He whispered in her ear again, “Come back with me later.”
Go back to what? Dream on!
After glaring 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 accommodate her.
It would be quite awkward for a large 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.
In comparison, 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 are coming 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 finally coming 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 to come 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.
