Chapter 1026: Confrontation at the Saint No Hotel

Now that the timing is right, Gu Dehao naturally has to take his brothers to seek revenge.

Gu Jin frowned slightly and murmured, "Got it, be careful."

"Don’t worry, my daughter, your old father hasn’t seen you get married and have kids yet."

As Gu Jin was about to put a strawberry in her mouth, she paused at Gu Dehao’s words.

Marriage? Having kids?

These things seemed too distant for her.

If it were the Gu Jin from a year ago, she might have joked with her father, even teasingly told him she had no plans to marry.

Now, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Because the first person she thought of was An Mingji, far away in Italy.

He was the child she had personally raised.

Gu Dehao, not hearing his daughter’s voice, thought she was embarrassed and decided to let his wife handle those matters later.

After teasing Gu Jin a bit, he hung up the phone.

Gu Jin put down the phone, gave up eating the fruit, and nestled gloomily on the soft couch.

She thought of An Mingji, far away in Italy.

She wondered when he would come back, how he was doing lately.

The last time they spoke on the phone was three days ago, or was it five days, seven days? She couldn’t quite remember.

...

The next day.

Gu Jin went to the appointment and arrived at the Saint No Hotel.

She met Gu Dehao, Ye Mei, and Gu Jiayu at the hotel entrance.

The family of four, led by a waiter, took the elevator to their reserved room.

Gu Jin felt that she hadn’t checked the almanac before going out today. Otherwise, how could she coincidentally run into the person she disliked most in this lifetime?

The four of them stepped out of the elevator, walked a few steps, and encountered the Zhen family head-on.

Her biological father Zhen Youzhi, biological mother He Yuchun, full brother Zhen Jie, sister Zhen Lingling, and standing beside her with an intimate arm around her shoulders was her husband Liu Bochang.

Only He Yuchun from the Zhen family had a drastic change of expression upon seeing Gu Dehao, revealing slight unease.

Zhen Youzhi saw Gu Jin first, showing a look of joy, whereas the Zhen siblings wore expressions of disgust.

As for Liu Bochang...

He stared intently at Gu Jin, his eyes heavy with intent.

The two families stopped in their tracks, the tension and strangeness in the air palpable.

Zhen Youzhi soon noticed Gu Dehao, Ye Mei, and Gu Jiayu, his joy considerably restrained.

In business, he was shrewd, and he could see that Gu Jin was truly a family with them.

The nervous and guilty demeanor of his wife caught Zhen Youzhi’s attention, smothering his mood.

Even though he had never met Gu Dehao, he basically understood that this was the man Yuchun married when she moved to the countryside back then.

Seeing the resolute features and cold aura of the man opposite him, Zhen Youzhi felt disgust.

He turned his gaze to Gu Jin, putting on a benevolent smile: "Xiao Jin, you’re here for a meal too?

How have you been lately? When I told you to come home for New Year’s, you didn’t return. Your grandpa hasn’t been well and often mentions you. When do you have time to visit him?"

"Thank you for your concern, I’m doing well."

Gu Jin’s attitude was indifferent, even distant.

Gu Dehao’s sharp eyes narrowed, and at the sight of He Yuchun, his heart trembled slightly.

After hearing Zhen Youzhi’s words, what else was unclear to him?

They had run into Gu Jin’s biological parents, what a twist of fate.

Back then, he truly loved He Yuchun.

This girl from the city, who came to the countryside, was unlike the other plain-looking village girls.

The moment he laid eyes on her, it was love at first sight.

Simply put, he was drawn to her looks and her delicate and tender skin.
