Chapter: 3088
The three of them didn’t greet each other, so Xiao Churan didn’t think much of the two. However, when Su Zhiyu noticed someone approaching, she looked over and realized it was Gu Yanzhong, the head of the Gu family, and his wife, Lin Wanqiu.
Su Zhiyu was surprised at first, but quickly regained her composure. Coming from a wealthy family in Yanjing, she was familiar with the Gu family. She knew that Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu were the parents of Gu Qiuyi, who was performing that night. It made sense for them to attend their daughter’s concert.
Still, Su Zhiyu had some questions in her mind. Both Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu were frequently seen at high-society events in Yanjing, but they didn’t seem as young as she expected. Lin Wanqiu, who had given birth, looked much younger than her age, almost like she was in her thirties, which confused Su Zhiyu.
Then there was Gu Yanzhong. Rumors had said he was near death from pancreatic cancer, yet here he was, looking healthier than ever. Su Zhiyu felt a mix of shock and curiosity, but since they were sitting close, she decided to greet them. “Aunt Lin, Uncle Gu, how are you?” she said warmly.
At first, Lin Wanqiu hadn’t noticed who was sitting next to her. She had been watching Xiao Churan, trying to figure out what made this girl so special to Charlie Wade. But when she heard the girl in the middle—Xiao Churan—greet her, she quickly turned to see who it was.
When Lin Wanqiu looked to her side, she was surprised to find that the person next to her was Su Zhiyu from the Su family.
“Zhiyu? What are you doing here?” she asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
Gu Yanzhong was equally taken aback. He hadn’t expected to see Su Zhiyu there either.
Su Zhiyu stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit shy. “My brother left me a ticket before he left, so I thought I’d come and have some fun,” she explained.
As soon as she said that, Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu understood right away. They knew about the Su family’s situation. Just the day before, Su Zhifei had decided to go to the Jokhang Temple to make amends for his family. They also remembered that Su Zhifei had previously been interested in Lin Wanqiu’s daughter, which explained why Su Zhiyu was present.
Feeling a bit awkward, Lin Wanqiu asked, “Zhiyu, I’ve heard about your brother. Uncle Gu and I didn’t expect… How is your mother’s health?”
Su Zhiyu nodded, happy to share that her mother was doing well. She realized she was sitting next to Charlie Wade’s wife and knew that Lin Wanqiu, Gu Yanzhong, and Charlie Wade must have known each other for a while. To keep things discreet, she leaned closer to Lin Wanqiu and whispered, “Aunt Lin, I’m really sorry. Charlie Wade and his wife are right next to me, and his wife doesn’t know his true identity. It’s better if we discuss this privately later.”
Lin Wanqiu was surprised by this revelation. She had no idea that Su Zhiyu was acquainted with Charlie Wade and even knew his true identity! She thought to herself, “Chen’er’s true identity has always been a secret; it shouldn’t be public knowledge.”
“How does Su Zhiyu know about him?”
“Could it be that Chen’er told her? That doesn’t make sense! Chen’er believes the Su family is responsible for his parents’ deaths. They are his enemies. Why would he share any secrets with Su Zhiyu?”
