Chapter 2177
After a moment, she turned her face back again and said indifferently, “I know, I’ll bring the baby back with me, please.”
After saying that, she reached out to unbutton the buttons on Gao Jian’s wedding dress, but because the workmanship was so new, it was rather laborious to undo, and she had to use two hands instead.
This made for a lot of movement.
Gao Jian, who had just been lost in thought, suddenly reacted by violently pushing her aunt away and lifting her legs to sit up on the bed, clutching the collar in a death grip while backing away in panic, “Don’t come over, don’t come over!”
She was hysterical as if she had gone mad, “I’m marrying Gu Han! I’m going to marry him! No one is going to stop us! Don’t even think about it!”
Seeing this scene, Gao Jian’s mother stood up in a daze, and after a moment of reaction, her whole body broke down in defence.
“You’re still thinking about that man! You’ve really gone off the rails! Listen to me clearly, Gu Han is dead, he’s dead he won’t be coming back!”
“How could I have such a worthless daughter like you! What the hell do you want mommy to do to get back on her feet, do you want her to rip out her whole heart and give it to you! ……”
She cried, because she was heartbroken, because she was helpless, heartbroken that Gao Jian had gotten herself into this situation for a man, helpless that she couldn’t change anything, couldn’t bring her daughter back to her original innocence.
Maybe it’s because I’m a mother that I feel the same way at this moment.
I went over to her, helped her, handed her a tissue and tried to calm her down, “Auntie, calm down, Jijian couldn’t bear the shock and that’s why she became like this, she’ll get better after a period of recuperation, the dust has settled, no matter what, she’s still your daughter, only you can help her.”
Gathering Jane’s mother kept shaking her head and when I finished, she finally couldn’t help herself and opened her mouth to retort, “She’s putting a knife in my heart!”
“I brought her into this world, I’ve raised her as a princess for so many years and haven’t spared a single serious word, but she, for Gu Han, hasn’t sent me a single phone call or text message in all these years! I know she’s arrogant, just because she said ‘Gu Han has left’, she left everything and came to pick her up in person, yet she still wants to fool around like this, making me feel sad and upset.
These words may have been pent up in her heart for too many years, Gao Jian’s mother was in tears, almost out of breath, yet she still pointed at Gao Jian and cried unrelentingly.
“Your father and I have never read a word of bad about you in front of outsiders, your name was written as the heir to the will, and Gu Han, when he was alive, ignored you and flung you around like a dog’s skin.
Feeling the anger in her heart, I could not help but feel my eyes redden, and I could only purse my lips to prevent myself from crying out.
Mother and daughter are not illusions after all, and Gathering Jane cried, tears baring down, wetting her wedding dress and what was left of her bedclothes.
Even so, her spirits were still not good, her head trembling slightly, her collar still tightly buttoned, guarding against outsiders tearing and breaking the “wedding” in her mental world.
Gaijin’s mother, completely shattered, burst into tears until she had no more strength left, then finally stopped.
The elders knew better than to force fate, and since they were here, they had to give their daughter a chance.
The ambulance that finally took Jijian and Gu Yiyang away was from a private hospital. Jijian’s mother was going to take her daughter abroad to recuperate and the whole family would emigrate, not to return to the country and say goodbye to the past once and for all.
Gu Han’s house was completely empty, seized by the court a few days later and later inherited by distant relatives, including its stock funds, which were all sold together.
There was no longer a Gu family in the capital.
Chapter 2178
After Cheng Junyu moved out, the Four Seasons talked even less than before, and hardly spoke at all except at the dinner table.
After Gu Han’s funeral, I had been sulking in my heart, and Fu Shenyan was afraid that I would get sick at home, so he urged me to go to the clubhouse every day to supervise the work of the Four Seasons.
Of course, it was only a nominal supervision.
At first, I just sat there, not wanting to be too assertive. The clubhouse was still under the control of the Four Seasons, and she was already young, so telling her what to do would make her lose prestige in front of the staff.
This created a stark contrast, with Four Seasons surrounded by people and me sitting alone, lost in thought for longer than I would have been at home.
Four Seasons is still considerate at heart, and after dealing with the matter at hand, when someone is approached again, she doesn’t move and pulls the person to me.
Pretending to be in a difficult position, after thinking for a while, he directly asked me for help, “Mummy, Daddy said you used to be a director in the company, this, can you give me some advice?”
I naturally begged for it, and after responding, I took the document and looked at it carefully, giving a more objective opinion based on my former professional memory.
After that, the Four Seasons would consult with me before making every decision, and apart from sleeping, we were almost inseparable, and as Fu Shenyan said, our relationship warmed up considerably, and in our spare time, we were able to steal time from our busy schedule and go shopping together in the mall.
About a week later, a complaint call was received from Mo Fei Lin.
“I say, what’s wrong with you two? If you don’t want me to fund the club, just say so, there’s no need to hide and act like a secret agent.”
“Who’s hiding from you?” Putting the phone to my ear, I glanced at the Four Seasons next to me, pressed the receiver and asked, “Your Auntie Philine is looking for you and you’re not seeing her?”
“Nope.” Four Seasons shook her head with an innocent look on her face, “Auntie Philine hasn’t even been to the clubhouse lately and I was trying to find her.”
Hearing her say that, I got my breath back and let go of the receiver and retorted, “I think it’s you and Zuo Xicheng who are getting tired of each other, what, having a fight?”
“No, why are you talking about him?” Mo Fei Lin was a little irritated, “Then why do I always run out of time when I come home to look for you?”
“I was helping the Four Seasons at the clubhouse, wasn’t there someone at home, you didn’t ask?”
“No.”
“……”
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and it was rare to see Mofilin in a state of stammering, and I probably understood why.
Four Seasons’ clubhouse was a fat piece of meat, and both Mo Fei Lin and Huo Tian Lin had previously expressed their desire to have a piece of it, but it was shelved because of Fu Shen Yan’s obstruction.
The company’s cultural city was a huge success and the clubhouse project was restarted, but it did not take the initiative to contact either Mo Fei-lin or Huo Tianlin. She was afraid that if she took the initiative to approach the Four Seasons, she would appear too pestering, so she did not dare to go directly to the clubhouse, and she was worried that our couple would defend our daughter, so she did not want to say no outright and would avoid seeing her.
When I thought of this, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud as I held the phone.
“What are you laughing at?” Maureen asked.
“I’m laughing at you.” At least she was a powerful woman who had been on the cover of a financial magazine, when did she become so timid, “I’m laughing at your mother-in-law, we’re all family, what can’t we just say, we have to guess?”
“……” There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while before Mo Fei Lin’s voice came back to clear her throat awkwardly, “Ahem, I can’t understand what you’re saying, where’s the address come on up! My stocks have gone up a few more, and today is my treat!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
