Mr. Lin?

Lin Yu?

Feng Jia’s eyebrows twitched. Did Lin Yu come back from the capital?

Gu Chu said she had something to do yesterday. Could it be that she was going to pick him up?

Gu Wan saw the change in his expression, she sighed with mixed emotions. “Mr. Lin and Chu Chu are childhood friends. Of course, it’s not a big deal to borrow a car. It’s just a coincidence. If not, Chu Chu might not have gotten into a car accident.”

Feng Jia looked at her expressionlessly.

She was talking about the car on the surface, but in reality she was telling him that Gu Chu and Lin Yu had a close relationship. They even met last night, and Lin Yu drove her home in Gu Chu’s car.

The main point was Gu Chu and Lin Yu’s relationship.

The lights in the courtyard were bright, illuminating Feng Jia’s frosty eye. “So, why are you telling me this?”

Gu Wan bit her lip. “I don’t mean anything…”

“Since you don’t mean anything, you don’t have to come all the way to tell me this.” Feng Jia unlocked the car keys. The car lights flashed, and his words were crisp and clear, “I’ve helped you once and you’ve already thanked me. We’re even, so you don’t have to be so concerned about me.”

Gu Wan’s face turned pale.

Then, she immediately understood the meaning behind his words.

Feng Jia got into the car and drove away.

Don’t be so concerned about me, which means don’t be interested in me.

He imitated her roundabout way of speaking, but he rejected her without any leeway. Or rather, he warned her not to have any feelings for him.

A man who was always in a high position was authoritative and never showed his emotions.

Gu Wan’s body trembled. In this late autumn, her back was actually covered in a layer of cold sweat.

“Gu Chu,” she muttered in a low voice, “You really don’t deserve it!”

She stood in the same spot for a long time, so long that a layer of cold air had condensed on her body. Only then did she return home with her walking stick.

Inside, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were talking. Mr. Gu lowered his voice and said, “Feng Jia came here for a reason. I don’t think you need me to tell you more, right?”

Mrs. Gu sat on the sofa. Her whole body was tense, and her fingers were trembling slightly.

“He came here to express his stance. He wants Gu Chu, even if we promised him 10% of the shares.”

“He and Chu Chu’s relationship is not like you said. He saw that Gu Chu was wronged, so he came to seek justice.”

“Why did he come to get the household registration booklet? Of course, it was to get the marriage certificate! He made it very clear last time. It was you who never gave up, so he simply extinguished your hope!”

After being scolded by Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu suddenly looked up and sneered, “At least I’m doing something for my daughter. What about you? What did you do for your daughter?”

“What about me?” Mr. Gu retorted subconsciously, “What do I owe Gu Wan?”

Thus, the two of them started to argue endlessly.

Gu Wan just stood outside the door and watched coldly. Seeing that the Gu family was in a mess because of her, she felt inexplicably happy.

Go ahead and argue. It was a pity that Gu Chu was not here, otherwise, it would be even more fun!

When Feng Jia returned home, it was already night time, and his body was covered in a layer of cold dew.

He unlocked the gate and entered the door. He saw Gu Chu eating noodles at the dining table. He asked while changing his shoes, “You’re awake? Does your head still hurt?”

Gu Chu shook her head. After sleeping for a while, her body felt better. “It’s okay now. Where did you go?”

“To deal with your car.” Feng Jia poured himself a glass of water and then sat opposite her. “The car is sent to the mechanic. They will do a full check.”

Gu Chu was focused on eating, but Feng Jia suddenly said, “This car is not the one you drove this morning. I didn’t see your car in your garage either. Where did you park your car?”

Gu Chu didn’t have many cars. There were only two or three cars in total. One of them was bought a long time ago. After some time, she was tired of driving it.

The one she often drove was the one Feng Jia mentioned, the one that was nowhere to be seen. As for the other one, the one that got into the accident was the one with the alarm system installed.

Gu Chu was stunned at first, but then she suddenly thought of something. She carefully swallowed and said, “Might be in a mall.”

“Oh? Which mall?”

“Baihuo Mall.”

Feng Jia drank a few mouthfuls of water to moisten his throat. “It’s hard to move around without a car. I’ll get someone to drive the car over for you.”

Gu Chu: “…”

Feng Jia just looked at her. Although he was not instigated by Gu Wan, it did not mean that he would let Gu Chu off.
