Send it to the police.¡±
Lin Yu: ¡°Okay.¡±
He acted quickly and had already contacted the police.
There were cameras everywhere, so the police quickly locked onto the car. At the same time, they contacted the traffic police nearby to help stop him.
However, the man clearly did not n it on the spur of the moment. It was a premeditated n. He had long nned the route and took the small roads and alleys to avoid the cameras.
Feng Jia was the one who was the closest to them.
He switched ces with the driver halfway and took control of the steering wheel himself. He drove the taxi like a sports car.
The driver, who was in the front passenger seat, was scared out of his wits. He grabbed the door handle and seat belt. Was he in a movie? It was too exciting.
Chapter 159 - Received Three Flowers
Chapter 159: Received Three Flowers
Feng Jia didn¡¯t hang up. He threw it into the groove and turned on the speaker. Lin Yu¡¯s anxious voice came through, ¡°Where are you?¡±
Feng Jia nced at the navigation system and said, ¡°Bai Tian Road.¡±
Lin Yu told the police, ¡°Bai Tian Road.¡±
After the police received it, looking at the surveince footage, ¡°There is a section of Bai Tian Road that has a blind spot. He must have driven to that section of road. The surveince cameras can¡¯t see it at the moment, but the traffic police are chasing after him from Huazhong Road. As long as he continues along Bai Tian Road, they will definitely be able to stop him.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jia saw the car in front suddenly make a sharp drift and turn into a small road.
He turned too fast. It was already toote for Feng Jia to make the sharp turn. He stepped on the brakes and stopped. He quickly reversed into the small road.
However, after being dyed for more than ten seconds, the car had already disappeared at the end of the small road.
The sky had already turnedpletely dark. Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were fixed in front of him.The look in his eyes was even darker than the night sky.
There were no streetmps around him. The pressure around his body was so low that the driver did not even dare to breathe.
Gu Chu¡¯s words shed through Feng Jia¡¯s mind. ¡°Come back quickly, I¡¯m scared.¡±
Lin Yu asked, ¡°CEO Feng, where are you now?¡±
¡°I lost him,¡± Feng Jia¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°See you at the police station.¡±
Then, he hung up.
Feng Jia gave up the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Drive to the police station.¡±
The driver drove the car to the police station in fear and trepidation. Feng Jia gave him some extra tip after he got out of the car.
When Feng Jia arrived, the police had contacted Gu Chu¡¯s secretary to ask if Gu Chu had offended anyone recently?
Zhou Xuan racked her brains but could not think of anything. ¡°When we were in Haicheng City, nothing like this had ever happened. Our director is a very nice person. She didn¡¯t have any enemies until she came here and met Li Xiu. Perhaps it¡¯s their aplice?¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°That person¡¯s name is Pan Zhen. He¡¯s the neighbor who caught Li Xiu¡¯s son.¡±
Susan also called him. ¡°CEO Feng, we went to Pan Zhen¡¯s house, it is filled with books on medicine, human anatomy, and so on. We also found that he¡¯s been looking into Miss Gu.¡±
The secretary was terrified and was about to cry.
She suddenly thought of the murderer that Gu Chu had told her about and blurted out, ¡°Could it be the Red Flower Murderer?¡±
Officer Li did not understand. ¡°What lRed Flower Murderer?¡±
Officer Zhang had heard about it before. ¡°Is it the serial killer from twenty years ago? Before he kills someone, he would give the victim three red flowers. The police have searched for generations after generations, but they still have no leads.¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s it!¡± The secretary was so anxious that tears were falling. ¡°The director told me that she once received a small red flower. Could it be him?¡±
The two police officers fell into deep thought. They didn¡¯t think it was such a coincidence. How could a murderer who had disappeared without a trace suddenly appear? Why did he target Gu Chu?
The secretary was immersed in her own theory. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say the victim has to receive three flowers? The director said there was only one.¡±
Lin Yu¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Two.¡±
When he brought Gu Chu to buy the painting, there was one on the car key, so she received two flowers.
Feng Jia¡¯s heart sank. ¡°Three.¡±
On the day that Gu Chu was drunk in the clubhouse, there was a small red flower on her head.
So, there were three flowers!
Outside the police station, a storm suddenly broke out, and a heavy rain came unexpectedly.
Gu Chu was awakened by the sound of the pitter-patter of the rain.
She never expected that the man who delivered the food would actually attack her. He covered her mouth and nose with a towel. She fainted before she could struggle.
After a moment of panic, she quickly epted the fact that she seemed to have been kidnapped again.
Sigh.
Where was she this time?
She opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. It was as if her eyes were covered by a ck cloth?
Then, she felt something sharp sliding on her stomach.
Her breathing stopped. ¡°Who are you? What are you doing?¡±
Pan Zhen squatted in front of her and looked at her stomach. He said gloomily, ¡°I wonder if there¡¯s a child in there?¡±
Pervert!
After an unknown amount of time, the thing on her stomach still did not move away. She guessed that it was something like a knife, and then she felt a gaze staring at her...
Chapter 160 - Little Red Flower Killer
Chapter 160: Little Red Flower Killer
She felt her scalp go numb, and her body started to tremble uncontrobly.
But the next second...
¡°Pfft.¡±
Someone suddenlyughed.
Gu Chu¡¯s body stiffened, and she felt the threat on her stomach move away.
She heard someone say, ¡°He was just trying to scare you.¡±
It was another man¡¯s voice.
It sounded a little younger than the previous one, and it sounded goofy.
Gu Chu swallowed her saliva. She did not lose her vignce because of the young man¡¯s words. Instead, she became even more afraid.
Because there were actually two men!
She clenched her fingers and dug her nails into her palms. Her eyes were covered, and her hearing was even more sensitive. She asked loudly, ¡°Who are you guys?¡±
The young man smiled. ¡°I gave you so many flowers. Do you really have no impression of me at all?¡±
Flowers?
Did she receive any flowers? She thought about it, it seemed so. Small red flowers? Her back stiffened. ¡°You¡¯re the Little Red Flower Killer?¡±
Gu Chu was scared when she made this guess.
The young man¡¯s voice was very happy. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me.¡±
¡°...¡±
For a moment, Gu Chu didn¡¯t know what to say.
What kind of luck did she have? A murderer who had disappeared for more than 20 years actually appeared now to kidnap her?
Her brain was buzzing. ¡°Why did you target me?¡±
The man said casually, ¡°I¡¯ve been watching you for a long time. I asked Pan Zhen to work as a mover at the logisticspany a month ago so that I could meet you.¡±
¡°I only received one flower, and I received it at the supermarket. Did you get the wrong person?¡±
Gu Chu was still struggling.
¡°You only received one flower?¡± The man said in surprise, ¡°I gave you at least seven or eight.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
¡°Maybe you¡¯ve overlooked them all. Who would care about a flower?¡± The man sounded a little regretful, ¡°So, you didn¡¯t expect me to kill yout? This game is no longer fun. You¡¯re not afraid before?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
What did he mean by that?
The man suddenly sat beside her.
She subconsciously retreated.
She was sitting on a sofa, which seemed to be made of real leather. There was a special smell in the air.
Gu Chu¡¯s initial fear slowly turned into confusion.
There were too many questions in her mind, so she asked tentatively, ¡°Why did you cover my eyes? I don¡¯t know you, so it¡¯s okay even if I see you.¡±
The man didn¡¯t say anything. Gu Chu¡¯s hearing and smell told her something. ¡°Are you drinking?¡±
The man swallowed a mouthful of red wine and approached her. ¡°Do you want some?¡±
Then, he said, ¡°Forget it. You¡¯re pregnant now. I don¡¯t think you can drink, right?¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. ¡°What? Pregnant?¡±
¡°Aren¡¯t you?¡± The man touched her stomach with the wine ss and smiled faintly. ¡°Our killers always pick pregnant women. If you weren¡¯t pregnant, I wouldn¡¯t have targeted you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡± She was pregnant?
Was she really pregnant?
No wonder she always felt nauseated, vomited, and had a bad appetite.
She vaguely realized that her cycle seemed to have been dyed for a few days.
Maybe she was really pregnant?
Even her secretary guessed that she might be pregnant, but she refuted and thought that it was impossible. She and Feng Jia had taken safety measures.
After experiencing a series of kidnappings, she was no longer shocked by the pregnancy.
She quickened her breathing and instinctively curled up to protect the child in her stomach.
She was both shocked and scared now. There was only one thought left in her mind.
Feng Jia!
Come and save me and our child!
Gu Chu pursed her lips. She had to stall for time now and wait for Feng Jia toe.
She looked at the man through the ck cloth. The man did not retreat at all.
She calmly said, ¡°You¡¯re not the Little Red Flower Killer. You¡¯re actually imitating him.¡±
The man¡¯s eyes suddenly narrowed.
The police were still racing against time to track down the car. They had already mobilized arge number of police officers.
With every passing minute, Gu Chu¡¯s danger increased.
Feng Jia and Lin Yu also used their connections. Soon, they found a clue.
The car stopped in a vi area.
Soon, they determined which one it was.
The operation officially began!
The higher-ups even called in the special unit to assist. After all, it was a serial killer who had been on the run for more than 20 years.
Chapter 161 - Prank
Chapter 161: Prank
As Officer Li prepared to set off, he sighed. ¡°The rich live in that area. Even if it¡¯s rented, the price is not cheap. So this serial killer is actually a wealthy person?¡±
Officer Zhang said, ¡°The richer you are, the more perverted you can be.¡±
CEO Feng and CEO Lin did not have the time to respond to these words. This time, in order to save Gu Chu, they were working together for the first time.
They got into the police car and rushed to the vi area with arge number of police officers.
In the car, the chief officer told them about the situation. The more they knew about the vi, the more confident they were in rescuing Gu Chu.
¡°Thendlord sent the topographic map of the house, and the sniper is in position. Thendlord said that she rented the house to a woman named Su Xin. Su Xin¡¯s ID number and other information are being confirmed.¡±
¡°Also, the surveince footage shows that Pan Zhen and another man had entered and left the vi together, but that man seemed to be avoiding the surveince cameras and his face was not captured.¡±
Lin Yu looked at his phone. ¡°I¡¯ve also found Su Xin. She had been working in the United States. CEO Feng, take a look.¡±
Feng Jia took the phone and looked at it. His brows furrowed and his expression was unintelligible.
Heavy rain continued to pour on the ss window, showing no signs of stopping. After hearing Gu Chu¡¯s words, the young man smiled. ¡°How am I not the Little Red Flower Killer?¡±
Gu Chu felt that he didn¡¯t really want to kill her, so after she rxed and regained herposure, ¡°You don¡¯t seem like him at all.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± The man was curious. ¡°I¡¯m all ears.¡±
¡°This is either a hotel or a high-ss apartment. I¡¯m sitting on a leather sofa. I can also smell the scent of essential oil. It must have been ced in a humidifier. It¡¯s been diluted and it¡¯s still so pure. It¡¯s obvious that it¡¯s very expensive. Moreover, you¡¯re drinking red wine.¡±
Gu Chu slowly came to a conclusion. ¡°All of this means that you¡¯re actually very rich.¡±
The manughed. ¡°Rich people cannot be murderers?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°You have another aplice. That shouldn¡¯t be the case. Serial killers like to act independently.¡±
This was all thanks to Ms. Lin Yin, who liked to read mystery novels and television dramas. Every time, she would analyze them, so she remembered some of them.
For example, for various reasons, serial killers wouldmit crimes by themselves, enjoying the pleasure and not looking for help.
The man did not speak.
Gu Chu said again. ¡°And your voice, it sounds too young. You¡¯re probably in your twenties or less than thirty years old, right?¡±
¡°The Little Red Flower Killer startedmitting crimes more than twenty years ago. How old were you then? Everyone said that he was a brawny man in his twenties or thirties then, so he¡¯s probably in his fifties now.¡±
¡°It¡¯s more believable to say that your aplice is the serial killer.¡±
The man smiled again.
There was another thing that she could not understand. Why did he have to blindfold her?
She was going to die anyway. Why was he afraid that she would see his face?
Unless...it was someone she knew?
She thought about it carefully and said, ¡°I think your voice sounds a little familiar. Have we met before?¡±
The young manughed out loud and took off her blindfold. Gu Chu narrowed her eyes when they were exposed to light.
The manplimented her, ¡°Gu Chu, you¡¯re as smart as ever.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. He was actually... !
When Feng Jia and the others walked to the entrance of the vi, it was pitch ck inside. There was no movement at all.
The chiefmander¡¯s walkie-talkie sounded, ¡°The lights went out five minutes ago.¡±
¡°Could they have discovered us?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure. There were two figures walking around inside just now. Miss Gu is sitting on the sofa. Both parties are very calm.¡±
After some consideration, the chiefmander gave the order, ¡°Go in.¡±
Feng Jia got out of the car. ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡±
¡°No.¡± He was stopped by someone. ¡°The situation is unknown. The assant might have a murder weapon in his hand. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡±
Lin Yu also got out of the car. ¡°I want to go in as well.¡±
Themander: ¡°...¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t even blink. ¡°With me here, the hostage won¡¯t panic.¡±
Lin Yu said, ¡°I¡¯m responsible for myself.¡±
The special unit team sneaked into the first floor but didn¡¯t find anyone. They stuck close to the wall and entered the second floor.
After Feng Jia entered, his eyes had already adapted to the darkness. After scanning the living room, he took off the watch on his wrist.
A chill gathered between his brows. After reading Su Xin¡¯s information, he had a vague guess in his heart.
Now, he was even more certain.
He quickly went upstairs.
Chapter 162 - A Big Surprise
Chapter 162: A Big Surprise
The vi had a total of three floors, and there were six rooms on the second floor. After the special unit team finished their investigation, they directed them to the third floor.
Feng Jia, on the other hand, did not stop and went straight to the third floor.
When the team saw him, they shouted in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t go up.¡±
Feng Jia turned a deaf ear, and the team immediately gestured to follow him.
There was a big door on the third floor. Feng Jia held the door handle with both hands and pushed hard.
The moment the door opened, there was a sudden ¡°bang¡± that resounded across the sky. This made everyone¡¯s hearts tremble.
The special unit teamimmediately rushed forward.
However, after the loud sound, all the lights in the vi lit up in an instant. Piano music suddenly sounded from the phonograph. Red and green ribbons slowly fell down. The sky was filled with floating balloons.
They thought that they had mistakenly entered someone¡¯s birthday party.
Under everyone¡¯s surprised, and confused gazes, someone jumped out and shouted, ¡°Surprise!¡±
Everyone: ¡°...¡±
Feng Jia, who was standing, was indifferent.
Gu Chu, who was sitting, was numb.
The entire vi fell into a dead silence.
And the only man who moved was the man standing next to the phonograph.
He was handsome and wore a shirt and leather shoes. He was tall and had a faint smile on his lips.
He walked towards Feng Jia.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes followed him as he approached, his eyes as cold as ice.
He said his name, ¡°Feng Huai.¡±
Yes, this person was Feng Huai, Feng Jia¡¯s second brother.
Su Xin was his secretary. After Feng Jia found out that the person who rented the house was Su Xin, he realized that this was not a serial murder case, but a dumb prank.
Indeed it was.
Feng Huai smiled. ¡°Big brother, long time no see. This is a gift for you.¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, Feng Jia¡¯s fistsnded on his face!
One punch after another, without mercy.
It was obvious how furious he was this time.
This was also the reason why he had just taken off his watch.
Gu Chu sat at the long table. She was a little hungry, so she picked up a knife and fork and cut a steak.
She also wanted to beat up Feng Huai, so she didn¡¯t stop Feng Jia. The others might have been dumbfounded, and no one stopped him.
Feng Huai retreated to Gu Chu¡¯s side. She picked up the wine ss and wanted to take a sip, but when she thought about how she might be pregnant, she turned around and poured the ss of red wine straight at Feng Huai.
Feng Huai: ¡°...¡±
He wiped the red wine and blood off his face and the corner of his mouth. Seeing that Feng Jia was about to punch him again, he said, ¡°Big brother, I just thought about the extent you went to chase me out of the countryst time.¡±
¡°I was only taking revenge.¡±
The words were provocative.
She had long heard that the Feng brothers fought openly, but she had never had the chance to experience it. Now, she finally knew.
Gu Chu sneered. ¡°Second young master, I¡¯ll remember you this time.¡±
She had been kidnapped from the hospital for no reason and was worried for an entire night. She did not have such a magnanimous heart. She would not forget this.
The chiefmander also came up. Even though he knew Feng Huai¡¯s identity, he could not help but shout, ¡°This is too much. You are disturbing public order and wasting police force. This is against thew, do you know that?¡±
Feng Huai turned his head to Pan Zhen and said righteously, ¡°That¡¯s right. Did you hear that? This is taking away public resources. If there is another emergency case, can you take the responsibility?¡±
¡°Admit your guilt. Bear whatever responsibility you have to bear.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± Pan Zhen stood up and bowed to apologize to everyone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t expect the matter to be so big. I was just joking.¡±
Feng Huai was clearly pushing Pan Zhen to be his scapegoat.
Themander did not let them fool him. ¡°You¡¯d better go to the police station.¡±
He waved his hand, and the police immediately came forward.
Pan Zhen obediently followed them. Feng Huai did not look flustered. After wiping his face with a handkerchief, he said to Gu Chu slowly, ¡°This meal was a little rushed. I¡¯ll treat you to a good meal next time.¡±
Gu Chu was expressionless. ¡°I just hope that the next meal won¡¯t be so thrilling. Otherwise, what I ssh on you will not be red wine, but acid.¡±
Feng Huai nodded seriously. ¡°Okay.¡±
When he passed Feng Jia, he even gave him a friendly smile. ¡°Brother, see youter.¡±
Feng Jia remained expressionless the whole time.
Chapter 163 - I’m Pregnant
Chapter 163: I¡¯m Pregnant
The rain outside gradually subsided. Tonight¡¯s thrilling event had finallye to an end. Some members of the special unit team had withdrawn, while the others were still searching around the vi.
Feng Jia had something to say to Gu Chu, but the chief officer pulled him aside for a few words.
He looked in Gu Chu¡¯s direction. Officer Li was asking her a question. He saw Lin Yu walking up to her and asked gently, ¡°Chu Chu, are you okay?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. He didn¡¯t do anything to me.¡±
It was just a prank.
¡°Mr. Feng, I need you to know what you think of this. Your brother had intentionally threatened someone, albeit as a prank. We must punish him,¡± the chief officer said in a deep voice.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were still on Gu Chu. He only answered, ¡°Act ording to thew, there¡¯s no need to give face to anyone.¡±
Then, he walked towards Gu Chu.
Gu Chu was still sitting at the dining table. Officer Li asked, ¡°The ambnce is almost here. Miss Gu, are you ok? If yes, can I ask you some questions?¡±
Gu Chu nodded. ¡°Go ahead.¡±
Gu Chu answered a few questions. When she saw Feng Jia approaching, she stopped, stood on her tiptoes and put her arms around his neck in front of everyone.
Officer Li: ¡°...¡±
Feng Jia paused and quickly hugged her back. He even patted her on the back.
Officer Li: ¡°...¡±
He touched his nose and felt that he shouldn¡¯t ask any more questions.
It was a cold autumn night. The heating in the vi was not turned on. Gu Chu¡¯s body was a little cold, so she hugged Feng Jia tightly for warmth.
Feng Jia also hugged her tightly. Still worried, he asked again, ¡°Are you okay?¡±
¡°No.¡± Gu Chu buried her head in his chest and said in a muffled voice.
Feng Jia picked her up. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s concern was for something else. ¡°An innocent life is involved, Feng Jia.¡±
¡°A lot of people almost died in the past few days.¡± If it weren¡¯t for the police and that it murder was illegal, Feng Jia would have killed Feng Huai just now.
Gu Chu knew that he wasn¡¯t aware, so she bit her lip and said, ¡°What I mean is, I¡¯m pregnant.¡±
Feng Jia was carrying her down the stairs steadily and had already reached thest step. Hearing her words, for some reason, he stumbled and almost dropped her.
Gu Chu immediately hugged his neck tightly and cried, ¡°Even if you don¡¯t want to have this child, you can¡¯t throw me off like this. If I lose it, how painful will it be for me!¡±
Feng Jia wasn¡¯t the only one who was shaken. Even Lin Yu, who had heard what she said, was shocked.
Feng Jia hugged her firmly and lowered his head. Her face was reflected in his light-colored eyes. ¡°When did you get pregnant?¡±
How did she know?
She didn¡¯t even know that she was pregnant, and it was Feng Huai who had just said it. However, when she said this, it made it seem as if her child had something to do with Feng Huai.
She pursed her lips. ¡°It might be something that happened in the past month or two. Don¡¯t I often feel nauseated? At first, I thought it was a stomach problem, but now it seems like it might be a pregnancy? What did the doctor say about the previous check-up?¡±
Feng Jia shook his head. ¡°They didn¡¯t check that.¡±
Gu Chu had mixed emotions at this moment.
She could outwit a murderer and a kidnapper. At the same time, she could be weak around Feng Jia. Suddenly, she said, ¡°I¡¯m still a baby myself. How can I give birth to a baby?¡±
¡°...¡±
Lin Yu had been following behind them the whole time because he was worried about Gu Chu¡¯s health. Now he knew that it was time for him to leave, he coughed lightly.
Only then did Gu Chu see that Lin Yu was also present. She felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lin Yu did not make a fuss and said, ¡°CEO Feng, send Gu Chu to the hospital. I¡¯ll take care of the aftermath.¡±
Feng Jia nodded. ¡°Sorry for troubling you today, CEO Lin.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Lin Yu said to Gu Chu again. ¡°Go see the doctor. I¡¯ll see you tomorrow.¡±
Gu Chu nodded.
Lin Yu walked towards the chief officer.
Feng Jia also lowered his head to look at her.
She did not expect to be pregnant so suddenly. Gu Chu said, ¡°Feng Jia, I¡¯m scared.¡±
Feng Jia tightened his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡±
How could she not be afraid? Giving birth was not a small matter. It was a double injury to her body and spirit.
However, when she thought that this was her and Feng Jia¡¯s child, she still felt a little happy.
Chapter 164 - Do You Want children?
Chapter 164: Do You Want children?
Feng Jia wanted to carry her to the ambnce, but Gu Chu suddenly resisted, ¡°No. I want to sit in your car.¡±
Once she got into the ambnce, she would have to lie on the bed in the middle. The nurses sitting on both sides would stare at her, which would make her feel awkward.
There was also an SUV. Feng Jia wanted to put her in the back seat, but Gu Chu said again, ¡°You¡¯d better hold me. My life has been too uncertain recently. When I return to Haicheng City, I will go to a few more temples to pray. You have to protect me now. Who knows if I will be in danger again in the next moment?¡±
She said pitifully. He looked helpless and sat in the back seat with her. He said to the driver, ¡°Go to the hospital.¡±
The rain did not stop. Gu Chu still felt a little cold, so he said to the driver, ¡°Turn on the heater.¡±
The driver did as he was told.
Everything was ording to her request. She leaned in Feng Jia¡¯s embrace with satisfaction. With her current state, she was like a baby. How could she be a mother?
A lot had happened recently. The case involving Li Xiu had just been concluded when Feng Huai came. They did not have the time to talk about Feng Huai. The only thing in their hearts was the unexpected pregnancy.
Gu Chu tugged at Feng Jia¡¯s shirt button. ¡°If I¡¯m really pregnant, will you want this child?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s voice was very low. ¡°Do you?¡±
Neither of them could answer.
This was because the child hade unexpectedly. Feng Jia was a person who was used to doing things ording to n. He did not like unexpected situations.
Gu Chu had never thought about this question, so she was at a loss.
¡°Let¡¯s get married.¡± Feng Jia¡¯s voice came from above.
Gu Chu was stunned and looked up at him.
He repeated. ¡°After we return to Haicheng City, we¡¯ll get married.¡±
Gu Chu suddenly felt upset. ¡°Is it because of the child?¡±
Feng Jia looked at her as if she was a fool. ¡°Our marriage agreement has existed for more than ten years. Regardless of whether we have children or not, it¡¯s reasonable for us to get married.¡±
However, Gu Chu felt a little awkward. ¡°But, don¡¯t you think that you¡¯re doing this for the sake of the child?¡±
She immediately left Feng Jia¡¯s arms and went to the other side of the car.
Feng Jia let out a deep breath. This was not the first time she had rejected him.
*
Not long after, they arrived at the hospital. The doctors and nurses were already prepared. The moment Gu Chu arrived, they put on an oxygen mask and an ECG monitor for her. They also checked her blood pressure and arranged for a new infusion for her.
Feng Jia told the nurse that she had to check if she was pregnant first. The nurse was a little surprised. She knew that Gu Chu had just escaped from the fire, but if she was really pregnant, then this child had lived a tough life even before birth.
The nurse agreed to her request and drew four tubes of blood. ¡°I¡¯ll rush it, but the results won¡¯t be out until tomorrow morning at the earliest. If you¡¯re really pregnant, then the gastroscopy scheduled for tomorrow morning might not go on.¡±
Feng Jia nodded. ¡°Okay.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s clothes were a little dirty. She must have dirtied them when she was put in the dining cart.
Feng Jia took a clean set of clothes from her suitcase and then went to fetch some hot water.
Gu Chu took the opportunity to send a message to Lin Yin:
[Something big has happened! Something big has happened! Something big has happened! I must say it three times!¡±]
[I might be pregnant!]
Lin Yin started to spam ¡°?¡±
[Really?]
[When did it happen?]
[How many months has it been?]
[Is it a boy or a girl?]
[I just had my blood drawn for the test. The results will only be known tomorrow, but I think it¡¯s basically confirmed.]
Lin Yin sucked in a breath of cold air.
[I was just joking with Meng Lang yesterday about when you guys were going to have your wedding, but you caught me off guard. You actually have a child?
Gu Chu bit her finger. [I¡¯m very conflicted right now. What should I do?]
[What¡¯s there to be conflicted about?]
[Whether or not to have the child.]
[What does Feng Jia think?]
Gu Chu pursed her lips. [He didn¡¯t say that he didn¡¯t want it. I kind of want it too.]
[Then keep it. It¡¯s not like you can¡¯t afford it.]
[He didn¡¯t say that he wanted it either. I just don¡¯t know if I want it or not.]
Lin Yin: [...]
Lin Yin: [I don¡¯t understand your logic.]
Gu Chu: [Heh.]
Lin Yin: [You should hurry up and make a decision. The longer you wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for your recovery. If you want to get rid of it, you should go back to Haicheng City and do it. After all, all your connections and whatnot are here.]
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. She stopped typing and sent out a voice message instead. ¡°Who told you I don¡¯t want it! You actually cursed my child! End of friendship!¡±
Chapter 165 - He Wiped Her Body
Chapter 165: He Wiped Her Body
Lin Yin: ¡°...¡±
Who cursed her child?
Lin Yin: [I think you¡¯re crazy.]
[ There is an error sending the message. ]
Lin Yin: ¡°...¡±
Bang!
When Feng Jia came back with a basin of hot water, he heard Gu Chu¡¯s words and she looked so angry. Then, he frowned slightly, feeling helpless and amused.
He locked the door of the ward and closed the curtains. Then he sat by the bed and reached out to take off her clothes.
He said as he took them off, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When the test results are out, we¡¯ll know if you¡¯re pregnant or not. We¡¯ll still have to see if the child is healthy before we consider whether to keep it.¡±
He sounded very rational. After all, she was almost killed in the fire. It was hard to say whether the child was healthy or not.
However, Gu Chu could not listen to such words now. She puffed out her chest and said, ¡°Do you think the child is a contract?¡±
Her tone was quite fierce. Feng Jia wiped her body helplessly and said gently, ¡°What else can we do? You ended your friendship just like that?¡±
¡°I have a normal reaction. You spoke as though the child is not yours.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyelids twitched. ¡°Try spouting nonsense again?¡±
Gu Chu:¡±...¡±
Alright then.
