Chapter 43: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (43)
Seeing Wen Wan arrive at the Gu family's residential compound, Gu Ci said, "Tell the security guard to let Wen Wan in."
Wen Wan didn't doubt why she was able to enter, because she had lived here for a long time and had never been stopped by security guards. Soon, Wen Wan arrived at the entrance of the Gu family villa.
"I can't see anything here either?" Wen Wan stood on tiptoe, but couldn't see anything. After thinking for a while, she was still worried about the child, so she went up and knocked on the door.
The nanny opened the door. "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm a teacher at Sunshine International Primary School. I'm here to ask if Gu Jiao and Gu Xuan, who haven't been to school for two days, are sick?" Wen Wan made up an identity.
Nanny: "Oh, it's a teacher! Miss and young master are not sick, they just took leave to go to the hospital for a check-up, they are both very healthy."
The nanny had barely finished speaking when she saw her husband standing at the door, so she quickly said, "Sir, this is a teacher from Sunshine International, here to check on Miss and Young Master."
Wen Wan froze completely.
Shouldn't Gu Ci be at the company? Why did he suddenly come home?
"Xuanxuan and Jiaojiao's teacher? Then please come in and have a seat, teacher. Please pour a cup of tea for the teacher."
Wen Wan lowered her voice and declined, "Since the student is alright, then... then I'll be going now, no need to trouble you."
Wen Wan was panicked. She was glad that she had worn a mask and hat when she went out, otherwise she might have gone crazy on the spot.
"Teacher, you've come all this way, please have some water first. I'll have Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan come down, so you can feel at ease."
Wen Yan: "..."
"What do I do, you bastard? I'm about to be exposed!!!"
System: [Wishing you peace.]
"No...no, no need, I...I have something to do, so I'll go first."
As she turned to leave, Gu Ci blocked her at the door. "It won't make a difference if it's just a cup of tea, will it? I was just worried that the teacher would worry about the child."
Wen Wan could only enter the villa restlessly and then sit opposite Gu Ci.
"Isn't the teacher hot?"
Wen Wan pulled her mask down a little. "I have a cold, and I'm afraid of infecting you."
"The teacher is really dedicated."
The nanny quickly brought over some water, which Wen Wan took but didn't dare drink. "I have things to do. School is really... really busy. I should go back first."
Wen Wan's eyes were almost red with anxiety. If she were exposed, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had eight mouths.
"I've met Jiaojiao's teacher before, but I don't think I've seen you before?"
Wen Wan: "I'm from the class next door. Their teacher asked me to come and help... take a look."
"I see, thank you for your trouble, teacher."
Just then, Jiaojiao and Xuanxuan were brought down by the nanny. Gu Ci waved and said, "Jiaojiao, your teacher has come to see you. Call her teacher."
Jiaojiao: "Hello, teacher."
Xuanxuan looked at Wen Wan and said, "I've never seen this teacher at school."
Wen Wan felt her heart leap into her throat.
"There are many teachers at the school. I just started teaching here recently, so it's normal that I don't know them yet."
"Have you ever been to Mingxue Building, teacher? There are the most teachers there."
"I...I've been there."
Gu Xuan: "You're lying. Our school doesn't have a Mingxue Building, only a Mingzhi Building."
Wen Wan felt her palms were sweaty. "Then...then I might...remember wrong. I just came to the school, and there are many places I'm not very familiar with."
Wen Wan became more and more guilty as she spoke. How could someone so young be so clever? Is this the inheritance of a second-generation domineering CEO?
Gu Ci coughed twice. "Xuanxuan, don't be rude to your teacher."
Gu Xuan: "Dad, I was wrong."
"That's right, you're not wrong, it's my fault for not remembering clearly."
Gu Xuan looked at the teacher in front of him suspiciously, then sat down next to Gu Ci, while Xiao Gu Jiao sat next to Wen Wan, very close to her, so close that Wen Wan could even smell the sweet scent on Xiao Jiao Jiao.
Wen Wan really wanted to hold Xiao Gu Jiao in her arms, but she couldn't.
"The teacher smells so good, just like my mom."
Xiao Jiaojiao suddenly leaned close to Wen Wan and took a breath, which made Wen Wan's whole body stiffen.
"They probably used the same perfume or laundry detergent. Now that I've seen the child, I'll be going. The school is really busy."
A child's sixth sense is terrifying!
Wen Wan quickly stood up. This time, Gu Ci didn't stop her. He watched Wen Wan leave with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
“It really does look like it,” Xiao Jiaojiao said. “Mom smells nice too, just like cotton candy.”
"Dad, I think this teacher is weird."
Gu Ci: "Remember to go to school on time tomorrow."
Xiao Gu Xuan frowned. "Dad, it was you who made us skip school for the sudden medical check-up. Didn't we just have one two months ago?"
"Really? Maybe I remembered it wrong."
Xiao Gu Xuan: "..."
On the other side, Wen Wan, who had almost fled in panic, was so weak that she could barely stand. She grabbed a lamppost for support. "I was so scared, I almost peed my pants."
I told you not to come, but you insisted.
"That's why I was worried. Now that I know they're doing well, I'm relieved."
—
Since she almost got caught last time, Wen Wan hasn't dared to show up at the two kids' school gate again.
The shoes Qingyun made for Madam Gu were gradually coming to fruition. Wen Wan was extremely excited when she saw them; each pair was exquisite and beautiful.
"With such a large batch of beautiful shoes every year, wouldn't you be able to open a store in five years? I'm so envious!"
She actually envied the body of the deceased Qin Sisi.
"The first batch of shoes for Mrs. Gu is ready. Go and deliver them to the Gu Group."
Wen Wan subconsciously waved her hand, "Can I not go?"
"Why?"
Wen Wan: "Isn't this embarrassing? My video has been seen all over the internet. How can I possibly go to Gu's again?"
Qingyun chuckled, "Alright, there's another reason I asked you to deliver the shoes. I wanted you to thank President Gu. Although you embarrassed yourself that day, he did save you after all. If it weren't for President Gu, who knows what terrible things might have happened. Kid, do you understand the importance of repaying kindness?"
Wen Yan: "..."
In the end, Wen Wan still went there with the shoebox, and then she bumped into Assistant Chen. Assistant Chen quickly came over and said, "Assistant Wen is here. President Gu is waiting for you in his office... for the shoes you brought."
Wen Wan: Can you please stop panting when you speak?
"How about I don't go up? Could you give these shoes to me?"
Assistant Chen: "That won't do. President Gu checks every pair of shoes every time, and he'll give you some feedback if they're not suitable. You have to listen to him."
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan knocked on the door, carrying her shoes.
"Come in."
Wen Wan entered the office and put down the shoebox. "President Gu, these are shoes that Teacher Qingyun asked me to deliver. Also, thank you for your help last time."
"sit."
Wen Wan: Hurry up and check, I need to slip away.
Now that she saw Gu Ci, she felt incredibly guilty.
Gu Ci opened the shoeboxes one by one, then took out the shoes and examined them carefully, his serious expression as if they were not shoes, but a priceless ancient painting.
Wen Wan couldn't help but swallow again as her slender, bony fingers gently rubbed the embroidered patterns on the shoes.
Gu Ci paused for a moment, then continued checking, slowing down slightly.
