Chapter 453 The Game Begins

I recuperated for a few more days.

Wang Yuanling insisted on going back to see the two elders of the Wang family.

Gu Zhou had no choice.

Compromise: "I'll take you back."

Wang Yuanling decisively said, "No."

Gu Zhou's face suddenly fell.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanling softened her tone and soothed him gently, "I just don't want them to think too much. After all, you're a busy man, and you specially sent me back. They're definitely confused."

Gu Zhou was silent for a few seconds, and his voice became heavy: "Don't you consider admitting our relationship to the elders?"

Wang Yuanling observed his clearly unhappy expression and considered, "It's not that I won't consider it. It's just that as I explained to you last time, since we've just confirmed our relationship, I don't want too many external factors to affect the development of our relationship."

Gu Zhou stared at her without blinking: "No matter what external factors may arise, my feelings for you will not waver."

Wang Yuanling's lips opened and closed.

Finally, he said, "Okay, me too."

Gu Zhou didn't send her there in person in the end.

But someone was sent to escort her anyway.

Wang Yuanling didn't refuse anymore.

Just accept it with pleasure.

After being protected by Gu Zhou and getting into the car, Wang Yuanling glanced at him standing outside the car and said, "Then I'll be leaving first."

"Yeah." Gu Zhou's pupils were darkened by the sunlight, but he couldn't suppress the concern inside. He reminded in a magnetic voice: "Be careful when getting in and out of the car, don't pull the wound."

Wang Yuanling chuckled: "Okay, I understand, you can go back."

Gu Zhou nodded, but did not leave.

When he cast his gaze towards the driver, he was even more stern: "Drive slower, don't damage her wound."

The driver immediately turned around and said, "Okay, Mr. Gu!"

The smile on Wang Yuanling's face slowly faded when the car door separated them.

He lowered his eyes and sent a message.

When Wang Yuanling arrived at the Wang family.

Housekeeper Zhou saw her difficulty in moving from afar and hurried out of the house.

"Miss, let me help you!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Wang Yuanling smiled lightly and pointed inside the car: "Please help me take down this bouquet of flowers for my grandmother."

Butler Zhou leaned over to embrace the freshly bloomed flower.

Wait until he turns around.

Wang Yuanling handed over a card.

Butler Zhou was bewildered: "Miss, what is this?"

Wang Yuanling chuckled, "It's almost a season change, and I see you always wear the same clothes. This is a new joint shopping card launched by several major shopping malls. There's no limit on the purchase amount, and it's valid at the four major shopping malls in the city center. When you have time, go buy some new clothes, some skincare products for Auntie, clothes, shoes, bags, whatever you want."

Butler Zhou's eyes were eager: "This, this, Miss, I can't have this."

Wang Yuanling insisted: "Don't be polite with me, my hand hurts from holding it up, please take it quickly."

Butler Zhou quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Miss! I thank you on behalf of your aunt, too!"

Wang Yuanling smiled: "What are you thanking me for? We are a family."

"Yes, yes! Miss is right, we are a family!"

Housekeeper Zhou held the flowers in one hand and supported Wang Yuanling with the other, smiling: "These flowers are really beautiful, they are all the old lady's favorites."

Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said, "These flowers are in season. I hope Grandma will like them."

Butler Zhou: "I'm sure she'll like it! The things you buy always suit the old lady's taste."

"That's good. By the way, Uncle Zhou, I've made my grandfather angry again recently. If I can't appease him later, you have to help me."

In the Wang family for so many years.

Wang Yaozu is really angry.

Most of the time, Wang Yuanling was made angry because she was actually innocent. It was just that Mr. Wang didn't like her and beat and scolded her. No one dared to say who was right or wrong, but everyone knew it clearly.

The shopping card in his hand was still warm, and Butler Zhou immediately said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you, young lady."

Wang Yuanling's eyes curved: "Okay~"

Meet Mr. Wang.

As expected, his expression was not good.

Mr. Wang said solemnly, "I heard that you were in a car accident and it was Gu Zhou who took you to the hospital. How did he know where you had the accident?"

Wang Yuanling truthfully said, "I had an appointment with Mr. Gu to go to the project site together that day, but my car was punctured on the way. So Mr. Gu, who arrived at the site first, noticed that I hadn't shown up for a long time, so he called to ask me."

Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes and deduced from her meaning, "So he just happened to call you, and you just happened to ask him for help?"

