Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 1036 A Substitute
"Miss Gu, your name has always been Gu Wanqiu." Madam Gong suddenly asked.
Gu Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"yes."
Madam Gong felt that she still underestimated this person named "Gu Wanqiu". She had already said so clearly that she had no manners and openly mocked her as a substitute and not as good as the other Gu Wanqiu. Unexpectedly, her face was calm and there was no ripple at all. She even smiled at her after listening to what she said.
Is it that the fool doesn't understand what people say, or is it that she is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and she underestimated her?
In short, Madam Gong disliked Gu Wanqiu in front of her very much. She looked into Gu Wanqiu's eyes and felt familiar. She felt more and more that her son Gong Qing had found a substitute, and this substitute was a powerful character who had actually captured her son's heart.
Mrs. Gong felt a little uncomfortable and decided to add fuel to the fire.
She took the initiative to step forward and took Gu Wanqiu's hand, smiling, "It's really fate. Not only do we have the same name, but even our eyes look alike. Aqing, is this why you're with Miss Gu? If that's the case, as a mother, I don't want this to happen. You're being unfair to both of us."
Gong Qing sneered in his heart, looked at Gu Wanqiu, and asked softly: "Do you mind?"
Gu Wanqiu shook her head subconsciously. What did she mind? Wasn't she the one around her? But Madam Gong was too hostile to her. She gripped her hand so tightly that it hurt.
Gong Qing reached out and brushed Madam Gong's hand away: "Relationships are a matter between two people. Wanqiu doesn't mind, so why do you care so much? The one who will spend my life with me in the future is her, not you. Besides, it's normal to have the same name. I like the current Gu Wanqiu more."
When Mrs. Gong saw that her son was so disrespectful to her, her face immediately fell and the atmosphere suddenly froze and became stiff.
Gu Wanqiu initially thought that she would feel timid, hesitant and unable to face such an atmosphere in such an occasion.
But as long as she thought about the worst outcome, these things were nothing. She could totally bear it. Besides, she was not bearing it alone. Gong Qing was there to help her share the burden silently.
Fortunately, Gong's father came out to smooth things over: "Breakfast is ready. Let's go to the restaurant and have breakfast first."
"Okay." Gong Qing responded and took Gu Wanqiu to the restaurant. At the dinner table, Gong Qing and Gu Wanqiu sat at one table, while Father Gong and Madam Gong sat opposite them.
Being stared at by Madam Gong's sharp eyes, it was obviously impossible to have a good breakfast. The breakfast made by the chef tasted very good, but no matter how good it tasted, it was like chewing wax in Gu Wanqiu's mouth. She had no taste and her stomach was full after just two bites. In order to avoid embarrassment, she could only slow down and chew slowly.
Madam Gong, who was standing opposite, noticed something was wrong and sneered, "Why, it's not to Miss Gu's taste?"
"No, my stomach is not feeling well today..."
"Really? I thought the breakfast prepared by the chef I hired for 50,000 yuan this month was not to your taste. If it's true, your taste is even pickier than that of a real rich girl." It's typical that he is not destined to be a princess but has princess syndrome. She doesn't like this kind of poor guy.
"I wonder what kind of family Miss Gu comes from? I heard my son talk about you and him. Since you're getting married, can both sets of parents meet?"
"I don't have any parents. My parents are dead."
"So what does Miss Gu do?"
"Free men, without work."
"That means Miss Gu has nothing but a name and a face?"
"Yeah." Gu Wanqiu admitted generously, smiling generously and appropriately. For a moment, it was as if the old Gu Wanqiu had returned. She said slowly, "It is precisely because of these two points that Gong Qing fell in love with me and now likes me."
This shameless, good-for-nothing person didn't know what he was so proud of. Madam Gong wanted Gu Wanqiu to give up, so she said a lot of things about Gong Qing and "Gu Wanqiu", which were very ambiguous. But no matter what she said, the fake guy in front of her didn't care. She was like a fist hitting cotton.
That’s fine, Gong Qing’s attitude has always been towards Gu Wanqiu.
When she asked him what he thought, he said, "It's based on Gu Wanqiu's opinion," which made her very angry.
After breakfast, no one could sit still. If Gu Wanqiu were to get involved in such a family every day, everyone would feel depressed.
"We've explained everything we need to, it's time for us to leave." Gong Qing took Gu Wanqiu's hand and stood up, ready to leave.
"What do you mean by explaining it clearly? This woman has unknown origins. She used the name Gu Wanqiu to deceive you. She's an orphan with nothing, like a blood-sucking worm. What good is there in a woman like her? I think you've been carried away. Three years ago, you suddenly disappeared for half a year, causing the company to lose over a billion. Was it also because of this woman?" Seeing Gong Qing's cold face and silence, Madam Gong was furious and raised the bowl in her hand.
"I asked you a question!"
The bowl flew straight towards Gu Wanqiu. Gu Wanqiu's breath was choked and she had no time to react. Gong Qing, who was originally standing on her right, flashed in front of her and the bowl landed on his shoulder and then fell to the ground and shattered.
Gu Wanqiu could hear the sound of the bowl hitting someone, and could feel the dull thud even through her clothes. It was obvious that if it had hit her in the face, the consequences would have been disastrous.
And there was half a bowl of hot soup in that bowl.
This time, Gong Qing's face turned cold. "That's enough! How much more do you want to do? Before you call others uneducated, shouldn't you face up to your current state? You really should go to the bathroom and look at your face in the mirror. Apart from crazy, I can't find another way to describe it!"
"Gong Qing, I'm your mother, and you actually called me a crazy woman!"
Gong Qing first checked Gu Wanqiu from head to toe. After making sure that she was fine, he held her wrist and protected her firmly behind him.
Gong Qing's face was as cold as ice, with a harsh curve at the corner of his mouth and eyes as intimidating as a hawk: "Isn't it? You frequently bring up the past Gu Wanqiu, trying to annoy my current lover. Do you want me to remind you how Wanqiu and I broke up? You forced me to break up a second time. Do you want to do it again? Mom, you take yourself too seriously. Do you think you are still the same Madam Gong and I am the son who is at your mercy? To put it bluntly, everything you have now is given by me. I can take it all away and let you be an ordinary person."
Madam Gong froze, her eyes filled with disbelief. She stumbled back a step, pointing her finger at Gong Qing and trembling, "You're actually threatening me for an outsider?"
"She's not an outsider. She's my girlfriend, my fiancée, and even more so, my future wife. I didn't bring her here today to seek your opinion. I just wanted to inform you that I want to marry the current Gu Wanqiu. Your opinions and objections are not within my consideration!"
