Chapter 767: Chapter 767 That Woman, Is My Wife (3)
Gu Annan had already guessed this much, but he needed to hear some definitive answers from Wang Mama herself.
Wang Mama, trembling with fear, “Young Master, it is as you say. The more the Old Madam thought about it, the angrier she became, and when her illness flared up, she was admitted to the hospital. She wants to go to Manchester to find you, demanding an explanation as to why you haven’t brought the Gu Family’s child back yet and why you’ve kept this matter hidden despite knowing everything.”
“Wang Mama, do I even need to mention the reason?” He scoffed coldly, “If I had told Grandmother right away, what do you think her demands would have been?”
Wang Mama didn’t speak.
Yet, in her heart, she wondered, what was wrong with such a request?
It seemed that the Young Master’s attitude towards that woman was not only free from anger but also, as the recent reports had suggested, he was planning a reconciliation.
At the time, due to his involvement, those who saw the news did not dare tell the Old Madam, or she would have fallen ill from anger much sooner.
Especially after hearing that Miss Shuman had left Manchester heartbroken, they all felt indignant on her behalf.
“Do you also believe that I shouldn’t have done this, Wang Mama?” Gu Annan raised an eyebrow, his hand gripping the envelope tightly.
Wang Mama frowned, sighing, “Young Master, I really don’t have much say in this matter. You should think about how to explain it to the Old Madam. Given her current health, she really shouldn’t be subjected to any shocks. Young Master, I just beg you, no matter what, don’t let your relationship with the Old Madam become too strained during her illness.”
After a while, Xue Ru stepped out of the sickroom.
Her smile was somewhat forced, “Annan, the Old Madam has awakened and is asking for you.”
When Gu Annan entered, Xue Ru’s smile disappeared from her face.
“Wang Mama, what does the Young Master mean, what did he tell you just now?” Xue Ru immediately went to ask.
Seeing her, Wang Mama lost her previously subservient demeanor and spoke indifferently, “The Young Master’s intentions are clear; he still wants that woman. Your niece, how is it that she doesn’t have even that bit of skill? After spending so much time in Manchester, and with Miss Yunsi’s support, she still couldn’t compare to a woman who committed such an outrage.”
Xue Ru sighed, “I know I have let down the Old Madam’s expectations, but what can I do if Shuman has every skill except the ability to charm men? Now, feeling upset, she could only leave that place, or who knows what kind of bullying she might have faced.”
As Xue Ru spoke, she looked towards the direction of the sickroom, “I hope the Old Madam can persuade him herself, to get him back on the right path.”
“I fear that this time persuasion from anyone will be useless.”
Inside the sickroom, Gu Annan stood beside the bed.
“You still have the face to see me.” Gu Matriarch pointed at him, furious, “Where is my great-grandson, my great-granddaughter?”
A faint smile appeared on Gu Annan’s face, “Grandmother, you’re so fierce, you’ll scare them. If that happens, you might have no grandchildren at all.”
“You!” Even though the Gu Matriarch could tell it was a joke, her heart was still irritated, and she had no intention of easing up, “I’m asking you, where are they? Do you think I want to see you? Bring them here at once.”
That detestable woman, what does the Gu Family owe her?
She caused such a big mess and just left, yet she has been on her grandson’s mind for so many years, unable to forget her.
She even dared to abduct her grandson’s son and daughter – it was a discovery, but had it gone unnoticed, what then!
If she had stayed in the United States forever and never returned, perhaps she would have remained unaware of having children, and her grandson might not have been willing to remarry.
