Mr. Gu was the first to speak. He then replied to Old Master Feng, “Haha, this name is not bad. Since I’m here, I must try it.”

Old Master Feng smiled, “If you like it, drink more. I’ll get someone to pack some for you to take away later.”

Mr. Gu, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’m quite fond of this taste.”

The atmosphere in the living room returned to normal again. Feng Pei couldn’t interrupt them even if she wanted to. They were very happy together, but unfortunately, the happiness couldn’t reach Gu Chu anymore.

Mrs. Gu said that to test him, right? A test of Old Master Feng’s attitude towards changing the engagement.

Her spine started to feel cold. If she could still lie to herself before that her mother didn’t mean it, then what about now?

Didn’t she know that changing the engagement would make her the joke of the entire Haicheng City?

She had always thought that her mother at least cared about her, but now, she wasn’t sure anymore.

Gu Chu slowly moved backward.

No wonder she had agreed to let her go out with Feng Jia. It turned out that she wanted to drive her away so that she could test Old Master Feng.

If these words hadn’t come from her mouth, she could have defended herself a hundred times.

But now, she was like a loser, not even daring to show her face.

She could not even ask, “Am I not your daughter? Why do you only care about Gu Wan and not me at all?”

At this moment, Feng Jia’s voice rang in her ears, “Why are you standing here?”

She quickly turned around and covered his mouth, not wanting him to hear what was said in the living room. However, just as she was about to touch him, he grabbed her.

Her eyes met his, and her heart began to tremble.

Old Master Feng’s ears were sharp. When he heard what Feng Jia said at the door, he asked in a loud voice, “Are Chuchu and Feng Jia back?”

“Yes.” Feng Jia grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her in.

As soon as Gu Chu entered, he saw Mrs. Gu drinking tea with her head lowered. Her expression could not be seen clearly, and Mr. Gu’s eyes met hers. In the next second, he looked away.

Feng Pei, who was the only one who didn’t mind the drama, said excitedly, “Just now, I heard that Aunt Gu said that when you were young, mom had you engaged to Gu Wan, not Gu Chu!”

Feng Jia laughed when he heard that. He lowered his head and looked at Gu Chu. “So that’s why you’ve been quarreling with me.”

Gu Chu raised her head and looked at him in confusion.

His voice was low and deep, but it was enough for everyone in the living room to hear.

Old Master Feng asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Feng Jia said gently, “It’s what Aunt Gu said just now. She misunderstood and kept throwing a tantrum at me.”

Gu Chu blinked her eyes in confusion.

“At that time, mom was already out of her mind. She couldn’t even recognize the girl. Whenever she saw a girl, she would say that she would be my wife in the future. Do I have to marry every one of them?”

Gu Chu opened her mouth in confusion.

“Besides, even if mom wanted to find a daughter-in-law, she did it for Feng Yuan. It has nothing to do with me.” He paused for a moment and then said in a friendly tone, “Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can you reconcile with me?”

Reconcile? Or Not?

So, was he trying to protect her with this call?

He must be!

She nodded subconsciously.

“It’s getting late. It’s inconvenient to take a taxi. Let me send you back, okay?”

He asked if it’s ok?

Then… of course it’s okay.

Gu Chu nodded again.

“Good. Feng Jia, send Chuchu back.” Old Master Feng nodded with satisfaction and even personally sent them to the door.

They had attracted everyone’s attention, but they did not notice that Gu Wan, who was behind them, had somehow broken a glass of water.

Immediately, a servant came forward to clean it up. “Miss Gu, be careful. I’ll do it.”

Gu Wan said in a low voice, “Thank you. I want to go to the bathroom.”

The servant pointed in the direction. “Over there.”

After Gu Wan finished using the bathroom, she washed her hands at the sink outside. At that moment, Feng Pei walked over, she turned on the tap and washed her hands too. “Don’t take what your mom said seriously. Although I don’t like Gu Chu, I don’t like you either.”

“Why?”

“Heh. Firstly, you’re not as pretty as Gu Chu. Secondly, you don’t have her temperament either. You’re so submissive and small-minded. If you stand by my brother’s side, people who don’t know would think you’re a servant. Don’t embarrass my family.”

After that, she turned off the tap, wiped her hands, and left without looking back.

Gu Wan was the only one left standing on the spot with a gloomy expression.
