Chapter 1084 Funeral 3
When Gu Lingsha heard that, her fair, exquisite face froze. She was stunned for a long time before she forced a burst of laughter out.
“Mother, you’ve overestimated me. Even if I was willing to do as you said, he wouldn’t have fancied me. Why should I invite being snubbed?”
When she said this, there was a stifled sourness that she could not conceal. She sighed gently and continued, “I’m feeling very defeated. With my charms, how could…
“Even Lingtian couldn’t make him stay, how could I? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up overreaching myself! Mother, I’ve accepted my fate. I’m afraid that I can only be with Ah Feng in this lifetime. He’s my husband and Weiwei’s father now. I truly wish that you can accept him, okay?” Gu Lingsha’s eyes were filled with appeal.
“In fact, you know that after the incident from six years ago, we’ve become enemies with the Mu family. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye haven’t been making life easy for me either. All these years, the ones who have truly protected me, apart from you, have been Lingtian and Ah Feng.”
Doris’s eyes began to s.h.i.+ft. In the depths of her eyes, she was still watching the scene playing on the television. She was about to say something when suddenly, a tall black-clothed bodyguard walked in. He whispered into her ears softly, then her expression changed and the chill in her blue eyes became even more prominent.
She waved a hand, indicating for the bodyguard to retreat. Then, she leaned back against the sofa. Her eyes were straight ahead, fixed on the television.
“Mother, did something happen?”
When Gu Lingsha saw her expression turn odd, she asked in concern as she turned to follow Doris’s gaze. When she saw what was playing on television, a smile was carved on her lips. “Mother, you really bring us good news. You just returned when the Mu family has met with such a tragedy. The last time because of Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, Ah Feng and I suffered quite a bit!”
However, Gu Lingsha did not see Doris’s expression change.
“w.a.n.g Hui…she’s actually dead? A heart attack? What could’ve triggered her?”
Doris was not as shallow-thinking as Gu Lingsha. She had met w.a.n.g Hui before, and the woman was a strong-willed person, thus her instincts told her that things were not as simple as they seemed!
“Mother, she’s dead anyway. Who cares what the reason was?! Even though I feel like…”
“Shasha, it’s exactly because you’re like this that you’ll never make it! I know that you hate the Mu family and Mu Yuchen to your bones, but based on what I know, w.a.n.g Hui was quite nice to you back then. Now that she’s pa.s.sed on, you shouldn’t be delighted by other people’s tragedy. You should pay homage personally instead. Do you understand?”
A sharpness gathered in Doris’s blue eyes as she looked at Gu Lingsha angrily. “You don’t even know how to do these simple things. You’re really making me more and more disappointed in you! I won’t talk to you about Qi Feng and Weiwei’s matters for now. When your father gets back, I’ll talk to him. Why are you still here?! Go and find out what happened to w.a.n.g Hui. Order a wreath and attend her memorial service tomorrow.”
Now that she was being yelled at, Gu Lingsha was shocked again. She bit her lip uneasily. “Mother, you embarra.s.sed Ah Feng yesterday by just leaving like that. How about you come over to the Qi residence for dinner tonight? At the same time, see if you have any friends here that you want to invite. We can then discuss the wedding matters too.”
Upon hearing that, Doris just scoffed, “Do you know what being embarra.s.sed means? Have you two ever considered my feelings? My own daughter is getting married, and I had to find out from the TV, from other people. Gu Lingsha, how dare you?!”
“No, Mother…I’ve already explained what I needed to! Mother, you have to believe me! Weiwei’s such a cute little girl. You’re her grandmother. Can’t you just love her? The way you are behaving with me and how weak she is, I don’t want her to be triggered again.” Gu Lingsha looked helplessly at Doris.
“Since you had the guts to give birth to her without listening to my advice back then, you shouldn’t be talking about these things with me today. You know very well how she came about! You incompetent bungler, you couldn’t even do this little thing well. You wasted my efforts to create such a good opportunity for you! Do you think it was easy to persuade your father?”
When this was brought up, Doris got angry again. Her n.o.ble and beautiful face was filled with annoyance now.
Upon hearing that, Gu Lingsha knew she was in the wrong. She lowered her head and admitted her fault, “I’m sorry, Mother! I let you down! I didn’t think that Mu Yuchen would just leave like that, and let Lingtian stay back on behalf of him instead. Moreover, I didn’t expect that Ah Feng would come over at the same time that night…”
“You couldn’t even look after one man!”
Doris glared at Gu Lingsha coldly and sighed softly. “Forget it. Let’s just turn over a new leaf for this matter. Apart from the people involved, no one else knows about this, so all of you must also be tight-lipped. I can’t afford to lose that person! It’s never been a better time for you to use your brains more! I know exactly what you have been up to! If it weren’t for your father helping you to cover up, you would’ve long been exposed!”
“Yes! Mother, don’t worry. I got it!”
Even though she had previously been prepared, Gu Lingsha would not have expected Doris to disregard her completely. It seemed as if she was also used to her mother being like this. Even though she was quite stern, she was truly good to her.
“Go home. Remember to get a wreath and arrange for someone to send it over!” When she said this, Doris suddenly looked up at the television screen before her. “Go and find out when her funeral is as well. I’ll send her off personally!”
Gu Lingsha nodded. “Yes! I got it, Mother!” She did things thanklessly. When she saw Doris being all gloomy, she dared not say much after that and quickly left sulking.
While Gu Lingsha’s figure vanished out of the doorway, Doris sighed and leaned back against the sofa.
At that moment, Butler Fang reported, “Madam, the boss just called. He might only be home late tonight.”
When Doris heard that, she nodded and thought about it. Then, she took a stack of fresh notes from her bag before handing it to Butler Fang with a smile in her profoundly blue eyes. “Butler Fang, you’ve been working hard to take care of the Master. This is your reward.”
Upon seeing that, delight appeared in Butler Fang’s eyes and he happily took the stack. “Thank you, Madam!”
Doris watched as Butler Fang pocketed the money before she immediately laughed gently and said, “You’re welcome, but I do have some questions for you.”
