Chapter 195 - The Gift to Mrs. Gu

Chapter 195: The Gift to Mrs. Gu

Pei Xin was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he said, “I’m here to give you a check-up.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. After all, your surgery was not simple. It took me a lot of effort to cut open the fat layer on your abdomen.”

Gu Chu: “...”

So she was fat?! 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Gu Chu was annoyed. She gestured at her waist. “Do you have eyes? Do you know beauty?”

Can’t he say something nice on her important day?

He was so annoying.

Gu Chu turned around and left.

Lu Shen elbowed Pei Xin. “Why do you always make her angry?”

Pei Xin shrugged. “I’m used to it. I just like to bully her.”

Gu Wan looked at Gu Chu coldly. No one knew what she was thinking.

Gu Chu glanced at her and ignored her. She walked towards Mr. Gu. He said to her, “Chu Chu, I’ll bring you to meet the elders.”

Even though her parents’ relationship had deteriorated, they still had to pretend to be deeply in love on such an occasion.

They brought her to an old man with white hair.

Mr. Gu introduced him, “Gu Chu, this is Grandpa Si.”

Gu Chu did not know this old man, but since her father said so, she greeted him, “Grandpa Si.”

The old man was already past his 70s. His eyes were cloudy and he could not see clearly. He smiled and said, “I realize how old I am when I see these young people.”

Mr. Gu said respectfully, “you’re not old. It’s just time to enjoy a good life.”

The old man said, “your daughter is not only capable, but also very filial.”

Mr. Gu agreed, but he wondered why he said so.

Gu Chu didn’t know either.

The old man said to Mrs. Gu, “she bought the painting by Taoist Wu from me.”

Gu Chu was stunned.

So the man who stole the painting and sold it to her was from his family.

Mrs. Gu did not receive the painting, so she was puzzled. “Taoist Wu?”

“That useless grandson of mine stole the painting and sold it,” the old man said. “He said that he sold it to the Gu family’s daughter and that she would give it to her mother. Isn’t that you?”

Mrs. Gu was also stunned.

Was it that day?

The day Gu Chu suddenly returned home.

She vaguely remembered that she was holding a painting in her hand.

So she had come home that day just to give the painting to her?

Mrs. Gu could not help but look at Gu Chu with mixed feelings.

After moving away from the old man, Gu Chu confessed, “I did buy the painting. I was going to give it to mom.”

She pulled back her hand that was holding Mr. Gu’s. “At that time, I thought that I’d do anything for her, including giving up all my money. But if I knew that no matter what I did, she would still hate me, I probably wouldn’t have spent the money.”

“Fortunately, the painting has been donated to the museum, so more people can appreciate it. I think it’s still worth it.” fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

She looked at Mrs. Gu and realized that the gentle and amiable mother in her memory had changed beyond recognition.

In the next second, she said expressionlessly, “At least it’s better than giving it to you.”

Mrs. Gu was shocked.

Gu Chu smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She nodded to her father and turned to leave.

Mrs. Gu’s lips moved. She actually had the urge to call out to Gu Chu, but in the end, she did not say anything.

She thought that she had no feelings for Gu Chu, but when she heard her last sentence, she actually felt bad.

“Look at you, is this what you want? What have you done to her?” Mr. Gu had nothing else to say to Mrs. Gu, so he left immediately.

Mrs. Gu was still in a trance, but Gu Wan suddenly appeared and asked her, “Mom, do you feel guilty towards Gu Chu?”

Mrs. Gu said subconsciously, “no.”

“That’s good. We’re just telling the truth,” Gu Wan continued, “I’ve already asked someone to send dad away. Tonight, Mr. Feng isn’t here either. It’s the best time for us to expose her.”

“Mom, we can’t back out now. We have to tell the truth today.”

Mrs. Gu stared at the wine glass without saying a word.

Lin Yin and her brother were standing together. Gu Chu walked over, picked up two glasses, and handed him one. “This is my first glass of wine tonight. Here’s to you.”

She blinked. They both knew that she was referring to his help getting rid of Director Wang.
