Chapter 126: Mrs. Gu’s Hurtful Words
Mr. Gu frowned. “What’s at stake?”
Mrs. Gu had long decided to have a showdown this morning, so she did not allow the servants to enter the dining hall, and spoke without restraint.
“Feng Jia’s parents will be returning to the country soon, so will his second and third brother. All these years, they have been managing their company’s branch offices overseas, and they have done a decent job. In addition, they have always been by their parents’ side. Compared to Feng Jia, his parents are closer to his brothers, which is very disadvantageous to his position in the Feng family.”
“If he agrees to change the engagement, we will give him 10% of the shares of the Gu Corporation as Gu Wan’s dowry. With the support of the Gu Corporation’s shares, his position in the Feng Corporation will be unshakable. Even Mrs. Feng’s son, Feng Huai will not be a threat to him.”
“He is a smart man. He knows how to choose.”
Gu Chu took a step forward in a daze.
She really wanted to see the expression on her mother’s face when she said those words. Unfortunately, she could only see her back.
She actually wanted to give away the company’s shares?
% of the shares?
The Gu family was the largest shareholder of the Gu family, but they only held 70% of the shares. She gave away one-seventh of the shares. It was really a huge sum.
What about her? What should she do?
Did her mother consider her when she said this?
Gu Chu did not dare to hug the painting too tightly. She was afraid that it would damage the painting that she had obtained with great difficulty. Thus, gripped her own clothes.
It was not that she did not know that her mother was biased. However, this was happening over and over again. She really did not care about her anymore…
Gu Chu’s throat felt dry. Why? Was she not her daughter anymore?
She had never cried before, but this time, her eyes were red.
Mr. Gu asked Mrs. Gu, “Then have you considered Chu Chu’s feelings? After all, she is your daughter too. Aren’t you hurting her by doing this?”
There was a moment of silence in the dining hall.
After a long while, Mrs. Gu finally spoke. “I love Gu Chu too, but she didn’t take this marriage to heart in the first place. She even asked me if I could break off the engagement. She’s just with Feng Jia because of the engagement contract. Losing the engagement is like losing a bag to her. She’ll be fine after two or three days. She won’t feel bad for long.”
“Besides, she probably likes Lin Yu more, right? They were childhood sweethearts, and they have always been very close.”
Speaking of Lin Yu, Mrs. Gu straightened her back even more, and her tone became more confident.
“Sun Lin also likes her very much. More than once, she told me that if Chu Chu didn’t have an engagement with Feng Jia, she would definitely make her her daughter-in-law. Moreover, Gu Chu and Lin Yin have a good relationship. Both her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law like her very much. She will be very happy for the rest of her life.”
Yes, that was it.
The guilt that Mrs. Gu felt when she was questioned was instantly swept away, she became even more determined. “Gu Chu has the Lin family as a good choice, but Gu Wan has nothing left. If we don’t make plans for her, what else can she do? She’s our daughter!”
Mr. Gu was still a little hesitant. “Have you really thought it through? I think that Chu Chu has feelings for Feng Jia…”
Mrs. Gu interrupted him impatiently. “The moment I found Gu Wan, I had already made up my mind. I will do everything I can to make it up to her.”
She simply stood up, her tone was firm. “Gu Chu has already gotten too many things that don’t belong to her. Whether it’s us, Gu Wan, or even the entire Gu family, none of us owe her anything. On the contrary, all of us owe Gu Wan!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wan’s surprised voice suddenly rang out. “Chu Chu, when did you return home?”
Gu Wan stood behind Gu Chu for an unknown amount of time before she finally spoke up and exposed Gu Chu, who was hiding behind the wall.
Gu Chu? !
Mr. Gu was shocked and turned around abruptly. When he saw Gu Chu, he was a little shocked. “Chu Chu, when did you come back?”
Mrs. Gu turned around as well. Gu Chu finally saw her face clearly and asked in a low voice, “What do you mean by things that don’t belong to me?”
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips. She didn’t expect her to hear everything she said.
Since everything was out in the open, she might as well make it worse. She looked at Mrs. Gu and repeated the question, “Mom, what did you mean just now? What did I have that doesn’t belong to me? Or is it that you think that I caused Gu Wan to be lost back then, so you think that I’m a sinner and that I don’t deserve anything?”