She couldn¡¯t even say it casually. As expected of the King of Jealousy.
Gu Chu temporarily quieted down. It was onlyter that she realized where he was wiping.
Although they had seen each other many times, that was when they were doing it. No matter what they did, they wouldn¡¯t feel ashamed. Unlike now, when they were facing each other with the lights on, she felt ufortable.
She moved to the side to hide and pulled the nket higher. ¡°Where are you touching? I¡¯m in a special situation now, so don¡¯t do anything rash.¡±
Then she added, ¡°After all, if you really start it, you¡¯ll be the one suffering.¡±
She said it with confidence.
Unexpectedly, heughed and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Do you think that there are only those few positions?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°Huh?¡±
¡°I can still f * ck you without going in.¡±
¡°!¡±
Oh my god, what did he just say?
Gu Chu¡¯s slightly pale little face immediately turned red. ¡°You¡¯re shameless!¡±
How could he say such a thing?
It really didn¡¯t match his usual self, did it?!
The next second, Feng Jia fiercely pinched her chest. ¡°What did you say?¡±
Gu Chu curled her body. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything.¡±
Feng Jia said calmly, ¡°You¡¯re the one who thought that I couldn¡¯t do anything to you. You hid after I answered you.¡±
Gu Chu closed her eyes in embarrassment. ¡°Stop talking!¡±
Feng Jiaughed out loud.
She had been through so many things in the past few days, yet she was still full of vigor. It was clear that even if she had a child, that child must be healthy.
Feng Jia¡¯s fingers moved down andnded on her soft belly. There was a gentleness in his eyes. ¡°What if you really give birth to a daughter like you?¡±
Gu Chu was displeased. ¡°It hasn¡¯t even been born yet, and you already dislike it?¡±
¡°Because it¡¯s already very difficult to coax you. How can I handle the two of you?¡±
¡°Then don¡¯t.¡±
Feng Jia curved his lips.
How could he not.
Seeing that his hand hadn¡¯t moved away, Gu Chu couldn¡¯t help but cough lightly. ¡°Um, how¡¯s your brother?¡±
It was as if she had thrown a stone into the calm surface of the water, instantly breaking the romantic atmosphere.
His expression became a darker, and he continued to wipe her thigh. ¡°Since he dared to do this, he must have thought of a way to escape unscathed.¡±
Gu Chu nodded in agreement. ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±
¡°The person who sent me the flowers was Pan Zhen, and the one who kidnapped me was also Pan Zhen. There¡¯s no evidence to prove that he¡¯s rted to Feng Huai. He can just get awyer and be free.¡±
¡°Mm.¡± Feng Jia nodded.
¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Gu Chu smiled. ¡°If he¡¯s arrested, I really won¡¯t be able to settle the score with him!¡±
There was a feud between them now.
Actually, when Gu Chu was studying abroad, she had met Feng Huai twice.
The first time was at a restaurant, where they met and exchanged a few pleasantries. At that time, he had even treated her.
The other time was on the ne, when Mrs. Gu was suddenly hospitalized. She hurriedly booked a ne ticket back to the country, but it was booked in a rush, so she could only buy an economy-ss ticket.
Coincidentally, Feng Huai was on the same flight as her and even gave her his seat in the business ss. He said that she had to rest well so that she could take good care of her mother.
In short, she thought that he was quite a gentleman after meeting him twice.
But he turned out to be sick!
Chapter 166 - Was She Pregnant or Not?
Chapter 166: Was She Pregnant or Not?
¡°Should I wipe down there?¡± Feng Jia looked and asked.
¡°No!¡± Gu Chu tightened her grip on the quilt.
¡°Then go to sleep,¡± Feng Jia said. ¡°It¡¯s already one o¡¯clock in the morning.¡±
Gu Chu hurriedly nodded. ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡±
She had encountered too many things today. If he hadn¡¯t teased her just now, she would probably be thinking about the pregnancy for the entire night.
Feng Jia turned off the light, sat on the sofa, and opened hisptop.
There was only one bed in the single-person ward, and he didn¡¯t want to sleep in the foldable bed, so he spent several nights on the sofa.
He opened Wechat. Susan had just sent him a message a few minutes ago saying that Feng Huai was out of the police station with hiswyer.
He replied, ¡°Send someone to keep an eye on him.¡±
Susan replied, ¡°Understood.¡±
Then, he sent another message, ¡°Look for a few experienced maternity nurses. I want to pick one myself.¡±
Maternity nurses? Was it what she thought it was?
No wonder he rushed to the capital. She thought that it was just about his marriage, she did not expect that a child was involved.
As expected of CEO Feng! He acted quickly!
¡°Congrattions, CEO Feng.¡± Susan first congratted him, then said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll keep an eye out.¡±
Then, she asked, ¡°Do you want some custom-made baby¡¯s clothes?¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°She just got pregnant, there¡¯s no rush.¡±
But wasn¡¯t it too early to look for a maternity nurse now? Susan thought to herself, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do itter.¡±
Feng Jia opened his email again and went to sleep after dealing with some urgent emails.
He went to bed at two in the morning and naturally at six in the morning. When he woke up, he looked in Gu Chu¡¯s direction and saw that she had opened her eyes as well.
Feng Jia said to her, ¡°It¡¯s still early. You should sleep for a while. The report will onlye out at eight or nine in the morning.¡±
Gu Chu was worried about the report, which was why she woke up so early. However, after hearing what Feng Jia said, she could not resist the urge to sleep and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, it was already past ten o¡¯clock. Gu Chu overslept. The doctor had finished his ward round and the nurse had already arranged for an infusion for her.
She sat up in a daze and heard Feng Jia¡¯s voice outside the door. He was talking to the doctor, but it was too far away for her to hear.
She lifted the nket and got off the bed. She went closer.
She heard Feng Jia say, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then arrange for the surgery as soon as possible.¡±
Gu Chu had just woken up. When she heard that, she was stunned.
Surgery? What surgery? Abortion surgery?
He had already made the decision for her? !
Gu Chu was stunned at first, then her anger red up.
Even if he did not want this child, he should have discussed it with her. Why did he do that without saying a word?
Also, this was her body. Why couldn¡¯t she make the decision about her child?
Gu Chu was furious. She was on the verge of exploding. She pushed the door open and shouted, ¡°Feng Jia, this is my child. You have no right to decide whether it stays or goes!¡±
Feng Jia and the doctor both turned their heads. It was not that they did not expect her to hear them, but they did not expect her to be so angry. They were both stunned.
Feng Jia saw that she did not even wear her shoes. He frowned and said, ¡°Put on your shoes first.¡±
What? Why would they care about shoes now?
Gu Chu gritted her teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t change the topic!¡±
¡°Feng Jia, let me tell you. If you don¡¯t want a child, I¡¯ll raise it myself. I can afford it. Don¡¯t make your own decisions!¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°It¡¯s not what you think...¡±
Gu Chu wanted to hit him with the IV stand. ¡°I heard it with my own ears just now!¡±
Why was he still trying to argue?
¡°When will you learn to respect me? It¡¯s not the first time you¡¯ve been so chauvinistic!¡± Gu Chu was extremely disappointed. ¡°I have nothing more to say to you! Go! I don¡¯t want to see you!¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°...¡±
The doctor finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Miss Gu, um, you¡¯re not pregnant.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
What?!
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes widened.
The doctor said in a serious tone, ¡°Miss Gu, the HCG level in your blood hasn¡¯t increased. We can rule out the possibility of pregnancy.¡±
¡°But Mr. Feng said that you often feel nauseated, and your abdomen is swollen and painful. They are most severe when you¡¯re on an empty stomach, so we think that you may have gastric polyps.¡±
Gastric polyps?
Gu Chu stuttered, ¡°So, I¡¯m... not pregnant?
Chapter 167 - Not Pregnant
Chapter 167: Not Pregnant
Feng Jia pinched the spot between his brows and said nothing.
¡°No, it¡¯s most likely gastric polyps. We still need to do a gastroscopy first. Although it is not a big problem, you already showed symptoms. It¡¯s safer to perform the surgery and remove it as soon as possible. Mr. Feng was discussing this with us just now.¡±
Gu Chu:¡±...¡± So, it really wasn¡¯t an abortion?
She was shouting so loudly just now!
Heh.
Right now, she just wanted to disappear.
Before the Doctor left, he said, ¡°The gastroscopy that was canceled yesterday needs to be rescheduled. Miss Gu, don¡¯t eat anything in the morning. Someone will take you there. If it¡¯s really gastric polyps, it will need to be surgically removed.¡±
Gu Chu nodded.
Then, she turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up. However, Feng Jia grabbed the back of her neck. ¡°Put on your shoes first.¡±
Gu Chu was about to cry. ¡°Can you pretend that you didn¡¯t hear what I just said?¡±
Feng Jia sneered. ¡°No, am I not a chauvinist?¡±
Gu Chu pushed the IV stand back to the bed and curled up. ¡°I just lost a child. You can¡¯t be so cruel to me!¡±
¡°A child? A child growing in your stomach?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Gu Chu whimpered, ¡°I¡¯ve always said that it was a stomach problem! It was Feng Huai who insisted that I was pregnant! He even said it with such certainty that I believed him. Who knew that he would actually lie to me? !¡±
When Feng Jia received the results of the examination, it wasn¡¯t that he wasn¡¯t disappointed, but he was confused by this blunder.
Gu Chu¡¯s face was flushed red. ¡°I¡¯m so embarrassed.¡±
His tone was very t. ¡°I told you to go for the examination a long time ago, but you kept dragging it out. Who can you me now?¡±
¡°I me you!¡± The little vixen said confidently. ¡°You clearly said that you would go with mest time, but you stood me up and went to see a client. If you had gone with me to the examination that time, there wouldn¡¯t have been such a big misunderstanding.¡±
Fortunately, she had only told Lin Yin. If she got emotional and posted it on her Wechat moments, Meng Lang and the others wouldugh at her for the rest of their lives!
However, even if she didn¡¯t post it on her Wechat moments, she couldn¡¯t avoid beingughed at.
The doctor had treated Gu Chu¡¯s incident as a joke and shared it with his colleagues, and the person who was giving her the gastroscopy was her cousin!
It wasn¡¯t Lu Shen, but a cousin on her mother¡¯s side.
The moment he saw Gu Chu, heughed so hard that heid on the table, his shoulders trembling under his white coat. ¡°Hahahahaha, I was wondering which patient was so weird thinking that her child was in the stomach. It turns out to be you!¡±
¡°...¡±
Gu Chu really wanted to disappear! Earth could no longer amodate her!
This cousin had his mother¡¯s surname and was called Pei Xin. He was a gastroenterologist. On the surface, he looked serious, but in fact, he was the one who liked to see her make a fool of herself the most out of all her rtives!
He was the one who shouted Gu Chu¡¯s nickname the most. However, now that her stomach was in his hands, she dared not be angry and say anything.
Sheid on the hospital bed sullenly, thinking that she would settle the score with him when she recovered in the future!
As Pei Xin examined her, he mocked her, ¡°Cousin, if you had told me about your symptoms earlier, you wouldn¡¯t have thought that you were pregnant. Now, everyone in our department is talking about it. In this day and age, there are actually people who think that children grow in their stomachs!¡±
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that children grow in the stomach. I thought that I was pregnant!¡±
She wasn¡¯t a fool!
¡°Oh.¡± Pei Xin held the endoscope. ¡°Come on, open your mouth. Let me see my unborn nephew.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
When would this joke pass?
After a series of examinations, Gu Chu¡¯s stomach was fine. They finally confirmed that the problem was in her small intestine.
Pei Xin¡¯s expression became more serious. He walked out and said to Feng Jia alone, ¡°Gu Chu has a tumor in her small intestine. We won¡¯t know if it¡¯s benign until we do the pathology.¡±
Feng Jia nodded and asked worriedly, ¡°Why does she have a tumor?¡±
¡°It could be lifestyle, or hereditary.¡±
At this moment, Gu Chu was supported out by the nurse. When she heard this, she said, ¡°I don¡¯t drink and I¡¯ve always eaten healthily.¡±
¡°It might be hereditary,¡± Pei Xin said. ¡°You can only eat after two hours.¡±
¡°My parents don¡¯t have this disease.¡± Gu Chu swallowed ufortably. ¡°Can¡¯t I drink water?¡±
Chapter 168 - Her Blood Type
Chapter 168: Her Blood Type
¡°There are no other symptoms in the early stages of this disease. It¡¯s simr to what you have now. Later, tell your parents toe for a check up as well.¡±
As Pei Xin spoke, he took out a box of lozenges from the pocket of his white robe and gave her one. ¡°Keep it in your mouth. You can only drink water after two hours.¡±
As he spoke, he closed the lid and ced it in her pocket.
Now, they could only wait for the pathology report toe out before they could start the surgery.
However, Gu Chu¡¯s respiratory tract had a moderate infection after she was trapped in the fire. Her red blood cells and other indexes had not fully returned to the normal range yet, so if they really wanted to carry out the surgery, they would have to wait until she had recovered from the infection before they could do it.
Fortunately, medical science was advanced now. There was no need to cut open her abdomen. It could be done withparoscopy.
Pei Xin was still at work and could not leave the department for too long. Before he went back, he remembered something. ¡°Gu Chu, should I prepare blood just in case? What is your blood type?¡±
Gu Chu shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ve never checked before.¡±
Although she did her physical examination every year, she didn¡¯t check her blood type.
She said nonchntly, ¡°My parents are B and O. I must be one of the two.¡±
But Pei Xin couldn¡¯t just choose randomly. He said, ¡°Later, get the nurse to draw some blood for a blood type test.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell my parents that I¡¯m in the hospital.¡±
Pei Xin smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve grown up. You know how to report good news but not bad news.¡±
Gu Chu had already returned to the hospital bed. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to report the bad news, but she already knew her position in the family, so she didn¡¯t want to be pitied.
After repeated failures, if she still could not protect herself, then she was really too stupid.
Feng Jia remembered the time. Two hourster, he poured a cup of warm water for her to drink. ¡°Are you in a bad mood?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°I thought I was really pregnant.¡±
She was a little disappointed. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. Why did Feng Huai insist that I was?¡±
If he hadn¡¯t said it so confidently, she wouldn¡¯t have this misunderstanding.
She reached out and hooked his belt. ¡°Ask him for me.¡±
Feng Jia: ¡°You want to have a child?¡±
Gu Chu looked down. ¡°Not that.¡±
She didn¡¯t want Feng Jia to misunderstand. She bought condoms to avoid this. She stepped back and said, ¡°It might be difficult to exin this feeling to you. It¡¯s like... I didn¡¯t want to have sex here, but you insisted, so I started to get in the mood. But we realized that we forgot the condom in the middle of making out, don¡¯t you think that would be disappointing?¡±
Feng Jia covered her mouth. ¡°When can you be moredylike?¡±
Gu Chu snorted. ¡°In the next life.¡±
He was the one who mentioned itst night.
They were two peas in a pod.
However, Gu Chu was not in the mood to continue the banter. She held her chest with some lingering fear. ¡°It¡¯s fine if the child is gone. It¡¯s fine if I make a fool of myself in public, but now I have to go into surgery. It makes me sad just thinking about it.¡±
¡°It¡¯s just a minor surgery. It won¡¯t be a problem.¡± He pinched her cheek. ¡°Or should I transfer you to a private hospital?¡±
A private doctor¡¯s post-operative care was more thorough, and the facilities were moreplete.
Gu Chu thought for a moment, but she shook her head. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m more afraid of other people performing surgery on me. I¡¯ll feel more at ease if Pei Xin is my chief surgeon.¡±
Lin Yu, who had just walked in, heard this. ¡°What do you mean by performing a surgery?¡±
Gu Chu raised her head and nced at Feng Jia.
Although they worked togetherst night, their rtionship did not seem to have changed. They only nodded slightly in greeting.
She grew up with most of the people around her. Therefore, Gu Chu¡¯s feelings for Lin Yu were almost the same as his feelings for Meng Lang.
Moreover, she did not think that Lin Yu had any other feelings toward her. However, Feng Jia was certain that he had feelings for her.
In order to appease the King of Jealousy, she subconsciously distanced herself from Lin Yu.
¡°Lin Yu.¡±
Lin Yu asked with concern, ¡°How are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ve troubled yesterday.¡±
Lin Yu paused, then smiled faintly. ¡°In that case, it would be wrong for me not to help, right?¡±
¡°But I still have to thank you. You¡¯ve helped me so much. We¡¯ll treat you to a mealter.¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Chu in surprise.
Gu Chu raised her eyes and looked back at him. Feng Jia, I treated you well, right?
How should you repay me?
Chapter 169 - Three Options
Chapter 169: Three Options
Lin Yu nodded. ¡°I heard you talking about an operation when I came in just now. What kind of operation?¡±
Gu Chu did not think much of it. ¡°After an examination, they found a tumor growing on my small intestine. It requires an operation to remove it. It¡¯s not too serious. It¡¯ll be fine once it¡¯s removed.¡±
Lin Yu did not know thetest news, so he asked, ¡°You¡¯re pregnant, so you can¡¯t have an operation, right?¡±
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not pregnant.¡±
Lin Yu was stunned. ¡°What?¡±
Gu Chuughed dryly. ¡°It¡¯s just that my stomach and intestines aren¡¯t feeling well. It was just a misunderstanding.¡±
Lin Yu rubbed his fingers.
He had not slept the whole night. The blood vessels in his eyes seemed to havepletely faded at this moment.
His tone was a little more rxed than when he came in. ¡°You haven¡¯t recovered from your infection. Can you do the surgery now?¡±
Gu Chu said that it was not a problem. ¡°I¡¯ll do it after I recover.¡±
¡°I remember that you have a cousin who is a gastroenterologist. Is he doing the surgery?¡±
¡°He will be the chief surgeon.¡± The more Gu Chu talked about it, the more her head hurt. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about something else. The more I talk about this, the more scared I am.¡±
The nurse came back. Feng Jia had just asked her to buy some porridge. The nurse asked, ¡°I waste just now. The porridge is a little cold. Do you still want to eat it?¡±
Feng Jia reached out. ¡°Give it to me.¡±
He first pressed his wrist against the the bowl to test the temperature before feeding it to Gu Chu.
Lin Yu also pulled out a chair and sat down. ¡°Have you seen thetest news?¡±
Gu Chu really didn¡¯t have time to read the news, so she asked, ¡°What news?¡±
As she asked, she picked up her phone and scrolled through it.
¡°Theizens said that the girl¡¯s body was underground for 20 years. If we have any conscience, we shouldn¡¯t disturb her spirit and should stop work,¡± Lin Yu summarized for her.
Li Xiu¡¯s case became popr because of the fire. All kinds of rumors were spread on the inte. While theizens condemned Li Xiu and her family, they sympathized more with the girl who was murdered. Therefore, there were also voices of opposition to the Sky Garden Project.
There was even encouragement to boycott the Sky Garden Project.
¡°There must be someone behind this, right?¡± Otherwise, why would they be so unified? It looked like they bought a troll army. Gu Chu frowned, ¡°Is someone jealous, so they secretly bought a troll army to stop our project?¡±
Lin Yu nodded. ¡°It¡¯s indeed ourpetitor, but since the wind has already started blowing, we need to properly handle it. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be good for the project.¡±
Feng Jia listened by the side and fed her a mouthful of porridge from time to time. Gu Chu swallowed and said, ¡°What did the public rtions department say?¡±
Lin Yu replied, ¡°They came up with three possible solutions.¡±
¡°First, let the girl¡¯s familye forward and tell them how they¡¯ve been searching for their daughter all these years. If it wasn¡¯t for the project, who knows how long they would continue searching. Then, we¡¯ll use thepany¡¯s name topensate them.¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°This is an old trick.¡±
¡°The second n is quite novel,¡± Lin Yu said. ¡°Murder mystery games have been quite popr recently. When the matter has died down in the future, we¡¯ll use the site as the location for a murder mystery game. This should be able to attract the young people.¡±
Gu Chu had just had a gastroscopy, and her throat felt a little ufortable. Now that she heard this rotten idea, she almost choked. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too disgusting?¡±
¡°Then there¡¯s only one option left.¡±
Lin Yu continued, ¡°You were the victim of this incident to begin with, and it was you who first noticed that there was something wrong with Li Xiu. The reporters wanted to interview you. If you¡¯re willing toe forward and tell us what happened, then all the spections will stop.¡±
The headline of the news would be that the project manager of Sky Garden, Ms. Gu, had identally solved a cold case.
Sky Garden would also take advantage of this poprity.
Feng Jia had already sensed that something was wrong and nced at Lin Yu.
After Gu Chu ate a mouthful of porridge, she finally reacted. ¡°Lin Yu, are you scheming against me? The first two ns were just a front.¡±
Lin Yu could not help butugh out loud.
Indeed, it was all a ploy.
Gu Chu was speechless. ¡°CEO Lin, you¡¯re really good at holding back the truth!¡±
Lin Yu coughed lightly. ¡°But the third n is indeed the most feasible one.¡±
That day, when she had just woken up, Lin Yu had asked her if she wanted to ept an interview with the reporters. She had rejected it back then, but now she really did not want to.
Chapter 170 - My Baby is So Smart
Chapter 170: My Baby is So Smart
¡°If my experience is reported, I will definitely be famous. Poprity attracts negative attention, I don¡¯t want that.¡±
Although Gu Chu was ostentatious, she knew her limits. If she really wanted to be in the eyes of the public, she would definitely be talked about!
However, what Lin Yu said was not without reason. This was indeed the best option.
Gu Chu was hesitating. Feng Jia put down the empty bowl. His eyes were clear and he said, ¡°Let the policee forward to show more authority.¡±
Gu Chu and Lin Yu looked at him at the same time.
Gu Chu thought about it carefully. It did make sense.
If the police described the case to the public, they could mention Gu Chu. However, by using her alias, no one would know it was her. Only a few people knew the inside story.
Gu Chu hugged his neck and said with a smile, ¡°Baby, you¡¯re so smart!¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes were full of smiles. It was infectious. The corners of Feng Jia¡¯s mouth curled up and he held her waist with one hand.
Lin Yu turned his head away. Feng Jia said in a low voice, ¡°CEO Lin is still here. Don¡¯t embarrass yourself.¡±
Gu Chu realized that she seemed too happy and sat back on the bed. She cleared her throat and said, ¡°Lin Yu, what do you think? Why don¡¯t we let the police step in?¡±
Lin Yu nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll discuss it with the police.¡±
Gu Chu curved her lips. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡±
¡°I have to return to Haicheng City in the afternoon. I have work to deal with and will be back before your surgery. Do you need anything?¡± Lin Yu asked.
Gu Chu thought for a moment and turned around. ¡°No.¡±
¡°Then you should rest well. I¡¯ll contact you again.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Lin Yu stood up and put the chair back to its original position. He asked Feng Jia, ¡°CEO Feng, can we talk in private?¡±
Gu Chu blinked. Feng Jia stood up and went out with him.
The corridor was very quiet. The two men were tall and slender. Their heights were almost the same, but their temperaments werepletely different.
Lin Yu¡¯s tone had always been gentle. ¡°Although it¡¯s not my ce, Gu Chu treats me like a brother, so I have to say something.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s expression was unintelligible, and his tone was polite and distant. ¡°CEO Lin, tell me.¡±
¡°Based on what Feng Huai didst night, he probably won¡¯t stop. Gu Chu is your fianc¨¦e, so he will target her.¡± Lin Yu said, ¡°So, please protect her.¡±
Since Gu Chu had chosen him, he should ensure Gu Chu¡¯s safety.
It was just a false rmst night, but it didn¡¯t mean that it would be a false rm in the future.
Feng Jia looked like he agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll remember what you said.¡±
Lin Yu nodded. He nced at Gu Chu¡¯s ward before he left.
Feng Jia stood in the corridor for a while before returning to the ward.
Gu Chu¡¯s secretary was also there. She came to see Gu Chu in a wheelchair. There was a man standing beside her. When he saw Feng Jia enter, he instinctively became nervous and greeted, ¡°CEO Feng!¡±
The man beside her was her boyfriend. She introduced him, ¡°This is my director¡¯s fianc¨¦, CEO Feng of the Feng Corporation.¡±
The Feng Corporation¡¯s reputation was well known. It could be said that everyone knew about it. Her boyfriend quickly extended his hand. ¡°Hello, CEO Feng.¡±
However, before Feng Jia could shake his hand, the secretary pushed his hand away. Not everyone could shake CEO Feng¡¯s hand.
Only CEOs and business tycoons could shake his hand. If an ordinary person were to shake it, they would not end well!
The secretary said to Gu Chu, ¡°Director, rest well. We¡¯ll go back first.¡±
¡°You too,¡± Gu Chu said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about work. Xiao Chen will help me.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
After the secretary and her boyfriend left, Gu Chu picked up her phone and typed a message. ¡°I¡¯m asking aunty to pack some things for me. Do you need anything?¡±
Feng Jia raised his eyebrows as if he was asking, why didn¡¯t you say anything when Lin Yu was here?
Gu Chu said slowly, ¡°Am I not considering someone¡¯s feelings? Anyway, a colleague ising to the capital on a business trip, so I¡¯ll ask her to help bring it over.¡±
Feng Jia reached out and hooked her chin. ¡°You¡¯re so nice today?¡±
¡°I¡¯m demonstrating to you what it means to be a good girlfriend. Lin Yu and I have nothing going on, but since you don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll keep my distance and give you a sense of security. Do you understand now?¡±
Gu Chu looked at him. ¡°You should treat me the same way.¡±
Hearing her speak with conviction, he replied, ¡°Okay.¡±
Chapter 171 - Gu Chu’s Blood Type
Chapter 171: Gu Chu¡¯s Blood Type
Gu Chu still wanted to say something, but Feng Jia had already lowered his head to kiss her.
His breathing was very heavy, and the force of his tongue had also increased. Gu Chu was dizzy when she heard him say in a hoarse voice, ¡°Hurry up and get better.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes were moist, and there was a luster on her lips. ¡°Hmm?¡±
Feng Jia pressed on and bit her lips again. ¡°We haven¡¯t done it in a while.¡±
Huh? He¡¯s in the mood again?
But it was true that they hadn¡¯t done it in a while.
For the next three days, Gu Chu needed to be given fluids to treat the infection. Feng Jia didn¡¯t leave her side at all.
Feng Jia had been staying in the capital for almost half a month. Even Lin Yu had to leave because of work, but he didn¡¯t even have the intention to leave.
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Feng Jia, is it really okay if you don¡¯t go back to Haicheng City?¡±
Feng Jia looked up at her. ¡°You want me to go back?¡±
The pathology showed that the tumor was benign, so the surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
But after the surgery, she had to stay in the hospital for observations for a few days, so it would take at least a week more.
Gu Chu held her chin and asked curiously, ¡°Did youe to the capital to catch me and brother Lin Yu having an affair?¡±
Feng Jia said calmly, ¡°That¡¯s what you thought.¡±
So it wasn¡¯t?
¡°Then why are you here?¡±
Feng Jia lowered his eyes and nced at the suitcase next to him.
The innermost one had the household registration booklet that he had taken from the Gu family. He had not told her about it until now.
He looked at Gu Chu. ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter.¡±
Heh, quite mysterious.
*
Pei Xin had just finished performing surgery and was about to return to his office when he was suddenly stopped by a female doctor. ¡°Doctor Pei.¡±
Pei Xin turned around. ¡°Doctor Lu.¡±
Doctor Lu walked with him. ¡°So Miss Gu is your cousin?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
The female doctor smiled. ¡°No wonder you wanted to prepare blood so early.¡±
Normally, after removing this type of tumor, the probability of bleeding was low, so there should not be any need for backup blood.
However, since she was a rtive of Doctor Pei, he thought that it would be safer to prepare some.
