Chapter 555: Paving the Way for Her

“You’ve got to be kidding. You made solemn promises in front of others that you wouldn’t acknowledge Wang Jinhe, and now you’re saying this. You’re just making a fool of yourself.” Refusing to acknowledge her and still expecting to benefit from scheming against her? There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Gu Sheng frowned at his wife and asked discontentedly, “Are you deliberately opposing me today?”

“I’m not opposing you, I’m just telling you the truth. Su Yu is not someone to be trifled with. Just think about how he dealt with the Xie family last year,” Lady Gu reminded.

Gu Sheng felt a pang in his heart, feeling provoked by his own wife.

“What do you mean by that? Do you want to bring her back? What about Xiruo? She will definitely have wild thoughts. I absolutely refuse to agree to this,” Gu Sheng said discontentedly. No one could let his precious daughter suffer.

Lady Gu’s mouth twitched, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Did Gu Sheng really take her words to heart?

“Master, I’ve said before that Su Yu won’t let Xiao He come back, and besides, she wouldn’t come back herself.” The little outfit back then was just a test, and Wang Jinhe knew about their decision. After going through so much, especially when Xiruo tried to take Wang Jinhe’s life, how could she possibly come back?

“Are we just going to give up on what she holds and her connections?” Gu Sheng said discontentedly.

With such valuable possessions and connections, could Xiruo’s future be any better?

Yes, Gu Sheng wanted what Wang Jinhe held, not because he genuinely wanted her to come back, but to pave the way for Xiruo.

Lady Gu was at a loss for words in response to Gu Sheng’s question.

Looking at Gu Sheng with a headache, she said helplessly, “Master, what are you doing? If you’ve chosen Xiruo, then stop thinking about what she has.”

Her husband usually didn’t have so many self-deceptive thoughts, but why did he change completely when it came to Xiruo’s situation? It was as if he had turned into an ignorant child.

“Regardless, I will go find someone afterwards. If she is part of the Gu family, she should contribute to the family,” Gu Sheng said.

Lady Gu was about to say something, but Gu Sheng interrupted her, saying, “Enough, you don’t need to say anything. I know what I’m doing.”

Lady Gu looked at Gu Sheng with a twitching mouth, never having seen someone so eager to invite trouble.

Now, she didn’t know if Wang Jinhe had fully recovered. If he went to her and spoke nonsense, Su Yu’s punishment would be the least of his worries.

“Don’t come to regret this,” she said before returning to her garden.

When she found out that Xiruo was not her daughter, her feelings were very complicated.

On one hand, there was the daughter she had raised for over ten or twenty years, and on the other hand, there was her biological daughter. Blood is thicker than water.

When she didn’t know what to do, Xiruo fell ill, and she only had one thought: to save her. After that, they went to the Xie family’s village and found Wang Jinhe, intending to exchange her life for Xiruo’s.

At that time, she had already made her choice. After Wang Jinhe arrived in the capital, she didn’t even dare to appear in front of her.

She couldn’t help but think of the words Wang Jinhe had said to them and the complex look in her eyes at that time.

They wished  for her death for the sake of her daughter.

She felt that it was probably from that moment on that Wang Jinhe had completely lost hope in the Gu family.

Letting out a soft sigh, she realized that there was no turning back at this point.

They could only continue to make mistakes, and as for what Gu Sheng would do next, she couldn’t say she was optimistic.

Paving the way for the person who harmed her with her own possessions—how foolish could Wang Jinhe be to do such a thing?

The conversation between Gu Sheng and Lady Gu did not escape Su Yu’s surveillance.

Since the incident, the number of informants that he placed at the Yu family and Gu family  had increased, especially within the Gu family.

When Su Yu found out that Gu Sheng actually wanted to use Xiao He’s possessions to pave the way for that woman Xiruo, he was furious.

What qualifications did that woman Xiruo have to use Xiao He’s possessions and connections? And where did Gu Sheng get the audacity to think that Xiao He would definitely return to the Gu family?

He had never seen such a self-righteous person.

“Master, Gu Sheng is shameless. Even in such a situation, he still thinks about the possessions and connections of the lady,” using the possessions of his biological daughter to pave the way for his adopted daughter. Only Gu Sheng could do such a thing.

Anyone with a sound mind wouldn’t do something so disgusting.

But Gu Sheng didn’t consider any of that.

He only thought about Xiruo’s future and never considered what Wang Jinhe’s future would be like.

Su Yu subconsciously clenched his fists, his expression turning grim.

Looking outside with a slightly cold gaze, Su Yu said meaningfully, “It seems that the lesson I gave Gu Sheng previously was not enough.”

The fact that Gu Sheng still harbored such thoughts was his fault.

Yuan Bao considered for a moment and asked, “Should we inform the Lady about this matter?”

If the Lady wasn’t informed, and Gu Sheng really came looking for her, she would surely be at a loss. But if she was told, she was currently pregnant and had previously experienced a threatened miscarriage. If she found out about this, what if something bad happened?

“Also, there’s another matter. Gu Yanqi has left the capital, and it seems he won’t be coming back in the future.”

But come to think of it, with such parents and family members, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t want to come back.

“He’s a smart man.” With parents who can’t distinguish right from wrong, his face probably wouldn’t look good. It’s better to leave and not have to deal with it.

As for his desire to see Xiao He, he probably doesn’t have the face to come and see her now, does he?

“I will talk to Xiao He about this matter. She is much stronger than you think,” Su Yu said.

Yuan Bao was a little skeptical of what Su Yu said.

Seeing Yuan Bao’s disbelief, Su Yu had no choice.

Disappointment and sadness come from expectations. But Xiao He had long been disappointed and given up on the Gu family. Even if she knew that Gu Sheng was plotting against her, she wouldn’t have any thoughts about it.

After all, the Yu family had completely healed her.

With such a family, who would care about the crooked tree that is the Gu family?

Yuan Bao carefully considered and realized that it seemed to be the case.

Su Yu got up to find Wang Jinhe. When he found her, she was making clothes for the two unborn children with fabric in hand. There were also two sets of clothes already made for Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi.

“Are there no clothes for me, just a few children’s clothes? ” Su Yu asked discontentedly.

Was Xia He too biased? Even the unborn children in her belly had clothes made by her, but he, as their father, didn’t have any?

Is there such a thing?

Wang Jinhe was amused by Su Yu’s words. She reached out and pinched his face, saying teasingly, “Would I dare forget about you?”

With his jealous nature, if she didn’t make clothes for him, who knows what kind of trouble he would stir up. She wasn’t going to do such a thing.
