Chapter 1095: Chapter 1095: Gu Family’s Decision 7

It had been days now, Gu En’s bruised and swollen face showed no signs of improvent; in fact, it seed even more swollen. As soon as Chen Yun saw Gu En’s sorry state, he burst out laughing, “See, I told you! You couldn’t beat them, yet you insisted on picking a fight! Do you still think you’re the Gu family’s precious Miss? Back then, people may have humored you, but now? A pile of shit on the street—people avoid it because it stinks, not because it’s anything significant. Did you think you were still soone remarkable?”

“Director Chen, Mr. Chan, could I trouble the two of you to step outside for a mont? We’d like to speak with Xiao’en privately,” Grandma Gu stood to the side, shooting a cold glance at Lin Chan and Chen Yun.

“Oh my, I deeply apologize for this, Madam Gu, but no can do~ Gu En is a highly significant criminal, and I must personally supervise this eting.” After saying his piece, Chen Yun ordered his n to bring in two more chairs. He took one, Lin Chan the other, and the two sat side by side, arms crossed, eyebrow arched, staring at Gu En through the prison bars.

Indeed, in a place such as this, cruel to both body and spirit, Gu En no longer carried herself with the vitality from before when she ca to see them this ti.

“You want to see because Mr. Shen visited , right? Are you here to interrogate for informing him about Gu Zhilan? So? How are the Gu Family and the Lan Family faring now? Having a tough ti, aren’t you? The Shen Family, always so distrustful by nature—you must be struggling to deal with them?”

And yet, that sharp tongue of hers remained unchanged in the slightest.

“Heh,” Mother Gu let out a soft laugh, then called out a na that caught everyone off guard, “Zhaodi. This na, I suppose even you have forgotten it. Zhaodi, the little street beggar—sold off by her own biological parents.”

The na “Zhaodi” instantly darkened the light in Gu En’s eyes.

“Even now I fail to understand—why do you hate the Gu Family so much? Just because of that rescission of adoption? Because you landed in this prison?” Grandma Gu chid in, fixing Gu En with a gaze as if she were looking at trash, “If not for the Gu Family, you would rely be so beggar wandering the streets right now. The Gu Family fed you, clothed you, sent you to the best schools, gave you the finest education—what right do you have to hate the Gu Family?”

“Zhaodi, do you still rember? Who gave you that na, ‘Gu En’?” Mother’s voice was icily detached, “Back then, I was gravely ill and mistook you for my daughter, Gu Zhilan, bringing you ho to the Gu Family. For a long ti, I treated you as Gu Zhilan, often calling you ‘Miss Zhilan.’ Later, after undergoing psychological treatnt, I gradually recovered, and finally realized—the difference between you and Zhilan, understood that Zhilan was lost forever, and I would never find her again.”

“What exactly are you trying to say?” The repeated ntion of “Zhaodi” seed to have struck a nerve, leaving Gu En visibly losing her composure.

“The na ‘Gu En’—I gave it to you after I recovered and decided to formally adopt you. No one understands its aning better than . Do you want to know the significance of your na?” Mother asked, though she had no intention of waiting for an answer, continuing to speak on her own.

“Gu En—the ‘En’ in your na signifies grace and gratitude. In truth, I’m grateful you appeared in my life during one of my darkest tis. At the sa ti, this ‘En’ was for you—I knew you were cunning even as a child, and so I hoped you could be soone who understood the importance of gratitude. Of course, this ‘En’ carries one more aning—a deeper, more significant one.”

“What is it?” Over on the side, Lin Chan muttered a playful inquiry.