The female doctor was from theboratory department. Pei Xin asked casually, ¡°Has her blood type been tested?¡±
Doctor Lu said, ¡°It¡¯s out. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll send it to you right away.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡±
After Doctor Lu printed the report, she handed it to him.
Pei Xin received the report and walked to his office.
He did not realize that Doctor Lu was trying to talk to him.
Pei Xin took the report and took a ss of water. Just as he was about to drink it, his gaze suddenly froze when he saw the words on the report.
His hand almost lost its grip on the ss of water.
At noon, Feng Jia ordered food from the restaurant that Gu Chu atest time. However, he did not eat with Gu Chu. Instead, he borrowed an empty ward to hold an international meeting.
The blisters on Gu Chu¡¯s hand were healed, so eating was not a big problem. When she saw the person in front of her, she scolded, ¡°Why did youe to my ward to y games? Don¡¯t you have to go to work? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I might report you!¡±
Pei Xinyzily on the sofa. He stretched out his long legs and ced them under the coffee table. He did care about his appearance at all.
¡°Lunch break.¡± Pei Xin did not even lift his eyes. He said casually, ¡°The inte speed here is good.¡±
However, Gu Chu heard the voice saying ¡°defeated¡±ing from his phone. She immediately mocked him, ¡°Loser who still wants to keep going!¡±
Pei Xin looked at her coldly and mocked mercilessly, ¡°Better than someone who thinks that she is pregnant because of a tumor. Why don¡¯t I let you keep it as a souvenir? After all, it¡¯s your first child.¡±
Gu Chu did not back down. ¡°Sure, when I¡¯m discharged from the hospital, I¡¯ll tell your parents that you did this to me.¡±
¡°Go on then. Who¡¯s afraid of you?¡±
It was strange that he was not afraid of his mom today.
Gu Chu looked at him like she was in a bad mood. However, she could not be bothered with him and ordered him to leave. ¡°This is my ward. You¡¯re not weed here. You should leave.¡±
Pei Xin was ¡°killed¡± again. He stretched and looked at Gu Chu. ¡°Gu Yi, can we talk?¡±
Gu Chu was expressionless. ¡°Try calling me by my nickname again?¡±
¡°Gu Chu.¡± Pei Xin sat beside her bed and said calmly, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Do you want to talk?¡±
Gu Chu looked at him up and down. ¡°Sure, but help me peel the prawns first.¡±
Pei Xin nced at the other dishes. The boiled prawns had not been touched. It was obvious that she was waiting for someone to peel them for her.
Chapter 172 - Are You Sick?
Chapter 172: Are You Sick?
Pei Xin was expressionless. ¡°Do you think this is your house?¡±
Gu Chu was unashamed. ¡°If you don¡¯t do it, I won¡¯t talk to you.¡±
¡°Fine.¡± Pei Xin gritted his teeth.
He washed his hands and peeled the prawns for her. ¡°Starting from tomorrow, you have to watch what you eat. A week after the surgery, you can eat liquid food. After a month, you can eat normally but avoid spicy food.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Gu Chu bit on her chopsticks. ¡°How long will it take for me to...¡±
Have sex again?
Pei Xin was puzzled. ¡°To?¡±
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t get the question out of her mouth. She decided to look it up on the inteter. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. What do you want to talk to me about?¡±
This time, it was Pei Xin¡¯s turn to ask.
He thought of the blood type report and the way Mr. and Mrs. Gu treated Gu Chu for the past twenty years. Gu Chu was pampered in the family before Gu Wan came back.
He liked to bully Gu Chu before because he did not like the fact that she was so spoiled. Therefore, who would have known that she was not¡
However, he should not be the one to say this.
Pei Xin changed the topic. ¡°Anyway, since you¡¯re having the surgery, do you want to have your appendix removed as well?¡±
What?
Gu Chu raised her eyes. ¡°Are you sick?¡±
Why would she want to be stabbed twice?
Pei Xin put the peeled shrimp into his mouth and took a wet towel to wipe his hands. ¡°I¡¯m going to work.¡±
¡°...¡±
Pei Xin swaggered off.
Gu Chu was done with him. ¡°I have two cousins, but why is there such a big difference between them? Lu Shen is so nice, he even gave me a car!¡±
Pei Xin stopped in his tracks and turned around. ¡°Theparoscopy won¡¯t hurt much, so I won¡¯t give you anesthesia, ok? You don¡¯t think I¡¯m good anyway.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Pei Xin turned around and left.
However, he did not return to the department directly. Instead, he turned into an empty ward, closed the door, and gave his mother a call.
He could not handle this matter, so it was better to leave it to the elders.
Pei Xin¡¯s mother was rather surprised to receive the call at this time. ¡°Son, why are you calling me at this time?¡±
¡°Lunch break.¡± Pei Xin walked straight to the bedside, forgetting the fact that although there was no one else in the room, there was a closedptop on the bed.
Feng Jia happened to be working in this room, washing his hands in the bathroom. Just as he was about to go out, he heard Pei Xin¡¯s voice.
¡°Do you know if my aunt¡¯s blood type is B or O?¡±
His mother was stunned. ¡°Your father said that both of them are blood type B. Why are you asking about this?¡±
She was blood type B, which meant that Mr. Gu was blood type O.
So, the problem was with Mrs. Gu?
Pei Xin suddenly felt that he knew too much.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, ¡°Gu Chu has been in my hospital recently. Her blood type is...¡±
Feng Jia listened to the conversation. His hand was still on the handle, but he did not move it.
After Mrs. Pei heard her son¡¯s words, she was stunned for a long time. Her tone suddenly became serious. ¡°You must not tell anyone else about this, let alone Gu Chu. I¡¯ll call your aunt.¡±
¡°Okay,¡± Pei Xin said.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Feng Jia walked out of the bathroom. Looking at the tightly shut door, he frowned slightly, pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were filled with emotions.
This afternoon, Feng Jia did not go back to Gu Chu¡¯s ward.
Gu Chu thought that he was working, so she did not think much of it. She was also busy with her own work.
She called Xiao Chen from the Department of Commerce to handle her work. She was going to have the surgery the day after tomorrow, so of course, she had to do as much as she could.
Xiao Chen took some time out of his busy schedule and sent a message to the department group that did not have Gu Chu in it, ¡°I will neverin about being busy with work again. The director is still on IV drip and she will be entering the operating theater the day after tomorrow, yet she is still working, I really respect her.¡±
¡°Respect + 1¡±
¡°Respect + 2¡±
¡°Respect + N¡±
Before she knew it, it was evening. Gu Chu¡¯s work hade to an end. She closed theputer and said to Xiao Chen, ¡°Bring the documents that need to be signed tomorrow afternoon. Don¡¯te the day after tomorrow.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Xiao Chen packed his things and went back.
Gu Chuy back on the bed and called Feng Jia. ¡°Haven¡¯t you finished your work yet?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve ordered food and sent it over. You eat first. I still need two more hours. If you need anything, call the nurse,¡± he replied immediately.
Gu Chu clicked her tongue.
Before this, he had never left her side. But after some time he was longer as zealous. Now, he actually disappeared for an entire afternoon.
Chapter 173 - She Wore His Shirt
Chapter 173: She Wore His Shirt
She calcted the time. He would be back in two hours, around eight o¡¯clock.
Well, okay, it wasn¡¯t toote.
She still had business with him.
After a while, the delivery man arrived. Gu Chu finished her meal and went to take a shower.
It was almost eight o¡¯clock when she finished her shower, but Feng Jia wasn¡¯t back yet.
Gu Chu opened the door of the ward and looked outside.
This floor only had private wards and had always been rtively quiet. But she did not know how good the soundproofing was.
Gu Chu walked out and looked at the ward on her left and right.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±
Gu Chu touched her nose, ¡°Nothing.¡±
Nothing? Why was she sneakily looking at someone else¡¯s ward? Feng Jia also took a look and brought Gu Chu back.
Gu Chu tilted her head and smelled a faint gardenia scent on his jacket. So he left the hospital in the afternoon?
¡°Where did you go?¡±
¡°To take care of things.¡±
His answer was so vague that Gu Chu knew it was not convenient for him to say it out loud. Since that was the case, she did not ask anymore.
Gu Chu sat back on the bed and looked straight at Feng Jia.
He took off his coat and ced it on the armrest of the sofa. Then, he took off his belt and ced it on the coffee table. When he turned around and met her unreserved gaze, he asked, ¡°What are you looking at?¡±
Gu Chu answered shamelessly, ¡°I¡¯m looking at you taking off your clothes. Don¡¯t stop, continue!¡±
A faint smile shed across Feng Jia¡¯s eyes as he raised his hand to unbutton his shirt.
Gu Chu was still a little surprised that he was so cooperative today. He undid his shirt button one by one. She held her neck and it seemed like she could not get enough of him.
In the next second, he took off the shirt and threw it at her.
The world turned dark.
Gu Chu was stunned and quickly took off the shirt on her head. The man had already swaggered into the bathroom, not giving her a chance to look at his body at all.
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Fine.
She held the shirt in her hand and sniffed it. It waste autumn, and even in the capital city, it was very cool. There was no smell of sweat on the shirt, only a faint smell of fir wood.
Gu Chu rolled her eyes, then took off her hospital gown and changed into his shirt.
When Feng Jia came out of the shower, he saw her wearing the ck shirt which made her skin look even fairer, and her exposed legs looked extremely attractive.
He stopped wiping his hair. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Gu Chu pointed at the door behind him. ¡°Close the door first.¡±
Feng Jia obediently closed the door.
Gu Chu then said slowly, ¡°I did some research online this afternoon to know how long before we can have sex after the surgery.¡±
Feng Jia looked at her in surprise.
Even if she did not say it out loud, he understood what she meant.
Gu Chu stretched out her hand and gestured. ¡°Someone said that the wound will take at least a month to heal. I feel that starving you for such a long time will not be good.¡±
Feng Jia walked towards her with deep eyes. ¡°So?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll start preparing for the surgery tomorrow. Tonight seems to be yourst chance to eat your fill. Do you want it?¡±
Eh! She regretted it immediately after saying that! It was so embarrassing!
She thought that she wouldn¡¯t be embarrassed.
There was one thing that was good between them, which was that they were very honest. If they wanted it, they would say it. They were never stingy with each other¡¯s desires.
His voice deepened. ¡°Who was the one who said that we shouldn¡¯t y hospital games?¡±
Gu Chu blinked. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go out and get a room now?¡±
Feng Jia closed the curtains and looked down at her. ¡°Lie down.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s heart thumped faster, and he said weakly, ¡°Can you be more polite? I didn¡¯t force you to do this kind of thing...¡±
Feng Jia immediately covered her chattering lips.
She took the opportunity to hug his neck andy on the bed.
His hand reached down and there was no barrier at all. He reached in immediately.
Gu Chu couldn¡¯t help but straighten her neck. Heughed. ¡°Just in time to start.¡±
He cursed, but his fingers were very deep in.
Her hand reached into his pajama pants. Her fingers felt the burning sensation, and her fingertips trembled slightly. She felt like she wanted to escape.
However, he did not allow her to leave. ¡°Take it out.¡±
Gu Chu:¡±?¡±
CEO Feng had also started to act rashly today?
Gu Chu took out a condom from the pocket of his shirt, and was about to put it on him.
However, he stopped her.
Before Gu Chu could understand what he meant, her legs were lifted up by him, and her knees were pressed against each other.
Gu Chu almost dropped the condom, ¡°you!¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were dark. ¡°We¡¯ll do something else today.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
So, he was okay with not entering?
Chapter 174 - Her Father was Here
Chapter 174: Her Father was Here
The hospital was very quiet, but there was some unusual noise in the ward. The sound of water sloshing.
Feng Jia was very good. Gu Chu even suspected that he left the hospital today to learn this.
Or skills in bed are self-taught?
She thought so.
Feng Jia rarely spoke at times like this, but she was wearing his shirt. The corners of her eyes were red and she looked very adorable. He reached out to pry open her mouth and teased her tongue, in the end, he answered, ¡°No, I went to see a client this afternoon.¡±
¡°...¡±
His fingers stopped her from continuing to ask.
She tilted her head and spat out his fingers. When she remembered where his hands were, she could not help but spit twice. ¡°What client? Didn¡¯t you stay in the capital to take care of me? What client is more important than me?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Not as important as you.¡±
Gu Chu immediately grunted happily.
After that, Gu Chu looked at the bed sheet with some annoyance, thinking about how she would exin it to the nurse tomorrow?
Or should she just say that she identally spilled a bottle of lotion?
The next morning, Gu Chu was woken up by the sound of someone talking.
The night before, she had used up too much energy, so she opened her eyes in a daze. The first thing she saw was that she had changed to another ward. She was shocked and sat up abruptly, but she fell back down again.
Because her waist was too sore!
Then, a hand held her shoulder. He asked in a concerned tone, ¡°Chu Chu, what¡¯s wrong? Are you not feeling well?¡±
Gu Chu turned around in surprise and saw her father!
¡°Dad?! Why are you here?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t even tell us that you¡¯re having a surgery. I only found out after your cousin told your aunt and your aunt called us.¡± Mr. Gu looked at her with a reproachful look.
Gu Chu looked around in a daze. Pei Xin was sitting in the ward. Pei Xin snorted, ¡°Did you sleep well?¡±
¡°She slept for twelve hours.¡± Feng Jia walked in. His voice was clear.
Seeing him, Gu Chu felt more at ease.
She just had sex with the night before, and when she opened her eyes the next day, she saw her father. Anyone would be shocked, right?
Feng Jia understood her gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He walked to her side and looked at her. ¡°I¡¯ve changed you to a bigger ward.¡±
Mr. Gu didn¡¯t understand but nodded anyway. ¡°Yes, a bigger ward will be morefortable for you to stay in.¡±
Gu Chu blinked and didn¡¯t say anything. She thought to herself, the messy bed sheets should have been cleaned already, right?
Otherwise, it would really be embarrassing.
She quietly calmed herself down and then asked her father, ¡°Dad, did youe this morning?¡±
¡°Yes, I caught the earliest flight this morning. You¡¯ll have the surgery tomorrow, so I¡¯ll definitely have to watch over you.¡±
Although Gu Chu had told Pei Xin not to tell her parents, she still hoped that someone would care about her when she was sick. Now that she heard him say this, she was a little moved and said, ¡°Okay.¡±
Feng Jia handed a lunchbox to Mr. Gu. ¡°I¡¯ve bought breakfast. You should go and eat first.¡±
Mr. Gu took it. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m a little hungry.¡±
Then he looked at Gu Chu. ¡°Your cousin said that you¡¯re fasting today, so I won¡¯t eat in front of you. I don¡¯t want you to be hungry.¡±
Pei Xin said, ¡°Uncle,e with me. Let¡¯s eat in the dining hall.¡±
Mr. Gu left with Pei Xin.
Gu Chu stared at her father. It was as if she had returned to the time when Gu Wan had not returned, when his father loved her so much.
Feng Jia turned to her side. His tall body blocked her view.
He was wearing a ck shirt today. It was a little different from the one he worest night. Her face turned red. She could not help but think about how she had worn his shirtst night.
Was the shirt in the bathroom?
Yes, he didn¡¯t waste the condom from yesterday. They stood under the shower and did it again.
The adult scene shed through Gu Chu¡¯s mind quickly. Feng Jia didn¡¯t know what she was thinking and thought that she was touched by the fact that her father had flown over to see her. He asked, ¡°Touched?¡±
¡°No,¡± Gu Chu was annoyed. ¡°My waist is still sore. Do you think you went too farst night? It¡¯s as if it was thest time I had sex with you.¡±
Feng Jia was a little amused. ¡°Then lie down and I¡¯ll massage your waist.¡±
CEO Feng¡¯s service was naturally hard toe by. Gu Chuid down impolitely and waited for his service.
Chapter 175 - Feng Jia’s Massage
Chapter 175: Feng Jia¡¯s Massage
Feng Jia reached into the nket and massaged her waist through her hospital gown.
His movements were neither light nor heavy, and he massaged the right spot. It was veryfortable. Gu Chu narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. ¡°Since there¡¯s such a spacious ward, why did you only arrange it for me now?¡±
This ward was twice as big as the one she had stayed in before, and the bed was twice as big as well. The bed in the ward yesterday was small, and it was really not enough for her.
Feng Jia sat by the side of the bed. His hands started to wander while he massaged her. As he rubbed, he said, ¡°They just finished cleaning it up yesterday.¡±
In other words, this ward didn¡¯t exist before yesterday?
Gu Chu understood that it was the power of money.
She didn¡¯t know where Feng Jia was massaging, but Gu Chu¡¯s body suddenly trembled. It wasn¡¯t that she was ufortable, instead she was toofortable.
Suddenly, he said, ¡°You didn¡¯t have to be so emotional when you saw your dad.¡±
Gu Chu twisted her body like a caterpir. ¡°What are you talking about? Feng Jia, don¡¯t touch anywhere you want, It¡¯s itchy! ! !¡±
She grabbed his hand. ¡°Are you giving me a massage, or are you looking for my sensitive spot?¡±
Where was he touching?
Feng Jia said calmly and seriously, ¡°do I need to look for your sensitive spot?¡±
Shameless!
Gu Chu refused to let him continue. She pushed his hand away and wrapped the nket around her tightly.
Feng Jia twisted his wrist and said, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to be so touched. Your aunt told your mother about your hospitalization. It wouldn¡¯t make sense if they didn¡¯te to see you.¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°Are you saying that my father didn¡¯t mean it when he came to see me? He just didn¡¯t want others to talk about it?¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were like torches. ¡°Do you really think that they know nothing about what happened to you?¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips.
Impossible. She had been dealing with work for the past few days. The people in thepany already knew about it.
Besides, even if she didn¡¯t tell them, her secretary would.
If someone asked, the secretary would definitely tell them everything.
Therefore, her parents might have known about the fire and the kidnapping. They didn¡¯t have any reaction to her near-death experience, but because of her aunt¡¯s phone call, they pretended to only know about it then and rushed over.
From the looks of it, it did seem like they were putting on a show.
¡°Oh,¡± Gu Chu replied.
¡°Don¡¯t be sad. You¡¯ve already seen through them, so don¡¯t expect anything from them. Make sure you see things clearly.¡±
Gu Chu looked up suspiciously. ¡°Why do I feel like you have more opinions about my parents than I do?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°I just don¡¯t want to see someone get into a car ident or get drunk again.¡±
¡°...¡±
The moment he mentioned it, she thought of the p and how her heart had hurt that day.
She clicked her tongue. ¡°You said it well, but don¡¯t mention it again.¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything more.
He just didn¡¯t want Gu Chu to have too much hope. Otherwise, she would be greatly disappointed.
Feng Jia looked between her legs and asked, ¡°Do you want to apply some medicine?¡±
Gu Chu was initially touched by her father¡¯s visit, but now that she realized the truth, although she was feeling a little down, she did not care as much as before.
Hearing his question, she looked at his hand and asked, ¡°Where did you get the medicine?¡±
¡°This is the hospital.¡±
Her eyes widened, ¡°Feng Jia, if you dare to buy this again from the hospital, I will kill you!¡±
If Pei Xin found out about this, he would definitely mock her again!
Feng Jia sneered. ¡°Show me your Wechat.¡±
¡°What? Look at your nickname.¡± Gu Chu was vignt. ¡°It¡¯s definitely good. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
He stretched out his hand. She pursed her lips and ced the phone in his palm. He unlocked her phone and opened Wechat. His eyes instantly narrowed.
Gu Chu went over to take a look.
Huh? ¡®Bastard¡¯? !
Her eyes widened. She had actually forgotten about this!
His contact was at the top. Perhaps she thought that this name suited him. So, she did not change it. She said innocently, ¡°When we quarreledst time, I changed it in a fit of anger. It wasn¡¯t like this before.¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t show any expression at all.
Gu Chu shrunk her neck and begged for mercy. ¡°We should be even now afterst night?¡±
Feng Jiaughed lightly and pointed at the ¡°Friend privileges¡± setting. Sure enough, he saw the ¡°Don¡¯t let him see me¡± tag was activated.
Gu Chu thought that he was changing his nickname, so she moved closer to take a look. She was surprised again. ¡°When did I block you?¡±
Chapter 176 - She was Still the Daughter of the Gu F
Chapter 176: She was Still the Daughter of the Gu F
She really didn¡¯t remember this. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have posted that photo in her moments to provoke Feng Jia. She suddenly remembered this and asked, ¡°So, you can¡¯t see my moments?¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t say anything. He turned off the screen and put her phone back on the table.
Gu Chu was still looking at him, thinking that something was wrong. How did he know that she had blocked him?
When the two of them were in a cold war, he was secretly paying attention to her Wechat moments?
The corners of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°You saw my post, right? How did you see it? Did you use someone else¡¯s phone?¡±
Feng Jia did not say anything. His entire face turned cold again. He put on an indifferent face, and his body exuded an air of nobility.
Gu Chu immediatelyughed out loud. ¡°No way. You didn¡¯t actually borrow someone else¡¯s phone to monitor me, right?¡±
What a good fellow.
So CEO Feng had such a humble time.
Gu Chu was not easily humored, but when she thought of Feng Jia¡¯s behavior, she immediately rolled on the bed. ¡°Hahaha, why are you so cute!¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s expression did not change. He stood up and said to her, ¡°I¡¯ll get the nurse to refill your drip.¡±
Gu Chu was not willing to let him go. She grabbed his arm. ¡°Don¡¯t go, Feng Jia. Tell me more. Whose phone did you borrow? Was it Susan¡¯s?¡±
Feng Jia shook off her hand and walked out of the ward.
Gu Chu could not help butugh. She changed his nickname back to ¡°Feng Jia.¡±
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was a little strange.
Mr. Gu lost his appetite after two mouthfuls. He said to Pei Xin, ¡°You have to take care of her during the surgery.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Although Pei Xin often bullied her, he still knew how to behave in serious situations.
He saw that Mr. Gu¡¯s breakfast was fried rice that looked dry. He didn¡¯t know why Feng Jia would buy such breakfast, so he got up and took a disposable paper cup and poured a ss of water for Mr. Gu.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect you toe. I thought my aunt would.¡±
After all, Gu Chu¡¯s blood type was probably closer to her mother¡¯s.
Mr. Gu said, ¡°Your cousin, Gu Wan, hurt her leg a while ago. Your aunt is at home taking care of her and can¡¯t get away for the time being. It doesn¡¯t matter which one of us came.¡±
It doesn¡¯t matter?
Pei Xin turned around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked in a hushed voice, ¡°Then do you know Gu Chu¡¯s blood type?¡±
Mr. Gu was stunned at first, then he sighed slowly, ¡°Yes.¡±
¡°You have O blood type. There¡¯s something wrong with Gu Chu¡¯s blood type...¡±
Mr. Gu interrupted him, ¡°No matter what blood type Gu Chu has, she¡¯s still the daughter of the Gu family.¡±
Pei Xin was stunned.
Mr. Gu¡¯s attitude was firm, ¡°We have kept this from Gu Chu for so many years, and we will continue to keep it a secret. No matter what, Gu Chu is still the daughter of the Gu family, so Pei Xin, don¡¯t say anything.¡±
Pei Xin was also the kind of person who liked to see the world in chaos. When he saw Mr. Gu¡¯s firm attitude, he understood, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t say anything about this.¡±
Mr. Gu remembered when Gu Chu was three years old. She was lying obediently in the crib with her fingers in her mouth and her big eyes wide open. Suddenly, he had mixed emotions. He subconsciously picked up the ss of water that Pei Xin had just poured for him.
The water was very hot. Mr. Gu was caught off guard and was scalded. Pei Xin was shocked and quickly took a tissue to wipe his mouth. ¡°Are you okay?¡±
Mr. Gu simply said that he was fine and ran to the bathroom.
Pei Xin looked at his back and thought that it was almost time to go to work. He walked out of the cafeteria and happened to see Feng Jia in the corridor talking to the nurse about Gu Chu¡¯s condition.
No one would have thought that Feng Jia would stay in the hospital and took care of Gu Chu for more than half a month.
Pei Xin put his hands into his pockets and suddenly thought that if Gu Chu was no longer the daughter of the Gu family, then her marriage with Feng Jia would be annulled, right?
After all, the Feng family was going to marry the daughter of the Gu family.
That would be such a pity.
Gu Chu¡¯s surgery was scheduled for ten in the morning. She changed into her scrubs,y on the operating table, and was pushed into the operating room.
She saw Pei Xin adjusting the equipment in front of her. He wore a mask and asked, ¡°Are you nervous, Gu Yi?¡±
¡°Ha.¡± Gu Chu rolled her eyes. ¡°When you lie on this bed, you¡¯ll know.¡±
Seeing a nurse holding two blood bags, she asked, ¡°What is my blood type?¡±
Chapter 177 - Gu Chu in Surgery
Chapter 177: Gu Chu in Surgery
Pei Xin answered very casually, ¡°Type AB.¡±
Gu Chu paused. Looking at Pei Xin¡¯s nonchnt look, she knew that he was lying to her. She yelled at him, ¡°You¡¯re type AB!¡±
Pei Xin was annoyed. ¡°Type B, ok? If it¡¯s not B, then it¡¯s O. What¡¯s the big deal?¡±
Gu Chu:¡±?¡±
She began to doubt if such an emotional chief surgeon was really reliable?
However, it¡¯s toote for her to turn back.
The nurse had alreadye over with an anesthetic needle.
While the surgery was going on, Feng Jia and Mr. Gu were waiting outside the operating theater.
Suddenly, an uninvited guest approached with a smile. ¡°Am Ite? Has Gu Chu already started the surgery?¡±
Both of them turned their heads at the same time.
Feng Huai smiled warmly.
Behind him was his secretary, Su Xin.
Feng Jia¡¯s eyes were cold.
Mr. Gu was a little puzzled. ¡°You are?¡±
Feng Huai said politely, ¡°Uncle Gu, I¡¯m Feng Huai from the Feng family.¡±
¡°Feng Huai?¡± Mr. Gu was a little surprised. ¡°You¡¯ve returned?¡±
Feng Huai smiled. ¡°I just came back a few days ago. I knew that Gu Chu was going to have the surgery today, so I came to see her.¡±
Mr. Gu smiled. ¡°You¡¯re so thoughtful.¡±
¡°Uncle Gu, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. It¡¯s just a small tumor. She¡¯ll be fine once it¡¯s cut off. Moreover, Pei Xin is the chief surgeon. The operation will definitely go smoothly.¡±
Feng Huai¡¯s words were kind, but he also indirectly revealed that he knew Gu Chu¡¯s condition very well. Not only her condition, he also knew who the chief surgeon was.
Mr. Gu had been in the business world for so many years, so naturally, he had heard about the open and hidden conflicts between the three brothers of the Feng family. However, his future son-inw was Feng Jia, so he would definitely stand on his side. Therefore, no matter what Feng Huai said, he should not pay too much attention to it.
Therefore, he just smiled. ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡±
Feng Huai watched him leave.
Only the Feng brothers were left in front of the operating theater.
The smile on Feng Huai¡¯s face did not change. ¡°So Gu Chu only had a small tumor. I thought I was going to be an uncle.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s face was neither warm nor cold. ¡°Who said Gu Chu was pregnant?¡±
Feng Huai said honestly, ¡°That day, Pan Zhen was in a Thai restaurant. When he heard Gu Chu talked about pregnancy with her secretary, he thought that Gu Chu was pregnant and reported it to me. I was misled by him. I even told him to be careful when he brought Gu Chu here. I didn¡¯t want to hurt my future nephew.¡±
He suddenlyughed. ¡°Pan Zhen is a failure. He deserves to be in prison for a few years. Am I right?¡±
¡°Of course, I was too careless. If I had been more careful, I wouldn¡¯t have made such a mistake.¡±
He actually dared to mention the kidnapping again. It was clearly a provocation. Feng Jia nced at him, then, he said slowly, ¡°You were not just careless. As long as you put your mind to the right ce, you won¡¯t make a mistake like putting the wrong decimal point.¡±
The smile on Feng Huai¡¯s face froze. ¡°What?¡±
¡°Mr. Stephen¡¯sint should have reached Father, right? Instead of worrying about Gu Chu here, why don¡¯t you think about how to exin it to Father?¡±
Su Xin immediately took out her phone to look at the contract.
