In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
His body was tense; he wasn't sleeping at all, it was more like torture.
The woman in his mind slowly pulled her nightgown up, revealing her long, white, slender, and straight legs... but the woman lying next to him was already breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.
Gu Yunzhen suddenly had an urge to wake her up.
She was the one who seduced him, yet she was also the first to escape!
But after a moment, his hands remained clenched into fists, without moving an inch.
Although Gu Yunzhen's eyes were closed, she couldn't sleep all night.
As dawn broke, he sent a message to Gu Shiyi to go to the garden, then got up and, leaning on his cane, went into the bathroom to wash up.
Soon, Gu Yunzhen left the room, took the elevator downstairs, and arrived at the spacious garden.
"Fourth Young Master".
Gu Shiyi stepped forward and, without Gu Yunzhen needing to speak, reported: "The people who chased the car yesterday have been identified. It was the eldest wife of the Xiao family who sent them. Xiao Jingming went to the Gu residence at nine o'clock last night and stayed for less than ten minutes before the eldest young master asked him to leave. When Xiao Jingming returned home, he slapped the eldest wife of the Xiao family, and she went back to her parents' home overnight."
Gu Yunzhen's gaze was as cold as ice as he spoke in a low voice: "What is her purpose?"
"Madam Xiao said it was to teach the fourth young mistress a lesson on behalf of Xiao Zhongming."
Gu Shiyi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Gu Yunzhen glanced at him coolly: "Anything else?"
Gu Shiyi shuddered and guessed, "Madam Xiao must feel sorry for her sister."
Who is her sister?
Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. There was no record of Shangguan Wu ever visiting the capital city in the information, so there shouldn't be any interaction between them.
Gu Shiyi was dumbfounded. The Fourth Young Master didn't even know who the woman who had been pursuing him for two years was?
"It is the second young lady of the Li family, Li Mujiu."
Gu Shiyi replied.
Gu Yunzhen still had no recollection of it. He pressed his temples and asked in a cold voice, "Who is in charge of the Li family now?"
"It is Master Li, Li Changda."
"Have Uncle Qiao go to the Li family. Li Changda's daughter has done something wrong, so let the family apologize. If they still can't teach their daughter, then the Li family should cease to exist."
Gu Yunzhen's expression was indifferent, and his tone was equally nonchalant.
"Yes, Fourth Young Master."
Gu Shiyi respectfully replied, then took out his phone to call Gu Zhai.
Gu Yunzhen maneuvered her wheelchair toward the villa.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Shangguan Wu walking down the spiral staircase step by step.
Today, she wore a sleeveless long dress in a smoky light blue, which, combined with her light makeup, made her look fresh and refined. Her long curly hair was tied into a playful bun, with a few wisps of hair left at her temples. She looked like a fairy who had descended from heaven to play, ethereal and charming.
Gu Yunzhen stopped at some point.
He watched as Shangguan Wulian walked towards him with light, graceful steps. Her swaying figure lacked any of her former allure, making her seem like an innocent little girl.
Good morning, honey!
Shangguan Wu smiled softly and sweetly.
Gu Yunzhen's eyelids twitched slightly. She had a feeling that her sudden change made her seem like she was about to do something big.
"What happened?"
Shangguan Wu stared at him in surprise, then asked, "Can't it be that I dress up for the one I love, so you can see a different side of me?"
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"I've seen enough."
"ah?"
Shangguan Wu was completely bewildered.
Did he just say something suggestive?
Gu Yunzhen looked at her expression, his ears burning slightly. He asked calmly, "What is it?"
Shangguan Wu snapped out of her reverie and smiled, “Shangguan Xiong called and asked if I had time to attend a dinner party. I asked if it was related to the group, and he said it was about a 300 million project, so I agreed.”
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you afraid he'll scheme against you?"
Shangguan Wu's smile deepened, and instead of answering, she asked, "Shangguan Xinyi has come to the capital. What do you think made her suddenly leave home and run to the capital to find Quan Tianrui? After all, Quan Tianrui has been in the capital for several days. If she wanted to come, she would have come long ago."
"You suspect the banquet is a disguised blind date?"
This guess caused Gu Yunzhen's brows to furrow deeply.
Shangguan Wu nodded: "The enemy of my enemy may not be able to become my friend, but we can definitely cooperate."
"What are you talking about so early in the morning? Come and have some breakfast."
Shangguan Lin came out of the kitchen, took off his Peppa Pig apron, and walked towards the bedroom on the first floor.
Shangguan Wu looked at him in surprise: "Dad, did you make breakfast today?"
As Shangguan Lin walked, he said, "Yes, one of the kitchen ladies had a family accident, and the other twisted her ankle, so neither of them can come. Besides, your mom wanted to eat the fried eggs I made today, so I had to cook!"
"Can't come at the same time? What a coincidence!"
Shangguan Wu didn't react immediately; her first thought was that someone wanted to harm her parents.
Gu Yunzhen coughed twice to remind her.
When Shangguan Wu met his gaze, she suddenly realized that Qin Yiheng had begun the investigation and that his people would come in person to collect her mother's DNA sample.
Seeing her father enter the room, Shangguan Wu bent down and whispered in Gu Yunzhen's ear, "Honey, could you please tell Brother Qin that my mother is pregnant and that he shouldn't collect her blood DNA sample?"
"good."
Gu Yunzhen took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Yiheng.
When Shangguan Wu saw what he posted, her eyebrows and eyes instantly curved into crescent shapes, and she smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared from her eyes.
When Shangguan Lin came out, he saw his little daughter staring at her son-in-law with a lovestruck smile. His lips twitched uncontrollably: "Be more mature."
ah?
Shangguan Wu turned to look at him: "Dad, we're going back to Changteng City after breakfast!"
"Let's go, let's go, your mom and I can finally have some alone time."
Shangguan Lin plans to build an open-air home theater at home so that he and his wife can enjoy the feeling of a movie theater without leaving the house.
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow. "I'm afraid you won't have any time for just the two of you."
She didn't tell her dad that her grandparents were going home today until she boarded the helicopter and left.
On the helicopter, Shangguan Wu turned his head to look at Gu Yunzhen, who was wearing an eye patch.
Will he go with her tonight?
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of last night. What a great opportunity she had wasted! If she had just flirted with him a little more, he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist!
A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
Fortunately, after his acupuncture treatment tonight, he'll be taking the second phase of his medicinal bath. She'll need to monitor him closely, just like the first time, so there should be a chance...
Shangguan Wu's lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes sparkling as if filled with starlight.
Suddenly my phone rang.
She looked down and saw it was her dad calling!
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but laugh.
After answering the call, she raised the hand holding the phone and turned on speakerphone.
"Wu Bao! How could you betray your dearest father?"
Shangguan Lin's angry voice pierced through the air.
Gu Yunzhen slowly removed her blindfold.
