Chapter 70 : The Evil Done By The Father, Now The Daughter Has To Make Up For It

Gu Nian frowned and followed her. What was going on with Yan Chuwei's attitude of catching the mistress?

The two came to Yan Chuwei's forensic office. As soon as they closed the door, Yan Chuwei asked, "Do you like Chu Zhaoyang?"

On the way, Gu Nian vaguely expected that she was going to ask this.

At this time, she didn't want to deny it. She only hesitated for a moment and nodded: "...Yes."

"Pak"

Without any warning, Yan Chuwei raised her hand and slapped her.

"Gu Nian, you are shameless, even though you know I like him too!" After Yan Chuwei slapped her, she pointed at Gu Nian's nose and said through gritted teeth.

Gu Nian frowned and took a step back, feeling uncomfortable having her nose pointed at her

The left side of her face was still burning, and she was amused by Yan Chuwei's question.

"As long as you like him, no one else can like him, right?" Gu Nian raised her hand and touched the left side of her face where she had been slapped. She felt a burning pain when she touched it.

"You must be the only one who likes him, right? Then do you want to slap them all? Why should you? You're not his girlfriend, so you can't care so much?" Gu Nian said rudely.

"I don't care, you can't do it anyway!" Yan Chuwei hated her so much that Gu Nian actually sneered and taunted her. Chu Zhaoyang just didn't see her true face. She had two face.

"Don't you fell sorry for my brother?" Yan Chuwei asked.

Gu Nian laughed angrily: "Isn't that what you said when you asked me not to think about Yan Lui all the time and encouraged me to go out and find a boyfriend? Why are you talking about this now?"

Yan Lui was dead, and the two of them have never officially started dating, so what did she mean to feel sorry for him?

Should she remain a widow for the rest of her life because of Yan Lui?

What a ridiculous view this was!

Yan Chuwei's expression was distorted. She said this that day because she saw Chu Zhaoyang there.

A woman's intuition was really accurate. She felt that Gu Nian would pose a threat to her that day, so she deliberately kept mentioning Yan Lui to let Chu Zhaoyang know that Gu Nian always had someone in her heart. Even if that person was dead, the living could never compete with the dead.

In her heart, Yan Lui always come first.

She just wanted Chu Zhaoyang to listen to it.

Which man could allow his woman to have another man in her heart? Even if it's a dead person.

"Don't make excuses. If you like someone else, I don't care, but it can't be Chu Zhaoyang!" Yan Chuwei said bitterly, "It's really hypocritical to care about you. I treat you as a friend. Last time I told you, while you said you wanted to support me, you secretly liked Chu Zhaoyang without telling me, is it fun for you to play with me like this?"

"When did I say I support you? You know what you were thinking when you said those words to me. Whether you treat me as a friend or a fool, you knew." Gu Nian turned around and walked towards the door, " I guess we have nothing left to talk about."

After saying that, Gu Nian opened the door and left, no matter how much Yan Chuwei hated her behind her.

*** 

Gu Nian and Xu Chengyi were going to Chu Zhaoyang's house that night, so they both went home to pack some luggage.

When Gu Nian returned home, Mu Lanshu was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Gu Nian coming over, she ignored her.

Gu Nian silently brought the dishes to the dining table.

When Mu Lanshu was finished frying, Gu Nian filled two bowls of rice and set them on the table. Mu Lanshu sat down to eat with a sullen face, not looking at Gu Nian.

Gu Nian took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of rice. She hesitated and sucked her lips and said, "Mom, I won't be home for two days."

Mu Lanshu paused and let out a heavy breath: "Why, your wings are stiff. In order to fight against me, you just don't come home to live, but you still want to continue to be your policeman?"

"No." Gu Nian put down her chopsticks and explained, "I have received a mission to investigate the case and protect the president of Chutian Group. I will go there with my colleagues tonight."

"A president doesn't even have a bodyguard? He still needs your protection -" Mu Lanshu suddenly paused, her face changed suddenly, and she seemed to stare in disbelief, "What did you say? President of Chutian Group?"

"Yes." Gu Nian looked at Mu Lanshu strangely, not knowing why she had such a big reaction.

"What's his name?" Mu Lanshu asked.

Gu Nian lowered her eyes in confusion, looked at her again and said, "Chu Zhaoyang."

