Chapter 42: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (42)

Wen Wan watched Gu Xuan and Gu Jiao walk further and further away, wanting to call out something, but her voice was hoarse.

Tears streamed down my face.

"Sister Wen Wan, why are you crying?"

Qin Fengfeng was startled when he saw the beautiful woman suddenly burst into tears.

Wen Wan wiped away her tears. "I just got sand in my eyes. Were those two your classmates?"

"That's right, Gu Xuan is Gu Jiao's brother. He's amazing. He always gets first place in the whole school and has won so many competition awards. Gu Jiao is also amazing. She's beautiful, can play the piano, and can paint. She's won so many painting awards."

"very nice."

In the five years without her, both children grew up healthy and became very successful.

"Sister Wen Wan, let's go."

Let's go.

"That's what Xiao Gu Jiao said as she got into the driver's car on the other side."

"Brother, that sister is so pretty!"

Xiao Gu Xuan frowned. He saw that the woman was staring straight at his sister, but there was no malice in her eyes. On the contrary, she seemed to have a familiar feeling to him.

However, he was certain that he had never met that person.

"Go home."

...

Since seeing the two children again, Wen Wan realized that she couldn't let go of them at all.

So every day he would quietly wait at the school gate, watching the two children leave school.

“Those bastards, Gu Ci has taken very good care of them.”

System: [So you can rest assured, host. Children forget things easily; it's been five years, and many things have faded from memory.]

"You bastard, if you can't comfort people, shut up."

system:【……】

Meanwhile, Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the driver's car, said to her brother, "Brother, this is the fifth time I've seen that pretty sister, but Qin Fengfeng has clearly already been picked up by her."

Did she say anything to you?

Jiaojiao shook her head. "She didn't say anything."

Xiao Gu Xuan looked at his younger sister and said, "Jiaojiao, you must remember not to talk to strangers and not to eat food from strangers, understand?"

"I know, but I don't think that pretty lady is a bad person."

"You can know a person's face but not their heart."

"Brother, I miss Mom so much. When is Mom coming back?"

Gu Xuan's eyes were a little red. Unlike his sister, everyone told her that their mother had gone to a very far place and would not be back for a very long time. But he knew that going to a very far place meant death and never coming back.

"When Jiaojiao grows up, Mom will come back."

"Then Jiaojiao needs to grow up quickly so that her mother can come back."

The driver in the car remembered what the young lady and young master had said. He was not only a driver, but also a bodyguard responsible for their safety. After all, as the heir to the Gu Group, it was hard to guarantee that no one with impure intentions would get close to the young lady and young master.

So the driver told President Gu what had happened.

After Gu Ci found out, he quickly had someone monitor the person and obtained a photo of him. However, he did not expect that the person who might be monitoring his child was actually Qingyun's assistant.

He quickly summoned Assistant Chen and handed him the photo, saying, "Go and investigate this person. I need all her information."

Assistant Chen looked at the person in the photo. Isn't this President Gu's "eldest daughter"?

Why did President Gu suddenly decide to investigate her?

However, they still quickly went down to investigate, and what they found was surprising – a lot of things were wrong.

Assistant Chen handed a piece of paper to President Gu.

"Mr. Gu, all the information that Ms. Wen Wan found is on this piece of paper."

"So little?"

"Yes, apart from coming to Feiyun Studio as Teacher Qingyun's assistant, there was no other valid information about her before. She has no parents and is an orphan, but the orphanage closed a few years ago. There is no information about her primary, middle, or high school education, nor any social connections. It's as if she appeared out of thin air."

Are you sure you've investigated thoroughly?

Gu Ci naturally trusted Assistant Chen's abilities; if the Gu family couldn't find it, then no one else could.

"Send someone to follow her, and report to me if anything happens."

"good."

—

Wen Wan was unaware that she was being targeted.

Looking at Gu Jiao and Gu Xuan every day, I feel genuine happiness.

Soon, the system was urging her to complete another task: [The Gu family and the Shen family have partnered on a new project, with Shen Li as the main person in charge. Spending so much time together, they're bound to develop feelings for each other.]

Wen Wan: She doesn't want to hear it.

She was afraid of becoming a despicable jealous person.

You need to create some unexpected encounters for them.

"Last time you said you'd create an opportunity, and you killed me. What are you going to do now? Since they're together every day, what are you worried about? Anyway, I can't climb up to them and keep an eye on them."

"You bastard, don't keep me from watching my baby get off school."

system:【……】

Who is he doing this for?

Wen Wan stood at the school gate, wearing a mask and hat to avoid being recognized. Even after almost all the students had left, Wen Wan still couldn't see her two children.

Did I miss something?

System: [Maybe, there are just too many people.]

The next day, Wen Wan still hadn't seen the two children. "Why aren't they here today? Could something have happened to them?"

System: [What are you going to do?]

Wen Wan ran to the security office, "Security guards, have you seen students Gu Jiao and Gu Xuan?"

Security guard: "With so many students at this school every day, how could I possibly remember them all?"

"Is there any CCTV footage? I haven't seen them for two days."

"Who are you to them?"

Wen Wan: "I am—"

Yeah, what right does she have to come looking for people?

"I'm a friend of their mother, and I'm a little worried about them. Could I take a look at the security footage?" Wen Wan's eyes were red with anxiety, and the security guard, seeing her like this, didn't seem to be a stranger.

Moreover, he also bears responsibility if the child goes missing.

So he agreed, "Come with me."

Soon Wen Wan saw the surveillance footage at the school gate. This time she watched it slowly, one by one, but still didn't see Gu Xuan and Gu Jiao. She then begged to watch the surveillance footage of going to school, but still they weren't there.

"The two children must not have gone to school. I'll call and contact the teacher."

Soon the teacher said that the two students had asked for leave because of family matters.

"As a parent, how come you didn't even know your child had asked for leave?" the security guard said.

Wen Wan: "Thank you, security guard."

Wen Wan left the security room.

"You bastard, do you think they're sick?"

System: [The Gu family has a family doctor.]

"So they really are sick? I want to go to the Gu family villa to take a look. I won't go inside, I'll just look from the entrance."

Wen Wan immediately took a taxi to the Gu family villa area.

What she didn't realize was that a car was following her after she left.

"Mr. Gu, isn't Wen Wan a bit strange? Why is she so focused on the young lady and the young master?"

Gu Ci's expression was calm. "Follow me."

"OK."