Stephen¡¯s contract was supposed to be signed by Feng Jia, but he stood him up because he came to the capital for Gu Chu.
Feng Huai took advantage of the situation to sign the contract on his behalf, and because of that, he received approval from his father. That was why he was given a holiday and was able to return home early.
However, a decimal error? How was that possible?
Feng Huai¡¯s eyes flickered, and he instantly understood that it was Feng Jia¡¯s doing!
Feng Huai pursed his lips, turned around, and left quickly.
He didn¡¯t receive the call because the contract had just been signed. As long as he went to see Mr. Stephen now, there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
¡°Walk slowly,¡± Feng Jia¡¯s tone was very calm. ¡°The police should have informed you that you can¡¯t leave the capital now, so it¡¯s useless no matter how fast you walk.¡±
Feng Huai¡¯s footsteps suddenly came to a halt. From this distance, he gritted his teeth. ¡°You are still so good with your tricks!¡±
While sabotaging the contract, he also restricted his freedom. He could only watch helplessly and was powerless to turn the situation around.
Feng Jia followed his gaze. ¡°How could I send you abroad otherwise?¡±
Feng Huai: ¡°...¡±
They were always like this, stepping on each other¡¯s minefields to show their power.
Feng Huai sneered. ¡°Everyone says that you¡¯re the most suitable person to take over the Feng Corporation. I didn¡¯t expect that you wouldn¡¯t hesitate to harm thepany just to prevent me from signing the contract?¡±
Chapter 178 - Linyin Came
Chapter 178: Linyin Came
Feng Jia did not want to bother with him anymore. The person he cared about the most was in the operating theater.
Feng Huai did not say anything more and left inrge strides.
Just then, he bumped into Mr. Gu, who had just returned from washing his hands. He did not even look at him before he left.
Feng Huai walked faster and faster. Su Xin, who was behind him, almost could not catch up. He walked past a trash can and suddenly kicked it.
With a ng, the entire building rang.
Su Xin asked, ¡°CEO Huai, should I tell the chairman that CEO Feng who¡¯s behind this?¡±
What¡¯s the point?
Mr. Feng never cared about the fight between the two brothers. He only cared about the results.
Feng Huai was so angry that heughed. ¡°This time, I lost. Next time, it¡¯ll be his turn.¡±
Feng Huai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he was back to his usual self.
He had just left the hospital when a figure suddenly crashed into his arms. He subconsciously reached out to catch it.
¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m sorry! I was too anxious, so I didn¡¯t look where I¡¯m going!¡±
Lin Yin had just gotten out of the taxi when she ran straight towards the door, but she did not expect to bump into someone.
......
Feng Huai smiled. ¡°It¡¯s ok.¡±
Lin Yin apologized again and then walked around him to enter the building. Feng Huai narrowed his eyes and looked at her disappearing back.
Su Xin recognized her. ¡°She¡¯s the daughter of the Lin family. She should be here to see Miss Gu.¡±
Feng Huai smelled a fragrance and smiled yfully. ¡°Her hair smells pretty good.¡±
Lin Yin ran to the door of the operating theater and asked while calming her breathing, ¡°CEO Feng, Uncle Gu, how is Gu Chu?¡±
¡°Lin Yin, you¡¯re here.¡± Mr. Gu pointed at the door. ¡°Gu Chu is still inside. She will be fine in about three hours.¡±
¡°Actually, my brother is alsoing, but he has something on at the moment and can¡¯t get away. He will arriveter, so I came first,¡± Lin Yin said. ¡°Meng Lang and Wang Xiao also sent their wishes.¡±
Mr. Gu smiled. ¡°I¡¯m happy that Gu Chu has good friends like you.¡±
The lights in the operating room were turned off three hourster. Pei Xin was the first to walk out. Mr. Gu quickly went forward and asked, ¡°How is Gu Chu?¡±
Pei Xin replied, ¡°The surgery went very smoothly. There¡¯s no problem.¡±
The risk of this kind of surgery was not high to begin with. However, everyone was too anxious.
¡°She hasn¡¯t woken up from the anesthesia yet. Let¡¯s send her back to the ward to rest first.¡±
After that, the unconscious Gu Chu was sent back to the ward by the nurses.
Gu Chu only woke up when it was nighttime. Lin Yiny on her bedside. When she saw that she had woken up, she said with relief, ¡°My Chu Chu, you¡¯ve finally woken up. How is it? Does your wound hurt?¡±
Gu Chu replied weakly, ¡°I¡¯m ok.¡±
She slowly raised her eyelids. ¡°Where¡¯s Feng Jia?¡±
¡°He¡¯s here.¡± Lin Yin hurriedly gave him a seat.
Feng Jia said, ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±
Gu Chu looked strong just a moment ago, but the moment she saw him, her demeanor changed. She shouted, ¡°I¡¯m in so much pain!¡±
Ms. Lin Yin: ¡°...¡±
Feng Jia said in amusement, ¡°Bear with it for a while.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips. ¡°Then can I drink water? My throat is a little dry.¡±
¡°No.¡±
She just had surgery on her intestines, so she had to fast. Feng Jia poured a cup of warm water. ¡°Hold it in your mouth, but you have to spit it out.¡±
Lin Yin was very sympathetic.
What a pitiful woman.
Gu Chu had recovered from the anesthesia. She could still bear the pain, so she did not call for anyone.
Lin Yin sat by the bed and talked to her to distract her. ¡°Why do I only see your father? Where¡¯s your mother?¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Gu Wan¡¯s leg is injured. My mother has to stay and take care of her.¡±
However, she knew in her heart that this was just an excuse. She simply did not want toe.
After that p, her mother didn¡¯t even pretend to care about her anymore.
Gu Chu had already gotten used to it, but Lin Yin was upset on her behalf. When she saw Mr. Gu walking over, she raised her voice and said, ¡°Her leg has been injured for a month. Why hasn¡¯t it healed?¡±
¡°Even if it hasn¡¯t, it should be serious anymore, right? She¡¯s not alone at home. There are also servants. Even I came over, why didn¡¯t your own mother? If others don¡¯t know, they might think that you aren¡¯t her biological daughter.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. She looked at her questioningly.
Lin Yin¡¯s eyes said, ¡°I¡¯m standing up for you.¡±.
Mr. Gu clearly heard this as well. He stopped in his tracks and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He lowered his head, but no one could tell what he was thinking.
Chapter 179 - The Taboo Nickname
Chapter 179: The Taboo Nickname
Pei Xin had just gotten off work and came over to see Gu Chu. When he saw that she was awake, he called out, ¡°Gu Yi, you¡¯re awake.¡±
Before Gu Chu could say anything, Mr. Gu suddenly raised his head. ¡°Don¡¯t call her by that name!¡±
From his tone, it seemed that Mr. Gu was really angry.
Pei Xin was stunned.
Gu Chu was also stunned.
Feng Jia frowned.
Mr. Gu said stiffly, ¡°This is not a good nickname. Don¡¯t call her by that name anymore.¡±
Pei Xin was at a loss. ¡°Okay.¡±
Mr. Gu¡¯s expression was a little unnatural. He nced at Gu Chu who was lying on the bed, then turned his head away. He did not even enter the ward. ¡°Pei Xin,e with me. I want to talk to you about Gu Chu¡¯s situation.¡±
Pei Xin nodded and followed him.
Gu Chu was at a loss. She was afraid that she would never understand why her parents¡¯ attitude towards her had changed so drastically.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with your dad?¡± Lin Yin was confused. ¡°Your nickname sounds fine, at least it sounds better than mine.¡±
Gu Chu said nonchntly ¡°How is it fine? It has the same sound as ¡®idental¡¯.¡±
......
Lin Yin looked down at her phone. ¡°My brother is here. He doesn¡¯t know that you¡¯ve changed rooms. I¡¯ll go pick him up.¡±
Gu Chu nodded.
Feng Jia sat beside her bed. ¡°You don¡¯t like people calling you by your nickname because your parents don¡¯t like it?¡±
¡°Yeah, sort of.¡±
¡°Then when did they start not liking your nickname?¡±
Gu Chu thought about it carefully. ¡°When I was seven or eight years old.¡±
¡°Do you have such a good memory?¡± Feng Jia didn¡¯t show any expression. ¡°You remember everything since you¡¯re 4?¡±
¡°Of course.¡± She said proudly. ¡°When I was studying, I didn¡¯t forget anything that was in the textbooks.¡±
Feng Jia smiled. ¡°I know that.¡±
Gu Chu looked at him. ¡°How do you know?¡±
Feng Jia changed the topic. ¡°Do you remember anything before you were 4?¡±
¡°Research shows that most people have no memories before 3 years old. Are you giving me a hard time?¡±
Feng Jia pursed his lips.
He didn¡¯t ask this for fun, but because Mr. Gu¡¯s outburst seemed a little different. It seemed like he was first triggered by Lin Yin¡¯s words which imed that Gu Chu didn¡¯t seem like his daughter.
Feng Jia even suspected that there was a causal rtionship between the two remarks.
Later, Mr. Gu and the Lin siblings left the hospital and went back to the hotel to rest. Gu Chu also went to bed. Feng Jia walked to the corridor and he called Susan. ¡°Find out about the Gu Corporation¡¯s hundred-million-yuan contract 25 years ago. What exactly happened?¡±
Susan, ¡°Okay, CEO Feng.¡±
Feng Jia put down his phone. 100 million was a lot 25 years ago. Even now, it was not a small sum of money.
Could there be another reason why he was so afraid?
Susan acted quickly. She sent a text the next day at noon. ¡°CEO Feng, I found out that 25 years ago, the Gu Corporation did not have any contract worth 100 million.¡±
No?
¡°I checked again. 22 years ago, the Gu Corporation received a capital injection worth 100 million yuan.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s eyelids twitched. Capital injection?
Susan continued, ¡°More than 20 years ago, the Gu Corporation wanted to expand overseas. However, due to a strategic mistake, the money was tied up. The domestic acquisition failed, resulting in heavy losses. At that time, they were on the verge of bankruptcy.¡±
¡°The injection of 100 million yuan brought the Gu family back to life. The strange thing was, ording to the stock price of the Gu Corporation at that time, 100 million yuan was at least 30% of the shares. However, he only held 10% of the shares. Moreover, four yearster, the shares were transferred to Chairman Gu¡¯s name.¡±
In other words, a Buddha injected capital into the Gu family and gave 100 million yuan to the Gu family. After saving the Gu family, he even returned the shares.
Twenty-two years ago, Gu Chu was three years old.
Four yearster, the shares were transferred. Gu Chu was seven years old.
After that, the Gu family no longer called her by her nickname.
Feng Jia put down the teacup. It seemed that there was more to it.
After the surgery, Gu Chu rested for a week. Finally, she could eat some liquid food.
Her father woulde to the hospital to apany her for two to three hours every day. They got along as usual, but the strained rtionship could not be mended just like that.
Therefore, it was inevitable that he behaved awkwardly.
Gu Chu asked him to go back since Feng Jia, Lin Yin, and the others were here, but as her father, it didn¡¯t seem appropriate for him to leave.
Gu Chu let him be.
Now that her wound had healed, Gu Chu said again, ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to stay here and watch over me. I¡¯m fine now. Thepany is more important. You should go back.¡±
Chapter 180 - She had Become Vice President
Chapter 180: She had Be Vice President
¡°Alright, with Feng Jia here, I¡¯ll feel more at ease.¡± Mr. Gu heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Get well soon. When youe back, I¡¯ll appoint you as the vice president.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned. She thought she was hearing things. ¡°Me?¡±
Mr. Gu said, ¡°I¡¯m getting old. In the past few years, I haven¡¯t personally dealt with thepany¡¯s matters. I might as well hand over the position to Uncle Li. You¡¯ll take on the position of vice president. You¡¯ll work a few years in this position and gain some experience. In the future, the Gu Corporation will still be handed over to you.¡±
Gu Chu was shocked. She did not expect such a good thing to happen!
Previously, she had put in all her effort to sign the contract with Shengyan in order to prove her capability to everyone in thepany.
Now that it seemed that she had finally gotten what she wanted, she was very happy. ¡°Thank you, dad. I won¡¯t let you down.¡±
¡°You have never let me down.¡± Mr. Gu looked at her. He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything.
After sitting down for a while, he went back to the hotel to pack his luggage.
Gu Chu revealed her emotions after he left. ¡°Feng Jia! Did you hear that? ! I¡¯m going to be a vice president! I can afford to support you in the future! !¡±
Support him? That was the first time Feng Jia heard that. He raised his eyebrows. ¡°Yes, President Gu.¡±
Gu Chu was . She beckoned him with his finger. ¡°Come here.¡±
Feng Jia closed the notebook and walked towards her. ¡°Yes, President Gu?¡±
Gu Chu pouted. ¡°I want to go out for a walk.¡±
She had been lying on the hospital bed for a week!
Feng Jia nced at her. ¡°No.¡±
Gu Chu continued to pout. ¡°Then get a wheelchair and push me downstairs for a walk?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes immediately curved. ¡°My dear, my darling, my baby!¡±
She started again.
However, Feng Jia¡¯s expression remained the same. ¡°No.¡±
Gu Chu hooked her arm around Feng Jia¡¯s neck. ¡°Then when can I? My wound has already healed!¡±
Feng Jia was adamant. ¡°A month.¡±
Gu Chu was annoyed. ¡°Do you want me to die in this bed?¡±
Just as they reached the door, Ms. Lin Yin heard this. ¡°...¡±
What was she saying?
Gu Chu had no idea that Lin Yin misunderstood. She even asked Lin Yin, ¡°Lin Yin, can you help me ask Pei Xin when I can get out of bed?¡±
Lin Yin thought for a moment. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it would take a week?¡±
Then wouldn¡¯t it be now?
Gu Chu rolled her eyes at Feng Jia. She had wasted her coquettish act just now.
She lifted the nket and covered her wound. As she put on her shoes, she said, ¡°With your attitude, you still want me to earn money to support you? Dream on!¡±
Thus, CEO Feng was kicked out before he could even take advantage of his mistress.
Gu Chu asked Lin Yin to take her out for a walk, but Feng Jia didn¡¯t stop her. He was just teasing her. She was supposed to get out of bed and walk, so she could only eat after she moved a little.
Feng Jia stood by the window and watched them walk downstairs.
He put his palm against the window and tapped his fingers twice.
Vice president?
Mr. Gu must have felt guilty after seeing Gu Chu in the hospital for the past few days. That was why he wanted to make it up to her?
However, he only mentioned the position and not the shares. Gu Chu was still an employee of the Gu family and was not much different from before.
She was quite happy, but it was too early.
It¡¯s not that she wasn¡¯t smart enough to see it, but she didn¡¯t want to use her family.
However, Feng Jia was good at seeing through his own family.
*
Mr. Gu returned to Haicheng City that day. It was six o¡¯clock in the afternoon when he arrived at the Gu residence.
The servant took his luggage. He stepped in and saw Mrs. Gu arranging flowers in the living room.
He asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Gu Wan?¡±
Mrs. Gu replied, ¡°I just asked someone to help her out. She doesn¡¯t need a cane anymore.¡±
Mr. Gu nodded. After a few steps, he turned around and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask me how Gu Chu is?¡±
Mrs. Gu did not even lift her eyelids. ¡°A small intestinal tumor is not a serious illness. Besides, you¡¯re back. I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll be fine.¡±
Mr. Gu frowned. ¡°You¡¯re her mother, not her enemy. The child needed surgery, and you didn¡¯t even call. Is that right?¡±
Mrs. Gu lowered her eyes and continued, ¡°She didn¡¯t call either. She didn¡¯t want to tell us in the first ce.¡±
Mr. Gu closed his eyes. ¡°Do you have to hurt her so much? Didn¡¯t you love her very much before?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not her that I love. It¡¯s our child, Gu Wan.¡± Mrs. Gu turned to look at him and said coldly, ¡°If I didn¡¯t put my love on her in the past twenty years, I¡¯d go crazy.¡±
Chapter 181 - Mr. and Mrs. Gu Quarreled
Chapter 181: Mr. and Mrs. Gu Quarreled
Mrs. Gu only saw Gu Chu as a substitute for Gu Wan.
Now that she was back, who would take a second look at the substitute?
Mrs. Gu clenched her fingers and made up her mind, she broke the white peony in her hand. ¡°She looks more and more like that person, especially those eyes. When she was young, she looked fine. But when she grew up, the more I looked at her, the more I hated her. I don¡¯t even want to see her now!¡±
¡°No matter what you think, Gu Chu is still the daughter of the Gu family,¡± Mr. Gu sighed, ¡°She has done a very good job. I heard from Lin Yu that she handled the Sky Garden project very well, both in terms of opposition to the construction and handling of public opinion.¡±
¡°So, when shees back this time, I want to appoint her as the vice president of thepany, and the board of directors has already agreed to this matter.¡±
Mrs. Gu suddenly stood up. ¡°What did you say?¡±
Mr. Gu looked at her and repeated himself, ¡°I said, I want Gu Chu to be the vice president.¡±
Mrs. Gu immediately asked, ¡°What about Gu Wan?¡±
¡°Although Gu Wan graduated from the University of Finance and Economics, she has not worked in any rted field after graduation. After so many years, she has no relevant experience at all. ording to the normal recruitment process, thepany¡¯s HR might not even recruit her, let alone be the vice president.¡±
Mr. Gu had already made up his mind. ¡°I¡¯ll let her work in the branch office first. When she has achieved results, she will return to the headquarters.¡±
Mrs. Gu¡¯s voice suddenly became louder. ¡°You actually want Gu Wan to leave my side?!¡±
This was something that she absolutely could not tolerate!
¡°You keep saying that you want to treat the two daughters equally, but you let Gu Chu be the vice president, and let Gu Wan leave thepany. Is this what you call fair?¡±
¡°Then what do you want? Make Gu Wan the vice president of thepany? Do you think Gu Wan will be able to convince the people under her? If one¡¯s name doesn¡¯t match one¡¯s position, disaster will befall them. Don¡¯t tell me you want to force her to take the position? The Gu Corporation doesn¡¯t have such rules!¡±
Mr. Gu had been thinking about how to deal with his rtionship with Gu Chu for the past few days. Finally, Pei Xin¡¯s ¡°Gu Yi¡± reminded him.
They always said that Gu Chu owed Gu Wan and the Gu family, but what exactly did she owe them?
It was clearly the Gu corporation that owed her and his old friend.
Mrs. Gu looked at him without blinking. She felt it was ridiculous. ¡°Do you feel sorry for Gu Chu now? Do you want to make it up to her?¡±
Her eyes were filled with ridicule. ¡°If you really want to make it up to her, why do you only give her the position of vice president? Don¡¯t you want to give her shares? Or are you reluctant to give it up?¡±
¡°You¡¯re really a hypocrite. On the surface, you act like a kind father and pretend to love Gu Chu, but you¡¯re only doing this to make yourself feel at ease!¡±
¡°You!¡±
Mr. Gu¡¯s face was livid. No one knew if he was angry or if his intentions had been seen through.
Mrs. Gu continued to sneer. ¡°Let me tell you clearly, Gu Chu has already stolen Gu Wan¡¯s fianc¨¦. In other aspects, I can¡¯t let her be stronger than Gu Wan! Since Gu Wan can¡¯t step up for the time being, then Gu Chu must step down!¡±
Mr. Gu¡¯s chest rose and fell violently, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±
¡°Since she¡¯s doing well as a director, then she should just keep doing it. There¡¯s no need for her to be promoted to vice president. Why should she have what Gu Wan doesn¡¯t have?¡±
Mr. Gu shook his head in disappointment, ¡°You¡¯re simply unreasonable.¡±
He turned around and continued upstairs.
Mrs. Gu turned around and sat down with a cold expression.
The living room returned to silence in an instant. The servants pretended to be deaf as they did their work.
Actually, the Gu family was not like this before. When exactly did it start to change?
Oh, it was after the eldest miss returned¡
The silence was finally broken by Gu Wan. She leaned on her walking stick and came to Mrs. Gu¡¯s side. She said gently, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t quarrel with dad because of me. He must have his reasons for making such a decision.¡±
She lowered her eyes. ¡°Besides, I¡¯m indeed not as capable as Gu Chu.¡±
Mrs. Gu stroked her hair. ¡°If you were the one the Gu family nurtured in the beginning, you wouldn¡¯t be any worse than her.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Yes, I wasn¡¯t kidnapped by human traffickers back then. How wonderful would that be?¡±
She sniffed. ¡°I really envy Gu Chu. Not only does she have the ability, but she also has a good fianc¨¦. She has so many good friends and the love of her cousins. It seems that everyone around her likes her.¡±
Mrs. Gu could tell at once. ¡°Did your cousin Lu Shen not want to talk to you when you went to your grandpa¡¯s house yesterday?¡±
Gu Wan lowered her head. At this moment, silence was better than words.
Mrs. Gu¡¯s heart ached. ¡°I love you. I won¡¯t let you lose to Gu Chu!¡±
Chapter 182 - A Welcoming Party
Chapter 182: A Weing Party
Gu Wan leaned gently against her, but her face was ice-cold from an angle that she could not see.
After a while, Gu Wan looked up and asked, ¡°Mom, who did you say Gu Chu looked like?¡±
Mrs. Gu paused.
Gu Wan probed, ¡°Gu Chu¡¯s eyes are peach-shaped, and mine are almond-shaped. I think only grandma has peach-shaped eyes, so does she inherit it from grandma?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s mother sounded a little disgusted. ¡°No.¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s eyes shed. Actually, she had wondered why her mother would suddenly dislike Gu Chu?
From what they said, Gu Chu was quite doted on by her parents before.
In fact, she thought that her mother had believed her words, but now it seemed that it was not the case. It was hard for her not to be suspicious. ¡°Could it be that Gu Chu is really not my sister?¡±
Mrs. Gu¡¯s expression changed. Gu Wan got up and held her arm coquettishly. ¡°Mom, just tell me. I definitely won¡¯t tell anyone.¡±
Mrs. Gu carried the vase and walked a few steps. Suddenly, she turned to Gu Wan and said, ¡°Go upstairs with me.¡±
The corner of Gu Wan¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Okay.¡±
*
Gu Chu could have been discharged after a week of rest.
She was eager to return. After all, she had been promoted to vice president!
However, Feng Jia refused. He insisted that she stay in the hospital for another two days and have another check-up. When the results were out and Pei Xin confirmed it, he was finally willing to release her.
Hence, her original three to four days of business trip became a whole month.
When she returned to Haicheng City, it was already early winter.
As soon as she got off the ne, she felt the huge temperature difference and her body trembled.
However,pared to what she saw next, this was nothing.
She saw many banners¡
So many of them.
She saw a few women wearing the same clothes, and each of them held a one-meter-long banner in their hands.
Congrattions to the Rose of Haicheng City on her sessful discharge from the hospital and return!
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes were filled with shock.
Many passengers could not help but take out their phones to take photos when they saw such a strange scene. They were even asking who the ¡°rose¡± referred to.
Meng Lang, who was shaking his legs in the crowd, had a smug look on his face. He expressed that he was very satisfied with his arrangement.
Gu Chu took a deep breath. She felt that her wound, which had already healed, was now faintly aching.
She immediately put on the hoodie of her down jacket. Then, she pulled the string tighter, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Then, she urged Feng Jia, ¡°Quick! Let¡¯s go! Don¡¯t let him see us!¡±
She really couldn¡¯t afford to lose face!
However, it was already toote. Meng Lang had already spotted them with his sharp eyes!
He opened his mouth and shouted, ¡°Gu Chu!!!¡±
Gu Chu ran away.
Feng Jia frowned and chased after her with big strides. He grabbed her arm and said, ¡°Have you forgotten what Pei Xin said? You can¡¯t exercise intensely yet.¡±
Meng Lang opened his arms and pounced over enthusiastically. ¡°Chu Chu!¡±
Gu Chu turned pale with fright. ¡°Don¡¯te over!¡±
Wang Xiao followed behind Meng Lang. Just as Meng Lang was about to hug Gu Chu, he grabbed his cor.
Gu Chu was d that she had the foresight to cover her face. She pulled Feng Jia and hurried out. As they walked, she shouted, ¡°Quick! Get those people out of here! Are you crazy?¡±
Meng Lang looked innocent. ¡°You went to the capital this time and suffered a lot. I was just giving you a wee ceremony to get rid of your bad luck.¡±
¡°It¡¯s bad luck to see this!¡±
Gu Chu really couldn¡¯t understand what he was thinking.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯ve also prepared seven Mercedes-Benz, eight BMW¡¯s, and nine Maseratis outside. As soon as I appear, the drivers will all shout, ¡®Wee little rose!¡¯? If that¡¯s the case, I ¡®m going to kill you!¡±
Meng Lang:¡±...¡±
The next second, he took out his phone. ¡°Hey, drive all the cars away. Yes, drive all of them away. Don¡¯t shout anymore. Just leave one car behind.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
Meng Lang looked at her unfriendly eyes and smiled mischievously. ¡°It¡¯s not as much as you said. There are only ten cars in total. By the way, I¡¯ve prepared a weing banquet for you at the bar. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Gu Chu instantlyughed in anger. ¡°I just finished my intestinal surgery, and you¡¯re taking me to the bar?¡±
Meng Lang: ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? Just watch us drink.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
How did she make such a ridiculous friend?
Meng Lang had already pulled Gu Chu into the car. She turned around and called out to Feng Jia, ¡°Come with us!¡±
Chapter 183 - Gossip about Shengyan
Chapter 183: Gossip about Shengyan
It was not yet time for the bar to open for business, so there was basically no one around. The lights were very dim, and there was a singer on stage singing an old love song.
The voice was deep and romantic.
They sat at the bar counter. Gu Chu ordered a ss of warm water, while the others ordered wine.
Gu Chu looked past Meng Lang and Wang Xiao. ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to report back to the army?¡±
Wang Xiao was a man of few words. ¡°It¡¯s a holiday.¡±
¡°No,¡± Meng Lang interjected. ¡°He lied to you, he actually applied for leave. You¡¯ve been through so much recently, and he¡¯s a little worried, so he asked for leave toe back and see you. Tomorrow, before dawn, he¡¯s going back.¡±
Gu Chu felt a warmth in her heart. She clinked her ss with his. ¡°Thank you!¡±
Wang Xiao nodded and raised his head to finish his drink.
Whenever there was a gathering, Meng Lang would definitely be the most talkative one. ¡°We¡¯ve all seen the news. You¡¯re really amazing!¡± He raised his ss high. ¡°Come, everyone, raise your sses. Let¡¯s drink to our tough rose!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
After Wang Xiao finished his ss, he did not drink anymore. Only Feng Jia clinked his ss with him, Meng Lang smacked his lips. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Feng Huai? He took you away just to scare people? The police didn¡¯t even put him in jail. Fortunately, you were safe this time!¡±
He raised his ss again. ¡°Come, everyone, raise your sses again. Let¡¯s drink to our little rose, who will definitely have good fortune after surviving this disaster!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
After drinking two sses of wine, Meng Lang asked again, ¡°Is that tumor of yours recovered now?¡±
Gu Chu did not want to talk to him at all. She even felt that he was using her as an excuse to drink.