"Pak"

The chopsticks in Mu Lanshu's hand suddenly fell to the table. One of them bounced to the edge of the bowl, and then fell to the ground with a "pop" and rolled a few times.

Seeing that Mu Lanshu's face was pale, without any blood at all, her eyes were blank and she didn't know where her thoughts were wandering.

Gu Nian opened her mouth and asked hoarsely: "Mom, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Mu Lanshu shook her head absentmindedly, put her hands on the table to support herself to stand up, and returned to the bedroom in despair.

She took out an iron box from under the bed, and there was a thick layer of dust on the box.

Mu Lanshu blew a puff, and the dust immediately dispersed in the air, causing Mu Lanshu to sneeze.

She opened the box and took out an old and yellowed newspaper clipping with only one news item on it.

[The heir to the Chutian Group was rescued today, 8 kidnapping suspects were arrested, and 2 ran]

"Gu Licheng, what a sin you have done!"

Unexpectedly, after going round and round, it ended up to Gu Nian.

The father kidnapped Chu Zhaoyang back then, and now the daughter has to protect Chu Zhaoyang.

This was the cycle of cause and effect. The father has done evil, and now the daughter has to make up for it.

Mu Lanshu sighed, put the newspaper clipping back, closed the lid, and put the iron box under the bed.

Gu Nian had been worried about Mu Lanshu's reaction and had no appetite to eat. After a while, she saw Mu Lanshu coming out.

She carefully watched Mu Lanshu's reaction, but saw that Mu Lanshu looked calm, as if everything was normal and she had not lost her composure just now.

"Mom, what happened to you just now?" Gu Nian asked.

Mu Lanshu calmly picked up a pair of chopsticks that Gu Nian brought for her, picked up the rice, and said, "It's nothing. After dinner, if there's anything you need to clean up later, I'll help you."

Gu Nian looked at her in surprise. She was so fiercely opposed to her going there just now, and even opposed her becoming a police officer. Why did she change her mind now?

Gu Nian couldn't think about that much now. Anyway, as long as she could continue to be a policeman in the future.

"Mom, don't you object to me becoming a policeman?" Gu Nian asked in surprise.

Mu Lanshu's expression remained stiff for a while before she said, "Since you like it so much, just keep doing it."

Perhaps, this was God's deliberate arrangement to make Gu Nian atone for her father's sins.

"Great! Mom——" Gu Nian was at a loss for joy, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and couldn't help laughing, but confused, "Mom, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Mu Lanshu's face was straight: "Why, you still want me to stop you?"

Gu Nian immediately didn't dare to ask and said quickly: "No, no, Mom, you eat the vegetables. Don't worry, I will definitely be safe and nothing will happen to you."

Mu Lanshu ate the dishes Gu Nian brought, but they tasted the same.

"Since you have received your first mission, you should do it well and protect him."

"Yes." Gu Nian agreed happily.

She didn't know how Mu Lanshu thought through it. It only took a few minutes, but Gu Nian was still very happy and felt a lot more relaxed.

With the help of Mu Lanshu, she simply collected her luggage and set off for Lanyuan.

She just had a phone call with Xu Chengyi on the road. Xu Chengyi was still stuck in traffic and would arrive later.

Gu Nian carried her luggage and arrived at the door of Chu Zhaoyang's house. Chu Zhaoyang didn't know that she would come to protect him, and she didn't know what kind of reaction he would have after seeing her.

This was her second time here. The experience last time was not very good, and now Gu Nian was very nervous.

She stood at the door, took several deep breaths, her palms were sweating, and then she slowly raised her hand and rang the doorbell.

Not long after, the door opened with a click, and it was Chu Tian who opened the door.

Seeing Gu Nian, Chu Tian was also stunned for a moment, her eyes slid from her face to the suitcase in Gu Nian's hand, and suddenly screamed excitedly: "Ah! Nian Nian, you and my brother's relationship grow so fast, you guys have prepare to live together!"

"..." Gu Nian was about to explain when she saw Chu Zhaoyang walking over and looking at her luggage indifferently.

 Gu Nian didn't have time to think too much, so she moved to the side and blocked her suitcase, and then she was fooled to death.

She was here to perform a mission, not to live with Chu Zhaoyang. Why was she feeling guilty!

"I was sent to protect Mr. Chu's safety, and one of my colleagues is on the road now." Gu Nian lowered her head to explain, not daring to look at Chu Zhaoyang.
