Chapter 53: Haitang's Fake Daughter
Gu Qian frowned and raised his arm to grab Yuan Qiu's neck.
Yuan Qiu was forced to step back, leaning against the railing at the back, his upper body hanging in the air. His face instantly turned red, and he reached out to pry Gu Qian's hand away.
"Ahem."
Gu Qian narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't try to provoke me again, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can do anything." After saying that, he shook her off and turned around to walk away.
Yuan Qiu took deep breaths quickly, bent over and patted his chest, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at Gu Qian's back.
"What can you do to me? You've already forbidden me from having the last name Gu, and you refuse to acknowledge me as your biological sister. Besides that so-called face, what else do you have? You love Gu Wan, don't you even know it? Gu Qian, you'll regret this, but you're also right, I'm not Gu Wan, so of course you won't let me go easily."
Every word she spoke pierced Gu Qian's heart.
Gu Qian didn't look back and went straight back to his room.
Yuan Qiu looked at the empty hallway, squatted down, and suddenly burst into tears. Why? Why was she given such a false hope? This dream home of hers had no family, no one to love her. She would never be able to live the life of an ordinary person.
Gu Qian sat silently in front of the desk. He fell in love with Gu Wan, he didn't know when it started, but she killed her parents, her biological parents, so their family could never be reunited.
He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
The next day, Gu Wan went downstairs to have breakfast, and as expected, she didn't see anyone. Neither Gu Qian nor Yuan Qiu were there.
She peeled the egg in her hand and thought carefully. Gu Qian was no longer trying to escape, and Yuan Qiu was heartbroken last night. The plot was developing very well.
Yu Shang had just returned from a business trip. He met someone who wanted to harm him while he was away. He was not killed, but he was cut on the arm and had to get more than a dozen stitches. Without any investigation, he knew that it was done by those illegitimate children. A family like theirs is rotten from the inside out.
But the old man is not stupid. Only by choosing the most capable people to manage the company can the Yu family go long-term. But he also doesn't care about the behavior of those illegitimate children.
The psychiatrist told himself that he needed medicine to cure him as soon as possible, but the medicine didn't want to see him and was even very resistant.
Yu Shang had been making plans since the day Gu Qian hung up the phone on him. He must be about to fly abroad now.
Gu Qian is currently working on opening up the Western European market, and this project is very important to him.
"Book the nearest flight."
Lin Sheng also knew the impact of this project on the company, and said seriously, "Okay, Mr. Gu, is there anything I need to pack?"
Gu Qian raised his wrist to check the time, "No." Then he looked at the teacup next to him and said, "Take the tea with you."
Mr. Lin knew what his boss was talking about and that the time of his visit was uncertain.
"I asked Miss Gu for some last time. She prepared a lot."
Gu Qian thought of what she said last night, that she liked him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. When he came back after finishing his work, he would tell her everything he wanted to say.
"Okay, take them all."
Gu Wan was watering flowers in the yard when she received a call from Gu Qian.
"Brother, is there something wrong?" Gu Qian was at the airport and had already heard the announcement from inside.
Gu Qian took advantage of this opportunity to calm down and said, "Well, there are some problems with the Western European project. You stay home and be obedient. I will be back after I solve the problem."
Gu Wan listened to his tone and remembered what he said last night, "Okay, I'll wait for my brother to come back."
Gu Qian hung up the phone and waited for him to come back.
Gu Wan raised her eyebrows, fortunately she added the full amount.
Yuan Qiu saw Yu Shang at the school gate.
The assistant got down and stood in front of Yuan Qiu. "Our President Yu has something to ask you to do him a favor and have a meal."
Yuan Qiu pointed at himself and asked, "Are you sure it's me?"
There is no intersection between them.
The assistant nodded.
A very stylish restaurant.
Yuan Qiu is rich and has been to many high-end restaurants like this in recent days, but he has never been to this one.
After ordering, the two sat facing each other.
Yuan Qiu looked at Yu Shang carefully again. He was elegant, refined and gentle. He was the complete opposite of Gu Qian.
