After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

Since the banquet ended in a bad mood, Mrs. Gu locked herself in the bedroom, did not eat dinner, and just sat quietly in the rocking chair by the window.

She looked at the endless night sky outside the window, her thoughts flooding as she kept replaying what had happened today.

The words that Gu Jingzhan said at the banquet, the way he looked at her, and the actions he took...

Madam Gu's eyes were filled with guilt.

What made her most uneasy was that the string of Buddhist beads that she always carried with her fell to the ground, stained with blood, and could no longer be used.

This seems to be a bad omen.

Mrs. Li was worried about the old lady's health, so she walked to her bedroom door with a bowl of hot porridge and knocked on the door.

"Madam, I asked the kitchen to make some porridge for you. Please eat some."

However, there was no response from the person in the bedroom.

Mrs. Li waited for a moment, then knocked on the door again and called out, "Madam..."

At this moment, Zhuang Meijing pushed Gu Wenhua's wheelchair and slowly approached Madam Gu's door.

Gu Wenhua said in a low voice: "Sister Li, go and do your work first, leave this to me."

Mrs. Li's gaze lingered on the closed door for a moment, then she nodded, handed the tray of hot porridge to Zhuang Meijing, and turned to leave.

Gu Wenhua said to the door, "Mom, it's me."

Hearing her son's voice, Madam Gu came back to her senses and slowly said, "Come in."

After getting permission, Zhuang Meijing pushed open Madam Gu's door and brought the porridge to the small round table next to her.

"mom."

Gu Wenhua slowly drove the wheelchair and then stopped it steadily beside Old Madam Gu.

He said with some concern: "Mom, you haven't eaten all night. You will starve to death if you continue like this."

Madam Gu remained unmoved, her lips slightly parted, revealing a hint of fatigue: "I have no appetite."

Zhuang Meijing also helped to persuade her: "Mom, Xiaoyu has been thinking about you all night. Just now when he was taking a bath, he reminded me to make sure to supervise you when you eat."

Speaking of Gu Haoyu, there was finally a hint of fluctuation in Old Madam Gu's eyes.

She blinked slightly, as if touched by her grandson's concern, and asked, "Did Xiaoyu get scared by what happened today?"

Zhuang Meijing replied: "He was a little scared, but Wen Hua and I have already comforted him, don't worry."

"That's good." Madam Gu said with concern, "However, let the kitchen make a pot of calming tea for Xiaoyu to ensure that he is at peace."

"Okay." Zhuang Meijing replied.

Gu Wenhua looked at Zhuang Meijing and said, "Meijing, please go out first. I want to talk to mom alone."

Zhuang Meijing nodded in understanding, and then gently reminded: "Then remember to ask mom to drink the porridge later."

"Ah."

Zhuang Meijing walked out and closed the door.

The room was silent.

One second, two seconds...

Finally, it was Gu Wenhua who opened his mouth and called out "Old Madam Gu" to break the silence.

"mom……"

"Wen Hua, did I really do something wrong?"

Old Madam Gu stared out the window and began to reflect on herself.

"If the old man and I hadn't forced you to leave the child behind, this wouldn't have happened. I not only harmed you and Xueru, but also Xiao Zhan."

Gu Wenhua's eyes darkened. "It's been so long since the incident happened. Is there any point in arguing about who is right and who is wrong now?"

Madam Gu closed her eyes, as if trying to escape from the past that she could not face.

She spoke softly, "But Xiao Zhan..."

"He has nothing to do with our Gu family anymore, so you don't have to mention him anymore."

Gu Wenhua interrupted Madam Gu coldly, without a trace of emotion.

"Wen Hua..."

Madam Gu wanted to say something else, but she swallowed the words back.

Gu Wenhua reminded coldly: "Mom, before today, you have already made a choice between me and him. Do you regret it now?"

Old Madam Gu was speechless.

"I..." She sighed softly, "That's not what I meant."

"In that case, from today on, you must remember that Gu Jingzhan has nothing to do with our Gu family, and he is no longer a descendant of our Gu family."

Gu Wenhua is still as cruel and cold as ever, and people can't feel a bit of warmth from him.

When Madam Gu opened her eyes again, the guilt in her eyes was gone.

"Well, since he made this choice, I respect him."

The moment these words came out of her mouth, Madam Gu also let go of all the burdens in her heart.

Gu Wenhua stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the back of Madam Gu's slightly aged hand. "Mom, Meijing, Xiaoyu and I are your family."

Old Madam Gu tilted her head slightly, looked at her son, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"it is good."

Gu Wenhua responded with a gentle smile and said softly, "You can't have that string of Buddhist beads anymore. I'll go to Linghua Temple tomorrow morning to get you a new string of Buddhist beads."

Madam Gu lowered her eyes and glanced at the wound on his leg.

"Forget it, you haven't recovered yet, so don't bother with it."

"Then let Sister Li accompany you tomorrow."

"Ah."

Gu Wenhua withdrew his hand, picked up the bowl of steaming porridge on the table and handed it to Old Madam Gu.

"Mom, this porridge was specially made for you by Sister Li."

Old Madam Gu slowly sat up, took the porridge from his hand, and drank it in small sips.

The porridge was at just the right temperature, and as it slid down her throat, she felt the discomfort in her stomach instantly dissipate a lot.

Gu Wenhua stayed beside the old lady and watched her.

After a while, Mrs. Gu began to worry again.

"Today, Jing Zhan said in front of so many guests that he wanted to sever ties with the Gu family. I'm afraid he will be our enemy everywhere in the business world in the future."

Gu Wenhua was not worried at all, and smiled confidently and calmly: "Gu Jingzhan alone cannot threaten me."

"It's better to be cautious. Although he relied on the old man's relationship to secure his position as the president of Gu Group, he has also developed a lot of his own power in the past eight years. There are still many people in Kyoto who support him."

"Mom, you worry too much."

Old Madam Gu frowned and looked at Gu Wenhua.

Gu Wenhua said: "When people leave, the tea gets cold. This is an eternal truth. Moreover, the Gu family has long been deeply rooted in Kyoto. How can a Gu Jingzhan like him easily shake it?"

"He made such a scene at the banquet today just to scare us and show us his power. Now that he has left the Gu family, he can't fly high no matter how hard he tries, so there's no need to worry."

Hearing this, Madam Gu's brows relaxed slightly, but there was still some doubt in her eyes.

Gu Wenhua smiled gently and continued to comfort her: "Don't worry, since I dare to come back to compete with Gu Jingzhan, I have naturally made sufficient preparations."

After hearing what he said, Mrs. Gu felt relieved.

She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, anyway, you have your own plans, and I, a 70-year-old old woman, can't interfere too much."
