Lu Qing didn't think much about it; it didn't matter whose car she rode in, as long as she had a place to stay for the night.
Gu Xicheng understood his grandmother's meaning; she wanted him to spend more time with Lu Qing and develop a relationship, but he didn't want to.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be alone with Lu Qing to make things clear to her, but Lu Qing closed her eyes and fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, ignoring him completely.
Gu Xicheng frowned slightly: "Lu Qing! Lu Qing!"
He called out several times, but Lu Qing didn't respond.
Gu Xicheng glanced at her and sighed helplessly when he saw that Lu Qing had one eye open.
This girl must have guessed what he was going to say, which is why she pretended to be asleep!
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she was still deeply in love with him. Gu Xicheng suddenly felt like a bastard.
"Forget it! Let's talk about this later!"
In the passenger seat, Lu Qing was fast asleep, completely unaware of Gu Xicheng's ulterior motives.
As for the half-open eye, that's just a habit of hers.
Lu Qing slept until the car stopped, stretched, and asked groggily:
Have we arrived?
Gu Xicheng smiled, "Little girl, you're quite the actress!"
"We're here! Let's get off!"
Lu Qing rubbed his eyes. Just as he got out of the car, a glass shattered at his feet.
Gu Xicheng immediately pulled Lu Qing behind him, glaring angrily at Gu Rongrong opposite him:
"what you do!"
When Gu Rongrong saw them return, she trembled in fright, and the cup in her hand clattered to the ground again.
At this moment, Gu Yan and Nan Qian helped the old lady out of the car and walked over.
"Rongrong, what are you doing now? How can you just throw cups around like that!"
Nan Qian stepped forward angrily.
Gu Rongrong panicked immediately and quickly blocked the doorway:
"Mom, why are you back so soon?"
Nan Qian sensed something was wrong and immediately frowned, asking, "Why are you stopping us?"
"No...it's nothing."
Gu Rongrong lowered her eyes in a panic.
The old lady didn't have Nan Qian's good temper. Seeing this, she strode over, pushed Gu Rongrong aside, and opened the half-closed door on the other side.
As soon as the door opened, everyone saw a girl wearing a faded t-shirt kneeling on a pile of broken glass.
In the summer, the girl was wearing shorts with her knees completely exposed, and she was bleeding profusely from being cut by shards of glass.
Even so, the girl still stubbornly refused to get up.
What happened is obvious to everyone if they use their brains a little.
They all knew this girl; she was Wang Fei, the daughter of the nanny, Wang Ma, and had been living with her mother at home.
The Gu family is kind-hearted and did not mistreat Wang Fei just because she was the nanny's daughter; they treated her like a junior.
Gu Rongrong usually didn't seem to have much of a problem with Wang Fei, but I never expected her to treat her like this in private.
After the initial shock, the old lady quickly went over and helped Wang Fei up.
"Child, get up quickly!"
The old lady's eyes welled up with tears when she saw the marks on Wang Fei's knees.
"What a terrible thing! What a terrible thing!"
"Go get the doctor right now!"
At this moment, the nanny, Wang Ma, came over:
"What happened?"
Gu Yan and Nan Qian looked at her with guilty expressions:
"We're so sorry! Sister Wang, we didn't expect Rongrong to bully Feifei and even hurt her. We're so sorry!"
Wang Ma glanced at Wang Fei, then at Gu Rongrong. Surprisingly, she wasn't angry; instead, she sternly reprimanded Wang Fei:
"You were the one who made Miss Rongrong angry first, why are you pretending to be pitiful in front of your husband and wife!"
Hearing that someone was on her side, Gu Rongrong immediately felt more confident:
"Yes! Aunt Wang is right! Wang Fei was the one who bullied me first, I was just punishing her a little!"
The old lady was already angry, and when she heard Gu Rongrong's words, she became even angrier and picked up her cane to hit her.
"You beast, you still won't admit your mistake even now!"