She slid down the high chair. ¡°Feng Jia, let¡¯s go.¡±
Meng Lang quickly pulled her back. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t go! I haven¡¯t even performed a song yet. I¡¯ve been practicing for a long time.¡±
Gu Chu nced at the wine in front of him. ¡°If you want me to stay, that¡¯s fine. Remove the wine and rece it with chrysanthemum tea.¡±
Meng Lang protested, ¡°You don¡¯t usually drink, and it¡¯s not like you can¡¯t drink either. Why aren¡¯t you letting us drink?¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°Everyone knows that I¡¯m unreasonable.¡±
Meng Lang nced at Gu Chu. Fine, since she was good-looking, she could do whatever she wanted. He waved at the bartender. ¡°Give me chrysanthemum tea. Tonight is a healthy night!¡±
The bartender immediately gave him chrysanthemum tea.
Meng Lang took a sip and thought of something. He said to Gu Chu, ¡°Have you heard about Shengyan? Yourpanies are working together, right?¡±
Gu Chu was in the capital, so she really didn¡¯t know. ¡°What happened to Shengyan?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t they always talk about the boss and the sales manager? What¡¯s her name?¡±
¡°Zhao Ting?¡±
Meng Lang nodded. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, it¡¯s her!¡±
¡°What about her?¡±
¡°The boss wants to promote her and make her the general manager of a branchpany. That branchpany ounts for quite a lot of Shengyan¡¯s annual profits. This position is equivalent to the vice president of the group. With her experience, it¡¯s far from enough. However, the boss of Shengyan wants to force her to take the position, so naturally, many people are dissatisfied.¡±
Gu Chu frowned. ¡°And then?¡±
¡°The one who objected the most was naturally his son. To be honest, that son of his is even worse than me!¡± Meng Lang raised his eyebrows, ¡°At least I know that I¡¯m a loser. His son is worse than me. He didn¡¯t even know how much money he lost when he invested. My father used to dislike me, but now that I have him as aparison, my father finds me much more pleasing to the eye.¡±
Gu Chu tapped the rim of his cup. ¡°Get to the point.¡±
¡°The point is, his son was afraid that he would give her the family property in the future, so he caused a ruckus in the board meeting and exposed his father¡¯s shorings in public. He even said that Zhao Ting was his father¡¯s illegitimate daughter!¡±
Meng Lang clicked his tongue. ¡°Now, everyone isughing at the CEO for not being true to his words. On the surface, he is deeply in love with his wife, but in reality, he has a mistress. He even has an illegitimate daughter.¡±
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°His son is really ¡®filial¡¯!¡±
She picked up the cup and took a sip. Although she didn¡¯t have much contact with Zhao Ting, she didn¡¯t think she was such a person.
Meng Lang asked sneakily, ¡°Have you seen Zhao Ting? Is she good-looking?¡±
Before Gu Chu could say anything, a voice came from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about girls behind their backs.¡±
Gu Chu turned around and saw that it was Lu Shen. She called out, ¡°Lu Shen.¡±
Chapter 184 - Gu Chu’s Photo Album
Chapter 184: Gu Chu¡¯s Photo Album
Lu Shen arrived a littlete. Looking at the chrysanthemum tea on their table, he couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Coming to the bar to drink chrysanthemum tea?¡±
¡°It¡¯s because of Chu Chu.¡± Meng Lang continued, ¡°This rumor isn¡¯t baseless. It¡¯s been spreading for a long time. Moreover, Shengyan has already removed Zhao Ting from her assignments and she has also submitted her resignation letter.¡±
¡°Zhao Ting resigned?¡± Gu Chu was stunned.
She thought it was a pity. Zhao Ting had such a good education and ability. Shengyan was a good tform. If she left Shengyan with a stain, it would be difficult for her to enter another goodpany.
Meng Lang said matter-of-factly, ¡°How can she not leave after making such a big fuss? If she stays here any longer, the father and son will turn against each other!¡±
In the end, he concluded, ¡°That¡¯s why private affairs are still quite important.¡±
Gu Chu looked him up and down. ¡°You have the nerve to mention private affairs?¡±
¡°Why do you say that? No matter what, I¡¯m still my father¡¯s legitimate child. It¡¯s better to hand thepany over to me than to hand it over to a stranger, right?¡±
Feng Jia, who had been quietly listening to the gossip by the side, suddenly interjected, ¡°There are many purebreds in the horse farm. It doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that someone will take it home to take over thepany.¡±
Meng Lang¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°Feng Jia, are you insulting me?¡±
Lu Shen smiled as well. ¡°We only care about purity of the bloodline if they are horses. People care about those who are capable.¡±
Feng Jia picked up his cup and clinked it with Lu Shen¡¯s.
That¡¯s right, they were insulting him.
......
Wang Xiao also couldn¡¯t bear to see such a stupid person. He asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sing?¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Meng Lang immediately stood up and grinned at Gu Chu as he walked. ¡°Chu Chu, listen carefully. I learned this for you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
She did not really want to hear a tone-deaf person sing.
However, Meng Lang was in high spirits. He held the microphone and started shouting.
Gu Chu facepalmed. It was their 20-year-old friendship that prevented her from leaving.
Lu Shen also thought that it was a demonic tune. He covered his ears with one hand and spoke to Gu Chu.
After he asked her about her health, he said, ¡°After grandpa passed away, he left a lot of things behind. I have not sorted them out. A few days ago, mom and I went to grandpa¡¯s house and packed some things.¡±
The ¡°grandpa¡± he mentioned was her grandfather. He was no longer alive, but the old house was still there. The things had not been moved. They only added an altar and a photo of her grandfather on it.
¡°Aunty knew we were going, so she asked us to bring Gu Wan along to show her to grandpa.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°oh.¡±
She was indifferent. ¡°Since she¡¯s back, she should go see him.¡±
¡°But her leg wasn¡¯t broken. How was it bandaged like that?¡±
¡°She pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy. I couldn¡¯t even be bothered to expose her.¡±
Lu Shen shook his head. He had thought so as well, so he had been indifferent to Gu Wan the entire day.
¡°My mom found a photo album in the box. It¡¯s all photos of you when you were young, so I made a copy for you,¡± Lu Shen said as he handed the leather bag he had brought with him to Gu Chu.
Gu Chu put down the cup of water and looked at it with interest.
Lu Shen was attentive. The photos were all in the photo album. She flipped through the pages one by one and gradually smiled. She turned the photo album to Feng Jia. ¡°Feng Jia, do you still remember when I was young?¡±
Feng Jia looked over. In the photo, Gu Chu was only four years old. Her small face was extremely cute.
He replied, ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡±
Gu Chu revealed an expression that said, ¡°I am not surprised.¡±
She was used to his stoicity. He could have said he did to make her happy even if he didn¡¯t.
She snorted. ¡°When I was four years old, you even picked me up to look at thenterns.¡±
He did not really remember picking her up, but he still remembered the first time he saw her at the Gu family home.
She was lying on Mrs. Gu¡¯sp with her mouth closed. Her eyes were closed and she was about to fall asleep. Her small face was pink and her eyshes were long.
He could not help but look at her when he heard the adults say that the two families would be bound by marriage in the future.
At that time, he did not understand the concept of marriage. He only knew that she would be his future wife.
At that time, he thought that it was not bad.
At least she looked quite cute.
The first person he saw was Gu Chu, so he was sure that it was Gu Chu.
When the rumors in Haicheng City were spreading all over the ce, and even Lu Shen came to ask if the rumors were true and if they wanted to change the engagement, he thought that it was ridiculous.
Chapter 185 - Teasing Her
Chapter 185: Teasing Her
Feng Jia took out her phone and took a photo.
Lu Shen saw it, but he smiled and didn¡¯t say anything.
Gu Chu flipped to the end and asked in surprise, ¡°Why aren¡¯t there any photos of me younger?¡±
Lu Shen said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡±
¡°My parents have the habit of taking photos casually to record our growing up. I¡¯ve seen photos of Gu Wan at home before she was born and lost,¡±Gu Chu muttered. ¡°Why do I feel like my life before the age of three is nk?¡±
Feng Jia calmly took the photo album away from her hands. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you were born with a congenital defect and have been receiving treatment overseas. You only returned to China when you were three years old. At that time, you were only concerned with your treatment and didn¡¯t have time to take photos.¡±
This seemed to make sense, but she still felt a little regretful.
After listening to Meng Lang sing, they left the bar and went to the restaurant to have a good meal.
Of course, Gu Chu was not included.
He said that he was here to wee her, but in the end, he could not drink the wine or eat the good dishes. He sat in the corner miserably, drinking a bowl of clear millet porridge.
What a miserable word.
Feng Jia sat on her left and Wang Xiao sat on her right. She suddenly remembered something and asked, ¡°Did your family agree to let you join the Falcon Commando Team?¡±
Wang Xiao shook her head. ¡°No, but I will go.¡±
......
Gu Chu raised his fist. ¡°Good luck.¡±
Wang Xiao cooperated and reached out her hand to give her a fist bump. ¡°Okay.¡±
After dinner, the sky was dark. Meng Lang suggested singing, but Gu Chu refused because she was tired today and wanted to go back to rest.
Lu Shen was going to go, but he took a call and left in a hurry.
In the end, only Wang Xiao was left to apany the gentleman.
Gu Chu watched Lu Shen leave and was about to open the car door when he saw a pregnant woman walk past. He leaned to the side and let her go first. After she left, he opened the door and sat in.
Gu Chu sighed, ¡°My brother is such a gentleman.¡±
The designated driver drove the car over and Feng Jia got in first. Seeing that she was still standing there, he said, ¡°Get in the car.¡±
Gu Chu got into the car and continued toment, ¡°Girls nowadays all like a gentleman.¡±
Feng Jia closed her eyes to rest, and Gu Chu¡¯s light tone was high. ¡°We¡¯re going back soon. Even if we go back, it seems that a certain someone can¡¯t do anything.¡±
Feng Jia opened her eyes and thought of her words of ¡°Gentleman¡±just now. She asked politely, ¡°May I know if I can interpret your behavior as a provocation?¡±
Gu Chu looked at the designated driver in front of him and whispered into his ear, ¡°You can¡¯t, because I¡¯m menstruating. Do you want to be bathed in blood?¡±
Feng Jia looked at her and suddenly reached into her down jacket. He held her slim waist and said in a low voice, ¡°Just change another one if you get dirty. It¡¯s not your first time getting dirty anyway.¡±
Gu Chu was in a good mood, but after he said that, she couldn¡¯t smile anymore. ¡°Are you serious?¡±
This wasn¡¯t good, was it? Wasn¡¯t this too much?
Feng Jia admired her frightened expression. She chuckled and retracted her hand. She didn¡¯t scare her anymore.
Gu Chu also quietly retracted his body. Fortunately, he wasn¡¯t crazy enough to fight her with blood!
However, CEO Feng was getting more and more flirtatioustely.
¡°When are you going to work?¡±Feng Jia asked.
¡°My dad sent me a message saying that I should stay at home and rest for a few more days, but I have nothing to do at home. Anyway, I can walk and move, so I n to go back to thepany tomorrow.¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t ask any more questions.
After they went back, they took a shower separately. When Gu Chu was applying skincare products, Feng Jia took out a nket from the wardrobe andid it on the spot where Gu Chu slept.
Gu Chu was puzzled. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
¡°To prevent you from dirtying the sheets,¡±Feng Jia replied calmly.
It was as if she often dirtied his sheets!
To be fair, they had only been distracted in the beginning.
It was considered a lot for them to sleep together for half a month. When she was on her period, she slept at home consciously and never came over to flirt with him.
Other than that time, her menstruation had not been urate. After having sex with him the night before, she did not notice that her menstruation came the next morning..
The erudite CEO Feng woke up early and saw the blood on the bed sheet. He stood by the bed and fell into deep thought. He was reflecting on whether or not he had been a little rudest night, causing blood to flow out? Or perhaps he was puzzled. Could that membrane be broken twice?
Later, when he heard that she said it was menstrual blood, he immediately changed the bed sheet and mattress. His disdain was obvious, and Gu Chu was so angry that he ignored him for a month.
She was simply annoyed. ¡°It¡¯s dirty, and you don¡¯t need to wash it!¡±
Chapter 186 - Feng Jia was Very Considerate
Chapter 186: Feng Jia was Very Considerate
At night, Gu Chu hugged the nket and slept with her back to him.
However, she still woke up in the middle of the night.
Gu Chu felt that her lower abdomen was throbbing. She tried several positions, but she still couldn¡¯t relieve it.
She got up helplessly and touched the thermos cup on the bedside table. She poured hot water into it before she went to bed. After taking a sip, she turned around to look at the person beside her and realized that the bed was empty.
Why was Feng Jia not there?
She looked at the bathroom. The lights were not on, which meant that he was not in the bathroom either.
There was lighting in from the corridor. Did he go out?
Gu Chu went to the bathroom first. Then, she held her stomach and opened the door. She wondered why he went out.
¡°Yes, I will send you a photo of her when she was four. Check everything that happened before she was three years old.¡±
He was talking in the corridor.
But, what was he investigating?
Whose photo? Was it her?
Why was he investigating her?
Feng Jia hung up the phone and lowered his head to look at the photo. When he turned around, he saw Gu Chu standing there.
His expression obviously froze, but he quickly regained hisposure and walked towards her. ¡°Why are you awake?¡±
Gu Chu weakly clutched her stomach. ¡°My stomach hurts.¡±
¡°Is it the wound?¡± He asked.
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Gu Chu was annoyed. ¡°It¡¯s my period.¡±
Feng Jia came to his senses and carried her to the bed. ¡°Then how did you deal with it in the past?¡±
¡°I just endure it.¡±
Gu Chu was allergic to aspirin, so she couldn¡¯t take the medicine.
But this time, it was clearly unbearable, and her lips were white.
Feng Jia had never dealt with such things before, so he quickly searched online, ¡°how to relieve menstrual cramps?¡±
After skimming through it, Feng Jia left the master bedroom.
When he came back, there was a hot water bag in his hand. He ced it on her abdomen. ¡°Hold it.¡±
Then, he massaged the acupoints on the soles of her feet ording to what was written on the Inte.
His palms were very hot and his strength was just right. Gu Chu closed her eyes infort.
She muttered, ¡°Feng Jia, if you propose now, I might agree.¡±
Feng Jia smiled. ¡°Then, should I propose now?¡±
Gu Chu said pretentiously, ¡°It¡¯s not a gentleman¡¯s way to take advantage of someone when they are weak.¡±
After saying that, she fell asleep. Feng Jia saw that she was asleep, so he went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
*
The next morning, Gu Chu didn¡¯t expect to wake up so early and nned to go to the office. Feng Jia didn¡¯t expect this. After all, she had been in so much painst night.
Feng Jia looked at her changing clothes and asked, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore?¡±
¡°No.¡±
Usually, Gu Chu would only be in pain for a while. After that, she would be fine. Moreover, she had been away for a month. She had to show her face.
Feng Jia saw that she was wearing a skirt that was above her knees. He said expressionlessly, ¡°You will be in painter if you wear a skirt.¡±
Gu Chu obediently changed.
¡°I¡¯ll send you to work,¡± Feng Jia said as he put on his wristwatch.
Gu Chu did not object.
When they went downstairs to eat, Gu Chu asked him, ¡°Who were you talking to on the phonest night?¡±
¡°He forgot about the time difference.¡±
¡°What did he say? I heard you talk about someone who was three or four years old. Did you mean me?¡±
Feng Jia nodded. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to look for photos before you turned three?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Feng Jia looked calm. ¡°I know someone who worked in the hospital where you stayed in before you turned four. I asked him to look up photos of you when you were three years old.¡±
Gu Chu lowered her head and ate a few mouthfuls of porridge. It sounded unrealistic. ¡°Not true.¡±
Was he lying to her?
Feng Jia¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°I will help you with whatever you need.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned.
¡°No matter how hard it is, I will help you find it.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s face reddened when she heard his words. After eating, he drove her to work. When she got out of the car, he said, ¡°I will pick you up after work.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
As Gu Chu walked into the office, she lowered her head and sent a message to Lin Yin. ¡°Quick! It¡¯s an emergency! Help me think of a script!¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°What script?¡±
¡°How can I post on my Wechat moments in a low-key manner? Last night, I had menstrual cramps. CEO Feng prepared a hot water bag for me and even gave me a foot massage. It¡¯s the kind of thing that a gentleman would do.¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°...¡±
Lin Yin: ¡°Just post it with a photo.¡±
Gu Chu really did take a photo, but before she posted it, she felt a little embarrassed, so she set it to be visible only to herself.
Just to keep it as a memento.
Chapter 187 - Uncle Li Thought Highly of Her
Chapter 187: Uncle Li Thought Highly of Her
When she¡¯s done posting, Lin Yin sent her a message, ¡°is CEO Feng really a good man now?¡±
Gu Chu was pleased. ¡°Of course, I taught him well.¡±
When the elevator reached the business department, the door opened. Before Gu Chu could walk in, there was a round of apuse. ¡°Good morning, CEO Gu.¡±
Gu Chu blinked. ¡°Everyone knows?¡±
The secretary came back a week earlier than her. She raised her hand and said, ¡°Of course. I told everyone as soon as I came back, so now the entirepany knows.¡±
Her colleagues apuded enthusiastically again. ¡°Congrattions on your promotion, director.¡±
Gu Chu smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll treat all of you to afternoon tea.¡±
The colleagues cheered again.
The elevator door opened again and Uncle Li appeared. ¡°Ahem.¡±
Everyone immediately stoppedughing. Gu Chu called out, ¡°Director Li.¡±
Uncle Li did not smile. ¡°You¡¯re quite happy?¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
How was she supposed to answer that?
Uncle Li pressed the button for the floor. ¡°Gu Chu,e with me to the office.¡±
Gu Chu had no choice but to go.
The secretary kept quiet. ¡°Are we too happy? Will it cause trouble for the director?¡±
Another colleague shook his head. ¡°Who knows... Director Li has always disliked our director.¡±
Actually, Gu Chu thought the same way. She already thought of a way to deal with him.
She was just going with the flow.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Li poured her a ss of water and handed it to her. A smile appeared on his stern face. ¡°Why are you so nervous? Have you forgotten how you used to talk to me?¡±
He referred to the time when Gu Chu had just joined thepany. He was the one who took care of her.
At that time, she was arrogant and unruly. When she disagreed with him, she would never back down and fight him to the end.
Therefore, they were not too close. Mr. Gu also had a headache because of this.
A yearter, she signed a big contract alone. Only then did Mr. Gu let her take charge of the business department.
After Gu Chu became independent, she knew what she had done wrong, so she said a little awkwardly, ¡°I was young and reckless.¡±
Uncle Li raised his eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s only been a year, and you¡¯re not young anymore?¡±
Gu Chu simply asked, ¡°Director Li, why are you looking for me?¡±
Uncle Li put down his cup. ¡°Last time, when Gu Wan reported that you forged a contract, I questioned you, but it wasn¡¯t personal.¡±
Gu Chu paused.
¡°At that time, I believed her. You were half my disciple, so I felt very bad that you¡¯d make such a mistake.¡±
Uncle Li patted her shoulder and smiled, which was rare. ¡°This time, you¡¯re promoted to vice president. Do your best, President Gu, you¡¯re worthy of the title.¡±
Gu Chu smiled and even changed the way she addressed him. ¡°Thank you, Uncle Li.¡±
¡°Your father will make an official announcement at the board meeting on Monday.¡±
When Gu Chu heard this, she instantly looked forward to it.
Uncle Li also said, ¡°I¡¯m going to meet an important client this afternoon. Come with me and let everyone meet the new president of the Gu Corporation.¡±
Gu Chu agreed readily.
In the afternoon, Gu Chu went out with Uncle Li.
The ce where they met the client was a famous old teahouse in Haicheng City. Apart from introducing her to the client, Uncle Li also taught her some things, which benefited her a lot.
The teahouse had stairs on each side. They came down from the left, and two people came down from the right.
One of them looked over and quickly said, ¡°Oh my, that seems to be Director Li of the Gu Corporation. CEO Feng, do you mind if I go and say hello?¡±
Feng Jia stopped in his tracks and looked up to see Gu Chu.
She was wearing something different from what she wore when she went out in the morning. Perhaps she was going to meet a client, so she changed into a more professional outfit.
¡°Of course not,¡± Feng Jia said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go together.¡±
That person called out, ¡°Director Li.¡±
Uncle Li looked up. ¡°Director Qiao.¡±
Director Qiao walked over with a smile and shook hands with Uncle Li. ¡°What a coincidence. I just saw you from behind.¡±
¡°It is.¡± Uncle Li gestured to Gu Chu. ¡°Let me introduce you to our new President Gu.¡±
Director Qiao looked at Gu Chu and thought that she was beautiful. He had thought that she was his secretary. ¡°President Gu?¡±
¡°She¡¯s the daughter of CEO Gu and is about to be the vice president of thepany. There will be many opportunities to meet her in the future,¡± Uncle Li said. ¡°I hope you will take care of her in the future.¡±
Director Qiao came to a sudden realization and shook hands with Gu Chu. ¡°President Gu looks so young. She¡¯s really like her father.¡±
He thought of Feng Jia and turned to look at him. ¡°This is CEO Feng. Do you know him?¡±
Gu Chu looked over and smiled. ¡°We¡¯re quite close.¡±
Chapter 188 - Attending a Dinner Party
Chapter 188: Attending a Dinner Party
President Qiao revealed a look of confusion. Why were they close?
Uncle Li exined, ¡°CEO Gu is CEO Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡±
¡°Oh, I forgot about it. The Feng and Gu families are inws.¡± President Qiao patted his head and suddenly became excited, ¡°So we¡¯re all familiar with each other. It¡¯s almost six o¡¯clock. Why don¡¯t I treat you to a meal at the Chinese restaurant downstairs?¡±
Director Li and Gu Chu couldn¡¯t refuse his kind offer. ¡°If it doesn¡¯t interfere with you and CEO Feng¡¯s business, of course.¡±
¡°Not at all,¡± Director Qiao said straightforwardly. ¡°CEO Feng, what do you say?¡±
Feng Jia replied gently, ¡°Of course.¡±
Director Qiao was talkative. He could talk about current affairs, celebrities, fitness, etc. It wasn¡¯t awkward at all.
Gu Chu was also someone who could respond to anything. She had be quite familiar with Director Qiao during this meal. He kept saying that she would have a bright future.
When they were almost done, Director Qiao took out his phone and asked, ¡°Can we take a photo together?¡±
This small request was eptable. They stood up simultaneously and were ready to take the photo.
Director Qiao looked at where they were standing, smiled and said, ¡°President Gu, you should stand beside CEO Feng. You are a couple, so we shouldn¡¯t stand between you.¡±
Gu Chu subconsciously looked at Feng Jia and smiled. Then, she stood beside him. Director Qiao called a waiter to take a photo for them. After the photo was taken, he sighed and said, ¡°CEO Feng and President Gu are really a match made in heaven.¡±
Then, he posted the photo to his Wechat moments.
¡°By the way, we¡¯re having a small dinner party tomorrow night. The main goal is to promote intangible cultural heritage, which will be held here. Come over if you¡¯re interested.¡±
Gu Chu looked at Uncle Li.
He thought it would be good for Gu Chu to meet more people, so he said, ¡°Why not?¡±
Director Qiao immediately said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll get someone to send the invitation to the Gu Corporation.¡±
When the meal ended, and it was alreadyte at night.
They left the restaurant. Director Qiao and Director Li called for someone to pick them up, and Gu Chu returned with Feng Jia.
It was slightly cold in the early winter night in Haicheng City. When the driver drove over, Feng Jia took off his coat and put it on her.
Gu Chu felt much warmer all of a sudden.
It was the first time Gu Chu met him on a business asion. She thought it was strange, so she asked, ¡°Will youe tomorrow?¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°He didn¡¯t send me an invitation.¡±
He had never liked attending such events, so the invitation was usually sent to the front desk, and they would send a representative on behalf of him. Therefore, what he said wasn¡¯t exactly true.
Although Gu Chu knew, she couldn¡¯t help but gloat, ¡°If you want to go, you can be my malepanion.¡±
Feng Jia¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Thank you for giving me this opportunity, President Gu.¡±
The invisible tail behind Gu Chu¡¯s back rose even higher. ¡°If you stay with me, I¡¯ll make sure you have a good life.¡±
Feng Jia opened the door for her to get in. After getting in, he sat down and asked, ¡°President Gu, have you asked about your mother? Based on her attitude toward you, she probably won¡¯t easily agree to let you be promoted to vice president.¡±
Gu Chu paused and replied, ¡°My mother is never involved in thepany¡¯s business. Moreover, this is the decision of the board of directors. It will be announced next Monday.¡±
It was Wednesday at the moment. In just a few days, there shouldn¡¯t be any change of decisions, right?
On Thursday night, Gu Chu and Feng Jia attended Director Qiao¡¯s dinner together.
The goal of the event was to promote the intangible cultural heritage. Gu Chu wore a qipao. There was an embroidered red rose on her chest. Feng Jia was wearing a blue checkered suit, and the coat¡¯s hem was embroidered with the leaves of roses.
They were wearing couple¡¯s outfits and attracted a lot of attention when they appeared.
There was a donation in the end. Gu Chu donated a seven-figure sum. Feng Jia asked, ¡°Do you still have money after buying the painting?¡±
Gu Chu smiled faintly. ¡°Don¡¯t I have you?¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°You do charity work, and I pay for it?¡±
Gu Chu clicked her tongue. ¡°You¡¯re so stingy. Can I borrow money from you? I¡¯ll return it to you after I receive my dividends.¡±
Feng Jia lowered his head slightly and asked her, ¡°What about the interest?¡±
Gu Chu was surprised. ¡°You want interest from your fiancee?¡±
Chapter 189 - Gu Chu Became Famous
Chapter 189: Gu Chu Became Famous
Feng Jia smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as an unscrupulous businessman. President Gu, you have much to learn.¡±
Gu Chu looked around. Seeing that everyone¡¯s attention was not on them, she quickly kissed his cheek.
¡°Here¡¯s the interest.¡±
Feng Jia paused. There was lipstick on her lips, and it left a mark on his face. What kind of interest was this? It was clearly revenge.
Gu Chu liked to see him look helpless.
Feng Jia had to get up and go to the bathroom to clean it.
Gu Chu followed Uncle Li around to meet more people. Although she was new, everyone was very polite to her because of her association with the Gu Corporation.
One of the CEO¡¯s recognized Gu Chu. They met at a dinner party three years ago. She and Lin Yu were dancing then.
Gu Chu remembered that Lin Yu did not bring a female partner that time, and she happened to be there, so she became his female partner.
Feng Jia, who had juste out of the bathroom, happened to hear this. He remembered the dance.
The other guests listened to the CEO and became interested, saying that they wanted to watch Gu Chu dance.
Gu Chu thought it was fine, so she turned around to look for Feng Jia.
Before she found him, a gentle male voice came from behind, ¡°Would you like to dance with me?¡±
Gu Chu turned around and saw that it was Feng Jia. She couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Sure.¡±
She ced her hand on his palm. Feng Jia pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, ¡°It¡¯s my honor.¡±
The lights, the music, and the good-looking couple were indeed very pleasing to the eyes.
Even the moonlight outside seemed to be shining on them.
After the dance ended, it was already midnight when they returned to Jinyuan Residences.
Two figures stumbled into the house. Feng Jia pushed Gu Chu against the entrance. ¡°Come up.¡±
Gu Chu did not hesitate. She kicked off her high heels and hooked her arm around his neck. She jumped onto his body and skilfully wrapped her legs around his waist.
Feng Jia undid his top, picked her up, and ced her on the sofa. Then, he lowered his head and buried his head in her softness.
However, he remembered that she was on her period, so he did not dare to tease her too much. He just wanted to satisfy his cravings.
He lingered on her corbone, leaving a series of hickeys.
She took off his tie and casually tied her hair into a high ponytail.
Then, Gu Chu pushed him away and sat him down on the sofa. She slowly knelt down in front of him.
She reached out and unzipped his pants.
