At this very moment, at the main gate of Institute X.
Gu Yujin appeared with a sour expression, while Zhao Lan smiled when she saw her son.
"Yujin!"
Gu Yujin's tone wasn't that agitated:
"Mom, what brings you here?" Her voice was thin and even had a hint of accusation.
Immediately, the smile on Zhao Lan's face froze and then disappeared.
Zhao Lan only had one child, Gu Yujin, whom she had always doted on. Being treated so coldly by such a pampered child felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over her heart.
When he spoke again, he was much calmer by choice:
"Yujin, come here."
Gu Yujin frowned slightly, but still followed Zhao Lan to the car.
At this moment, Zhao Lan bent down, took a briefcase from the back seat of the car, and handed it to Gu Yujin:
"Take it."
"What is that?"
Having trained with the guards for so long, Gu Yujin was naturally wary. Even though the other party was her biological mother, she didn't reach out to take her hand without knowing the situation.
Seeing her son's wariness, Zhao Lan's eyes reddened. In this life, Zhao Lan had only ever truly suffered setbacks with her biological son, Gu Yujin, and with the man she loved most, Gu Beiwang.
"This is what I've prepared for you over the years: a villa in the capital, a three-bedroom apartment, several shops, and a shareholding agreement for a shopping mall. Could it be something dangerous?"
Gu Yujin was still a little uncomfortable; after all, she was her biological mother. She coughed slightly.
"I don't need it, you can keep it yourself," he said.
However, Zhao Lan directly refused:
“Take this. All the names are yours. No matter who wants it, you must not give it away. This is your future betrothal gift prepared by your mother.”
after?
Gu Yujin isn't stupid; none of the Gu family members are truly stupid.
He immediately grasped the key point in Zhao Lan's words, and naturally, he also thought of certain aspects. His gaze towards his biological mother was no longer so cold and distant.
"Did something happen to you?" he asked.
I could detect a hint of worry in his tone.
If something hadn't happened, why would they have handed these things over to me so early?
Moreover, despite Zhao Lan just mentioning several items, as far as Gu Yujin knows, his mother's net worth is far more than that, not even a tenth of that.
But now she says it's a betrothal gift she's preparing for her future, which can be understood as the only substantial thing Zhao Lan can give her son!
Zhao Lan was surprised that her son, whom she thought only ever messed around outside, was so perceptive and had guessed the truth so quickly. She felt a sense of relief on her face, but more than that, she felt bitter.
The next moment, she forced a smile: "What could possibly be wrong? Don't overthink it. These things were originally prepared for you. Before, you were still young, so your mother kept them for you. Now, you're almost twenty years old and have long since become an adult. These things should be handed over to you to manage yourself. Here you go."
Gu Yujin paused for a moment, then finally reached out and took it. She knew her mother well; if it was something her mother didn't want to talk about, there was no way to get it out of her.
It would be better not to pressure her now, and to secretly investigate later.
Seeing her son's subordinates, Zhao Lan finally smiled again and reached out to touch Gu Yujin's face:
“You’ve grown up and lost a lot of weight, but you look more energetic than before. Since you like being here, Mom won’t interfere anymore. Anyway, your grandpa and dad are here to look after you.”
