Young Master Feng, Your Lady Has Stunned the World! -Novel - Chapter 179

Chapter 179: The Taboo Nickname

Pei Xin had just gotten off work and came over to see Gu Chu. When he saw that she was awake, he called out, “Gu Yi, you’re awake.”

Before Gu Chu could say anything, Mr. Gu suddenly raised his head. “Don’t call her by that name!”

From his tone, it seemed that Mr. Gu was really angry.

Pei Xin was stunned.

Gu Chu was also stunned.

Feng Jia frowned.

Mr. Gu said stiffly, “This is not a good nickname. Don’t call her by that name anymore.”

Pei Xin was at a loss. “Okay.”

Mr. Gu’s expression was a little unnatural. He glanced at Gu Chu who was lying on the bed, then turned his head away. He did not even enter the ward. “Pei Xin, come with me. I want to talk to you about Gu Chu’s situation.”

Pei Xin nodded and followed him.

Gu Chu was at a loss. She was afraid that she would never understand why her parents’ attitude towards her had changed so drastically.

“What’s wrong with your dad?” Lin Yin was confused. “Your nickname sounds fine, at least it sounds better than mine.”

Gu Chu said nonchalantly “How is it fine? It has the same sound as ‘accidental’.”

Lin Yin looked down at her phone. “My brother is here. He doesn’t know that you’ve changed rooms. I’ll go pick him up.”

Gu Chu nodded.

Feng Jia sat beside her bed. “You don’t like people calling you by your nickname because your parents don’t like it?”

“Yeah, sort of.”

“Then when did they start not liking your nickname?”

Gu Chu thought about it carefully. “When I was seven or eight years old.”

“Do you have such a good memory?” Feng Jia didn’t show any expression. “You remember everything since you’re 4?”

“Of course.” She said proudly. “When I was studying, I didn’t forget anything that was in the textbooks.”

Feng Jia smiled. “I know that.”

Gu Chu looked at him. “How do you know?”

Feng Jia changed the topic. “Do you remember anything before you were 4?”

“Research shows that most people have no memories before 3 years old. Are you giving me a hard time?”

Feng Jia pursed his lips.

He didn’t ask this for fun, but because Mr. Gu’s outburst seemed a little different. It seemed like he was first triggered by Lin Yin’s words which claimed that Gu Chu didn’t seem like his daughter.

Feng Jia even suspected that there was a causal relationship between the two remarks.

Later, Mr. Gu and the Lin siblings left the hospital and went back to the hotel to rest. Gu Chu also went to bed. Feng Jia walked to the corridor and he called Susan. “Find out about the Gu Corporation’s hundred-million-yuan contract 25 years ago. What exactly happened?”

Susan, “Okay, CEO Feng.”

Feng Jia put down his phone. 100 million was a lot 25 years ago. Even now, it was not a small sum of money.

Could there be another reason why he was so afraid?

Susan acted quickly. She sent a text the next day at noon. “CEO Feng, I found out that 25 years ago, the Gu Corporation did not have any contract worth 100 million.”

No?

“I checked again. 22 years ago, the Gu Corporation received a capital injection worth 100 million yuan.”

Feng Jia’s eyelids twitched. Capital injection?

Susan continued, “More than 20 years ago, the Gu Corporation wanted to expand overseas. However, due to a strategic mistake, the money was tied up. The domestic acquisition failed, resulting in heavy losses. At that time, they were on the verge of bankruptcy.”

“The injection of 100 million yuan brought the Gu family back to life. The strange thing was, according to the stock price of the Gu Corporation at that time, 100 million yuan was at least 30% of the shares. However, he only held 10% of the shares. Moreover, four years later, the shares were transferred to Chairman Gu’s name.”

In other words, a Buddha injected capital into the Gu family and gave 100 million yuan to the Gu family. After saving the Gu family, he even returned the shares.

Twenty-two years ago, Gu Chu was three years old.

Four years later, the shares were transferred. Gu Chu was seven years old.

After that, the Gu family no longer called her by her nickname.

Feng Jia put down the teacup. It seemed that there was more to it.

After the surgery, Gu Chu rested for a week. Finally, she could eat some liquid food.

Her father would come to the hospital to accompany her for two to three hours every day. They got along as usual, but the strained relationship could not be mended just like that.

Therefore, it was inevitable that he behaved awkwardly.

Gu Chu asked him to go back since Feng Jia, Lin Yin, and the others were here, but as her father, it didn’t seem appropriate for him to leave.

Gu Chu let him be.

Now that her wound had healed, Gu Chu said again, “Dad, you don’t have to stay here and watch over me. I’m fine now. The company is more important. You should go back.”
