"I want you and Jingchen to be happy together."
When Madam Gu spoke again, Su Ning was taken aback.
"What's wrong?" Chu Feng found it laughable that the Gu family was telling Su Ning not to keep her eyes on Gu Jingchen.
“Ningning is not good enough for Gu Jingchen, she can never enter the Gu family.”
These are Mr. Gu and Gu Ran's original words.
Madam Gu lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.
She knew that her husband and stepdaughter didn't want Su Ning to marry Gu Jingchen; if it were before, she wouldn't have wanted to either.
but……
Four years have passed, and she has watched her son become a completely different person. What else could she possibly be upset about?
"Su Ning, you won't believe me if I say this." Madam Gu raised her head again, looking at Su Ning with sorrowful eyes. The rest of her words were originally meant for Su Ning.
It's better to have Mu An'an and Chu Feng around than to have Su Ning hate Jing Chen.
“What happened four years ago cannot be blamed on Jingchen.”
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, "He couldn't answer your calls because his father locked him up."
This matter is kept secret within the Gu family.
Few people in high society knew about it, and it hadn't even reached the Mu family.
Those who know are Gu Ran and Lu Cheng from the Gu and Lu families. Even Lu Feng and the others dare not say, and there is also Fu Yunmo.
Four years ago, if Gu Jingchen hadn't been driven to the brink of collapse, he might not have told Lu Cheng and Fu Yunmo about it.
"Lock him up?"
"I don't know either," Mu An'an said, turning to look at Chu Feng. Chu Feng shook his head, also unsure.
They took care of Su Ning all these years, but they didn't investigate what that scumbag Gu Jingchen was doing. It wasn't until Su Ning was about to return that Su Ning asked Chu Feng to investigate matters concerning the Gu family and Gu Jingchen.
"Yes." Madam Gu nodded. "A few days before your car accident, his father locked him in a room."
"So that I won't let him be with me?"
Su Ning smiled bitterly, her lips pursed. "We had already broken up back then."
Gu Jingchen has already broken up with her, so what's the point of locking her up or not?
“Jingchen is very stubborn. If he likes someone, he will be loyal to the end. If he breaks up with you, it must be out of spite.”
"I don't know why you two broke up back then, but I believe he must have said it in anger."
Madam Gu understands her son well; otherwise, why would Gu Jingchen have been waiting for Su Ning all these years?
Because of guilt?
No, that's not true, because he loved her from beginning to end.
"He was being held captive when you called."
As Madam Gu finished speaking, a mocking smile crept onto her lips. "I'm just like them; I don't accept you as my daughter-in-law."
"It's not just that your family background isn't as good as Gu Jia's, it's also because of your mother..."
At this point, Madam Gu paused and changed the subject, "So, they're going to lock Gu Jingchen up until he agrees not to see you again."
"How can feelings be forced?"
Chu Feng never expected the Gu family to be so ruthless, even locking up their own son for their own benefit.
"Yes," Madam Gu said in a calm voice, repeating, "Indeed, how can matters of the heart be forced?"
They wanted Gu Jingchen to give up Su Ning and to marry and have children in accordance with their wishes.
But Gu Jingchen is not a puppet; he is a living, breathing person!
"His phone isn't with him; he didn't answer your call."
“Miss Su, this really can’t be blamed on him.” Madam Gu said with tears in her eyes. She had been having nightmares every night for the past few days, thinking about Gu Jingchen who had been imprisoned four years ago.
The person first tried every method to resist, smashing things and going on a hunger strike. In a short period of time, the person became emaciated, like a withered tree.
