Chapter 76 Looking Back at the Old House
"I'm free tomorrow night."
"Okay, okay."
Mr. Gu was so happy.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Xiaoer came over.
"You have to go back to the old house tomorrow night."
"I haven't told Grandpa about this yet, but I will find a chance to tell him and let him accept it little by little."
Fu Xiaoer was very angry: "It's just Mr. Gu, otherwise, can you care so much?"
"Actually, I didn't care too much about it. I asked my lawyer to sue Gu Huaizhou, but Gu Huaizhou has always refused to appear in court."
"You scumbag, Grandpa treats you so well, maybe there's some kind of threat that won't let him divorce you, that's why he won't divorce you."
Shengxia also thought of this, but it was not easy to ask directly.
"Don't worry, I will think carefully tomorrow night and will never let myself suffer any loss."
"Can you come back tomorrow night?"
"Not sure yet."
Mr. Gu asked them to go back, probably because he wanted them to stay at home. After what happened before, Mr. Gu probably wanted to see if he could ease the situation between her and Gu Huaizhou.
With that incident as a foundation, I believe that if I talk to Mr. Gu about divorce again, he will agree.
The next day.
Shengxia was in the company and received a lot of things from Xiao Meng.
Shengxia took a look and asked, "Did Ms. Shumei send it?"
Xiao Meng gave her a thumbs up: "Boss Sheng, you are amazing. You can tell who sent it right away!
When she delivered it to you, she said she wouldn't come up, knowing you didn't want to see her, so she left and left."
Shengxia took a look at the items on it. They were all luxury brands, but most of them expired within a few months.
She picked up these things and walked out.
I took it to the trash can outside, threw it away, and recorded it with my phone.
"Ms. Shu Mei, I'm not kidding when I say I'm breaking off our relationship. I don't want your things. If you send them to me again, I'll just throw them here."
Once sent, it will be blocked immediately.
Just as I was about to arrive at the company, my cell phone rang. It was the same message from the unfamiliar number.
——Shengxia, do you really think I don’t know why you want to break up with your mother?
A chill crept up the spine from the sacrum and spread to every part of the body.
Shengxia was silent for a long time and did not reply to the message, but deleted it directly.
When she got off work, Shengxia walked out of the building and saw Gu Huaizhou again. She was about to walk around him, but someone blocked her way.
Chu Shiyuan looked at her with a smile and a flattering expression.
"Xia Xia, do you have time? I want to treat you to a meal."
Sheng Xia looked at him with an amused expression: "Mr. Chu, this is really strange. I have been in your house for so many years, and you have never thought of inviting me to dinner. Do you want to persuade me to reconcile with Ms. Shu Mei?"
"I know everything about your mother, and I scolded her severely. She only has you as a daughter, how could she treat you like this?
She really knows she was wrong. After doing those things, she has been crying at home and saying how much she regrets it. She even sent you a gift today and said she wanted to apologize to you, but you threw it away.
I feel really bad for her when I see her like that. She is your mother after all. Please make peace with her for my sake!"
Shengxia sneered. If she hadn't married Gu Huaizhou, would Chu Shiyuan look at her with such an expression?
She will never forget in her dreams that once there was a sports meeting in the school, the teacher said that she was pretty, good at studying, and was the benchmark of the class, so she asked her to hold the class sign in front, but asked her to wear a beautiful skirt.
When Shengxia went home and asked her mother for money to buy a skirt, Chu Shiyuan said, "What are you buying? Going out to seduce someone? She's too old to wear a skirt. Shumei, if I see you give her a penny, I'll deduct your pocket money for this month."
How could Ms. Shumei care about her daughter? Shumei only felt that since her ex-husband passed away, bringing her daughter to her was a burden.
I told her at the time, "You just keep conceited! I don't make money, so I think you should just wear your school uniform."
Her school uniform was something her brother Chu Jiming didn't want anymore, so she washed it over and over again.
During the time I lived in the Chu family, Ms. Shu Mei would often say, "Your father is a short-lived ghost! If he knew he didn't have long to live, he wouldn't have come to harm others. Instead, he would have left you, a burden, to me. You are really dragging me down to death."
She never received any maternal love from her mother.