"Boss Yu wants to see me today."
Yu Shang was looking at Yuan Qiu. It seemed that she had grown up quite fast in these few days, at least compared to when he first met her.
"Yes, I want to ask Miss Yuan for help. I know some things about the Gu family. Miss Yuan is Mr. Gu's biological sister."
Yuan Qiu looked at him, "So? What does Mr. Yu want to do? He wants to pursue someone else."
Yu Shang chuckled. "Although I, Yu Mou, am a businessman, I also know that love is hard to come by. I also want to do Miss Yuan a favor. Please help me ask Gu Wan out. I promise that she will not disturb Miss Yuan's life again. How do you think?"
There was some shock in Yuan Qiu's eyes. She suddenly realized that maybe Yu Shang was not the same as he seemed.
"What are you talking about? How can you promise not to disturb my life?"
She was very moved. It would be such a good thing if Gu Wan no longer appeared in her life.
Yu Shang handed over a card. "Without the password, I will lock Gu Wan up. She will live forever in the house I built for her, staying with me forever. You will certainly never see her again."
Yuan Qiu pinched the palm of his hand with his fingernails.
"I'll think about it."
Yu Shang knew the skills of negotiation and knew that Yuan Qiu would agree to his request in the end.
"Mr. Gu has been transferred to Western Europe due to project issues and may not be in China in the near future."
For the first time, Yuan Qiu felt that her little tricks and schemes were not worthy of being mentioned in public. The person in front of her was far more resourceful than she had imagined.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
After the meal, Yuan Qiu was personally sent home by Yu Shang.
Gu Wan had just come out of the piano room after practicing when she ran into Yuan Qiu who had returned.
Yuan Qiu didn't know if it was because he was guilty, but he avoided Gu Wan's eyes when he saw her.
Gu Wan passed by her and smelled a hint of alcohol on her. This wine was not right. Yuan Qiu had not yet become a person who knew how to enjoy life. She didn't know what kind of wine this was. It seemed that someone had treated her to a banquet. Seeing that she felt so guilty, it was not difficult to guess who it was. It could only be Yu Shang. He had not made any movement these days. There must be something wrong. Gu Qian's sudden business trip abroad must also be the work of Yu Shang.
"My brother went on a business trip abroad and called me today."
Yuan Qiu thought about Yu Shang's words, and sure enough, he didn't lie.
"I'm going back to my room first."
Gu Wan stretched out her arms. It was reasonable for Yu Chan to go to such great lengths to get her. After all, she knew his preferences very well and had made attempts on his part so many times.
Yuan Qiu tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. At around five in the morning, he sent a text message to Yu Shang, saying that he agreed.
Gu Wan got up in the morning to breathe some fresh air, then went downstairs to eat.
Yuan Qiu put on makeup to hide the fatigue on her face and sat opposite Gu Wan.
"Let's go shopping together today."
Gu Wan took a sip of milk and said without even looking up, "No."
Yuan Qiu knew she wouldn't agree right away. "You have such good taste. Please help me find some clothes. I'm begging you. We're going to live together in this house from now on. Is this how we're going to live? I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Gu Wan listened to this and said like a human being, "Okay then, I'll do it reluctantly."
Yuan Qiu was a little absent-minded. Just this once, she could send Gu Wan away.
After dinner, Gu Wan went upstairs to change clothes and put the poison into the air cushion in her bag. She was afraid that she didn’t know when she would be able to come back this time.
Auntie arranged a car and asked the driver to take them away.
Gu Wan is almost a VIP customer of these brands. When she enters the store, she will be served by a shopping guide responsible for her.
Yuan Qiu was trying on a skirt, and Gu Wan picked it up and wrapped it.
"You try it first, I'll go touch up my makeup."
After saying that, he went to the bathroom.
Then when she woke up, what caught her eye was the ceiling with a crystal chandelier hanging from it and a very soft bed.
Yu Shang has been waiting for her to wake up.
Gu Wan was in disbelief when she saw him. "Why, why is it you?"
Yu Shang saw the surprise in her eyes and walked over to her side. "Wanwan, I said I would get you. I never break my promise."
