The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

In Waisen Manor Community, inside a luxurious European-style villa.

Fang Wanping's usual calm demeanor and expression were different. She was anxious and kept picking up her phone to check the time.

Gu Zhuo sat next to Fang Wanping with an unfathomable expression on his face, but he drank the coffee in the cup quite calmly, which formed a sharp contrast with Fang Wanping's current state.

"It's no use for you to be anxious. It's good enough that the boy is willing to go today. He may not be willing to come back tonight."

After Fang Wanping picked up her phone and checked the time for the one hundred and twenty-third time, Gu Zhuo finally spoke calmly to comfort her.

"I'm really anxious! The child is already 26 years old this year, and his sister is not in the country right now. If we don't find a suitable person to look after him now, we won't be able to control him."

Fang Wanping sighed melancholy, and her tone was filled with worry about Gu Qiu's future life.

The butler at the side heard everything his master and mistress said, and opened his lips slightly, but when he thought of his own identity, he finally did not say anything more.

I don't know if the master and the mistress are confused because they are too anxious. Their previous way of training the young master was very good. Suddenly putting pressure on him in all aspects like now, based on his previous personality, there is a 90% chance that it will have the opposite effect.

Before Gu Zhuo and Fang Wanping had chatted for a few words, they heard the sound of a car engine approaching from outside the door.

"What did I say? Whether you are worried or not, neither of us can guess whether this kid will come back or not."

Gu Zhuo gestured to Fang Wanping outside the villa with his eyes, then stood up by holding the armrest of the sofa.

As if she had been waiting for a long time, Fang Wanping stood up and walked out the door very quickly. She did not help Gu Zhuo out the door as usual, but left Gu Zhuo, who had a little difficulty walking, behind her.

Gu Zhuo was stunned for a moment after being abandoned by his wife. Fortunately, the housekeeper at the side stepped forward in time to support Gu Zhuo, so that no unexpected expression appeared on his face.

Fang Wanping, who had jogged out of the house first, did not see Gu Qiu walking into the house alone at first glance, but noticed another person who got off the car before her son.

"Xu Yiyu?" Fang Wanping was surprised, but remained calm. "Why is she here today?"

Fang Wanping, who was unaware that her son had a good relationship with Xu Yiyu, racked her brains but could not guess why the woman who had acquired her daughter Gu Qing's Tianqing Clothing would be here.

After Xu Yiyu got out of the car, Lu Sanshi and Gu Qiu also opened the door and got out from the passenger seat and back seat respectively.

Gu Zhuo, who was a few steps behind Fang Wanping, saw the three people getting out of the same car at a glance, and stopped behind his wife Fang Wanping.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Gu Qiu saw that his parents had been waiting at the door for some time, and he was a little scared at first. But when he thought that it was Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi who sent him back today, he suddenly felt much more confident.

"I'm back. Where's Miss Zhuang from before? Did you send her home safely?"

With outsiders present, Fang Wanping managed to maintain her dignified and noble image. She suppressed the anxious look on her face and asked this question in a kind tone.

"This one……"

Faced with Fang Wanping's question, Gu Qiu hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

After all, Zhuang Xuanqi was sent back by Baili Ye, and now he has not received any news about Zhuang Xuanqi from that guy, so he couldn't help but be in a dilemma.

Gu Qiu was still struggling over how to give an answer, but someone answered the question for him.

"Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, my fiancé and I were having dinner at Wilding today, and we happened to meet Master Ling. The young master of the Baili family was also there, so he took the initiative to help send Miss Zhuang back."

Xu Yiyu politely nodded to Gu Zhuo and Fang Wanping, and answered Fang Wanping's previous question with a smile.

As for this mysterious Chairman Xu, Gu Zhuo and Fang Wanping have frequently spotted her on various social media platforms recently.

A business person who had connections with the four major families in the imperial capital, they were extremely grateful that they did not act rudely when they entertained her at home.

"I see. Thank you Miss Xu for helping me solve my doubts and for helping me get my son back."

After all, Gu Zhuo had been in the business world for so many years, and his ability to say the right thing to the right person had basically been perfected. He did not directly ask why Xu Yiyu sent Gu Qiu, whom he had only met once, back to Gu's house, nor did he ask whether Lu Sanshi beside Xu Yiyu was the fiancé they saw in the news.

There is no need to explain some things in detail, so as to avoid giving people any chance to talk about you.

"Mr. Gu, you are too polite. It is just a small favor for me."

Xu Yiyu said politely and modestly.

"But... please allow me to overstep my bounds. When I met your Master, I saw that he and Miss Zhuang did not seem to get along very well."

Changing the subject, Xu Yiyu brought the topic to Zhuang Xuanqi, and successfully aroused the curiosity and interest of Gu's parents.

Gu Zhuo glanced at his younger son, who remained completely silent, with a scrutinizing look, as if he wanted to get an answer from him first.

Fang Wanping also pretended to be affectionate and took her youngest son's arm, but the look she gave him was full of questioning.

Gu Qiu, who had always been unable to withstand the questioning looks from his parents, was unusually tough today. Facing the gazes of the two people, he just shook his head calmly but was unwilling to speak.

"I don't know how Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu know this Miss Zhuang. I saw the direction that the assistant of the Baili family sent her back seemed to be Jingyuan, west of Lucheng?"

Xu Yiyu interjected at this time at the perfect time, successfully diverting the two people's attention back to himself.

Jingyuan was the neighborhood where Xu Yiyu lived before she moved to Bujingju. If Tongzi hadn't told her that Zhuang Xuanqi also lived in this neighborhood, she really wouldn't have known that this elegantly dressed Miss Zhuang actually lived in the same area as her former self.

"Jingyuan? That's not right. I remember that time..."

After hearing what Xu Yi said, Fang Wanping frowned immediately and remembered what the person who wanted to introduce Zhuang Xuanqi to his son said before.

Although the residential facilities in Jingyuan are not bad, that is only relative to ordinary people. Moreover, compared with those newly built residential areas that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, this is a residential area that has been built for quite a long time.

The introducer had clearly said that this girl named Zhuang lived in another villa area on the east side of Lucheng, and her family conditions were similar to those of the Gu family.

Since the introducer was an acquaintance Fang Wanping had known for a long time, she did not doubt his words and arranged this blind date for her youngest son.

If the other party only lives in an ordinary community like Jingyuan, how can they be a good match for a wealthy family like the Gu family?

"Ahem, Miss Xu, and the gentleman next to Miss Xu, let's not stand at the door and talk. How about we go in and talk?"

Seeing that Madam Fang Wanping was about to let the cat out of the bag, Gu Zhuo immediately interrupted her and invited Xu Yiyu and Lu Sanshi, who had already approached, to come into the house.

The night was already quite dark, and Gu Zhuo originally thought that Xu Yiyu would decline the invitation, but he did not expect that -

"Okay, I'll be sorry to disturb your rest."
