Method 303: A Great Gift
"Okay, then you should get some rest. I'll come see you when I'm done, okay?"
"Yeah, don't overwork yourself."
"By the way, what would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you when I'm done with this."
Xiao Yan immediately transformed into a considerate boyfriend. Gu Mingxia leaned back on the sofa, thought for a while, and then suddenly her brows furrowed.
"I want to eat durian."
"Oh... no problem, I'll bring it to you later."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yan frowned deeply. Gu Mingxia used to be unable to bear hearing anyone mention durian, but now that she's pregnant, she's actually willing to eat it. What a strange appetite!
While Gu Mingxia and Xiao Yan were basking in the joy of regaining their lost love after forgiving each other, A Xin was pacing back and forth in her room, clearly very anxious.
Ever since her conversation with Gu Mingxia in the garden, A Xin has been constantly recalling the letter Gu Huaikun wrote to her.
Although Gu Huaikun didn't mention anything to her in his heart and didn't blame her at all, Ah Xin could still understand Gu Huaikun's wishes from between the lines.
He wanted to protect the Gu Group and didn't want it to fall into the hands of others. Even she, his illegitimate daughter, couldn't touch the Gu Group, let alone Cai Feng.
Ah Xin sat on the carpet with a headache. When she looked up, she saw a photo of her and Gu Huaikun hanging in the room. It was taken when she pushed Gu Huaikun to visit a history museum in the suburbs in order to get closer to him. It was also the only photo of the two of them together.
"I thought there would be many more opportunities, but I never expected that we would be separated by death like this."
Ah Xin hugged her knees and stared at the photo, saying something understated. Her words lacked her usual charisma and pride, instead carrying a hint of sadness.
She lacked both fatherly and motherly love from a young age, and apart from following Nan Lan's orders to seduce one man after another, she had never experienced any other warmth in her life.
During the time she deliberately approached Gu Huaikun, she pretended to be an obedient and filial daughter. Whether out of guilt or acting, Gu Huaikun gave A Xin the greatest warmth during that period. It was the only warmth and fatherly love she had in her life. But... she destroyed that relationship and that fatherly love with her own hands.
Ah Xin buried her head in her arms, her nose felt a little sore, and she held back the urge to cry, taking a deep sniff.
"Gu Mingxia, don't think you can blackmail me with the old man. Do you think the few days of fatherly love he gave me can make up for all the suffering I've endured over the years? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! I, A Xin, returned to Xiangcheng for revenge, to destroy the old man and the Gu family. Now that the old man is dead, I'm even more determined to destroy the Gu family!"
Ah Xin no longer knew what else she could do besides this.
"Gu Huaikun, do you think those few words you wrote will make me give up my desire for revenge? How naive!"
With a cold snort, Ah Xin looked up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up, grabbed her phone from the bed, and deftly dialed a number.
"Cai Feng, have your men arrived yet?"
"They should arrive tonight. Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Yes, I can't wait to see Gu Mingxia in pain, and I can't wait to see the Gu Group go bankrupt."
"Hahaha... Gu Huaikun really did raise a good daughter!" Cai Feng laughed heartily on the other end of the phone. A Xin merely moved her lips but didn't say anything more. After a long while, Cai Feng finally stopped laughing. "If you really can't wait, why don't you come to my place? We can discuss the details of tomorrow's operation together."
"That would be great, just wait for me, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, Ah Xin changed into a bright red tight-fitting knit dress, then put on a silver-gray wool cape, wore knee-high boots, let her long hair down, wore a red beret, and had a red scarf around her neck.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, which was both innocent and alluring, Ah Xin smiled charmingly.
As she went out, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Instead of letting the Gu family drive her, Ah Xin walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi.
Watching her departing figure, Qin Yueru shook her head, glanced at Lin Fu beside her, and said calmly.
"The master's second daughter is really unique. The master's seven-day mourning period has not yet passed, and she is already dressed in a flamboyant manner and going out. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at?"
"The master won't care about this. The Gu family won't care about these things either."
Lin Fu replied to Qin Yueru indifferently. Ever since Gu Huaikun passed away, he seemed to have lost all his energy. If Gu Huaikun hadn't told him to take good care of Gu Mingxia, Lin Fu would probably have fallen ill from excessive grief by now.
"That's true. The master has never cared about these empty titles, and the Gu family doesn't need to rely on them to maintain itself. I just can't stand it. How can a daughter go out for a secret rendezvous dressed in bright red and green before the seventh day after her father's death has even passed?"
Qin Yueru was born in a small city where people value these etiquettes highly, which is why she couldn't help but say a few more words when she saw A Xin like that.
"Let's go, it's snowing."
May this snow cover all the filth and ugliness, and may the old man find peace in the afterlife.
Upon arriving at Chai Bong's residence, one immediately sees him sitting alone on the sofa, drinking red wine.
"You look... quite beautiful. I just wonder what Gu Huaikun would feel if he saw his daughter dressed in bright red, having a secret rendezvous with the person who killed him, before the seventh day after his death was even over?"
"What do you think he'll feel? You were with me in the first place just to sleep with his daughter, weren't you? What, saying this now, don't you think it's a bit like crocodile tears?"
Ah Xin took off her cloak and looked at Cai Feng with a mocking expression. Since Gu Huaikun passed away, she felt more disgust and impatience when she saw Cai Feng, and she had long lost the desire to deal with him as before.
"Hahaha... That's right, it seems Gu Huaikun really did raise a good daughter, at least to me, don't you think, little beauty?"
Cai Feng reached out and touched Ah Xin's face, smiling shamelessly. Ah Xin just gave a cold laugh.
"Tell me what actions you have planned to take against the Gu family? I don't want your grand scheme to turn out to be a complete disaster!"
"You underestimate me! After all, I've been in South Africa for decades, and I still have some wealth and influence!" Cai Feng sneered disdainfully. "In a few days it will be the Gu family's 160th anniversary celebration. I'm going to present the Gu family and Xiangcheng with a grand gift that day, one that the entire Chinese people will never forget!"
