Chapter 317 Even the Substitute Loves the White Moonlight 3
“Zhaozhao, you know that Mom is not like those rich heiresses. Mom has no background and no status in the Gu family. So only by relying on you to build a good relationship with the Gu family father and son can we have a place in the Gu family.”
"Besides, you should have heard that Gu Jin'an's mother is about to return to China. If you still quarrel with him at this crucial moment, we will be in a very awkward situation."
Gu Lingfeng and Gu Jin'an's mother, Chang Yuhuan, divorced a long time ago. Chang Yuhuan has been living abroad for many years and has never returned to China since the divorce, but recently there have been reports that she is about to return.
Xu Wei was undeniably nervous.
After all, Gu Lingfeng still loved Chang Yuhuan, and the reason he chose her was because she looked three parts like Chang Yuhuan.
Unlike herself, she was a true heiress from a wealthy family, whose talent and character were far beyond her reach!
"Zhaozhao, you should put yourself in your mother's shoes! Besides, haven't you experienced the benefits of pleasing Gu Jin'an before?"
Xu Wei really didn't give Zhao Zhao any face. Seeing that he was unmoved, she brought up this sentence again.
Before he turned twelve, before Gu Jin'an truly accepted him, Xu Yanzhao lived a life in the Gu family where he had less status than even a servant.
Not only was she abused by a snobbish servant, but she also suffered immense psychological damage at a very young age.
It was only at the crucial age of twelve, when Gu Jin'an accepted him and protected him, that he gained some status in the Gu family.
Zhao Zhao's face darkened, and she took a big step back to create distance between herself and the other woman. As she turned to leave, the other woman grabbed her forcefully. The diamond-encrusted manicure was very sharp and accidentally cut the skin on the back of Zhao Zhao's hand, causing a few drops of blood to seep out.
"I say you……"
Xu Wei realized something and quickly looked down, her expression immediately turning panicked. "Baby, I'm so sorry, Mommy didn't mean to! Stay here and don't move! I'll go get you some medicine!"
Xu Wei hurriedly left the study, no longer maintaining her usual demeanor.
Zhao Zhao stood there with a cold expression, exuding an aura of gloom.
My mother is always like this, giving me both a slap and a treat, yet I'm always easily swayed by her occasional tenderness.
In a great hurry, Xu Wei rushed open the door, carrying a medicine box. Without saying a word, she began to treat his wounds, muttering to herself.
The wound wasn't big, but she disinfected it again and again, which was quite meticulous. However, at the same time, the already minor wound became painful due to the repeated spraying of disinfectant.
Her actions, like her attitude towards him, were contradictory and torturous.
The bandage on the back of her hand didn't look very good, and Xu Wei felt a little guilty. "I'm sorry, baby, Mommy's skills are a bit lacking."
As she spoke, she rushed out again, grabbed a pair of gloves, and was about to put them on Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Zhao looked at her coldly and withdrew her hand, "Have you ever seen anyone wear gloves at home?"
Xu Wei didn't dare to look him in the eye, and simply said, "The white bandage on your hand looks too ugly, it'll look better with this on..."
Her words trailed off, and she glanced away guiltily before forcefully putting on her gloves. Finally, she emphasized, "Don't let Gu Jin'an find out."
Nodding impatiently, Zhao Zhao hurriedly left the suffocating place, only to bump into Gu Jin'an right outside.
Zhao Zhao put her hands in her pockets and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Aunt Xu, what were you doing carrying that medicine box? Are you hurt?" Coincidentally, Xu Wei ran into Gu Jin'an, who was being called upstairs by Gu Lingfeng, as she was carrying the medicine box.
Gu Jin'an cared deeply about everything Zhao Zhao owned, so after being scolded by his father, he rushed over in that direction.
His eyes, like radar, quickly scanned Zhao Zhao. "Brother, are you hurt?"
Zhao Zhao simply stepped back indifferently, "I'm fine."
He then walked away, leaving Gu Jin'an with a cold and aloof back view.
Feeling uneasy, Gu Jin'an instinctively pushed open the study door, only to find it locked from the inside.
She curled her lips into a wicked smile, "Aunt Xu~ what are you doing in there~"
There was no sound from inside for a long time. Gu Jin'an's eyes turned cold. He kicked the door hard as a warning and left with a cold face.
……
As darkness fell, the mansion was brightly lit, and the servants methodically prepared the things Gu Lingfeng would need for his trip abroad.
"I have to go abroad temporarily. You stay home and don't cause me any trouble."
Gu Lingfeng walked downstairs unhurriedly, looked at his son playing on his phone on the living room sofa, frowned and gave him some words of advice with concern.
In fact, Gu Jin'an also held a position in his own company and was already capable of handling many challenges, but in his eyes, he was still a child who hadn't grown up.
"Oh."
Gu Jin'an didn't even look up. As soon as his father left, he immediately ran to Zhao Zhao's room to find him.
"Knock down."
"Brother, open the door."
Zhao Zhao opened the door a crack, hesitated for a moment, and then let Gu Jin'an in.
"Brother, I want to sleep with you tonight~"
Gu Jin'an rushed into the room without any hesitation, hugged Zhao Zhao's thin body tightly, and rubbed his head against his neck like a big dog.
She was very dependent on and close to him.
Gu Jin'an noticed that her brother's temper was much better at night than during the day, so she took advantage of the situation and whine in his ear, "Brother, let me sleep with you. We haven't slept together in so long."
Gu Lingfeng didn't like Zhao Zhao getting too close to him. After they became adults, they hadn't slept peacefully in the same bed for a long time.
Zhao Zhao lowered his eyes. He knew what would happen next and the boy's emotions were beginning to change. He just shook his head and refused to agree no matter how much he tried to persuade him.
"Humph!"
Gu Jin'an wanted to leave in anger but couldn't bear to, so she compromised and said, "Then can I sit here for a while?"
She stared at him with resentful eyes, as if she would make a scene if he shook his head or said anything else to refuse.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhao did not refuse this time, so the two sat quietly on the sofa, one reading quietly and the other playing games impatiently, a rare moment of peace and tranquility.
However, Zhao Zhao didn't fully absorb the book in his hand this time; he was thinking about how to treat Gu Jin'an.
After all, he was dying soon, so before he left, he just wanted to use the remaining time to complete his mission.
But his mother's words today made him hesitate.
After all, his mother needed him to please Gu Jin'an.
But doing things against one's own will is really upsetting.
