Chapter 738 (1/2)

“That’s right, Ruo Chu. You don’t have to pay too much attention to the grudge between master Gu and the Ning family. Gu Zexi really likes you as a younger sister. He treats you as his own flesh and blood. ”

Chu Xinlan thought that if Ruo Chu were to leave now, both brother and sister would have some regrets. Perhaps they would even have a little knot in their hearts.

“Alright. ”

The husband and wife sat down again and waited for master Gu and Gu Zexi to finish their conversation in the study room.

There was a moment of silence outside before Gu Zexi and master Gu finally came out.

“Big Brother. ”

The old man did not expect Gu Ruochu to address her as big brother so smoothly. The moment his old eyes met hers, there was a sense of complexity in them.

Although they were only cousins, Zhang Xuan’s eyes sometimes really resembled his dead daughter’s. He did not expect Zhang Xuan’s daughter to have the same pair of eyes.

She even had the surname Gu. What a coincidence.

The old man laughed self-deprecatingly as a hint of desolation remained in his eyes.

However, these people reminded him day and night of how his daughter had died, how she had been humiliated before she died, and how she had died with hatred in her heart.

He could not let go of the past. Every time he thought about it, it would be a heart-wrenching pain.

He only had one daughter. His wife had passed away too soon after her daughter’s death.

If his daughter had not had the best relationship with Zhang Xuan when she was alive, he would not have cared whether it was an accident or not. He just wanted to let Zhang Xuan have a taste of what was called a heart-wrenching pain.

“since you have a guest, Brat, I’ll be leaving first. ” The old man’s voice was a little stiff. He glanced at the silent Chu Xinlan and walked away.

“I’ll send you off, grandfather. ”

Gu Zexi nodded at Ruocu and the others before he turned around to send the old man off.

The moment he turned around, Gu Ruochu saw a few bruises on his hand. It was likely that the old man had not noticed the strength in his hand when he had used his walking stick to hit someone.
