nBut after they finished talking, Mrs. Gu said, “Hubby, Chuchu, don’t you think it’s time for Wanwan to go to the company for an internship?”

n

nGu Chu stopped moving the chopsticks in her hand and did not reply.

n

nMrs. Gu said again, “Chuchu, take Wanwan under your wing.”

n

nGu Chu did not agree immediately. Instead, she said, “Let dad get someone to do that.”

n

nMrs. Gu seemed to be a little displeased. “You two are sisters. You should help each other at all times.”

n

nGu Chu did not look at her. She looked directly at Mr Gu. “I really can’t spare the time right now. I’m at a critical juncture in a project involving Haicheng Company.”

n

nMr. Gu knew the importance of this project better than Mrs. Gu, so he said, “I’ll let Mr. Li help Wanwan.”

n

nThen, he looked at Gu Wan kindly. “Mr. Li is very experienced. You’ll learn a lot from him.”

n

nGu Wan nodded. “Thank you, dad. I’ll learn well.”

n

nMr. Gu nodded in satisfaction. “Good girl”

n

nThen, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into her bowl.

n

nGu Chu lowered her head to eat. She did not expect her mother to let Gu Wan into the company so early. However, it was true that she did not have the time to take Gu Wan in. Secondly, she really did not want to.

n

nShe was not afraid that Gu Wan would compete with her for power. Instead, she was too lazy to pretend to be close to her sister all the time.

n

nIt was fine if she pretended at home, but if she still had to pretend at the company, she would be so tired and depressed.

n

nHowever, her mother was only thinking about Gu Wan.

n

nGu Chu felt a little uncomfortable.

n

nAt this moment, Gu Wan suddenly smiled and said, “Dad, didn’t you want to give me try the crab from Xieshuiju?”

n

nMr. Gu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Gu Chu uncomfortably.

n

nGu Chu also sensed something strange.

n

nThe housekeeper thought she was being acute and said, “When the master came in just now, he gave me the box. It’s in the kitchen now. I’ll bring it over now.”

n

nThere were only a limited number of crabs from Xieshuiju every day. If an ordinary person wanted to eat them, they had to make an appointment in advance. From this, it could be seen how popular the crabs were.

n

nThe housekeeper heated the crab and placed it on a plate. When she brought it over, she glanced at Gu Chu with an awkward expression.

n

nGu Chu was puzzled by Mr. Gu and the housekeeper’s looks, so she looked at the plate.

n

nThen, she understood what was going on.

n

nOh, so there was only one crab.

n

nHer parents did not want to eat the crab, but there was only one crab. Her father had specially bought it for Gu Wan.

n

nIn other words, there was nothing for her!

n

nThe housekeeper also knew that there was nothing for Gu Chu, so she did not dare to place it in front of Gu Wan. She placed it in the middle of the table as if it was for everyone to eat.

n

nAfter all, in the past, all the good things at home were given to Gu Chu.

n

nAt this moment, Gu Wan said considerately, “Dad definitely did not know that you were coming back today, so he only bought one. Chuchu, why don’t I give this to you?”

n

nGive? How nice.

n

nSince when did she, Gu Chu, need sympathy?

n

nActually, she had just overlooked a fact.

n

nIn the past half a month, not only had her mother not contacted her, but her father had also not contacted her.

n

nFeng Jia at least made a few phone calls, but she did not expect them not to make a single call.

n

nShe loved eating crab. Her father had often bought it for her in the past, but when he bought the crab today, he had only thought of Gu Wan and not her?

n

nMrs. Gu picked up a piece of vegetable and placed it into Gu Wan’s bowl. She comforted her, “I will bring you to Xiashuiju to eat tomorrow.”

n

n“Thank you, mom.” Gu Wan smiled sweetly.

n

nThis scene was really ironic in her eyes.

n

nNow, there seemed to be only two options for her.

n

nShe could either take it or give it to Gu Wan.

n

nHer father bought it for Gu Wan, so she couldn’t keep it for herself.

n

nAnd even if she did, it was because Gu Wan gave it to her.

n

nBut if she really let Gu Wan have it, she wouldn’t feel good about it.

n

nShe thought for a moment and said to the housekeeper, “Ask the chef to take out the crab meat and divide it into two portions. I’ve done a manicure today and don’t want to peel it myself.”

n

nMr. Gu looked at her with satisfaction. “Mmm. I see that both of you like it. I’ll buy a few more tomorrow.”

n

nGu Wan smiled and replied, “Okay, thank you, dad.”

n

nAfter dinner, Gu Chu did not stay any longer and went straight to her room.

n

nAfter showering, she called Lin Yin and told her about what had happened that evening.

n

nLin Yin chuckled, “Can’t you just give it to her? It’s not like it’s for you.”

n

n“What if it were you?” Gu Wan raised her eyebrows.

n

nLin Yin immediately grinned, “Then I would definitely say ‘Thank you. You love me as much as our parents.’ ”