The lights were off in the room. Her proud eyes were brighter than the moonlight. ¡°It¡¯s my first time doing this. I¡¯m not responsible if I identally bit you.¡±
Feng Jia couldn¡¯t wait to push his fingers into her hair and press her head down.
The next morning, Gu Chu was applying lipstick when her phone started to beep.
She opened it and saw that it was a video of her dancing with Feng Jia the night before. It had been posted on the Inte, and there were a lot of reposts.
Everyone in her circle had seen it.
Those outside her circle had also seen it, including Gu Wan.
Gu Wan watched the video over and over again, but there was no expression on her face. When she looked at thements, they all said that they were a good match. A perfect match!
She opened the family group chat, and everyone was talking about it. The more they talked about it, the more excited they became. They were asking her parents when Gu Chu and Feng Jia would get married.
Gu Wan put down her phone and sneered.
Why is she always the one shining?
She was nothing, so how could she get the honor?
Gu Wan clenched her fingers and suddenly thought of something...
Fine, since she wanted to be famous, she would make her even more famous!
It would be best if her reputation was ruined!
She raised her chin slightly and changed the expression on her face. Then, she opened the door and went out.
When she went downstairs, she saw her parents sitting on different sides, silent as if they had just quarrelled.
They had been quarrelling every day about whether or not to promote Gu Chu to vice president. Mr. Gu¡¯s attitude was firm, so now they were sleeping in separate rooms.
Gu Wan walked over and sat next to her mother. She said to her, ¡°mom, Gu Chu is indeed very outstanding. She can also take up the position of vice president.¡±
Mrs. Gu frowned.
¡°Now that she¡¯s famous on the Inte, everyone is praising her. Her bing a vice president will also help the Gu Corporation¡¯s image,¡± she said with a smile, ¡°so I don¡¯t mind. Besides, I believe that dad will not mistreat me.¡±
Chapter 190 - The Last One to Know
Chapter 190: The Last One to Know
Mr. Gu was pleased to hear that. ¡°You¡¯re right. How could I mistreat you?¡±
Mrs. Gu thought that her daughter was trying topromise and did not want to argue with her father, so she felt even more sorry for her. Just as she was about to argue, she saw her daughter shake her head at her.
Mrs. Gu paused for a moment and did not say anything.
Gu Wan looked at Mr. Gu. ¡°Dad, actually, I have a suggestion. I don¡¯t know if it will work.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Mr. Gu was interested.
¡°Gu Chu¡¯s promotion to vice president is a big deal, but it¡¯s only announced within thepany. Why don¡¯t we hold a banquet for her at home? That way, more people will know about it,¡± Gu Wan suggested with a smile.
Mr. Gu did not think of this. Hearing her say this, he thought it was a good idea, so he agreed. ¡°Sure.¡±
Gu Chu indeed needed to know more people, so he said, ¡°Then let¡¯s make it this Saturday night.¡±
Gu Wan beamed. ¡°Don¡¯t tell Gu Chu that it was my suggestion, because my rtionship with her is not very good. I¡¯m afraid that it will affect her mood.¡±
¡°Gu Chu is easy to talk to. Take your time to get to know her.¡±
Mr. Gu was very satisfied with how sensible she was. He went upstairs to arrange for the dinner party.
Seeing him leave, Mrs. Gu held Gu Wan¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Gu Wan, do you really want Gu Chu to be promoted?¡±
Gu Wan said gently, ¡°During the dinner party, we...¡±
......
On Friday, Gu Chu went out with her secretary to meet a client. They bumped into Lu Shen at the coffee shop.
He had just finished meeting a client. When he saw Gu Chu, he teased her, ¡°Everyone in Haicheng City knows that the Gu Corporation is going to have a new vice president. You must be busy.¡±
Gu Chu was surprised. ¡°Really? I thought only those in thepany knew.¡±
Lu Shen smiled. ¡°Director Qiao is known for having a lot of friends. Didn¡¯t he call you President Gu in the caption of the photo that you took together?¡±
Gu Chu did not expect this, but she was happy.
She was really looking forward to bing the vice president.
¡°Your dad is going to hold a dinner party for you on Saturday night. The invitation has already been sent out. Now everyone knows that you¡¯re President Gu, right?¡±
Gu Chu was leaning against the table with azy look on her face, but when she heard what Lu Shen said, she immediately straightened up. ¡°What dinner party?¡±
Lu Shen said, ¡°You don¡¯t know about it?¡±
She really didn¡¯t, and no one told her.
She called her dad immediately in front of Lu Shen. Mr. Gu patted his forehead and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯ve been busy preparing for the dinner party in the past two days, and I forgot to tell you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
This was... ridiculous!
The whole world knew that they were going to celebrate her promotion, but she didn¡¯t know.
¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would just announce it at the board meeting?¡±
Mr. Gu exined, ¡°The announcement is just a formality, but the banquet will help everyone get to know you more.¡±
Gu Chu scratched her eyebrows. ¡°Alright.¡±
This was indeed a good thing.
¡°I¡¯ve already made the arrangements, and the invitations have already been sent out. The guest list will be sent to youter. See who else you want to invite over.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°!¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°Okay!¡±
This was really great!
She did not want to be an inte celebrity, but that did not mean that she did not want to be a celebrity in her industry. It was only fun if she could show off to the people she knew.
It had been a long time since she had seen her fake friends.
Gu Chu immediately picked up her phone and sent a voice message to Lin Yin. ¡°Do you know that my dad is going to hold a party for me, and it¡¯s to celebrate my promotion to vice president!¡±
Lin Yin didn¡¯t reply immediately, but that didn¡¯t stop Gu Chu from going to the group that had all the socialites from Haicheng City. ¡°Is anyone online?¡±
A few people popped up. ¡°Yes.¡±
Gu Chu pretended to be coy. ¡°Are you free tomorrow night? I¡¯m going to be promoted to vice president. It was just going to be a brief announcement initially, but he insisted on holding a dinner party for me. It¡¯s just for fun. Pleasee and support me.¡±
Then, they went offline.
Lu Shen smiled and shook his head. ¡°Entertain yourself. I¡¯m going back to work.¡±
Gu Chu did not have the time to respond to him. She waved her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the screen.
Ms. Lin Yin came out to lead the way. ¡°Of course we¡¯reing! Congrattions!¡±
Then, the others followed suit. ¡°Of course we¡¯re going.¡±
¡°Congrattions, Gu Chu.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll definitely give you a generous gift!¡±
Chapter 191 - Feng Jia is Going Abroad
Chapter 191: Feng Jia is Going Abroad
Gu Chu sent aughing emoji to Lin Yin.
Her good moodsted until she got off work. She asked Feng Jia if he had gotten off work yet?
He replied: ¡°No.¡±
She decided to go and pick him up from work.
There was a bakery at the entrance of the building. Gu Chu had tried the puffs there and they were pretty good, so she bought two boxes and went into the building.
Thedy at the front desk was as sweet as ever. ¡°President Gu, are you here to see CEO Feng?¡±
So, even the people in the Feng Corporation knew that she had been promoted?
She blinked and asked, ¡°Did CEO Feng ask you to call me that?¡±
¡°That¡¯s what everyone calls you.¡±
¡°Everyone?¡±
¡°Yes, I saw the video of you and CEO Feng dancing. Everyone was asking who you were, but I didn¡¯t say anything!¡±
¡°Very good!¡±
Gu Chu praised her. Then, she got on the private elevator and went to Feng Jia¡¯s office.
......
She was waiting for him in the lounge. She was eating a puff when he came out. The vani cream was oozing out of the puff and Gu Chu was about to stick out her tongue to lick it when Feng Jia lowered his head and licked the corner of her mouth.
Gu Chu¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. She let out an ¡°oh¡± and their lips intertwined.
Gu Chu parted her lips and asked, ¡°Is it good?¡±
Feng Jia asked back, ¡°You, or the snack?¡±
¡°...¡±
He was getting better at teasing her.
She said calmly, ¡°do I need to ask you if I¡¯m good?¡±
He said, ¡°I¡¯ll get my assistant to send you backter.¡±
Gu Chu said, ¡°huh?¡±
He exined, ¡°I¡¯m going abroad.¡±
Gu Chu paused. ¡°Going abroad? For work?¡±
¡°Sort of.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s good mood disappeared.
¡°Oh.¡±
If he were to go abroad now, he wouldn¡¯t be back before tomorrow night.
Although she cared about it, she pretended to be indifferent. ¡°My dad is going to hold a dinner party for me tomorrow night. You know that, right? But it¡¯s not a wedding party, so there¡¯s no need for you to be there. Go do what you need to do.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Feng Jia looked at her watch. ¡°I¡¯m going to the airport now. Get aunty to cook dinner for you.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°Okay.¡±
After saying that, he left.
Gu Chu was speechless. He left just like that. What a cold man!
Feng Jia looked at her angry face and couldn¡¯t help butugh. He called Lu Shen. ¡°The Gu family is going to hold a dinner party tomorrow night?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
Feng Jia added, ¡°I¡¯m going abroad temporarily tonight. I won¡¯t be back tomorrow. Please take care of her.¡±
Lu Shen couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°What could possibly happen at a dinner party held at home?¡±
Feng Jia thought that her promotion was too smooth-sailing. There hadn¡¯t been an official announcement yet, but everyone was calling her President Gu. When things were going too far, it was not a good sign. It¡¯s best to be cautious.
He didn¡¯t exin much and just said, ¡°Keep an eye on her.¡±
Lu Shenughed. ¡°If you¡¯re so worried about her, you might as well stay behind and keep an eye on her yourself.¡±
Feng Jia didn¡¯t reply, and Lu Shen didn¡¯t tease him anymore. ¡°Okay, I got it. Don¡¯t worry and do what you need to do.¡±
Feng Jia nodded and hung up. Then, he opened an email. Actually, it wasn¡¯t for work.
The person he sent abroad to investigate Gu Chu¡¯s background sent some information, saying that he had found an important witness. He was afraid that the witness would run away, so he wanted to be there personally.
Moreover, it was only for two days, so he reckoned that nothing big could happen.
Gu Chuy on the sofa andined to Lin Yin, ¡°Feng Jia has been acting really strange recently.¡±
¡°Strange how?¡± Lin Yin asked.
¡°He seems to be investigating something. He¡¯s going abroad now. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s about work,¡± Gu Chu said. ¡°Besides, he was on the phone veryte at night two days ago. He went to the corridor to answer a phone call and even asked someone to look into the things that happened before I was four years old.¡±
Lin Yin was puzzled. ¡°What happened before you were four years old? Is there anything strange about it?¡±
¡°He said that he wanted to help me find some photos of me when I was three years old.¡±
Lin Yin choked. ¡°Alright, that sounds fake.¡±
Is it?
Gu Chu defended Feng Jia, ¡°I mentioned to him before that I wanted to see some photos of myself before the age of three. He said he would give me everything I want.¡±
Lin Yin was speechless. ¡°Are you showing off your love to me? I¡¯m hanging up.¡±
¡°No, I want to know what you think.¡±
Lin Yin was not in the mood to think about this.
She was looking for a dress for tomorrow¡¯s party, ¡°as long as CEO Feng is loyal, why does it matter? You would break his heart if you get too suspicious.¡±
Chapter 192 - Saw Mrs. Gu
Chapter 192: Saw Mrs. Gu
Gu Chu bit her fingernails. ¡°Do you think he...¡±
¡°I think you¡¯re just being paranoid. CEO Feng is such a nice guy. You¡¯re overthinking it,¡± Lin Yin interrupted her. ¡°Let¡¯s change the topic. Have you prepared your evening gown for tomorrow night? You need at least three outfits, right?¡±
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°It¡¯s not a wedding reception, why do I need three outfits?¡±
¡°You¡¯re the star tomorrow. Don¡¯t you want to be in the limelight? How can you not prepare three outfits?¡±
¡°Ridiculous. I haven¡¯t even prepared one.¡±
Lin Yin asked, ¡°want to meet up?¡±
Gu Chu quickly stood up. ¡°Of course!¡±
She didn¡¯t ask Feng Jia¡¯s housekeeper to cook for her. Instead, she grabbed her bag and went straight to the shopping mall with Lin Yin.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t have any money in her card, so she swiped Feng Jia¡¯s card. Feng Jia was on the ne when he suddenly received a few text messages. He raised his eyebrows.
Two hourster, Gu Chu finally finished shopping. She waited for Lin Yin to try on her clothes.
She then texted Pei Xin, ¡°Are youing to the dinner party tomorrow? It¡¯s still not toote to book a flight.¡±
Pei Xin replied immediately, ¡°I¡¯m busy.¡±
Gu Chu, ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you can¡¯t take leave.¡±
......
After a while, Pei Xin replied, ¡°Why do you want me to go? What are you scheming?¡±
Gu Chu answered honestly, ¡°Nothing much. I just want you to see how Lu Shen treats me so that you can learn from him.¡±
Pei Xin almost dropped his phone.
At this moment, the door of the fitting room was opened and Lin Yin walked out. ¡°Do I look good?¡±
Someone said yes before Gu Chu even raised her head.
The two women were stunned and turned to look at the source of the voice.
¡°You are?¡± Lin Yin felt that he looked familiar, but she could not remember who he was.
Gu Chu remembered him. She said with a faint smile, ¡°CEO Huai, are you free now? I thought you were still under police custody.¡±
¡°So you are the second young master Feng.¡±
She sized up this prankster and suddenly remembered something. ¡°Did I bump into you at the hospital that day?¡±
Feng Huai smiled. ¡°I was there to see Miss Gu that day.¡±
Lin Yin sneered. ¡°That was not necessary.¡±
¡°Pan Zhen has already paid the price for his actions. It was my fault for not disciplining him properly, so I¡¯m very sorry for the harm I caused to Miss Gu that day,¡± Feng Huai said humbly, ¡°I wonder if you¡¯d forgive me?¡±
Gu Chu sat on the sofa and did not get up. ¡°There¡¯s no need for forgiveness. We all know the truth, so you should stop acting.¡±
She did not want to waste any more time with him, so she pulled Lin Yin along and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±
The two of them walked past Feng Huai. Feng Huai followed them and turned around, sniffing the fragrance that was left behind.
He mumbled softly, ¡°I was going to tell Gu Chu that Mrs. Gu is just ahead, but it seems like it¡¯s toote now.¡±
Su Xin went forward and said, ¡°The Gu family is holding a dinner party at one of their hotels tomorrow night to announce Miss Gu¡¯s promotion to vice president. We got the invitation, would you like to go?¡±
Feng Huai raised his eyebrows. ¡°Is Feng Jia going?¡±
¡°He went abroad.¡±
¡°For business?¡±
¡°I believe it¡¯s a private matter.¡±
Feng Huai looked at her. ¡°How did you know?¡±
Su Xin was silent. Feng Huai immediately smiled. ¡°You did well. Susan is your sister, but she is wary of you, so you must pay more attention to her work.¡±
¡°I know. Are you going then?¡±
¡°Yes. Since Feng Jia isn¡¯t going, then I¡¯ll go on his behalf to witness my sister-inw¡¯s glorious moment.¡±
How could he miss such a lively scene?
Gu Chu and Lin Yin walked out of the mall. As they were talking about Feng Huai, Lin Yin¡¯s gaze suddenly fell on a car. She said in a daze, ¡°Chu Chu, isn¡¯t this...¡±
Gu Chu followed her gaze and happened to see Mrs. Gu. Their gazes met.
Ever since the p, the two of them had not been in contact for more than a month.
Gu Chu¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took two steps forward. Lin Yin grabbed her, ¡°We¡¯re crossing the road! And it¡¯s red light!¡±
Mrs. Gu retracted her gaze, bent down, and got into the car. The car quickly disappeared from Gu Chu¡¯s sight.
Gu Chu gritted her teeth. At this moment, seeing her mother treat her so coldly, she still felt terrible.
Lin Yin was puzzled, ¡°It¡¯s sote. What¡¯s your mother doing outside?¡±
Chapter 193 - Gu Wan’s True Colors
Chapter 193: Gu Wan¡¯s True Colors
Gu Chu shook her head and looked at the coffee shop that her mother had just walked out of. She suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Director Wang.
Director Wang was the one who supported Gu Wan when she used her of forging the contract. Gu Chu did not have a good impression of him at all.
So why did they meet in private?
Before she could figure it out, a car slowly stopped in front of them.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a smiling face. ¡°Miss Gu.¡±
Gu Chu blinked and recognized the person. ¡°You are Xiao Liu?¡±
She had seen him at Feng Corporation before. He was one of Feng Jia¡¯s assistants.
Xiao Liu nodded. ¡°Yes. CEO Feng said that you bought a lot of things and asked me to pick you up.¡±
Gu Chu wondered how Feng Jia knew that she had bought so many things?
She quickly realized that it was the messages from the credit cardpany.
Lin Yin nudged her shoulder with her elbow, implying that Feng Jia was doing well.
The corner of Gu Chu¡¯s mouth curved up.
She was that easy to coax.
......
Before she could figure out what was going on between her mother and Director Wang, it was already Saturday.
The dinner was held at eight o¡¯clock in the evening. Gu Chu arrived at the hotel at seven o¡¯clock.
As soon as she got out of the car, she ran into Gu Wan.
She cursed her bad luck in her heart. Without even looking at her, she walked straight to the door.
However, Gu Wan unexpectedly caught up with her. ¡°Gu Chu.¡±
Gu Wan pretended not to hear it.
Gu Chu¡¯s high heels clicked on the stone pavement, her eyes looking straight ahead.
Gu Wan chased after her relentlessly. ¡°You¡¯ve really been doing well these days. It¡¯s as if the whole world knows that the Gu Corporation has a new president.¡±
Gu Chu¡¯s voice was very t. ¡°Are you here to congratte me too? I¡¯ll ept it.¡±
Gu Wan sneered. ¡°Then I wish you a smooth transition to vice president.¡±
¡°Thank you.¡± Gu Chu looked at her yfully. ¡°This matter is decided by the board of directors. So even if someone cries in front of mom, it can¡¯t be changed.¡±
With that, she quickened her pace.
However, Gu Wan was like a dog that followed her everywhere.
¡°Do you know why I¡¯ve been going against you since I came back?¡±
Gu Chu returned her question, ¡°how can we normal people know the thoughts of people like you?¡±
Gu Wan¡¯s tone was filled with hatred. ¡°Because everything you have now should be mine. You¡¯re a thief who stole my things!¡±
¡°Yes, yes, yes, they¡¯re all yours. Remember, you have to take your medication regrly so that you can recover faster. Otherwise, your illness will only get worse.¡±
After the sarcastic remark, Gu Chu felt that something was off. Gu Wan seemed to be a little different from her usual self. In the past, she knew how to put on an act, so why didn¡¯t she put on an act today?
However, she was toozy to waste time on her. She had not changed into her gown yet.
Seeing her leave, Gu Wan grabbed her wrist. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not fighting with you because I like Feng Jia. I just don¡¯t like you, so I¡¯ll take everything you own.¡±
Her tone was cold.
Gu Chu looked at her. ¡°Why are you being so honest today?¡±
Gu Wanughed. ¡°We¡¯ve already shed all pretenses. What¡¯s the point of pretending?¡±
Gu Chu looked her up and down and shook her hand away. ¡°Really? Then I hope your dream wille true soon.¡±
Gu Wan gritted her teeth at her back. ¡°Gu Chu, just you wait.¡±
Gu Chu was not scared. She walked to the front of the door and pushed it open.
The hall had already been set up. The stage, lighting, tables and chairs, flowers, and wee gifts were all exquisite and beautiful. In another half an hour, the guests would arrive.
All the business partners, family and friends were all here for her.
The party had begun.
Gu Chu was changing into a gown in a hotel room. The stylist was pulling her hair back. She was swiping her phone, and she felt a little uneasy.
She was just thinking about how her mother had secretly met with Director Wang, and then she thought about Gu Wan shedding all pretenses.
There must be something fishy going on.
She looked at her watch and thought of a countermeasure. However, she did not know what cards the other party was ying, so she had no idea what to do to prevent it.
Since that was the case, she might as well fight back.
However, she could still do something.
She called Lin Yu.
Lin Yu quickly answered, ¡°Yeah?¡±
Gu Chu asked, ¡°Lin Yu, are you here?¡±
Chapter 194 - Gu Chu was Popular
Chapter 194: Gu Chu was Popr
Lin Yu replied, ¡°almost there. What¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡± You know Director Wang, right? Can you think of a way to prevent him from appearing at tonight¡¯s party?¡±
¡°Prevent him from appearing?¡±
¡°Yeah, I think he¡¯ll probably cause trouble for me today. I just asked the security guard, but he hasn¡¯t arrived yet. So, I thought that we should just let him stay home.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Although he didn¡¯t know why she was doing this, he was happy to do as she said.
After Lin Yu hung up the phone, he said to the driver and secretary in the front seat, ¡°Stop at the intersection ahead. Turn off the lights and look for a car that belongs to Director Wang.¡±
There was a lot of greenery around them. They went down the slope and hid behind some bushes. They were not noticeable to other cars.
The secretary suddenly said, ¡°That¡¯s Director Wang¡¯s car.¡±
She recognized the license te.
Lin Yu said, ¡°hit him.¡±
Suddenly, a car hit the back of Director Wang¡¯s car. Director Wang got out of the car in a fluster. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?!¡±
The driver quickly faked a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was driving too fast.¡±
Lin Yu rolled down the car window. ¡°It¡¯s Director Wang, right?¡±
When he saw that it was Lin Yu, his attitude immediately changed. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s CEO Lin. It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s just a small ident.¡±
Lin Yu got out of the car and asked with concern, ¡°are you alright? Hurry up and take him to the hospital. If anything happens to Director Wang, I won¡¯t be able to forgive myself.¡±
The driver and secretary also got out of the car. One on the left and the other on the right, they pushed him into the car. He was dumbfounded. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
Lin Yu stood by the car with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the hospital nearby can¡¯t treat you. Take him to to the neighboring city.¡±
Director Wang: ¡°?¡±
He finally understood that Lin Yu was deliberately trying to drive him away. Before he could even say anything, the driver stepped on the elerator and drove away.
Director Wang¡¯s driver wanted to catch up to him, but Lin Yu leaned on the front of the car and looked at him indifferently.
The driver did not dare to move.
Lin Yu sent a message to Gu Chu. ¡°He¡¯s been sent away.¡±
Gu Chu was instantly in a good mood. Without Director Wang, they might not be able to cause trouble.
There were so many guests tonight. It¡¯s not a big deal to have one less.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan, who were waiting for Director Wang, were very anxious.
¡°Why isn¡¯t he here yet? Didn¡¯t he say he¡¯s almost here?¡±
Gu Wan bit her lower lip. ¡°I¡¯ll make another call.¡±
Mrs. Gu nodded.
The others stood in groups of two or three, chatting and joking. Theyplemented Gu Chu for being so capable and living up to her name.
As Gu Chu¡¯s friend, Meng Lang also came tonight.
He was worried that others did notpliment Gu Chu enough, so he always added to the conversation. He mentioned Gu Chu¡¯s involvement in the Yangchang Project, the Sky Garden Project, as well as signing the contract with Shengyan. Furthermore, she also outwitted a murderer¡
The stic sisters who were forced to agree with him all felt sour in their hearts. In private, they muttered, ¡°What¡¯s so great about this?¡±
Didn¡¯t the Feng Corporation sign the contract with her because she was CEO Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e? Furthermore, the Lin and Gu families were close and there were so many problems with Shengyan¡
Lin Yin walked past with a ss of red wine in her hand. She said slowly, ¡°Have you had too many lemons?¡±
¡°...¡±
The man who witnessed everything shook his head. ¡°I was wondering why Gu Yi is so arrogant. So it was all because of you guys.¡±
The only one who would call Gu Chu by her nickname was Pei Xin.
They were all spoiling Gu Chu.
Lu Shen stood next to him. Her two cousins were dressed in ck and white today. They looked very pleasing to the eye.
He smiled. ¡°She¡¯s likable.¡±
Pei Xin tugged on his tie. ¡°How is she likable?¡±
They had their backs to the stairs, so they did not notice a graceful figure slowly walking down from the second floor.
She was dressed in a rose-gold dress. It was close-fitting, sexy, and flirtatious.
Feng Huai was holding a wine ss in his hand. He could not help but chuckle when he heard the soft and crisp sound of her stilettos stepping on the marble floor.
Everyone in Haicheng City knew that there was a young girl in the GU family.
Gu Chu walked straight to her two cousins and heard Pei Xin say, ¡°she¡¯s so spoiled.¡±
She said, ¡°We are family, so what does that say about you? Didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t want toe?¡±
Chapter 195 - The Gift to Mrs. Gu
Chapter 195: The Gift to Mrs. Gu
Pei Xin was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he said, ¡°I¡¯m here to give you a check-up.¡±
¡°Is that so?¡±
¡°Of course. After all, your surgery was not simple. It took me a lot of effort to cut open the fatyer on your abdomen.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°...¡±
So she was fat?!
Gu Chu was annoyed. She gestured at her waist. ¡°Do you have eyes? Do you know beauty?¡±
Can¡¯t he say something nice on her important day?
He was so annoying.
Gu Chu turned around and left.
Lu Shen elbowed Pei Xin. ¡°Why do you always make her angry?¡±
Pei Xin shrugged. ¡°I¡¯m used to it. I just like to bully her.¡±
Gu Wan looked at Gu Chu coldly. No one knew what she was thinking.
Gu Chu nced at her and ignored her. She walked towards Mr. Gu. He said to her, ¡°Chu Chu, I¡¯ll bring you to meet the elders.¡±
Even though her parents¡¯ rtionship had deteriorated, they still had to pretend to be deeply in love on such an asion.
They brought her to an old man with white hair.
Mr. Gu introduced him, ¡°Gu Chu, this is Grandpa Si.¡±
Gu Chu did not know this old man, but since her father said so, she greeted him, ¡°Grandpa Si.¡±
The old man was already past his 70s. His eyes were cloudy and he could not see clearly. He smiled and said, ¡°I realize how old I am when I see these young people.¡±
Mr. Gu said respectfully, ¡°you¡¯re not old. It¡¯s just time to enjoy a good life.¡±
The old man said, ¡°your daughter is not only capable, but also very filial.¡±
Mr. Gu agreed, but he wondered why he said so.
Gu Chu didn¡¯t know either.
The old man said to Mrs. Gu, ¡°she bought the painting by Taoist Wu from me.¡±
Gu Chu was stunned.
So the man who stole the painting and sold it to her was from his family.
Mrs. Gu did not receive the painting, so she was puzzled. ¡°Taoist Wu?¡±
¡°That useless grandson of mine stole the painting and sold it,¡± the old man said. ¡°He said that he sold it to the Gu family¡¯s daughter and that she would give it to her mother. Isn¡¯t that you?¡±
Mrs. Gu was also stunned.
Was it that day?
The day Gu Chu suddenly returned home.
She vaguely remembered that she was holding a painting in her hand.
So she hade home that day just to give the painting to her?
Mrs. Gu could not help but look at Gu Chu with mixed feelings.
After moving away from the old man, Gu Chu confessed, ¡°I did buy the painting. I was going to give it to mom.¡±
She pulled back her hand that was holding Mr. Gu¡¯s. ¡°At that time, I thought that I¡¯d do anything for her, including giving up all my money. But if I knew that no matter what I did, she would still hate me, I probably wouldn¡¯t have spent the money.¡±
¡°Fortunately, the painting has been donated to the museum, so more people can appreciate it. I think it¡¯s still worth it.¡±
She looked at Mrs. Gu and realized that the gentle and amiable mother in her memory had changed beyond recognition.
In the next second, she said expressionlessly, ¡°At least it¡¯s better than giving it to you.¡±
Mrs. Gu was shocked.
Gu Chu smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She nodded to her father and turned to leave.
Mrs. Gu¡¯s lips moved. She actually had the urge to call out to Gu Chu, but in the end, she did not say anything.
She thought that she had no feelings for Gu Chu, but when she heard herst sentence, she actually felt bad.
