Chapter 28: Leave for a Week

The time for the wedding was getting closer and closer, but Gu Duo knew nothing about his wedding. He still left early and returned late every day to stay by Liu Feng’s side.

When Old Master Gu received the news from his informant, his eyes immediately darkened.

The day before the wedding, Old Master Gu especially went to meet Liu Feng and threw a sum of money in front of her.

“I want you to leave Jing City for a week. As long as the wedding between the Gu family and the Jiang family is completed, you can come back anytime.”

Liu Feng raised her eyebrows in surprise. This Old Master Gu had been brainwashed by Jiang Yue. He actually thought that she would take the opportunity to ruin the wedding.

However, it would be a waste not to take the money that was delivered to her door.

.

Moreover, the financial chain of Jiang Luan’s laboratory was tight right now, and they needed money to handle things. Liu Feng’s eyes flashed slightly as she looked straight at Old Master Gu.

“Is one week enough? Don’t you need me to wait for them to finish their honeymoon?”

“…”

Old Master Gu watched in disbelief as Liu Feng agreed so easily and took the money to leave. He could not recover from his shock for a moment.

He did not know whether to praise Liu Feng for being tactful or to scold her for not acknowledging his son. For the money, she did not even want his outstanding son?

Liu Feng did not care about Old Master Gu’s complicated thoughts. She quickly returned home, packed her clothes, and booked a plane ticket back to C City without hesitation.

Under Xue Yun’s tutelage, Liu Feng had also studied materials related to hypermnesia. She took this opportunity to return to C City and bring the materials to Jiang Luan to show her support for his project.

On the other side, Gu Duo dialed Liu Feng’s phone again, but there was still a notification that her phone was off.

What was going on?

Gu Duo frowned slightly and was about to call again when Old Master Gu’s call came in first.

“How much longer do you want to fool around outside?”

Old Master Gu came up and berated him. He ordered sternly, “There’s a dinner party at home today. Come back immediately!”

Gu Duo could not contact Liu Feng, so he could only temporarily give up. When he returned home, he saw Old Master Gu sitting in front of the table in a formal suit, with exquisite dishes in front of him.

Seeing Gu Duo return, Old Master Gu glanced at him coldly and cursed angrily.

“You’ve been away from home all day because of a woman! I think you’re blinded by lust!”

Gu Duo ignored him and sat down on his own. Old Master Gu seemed to have stopped scolding him and the two of them had a peaceful dinner together.

Just as Gu Duo was about to go upstairs to continue contacting Liu Feng, he heard Old Master Gu say domineeringly.

“Tomorrow, you’ll marry Jiang Yue. You should rest early.”

Gu Duo furrowed his brows and his expression darkened. “I told you, I will only marry Elder Miss Jiang.”

A strange glint flashed across Old Master Gu’s eyes. “This is not up to you.”

Gu Duo had yet to understand what he meant when a strange feeling suddenly surged up. His limbs were sore and weak, and he could only lean on the sofa. He stared at Old Master Gu in disbelief and gritted his teeth.

“You actually drugged the food?”

Old Master Gu curled his lips proudly. He immediately ordered the butler to bring someone to lock Gu Duo in the room and force him to change into a groom’s suit.

“Until the wedding is over, you will stay here obediently. You are not allowed to go anywhere!”

Gu Duo collapsed weakly on the bed. His long and narrow eyes were filled with pain and anger. He glared at Old Master Gu with bloodshot eyes. “You have ignored my wishes since I was young. Everything must be done according to your instructions!”

“I’m a human! I’m not your puppet!”

Old Master Gu was so angry that he knocked his cane angrily. “What do you mean? I’m doing this for your own good!”

Gu Duo sneered. His pitch-black eyes were filled with intense anger and coldness. “No, you’re doing this for your reputation!”

“For the sake of the Gu family’s reputation, you’re willing to ignore my feelings and force me to marry the Second Miss of the Jiang family. You’re only doing this because you dislike the Elder Miss’s background.”

“You’re doing this for yourself. You’re selfish. You’ve never considered my feelings!”

Old Master Gu’s face was pale. He pointed at Gu Duo and could not say a word. He could only say while panting, “No matter what you say, tomorrow’s marriage is a done deal!”

Old Master Gu walked out of the room with a pale face and sat on the sofa, panting.

The butler was nervous and asked quickly, “Old Master, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Old Master Gu waved his hand and did not say anything. However, his face was still frighteningly pale. The butler was shocked and quickly called Liu Feng to invite her to come and see him.

Liu Feng, who had just landed, raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, “I’m currently out of town. I’ll need a week before I can go back.”

The butler could only hang up the phone and look at Old Master Gu hesitantly. “Doctor Liu said that she needs to take a week off. She’s currently out of town.”

Take a week off?

Old Master Gu felt that it was a little strange, but he did not take it to heart. His breathing had already calmed down, and the color on his face had also recovered.

Old Master Gu waved his hand wearily and let out a long sigh.

“Forget it. It’ll be fine tomorrow.”
