But after they finished talking, Mrs. Gu said, “Hubby, Chuchu, don’t you think it’s time for Wanwan to go to the company 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 the company 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 would compete with her for power. Instead, she was too lazy 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 the company, she would be so tired and depressed.
However, her mother was only thinking about Gu Wan.
Gu Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
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 uncomfortably.
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 popular the crabs were.
The housekeeper heated the crab and placed it on a plate. When she brought it over, she glanced at Gu Chu with an awkward expression.
Gu Chu was puzzled by Mr. Gu and the housekeeper’s looks, so she looked at the plate.
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 place it in front of Gu Wan. She placed 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 were coming 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 placed it into Gu Wan’s bowl. She comforted 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.’ ”
