Chapter 141: Conversation with Mr. Gu

Mr. Gu walked over from the corridor. Initially, Gu Chu pretended not to see him, but he called out, “Gu Chu.”

Gu Chu stopped. When she saw that he was getting closer, she called out softly, “Dad.”

“I went to the Commerce Department a few times this morning, but I didn’t see you. I thought you weren’t coming to work today.” Mr. Gu looked at her, “Are you still angry with your mother? I apologize on behalf of your mother. She shouldn’t have hit you.”

He’s apologizing again.

Gu Chu became a little gloomy. “You apologize for Gu Wan before this, and now for mom. Aren’t you tired of it? I do.”

There were a lot of people walking in the corridor. Gu Chu walked to an empty corner. “If you want me to forgive them, then say no more. After all, you know that I am not the kind to be bullied.”

Mr. Gu sighed. “But we’re still a family. We have to tolerate each other.”

“But I feel that ever since Gu Wan came back, I don’t feel like I’m part of the family anymore.” The corners of Gu Chu’s mouth twitched, “In the past, you’d send me to the hospital even if it’s just a fever. Mom would accompany me and cook porridge for me. But now, I’ve been in a car accident, and you guys didn’t even call.”

Mr. Gu paused. They had been too busy arguing for the past two days. He said awkwardly, “Isn’t Feng Jia by your side? With him taking care of you, we are not worried.”

“You guys are really strange. On one hand, you want to take Feng Jia away from me and give him to Gu Wan. On the other hand, you think Feng Jia will take good care of me?”

There were too many instances when they behaved contradictorily.

“Dad, I really don’t understand. How did you guys become so stupid? Or is it that your love can only be given to one person?”

Gu Chu knew many who were not a single child. For example, Lin Yin’s family. She had Lin Yu as her elder brother. Even if her parents weren’t fair, they wouldn’t be that unreasonable.

Gu Chu looked at Mr. Gu, and things became clearer. “Or is it that you’ve always loved Gu Wan, and only transferred all your love to me when she wasn’t around?”

This thought flashed across her mind, and she gritted her teeth. “Since you only like Gu Wan, then why did you give birth to me in the first place? Or do you want a son for your second child?”

“Gu Wan and I are four years apart. Four years is enough time for you to consider whether you want a second child or not. Even if you accidentally had me, you could still check the sex of the fetus. So if you didn’t want me, it wasn’t hard to abort me in the early stages of pregnancy, right?”

…

This made her feel puzzled. If they only liked Gu Wan, why did they want a second child? If they wanted a son, why didn’t they abort her in the first place?

Although they weren’t allowed to check the sex of the fetus, with his status, it should be quite easy to do it.

Mr. Gu didn’t seem to know how to answer her question, so he scolded her, “You’re getting more and more ridiculous.”

“You don’t believe that the eight-year-old Gu Wan would viciously throw me away, but you can push the blame of Gu Wan going missing onto the four-year-old me. That’s also quite ridiculous.” Gu Chu went around him and went straight into the office.

Mr. Gu waited until she was about to walk in before saying, “Chu Chu, in the future, when you and Feng Jia get married, we will also give away 10% of the shares as your dowry. We will treat you and Gu Wan equally.”

Gu Chu stopped in her tracks and did not turn back. She pushed the door open and entered the Department of Commerce.

The secretary came forward with a document. “Director.”

Gu Chu took the document and looked at it. She instructed, “Book a flight ticket for me. We will go to the capital today. After you booked it, send me the flight information. Then, go home and pack your luggage. We will meet at the airport an hour before take off.”

The secretary was stunned. “Are we leaving now? Do we need to inform someone from the Lin Corporation?”

“There’s no need. They have arranged their own. We’ll go separately.” Gu Chu took a pen and signed her name on a contract.

The schedule was quickly settled. Gu Chu returned to Jinyuan Residences to pack her things.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the two met at the airport. After passing through the security checkpoint, they waited for their flight at the exclusive VIP lounge.
