Chapter 164: You Grew Up to Be the Person I Hate Most
That evening, Gu Yuan’s mother, Wen Fei, returned to the country.Before returning home, Wen Fei sent a text message to Gu Yuan: [Wait for me outside the VIP passage.]
Gu Yuan saw the text and did not reply to her.
At ten o’clock in the evening, Gu Yuan personally went to the airport to pick her up.
Outside the VIP passage, Gu Yuan waited from nine o’clock until half-past ten. Dao An went inside once, hurriedly ran out, and said, "President Gu, Mrs. Wen booked a rideshare and has already gone back to the Gu Mansion."
Sitting in the car, Gu Yuan heard Dao An say that Wen Fei had already left. Her face showed no expression, as if she had expected it.
Her mother had always been like this.
The car returned to the Gu Mansion, where by then Wen Fei was elegantly seated in the living room.
A woman nearing fifty, with a cold heart and cold feelings, unperturbed by worldly family matters, looked extremely youthful—saying she appeared at most thirty was no exaggeration. Indeed, Wen Fei had taken good care of herself. Every year, Gu Yuan would send her a large sum of money, enough for her to live a luxurious life in Sydney.
The Wen family’s genetics were good, but that didn’t mean everyone was outstanding. Wen Fei’s looks were one in a million, and with such a face, she had been lavished with extravagant love from the whole family since childhood. Gu Yuan fully inherited Wen Fei’s demeanor, only the contours of her face leaned more towards her mixed-race father’s.
Her father was of Chinese and French descent, which gave Gu Yuan’s features a mixed-race aesthetic.
This was also the reason Wen Fei disliked her more and more. From the time Gu Yuan’s features matured, Wen Fei grew increasingly displeased with her, often saying, "You’ve grown into the appearance I dislike the most."
At that time, Gu Yuan didn’t understand why her mother disliked her face and even impulsively considered ruining it, thinking maybe then her mother would like her.
Fortunately, she wasn’t foolish enough to actually destroy her face.
Gu Yuan came in, stepping forward. The spacious living room was rich with a retro atmosphere. Wen Fei lifted her eyes and saw Gu Yuan entering, casually saying, "I haven’t been back for a long time. I heard rideshares are very convenient, so I wanted to try one. Who knew as soon as I got out, the ride arrived right away. You waited for nothing."
Gu Yuan ignored her words; it was merely a random excuse, and she understood.
She directly asked her, "Want something to drink?"
Wen Fei was still draped in an expensive shawl, her hair elegantly styled, her makeup exquisite, and her posture very dignified. Hearing Gu Yuan’s lukewarm tone, she furrowed her fine brows: "Mind your tone when speaking to me. Milk."
The servant immediately poured a glass of milk.
Judging by the speed and reaction, it was obvious Wen Fei had already been difficult with the staff before Gu Yuan returned.
No surprise, she was a member of the Wen family.
Gu Yuan raised her hand slightly to signal, and the servant immediately stepped forward. Gu Yuan reached out: "Give it to me."
The servant, relieved, handed the milk to Gu Yuan.
Earlier, when Mrs. Wen arrived, the newly hired servant had poured several glasses of water, but Wen Fei didn’t take any, nor did she speak, leaving the servant wondering if the glasses she poured weren’t what Mrs. Wen wanted to drink.
She made several trips, but Mrs. Wen still didn’t take any, not even glancing at her.
It wasn’t until Uncle Xiang came to tell her, that she realized Mrs. Wen wasn’t picky about what kind of water, but who was pouring it for her.
Wen Fei wanted Gu Yuan to fetch and hand her the water, that was the implication.
Gu Yuan handed the glass of milk in front of Wen Fei, who took it, her voice melodious and with a high tone: "Let’s leave it for today. Next time, you go pour it yourself."
The only one who could be so bossy towards Gu Yuan was her own biological mother, Wen Fei.
