Chapter 23: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (23)
Back in the room.
Wen Wan took a deep breath and held back her tears.
"Gu Quanliu and Xue are truly a pair. Even tigers don't eat their cubs. They're relatives, after all. How can they be so cruel?"
System: [When faced with enormous profits, family ties are worthless.]
...
Gu Quan is completely unable to cause any trouble and will pay the price for his actions. Gu Ci also returned to the Gu family under the spotlight, which shocked everyone.
After all, everyone thought Gu Ci was dead.
Gu Ci immediately held a press conference to explain his situation, and made no attempt to hide the fact that he had temporarily lost his sight, and that he would hold Gu Quan accountable to the end.
Furthermore, they apologized to the public and Gu's customers, and promised that Gu's would adhere to healthy development in the future and would not do anything that would harm the public.
[He's back, he's back! Gu Ci is back! The story has officially begun.]
Wen Yan: "..."
"Madam, Mr. Gu is back, and he wants to see you."
"Aci is back, I'm going to the company right away."
Before she even stepped out of the bedroom door, her legs went weak, and the nanny helped her up. "Madam, the master has really returned. Madam no longer needs to live in fear."
"Yes, Aci is finally back. I've finally waited for this."
Gu Ci was in his office listening to Assistant Chen and several other directors report on the company's recent affairs.
"During my absence, it was thanks to the directors that Gu Quan was prevented from succeeding."
"Mr. Gu, you're exaggerating. We've all worked hard alongside Mr. Gu, and we don't think much of Gu Quan. If Gu's Group were in his hands, it would only decline."
"It's good that President Gu is back safe and sound. He survived such a disaster and is sure to have good fortune in the future. The Gu family will definitely develop even better in the future."
Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang. Gu Ci couldn't see anyone and assumed it was an employee, so he frowned slightly.
No rules.
The next second, I was hugged tightly.
"Aci, is that you? You're finally back."
Gu Ci's body stiffened instantly.
Meanwhile, Assistant Chen gave a signal to the board members, who then discreetly left.
Mr. Gu and his wife must have a lot to say to each other.
"Aci, do you know how worried and scared I am? I'm so afraid I'll never see you again."
Gu Ci felt the breath hitting the side of her face, and the tears running down her neck were very clear.
She cried?
Because of myself?
“Everyone told me you were dead, but I didn’t believe it. I even dreamed about you, and you said you would come back, so I kept waiting.”
Gu Ci should have pulled the person away, but she felt a surge of intense emotions being expressed by this person in an instant. Unlike the somewhat distorted voice in the surveillance footage, the voice whispering in her ear sounded like a sob, as if the person had suffered some great injustice.
His body was still trembling slightly.
Does she really like herself that much?
Wen Wan: "My dear, my legs are weak! This is Gu Ci! The big shot who would break Qin Sisi's legs and throw her into a mental hospital!"
Wen Wan felt like she was holding a bomb.
The kind that could explode at any moment.
"Let me go first." Gu Ci's voice was very pleasant, like a high-quality cello. It was exactly the kind of voice she loved to use when writing to describe a domineering CEO with a beautiful voice: "Listen to that voice, I'm about to get pregnant."
Wen Wan slowly released Gu Ci.
Feeling the warmth of her body leaving, Gu Ci felt a little uncomfortable, but couldn't quite put her finger on why.
"Aci, your eyes."
Gu Ci felt a touch on the corner of his eye, as fleeting as a fluttering butterfly.
"Does it hurt? It must hurt a lot! What should I do? What should I do? I'm so sad."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face again.
Gu Ci: Is this woman made of water? Why is she crying again?
He was never saddened by his eyes, after all, it was a miracle that he had survived at that time. But he never expected that someone would be saddened by his eyes.
"The doctor said it's temporary blindness, but there's a chance of recovery."
That's wonderful.
The male lead can't be blind, otherwise how will he recognize the female lead? How will the plot develop?
"Don't worry, from now on I will be your eyes."
While Gu Ci was still blind, Wen Wan brazenly observed the appearance of Gu Ci, the male protagonist of the book.
As expected of the male lead, who the author devoted a lot of space to introducing, even with a terrible ending, he still has a lot of female fans.
Gu Ci's skin was a cool, pale white with a hint of coldness. He wore sunglasses on his high, straight nose. His lips were perfectly shaped but rather thin, giving him a slightly aloof air when he wasn't smiling.
Wen Wan swallowed unconsciously.
"So handsome, baby. Looks, physique, legs, charisma, I'm drooling."
"Tell me, was the original owner blind? She was tricked into marrying into a wealthy family and having such a perfect husband, so why did she have to go and seduce a gigolo?"
The system quickly stopped its host from having dangerous thoughts, saying, "Host, calm down. Aren't you afraid he'll break your legs?"
Wen Wan felt her legs go weak again.
Gu Ci, who was blind due to an eye injury, had become much more sensitive to hearing than before, and naturally heard the swallowing sound.
Are you hungry?
Wen Wan was slightly taken aback, wondering why Gu Ci asked such a question, but she still nodded. Then, remembering that the other person couldn't hear her, she softly hummed in agreement.
"Have lunch with me. I'll have Assistant Chen make the reservation."
"Okay, I really want to have dinner with Aci too. I'm so happy."
—
Assistant Chen quickly made a reservation at one of the private restaurants that President Gu frequented.
Assistant Chen, who was standing next to him, was about to hand the guide cane to President Gu. President Gu didn't like being touched by others, and after getting used to the guide cane, he no longer needed anyone to help him walk.
Before Gu Ci could even take the guide cane, his hand was taken by another hand.
soft.
This was the first thought that popped into Gu Ci's mind.
“Aci, from now on I will be your crutch, I will support you wherever you go.”
Gu Ci: "..."
Assistant Chen, with a smile on his face, walked beside her with his guide cane.
When they arrived at the private restaurant, the owner, a young man in his early twenties, greeted Gu Ci with, “Mr. Gu, you’ve finally arrived. I knew you were tough as nails; how could you have died so easily?”
"This is?"
Gu Ci: "This is Qin Qin, the owner of this restaurant. You can ask him for food if you want to eat here in the future."
"Hello, Brother Qin, I am Qin Sisi, Aci's wife."
"Hello, hello, it's you, sister-in-law! Here's my phone number. Just call me if you want anything to eat, and I'll have someone deliver it to you." He handed Wen Wan a business card.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qin."
Gu Ci frowned. "Let's go eat first."
Wen Wan quickly and carefully helped Gu Ci to his seat, and then sat down next to him.
Looking at the table full of delicious-looking dishes in front of her, Wen Wan instinctively swallowed.
Gu Ci's lips curled up slightly; he was indeed hungry.
Qin Qin sat opposite her and said, "Sister-in-law, quickly try my cooking."
Wen Wan nodded, then looked at Gu Ci beside her, "Aci, what would you like to eat? We have braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and jade dumplings..."
"It will be all right."
Wen Wan quickly picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and held it to Gu Ci's lips, "This is braised pork ribs."
Assistant Chen, who was about to pick up chopsticks to serve food to President Gu, put down his chopsticks and stood obediently to the side.
With his wife around, why would he be needed?
