Chapter 1090. Scheming (4)
In front of Wang Hui’s gravestone at Qingshan Cemetery.
After Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye left, Doris did not leave right away. She remained standing at the same spot, watching their figures vanish until she could no longer see them before she turned back to look at Wang Hui’s photo on the gravestone.
After a while, a faintly cold smile flashed across that charming face of hers.
She stood there unmoving as if she had fallen into deep thought until she heard the sound of footsteps. Then, she came back to her senses and turned to see Gu Qiwu walk over with a bouquet in his arms.
As always, he was dressed in a well-tailored black suit. Despite being already over 50 years old, he still had the steadiness and charm of a matured man.
When he saw Doris, Gu Qiwu was clearly shocked. His steps faltered for a bit, but he quickly recovered and continued ahead. His stern face did not reveal any expression, but his silent eyes clearly softened at the sight of Doris. In an instant, they became mixed with emotions, and finally returned to calm.
He stopped by her side and bent down to put the bouquet by the gravestone before he said, “Why are you here? It’s windy. If you’re done paying your respects, then we should go.” It was easy to hear the touch of concern in his voice.
“Didn’t you come too? I didn’t know when you reconciled with the Mu family again to the point that you’d come all the way to pay your respects.” A sharp, cold light flashed in Doris’s blue eyes as she stared at Gu Qiwu incisively.
“Is paying respects on behalf of the Gu family inappropriate?” When Gu Qiwu heard Doris, his expression turned cold in an instant. The softness in his eyes instantly vanished and was replaced with a chill.
