Gu Huaixu exuded an imposing aura. "The banquet is just a pretense; in reality, Madam wants to take a good look at the two Wen sisters."
Gu Huaixu's bluntness made it difficult for Madam Gu to maintain her smile.
"It's just been too quiet lately, and I wanted to liven things up a bit."
"What does it have to do with me?"
After speaking arrogantly, he turned around and took the elevator up.
The staff sitting on the sofa nearby were somewhat at a loss after witnessing the arrogant 'confrontation' between the second young master of Gu and Madam Gu.
The rumors are true.
Young Master Gu is eccentric and arrogant, and doesn't respect anyone.
Including his own mother, Madam Gu!
"That's all for now. Go back and finish the plan," Gu Zeyu said to the staff.
The staff immediately understood, packed their things, and left.
Gu Zeyu then dismissed the Gu family's servants in the living room.
Madam Gu stared at the elevator Gu Huaixu had just taken, then turned to Gu Zeyu after a long while, "What happened today?"
Gu Zeyu explained the events at the bar and hospital today in detail.
As she listened, Madam Gu sat back down on the sofa, sipping her flower tea and pondering the information Gu Zeyu had given her.
After Gu Zeyu finished speaking, he stared at Madam Gu and asked, "Could it be that because I was concerned about Wen Yi and neglected Wen Ge, that Master got so angry?"
"That's also possible."
“When Wen Ge and her mother were wronged at the hospital, my grandfather warned me to take Wen Yi and leave immediately.”
"I always felt that things wouldn't be that simple."
After a few minutes of contemplation, Madam Gu placed the flower tea on the table. "Wen Ge will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Go with her to pick her up, and mention my birthday banquet while you're at it."
"Understood, Mother."
"Bring the Second Master up."
Gu Zeyu was surprised and glanced at the elevator Gu Huaixu was in. "Should we call him?"
Madam Gu nodded, "We'll observe him carefully then. If he shows concern for Wen Ge, then you should completely let go of Wen Ge and choose Wen Yi."
Madam Gu stared at Gu Zeyu, noticing that he seemed lost in thought, and reminded him, "What did I tell you when he became the second young master of the Gu family? Have you forgotten?"
"I remember," Gu Zeyu replied softly.
“Remember this and don’t offend him.” Madam Gu stood up. “Given his status, if he becomes dissatisfied with us, the entire Gu family could disappear from Haicheng overnight.”
...
The next day.
When Wen arrived at the hospital, she saw Wen Ge changing into a dress and asking her mother if it looked good.
"She looks beautiful. Our Wenge looks good in anything." The mother held Wenge's hand, her eyes filled with love and joy.
That was a look Wen Yi had never received before.
That was also the look in Wen Yi's eyes that she longed for and wanted most during her growing years.
Unfortunately, Wen's mother was initially delighted to see Wen Ge, but when she turned around and saw Wen Yi enter, her smile vanished instantly, replaced by deep displeasure.
"Didn't I tell you not to come over?" Mother Wen asked impatiently.
I just texted Gu Zeyu and asked if Gu Huaixu had come along too, wanting to see him.
Wen Yi remained silent, considering how to respond to her mother.
Just as she was about to speak, her mother waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, I get angry just looking at you, unable to utter a single word for so long. You're not even a fraction as good as your sister."
All of Wen Yi's words were stuck in her throat.
The mother added, "If you really consider Wen Ge your sister, then you shouldn't cause any more trouble or sabotage between Wen Ge and Young Master Gu."
Wen stood aside, remaining silent.
"Mom, please don't talk about my sister like that."
Wen Ge, who was standing nearby, kindly stopped her, and when she walked up to Wen Yi, her expression was one of heartache and guilt.
Wen Ge grabbed Wen Yi's hand. "Sister, I'm sorry."
"Wen Ge, what are you doing?" The mother could not tolerate Wen Ge's apology.
Wen Ge held Wen Yi's hand tightly. "I'm so sorry, both before and yesterday. I've caused trouble for my sister. I should have supported Gu Dashao's choice of my sister, but I'm sorry, I just can't control my heart."
"When Young Master Gu took one step towards me, I wanted to run towards him with all my might..."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ge's face was filled with a helpless, bitter smile. "But I know that unrequited love is the norm. Since he has already chosen you, why should I force it?"
"But I have no choice. It might make me do something wrong. Please don't hold it against me, sister?"
Wen Ge poured out her heart, tears streaming down her face.
In contrast, Wen Yi, with his expressionless face and even unwavering gaze, appears clearly cold-blooded and ruthless.
Seeing this, Wen's mother was furious and stepped forward, intending to attack Wen Yi.
"Mom!" Wen Ge stopped her.
Wen's mother couldn't stand it. "I just can't stand her acting like everyone owes her something. Is our Wen family lacking her or abusing her? Why does she have to have such a sullen face?"
"Speaking of which, it was because of your birth that your father and I failed in our business for the first time. If it weren't for the good fortune brought by Wen Ge's birth, where would our Wen family be today?"
Wen Yi pursed her lips and remained silent.
I'm tired of hearing that kind of talk.
At first, I couldn't stand it; my heart was stabbing with pain.
Now?
It has long been indestructible.
"you……"
'Knock knock knock'
The sudden knocking interrupted Wen's mother's attempt to reprimand Wen Yi.
When Wen's mother turned around and saw that it was Gu Zeyu, she immediately composed herself and said, "Young Master Gu is here."
When Wen looked up, she saw Gu Zeyu looking at Wen Ge, seemingly forgetting her existence.
"I've come to pick up Wen Ge."
Wen Ge lowered her head, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she looked up at Gu Zeyu, she showed a strong and healing smile, "Young Master Gu."
"What's wrong?" Gu Zeyu asked with concern.
