Chapter 518 - 519: Send Off the Guest
Gu ZhenGuo nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, indeed."
The Zhuang Family, with its massive estate and repeated claims of owing Gu Wenjuan, would certainly compensate her with many wonderful things.
The last time he asked Gu Wenjuan for one million, it already gave Gu ZhenGuo a taste of sweetness.
Though this sum wasn’t much for him now, the fact that Gu Wenjuan could provide it showed just how well the Zhuang Family treated her.
Gu ZhenGuo was here today solely to curry favor; the better the Zhuang Family treated Gu Wenjuan, the more benefits he would naturally receive.
Gu ZhenGuo’s mental calculations rattled loudly in his mind, the happier the thoughts, the wider his smile stretched, almost reaching his ears.
The man opposite him, seeing Gu ZhenGuo’s expression, found it both amusing and ironic, and said, "That won’t happen anymore, Gu Wenjuan is moving out. From now on, you and your daughter can spend more time together without the need for separation."
Upon hearing this, Gu ZhenGuo immediately sensed something was amiss; he was adept at reading faces.
It was clear to him that this person was not enthusiastic, and even seemed impatient with him.
Gu ZhenGuo much preferred that it was his misconception, so he said with a forced smile, "Could it be Wen Nuan misses her dad and wants to move out to live with me? This girl, she is so attached to me."
The person across from him chuckled, then turned his head to ask, "Has Gu Wenjuan settled everything now?"
Gu Wenjuan was still packing inside, but she was quickly brought out by someone.
Gu Wenjuan had quite a few belongings, even though she had only stayed there for less than a month, arriving with her hands empty.
Yet, in this short period, the things she purchased already filled three suitcases.
These three suitcases were brimming with the luxury goods and clothes she bought while shopping with He Yong’er and the others; there were quite a many.
When Gu ZhenGuo saw Gu Wenjuan, he noticed her eyes were red and swollen, her face puffy, and even her makeup was smeared, giving her a very disheveled appearance.
Gu ZhenGuo had envisioned many scenarios of reuniting with Gu Wenjuan, but never did he expect that she would come out of the Zhuang household looking like this.
This situation, this appearance...
Could it be that she was expelled?
A pang shot through Gu ZhenGuo’s heart, and a foreboding sense of doom filled him with panic.
Gu Wenjuan, seeing Gu ZhenGuo, turned even paler.
Gu ZhenGuo, with a livid face, took in Gu Wenjuan’s state, then turned to the person who had just received him, and demanded, "What does this mean?"
The person smiled thinly, "Gu Wenjuan has made some mistakes, and we can no longer let her stay with the Zhuang Family. Since you’ve come out of longing for your daughter, just take her back with you. Gu Wenjuan still owes us three million. Since you, her father, are here, you might as well settle this amount."
Gu ZhenGuo was shocked, "What do you mean, three million? What exactly did she do to end up owing three million?"
"You should ask your daughter directly about that," the man, who was Third Uncle Zhuang, shook his head, "This is a long story, but in short, Gu Wenjuan can no longer stay with our family. The Zhuang Family, we cannot afford to keep her any longer."
Gu Wenjuan broke down in tears once more, "I’m innocent, I’m all innocent, they’re framing me, Daddy, help me, it was He Yong’er who trapped me, and Princess Mo, and Young Master Yu, they ruined me, they destroyed me..."
Hearing Gu Wenjuan’s pleas, Third Uncle Zhuang’s eyes lost the last glimmer of sympathy, leaving only a scoff: "No matter who caused this, first bring out the three million. Since Mr. Gu is here, you might as well settle this debt for your daughter."
