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 plane when he suddenly received a few text messages. He raised his eyebrows.
Two hours later, Gu Chu finally finished shopping. She waited for Lin Yin to try on her clothes.
She then texted Pei Xin, “Are you coming to the dinner party tomorrow? It’s still not too late 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 too late 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-in-law’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 slap, 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 so late. What’s your mother doing outside?”