"Mr. Chu, please don't waste your time on me. My relationship with her should have ended long ago. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Shengxia was about to leave, and Chu Shiyuan quickly grabbed her.
Shengxia felt a little disgusted and was about to shake him off when Gu Huaizhou ran over quickly.
"uncle."
Chu Shiyuan saw Gu Huaizhou and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Huaizhou, are you here to pick up Xia Xia from get off work?"
"Well, Xia Xia, come back to the old house with me for dinner tonight."
When Chu Shiyuan heard this, he thought the two of them had reconciled. "Okay, you can't be late for the family dinner. You guys should go back quickly. I'm fine too. We'll contact each other later."
Chu Shiyuan left first.
Gu Huaizhou looked at Shengxia, hesitant to speak, and finally just said: "Let's go."
Shengxia didn't want to waste time, but she didn't even look at him: "I'll go drive my car."
Gu Huaizhou continued her words: "Grandpa won't let us leave at night. Leave your car in the company's basement. I'll drive you back and bring you back tomorrow morning."
Shengxia acted as if she didn't hear it and drove her own car.
Gu Huaizhou looked at her figure and felt more and more that he could no longer control her.
The two of them arrived at the Gu family's old house one after the other.
Old Master Gu had been waiting there for a long time. He had heard that the two people had driven here separately, so he pretended to know nothing and welcomed Shengxia into the living room.
"Hurry up and sit down, let grandpa take a good look."
Shengxia noticed that Bai Yinyin came in wearing home clothes, which were a bit revealing.
Old Master Gu took a look and scolded, "Yinyin, what are you wearing? Haven't I told you many times that you can wear whatever you want in your circle or where you lived before, but it's definitely not allowed in the Gu family. Go back and change quickly."
Bai Yinyin's expression turned grim: "I understand, Grandpa."
Shengxia glanced at Bai Yinyin calmly. She seemed to be particularly afraid of Mr. Gu.
"Xia Xia, I know everything. Last time, Yin Yin said that there was a beautiful bracelet in your house and asked Huaizhou for it. I didn't expect it to be a relic left by your father. It was broken..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Gu felt very sad.
"Today, Grandpa took out the bracelet that your grandmother left for you. He was going to give it to you, but he never took it out."
Uncle Zheng, who usually follows Mr. Gu, brought over an exquisite box and handed it to Shengxia.
Old Master Gu opened the box and placed an old jade bracelet in front of Shengxia.
Shengxia knew that this was the Gu family's heirloom, so she quickly refused: "Grandpa, I can't have this."
"If you can't have her, who can? You're already Huaizhou's wife, and Huaizhou has promised me that he will keep his distance from Yinyin and live a good life with you.
Grandpa knows you can't forgive him yet, and I'm being too much by asking you to forgive him, but I really like you, so I'll accept you as my granddaughter-in-law."
Shengxia still had no intention of taking it: "Grandpa, although that incident caused an indelible scar in my heart, it is in the past. You really don't have to give this to me."
"I'm giving it to you not because your father's belongings were broken, but because I want to give it to you when you get married."
"I……"
Tang Wanqing smiled and said, "Dad, this heirloom will belong to Xia Xia sooner or later. Just keep it for her first, and it won't be too late to give it to her when she wants it."
Old Master Gu also realized that Shengxia would not agree if he forced her. If she said something irreversible, it would be a waste of time and effort.
"Okay, in that case, just leave it with me first. Grandpa will give it to you whenever you need it."
Shengxia nodded.
Old Master Gu said a lot to Gu Huaizhou in front of Shengxia, and Gu Huaizhou listened obediently.
When it was time to eat, Mr. Gu handed his hand to Shengxia: "Let's go and eat."
Shengxia took the initiative to support Mr. Gu.
Bai Yinyin rolled her eyes fiercely and said, Shengxia, if it weren’t for Grandpa Gu, you would never be able to enter this family in your life.
On the other side, at the Fu family's house, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Normally at this time, the three of them would sit together to eat. Today, Shengxia and Fu Xiaoer had not returned, and Fu Beicheng had been sitting there waiting for a long time.
When he saw Fu Xiaoer coming back alone, he subconsciously looked behind her.
