Chapter 134: Watching the Show
After ending her phone call with her mother, Wen Yi called Wen Ge.
However, Wen Ge did not answer.
After Wen Yi checked into the hotel, Wen Ge returned the call, her voice very soft, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"I wanted to remind you that when Madam Gu arrives tomorrow, she might say some unpleasant things, so you should make the most of the opportunity."
“I know, sister, I know what to do tomorrow,” Wen Ge replied.
Wen Yi didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
That night, Wen Yi was certain that Wen Ge hadn't slept. It was quite lively back home, and Wen Yi hadn't slept either, just staring blankly out the window all night.
Even though everything was within her calculations, Wen Yi was still in a very bad mood.
She felt terrible, unable to find peace before her grandparents' burial, and felt very guilty. But tonight was the best time; if she missed tonight, things wouldn't go so smoothly at other times.
Wen Yi thought to herself that she was no different from Wen Ge and the others, and that she would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
...
The next day.
Wen Yi took a plane back to Haicheng.
When she landed, she thought Xiao Kongkong would come to pick her up, but when the extended Rolls-Royce appeared in front of her, Wen Yi was stunned.
Luo Yi got out of the car and opened the back seat for Wen Yi.
Master Gu, wearing a mask, sat inside the car.
He was wearing a pure white suit today, sitting casually in the car without glancing at Wen Yi, as if something else outside the window was attracting his attention.
Wen Yi was surprised that Second Master Gu would come to pick her up. She was taken aback, but she was also pleasantly surprised.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Master Gu in this white suit.
Gu Huaixu has a strikingly handsome appearance, and he always exudes a carefree and languid air. Wearing a white suit like this would give him a unique and unconventional look.
Just like now.
Ignoring the mask worn by Master Gu, he always exudes a lazy yet romantic vibe.
"Second Madam?"
Seeing Wen Yi staring at Gu Huaixu, Luo Yi spoke up to remind him.
Wen Yi realized what was happening, made an apologetic expression, then got into the car and sat down next to Master Gu.
Luo Yi closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, and started the car.
"Should we go back to the Imperial Garden, or..." Luo Yi asked.
Wen Yi immediately said, "Go back to my hometown, I'll send you the address right away."
"No need, the car navigation is there," Luo Yi said, turning on the navigation to head towards Wen Yi's hometown.
Wen Yi had some doubts, but then she remembered that on the first night after her maternal grandparents were sent back to their hometown, Master Gu had been there and stayed with her the whole time.
Even now, when Wen recalls it, she sometimes remembers leaning on his shoulder and finding the feeling of Gu Huaixu.
Wen Yi leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.
She thought she had really gone crazy lately.
Previously, I just thought that Second Master Gu looked a lot like Gu Huaixu, so when I missed Gu Huaixu occasionally, I treated him as a substitute for Huaixu.
But now, she's starting to look forward to the appearance of Second Master Gu, feeling that he's just like Gu Huaixu in every way, and she can even relate to Gu Huaixu's personality.
Wen Yi felt that he had gone mad.
She changed the subject, "Why did you suddenly come to pick me up?"
"Just passing by," Gu Huaixu replied indifferently.
Wen Yi, however, did not believe it.
Just as Wen Yi was about to speak again, Gu Huaixu suddenly smiled and added, "Let's go check out the show while we're at it."
He raised his head slightly after speaking, glanced at the clock face, and said, "At this time, there's a good show going on over there, so naturally we should go and take a look."
As Gu Huaixu spoke, his gaze was fixed on Wen Yi, his deep eyes holding a meaningful look, which was quite interesting.
They were able to pull off such a grand spectacle.
Wen Yi understood the meaning in the other person's eyes. She neither admitted nor denied anything.
"We need to hurry, or the show will be over."
Gu Huaixu stared at Wen Yi, "Luo Yi."
Upon receiving the instruction, Luo Yi immediately increased the car's speed and took the nearest highway back to his hometown of Wen Yi.
When the car arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a large crowd had already gathered inside and outside the courtyard, and all sorts of noises could be heard from inside, clearly indicating that a big show was taking place.
Luo Yi found a good spot to ensure that Gu Huaixu and Wen Yi could see the scene in the Wen family courtyard directly from inside the car.
Wen Ge had a wound on her forehead, her head was down, her eyes were empty, and she looked like she had suffered a lot of injustice.
The group included not only relatives from his hometown, but also representatives from families in Haicheng that were on good terms with the Wen family, as well as some reporters.
Wen Yi was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, to ensure everything went perfectly today, my parents even called in reporters.
Their gaze shifted to Madam Gu.
Madam Gu is a noble lady from the most prestigious family in Haicheng, and she is usually aloof and dignified.
Back then, Mr. Gu was handsome and had the Gu family to rely on, so many women flocked to him, using all sorts of overt and covert means to try and get close to the Gu family.
But the Gu family matriarch dealt with them all one by one, and to this day, decades later, no woman who wanted to curry favor with the Gu family has succeeded.
It's long been rumored within Haicheng's elite circles that Madam Gu possesses a shrewd and cunning mind. Not only is she meticulous, but she also employs sophisticated and ruthless methods. Women who try to curry favor with the Gu family never end up well when they encounter her.
At this moment, Madam Gu's face was very cold as she looked at the reporters and Wen Ge, who was crying with tears streaming down her face.
Gu Zeyu stood there awkwardly, not saying a word. His gaze lingered on Wen Ge for a moment before turning to look at Madam Gu.
His eyes were filled with urgency.
Madam Gu calmly tidied her hair, walked up to Gu Zeyu, and straightened his disheveled appearance.
The white shirt had many lipstick kiss marks on it, which looked quite unsightly.
It's really disrespectful for such a situation to occur, especially on a wake night like this.
Madam Gu said, "Our family member Zeyu returned to the country yesterday and learned of the accidents that happened to the Wen family. He felt sorry for them and came to see them."
Madam Gu's voice was cold. After helping Gu Zeyu tidy up his things, she looked at Wen's parents and Wen Ge.
Madam Gu had a sharp eye; when she stared at Wen Ge, it made Wen Ge feel uncomfortable and even a little panicked.
Wen Ge dared not meet Madam Gu's gaze.
Madam Gu said, "Previously, Zeyu intended to choose between the two young ladies of the Wen family. Unfortunately, the eldest young lady was already married, and there were many incompatibilities between the second young lady and Zeyu, so the marriage was terminated. I never expected that this funeral would bring Zeyu and the second young lady of the Wen family together."
Madam Gu spoke calmly, as if she were talking about something ordinary.
She continued, "However, Miss Wen, I need to remind you that if a man comes to see you in the middle of the night, don't see him. After all, this is a matter of upbringing, and it's not something that can be easily explained. Yesterday it was Zeyu who came; what if it was someone else..."