Gu Wan lifted the quilt and prepared to leave. She was very angry.
But I couldn't even open the door.
Yu Shang smiled and took off his glasses. "Wanwan, don't you find this room familiar? I built it based on the one you had at Gu's. I've filled it with all the clothes and bags you like."
Gu Wan leaned against the door, her eyes reddening, "Yu Shang, what did I do wrong that you have to treat me like this?"
Yu Shang loosened his tie, walked up to her, and looked down at her. "You did nothing wrong, Wanwan. It's me who really wants to have you. I really like you."
Gu Wan pushed him away and kept a safe distance from her.
Yu Chan looked at her defensiveness towards him and said, "Don't worry, I won't touch you until you agree." He first dealt with those illegitimate children today, and then tied her up. She was still injured and a little tired.
"Wanwan, good night."
After saying that, he used his fingerprint to unlock the door and went out, but the door was locked again.
After he left, Gu Wan sat on the bed with her legs hugged, observing whether there was any surveillance in the room. At present, there seemed to be none.
Yuan Qiu returned home and looked at the empty villa. Gu Wan would never come back.
Auntie was preparing lunch. "Miss Yuan, isn't Miss Gu coming back for lunch?"
Yuan Qiu hummed, "Gu Wan went abroad with her brother and left in a hurry."
Although the aunt felt a little strange, she didn't ask any more questions because her husband had indeed gone abroad today.
Yuan Qiu locked herself in the room and thought about Gu Wan until night.
After making sure there was no surveillance, Gu Wan went to the bathroom. Her bag was placed aside without any damage, and the items inside were all there.
She first removed her makeup, took out the poison from the cushion, and tidied herself up. She hadn't eaten all day and was actually very hungry, but she couldn't call for help, otherwise it would not be in line with the mentality of a kidnapped person.
Early in the morning, Yu Shang knocked on the door and came in, holding a bowl of steaming and fragrant egg noodles.
Gu Wan still looked at her warily, pursing her lips and frowning.
Yu Shang put the food on the table.
"You didn't eat the whole day yesterday, so you must be very hungry. Eat." He smiled gently, just as he did in front of everyone.
Gu Wan looked at him and still didn't say anything, but her stomach growled.
Yu Shang chuckled softly, "If you want to fight me, you have to fill your stomach first."
Gu Wan sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Although she ate quickly, she still looked pretty good.
Yu Chan just sat on the sofa beside her and looked at her. Knowing that Gu Wan was sleeping next to him last night, he didn't have a nightmare for the first time.
Gu Wan finished the whole bowl of noodles and took a sip of the soup at the end.
Yu Shang looked at her and said, "Let's talk it over."
Gu Wan nodded.
Yu Shang found it a pleasant thing to see her as soon as he opened his eyes. He knew that if he imprisoned Gu Wan rudely, she would only run away more.
She was raised in a flowerpot in the greenhouse by Gu's parents. Her mind was full of justice and morality, and she was full of kindness. It was not difficult to win her over and make her love only him wholeheartedly.
So he decided to change his approach. If he only wanted to get her body before, now he wanted to get her heart. He thought that by then, their body and mind would be unified.
"I'm sorry, first of all I used a wrong way to get you here." He said with an apologetic look on his face.
Gu Wan lowered her head and twirled her fingers, "Then are you going to let me go?" Her tone softened.
Yu Shang did not answer this question, but reached out to the bodyguard at the door to bring in a document.
"You can take a look, Wanwan, I really hope you can give me a chance to reform."
When Gu Wan saw the file bag, she remembered the last time he threw the sponsorship agreement to her, and she looked at him with a frown.
Yu Shang also understood, and with another apologetic look, he reached out and took it himself, opening it. "It's definitely different from last time. Last time, I was too eager to get you. I didn't know how to love someone."
Gu Wan reached out and took it. On it was a psychological firmness report.
"your?"
Yu Shang nodded, "Yes, I've been a doctor for ten years." He then chuckled, seemingly with some self-mockery, "The Yu family isn't as glamorous as you think. I'm exhausted."
