Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon Chapter 767 Pull Them Off Me

The housekeeper handed a food box to Gu Zi, saying, "This is sothing the lady of the house asked to bring over for the children. It's all cut and arranged nicely on three plates. Don't think she's being petty, it's just that this braised at is sothing she loves so much that she can hardly bear to eat it herself. It was brought by a student of my master who ca to visit him a couple of days ago."

She continued, "Speaking of which, I must tell you a bit more about this braised at. It's said to be bought from a place called Pingshui Town. The shop has even been featured in the newspaper. Nowadays, many city folks go there to buy gift boxes of braised at for their leaders and elders. Because of this, the shop has stimulated the developnt of the town."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi realized that the housekeeper was talking about her family's shop. It seed that her sister-in-law and the others were running the shop very well, and the business was stable. She accepted the braised at and thanked the housekeeper, saying, "Please thank Grandma Gao for . If the shop is doing so well, they might open a branch in the city in the future, which would make it more convenient to buy."

Gu Zi brought the braised at inside and placed it on the long table under the flower shelf. She didn't cover it with a mosquito net because she wasn't worried about insects crawling on the at. Ever since they moved here, Su Shen had purchased a regular pest control service from the property managent center. It was rare to see a single fly or mosquito in their ho now.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, parents had already started dropping off their children. The first to arrive were the three mbers of the "Iron Triangle" group from Su Li's class. They were stunned by the stylish and large house in front of them. Gu Jun was so impressed that he imdiately asked his mother if they could move.

"Mom, when can Dad let live in a big house like this? Our house is too dirty, and so is the neighborhood. Look at this neighborhood, every villa is so grand and large."

A frown appeared on Gu Jun's mother's delicate face as she angrily grabbed her disobedient son's ear and scolded him, "So you think our house is dirty because you've seen a bigger villa? Fine, Gu Jun, if you dare, don't co ho with this afternoon. And when your father cos back from his official duties, I'll definitely tell him about this. Let's see if he beats you or not."

Gu Jun curled his lips, a bitter taste in his mouth. "So, you two had a son just to have soone to beat up? It's been like this since I was a kid. You hit , your husband hits . I get in trouble, I get hit. You two have a fight, I get hit. I've had enough. Just go. Seeing you makes sick. I even doubt I'm your real son."

With that, Gu Jun and his two friends dashed into the Su family house. Gu Jun's mother, unbothered by her son's harsh words, turned on her heel and climbed into her small sedan. To her driver, she said, "Pick up this brat this afternoon. He's a disgrace, but make sure you co early. I won't need the car."

Because Gu Zi was busy in the kitchen, it was Su Li who greeted the guests. He had heard the entire exchange between Gu Jun and his mother. Looking at Gu Jun, his eyes softened with sympathy. "Gu Jun, I never realized. You've had it tough all these years."

Gu Jun waved a dismissive hand. "It's fine. They're my parents after all. I know they love . They just both have bad tempers. You wouldn't believe it, but once on my birthday, they got a cake. I complained it was too small, and they both beat up. My grandma had to pull them off ..."

Liu Shi and Zhang Liang, hearing this story for the first ti, clutched their stomachs in laughter. "Gu Jun, you're hilarious! Celebrating your birthday and getting beaten up, hahaha..."

But Su Li couldn't find the humor. He realized that even this was a form of love. He rushed to the kitchen to ask his mother, "Mom, Gu Jun says his parents hit him a lot, but he knows they still love him. Why don't you and Dad ever hit and my brother? Is it because we're not your real children?"

Gu Zi was in the middle of cooking a steak. With twelve students confird to co, plus Su Bing and Su Li, she had to prepare at least fourteen servings. Even with her expertise in the kitchen, it was a daunting task. She didn't turn around when Su Li entered, continuing to cook.

But when she heard Su Li's question, she paused, her hands stilling. She turned to look at Su Li, her eyes filled with a tender sadness. She knew Su Li didn't ask out of malice, but because he had rarely experienced parental care in his past.
