Chapter 59: Find the Door
Gu Zhichuan was at the company and it would take a long time for him to return. Lin Mingzhuo wasn’t in the mood to wait for him.
The remaining issue pertained to the Gu family.
If Gu Zhichuan admitted it, the Gu family would feel ashamed.
If he denied it, he wouldn’t mind spreading the news to everyone.
After Mr. Lin left, it was a long while before Gu Zhichuan arrived home.
Upon entering, he immediately noticed Gu Guoliang’s displeased expression and his smoking.
As soon as Mrs. Gu saw him, she couldn’t wait and asked, “Lin Mingzhuo just came by and said you have a woman outside. Is it true?”
Being questioned by his mother right after coming home left Gu Zhichuan feeling tired. “The company is very busy. Did you call me back just for this?” “Did you?” Gu Guoliang asked calmly.
Gu Zhichuan hesitated. Under his father’s scrutinizing gaze, he finally said, “She has nowhere to go, so I’m just helping her.”
“What?!” Mrs. Gu exclaimed, “Is this happening?! When did this happen, and why didn’t you tell us?”
“I have no connection with her.” Gu Zhichuan furrowed his brow.
“If there’s no connection, then why did Lin Gantang run away from the wedding? Why would Lin Mingzhuo deliberately seek you out? Where did this woman come from that you’re helping her hide? Where is she?” Mrs. Gu was furious.
“She’s recuperating, please don’t disturb her.” Gu Zhichuan tried to stop her. “Mom, 1 know what to do.”
Understanding? If he truly understood, Lin Gantang wouldn’t have caused such a mess.
Seeing her son defending an unknown woman in her presence, Mrs. Gu was displeased. Holding back her anger, she said, “Tell me about this woman. If she’s suitable, 1 won’t interfere.”
Gu Zhichuan was getting a headache. “You don’t know her. Once she recovers, I’ll ask her to leave. Is that okay?”
Mrs. Gu wasn’t fully satisfied with his response. The more tightly Gu Zhichuan guarded the information, the more she felt that something was off.
Since Ruan Ning’s passing, Gu Zhichuan hadn’t shown any interest in anyone. As a mother, Mrs. Gu felt anxious about this sudden appearance of a mistress. She wanted to know more.
If the woman was from a well-matched family, that would be acceptable. But if she was an outsider trying to hook onto her son, that would be a problem.
Mrs. Gu was concerned. She wouldn’t feel at ease until she saw the situation for herself.
Judging from his son’s attitude, Gu Guoliang surmised that Lin Mingzhuo’s claims were probably true. Therefore, he didn’t stop Mrs. Gu, as he also wanted to verify the situation.
Mrs. Gu questioned the driver beside Gu Zhichuan. Unable to withstand the pressure, the driver drove Mrs. Gu to Grampian Garden.
“Is this property under Zhichuan’s name?” Mrs. Gu’s expression turned sour as soon as she entered the upscale neighborhood.
She had no idea when this had been arranged.
She got the door number from the driver and went upstairs alone.
She rang the doorbell, and a young woman in an apron opened the door.
The pure face under the long black hair and the body under the white dress looked a little like Ruan Ning. Mrs. Gu’s eyes went black.
“Auntie, who are you looking for?” Feng Yangyang asked from behind the half-open door.
“I’m Gu Zhichuan’s mother!” Mrs. Gu pushed the door open and entered.
Feng Yangyang was taken aback.
“What’s your name? What did your parents do?” Mrs. Gu walked in and looked around.
The interior materials, the furnishings in the living room and bedroom, and the spread of food on the coffee table, all were high-end items that required considerable wealth.
Feng Yangyang pinched her fingers nervously and replied, “I’m Feng Yangyang. My parents are no longer around.”
Mrs. Gu wasn’t satisfied with the background she heard. “Are you Zhichuan’s girlfriend?”
Feng Yangyang blushed and smiled but didn’t confirm or deny it. It was clear she wanted Mrs. Gu to draw her conclusions or misunderstand..