He rolled up his shirt sleeves and calmly handed the wound to Gu Wan.
"Look, this is my half-brother who wanted to harm me and sent people to the hotel to kill me."
Gu Wan seemed a little frightened by his words, and there was sympathy for him in her eyes.
"Then tell Uncle Yu, he will definitely help you."
Yu Chan shook his head. "Wanwan, our family is not like yours. My father doesn't care. All he wants is for the Yu family to prosper. My safety has nothing to do with him." His tone was filled with frustration and sadness.
Gu Wan put the report in her hand on the table and said, "But Mr. Yu, I can't help you."
Yu Chan's eyes were filled with tenderness. "No, Wanwan, you can do this. I like you and I need you. Can you stay with me for a while? If you still don't like me in the end, I will let you go and leave me forever. Give me a chance, okay?"
Gu Wan's little face was full of confusion and hesitation.
Yu Chan stood up and said, "I know. Even Wanwan thinks I'm hopeless, right?" The wound on his arm didn't seem to be bandaged well and was bleeding, which looked very scary.
"Your wound is bleeding and needs to be rebandaged."
Gu Wan walked to his side anxiously.
Yu Shang was a little dejected. "It's okay. No one will die."
"Okay, I promise you, bandage the wound first."
Gu Wan seemed to be very worried about his wound.
Yu Shang laughed, a laugh that came from the heart.
"You promised, don't regret it."
Gu Wan nodded, "Yes, I won't regret it."
Yu Shang took her out to the living room and asked her aunt to bring the medicine box over.
"Come and help me change the gauze."
Gu Wan opened the cloth wrapped around the wound. The wound was very deep and had been stitched. She just needed to change the gauze.
"Stop moving your arm around."
Yu Shang obediently agreed and prepared to go to the company.
Gu Wan returned to the room, smiled helplessly and shook her head. As expected, the lie story was a mixture of truth and lies, with a tragic childhood experience, a bad family environment, and a pathological self.
These things combined are enough to deceive people. A little girl who has never experienced hardship is overly compassionate.
Yu Chan was sitting in the car, feeling really good, but that was not enough. He needed to keep increasing the stakes to make Gu Wan truly fall in love with him.
Gu Wan stayed in the villa obediently, and the aunts hardly spoke.
A week later.
Yu Shang returned home at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Wan was planting flowers in the yard. She had noticed that the yard was rather desolate with nothing planted there. After asking her aunt, she learned that Yu Shang didn't like having flowers or plants there.
So she went to ask Yu Shang, and she wanted to plant flowers, so that she would feel better when she saw them. Of course, Yu Shang agreed.
As soon as Yu Shang got out of the car, he saw Gu Wan busy in the yard, with mud on her hands, face and clothes.
"Why don't you let them come and help?"
Gu Wan had her hair tied into a bun today, and wore a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with a pair of white and straight legs.
"I can, and it means something different if I deliver it myself." Then she looked at him again, "Why did you get off work so early today?"
Yu Shang thought about his plans for today, "I'm going home for dinner today, and I want to take you with me."
Gu Wan was a little surprised. "Your family is having dinner together. Would it be inappropriate for me to go over?"
Yu Shang wiped the mud off her face with his hand. "It's nothing good or bad. My dad knew I was trying to date you. He likes you very much."
Gu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, I'll go change my clothes and put on some makeup."
Yu Shang nodded.
Gu Wan trotted upstairs in her slippers.
Yu Shang looked at the planned earth pits and the pulled water pipes in the yard. It was a mess and there was no sign that flowers could grow there. But he still felt very happy. He hadn't been so happy in many years. His decision was right. He didn't just take her for granted because of a momentary greed.
Maybe someone will love this disgusting scene of mine.
Gu Wan returned to the room and took a quick look. She chose a pair of trousers and a striped sweater with a short sleeve and a po-neck, which was quite slim-fitting. She let her hair down, looking more mature and gentle, and then changed into shoes.
Yu Shang sat down in the living room and waited for her. When she came down, he looked her up and down with satisfaction.
