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 relationship 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 explain 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 have come 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 and laughing 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 black 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 accident 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 accident? 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 blame someone, blame 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 glanced at her indifferently and then said to Mr. Gu, “Fortunately, she’s not injured. She’s resting at home now.”
