Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 717 Fate is Gone

On the phone, Mrs. Gu’s voice still sounded a bit weak, but one could tell her tone was relatively cheerful.

"I’ve eaten, I’ve eaten. With Aunt Tian here, has Ah Cheng eaten yet?"

Aunt Tian had been with Mrs. Gu since her marriage and their relationship had long surpassed that of employer and employee.

As for Gu Cheng, who had been raised by Aunt Tian since childhood, he of course held her in great respect.

"I’ve had my meal, Mom. How are you feeling, any discomfort?"

"None at all, I’m fine."

Gu Cheng finally felt relieved.

"Mom, I met with Brother Aye and his wife."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu’s voice clearly tensed.

"Did they give you a hard time?" she asked.

A mother always prioritizes her child’s issues, no matter what the situation.

Especially when it comes to seeing her child being bullied.

Gu Cheng got into the car, and the driver slowly drove off.

Sitting in the backseat, Gu Cheng’s mood obviously looked quite good.

"How could they? They’re not like that."

The reputations of both the Jiang and Lu families were well known in the Jing City circles.

Mrs. Gu was naturally aware of this.

"As long as they didn’t give you a hard time, that’s good. I’ve been worried."

After all, sending her son to them was quite abrupt.

But Mrs. Gu’s present health condition really didn’t allow her to travel that far. Although she looked fine, those toxins were still harmful to her body.

Currently, all she could do was to rest and recuperate.

The mother and son chat was very pleasant. If outsiders saw them, they would probably be shocked.

Who doesn’t know now that Mrs. Gu’s heir is not her biological child?

Yet, the affection between this mother and son was better than many actual blood relationships!

Indeed, sometimes blood relations don’t explain everything.

....

On the other hand, Lu Jing and Jiang Ye were on their way back.

"You say, the Gu family... is really quite interesting."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye smiled.

"What’s so interesting about that? There are so many more fascinating things out there."

The world is full of wonders, after all.

But for Lu Jing, this juicy piece of gossip was quite delightful to know.

"Has Mrs. Gu completely given up on her biological daughter, Xiyue?"

Indeed, for such a long time, there had been no talk of Mrs. Gu paying her a visit.

Even during the time of the incident, Mrs. Gu hadn’t appeared to move around at all. Doesn’t that speak for itself?

Jiang Ye shrugged.

"I don’t know."

Why would Captain Jiang care about other families’ affairs?

He had enough to manage in his own.

Lu Jing immediately rolled his eyes.

"Then what do you know?"

Such a contemptuous tone.

The story was incomplete, and it bothered him, left him feeling uneasy.

And don’t think he wasn’t aware that this man must know everything but simply chose not to tell him.

What secrets could possibly be hidden from him?

It had to be said, Lu Jing’s understanding of Jiang Ye had become even more profound.

Seeing his wife so enthusiastic, Jiang Ye cleared his throat.

"Looking at the Gu family’s current situation, Mrs. Gu made her choice many years ago.

Trading her biological daughter for a son, she didn’t make a bad deal.

Otherwise, the situation now would be completely different, a total loss both financially and emotionally."

And worse, lives might have been lost.

In the world of the wealthy elite, messy situations like these are rather common.

Lu Jing nodded from time to time, agreeing with the man’s view.

"Exactly, that’s how they portray it on TV as well."

Oftentimes, aren’t TV shows based on real-life cases? Not all fiction!