¡°Look at you, is this what you want? What have you done to her?¡± Mr. Gu had nothing else to say to Mrs. Gu, so he left immediately.
Mrs. Gu was still in a trance, but Gu Wan suddenly appeared and asked her, ¡°Mom, do you feel guilty towards Gu Chu?¡±
Mrs. Gu said subconsciously, ¡°no.¡±
¡°That¡¯s good. We¡¯re just telling the truth,¡± Gu Wan continued, ¡°I¡¯ve already asked someone to send dad away. Tonight, Mr. Feng isn¡¯t here either. It¡¯s the best time for us to expose her.¡±
¡°Mom, we can¡¯t back out now. We have to tell the truth today.¡±
Mrs. Gu stared at the wine ss without saying a word.
Lin Yin and her brother were standing together. Gu Chu walked over, picked up two sses, and handed him one. ¡°This is my first ss of wine tonight. Here¡¯s to you.¡±
She blinked. They both knew that she was referring to his help getting rid of Director Wang.
Chapter 196 - Uncle Li Went on Stage to Make an Announcement
Chapter 196: Uncle Li Went on Stage to Make an Announcement
Lin Yu said, ¡°I¡¯ll drink it on your behalf. You¡¯re still recovering from the surgery.¡±
Of course, Gu Chu didn¡¯t n to drink at all. She stuffed the wine ss directly into Lin Yin¡¯s hand. ¡°Drink with your brother.¡±
¡°Shouldn¡¯t you ask CEO Feng to drink on your behalf?¡± Lin Yin asked. ¡°Has he sent you his congrattions?¡±
¡°Not yet.¡± Gu Chu nced at her phone. It was almost nine o¡¯clock.
The person in charge of the banquet walked over to Uncle Li and said softly, ¡°CEO Li, it¡¯s about time.¡±
It was time to go on stage to give a speech and kick off the event.
Uncle Li frowned. ¡°Where¡¯s the chairman?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve already asked someone to look for him just now, but he hasn¡¯t been found yet. I couldn¡¯t get through to him on the phone, but the security guard said that he saw the chairman driving away. I don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll be back.¡±
It wasn¡¯t the right time to leave at the moment. He was supposed to go on stage.
He asked, ¡°what did Mrs. Gu say?¡±
¡°She said that she never cared about thepany¡¯s matters.¡±
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll speak,¡± Uncle Li said. ¡°Call Miss Gu over.¡±
The person-in-charge walked to Gu Chu¡¯s side and whispered a few words.
......
Gu Chu stood up. At this time, the music in the hall had been turned down. The lights were also dimmed and were focused on the stage.
Uncle Li stood on the stage. ¡°First of all, on behalf of the Gu Corporation, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to attend.¡±
Below the stage, Pei Xin frowned. ¡°Where¡¯s uncle?¡±
Lu Shen looked around, but did not see Mr. Gu.
On the stage, Uncle Li exined, ¡°Chairman Gu is not feeling well, so he¡¯s going to rest for a while. In order not to dy everyone¡¯s time, let me make the announcement.¡±
¡°The former director of the Department of Commerce, Gu Chu, is outstanding in her work. She has received high praise from the senior management and partners. The board of directors has decided that she will be promoted to vice president with immediate effect!¡±
An assistant carried a tray onto the stage with the vice president¡¯s official seal ced on it.
Apuse erupted from the crowd.
Uncle Li said, ¡°Vice President Gu, pleasee over.¡±
Gu Chu lifted the hem of her skirt and walked onto the stage. The apuse became even more enthusiastic.
Uncle Li took out the microphone. ¡°Gu Chu, please say a few words.¡±
Gu Chu pursed her lips into a smile. The door suddenly opened.
A rumbling sound startled everyone.
The person who had barged in was in a sorry state. He was panting heavily. His hair, which was carefully groomed, was now in a mess.
¡°Who is he?¡± Someone asked.
Some recognized him. ¡°I thought it was odd that Chairman Wang didn¡¯te today. How did you end up like this? Did you encounter a robbery on the way?¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t get mugged, I got kidnapped!¡± Chairman Wang stroked his hair and red at Gu Chu.
Gu Chu furrowed her brows and looked at Lin Yu below the stage. Didn¡¯t they send him away?
Lin Yu was equally puzzled. Since he got away, why was there no news from the driver and secretary?
Feng Huai looked at everything in front of him leisurely.
He leaned against the white stone pir and the pastry in his hand.
Then, he saw Lin Yu chasing after Chairman Wang.
Although he did not know what Lin Yu was doing when he saw him send him away, he knew that it must be important.
Therefore, he sent someone to save Chairman Wang.
What¡¯s the fun if there were no surprises?
No one took Chairman Wang¡¯s words seriously. Instead, they smiled and said, ¡°If you¡¯rete, you¡¯rete. Just drink a few sses as punishment.¡±
¡°Chairman Wang, please sit down and rest first. We¡¯re still in the middle of the speech,¡± Uncle Li said. ¡°Vice President Gu...¡±
Chairman Wang suddenly said, ¡°wait a minute!¡±
Uncle Li looked at him in annoyance. ¡°it¡¯s Ms. Gu¡¯s promotion ceremony. It¡¯s not appropriate for you to interrupt her, is it?¡±
¡°I know that tonight is a big event for Gu Chu, but as a director of the Gu Corporation, I have the right to ask a few questions, right?¡±
Theughter of the guests gradually disappeared, and they looked at each other. As soon as he said this, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
Actually, Gu Chu did not know what Chairman Wang wanted to do, she knew enough to send him away.
But since he had returned, she could only face it head-on.
In any case, she had a clear conscience.
¡°Director Wang, what would you like to ask me? I¡¯m all ears,¡± Gu Chu said into the microphone, neither servile nor aggressive.
Director Wang said, ¡°Everyone knows that Ms. Gu has an excellent education. Moreover, she is the daughter of the Gu family. A normal person at this age has only just graduated two or three years ago. How could she reach the position of vice president at such a young age?¡±
Chapter 197 - Gu Chu was not Their Biological Daughter
Chapter 197: Gu Chu was not Their Biological Daughter
So? Gu Chu raised her eyebrows. ¡°What exactly are you trying to say?¡±
¡°Take Manager Zhao from Shengyan. She became the marketing manager at a young age. Her experience and ability did not match, which was why there was criticism. It was said that she had hooked up with the CEO and was his mistress.¡±
Although it had been some time since this incident, everyone still looked at Zhao Ting with an insulting gaze whenever it was mentioned.
Gu Chu felt that Chairman Wang was behaving so oddly. ¡°Stop beating around the bush.¡±
¡°I¡¯m saying this to let you know that you didn¡¯t get here because of your ability, but that your starting point is higher than others. You were relying on the status as the daughter of the Gu family. Otherwise, you could only use Zhao Ting¡¯s dirty method of sleeping with the boss.¡±
Lu Shen could not bear it any longer. ¡°Your mouth is dirty. Although I¡¯m not from the Gu family, but as a partner of the Gu Corporation, is it appropriate for you to talk about your partner like that?¡±
Chairman Wang paused. ¡°I...¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t that the point of a family business, so that your sessors could climb up thedder easily? Ms. Gu is the Gu family¡¯s daughter. Besides wasting time, is there any other point to this example of yours? I think you don¡¯t need to say the rest of your sentence after your rude words.¡±
Lu Shen would never let anyone bully his cousin.
Uncle Li frowned. ¡°Old Wang, you¡¯ve had too much to drink. Go get some rest to sober up.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t drink!¡± Chairman Wang said a little flustered. ¡°I¡¯m just giving an example. It might be a little inappropriate, but what I said is not without reason.¡±
¡°I can see that you¡¯re just trying to cause trouble.¡± Pei Xin crossed his arms and said coldly, ¡°we respect you as a guest and treat you very well. What are you trying to do?¡±
Chairman Wang straightened his neck. ¡°I can¡¯t even say a few words?¡±
......
Although Pei Xin didn¡¯t know what he wanted to say, but he felt uneasy when he mentioned Gu Chu¡¯s background.
¡°Sure, but when you¡¯re a guest in someone else¡¯s house, you should have some self-awareness. There are some things you should and shouldn¡¯t say. Our attitude towards rude guests...¡±
He nced at Meng Lang, who immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, ¡°please leave.¡±
Meng Lang had trained with Wang Xiao before, so he was quite strong. It was very easy for him to deal with Chairman Wang, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Chairman Wang was lifted up by someone, and he quickly shouted, ¡°I¡¯m talking about business! It¡¯s an important matter regarding work! She has been promoted to vice president, and I don¡¯t even have the right to question her?¡±
Someone asked, ¡°Then what exactly are you trying to say?¡±
He didn¡¯t care anymore and cut to the chase. ¡°I¡¯m saying that Gu Chu is not Chairman Gu¡¯s biological daughter!¡±
Gu Chu was stunned.
¡°What?!¡±
All the guests were shocked and looked at each other.
Even Feng Huai, who was an outsider, could not help but put down the small cake in his hand. He really did not expect this.
Meng Lang pushed Chairman Wang against the wall and cursed angrily, ¡°What the f * ck are you talking about?!¡±
Chairman Wang quickly took out a report out from his pocket. ¡°I have conclusive evidence. Look, they are indeed not rted by blood!¡±
Meng Lang loosened his grip, his expression stunned.
Chairman Wang took the opportunity to break free from his grip and showed the piece of paper to everyone. ¡°I don¡¯t know if Chairman Gu knows about this. I¡¯m afraid that he has been deceived by others, which will affect his decisions. Therefore, isn¡¯t it too hasty to appoint Gu Chu as the vice president now?¡±
Everyone saw it, and for a moment, they were in a heated discussion.
If Chairman Gu knew that Gu Chu was adopted but did not disclose it to the public, it would be fine. Otherwise, it would scandalous!
This meant that either Mrs. Gu had an affair with another man and gave birth to Gu Chu, or the second miss of the Gu family had been reced.
No matter what, it was a fact that Gu Chu was not the biological daughter of the Gu family.
She was not the daughter of the Gu family.
Some of thedies who did not like Gu Chu looked at each other. Previously, Gu Chu had always relied on her status to act arrogantly towards them, so they had to endure it, but now...
Some of them shouted, ¡°Gu Chu, who are you?!¡±
Lin Yin asked coldly, ¡°Who are you? How dare you talk to her like that?¡±
The youngdy immediately lowered her head.
However, it was no use shutting one person up.
Gu Chu stood on the stage as if she was in an invisible whirlpool. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on her.
Chapter 198 - Gu Chu’s Rebuttal
Chapter 198: Gu Chu¡¯s Rebuttal
There were all kinds of unkind looks, doubts, mockery, and sarcasm directed towards her. The mor grew louder and louder as the report was unveiled.
Gu Chu could not help but take a step back, her heart beating wildly.
Everyone was looking at Gu Chu, but they did not notice that no one from the Gu family was present. Wasn¡¯t that strange?
Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan were in the room upstairs. Even though the door was closed, they could still hear the discussion downstairs.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±
¡°Although it¡¯s a family matter, aren¡¯t we going to appoint Gu Chu as the vice president today? Is the decision still the same now?¡±
¡°Is she still the Vice President Gu? We must find out today, right?¡±
¡°Wow, I¡¯ve lived long enough to witness anything. She¡¯s clearly not their daughter but still acted like one, what a fake!¡±
¡°Fake!¡±
Gu Wan could not help smiling when she heard this. The moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived!
A celebration? She only wanted to see Gu Chu fail!
What right did she have to unt her status as the Gu family¡¯s daughter? She was not deserving at all!
Gu Wan hated Gu Chu so much. When she found out her true identity, her hatred had reached its peak!
......
She could not hold it in anymore. She had to destroy her in the fastest way possible!
Downstairs, Lin Yin squeezed through the crowd and came to Gu Chu¡¯s side at once. She grabbed Gu Chu¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Chu Chu, be calm.¡±
Gu Chu closed her eyes and held back the churning thoughts in her heart. She tried her best to calm herself down.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and quickly walked down the steps. She snatched the controversial report and saw every word on it.
She suddenly smiled and raised her head to question Chairman Wang. ¡°How did you get me and my father¡¯s hair? And what makes you so sure that the DNA is ours?¡±
¡°Who are you trying to fool? The paternity test is done in a privateb. You could have taken some random cat or dog¡¯s hair and say that it¡¯s mine and my father¡¯s. A blood test on the spot would be more authentic than this report of yours!¡±
As she said that, she crumpled the report into a ball and threw it at Chairman Wang.
The paternity test conducted by a government-verifiedb was definitely more reliable than a private one. Gu Chu¡¯s rebuttal was reasonable, and for a moment, the voices of discussion quieted down.
Lin Yin quickly followed up, ¡°do you think you know better than her parents who raised her? Who knows how you obtained this report? Do you think you can deny Gu Chu¡¯s identity with just a piece of paper?¡±
Lin Yu also stood beside Gu Chu. ¡°You are a director of the Gu Corporation. You should know how much of an impact your actions have on the Gu Corporation! You don¡¯t even care about your own interests, your motives are indeed very questionable.¡±
Meng Lang suddenly interjected. ¡°I know! You must have betrayed the Gu Corporation long ago, right? You¡¯re the mole. You want to destroy the Gu Corporation, right?¡±
The tables were turned. Even those who didn¡¯t like Gu Chu were sighing in their hearts. They had been happy for nothing. In the future, they would still have to please her.
In the room upstairs, Gu Wan¡¯s expression was extremely ugly.
She did not expect that even with the paternity test, Gu Chu could still turn the tables!
Why did she have so many people speaking up for her? They even bent the truth for her!
She suddenly turned her head and looked at Mrs. Gu, who was sitting on the sofa. She called out to her.
The delicate makeup on Mrs. Gu¡¯s face instantly cracked, and she stood up abruptly.
Downstairs, Chairman Wang was speaking incoherently. ¡°I¡ I am devoted to the Gu Corporation! I¡¯m just curious about her identity. The position of vice president can¡¯t be taken by someone whose background is unknown, right? !¡±
Feng Huai said coldly from the side, ¡°Ms. Gu is too patient. If it were me, I would have kicked the person who ndered me and my mother long ago. How can you still let him continue spouting nonsense?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Pei Xin pulled Gu Chu back and pushed him to Lu Shen¡¯s side. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to do something.
Chairman Wang yelled, ¡°the paternity test is valid! I took the hair from the Gu family! I don¡¯t have to lie. The truth will be revealed as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Gu appear. Why would I lie... Ah!¡±
Pei Xin punched him in the face, his face dark. ¡°ndering my aunt, spreading rumors about my cousin, do you really think you can bully us like that?¡±
Chapter 199 - Mrs. Gu Appeared
Chapter 199: Mrs. Gu Appeared
Meng Lang chuckled. ¡°Let me do it! You¡¯re a doctor, your hands are meant to save lives, not hit others!¡±
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him, but Gu Chu pulled him back!
The people beside her were Lin Yin, Lu Shen, Lin Yu, Pei Xin and Meng Lang. When the rumors started, they all chose to stand by her unconditionally. With such a group of friends around, she was calm.
They could punch him to vent their anger, but if they really did attack him, it would be a different story.
The guests were confused. They did not know who to believe.
Someone asked, ¡°Old Wang, do you have any other evidence?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s just a piece of paper. It¡¯s not enough to convince us.¡±
If Chairman Wang had known that Gu Chu was so difficult to deal with, he would not have epted this task. He wiped the corner of his mouth. ¡°Then let Mrs. Gu tell us whether Gu Chu is really the biological child!¡±
Lu Shen sneered. ¡°Ridiculous.¡±
The guests also felt that it was ridiculous. ¡°You¡¯re the one who used Gu Chu of not being the biological daughter, shouldn¡¯t you give the evidence instead?¡±
One of the guests realized that the members of the Gu family were not around and was puzzled. ¡°Chairman Gu is not feeling well. Why is Mrs. Gu not around too? That¡¯s strange.¡±
Meng Lang also lost his patience. ¡°Why are you wasting your breath on him? Just throw him out.¡±
He immediately lifted Chairman Wang up, intending to throw him out.
......
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the stairway. ¡°Wait.¡±
Everyone looked over and someone said, ¡°Mrs. Gu has appeared.¡±
Gu Chu slowly turned.
Mrs. Gu was alone, her expression calm.
It turned out that she had been upstairs the entire time, quietly watching.
Someone said what Gu Chu was thinking, ¡°so Mrs. Gu has been here the entire time. Did you also hear what we said just now?¡±
She pursed her lips. ¡°Yes.¡±
So, she was here the whole time.
The hall was well-heated, but Gu Chu felt a strange chill.
¡°Mrs. Gu, can you tell us the truth? Is Second Miss Gu your biological daughter?¡±
Mrs. Gu stood at thest step and said slowly, ¡°This is our family matter. I don¡¯t think I have the obligation to tell anyone?¡±
¡°Although it¡¯s a family matter, it¡¯s about the position of vice president of the Gu Corporation. That¡¯s not just a family matter, right?¡±
¡°Mrs. Gu, is it so difficult to say yes or no?¡±
Lin Yin hugged Gu Chu and was very close to her. However, she felt a chill on her body. She said coldly, ¡°do you all care about the Gu Corporation, or do you just want to hear the gossip?¡±
That person paused for a moment, then said righteously, ¡°everyone is curious. After arguing for so long just now, don¡¯t we all want to know the truth?¡±
Lin Yin didn¡¯t even have to think about it. ¡°She is Gu Chu.¡±
Her childhood friend.
Gu Chu looked at her, and Lin Yin nodded slightly at her.
In the corner, someone smiled faintly. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys understand what Mrs. Gu is trying to say? If it was her biological child, she would have said it out loud.¡±
Lin Yin saw that the person who spoke was Wang Yun and chuckled. ¡°Wang Yun, your family almost went bankrupt. Do you think you¡¯re so great? Aren¡¯t you afraid of karma?¡±
For the sake of her pride, Wang Yun did not stay quiet. ¡°There are so many people here, and I¡¯m not the only one who¡¯s curious. Why are you only targeting me? Besides, is what I said unreasonable?¡±
It was reasonable, that was why everyone was suspicious.
If she was her biological son, why didn¡¯t she stand up for her?
The rumors that were about to be quelled were once again revived.
¡°Gu Chu and Mrs. Gu indeed don¡¯t look alike.¡±
¡°A child should look like their parents.¡±
¡°Then she¡¯s not her biological daughter. Look at First Miss Gu, she looks very simr to Mrs. Gu.¡±
The voices entered Gu Chu¡¯s ears, slowly dissolving the courage and calmness that Gu Chu had just built up.
¡°There¡¯s no need for food anymore, since everyone is full from the gossip.¡± Pei Xin held Gu Chu¡¯s hand. ¡°I told you this kind of banquet is meaningless. Let¡¯s go.¡±
Chapter 200 - Substitute for Gu Wan
Chapter 200: Substitute for Gu Wan
Gu Chu stumbled as she was dragged away. Suddenly, another hand grabbed her. She turned around and saw that it was Gu Wan.
Lin Yin pulled her hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch Gu Chu with your dirty hand!¡±
How could Gu Wan let Gu Chu leave at this time?
She held her tightly and looked at Mrs. Gu. ¡°Mom, you¡¯d better tell them everything at this point. Otherwise, the rumors will linger. Just like me, even after I have returned to the Gu family, the things that happened before will stay with me for the rest of my life.¡±
She was clearly hinting at her mother. She paused and looked at Gu Chu and Gu Chu returned her gaze.
Strangely, Gu Chu actually saw the struggle in her eyes.
So, she really wasn¡¯t her biological child?
No, she couldn¡¯t believe it!
Back then, she only thought that her mother was biased.
She had never thought that she wasn¡¯t her biological child!
¡°Gu Chu has been in the Gu family for so many years. Everyone in the Gu family, including her cousins, has been very good to her. They won¡¯t change just because she¡¯s not your biological child,¡± Gu Wan made it very clear to everyone. ¡°Mom, just say it. No matter what, Gu Chu is still a member of the Gu family.¡±
Wang Yun said in a high-pitched voice in the crowd, ¡°Mrs. Gu, just say it!¡±
Her sister, Jiang Qing, also said, ¡°Yes, just one word. Tell us quickly!¡±
Gu Chu wanted to shake off Pei Xin¡¯s hand, but Pei Xin refused to let go. She looked up, and Pei Xin¡¯s expression was tense.
Pei Xin wanted to take her away from here. Could it be that he knew something?
Gu Chu called out in a low voice, ¡°Pei Xin.¡±
Pei Xin was only one year older than Gu Chu, and she rarely addressed him in a serious manner. They always bullied each other the moment they met. At this moment, there was only sincerity in her voice.
Pei Xin gritted his teeth. Ever since he knew about her blood type, he knew that the truth would be revealed sooner orter.
Gu Chu shook Gu Wan off and walked past Lin Yin, Lin Yu, and Lu Shen. She finally arrived in front of Mrs. Gu.
Gu Wan was right about one thing. At this point, there must be an answer.
¡°Am I your biological daughter?¡± Gu Chu asked with a dry throat.
Mrs. Gu stood on the steps. The mother and daughter stood face to face. The entire hall quieted down.
At this moment, there wasplete silence.
Gu Chu¡¯s lips twitched. Before she could speak, Mrs. Gu said slowly, ¡°at that time, you were still very young. I had forgotten that I actually never liked you when you arrived.¡±
She said the moment she came to the Gu family, not from the moment she was born.
Even though Gu Chu already figured it out, now that she had finally heard the truth, her mind became nk.
Mrs. Gu looked at the chandelier and recalled the past. ¡°At that time, you came to me and called me ¡®mom¡¯. I pushed your hand away, but you kepting back...¡±
¡°You were only three years old at that time. How could you tell what the adults were thinking?¡±
Mrs. Gu recalled the past and looked at Gu Chu coldly. ¡°But I didn¡¯t like other people¡¯s children. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡±
The color on Gu Chu¡¯s face faded as if she had fallen into an ice cer.
¡°Later, Gu Wan went missing. My only daughter went missing. I couldn¡¯t find her no matter how hard I tried. I felt like I was going crazy until you walked up to me and called me ¡® mom¡¯. I seemed to have heard Gu Wan calling me ¡®mom¡¯.¡±
Her words moved many people, but Gu Chu was indifferent, as if Mrs. Gu was just talking to herself.
She continued, ¡°from that day on, I tried to look for Gu Wan in you. In fact, the two of you don¡¯t look like each other at all, but I couldn¡¯t help it. If I didn¡¯t transfer my longing and love to you, would I have survived the pain of losing my daughter?¡±
So that was it.
She pursed her lips. ¡°No wonder you hated me the moment Gu Wan came back.¡±
So she was just a substitute for Gu Wan.
Mrs. Gu shook her head. ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve always hated you.¡±
These words were like a hammer smashing into Gu Chu¡¯s heart.
She could not remain calm. ¡°You lied to me!¡±
Chapter 201 - Who was She?
Chapter 201: Who was She?
??
Mrs. Gu said, ¡°you can choose not to trust the paternity test, nor my words. But you have to believe the blood type test. Yours is type AB.¡±
Mr. Gu was type O, and Mrs. Gu was type B, so how could she give birth to a child with blood type AB?
In other words, she, Gu Chu, was not their child at all!
Gu Chu wanted to turn around and ask Pei Xin if this was true, but he did not have the courage to face her.
The others also looked at Pei Xin, but he was expressionless. It was silent acknowledgement.
Lin Yu frowned. Lin Yin froze, while Lu Shen looked at Gu Chu¡¯s back worriedly. Meng Lang scratched his head, then lowered his head and sent a message to Wang Xiao. But Wang Xiao was now in the army, he wouldn¡¯t be able to see the message.
Even Mrs. Gu had admitted that Gu Chu was not their biological daughter. This matter was confirmed. Therefore, the stic sisters who never liked Gu Chu finally dared to speak up.
¡°The Gu family is a prestigious family. How would they give birth to such a vicious and selfish person like her? Her biological parents must have low morals!¡±
¡°She still wants to be the vice president of the Gu Corporation? Does she really think that she¡¯s part of the Gu family?¡±
Hearing this, Director Qiao silently took out his phone and removed the congrattory message he posted on his social media.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that this banquet was to celebrate Gu Chu¡¯s promotion to vice president.
However, since no one stopped them, their words became more and more outrageous.
¡°Isn¡¯t she trying to oppress Miss Gu? She even wants to steal Miss Gu¡¯s fianc¨¦. Now that we know the truth, why don¡¯t you hurry up and return the things you took from her?¡±
¡°She had to. She¡¯s not the real daughter of the Gu family. The Feng family won¡¯t take her in.¡±
Feng Huai raised his eyebrows. As someone who didn¡¯t mind watching the show, he also wanted to know what his brother would do if he were here. Would he choose the real Miss Gu or Gu Chu?
It was a pity that he wasn¡¯t here right now.
The more Lin Yin listened to those words, the angrier she felt. ¡°What are you implying? Do you think Gu Chu lied to get into the Gu family? Even if she¡¯s not the Gu family¡¯s biological daughter, she¡¯s still legally adopted by them.¡±
¡°Even if you don¡¯t know thew, you should at least know to look it up on the inte. The adopted child enjoys the same rights as the biological child. The Gu family didn¡¯t chase her away. She¡¯s part of the Gu family!¡±
Of course, there were also some smart youngdies present, they immediately retorted loudly, ¡°Lin Yin, can¡¯t you tell? Someone must have nned for today¡¯s incident. Besides, whoever dares to expose Gu Chu¡¯s identity must be one of the Gu family members.¡±
Thedy beside her echoed, ¡°that¡¯s right. Chairman Wang is also a director of the Gu Corporation. Only the Gu family can order him around. Aren¡¯t you curious about where Chairman Gu went? I think it¡¯s all fake that he¡¯s unwell. In fact, he doesn¡¯t want to be here and feel awkward.¡±
Lin Yin suddenly became silent.
Someone echoed, ¡°even a fool can see that the Gu family doesn¡¯t want Gu Chu anymore!¡±
Gu Chu no longer cared about these things. She even found it difficult to speak. ¡°Then, who am I?¡±
Chapter 202 - Feng Jia Caught Her
Chapter 202: Feng Jia Caught Her
If she wasn¡¯t their daughter, then who was she?
Gu Chu looked at Mrs. Gu with a pale face. ¡°Who are my biological parents?¡±
After a long time, she slowly said, ¡°you¡¯re just an abandoned child.¡±
Gu Chu subconsciously took a step back.
So it wasn¡¯t that the Gu family that abandoned her, she was abandoned from the start.
An abandoned child.
It was as if the world was ending. Gu Chu clutched her chest, and she took a step back again. Gu Wan looked down and used her feet to hook up a corner of the carpet.
Gu Chu¡¯s high heels tripped on the carpet, and she stumbled. She lost her bnce and fell backward.
At that critical moment, many hands tried to catch her, but she wanted to avoid them. She thought it would be better if she just fainted.
However, a pair of hands managed to catch her. The smell of pine rushed into her nostrils. It was a familiar smell that she missed.
Gu Chu looked at him with tears in her eyes. She looked even sadder thanst time when they were in the bar.
He swallowed and looked up at Mrs. Gu. His voice was cold and hard. ¡°Abandoned child?¡±
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. ¡°Mrs. Gu, do you want to reconsider your answer?¡±
......
In the silence, someone shouted, ¡°CEO Feng is here!¡±
Gu Chu held his arm tightly like a drowning person holding onto a buoy and refused to let go.
Feng Jia helped her steady herself. Then, he nced at the raised carpet and then at Gu Wan.
That nce was cold, and it made Gu Wan¡¯s back go numb.
She subconsciously retracted her foot. She wanted to say that she did not do it on purpose, but Feng Jia¡¯s gaze did not linger on her.
