The old man knew that the Zhen Family had been in contact with Gu Jin for more than half a year.
He also knew that the Zhen Family was in Beijing, and once Gu Jin went to Beijing, the contact could beco too close.
He had nothing but disdain for the woman He Yuchun.
Gu Jin replied, "They called, but I didn’t answer."
Since last year, after eting Zhen’s butler, Gu Jin successively t her biological father Zhen Youzhi and biological mother He Yuchun.
In this lifeti, they were different from the past life, changing their attitude toward her and welcoming her with smiles veiled in warmth.
She knew the reason why, simply because of her current achievents.
But what they saw was only the tip of the iceberg, rely her real estate under her na.
And that was enough; all her properties together could rival the assets of the Zhen Family.
In her past life, she was treated like a dog, used as a pawn to be discarded at will, sold to the Liu Family as a ans of cooperation between the two families.
In the end, she even beca a scapegoat, sent to the execution ground.
Even though everything that happened in the last life didn’t occur in this life, those were events she personally experienced.
The pain, the humiliation, the helpless suffering, she could never forget.
Especially at the execution ground, no one claid her body, it rotted, her corpse lay for seven days.
That was the utter despair that extinguished her last glimr of hope.
Even if she were a dog, so many years would have nurtured feelings.
Moreover, she was their biological daughter.
She was too clear, without absolute benefit, the Zhen Family would not exert useless effort.
So in this life, no matter what warmth they feigned or how sweet their words were, she would never step into that house, the source of her pain.
This lifeti, she belonged to the Gu Family, as the daughter of Gu Dehao, with no other family.
The old man held the phone, listening to the silence on Gu Jin’s end, he sighed, "Try to keep your distance from them, your dad will retire in a year, and you can have a good talk then, all these years he’s been bound by duty, helpless, whenever he calls, he always asks about you."
Hearing the old man ntion Gu Dehao, Gu Jin’s eyes curved into a smile.
Of course, she knew about Gu Dehao’s affection for her.
Clearly, there was no blood relation, yet this man cared for her as if she were his flesh and blood.
From childhood to adulthood, she never lacked for food and drink at ho, all because of him.
It was impossible for her uncle and aunt to support an outsider, with no blood relation to the Gu Family, having an extra mouth to feed at ho without any opinion.
If it weren’t for the money Gu Dehao sent ho, her days would have been difficult.
She obediently responded, "I understand, Grandpa, rest assured, I’ll listen to you and not get too close to them."
"Hmm, call ahead when you’re coming ho, and I’ll have your aunt make sothing delicious for you."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa—"
The old man gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
Gu Jin looked at the ti displayed on her phone, letting out a small breath.
Since she received the acceptance letter from Shengshi Academy today, she had been on the phone for more than an hour.
"Here, have so water."
A voice as refreshing as a gentle breeze and as warm as jade sounded in her ear.
A cup of water was handed to Gu Jin.
Who else could be so thoughtful besides her dear boy?
She turned her head to show a gentle smile to the warm-hearted young man, reached out to take his cup, and sighed, "Thank you, Xiao An, you really are my little warm jacket."
After praising him, she brought the cup to her lips and drank more than half of it in one go, finally quenching her thirst.
