Chapter 842 Loyalty is a Dog’s Duty

Gu Wanqiu finished speaking calmly, then looked at Li Jinxing calmly.

She didn't know whether Li Jinxing's acting was too good, or he had forgotten the insult and no longer cared about it. He didn't stop eating the buns until he swallowed the bun in his mouth and drank a sip of free tea before speaking.

"I don't know if there will be retribution. If you know there will be retribution, will you not do it?"

"That's right." Gu Wanqiu laughed. Li Jinxing was right. She would do it no matter what the result was. She had to pay for what she wanted.

Gu Wanqiu tried to think about it. She was born in such an environment. If she didn't take action, others would. Take Liu Zhenzhen for example. Her purpose was to drive her away. Unfortunately, she was wrong. She was not an ignorant girl who could be calculated by her.

Gu Wanqiu would not ask Li Jinxing whether he hated her and wanted to take revenge on her because of his mother's death.

Some things are not worth tearing apart. Besides, it happened too long ago. Rather than saying that Gu Wanqiu was partly responsible for his mother's death, it would be better to say that the biggest sinner was his father.

Even if Li Jinxing hated her, he still stayed by her side, worked for her, and fell in love with her.

"When we get back, he'll definitely ask me what happened in the hospital. I'm wondering if he's saying those things to me through Liu Zhenzhen, deliberately trying to disgust me."

Gu Wanqiu didn't have a good impression of Gu Chaodong to begin with, and now Liu Zhenzhen had maliciously cut a big hole in her neck. The malice poured into her like a flood that couldn't be stopped, making her dislike Gu Chaodong even more.

Li Jinxing asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I want to do your job, will you help me?" Gu Wanqiu asked back.

"I'm your wolfdog. Loyalty and protection are a dog's duty. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Li Jinxing's words instantly improved Gu Wanqiu's mood.

How to do it...

Gu Wanqiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about the recording for now. Let him ask Liu Zhenzhen himself and see how much Liu Zhenzhen can say."

Liu Zhenzhen is no longer worthy of her attack, just let her fend for herself.

Before that, she wanted to confirm whether she and Gu Chaodong were related by blood. If not... then what Liu Zhenzhen said would be somewhat credible, and she would be in greater danger.

If so, she would be safe.

As for her mother, she didn't plan to check. She would definitely not be able to find out even if she did. She could only make a judgment based on Gu Chaodong's expression.

…

Gu family.

Sure enough, Gu Chaodong was still there, sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for Gu Wanqiu.

Before Gu Wanqiu's car stopped, Butler Wang went to remind Gu Chaodong: "Sir, the young lady is back."

"I see."

Gu Chaodong has been able to build such a big business because he has long since mastered the skill of keeping his emotions hidden. Butler Wang couldn't tell whether Gu Chaodong was angry or not.

However, yesterday was the first time he saw Gu Chaodong so angry at Gu Wanqiu that he almost overturned the table. In just one night, there was no anger on Gu Chaodong's face. He was the same as usual, and there was no sign that he was angry yesterday.

Emotionally, Butler Wang is more inclined towards Gu Wanqiu. After all, he was the one who watched the young lady grow up.

So after notifying Gu Chaodong, Butler Wang quickly ran to the door. When he saw Gu Wanqiu coming out of the car, he waved anxiously. When Gu Wanqiu approached, he leaned over and said, "Miss, the gentleman is waiting for you inside. When you see him later, be nice to him..."

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Wang." Gu Wanqiu smiled brightly, but when she stepped into the house, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. Only Li Jinxing noticed such a drastic change.

The face that was smiling brightly just now now nodded and lowered its brows. Even the smile that had not yet disappeared from the corners of its mouth became forced, and the paleness on its face that had not yet recovered was just right.

When Gu Wanqiu went in, she had already prepared herself mentally. When she saw Gu Chaodong, she was not panicked at all. The moment to test people's hearts had come.

"Dad, I'm back..." Gu Wanqiu called out in a low, trembling voice, her voice a little hoarse. She slowly moved in front of Gu Chaodong like a child who had done something wrong, and lowered her head as if she was standing in the corner as if she was being punished.

"Have you met Liu Zhenzhen?"

"Well, I even bought her some fruit. Dad, I know I was wrong and shouldn't have provoked her... But she said something to me, and I really couldn't stand her coming into the Gu family and becoming my stepmother..."

"What did she say to you?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Chaodong's expression changed. Although it was very slight, she still caught it. Gu Wanqiu lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice with grievance: "She said my mother was dead. She also said that the little brother she gave birth to in the future would inherit the Gu family's property. Dad, is my mother really dead? Didn't you say that she ran away with someone else after giving birth to me?"

"Did she really say that to you?"

Gu Wanqiu didn't know if Gu Chaodong believed her. What she said was half true and half false. Besides, Liu Zhenzhen originally wanted to use the unborn child to gain power. Didn't she also have the idea of stealing the family property? If she didn't have ambition, she wouldn't have hooked up with Gu Chaodong, who was twenty years older than her.

"Yeah, so Dad, is my mom really dead?"

She saw a hint of obscurity in Gu Chaodong's eyes. Gu Chaodong stared at her face without saying a word. After a while, he raised his hand and placed it on the top of her head.

The action of patting the head is very common in the relationship between father and daughter. Gu Chaodong had touched her head before, but this time she was disgusted by Liu Zhenzhen's words. When Gu Chaodong's hand was about to touch her head, she subconsciously wanted to hide, but she held back. Even Li Jinxing, who was watching from the side, was nervous at this moment.

Gu Chaodong patted her head. Gu Wanqiu looked up, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Dad, I shouldn't have been so willful and shouldn't have made you angry... Although my mother wasn't by my side since I was a child, I always felt that no one could replace her. I hated other women marrying into the Gu family for ulterior motives. But after this incident with Aunt Liu, whether my mother was dead or not, she was just a stranger to me. You were the one who raised me, and you're so lonely..."

Gu Wanqiu's words were so sweet. Gu Chaodong sighed and made a decision: "You're grown up now, and it's time for you to know some things. Your mother is indeed gone. I didn't tell you the truth because I was afraid you would be sad, but now, I think you have the right to know the truth."

So, is the truth as disgusting as Liu Zhenzhen said?

He could have told her directly that her mother was dead, but he chose to lie to her that her mother ran away with another man. Isn't this clearly making her hate her mother?

Does Gu Chaodong love that woman or hate that woman?
