CHAPTER 844: CHAPTER 844: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? (2)

Gu Nuan waited until she could no longer see her parents and then turned back.

Zhong Qiaohui stood in front of her, seemingly a little confused.

It felt like the Gu Family was just as strange as Gu Nuan.

If it were normal parents, they would definitely stay by their daughter’s side no matter what. But Gu Dad and Gu Mom weren’t like that.

Considering Gu Nuan’s personality, to become so independent and strong, it’s clear she inherited this from her parents.

Zhong Qiaohui stroked her chin.

Gu Nuan seemed to understand what she was thinking, so she spoke up for her parents, not wanting others to misunderstand them, saying, "A long time ago, my parents were both working, so they couldn’t take care of us at home. We had to look after ourselves."

"Mhm——"

"Kids from poor families have to grow up early, spoiling doesn’t help. When you always rely on your parents, what will you do when you can’t depend on them anymore?"

Zhong Qiaohui took her by the arm and walked with her: "No wonder you don’t seem upset or sad. I thought it was because you were too worried about your husband to care about your parents."

Do I miss him?

Very much, and uncontrollably so. The fear inside her was something others couldn’t understand. Especially since Tang Sili had repeatedly warned her that if she continued like this, she was at risk of a miscarriage. If that happened, she would deeply regret it.

"I want to rest for a couple of days. Now, most obstacles are cleared. Work is proceeding smoothly. I’ve arranged for Director Chen to take charge. You, keep an eye on things for me."

Hearing her instructions, Zhong Qiaohui nodded straight away: "Don’t worry. Your business is my business. Even if you didn’t ask me to watch over it, I’d still want to help. I won’t let anyone bully you."

Gu Nuan couldn’t help but smile: "Were you always the big sister type?"

"You mean when I was a kid?" Zhong Qiaohui squinted at her and raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t your husband tell you? What was my nickname as a child? Zhong Chubby—Yes, it was that man who gave me the nickname. He said I was an unstoppable force, able to squash all enemies with my weight."

Zhang Sanfeng was sitting in a wheelchair on the path they walked.

Zhong Qiaohui’s words echoed in the living room, more than just he could hear them.

People who knew were aware of who the man Zhong Qiaohui was talking about.

Zhan Dapeng could only sympathetically pat Zhang Sanfeng on the shoulder.

Zhang Sanfeng himself didn’t react much because what she said was true. At that time, he was young and arrogant, and spoke without restraint, so the price he paid was naturally heavy.

He had already come to terms with it.

When Zhong Qiaohui spoke to Gu Nuan, she didn’t miss the chance to glance at someone’s expression, seeing that the person remained impassive, leaving a sense of frustration.

Thinking about how many years have passed, it’s clear she has changed, but he truly became a different person.

Whether in personality or behavior, he was once cocky and now seemed like a timid turtle.

Perhaps once, when he ridiculed her, she was equally frustrated and wished she could someday ridicule him back. But seeing him like this now, she found no satisfaction in vengeance.

Gu Nuan entrusted her work to her and went to the room to read and watch TV, closing her eyes to rest.

After Gu Nuan left, Zhang Sanfeng came over and asked Zhong Qiaohui, "What did she ask you to do?"

"What, are you afraid she’ll do something you don’t like again? Or do you want to help?"