Wang Yuanling remained calm: "Yes."

Old Master Wang snorted coldly: "The night you had the accident, I went to the hospital to look for you, but did you know that Gu Zhou sent someone to stop me outside?!"

Wang Yuanling's eyelashes drooped slightly. "I know his actions were a bit drastic, but he's also worried that if something really happens to me, his investment will be wasted, so I understand."

"Understand?!" The old man was furious: "So you also agree with his approach?!"

"No, Grandfather, I don't agree with what he did. I was unconscious at the time and didn't know he did that."

But Mr. Wang refused to listen and scolded her.

After scolding for a while, Old Lady Wang on the side finally spoke up to persuade him: "Alright, alright. The child was unconscious at the time and didn't know the situation. Otherwise, I think if Yuan Ling knew you were here, he would definitely not allow Gu Zhou to do this."

Wang Yuanling responded, "Yes, Grandfather, if I was sober at the time, I would definitely not allow Gu Zhou to do this."

She looked innocent and refused to admit it.

Old Master Wang could only look gloomy, unable to convict her completely.

The atmosphere was quiet.

Wang Yuanling gave Butler Zhou a wink.

Butler Zhou immediately came up with some fruit, breaking the silence: "Come on, have some fruit, this fruit is freshly cut."

The two elders are used to being served.

Waiting for Wang Yuanling to pick some for them.

As a result, Wang Yuanling did not move.

The two elders looked surprised.

Seeing this, Butler Zhou hurriedly said, "Oh, Miss, let me clamp it for you. Is your collarbone broken?"

Wang Yuanling followed suit: "Yes, Uncle Zhou, I can't move my collarbone. Please help me pick up some food for my grandparents."

Butler Zhou immediately leaned forward to pick up the fruit: "Okay."

He just picked up some fruit and was about to hand it to the two elders.

Wang Yuanling then gently reminded him, "Uncle Zhou, grandpa likes to eat peaches, and grandma likes to eat sugar apples."

Butler Zhou immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, it's really getting worse and worse. It's still the young lady who remembers the tastes of the two elders the best."

Wang Yuanling: "Thank you for your help."

Butler Zhou smiled, exchanged glances with her, and handed her a peach: "Miss, come here, have some too."

Wang Yuanling narrowed her eyes and said, "Thank you."

She didn't hesitate to mention the real purpose of her visit today: "Grandfather, Mr. Gu asked me to help him and make an appointment with you."

Mr. Wang’s anger, which had just subsided, flared up again: “No!”

Wang Yuanling said calmly, "He's not meeting Mr. Gu. He said he has an uncle named Gu Dalong, and he wants to meet you to reminisce about the past."

"Plop." The half-bitten sugar-apple in Old Lady Wang's hand fell to the ground, making a small but particularly abrupt sound.

Wang Yuanling showed just the right amount of surprise: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

There was a hint of panic on Old Lady Wang's face that she couldn't hide.

Mr. Wang had a gloomy face.

After Butler Zhou picked up the fallen sugar apple, Old Lady Wang adjusted her expression and laughed dryly, "I'm fine, I just didn't hold it properly."

Wang Yuanling understood: "I'm glad you're okay. I thought you had a heart attack and gave me a scare."

She felt that Mr. Wang was staring at her sharply.

He simply raised his head and looked directly at Old Man Wang: "I've never heard of this uncle from the Gu family before, but he told Gu Zhou that he knew me. I couldn't remember him no matter how hard I tried. I didn't expect that he was a close friend of yours."

Mr. Wang said sternly, "He's just a socialite trying to get close to me. I don't know him well."

Wang Yuanling was surprised: "Is that so? Then I will reject Mr. Gu?"

Old Lady Wang said quickly, "Yes, Yuan Ling, his uncle used to be a restless person, and he loved to do some opportunistic business. We never deal with such messy people."

Wang Yuanling responded, "Okay, I understand. I'll turn it down later."

Leave the old house.

When getting in the car.

Wang Yuanling's expression was cold.

Kou's pink fingertips tapped on the phone screen from time to time.

She came back just to test the waters.

And Mrs. Wang’s panicked attitude just now.

Let her confirm that Gu Dalong was the main character in what happened back then.

Now that the role has been determined.

It's time for the game to begin.

The street lights outside the car flashed across her watery eyes.

Reflecting the strong hatred.
