Chapter 81: He Also Came to Understand

Gu Yeting now personally understood what it felt like to have one's sincere feelings trampled upon, just as Gu Wenyan once had.

Even though he had only done a very trivial thing, the sincerity, effort, and care represented behind this act...

... were all treated by Gu Wenyan as something of no consequence; she simply did not care at all.

Through her behavior, Gu Yeting suddenly thought of his own past actions; although they could not be equated, in reality... there was actually no great difference.

Perhaps, when Gu Wenyan had just returned to the Gu Family, she had also thought about drawing closer to him, wanting to be intimate with him, and had the idea of looking at him as a brother.

But at that time, how had he treated Gu Wenyan?

He simply did not care about Gu Wenyan, and it wasn't just that he completely disregarded her; aside from ignoring Gu Wenyan, he had also committed many acts that hurt her.

At the mere thought of his previous vile attitude, Gu Yeting's heart would actually feel like it was being pricked by needles, a pain that was hard to ignore.

Even if it was not enough to affect his life, this emotion spreading in silence...

... really made him feel uncomfortable to the extreme.

He had never tasted this in the past.

Now, Gu Yeting finally understood that the feeling of a sincere heart being trampled upon was indeed very painful, so painful that for a long time to come, he would not forget this current mood.

"Big Brother, you try the taste too; it's really quite good, very fresh." As she spoke, Gu Wenyan also picked up a piece and placed it in Gu Yechen's bowl, smiling at him gently.

Although the curve of Gu Wenyan's mouth was not very obvious, at least when she faced him, it could be considered gentle.

Then, Gu Wenyan lowered her head to eat her own meal, not looking at Gu Yeting again.

"Brother, you eat too!"

The suddenly sounded soft tone came from Gu Mianmian.

Gu Yeting then remembered that Gu Mianmian was still here at this moment.

Gu Yechen also said to Gu Mianmian, "Hurry and try it."

He picked up a piece of fish for Gu Mianmian, and Gu Mianmian smiled very sweetly: "Thank you, Big Brother!"

Then, she turned her head to look at Gu Yeting: "Brother, hurry and eat... although Sister is still angry at you, it doesn't matter; after a while, Sister will definitely stop being angry!"

At this moment, Gu Yeting only felt that this comfort would have been better left unsaid.

He felt even more helpless.

But Gu Mianmian was also his sister... he had promised to treat them both fairly.

Gu Yeting nodded: "You hurry and eat too."

Thus, this meal continued in a particularly strange state until it ended.

After eating, Gu Wenyan went to the backyard to tend to the flowers and plants, and by the way, to blow in the cool breeze and look at the evening scenery.

Gu Yechen had to return to his study to handle official business; today was a rare occasion where he had time to stay home for a meal, but his work was not yet finished.

As the future person in charge of the Gu Group, the pressure on him was imaginable.

Ye Yiwen had also made an appointment with her close friends to get a facial treatment tonight, leaving only Gu Mianmian and Gu Yeting in the living room.

Gu Mianmian leaned against him, her tone innocent: "Brother, let's watch a movie together; what do you want to watch?"

At this time, Gu Yeting had no mood at all to watch a movie.

He shook his head: "I won't watch; Mianmian, you go to sleep early."

After saying this, he turned and went back to his room.

Gu Mianmian's fingernails directly pinched blood marks into her palms; at this moment, she was completely insane, wishing she could return to when Gu Wenyan had just returned to the Gu Family...

... and drive a car to hit Gu Wenyan to death!

If she had done such a thing at that time, given the degree of the Gu Family's doting on her, they would definitely have protected her!

They would never have let her pay a practical price!

But realizing this point now... it was completely too late.

Gu Mianmian sat alone in the living room with an ugly expression, constantly thinking about what she should do next.

Just as she felt frantic, she suddenly saw some magazines and letters placed on the coffee table.

There was a letter, an invitation from an International Huahui Bolanhui; they had sent a physical invitation to the Gu Family.

Inviting Gu Wenyan to attend.

Why should only Gu Wenyan go to participate?

She could go too!

If she could win the top prize at this International Huahui Bolanhui... at least be more popular than Gu Wenyan, or use some means at this Expo...

Gu Mianmian could not help but want to laugh out loud; she thought she had found a way to teach Gu Wenyan a lesson and was incredibly excited!

Gu Wenyan, however, did not know about this matter.

Because when she registered for that official live-streaming software, the backend real-name authentication had her ID address, and it just so happened that this International Huahui Bolanhui was collaborating with this official live-streaming software, so they got her real address from the backend and mailed the invitation over.

At this time, Gu Wenyan had no intention of participating in the Huahui Bolanhui at all, feeling there was absolutely no need, and she did not think she had the interest or the mind for it.

Before going to sleep, she had another phone call with Bo Sihan, chatting until her phone ran out of battery, before finally falling asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she discovered that Gu Yefeng had finally returned.

Ever since the success at the Exhibition in Shanghai, Gu Yefeng had spent a lot of time recently on the operation of the Art Museum.

And he had been flying all over the country looking for exhibits he deemed qualified to be placed in his Art Museum.

After finishing a period of work, Gu Yefeng finally thought of coming home to take a look.

When Gu Wenyan got up and went downstairs, Gu Mianmian had already known the news of his return in advance and was enthusiastically showing concern for him by his side.

At this moment, Gu Mianmian was very sweet and lovely; with her ability to disguise, she could change the various bad impressions she had previously left in Gu Yefeng's heart.

She even spent a fortune, telling Gu Yefeng: "Second Brother, I found a friend to buy a very good piece of work, hoping it can serve as compensation for my previous muddled behavior... toward you."

"I know this little bit of compensation doesn't count for much, but I hope you can accept my sincerity!"

After that painting was displayed, Gu Yefeng's gaze became a bit more serious; he saw at a glance that it was an authentic work, and even Gu Wenyan could not pick out any faults.

She watched from upstairs, but did not discover anything unusual.

At least with her ability to discern, she could not see any element of forgery in this painting; it could basically be confirmed as an authentic work, and a very precious one at that.

Gu Yefeng sighed and said, "You put your heart into this."

"It's only right, Big Brother; I also want to make up for my previous mistakes."

Gu Wenyan heard Gu Mianmian say this, and only then did she slowly walk downstairs.

Gu Yefeng raised his eyes to look over: "You are home."

"Mm, Second Brother returned very early."

Hearing Gu Wenyan also call him Second Brother, Gu Yefeng's gaze flickered.

Gu Mianmian, however, was furious because of this sentence from Gu Wenyan and hurriedly shifted the focus: "Second Brother, let's quickly take a look at this painting."