Feng Jia felt that Gu Chu¡¯s body was very cold. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her. Then, he used his thumb to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
¡°I¡¯ve only been away for a short while. How did you end up in such a sorry state?¡±
As soon as he said this, Gu Chu¡¯s tears fell like a stream. She wanted to ask him why he left her. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
She was no longer the daughter of the Gu family. She was just an abandoned child. She had never been so upset and humiliated in her life.
The guests who were chattering did not speak recklessly when they saw that he was so protective of Gu Chu. Only thedy who had started the trouble earlier raised her voice and said, ¡°CEO Feng, you still don¡¯t know? Gu Chu is not the daughter of the Gu family at all. She doesn¡¯t have the right to marry into the Feng family!¡±
Feng Jia had indeed never seen Gu Chu cry so miserably before. He said with heartache, ¡°indeed, she¡¯s not part of the Gu family anymore.¡±
His indifferent attitude toward Gu Chu¡¯s identity still puzzled many people.
Gu Wan rolled her eyes and said, ¡°CEO Feng, although Gu Chu isn¡¯t the biological daughter, she will always be a member of the Gu family. This won¡¯t change.¡±
Feng Jia replied immediately, ¡°there¡¯s no need for that.¡±
Gu Wan: ¡°...¡±
She bit her lower lip and was a little confused. Why was he still so protective of Gu Chu?
Moreover, when Gu Chu almost fell, there were so many people trying to catch her.
Did they not understand what¡¯s happening?
Gu Chu was no longer the daughter of the Gu family!
Chapter 203 - He would not Let Anyone Bully Her
Chapter 203: He would not Let Anyone Bully Her
Gu Wan red at Wang Yun, who immediately said, ¡°Gu Wan, why are you so kind-hearted? Are you willing to hand yourpany over to your adopted sister?¡±
The other CEOs would not have done the same. They would leave theirpany to their biological children no matter how much they loved them.
Jiang Qing agreed, ¡°that¡¯s right. Adopted children are never the same as your own flesh and blood. CEO Feng, even if you pity her, you can¡¯t really marry her, right? The Feng family is bound by marriage to the Gu family¡¯s daughter.¡±
Lu Shen felt that if this continued, Gu Chu would only get hurt, so he said to Feng Jia, ¡°Feng Jia, take Chu Chu away.¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°it¡¯s not toote to leave after we¡¯ve cleared things up.¡±
He protected Gu Chu behind him and said to the crowd, ¡°I can¡¯t let you guys bully my woman without any reason.¡±
His thoughts were clear. No matter what Gu Chu¡¯s identity was, she was still his woman.
Feng Huai initially felt that it was a pity that he couldn¡¯t see his brother¡¯s reaction. He didn¡¯t think that he woulde so soon. He raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°did dad agree to what you just said?¡±
The Feng family was willing to let him marry the Gu family¡¯s adopted daughter? How was that possible?
Feng Jia did not even look at him. Instead, he stared at Mrs. Gu and said, ¡°aunty, you haven¡¯t answered my question just now.¡±
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips. ¡°We adopted Gu Chu from the orphanage, so it is right to say that she is an abandoned child.¡±
The moment the words ¡°abandoned child¡± were uttered, everyone looked at Gu Chu as if they wanted to murder her. She lowered her head in helplessness.
She only found out that she was an orphan after more than two decades?
......
Feng Jia said coldly, ¡°is that so?¡±
Mrs. Gu repeated, ¡°yes.¡±
Things had happened too quickly, so much so that no one had time to think about it. Now that they thought about it carefully, there were some doubts about the statement. Lu Shen was the first to feel puzzled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t we know about it?¡±
When Gu Chu arrived at the Gu family, she was not an infant but a three-year-old child who could walk and talk. But why did no one ever question it?
It made sense if the younger generation did not know about it, but it didn¡¯t make sense that the elders in the family did not know about it either.
Mrs. Gu exined, ¡°back when the Gu Corporation was expanding overseas, my husband was unable to be in two ces at one time. I served as a vice president for a period of time and was in charge of the overseas branches. At that time, I was abroad most of the time. Gu Wan was only four years old at that time, and I couldn¡¯t leave her and took her with me.¡±
Uncle Li seemed to have thought of something and nodded. ¡°At that time, Chairman Gu and I were in charge of the headquarters, while Mrs. Gu was stationed overseas.¡±
Mrs. Gu continued, ¡°I lived abroad for several years and rarely contacted my rtives here. They didn¡¯t even know how I was doing, so after we adopted Gu Chu, we told everyone that she was my child.¡±
Someone said, ¡°Chairman Gu and Mrs. Gu were too kind. They didn¡¯t want Gu Chu to feel inferior because she was adopted. That¡¯s why they hid it from their friends and family, so that everyone would think that she was their biological child.¡±
Feng Jia lowered his head to look at Gu Chu. ¡°Did they gang up on you just now?¡±
Gu Chu looked at him. He said, ¡°they are better liars than you.
Chapter 204 - 100 Million Yuan
Chapter 204: 100 Million Yuan
Gu Wan was angry when she heard his words. ¡°Mr. Feng, what do you mean? Is that not the truth then?¡±
¡°Ha, even if times have changed, some things can¡¯t be kept hidden forever.¡± Feng Jia¡¯s lips curled into a sneer. ¡°Orphan?¡±
¡°Why didn¡¯t Mrs. Gu mention that Gu Chu¡¯s biological parents invested 100 million yuan to save the Gu Corporation?¡±
What?! 100 million yuan? More than 20 years ago?
Gu Chu looked at Feng Jia in shock.
Feng Jia continued, ¡°by the way, it was 100 million yuan more than 20 years ago.¡±
At that time, money was really valuable.
Even now, it was still a lot of money.
Someone blurted out, ¡°then it was worth half of the Gu Corporation at that time, right?¡±
Mrs. Gu was caught off guard and stumbled. Fortunately, she managed to hold on to the handrail of the stairs in time, so she didn¡¯t fall. However, she looked very embarrassed.
She was extremely shocked deep down. How did Feng Jia know about it?
Feng Jia rarely spoke to his elders like this, but this time, he was also angered by the shamelessness of the Gu family.
If he hade a littleter, he couldn¡¯t imagine how badly his little rose would be bullied.
......
Since they had all chosen to be shameless, there was no need for him to show mercy.
¡°100 million saved the Gu Corporation, which was struggling and was on the verge of bankruptcy. After that, you received a sum of money. Rather than saying that you adopted Gu Chu, it would be more urate to say that it was Gu Chu¡¯s parents who hired you to take care of her.¡±
¡°The Gu Corporation managed to survive with the money. And you have the nerve to call Gu Chu an orphan? Without the 100 million yuan, it is still uncertain whether the Gu Corporation would exist now. Mrs. Gu, you can not be ungrateful.¡±
Silence.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button. There were so many people, but it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin dropping.
A waiter was so shocked by the gossip that he identally dropped his wine ss. With a ng, the silence in the hall was broken.
Someone asked, ¡°is this true?¡±
Is this true? Director Qiao pped his head. ¡°I remember this! 22 years ago, the Gu Corporation indeed faced a crisis. At that time, the Lin family even helped them out. Isn¡¯t that right, CEO Lin? Do you remember?¡±
Lin Yu frowned. He was still a child at that time, how would he know? Even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t think too much about it.
But Feng Jia was very convincing.
Moreover, a discerning person could tell at a nce that there was something wrong with Mrs. Gu¡¯s expression.
It was obvious that she was guilty and shocked after her lie had been exposed!
Feng Huai looked at the Gu family, then at Feng Jia. He leaned against the white jade pir and said, ¡°so the Gu family took the money but they said such things about their savior¡¯s child. How rude.¡±
He was a spectator. He did not stand on either side and was eager to just watch the show.
Gu Wan took a step forward and shouted hysterically, ¡°impossible! Where did her biological parentse from?!¡±
Mrs. Gu did not tell her about this at all, nor did she tell her about the 100 million yuan. Gu Chu was just an orphan!
¡°CEO Feng, you can¡¯t make up things just to protect Gu Chu!¡±
Gu Chu was confused. Did she have a family?
Chapter 205 - Exposed
Chapter 205: Exposed
She looked at Feng Jia. ¡°Do you know who my biological parents are?¡±
Feng Jia patted her back andforted her. Then, they saw a person rushing in from the door. He said, ¡°am I making things up? I don¡¯t think anyone knows better than Chairman Gu, right?¡±
Mr. Gu finally arrived. He was panting. He had heard about what had happened on the way and was furious.
¡°Since Chairman Gu doesn¡¯t want to tell us, let¡¯s just look at the evidence.¡± Feng Jia waved his hand.
Unlike Lu Shen and Pei Xin, who were rted to the Gu family by blood, and Lin Yu who was a docile person, Meng Lang and Lin Yin enjoyed watching the show.
They liked this kind of brutal showdown!
Suddenly, a screen slowly fell from the stage, and the lights in the room dimmed.
A financial statement was projected on the screen.
Susan slowly walked out from behind, she said slowly, ¡°this is the financial statement of Gu Corporation that was made public 22 years ago. You can see here that apany registered as GC injected 100 million into Gu Corporation, holding only 1% of the shares.¡±
1%? This investment was basically a charity event.
Susan pressed a button on the remote control, and the screen showed another report.
¡°This is the financial statement three yearster. You can see here that GC sold 1% of the shares to Chairman Gu, at...¡± Susan said, ¡°only 1 yuan.¡±
¡°GC is Gu Chu¡¯s initials.¡±
......
The evidence was irrefutable!
Even thepany¡¯s registered name was Gu Chu¡¯s initials, so even if the Gu family wanted to refute it, they couldn¡¯t.
Thedy that was adding oil to fire just now had withdrawn into her group, she could only whisper in annoyance, ¡°oh, so her biological parents were afraid that something like this could happen, so they registered thepany under her name?¡±
Mr. and Mrs. Gu expressions turned ugly.
Mr. Gu had received a phone call saying that something major had happened at a construction site under the Gu Corporation, so he had to rush over. However, nothing happened. Then, he received a phone call from Feng Jia, who told him that Mrs. Gu had told everyone about Gu Chu¡¯s background at the banquet, so he rushed back.
However, he was still a step toote.
He could not calm down the anger in his heart. He looked at Mrs. Gu with red eyes. ¡°Why did you tell everyone?! Are you satisfied with the situation now?!¡±
After hiding it for so many years, he waspletely unprepared for the truth to be revealed so suddenly.
Moreover, under such circumstances, how could he not be angry?
Mrs. Gu held onto the stairs and clenched her nails tightly.
¡°Are you ming me?¡±
¡°Then why did you give Gu Chu the position that originally belonged to our daughter? Have you ever considered Gu Wan¡¯s feelings? Do you know how much suffering she had to endure toe back?¡±
¡°Feng Jia¡¯s engagement has been given to Gu Chu, and the position of vice president of the Gu Corporation will be given to her as well. If I don¡¯t expose her identity, what will our daughter, Gu Wan, get? If I don¡¯t fight for her, she will end up with nothing!¡±
Gu Chu had experienced a lot today. She felt tired as she leaned into Feng Jia¡¯s arms. Feng Jia held her close.
¡°Mrs. Gu, you¡¯re too anxious. Chairman Gu only appointed her as the vice president,¡± Feng Jia said. ¡°Gu Chu does not own thepany.¡±
Mrs. Gu raised her voice and shouted, ¡°that won¡¯t do either! She can¡¯t be better than Gu Wan! She just can¡¯t!¡±
Chapter 206 - Gu Wan’s Past
Chapter 206: Gu Wan¡¯s Past
A woman who had been silent all this time could not help but say, ¡°even if you only see Gu Chu as a substitute for your daughter, she¡¯s treated you as her mother for more than 20 years. Are you so heartless? Don¡¯t you feel anything towards her at all?¡±
Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Chu, but Gu Chu did not look at her. Instead, she buried her head into Feng Jia¡¯s chest.
Mrs. Gu shook her head. Perhaps it was only for two seconds, but she could not stand to see her own daughter like that, so she had no other choice.
Feng Jia looked at Susan and she pressed the button on the remote control. At this moment, a photo appeared on the screen.
Gu Wan¡¯s pupils were constricted.
It was a photo of a vige. From the dirt road and the dpidated walls, it could be seen that the vige was in a very rural area.
¡°Ms. Gu had indeed suffered a lot, but when she was eight years old, she was jealous of her sister. She wanted to abandon her, but coincidentally, she was abducted. The ce where she was abducted to was here, a small vige in the mountains, a ce that was so isted from the rest of the world that there was no connection ormunication to the city.¡±
¡°In other words, she didn¡¯t have a chance to escape.¡±
Susan continued, ter, she fell seriously ill and had a fever for three days. When she woke up, she lost her memory and forgot who she was. Only a few months ago, the Gu family found her and brought her to the hospital for treatment. Only then did she remember who she was. It was really sad.¡±
Gu Wan cried out, ¡°shut up!¡±
Susan looked at her, her voice was stoic. ¡°But Ms. Gu Chu is innocent. She didn¡¯t do anything, yet she was targeted by you. I can only say that this dark mentality of yours has never changed since you were young. This could be...¡±
Lin Yin recalled that someone said that Gu Chu did not seem like she was part of the Gu family. She quickly added, ¡°the blood of the Gu family!¡±
Lu Shen: ¡°...¡±
......
Although he could not refute it, his mother was also part of the Gu family!
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she was trembling. ¡°What right do you have to say that?¡±
Susan bowed slightly to her and continued, ¡°Mrs. Gu, do you really think that Ms. Gu Wan truly loves you and Chairman Gu?¡±
Mrs. Gu was stunned.
Mr. Gu¡¯s face turned livid.
¡°If she did, she wouldn¡¯t have asked you to reveal Ms. Gu Chu¡¯s background in public. Does she not know the consequences? She knew how much impact this incident would have on the Gu family and the Gu Corporation. Her intentions were suspicious. Mrs. Gu, I sincerely suggest that you bring her to a therapist. Her mental state is very abnormal and even distorted.¡±
Someone continued, ¡°she¡¯s only eight years old, yet she wanted to abandon her younger sister. Is this something that humans do? It might be pointless to see a doctor, she¡¯s born with it.¡±
Although no one else said anything, they still nodded in agreement.
Gu Chu said in a low voice, ¡°did you ask your secretary to say these words?¡±
Feng Jia replied, ¡°yes.¡±
Gu Chu closed her eyes tiredly.
Gu Wan watched helplessly as the tables turned. Moreover, everyone was looking at her strangely. She was... defeated?
She took a step back. No, it was impossible. She couldn¡¯t have lost so quickly!
Pei Xin saw an apple on the ground and kicked it
Chapter 207 - Gu Wan’s Rebuttal
Chapter 207: Gu Wan¡¯s Rebuttal
Pei Xin had always been different from Lu Shen. He did not believe in the saying that men should always be nice to women. He even bullied Gu Chu, so let alone other vicious women.
As expected of a surgeon, the angle of his kick was precise, and the apple rolled right under Gu Wan¡¯s feet.
Gu Wan happened to step on it, and she tripped and fell to the ground.
No one was there to help her. She was in a sorry state and was a joke in everyone¡¯s eyes.
Gu Wan finally exploded at this moment. ¡°Why can¡¯t I take revenge on her?¡±
She looked at Gu Chu¡¯s expression as if she wanted to eat her alive. ¡°I was only seven years old then. My father brought a little girl home and said she was my sister. He treated her better than me. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to be jealous? If it were you, would you be able to share your parents¡¯ love?¡±
Could they see that she was actually a victim?
¡°That human trafficker shaved off my hair and sold me to the Chen family as a boy. Later, when the human trafficker left, the person who bought me saw that I was actually a girl and vented all his anger on me. I wanted to escape, but I couldn¡¯t. Every day, I waited for my parents to save me, but they didn¡¯t! I¡¯ve been waiting for a long time. I didn¡¯t have enough to eat, and if I didn¡¯t do my job well, I¡¯d be beaten up. I fell sick, and the Chen family didn¡¯t care about me. They wanted to let me die. Did I deserve this?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t all of this caused by her?¡± Gu Wan bit her lip and pointed at Gu Chu. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for her, I wouldn¡¯t have been sold! I swore that I would make her pay!¡±
Gu Chu left Feng Jia¡¯s arms when she heard that. She looked at the woman on the ground who was screaming at the top of her lungs. She was wearing a flowy dress tonight. She was supposed to look like a princess, but now, she looked like a lunatic.
Gu Chu let go of Feng Jia¡¯s hand. Feng Jia looked at her in confusion.
She walked to the long table, picked up an empty ss, and poured a full ss of wine. Then, she turned around and walked to Gu Wan. She looked down and raised her hand, pouring all the wine in the ss on her head.
Gu Wan cried out in surprise and covered her face.
......
Gu Chu lowered her eyes and said coldly, ¡°I didn¡¯t choose toe to this family, nor did I do anything bad to you.¡±
¡°Twenty years ago, I sincerely treated you as my sister. You said that you would take me out, so I trusted you blindly. Later, even though I realized that you wanted to abandon me, I didn¡¯t think of telling our parents. When you came back, I still respected you as my sister. I thought that it was just apse of judgment back then, so I treated you well. Ask yourself, there aren¡¯t many in the world who would do what I did, right?¡±
¡°And how did you treat me? You ndered and spread rumors about me. I tolerated you time and time again, but what did I get in return? Gu Wan, I never owed you anything. What right do you have to hate me?¡±
¡°Take that selfish and dirty heart of yours and get out of my world with your equally mean and stupid mother. Don¡¯t ever appear in front of me again, because you are not worthy!¡±
Chapter 208 - It’s Not Over Yet
Chapter 208: It¡¯s Not Over Yet
Gu Chu did not shout at her, nor was she hysterical. Her tone was calm, but firm.
From this moment on, she had nothing to do with the Gu family anymore.
After Gu Chu finished speaking, she walked to Feng Jia and did not look at anyone else.
Feng Jia wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his arms.
Before Susan could finish her sentence, she looked down at Gu Wan, who seemed to be in a daze from Gu Chu¡¯s scolding. ¡°Ms. Gu, so your adoptive parents did not treat you well?¡±
Gu Wan wiped her tears and tried to wipe the wine stains off her face. However, that caused her makeup to be smeared as well.
She didn¡¯t really care anymore. ¡°Why would they be good to me? Moreover, they value sons over daughters.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve known since I was young that studying was my only way out. It was the only way I could escape from there. I studied hard and got first ce in every exam. Even so, after I finished junior high school, they wouldn¡¯t let me continue!¡±
If the vige authority had not made it mandatory toplete nine years of education, she might not even have been able to attend school.
¡°Fortunately, I met a good teacher. It was she who helped me convince them and paid for my tuition. Only then could I leave the vige and go into town to study. I thought that after I finished my studies, I would be able to get into university and out of that ce.¡±
¡°But¡¡± Sheughed out loud, ¡°in the third year of high school, they received a dowry. They wanted to marry me off! They wanted to destroy my life!¡±
Mrs. Gu knew about her past, but no matter how many times she heard it, her heart still ached. She quickly stepped forward to hug her daughter and shed tears with her.
Mr. Gu also sighed deeply. He turned around and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
......
Hearing this, everyone felt sympathy for her.
The Gu family¡¯s eldest daughter was suddenly kidnapped and sold into such a miserable life. If she had stayed in the Gu family, her future would definitely have been bright. She would definitely not be like this.
No wonder Mrs. Gu pampered her so unconditionally. She felt sorry for her own daughter.
Gu Chu lowered her eyes and thought to herself, ¡°in order to pay off her debts, Gu Wan became a mistress. She was beaten and scolded, and she wasted her college education. She paid the price for her actions when she was eight years old.¡±
One wrong move had changed her life.
Gu Chu did not want to listen to it anymore. She said in a low voice, ¡°let¡¯s go.¡±
Feng Jia said, ¡°this matter is not over yet.¡±
Susan said slowly, ¡°so, you instigated Shen Shan to kill your adoptive parents, is that right?¡±
Gu Wan trembled and shouted, ¡°no!¡±
As soon as she said that, arge group of police officers rushed in from outside the door.
What¡¯s happening?
The guests all took a step back in surprise.
¡°You can tell the police yourself.¡± Susan nodded slightly,pleting the task that Feng Jia had given her.
However, she still had some personal things to say to her.
¡°I also have a sister. Our rtionship has always been very bad. My parents preferred her and often gave her my share of allowance. I¡¯m also very upset.¡±
¡°However, I¡¯m not jealous. Instead, I chose to be independent. I stayed away from them, and supported myself.¡±
¡°Jealousy and resentment are all very normal emotions, but they should not be grounds formitting a crime. Because in the end, you¡¯re the one who pays the price.¡±
Chapter 209 - Gu Wan was Taken Away
Chapter 209: Gu Wan was Taken Away
¡°You made the wrong choice from the start,¡± Susan said expressionlessly.
Feng Huai suddenlyughed when he heard that. It was a pity that Su Xin was not around to hear this.
The police wanted to arrest Gu Wan. Mrs. Gu quickly held her tightly. ¡°What are you doing?¡±
The police said, ¡°Gu Wan, you are a suspect for two assault cases. Pleasee with us.¡±
As the police officer was about to arrest Gu Wan, she suddenly panicked and hid behind her mother. ¡°No! I am not going with you. Mom, help me!¡±
Mrs. Gu pushed the police officer away. She was now a wolf protecting her cub. ¡°Don¡¯t touch my daughter! I won¡¯t allow you to take my daughter away!¡±
Mr. Gu hurriedly exined, ¡°sir, is there a misunderstanding? Shen Shan is crazy. We don¡¯t even know him!¡±
The officer shook his head. It wasn¡¯t like they didn¡¯t know the Gu family¡¯s status in Haicheng City. If they didn¡¯t have enough evidence, they wouldn¡¯t havee to arrest her.
¡°Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, please don¡¯t make things difficult for us.¡± The leading officer waved his hand. ¡°Take her away!¡±
The four officers immediately stepped forward and pushed Mrs. Gu away. Two of them went to grab Gu Wan¡¯s arm.
They also held Mrs. Gu¡¯s arm. She no longer cared about her image. She shouted in front of all the guests, ¡°no! let go of my daughter! Gu Wan!¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t kill anyone! I didn¡¯t!¡± Gu Wan shouted loudly, she had never thought that things would turn out like this. Why? Gu Chu¡¯s reputation was supposed to fall apart. Why was she the one who was arrested in the end?
Someone covered their mouth and said, ¡°oh my, this is the first time someone in your circle is arrested, right? Gu Wan doesn¡¯t have to be jealous of Gu Chu anymore. She¡¯s now the one and only!¡±
......
Gu Wan was still struggling. ¡°Mom, save me!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve suffered so much to return to your side! You said you would make it up to me! You said it! Hurry up and save me!¡±
¡°Gu Chu! It¡¯s your fault! You¡¯re nothing but an orphan picked up by the Gu family!¡±
¡°You don¡¯t even have biological parents! You¡¯re just a bastard!¡±
When Gu Wan was dragged out by the police, she did not stop cursing. She med everything on others, except herself. Her screams were ear-piercing and terrifying.
The police let go of Mrs. Gu.She stumbled to the door, but she could only watch as Gu Wan was dragged into the police car and disappeared into the night.
She broke down and screamed. She ran back to the hall and grabbed Feng Jia¡¯s arm. ¡°Feng Jia, you¡¯re the one who called the police, right? Tell them to let Gu Wan go!¡±
Feng Jia was unmoved. She grabbed Gu Chu who was next to her. ¡°Gu Wan is your sister. Do you really have the heart to watch her be taken away? It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how much she has suffered!¡±
Gu Chu sneered. This was the first time she had seen her mother lose herposure like this, and it was for Gu Wan, the flesh of her heart.
Feng Jia pushed Mrs. Gu¡¯s hand away and said, ¡°Mrs. Gu, karma is what it is. Gu Wan brought this upon herself.¡±
Mrs. Gu raised her head abruptly, her body trembling non-stop.
Karma?
It came for her after so many years?
She thought of what she had done in the past, feeling the anger and fear. She hugged herself and muttered continuously.
Is this karma?
Chapter 210-end - The End
Chapter 210: The End
Lu Shen frowned. No matter what, Mrs. Gu was still his aunt. He walked up to her and helped her up. ¡°I¡¯ll take you home.¡±
Mrs. Gu suddenly screamed and fainted in his arms.
Lu Shen shouted, ¡°call the ambnce!¡±
Finally, Mrs. Gu was sent to the hospital. Mr. Gu was also helped back to his room to rest because of his elevated blood pressure. He could no longer care about anything else.
Lu Shen stayed behind to deal with the aftermath and evacuate the guests.
Lu Shen sent the guests away at the door and begged them not to tell anyone about what happened.
Although they said that they would not tell anyone, how could so many people keep their mouths shut?
The news of the eldest daughter of the Gu family being taken away by the police would probably spread before dawn. Additional;y, the second daughter of the Gu family was not their biological daughter. Mrs. Gu fainted on the spot and was sent to the hospital, meanwhile, Chairman Gu was in hiding.
Gu Chu walked out of the door and looked up at the night sky. Her heart was dead silent.
Susan drove the car over and got out of the car. She handed the car keys to Feng Jia. Feng Jia said to Gu Chu, ¡°get in the car and wait for me.¡±
Gu Chu got into the passenger seat.
Feng Jia said to Pei Xin, Lin Yu and the others who had followed them, ¡°she¡¯s tired. Let¡¯s talk about it another day.¡±
Everyone nodded in understanding.
......
Although they had won the battle, Gu Chu had not won because she had lost her parents.
Gu Chu valued rtionships very much. At the moment, she felt utterly miserable.
Pei Xin nodded. ¡°Take good care of her. Don¡¯t let her drink too much.¡±
Feng Jia nodded and got into the car.
Gu Chu had been looking out of the window in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
Feng Jia pulled the seatbelt and fastened it on her. Then, he stepped on the elerator and drove away.
Gu Chu was in a daze. It took her a long time toe back to her senses. She realized that the car had been driving for a long time, but why wasn¡¯t she home yet?
She looked out of the window again. It was pitch ck outside. She frowned slightly. ¡°Are we not going home?¡±
Feng Jia pressed a button and opened the roof of the car. It turned into a sports car. The cold wind immediately hit her face. Gu Chu was caught off guard and choked. ¡°What?¡±
¡°I¡¯m taking you for a ride,¡± he said.
With that, he sped up.
60, 80, 100...
The car sped up, and Gu Chu¡¯s hair fluttered in the wind. She was so shocked that she grabbed the handle of the car!
Why was he suddenly so wild?
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes and shouted, ¡°Feng Jia, slow down!¡±
Was this something Feng Jia would do? Wasn¡¯t he the kind of person who would bring her to the beach to rx?
As Gu Chu thought of this, the cold wind blew, and she felt more and more excited!
She suddenly let go of the handle of the car. When she realized that her body was not so tense anymore, she felt pretty good. Suddenly, she shouted loudly on the deste mountain road, ¡°Ah!¡±
This shout brought out all the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart.
F * ck the Gu family, f * ck the position of vice president!
She didn¡¯t want any of it!
Feng Jia drove all the way to the top of the mountain in one breath. He reached 200 mph on thest stretch of the road. Suddenly, he mmed on the brakes and stopped at the edge of the cliff. It was all quiet around them and they could only hear each other¡¯s heartbeats.
Gu Chu¡¯s brain was hot. ¡°Feng Jia, I love you.¡±
Feng Jia said in a low voice, ¡°I love you too.¡±
He took out the household register from his pocket and said, ¡°I took this from your house earlier.¡±
Gu Chu: ¡°?¡±
Feng Jia continued, ¡°let¡¯s get married, my little rose.¡±
Gu Chu was surprised. After hearing thetter part of his sentence, she thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. ¡°Okay.¡±
Feng Jia smiled. ¡°We¡¯ll go get the certificate tomorrow.¡±
Gu Chu replied readily, ¡°okay!¡±
