The Gu family's front door slowly opened. She walked past the front yard and went straight into the main house.
Hearing the voices in the living room, Gu Chu stopped in her tracks.
It was Gu Wan's voice. "I just went to deliver cufflinks to Mr. Feng. He was just having lunch. I came back right after."
Mrs. Gu stroked her hair and said tenderly, "Eating so late? Sigh, they always forget to eat when they get busy. Your dad is the same. How can his stomach bear it if this goes on?"
Gu Wan smiled. "But dad has you to remind him. CEO Feng doesn't have anyone to remind him at all."
Gu Chu's lips curled into a mocking smile. She slowly walked into the hall and said calmly, "Feng Jia is waiting for me to have lunch, that's why it's so late."
The moment she said that, the two people in the living room immediately turned their heads to look at her.
Gu Chu changed her shoes and said as she walked in, "Mom, don't worry. He eats three meals a day. He's very disciplined and knows how to maintain his health better than the elderly."
Mrs. Gu behaved a little strangely. "Chuchu is back."
"Yeah, I was having dinner with Feng Jia just now. I bumped into Gu Wan too, but she left quickly. I wanted to take a ride back with her."
Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Wan. Why didn't she mention that she saw Gu Chu just now?
Gu Chu walked past them and went straight to the second floor. As she walked, she said, "Mom, I'm going to rest on the second floor first."
She was really tired.
Even though her body had been empty for more than half a month, Feng Jia shouldn't have made up for it this way. It was too much!
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get someone to call you down for dinner."
As soon as she entered her room, Gu Chu was so tired that she collapsed on her bed.
Not only was she physically tired, but also mentally tired.
This was because during the half a month that she had been away from home, her mother had not called her once.
Before Gu Wan came back, her mother would call her whenever she was not home, regardless of whether she lived in her apartment or in Feng Jia's place.
Ever since Gu Wan came back, her mother seemed to have forgotten that she had another daughter. All her attention was on Gu Wan.
She was really tired. She took off her clothes and put them in the laundry basket. After changing into her pajamas, she was ready to go to bed.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. "Chuchu, it's my sister."
Gu Chu raised his voice and said, "Please come in."
Gu Wan pushed the door open and came in. "Chuchu, I was just thinking about it. I went to return CEO Feng's cufflinks today. Did you misunderstand and were angry?"
Gu Chu smiled wryly. "Why would I?"
"It's good that you're not angry. Actually, CEO Feng and I know this very well, so we didn't make things clear. I didn't expect you to be here, so on the way back, I was wondering if you had misunderstood me."
Gu Chu looked at her. She really didn't expect her to come over to explain. She turned around and said, "There's no misunderstanding. He's your future brother-in-law. How could I misunderstand the two of you?"
Gu Wan revealed a gentle smile. "It's good that you haven't misunderstood. I just came back not long ago. Before you get married, we still have some time to get along. I hope we can be happy together."
Gu Chu replied with an indifferent "Mm".
"Then you can continue to rest. I'm going back to my room. Remember to go downstairs for dinner."
Gu Chu lay down. She felt that what Gu Wan said just now was either because she really had a clear conscience, or because she was afraid that she would be on guard against her, so she eagerly came over to explain.
No matter which it was, she was not who she was when Gu Wan just came back.
She woke up when the housekeeper called her dinner and got out of bed in a daze. At this moment, her phone beeped. It was a Wechat notification.
This message was sent to her by Feng Jia. "I'm going on a business trip this weekend and won't be able to go to your mother's birthday party. Please wish her happy birthday for me and apologize on my behalf. I'll get my assistant to deliver the gift."
Gu Chu typed "Okay."
Feng Jia couldn't help but frown when he saw her reply. She seemed very distant. He thought about how she had walked out of the office angrily and rubbed his eyebrows. This little devil always caused trouble.
That night, Mr. Gu came home for dinner. When he saw Gu Chu, he asked in a warmly, "Chu Chu, why didn't you go to the office today?"
Gu Chu pouted. "You're the chairman. Why are you still in charge of the employees' attendance?"
Mr. Gu smiled. "I was looking for you, but I couldn't find you."
"Oh," Gu Chu asked, "What is it?"
At the Gu family's dining table, Gu Chu and Mr. Gu started to talk about work. Mrs. Gu and Gu Wan listened quietly at the side and did not interrupt.
