Chapter 184: Gu Chu’s Photo Album
Lu Shen arrived a little late. Looking at the chrysanthemum tea on their table, he couldn’t help but laugh. “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 platform. If she left Shengyan with a stain, it would be difficult for her to enter another good company.
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 the company 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 the company.”
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 the lanterns.”
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’s lap with her mouth closed. Her eyes were closed and she was about to fall asleep. Her small face was pink and her eyelashes 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 place, 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.
