Chapter 125 - Seducing Feng Jia

Gu Chu said that, but after staring at her phone for a while, she still couldn’t resist her curiosity and pounced on the bed to send a message to him.

She called him all kinds of sweet things like “baby”, “dear”, “darling”, but Feng Jia didn’t respond.

Gu Chu even sent a selfie, trying to seduce him into telling her, but he did not respond until she was so sleepy that she crawled into bed.

Ha, what a short-tempered bastard.

Gu Chu cursed and fell asleep.

Feng Jia had been absent from work for a day, just finished working overtime. He came out of the study and went downstairs to get some water.

As he drank, he opened Wechat and saw that Gu Chu had sent more than a dozen messages.

The more he read, the more he found it funny.

There were only two occasions when she would sweet-talk him. One was when they were in bed and she couldn’t bear it anymore, so she begged for mercy. The other was when she had done something wrong, or when she had something to ask for.

Feng Jia clicked open Gu Chu’s selfie. She was lying on the bed with her collar open, revealing a lot of skin. Her delicate collarbone and two balls of flesh were exposed.

He admired it for a while before he saved it.

Finally, he locked the screen. After drinking some water, he went upstairs.

He did not even take two steps before he switched on his phone again. He gave in to her beauty and told her the story.

Now that she was in the Gu family, it was inevitable that she would provoke Gu Wan. If they quarreled again, she would have these things to hold over her, so she would have more confidence.

The next morning, when Gu Chu woke up, she read the story.

Feng Jia’s story-telling was naturally not as vivid as hers. He said bluntly that Gu Wan and Shen Shan might be lovers. Gu Wan probably did not order him to attack her, but there was something fishy about the death of her adoptive parents. She might have ordered Shen Shan to injure them.

Gu Chu thought he was a good man.

Then, she was shocked. He had revealed such a big secret?

Gu Wan lied and spread rumors. Now, she was even involved in the death of her adoptive parents?

She brushed her teeth as she thought about how to deal with this matter.

Should she investigate it herself, tell her parents, or call the police directly?

Now that Gu Wan was also a member of the Gu family, her every move was tied to the Gu Corporation. If she were to act rashly, it might affect the stock price of the Gu Corporation.

Therefore, she had to think twice before acting.

Gu Chu still couldn’t think of a plan by the time she was applying lotion, so she decided to put it aside for now.

She had better make up with her mother first, then go back and discuss with Feng Jia.

Gu Chu pulled open the curtains. The weather was good today.

She picked up the painting and walked downstairs quietly.

At this moment, her parents did not know that Gu Chu had come back last night. The two of them were having breakfast in the dining room.

They were sitting facing away from Gu Chu, so they could not see her. She tiptoed over, intending to surprise them.

Mrs. Gu took a sip of milk and suddenly said, “Have you thought about what I told you?”

Mr. Gu paused and asked, “You talk to me about so many things every day. Which one exactly do you mean?”

Mrs. Gu sneered, “You know which one I’m talking about.”

Gu Chu stopped in her tracks and hid. She was a little curious. Which one was it?

Mr. Gu did not speak. He ate his breakfast quietly and tried to ignore the matter with silence as usual.

However, Mrs. Gu did not want to drag it out any longer, she said immediately, “Gu Wan has suffered so much outside. When she came back, she did not fight for anything. The only thing she wanted was this. As parents, can’t we help her?”

Mr. Gu sighed deeply. “This isn’t something that we can help her even if we want to. It also depends on Feng Jia’s intentions.”

“You’ve tested the Feng family’s attitude that night. He clearly only likes Gu Chu. Feng Jia has also said that even if Mrs. Feng agrees to it, it has nothing to do with him. Now that things have come to this, what do you plan to do?”

Behind the wall, Gu Chu’s heart sank. It turned out that they had not given up on changing the engagement.

Ever since Feng Jia had expressed his stance in front of everyone in the old residence, she had thought that they had given up. She did not expect her mother to insist on it.

Gu Chu tightened her grip on the painting in her arms. She was upset. She then heard her mother speak sarcastically, “Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to talk about feelings with a businessman?”

She then said matter-of-factly, “Feng Jia chose Gu Chu because we haven’t explained the stakes clearly. When we do, he will definitely choose Gu Wan.”

“The Feng family signed the marriage agreement with the Gu family because they like our position in Haicheng City, right? What does it have to do with the love between a man and a woman?”

At this point, Mrs. Gu sneered again. “If he really liked Gu Chu, he wouldn’t have signed the Haiyang Project to Gu Wan last time.”
