Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Chapter 17

After breakfast, Gong Mingye and Old Master Gong went to the office, leaving only Gu Wan’an at the dining table.

“Second Young Lady, today is the day you return home to visit. Young Master has instructed me to send you there.” Tang De said softly.

Hearing this, Gu Wan’an frowned, her good mood gone.

However, even if she didn’t want to go, she still had to go.

Tang De drove her to the Shen family in a black Rolls-Royce.

As the carved gate of the Shen family appeared in front of her, Gu Wan’an felt a wave of pain and disgust in her heart.

She had once sworn that she would never step into this place again until she died.

Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came so soon.

“Huff…”

Gu Wan’an exhaled a stifled breath and got out of the car.

Tang De hurriedly walked over with the gift and followed behind her.

After walking around the garden and passing through the veranda, she saw Lin Lanfang watering the flowers.

“Ziqing, you’re back.” Lin Lanfang had an affectionate look on her face as she held Gu Wan’an’s arm intimately. “Where’s Mingye? Didn’t he come with you?”

Gu Wan’an was so disgusted that goosebumps rose all over her body.

She pushed Lin Lanfang away and said coldly, “He’s busy at the company and he can’t leave.”

“I see. Did you have breakfast? I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite snow fungus lotus seed soup.” Lin Lanfang said with a fake smile on her face.

Gu Wan’an almost vomited her breakfast. She turned around and said to Tang De, “Butler Tang, you wait for me in the car first.”

“Okay, Second Young Lady.”

Tang De put down the gift and left.

In an instant, Lin Lanfang returned to her cold demeanor.

Seeing this, Gu Wan’an sneered. No one in the Peking Opera could change their face as fast as her.

“How does it feel to fly up the branch and become a phoenix?” Lin Lanfang said with a sneer.

Gu Wan’an raised her eyebrows and smiled. “To only have to open one’s mouth to be fed and hold out one’s hands to be dressed, it’s wonderful! I’ve been enjoying all the glory and wealth. Thank you!”

“You-”

Lin Lanfang was about to explode from anger.

“At two o’clock in the afternoon, I want to see you at aunt’s ward, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Gu Wan’an warned coldly, turned around, and left with quick steps.

She couldn’t stay in this damned place for a second longer!

Behind her, Lin Lanfang gritted her teeth. How could she have given birth to this sinful b*tch!

“Mum, I’m hungry.”

At that moment, a crisp voice rang out and a figure appeared in the living room.

Although she was wearing a cap, the face under the cap was almost identical to Gu Wan’an’s.

Lin Lanfang, who was lost in thought, jolted awake. She reprimanded coldly, “Why did you come down? Didn’t I tell you to stay upstairs? If your father finds out, not only will you die, but I’ll also be implicated.”

“Don’t nag. I got it. Is Gu Wan’an gone?”

“Yes.” Lin Lanfang thought for a moment and said earnestly, “Ziqing, you should switch back with her.”

“Why?”

“It saves us from being on tenterhooks all day, and besides, Gong Mingye isn’t old and ugly like the rumors have it, instead he’s a rare handsome man, and apart from being in a wheelchair and unable to share the intimate life of a couple, he’s simply perfect.”

Shen Ziqing rolled her eyes and picked her ears. “I don’t believe it! Living as a grass widow? I might as well die.”

Looking at her stubborn daughter, Lin Lanfang’s chest hurt from anger. However, there was nothing she could do about it. She handed over a beautifully packaged box. “Your express delivery.”

Shen Ziqing was overjoyed and unwrapped the gift box eagerly.

“Ah!”

The next second, her face paled and she screamed out.

Lin Lanfang looked over.

A shroud was neatly placed in the box, and a message was left on the letter.

––Don’t say thank you. Welcome to the AIDS Club.