"Do you think you're some rich man's daughter? You can punish whomever you want!"
Gu Rongrong was unable to dodge in time and was hit several times by the cane.
Seeing this, Wang Ma quickly stepped in front of Gu Rongrong, grabbing the old lady's cane:
"Madam, Miss Rongrong is your own granddaughter, how could you hit her!"
Gu Yan and Nan Qian, worried that the old lady might get hurt again, quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Mom, calm down, don't make yourself angry!"
"Sister Wang, don't worry about Rongrong, take Wang Fei to see the family doctor to treat her wound first," Nan Qian said, frowning.
Wang Ma glanced at Wang Fei and said reluctantly:
"Madam, that girl has thick skin and is only slightly injured. There's no need to treat it."
As she spoke, she glared at Wang Fei, signaling her to speak.
The last glimmer of light in Wang Fei's eyes vanished. She looked at Gu Yan and Nan Qian, and smiled bitterly:
"Sir, Madam, I'm alright. Miss Rongrong didn't bully me; it was my own choice!"
Wang Fei's ability to study in the capital city is entirely due to the Gu family. Gu Rongrong is the young lady of the Gu family, and she has the right to enroll in school and the right to pay tuition. Let alone making her kneel on broken glass, she would kneel on nails if she wanted to.
Because studying was her only chance to leave this home and her mother.
Everyone frowned as they looked at Wang Fei.
Wang's mother was usually overly harsh on Wang Fei, but they just assumed she didn't want to lose her job.
Unexpectedly, even at this point, Wang Ma still showed no pity for Wang Fei, and instead kept scolding her.
Just as everyone was silent, Lu Qing's laughter suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.
"Heh! How interesting! You ignore your own daughter and keep protecting someone else. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Gu Rongrong is your real daughter!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ma and Gu Rongrong's expressions changed drastically.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Miss Rongrong is of noble lineage, the eldest daughter of the Gu family. You are not allowed to insult her!" Wang Ma shouted angrily.
"The eldest daughter of the Gu family? Ha~" Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer:
"When I was reading novels in the mountains, I often saw the trope of real and fake heiresses. I never thought that such a thing actually happened in real life."
Lu Qing looked at Gu Yan and Nan Qian and smiled:
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, haven't you noticed that this Miss Wang Fei actually looks more like you?"
The Gu family members weren't fools; Lu Qing had already put it this way, how could they not understand?
If you look closely, Wang Fei is actually more like a member of the Gu family than Gu Rongrong.
Not only in temperament and behavior, but also in appearance, they are very similar.
They had joked about it before, but Gu Rongrong got really angry when she heard it, and no one brought it up again after that.
Nan Qian suddenly remembered that Wang Ma was the postpartum nanny she had hired when she was about to give birth.
When Gu Rongrong was little, she was very fussy and difficult to take care of. She would only stop crying when she was in Wang Ma's arms.
At the time, she thought it was because Wang Ma was more experienced, but now she realizes it was because of their blood relationship.
Seeing the change in the Gu family's expressions, Wang Ma became so anxious that she pointed at Lu Qing and started cursing:
"You little bitch, what nonsense are you spouting! Rongrong is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but she's not my daughter!"
Her shrewish demeanor was almost identical to how Gu Rongrong had pointed at Lu Qing and started cursing at him in the hospital.
They say dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes. They didn't really believe it before, but now they have no choice but to.
Lu Qing shrugged and looked at Gu Yan and the others:
"I've already said this much, whether you believe it or not is up to you."
"Oh, right! Just one more thing, the evil spirit haunting Grandma is also an old woman, and it looks like she just died of illness not long ago. It should be related to them."
The old lady just died of illness; it was related to Wang Ma and Gu Rongrong...
When this information came together, Gu Xicheng immediately realized:
“Wang Ma took a few days off recently because her mother passed away, and Gu Rongrong wasn’t home during those days.”