"So fast, it looks great today too."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand.
Gu Wan thought about it for a moment but decided not to shake hands. She changed the subject and said, "Let's go."
Yu Shang wasn't too disappointed. If he waited a little longer, wouldn't he be making rapid progress now? Gu Wan would eventually be his.
"Don't be nervous, there are quite a lot of people eating today."
When the two arrived at the Yu family's old house, Gu Wan took a deep breath.
Yu Shang could see that she was still very nervous. "You are not my girlfriend today, so no one will make things difficult for you."
Gu Wan took his arm and turned to look at him when she heard his words. "Why, does it make things difficult for someone just because she's your girlfriend?"
Yu Shang smiled but said nothing.
When the two arrived, the living room of the old house was almost full of people.
When these people saw Gu Wan and Yu Shang, they all quieted down.
Yu Shang never took them seriously because he was the new generation of the Yu family's leader. As long as the old man died, he would get rid of all these people.
But they don't think so. As long as the old man is alive, they will not look down on Yu Shang. He is just a tool for the Yu family to make money.
Yu Shang noticed Gu Wan's nervousness, patted her hand with his other hand, and took Gu Wan to Old Man Yu.
"Dad, I brought Gu Wan here today."
The original owner had seen him before.
Both the Gu and Yu families had originally intended for them to get married.
But each has different plans.
The Gu couple are attracted to Yu Shang as a person, while Old Man Yu is attracted to the benefits that Gu Wan can bring to the Gu family.
"Wanwan is here. It's been a while since she came to see me."
Gu Wan smiled and called out, "Hello, Uncle Yu."
The Gu family’s affairs are private matters. No one will know unless they deliberately investigate.
Mr. Yu is not young anymore, and he only had Yu Shang when he was in his forties.
Yu Shang has older brothers and sisters above him, younger brothers and sisters below him, as well as aunts and uncles who want to get a piece of the pie from the Yu family.
After greeting each other, Mr. Yu called Yu Shang into the study.
Gu Wan stayed in the living room alone and no one came to pay attention to her. She knew the reason why Yu Shang asked her to come over. Seeing the mess in the Yu family and how he had been suffering, she wanted to feel pity and sympathy for him, but unfortunately her heart was as hard as a rock.
But half an hour later, Yu Shang came out of the study with an obvious wound on his forehead, as if it was caused by a piece of broken porcelain.
Gu Wan probably guessed that she should get angry and hit him with a teacup.
"Are you hurt? Are you okay?"
Yu Chan held Gu Wan's hand and said reluctantly, "It's okay."
Gu Wan frowned. "You're bleeding, how can you be alright? Uncle is too much. Doesn't he know what you've done for the Yu family? And you're injured, and the stitches on your arm haven't been removed yet."
Yu Shang deliberately quarreled with him today and made him attack her, otherwise how could Gu Wan see this scene.
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
Gu Wan gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Let's go, let's go now."
Yu Shang pulled her arm and said, "You can't leave now. According to the rules of the Yu family, you have to finish your meal no matter what."
Gu Wan looked at his wound, her eyes red with anxiety, "Does it really not hurt?"
Yu Shang looked at her anxious and distressed expression, and suddenly felt a little regretful. Did he act too much, making Gu Wan sad and heartbroken, and he was actually reluctant to let her go.
"It doesn't hurt, trust me." His tone was unconsciously still comforting her.
I don’t know who is deceiving whom in this play?
Gu Wan could sense what he meant.
The food and dishes have been placed on the table and everyone is seated.
Gu Wan sat on Yu Shang's right.
Yu Shang was next to Grandpa Yu.
As usual, Mr. Yu said a few words first, and then everyone started eating.
For a moment, the dinner table was very quiet.
Until a woman in her thirties spoke. She looked well-maintained and was wearing a cheongsam, which showed off her good figure. Her eyes were seductive and she looked very alluring.
"As the head of our Yu family, Ah Shang is too cruel to his brothers. Breaking their legs and arms, tsk tsk, how ruthless."
The author has something to say:
