Qiao Wenwen heard that Young Master Gu and Gu Sheng were coming, and there was no ups and downs on her face. She put down the milk cup and leaned on the bed with her back to Xia Qingru.

"Whatever they do."

"Wen Wen, actually..." Xia Qingru spoke hesitantly.

"Mom, stop persuading me, I don't want to listen." Qiao Wenwen covered the quilt on her head.

Xia Qingru glanced at her, got up and prepared to leave, but after walking two steps, she sat back to the edge of the bed.

"No, I can't sleep today if I don't say this."

"Wenwen, I actually lied to you!"

Hearing that Qiao Wenwen put down the quilt and turned to look at Xia Qingru.

"Mom, what did you say?"

"That... If we went to Gu's family to ask for money that day, they were actually taught by the Second Young Master. The night before, he sent me the wording and the key points, so that I would have to memorize it anyway, otherwise Mrs. Gu and Qin Qing would not have been fooled."

"Ah?" Qiao Wenwen sat up hard.

"Well. He said he didn't want you to be wronged, so he asked me to recite it. Just recite it. He called me an hour and asked me a few questions. I am at this age and I haven't worked so hard to go to school. The key is that he actually said that I was in a bad mood!"

Xia Qingru's more aggrieved the more she spoke.

However, Qiao Wenwen became more and more funny the more she listened. It was really hard to imagine the scene where Gu Linyuan asked Xia Qingru.

But after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't laugh.

The night before Xia Qingru went to the Gu family to make a big fuss, she pretended to be drunk and grabbed Gu Linyuan on the terrace to question her.

So...he listened to what she said?

Two hundred million.

She also forced Shen Minzhen to sign a guarantee letter to not engage in her career.

Why didn't he say it just now?

Qiao Wenwen raised her eyes and stared at Xia Qingru and asked, "Mom, are you hiding anything else from me?"

Xia Qingru shook her head: "It's gone, it's gone."

But Qiao Wenwen didn't feel relaxed after hearing this, but instead sighed in embarrassment.

"Mom, I don't really understand."

She had never been in a relationship and married someone carefully, but she still married the famous Gu Linyuan.

She really doesn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her.

When Xia Qingru heard this, she smiled.

If Qiao Wenwen asks this, it means that she can't let go of Gu Linyuan at all. She just doesn't understand Gu Linyuan's good intentions.

Xia Qingru touched her head and said, "The second young master is introverted. He doesn't like to keep things on his lips, but he will silently help you do everything well. This may also be a way for him to express his feelings."

"But I..."

"But what can you do? Wen Wen, do you think the struggle between wealthy families is you quarrel with your classmates at school? Mrs. Gu doesn't even care about her own son, so how could she take care of you?"

"If you think about Cheng Si's mother, you won't know that she loved the wrong person until she dies. If Cheng Si hadn't come back to take revenge, this would be just a sesame-sized thing in Mrs. Gu's life and wouldn't care at all. After all, she also said that she has been sending money to Cheng Si and his son for so many years. How can you take her?"

"They do things without any loss. Even though you are smart, how much can you compete with in the face of power?"

Xia Qingru's voice was very light and gentle, but her tone was full of helplessness.

Qiao Wenwen leaned on her and remembered the eyes of Gu Linyuan when he asked her to leave. She was lonely, helpless, and couldn't bear it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Wenwen immediately jumped out of the bed and rushed out of the door.

Xia Qingru looked at her back and smiled, but she didn't stop her.

Qiao Wenwen went downstairs and saw Gu Shaoye and Gu Sheng wearing suits at the banquet, but their faces were not good-looking.

Hearing the sound, the two of them looked back at Qiao Wenwen at the same time.

"I thought you wouldn't come down anymore." Gu Shaoye said angrily.

"Are you really not coming to see me?" Gu Sheng asked sadly.

Qiao Wenwen stepped forward and hugged Gu Sheng, comforted him, "Aren't I here?"

Gu Sheng said angrily: "Don't ignore dad, okay? He has never been happy when you leave."

Qiao Wenwen smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Gu Shaoye sighed and said, "Are you really so cruel? My second brother has done so many things for you, so you left?"

Qiao Wenwen pursed her lips: "What do you want to say?"

Gu Shaoye's next words filled some gaps that Qiao Wenwen could not connect.

"Do you think your beautiful dress is really prepared by Lu Ran? They are all picked out for you one by one by one by my second brother."

"Do you think you were drunk and no one was harassed on the road because you were hiding well? It was your second brother who escorted you all the way."

"Do you think he is at home with Qin Qing every day? In fact, he has spent the last few days outside the Lu family."

After hearing these words, Qiao Wenwen was stunned.

During the few days she lived in the Lu family, she had no idea that Gu Linyuan was outside.

He is a very smart person, why is he so stupid?

Seeing that Qiao Wenwen didn't speak, Gu Shaoye couldn't help but beg a little.

"I know you may not listen to what I say now, but I only ask you for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Wenwen asked.

"You can get angry, lose your temper, do everything by doing heaven and earth, but don't ignore my second brother. He really needs people around him now." Gu Shaoye said helplessly: "But we know what he needs most is you."

"I……"

"My second brother is not born so indifferent, but his life is too helpless. When he was a child, my mother ignored it, and was exiled by my mother when he grew up. When he needed it, he was arrested as a pillar. How could he not be indifferent in such a life? But when you appear, you always like to stick to him and circle around him. It was you who changed him and you can't leave like this."

Gu Shaoye frowned and stared at Qiao Wenwen, his words showing powerlessness.

Qiao Wenwen tentatively said: "What if I leave?"

Gu Shaoye lowered his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "It won't happen. My second brother won't hurt you. He will even arrange everything for you to make you happy. Isn't Shengsheng's mother like this?"

"How did she...the hell did she go?"

Qiao Wenwen has always been very curious about Gu Linyuan's ex-wife, but she really can't ask.

Now that Gu Shaoye mentioned it, she would just ask to the end.

"In order to force her to leave, my mother forced her to commit suicide, but she fell down from the upper floor and broke her leg. When she was hospitalized, she was cured with the attending doctor. She made a big fuss about my mother's pushing her to commit suicide. This is how the 200 million closure came from."

"In the end, she left with the doctor with the money, but my mother said it was all my second brother's fault and she shouldn't have let such a woman come in. But if my mother hadn't promised others to socialize, my second brother wouldn't have been plotted against, and that woman wouldn't have come to the door to force her to get married under pregnancy."

"If it weren't for that hush money, the fact that my mother almost forced her daughter-in-law to death would have spread throughout the upper-class circle. How could she live so freely?"

"My second brother tried to satisfy everyone, he never thought about himself."

"But you are different to him. My second brother wants to take someone for himself for the first time. Do you understand?"

Gu Shaoye emphasized his tone, as if he was afraid that Qiao Wenwen would not understand.

Qiao Wenwen's ears were slightly hot and she glared at him: "What are you talking nonsense? What are you taking for yourself?"

Gu Shaoye chuckled and said, "My second brother forced my mother to retire, doesn't it count?"

Qiao Wenwen pursed her lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Shaoye saw a clue from Qiao Wenwen's red face and leaned closer and said, "You can't bear to part with my second brother, right?"

"I don't." Qiao Wenwen retorted, but had no confidence.

"My second brother is gone. After you left, we can't find him. Are you not in a hurry?" Gu Shaoye said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wenwen widened her eyes and looked at Gu Shaoye with a blame.

"Why are you talking now?"

"Don't you care?"

"You..." Qiao Wenwen retorted weakly.
