Chapter 886: What Are You Waiting For, Waiting For Her To Get Divorced?
After Lin Gantang left and his mother forcibly arranged an engagement with Shi Muzhen for him, Gu Zhichuan’s attitude towards Mrs. Gu grew colder and colder.
Mrs. Gu often tried to interfere in his love life. She had given birth to Gu Zhichuan, and he couldn’t do anything against her, but he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he chose to distance himself.
The reason he was willing to accompany her to the concert today was because… Gu Zhichuan looked around, searching for the person he wanted to see, despite not being 100% certain she was here.
That Porsche outside belonged to Lin Gantang.
Seeing her son not talking to her and the concert yet to start, Mrs. Gu, bored out of her wits, glanced around. With one look, she recognized someone sitting in the front two rows as very familiar.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lin Gantang.
Mrs. Gu immediately turned to look at Gu Zhichuan and noticed that his eyes were firmly affixed to the front.
Mrs. Gu understood at once.
So why had her indifferent son changed his mind and decided to accompany her to the concert?
He came to see Lin Gantang, putting aside the work he had agreed to do?
Mrs. Gu’s face darkened: “You still like Lin Gantang? Is this why you refuse to go on blind dates?”
Gu Zhichuan looked at his mother: “I don’t go on blind dates because I don’t have plans to marry.”
“Not marry?!” Mrs. Gu nearly screamed, but remembering she couldn’t raise her voice here, she lowered her volume: “What nonsense are you talking about, our family only has one son, and you won’t marry?”
Gu Zhichuan had anticipated Mrs. Gu’s reaction, knowing her temperament all too well, he had no desire to explain.
His indifference lit a new fire in Mrs. Gu’s heart, and she almost asked through clenched teeth: “Because of Lin Gantang? Do you plan to wait for her? Wait for what, wait until she gets divorced?”
Without him saying, Mrs. Gu had guessed it, feeling like the sky was falling: “Lin Gantang is already married! Her wedding is next month! You won’t marry? What good is it if you don’t marry!”
“It has nothing to do with her.”
“If it’s unrelated, would you be sitting here now?” Mrs. Gu became more agitated as she spoke: “She doesn’t like you, and as a daughter-in-law who’s caused estrangement between mother and son like her, I wouldn’t want her either!”
Gu Zhichuan replied with a cold laugh: “You don’t want her, but even if you asked her now, she wouldn’t come.”
Mrs. Gu felt her son had lost his reason; Lin Gantang was toxic, why did her son still pine for her despite there being no relation left!
What could she do? Now Lin Gantang wasn’t clinging to her son anymore. She simply turned her back and married someone else, leaving her son pining alone.
Mrs. Gu was going insane: “Someone like Lin Gantang who turned around and went with someone else is not the faithful type. Even if you two hadn’t broken up, how many years could she have stood by you?”
She had completely lost interest in the concert and stood up with a long face: “I want to go back, you take me.”
She couldn’t let him stay at the same place with Lin Gantang, in case they had an opportunity to speak.
Mrs. Gu had forgotten to control her volume by then, and her sharp voice rose, attracting the attention of many people.
Gu Zhichuan’s expression turned cold.
He saw Lin Gantang turning her head and subconsciously frowning upon discovering him and Mrs. Gu.
He didn’t want to see the look of disgust on Lin Gantang’s face again and got up to leave the hall.
However, he didn’t fulfill Mrs. Gu’s wishes to escort her back himself; instead, he called the driver to pick her up and stood outside alone, lighting a cigarette and bringing it to his lips.
The faint wisps of smoke twirled.
Mrs. Gu, with a stern face, was about to speak again but, meeting Gu Zhichuan’s extremely cold eyes, a sudden chill settled in her heart.
In her son’s eyes, she couldn’t find a trace of warmth towards his mother.
Mrs. Gu’s heart suddenly raced with fear.
