“That’s right, Ruo Chu. You don’t have to pay too much attention to the grudge between master Gu and the Ning family. Gu Zexi really likes you as a younger sister. He treats you as his own flesh and blood. ”
Chu Xinlan thought that if Ruo Chu were to leave now, both brother and sister would have some regrets. Perhaps they would even have a little knot in their hearts.
“Alright. ”
The husband and wife sat down again and waited for master Gu and Gu Zexi to finish their conversation in the study room.
There was a moment of silence outside before Gu Zexi and master Gu finally came out.
“Big Brother. ”
The old man did not expect Gu Ruochu to address her as big brother so smoothly. The moment his old eyes met hers, there was a sense of complexity in them.
Although they were only cousins, Zhang Xuan’s eyes sometimes really resembled his dead daughter’s. He did not expect Zhang Xuan’s daughter to have the same pair of eyes.
She even had the surname Gu. What a coincidence.
The old man laughed self-deprecatingly as a hint of desolation remained in his eyes.
However, these people reminded him day and night of how his daughter had died, how she had been humiliated before she died, and how she had died with hatred in her heart.
He could not let go of the past. Every time he thought about it, it would be a heart-wrenching pain.
He only had one daughter. His wife had passed away too soon after her daughter’s death.
If his daughter had not had the best relationship with Zhang Xuan when she was alive, he would not have cared whether it was an accident or not. He just wanted to let Zhang Xuan have a taste of what was called a heart-wrenching pain.
“since you have a guest, Brat, I’ll be leaving first. ” The old man’s voice was a little stiff. He glanced at the silent Chu Xinlan and walked away.
“I’ll send you off, grandfather. ”
Gu Zexi nodded at Ruocu and the others before he turned around to send the old man off.
The moment he turned around, Gu Ruochu saw a few bruises on his hand. It was likely that the old man had not noticed the strength in his hand when he had used his walking stick to hit someone.
She and Chu Xinlan looked at each other before they returned to the living room.
“We’re having lunch here today. I’ve already asked the chef to prepare it. ” Gu Zexi entered the room and spoke as if nothing had happened.
“brother, is the old man alright? ”
“He’s fine. He’s just having an old problem. There’s no need to pay attention to him. ” Gu Zexi casually replied as he stood not far from Chu Xinlan.
He was standing so close to her, which actually made her feel a little nervous.
“brother, I don’t want you and the old master to get into a conflict because of me. ”
Gu Ruochu could not explain why her mood had become so depressed. She deeply hoped that Gu Zexi would be happy. He was really too tired and unhappy to live.
“I know. ”
The siblings had an UNCANNY rapport. It was as if they did not need to say anything to know what each other was thinking.
“…”
After sending off Ruo Chu and her husband that night, Chu Xinlan returned to the villa with a heart full of worries.
She had just reached the door when she suddenly heard a woman’s laughter coming from inside. The strange laughter seemed to suppress her nerves. It was painful and sad.
When she had just sent off Ruo Chu, she seemed to have seen a luxury car coming in from the door. There was even a vague outline of a woman on the passenger seat.
She was only stunned at that time. She did not expect that it was really a woman who was looking for Gu Zexi.
She did not dare to enter the door. She bit her lip and was in a dilemma for a moment.
“Miss Chu, why are you standing here? ” The maid Xiao Hua’s piercing voice suddenly rang out. The woman who was deep in thought was so shocked that she turned around and wanted to leave.
“STOP RIGHT THERE! ”
A cold voice rang out at the door. Chu Xinlan turned around and saw a tall woman standing not far from him, staring at her curiously with a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.
