“Mr. Wang.”
Gu Duo’s voice was clear and cold, and even his tone did not fluctuate much.
This was the eleventh time Mr. Wang had called Gu Duo, and every time he said the same thing.
“Young Master, are you still not planning to come back?”
Mr. Wang sighed. This father and son pair, who had exceptionally similar temperaments and personalities, just did not get along. Every time, they would have a big fight.
The younger one hid outside and did not come back.
However, this time, the situation was clearly different.
“The Old Master is sick.”
Uncle Wang’s tone carried a bitter smile as if there was a hint of pleading. “How can a father and son have overnight grudges? After all, the Old Master is old, and he cares about his reputation. Don’t get angry with him.”
Seeing that the other party was still silent, Uncle Wang no longer held any hope. However, he still asked as usual, “Are you really not going to return to Jing City to see the Old Master?”
Mr. Wang originally thought that there would be another period of silence, but he heard a soft and hoarse male voice, “Which hospital is he in?”
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment and immediately became ecstatic. He could not even speak properly. He stuttered as he reported the name of the hospital to him. Then, he carefully asked, “Young Master, why don’t I send the Gu Corporation’s helicopter to pick you up?”
It seemed that he was very worried that Gu Duo would suddenly change his mind.
“There’s no need.”
Gu Duo hung up the phone and looked at the tail line of the plane that had already disappeared. He seemed to be responding to someone’s question. “If you want to leave, then I’ll follow.”
Mr. Wang put away his phone and immediately went to tell the Old Master the good news.
The youngest son of the Gu family, the number one family in Jing City, was about to return This was news that would shake the entire Jing City!
…
Jing City, the Jiang family.
Liu Feng raised her head and looked at the building that was extremely similar to the one in her memory. Her eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia.
She did not expect that after so many years, the Jiang family’s residence had not changed much.
“Let’s go in!”
Jiang Luan seemed to be able to sense the complicated emotions in her heart. He comforted her softly, “Father, mother, and Yueyue must be very happy.”
Liu Feng lowered her eyes and quietly followed behind Jiang Luan into the door. She only heard Jiang Luan announce excitedly, “Father, mother, I’ve brought my sister back!”
However, only Jiang He responded faintly.
Liu Feng’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. Although he was old, his bearing did not decrease and his eyes were rather cold.
On the sofa close to the corridor sat a woman with the aura of jewels, as well as a delicate and quiet young girl.
Was this her blood relative?
Liu Feng subconsciously looked at the wealthy lady who was covered in luxury brands. She could not associate her with the gentle and elegant mother in his memories.
“Why didn’t you change your clothes when you came back?”
Qin Xi frowned slightly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone. “You’re dressed so flirtatiously. You’re not a lady at all. If others see this, it’ll be a disgrace to the Jiang family.”
Jiang Yue patted the back of Qin Xi’s hand and gently comforted her, “Mom, sister just came back. Moreover, she’s been living in the countryside all this time. It’s inevitable that she won’t fit in with Jing City.”
She smiled at Liu Feng and looked even more demure. “Sister, I’m Jiang Yue. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. Don’t act on your own, or you’ll get into trouble.”
Liu Feng did not seem to hear the sarcasm in Jiang Yue’s tone, but she secretly frowned in her heart.
It was fine if Jiang Yue was hostile to her, but why did Qin Xi not seem to like her?
She was too different from the gentle mother in her memory.
“If you don’t understand, you can ask Jiang Yue.”
Jiang He stood up coldly and looked at Liu Feng with a warning. “You can stay at home, but don’t cause trouble at home!”
Jiang Luan hurriedly protected Liu Feng. “Dad, Lil Feng just came back. There are still many places to get used to! I’ll bring her upstairs to rest first.”
Seeing Jiang Luan bring Liu Feng upstairs and Jiang He leave, Jiang Yue’s face darkened.
“Mom, big brother actually brought her back!”
Jiang Yue’s tone was anxious and angry. There was not the slightest bit of gentleness. “She must have come back for the Gu family’s marriage! Mom, I don’t want to give up the marriage!”
The Jiang family and the Gu family used to be old acquaintances. The two sides even decided to have a marriage since their children were young, marrying the eldest daughter of the Jiang family to the youngest son of the Gu family.
Originally, after Liu Feng was lost, this marriage fell on Jiang Yue’s head. She had been proud of it for a long time, but when Liu Feng came back, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family suddenly became her. That marriage with the Gu family had nothing to do with her, Jiang Yue.
How could Jiang Yue be satisfied with this?!
Jiang Yue pounded the sofa with hatred and said angrily, “She’s really poor. Why didn’t she stay in the countryside all the time? You’re in such a hurry to get close to your relatives. Such a style is really ugly!”
“Don’t be anxious.”
Qin Xi comforted Jiang Yue, and a dark light quickly flashed in her eyes. “Dear, the Gu family’s marriage can only be yours.”
Jiang Yue’s heart was delighted, and she hurriedly asked, “Mom, what do you have in mind?”
Qin Xi slowly curled her lips. “Didn’t the Chu family visit you a few times before and beg to marry you? Why don’t we marry Liu Feng to the Chu family? As long as she marries someone from the Chu family, the only person the Gu family can marry is you.”
Jiang Yue’s eyes lit up and she was instantly overjoyed.
The Chu family was just a small and unrated wealthy family in Jing City, yet they actually wanted to marry her?
It just so happened that Liu Feng was lucky. A country bumpkin was suitable to be with such an unrated family. They were really of the same social class!
