Gu Chu wanted to recall the appearance of that woman, but she couldn’t remember no matter how hard she tried.
She knocked her head and the woman who was doing the treatment said, “Miss Gu, you look a little tired recently. You need to rest well.”
Gu Chu nodded. “Yes.”
Her skin that had just been treated felt like a peeled egg. She put on make-up that the elders liked and chose a warm-tone lipstick to make herself look like a good granddaughter-in-law of the Feng family.
Even if she did not want to marry Feng Jia for the time being, she could not let Gu Wan have a name in the Feng family.
After she had prepared everything, she took a taxi to the Feng family’s old mansion.
The old mansion was in the suburbs, which was a little far. It happened to be after work hours and there was a traffic jam on the way, so she spent some time stuck in the car.
She opened Wechat, and Lin Yin had sent her a few messages. The content was an analysis.
“By the way, what terms did your mother and Feng Jia discuss?”
“Your mother is paving the way for Gu Wan in order to make up to her. But since Feng Jia could see that your status in the Gu family has plummeted, it means that your mother’s terms are definitely not simple.”
“So, you must keep Feng Jia in your hands!”
“Also, do you actually want to marry my brother? We’ve been sisters for so many years. If we become sister-in-laws, I will feel a little... awkward.”
The fourth message was an hour after the first three messages. She probably could not wait for her reply, so her thoughts ran a little wild.
Gu Chu immediately replied, “I just had a beauty treatment and slept for a while.”
Actually, there wasn’t any substantive reply to her words.
The truth was that she didn’t know how to reply either.
It was already dark outside, and the neon lights were flashing past her eyes.
She didn’t know what she was thinking. At this moment, Raindrops fell on the car window, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window grew louder and louder.
Haicheng CIty was rainy, and she was always caught off guard.
Only then did she realize that she did not seem to have an umbrella with her.
She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and sent a message to Feng Pei.
“Tell the maid to bring out the umbrella to pick me up. Otherwise, I’ll tell Grandpa Feng that you bullied me!”
She even added a smiling emoji.
A few minutes later, Feng Pei also replied with a smiling emoji.
After waiting in the car for ten minutes, Gu Chu’s patience was almost worn out, and the driver could not wait any longer.
She was about to call Feng Pei to pick her up personally, but when she looked up, she saw a tall figure with an umbrella walking over slowly.
The streetlights were dim, and he was holding an umbrella in one hand. His footsteps were steady, neither fast nor slow.
When he got closer, she opened the door and got out of the car. At first, she thought that it was a servant who would escort her. She did not expect it to be him. “Did Feng Pei purposely let you pick me up so late?”
The umbrella was big, more than enough to shield the two of them. His jawline was smooth and exquisite, his thin lips were sexy, his nose bridge was high, and his eyes were deep and beautiful.
With his looks, he was definitely one of the most handsome men she knew.
After all, when she first hooked up with him, wasn’t it because of his good looks?
So, with just a glance, she choked on her next complaint.
He took a step forward and put his arm around her waist. His face was handsome and bright, and he said softly, “Let’s go.”
He tilted his head, and the hot air that he exhaled blew into Gu Chu’s ears. She turned her head slightly. “You were also called here by Grandpa Feng?”
“Yes,” He answered faintly and walked forward with his arm around her waist.
They walked together on the cobblestone road. The street lamps shone on their figures. The atmosphere was quiet, and only the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella could be heard.
Gu Chu could not keep up with his pace. She complained, “Can you slow down a little?”
He suddenly stopped, and she almost bumped into his back.
Then, he slightly tilted his body and handed the umbrella in his hand.
Gu Chu took the umbrella in confusion.
Then, her feet left the ground. He picked up the princess in one go. After holding her properly, he sneered, “So spoiled.”
In other words, she was trying to be seductive.
“Hmph.” Gu Chu curled his lips in disdain.
His steps were steady, and she was a little bored. She reached out to play with his collar, and her fingertips would occasionally poke his collarbone and chest. Every time she poked, there would be a string of tiny electric currents.
Feng Jia lowered her eyes and looked at her warningly. He muttered, “Stop fooling around.”
Gu Chu curled her lips. “Didn’t you just go back to the old mansion for dinner last night? Why are you here again today?”
Then, without waiting for him to answer, she said, “Oh, it’s because my family is here. Grandpa Feng asked you to entertain us, and you agreed. I thought you would reject it because you’re busy with work.”
Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, “Oh, I almost forgot. Tomorrow is the weekend. Even if you have a lot of work to do, it’s not a big deal to relax for one night.”
