Chapter 1082: Chapter 1084: Treating Gu Qichen as a Form of Compensation Chapter 1082: Chapter 1084: Treating Gu Qichen as a Form of Compensation Gu Qi Chen had been a prodigy from a young age, and before her, he had been warm and caring, like Gao Wenbin’s attempt to make amends for himself.

Compared to Gu Qi Chen, though, Gu Zhaohan had seemed to be wearing a layer of ice-cold armor since he was a child.

He was silent and reserved, his demeanor as cold as frost, and no one could fathom the thoughts within his heart.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to get close; it was that he had never opened up to anyone.

Xia Yangyang might have been an exception.

But that too was the beginning of a tragedy.

The way things had unfolded up to today, she was actually the one who was the most heartbroken.

Just yesterday, she was running around for Gu Qi Chen’s murder charge, and today Gu Zhaohan had been arrested for investigation.

The two of them were her children, flesh and blood of her own.

However, what Gu Mingzhu hadn’t expected was that Gao Wenbin had actually agreed to meet with him and was already on his way from Beijing, expected to arrive tonight.

Xi Jiachen had also learned of Gu Zhaohan’s arrest.

He had also hurried over from Beijing.

As things had already converged together, she might as well resolve them all at once.

Gu Mingzhu simply invited everyone to the Gu Family garden.

Over the phone, Xia Yangyang only heard Gu Mingzhu telling Gu Qi Chen to come home.

Then the call was disconnected.

They owed Gu Mingzhu an explanation.

Actually, they had intended to go back as soon as possible initially.

But now, with Gu Zhaohan’s arrest, even Xia Yangyang couldn’t predict what would happen next.

When Xia Yangyang and Gu Qi Chen returned to the Gu Family garden, it was already evening.

The vast Gu Family garden was still brightly lit.

This was a tradition of the Gu Family.

Nearly every room kept its lights on at night, year-round, never extinguished.

It was not about being wasteful.

But rather because Gu Mingzhu had a fear of the dark.

She lost her mother at a young age and was raised solely by Gu Shengyuan.

But Gu Shengyuan was busy with work during her youth, and she was always cared for by nannies.

No amount of nannies could make up for a childhood lacking a mother’s love.

At that time, Gu Mingzhu would always turn on every light in the house and yard come nightfall.

Only under the brilliance of those lights did she feel lively and less alone.

Xia Yangyang and Gu Qi Chen entered the house.

The butler was still very attentive in helping them take off their coats.

The house was warm inside.

Gu Qi Chen asked, “Where’s sis?”

“The eldest miss has locked herself in her room all day today, she hasn’t eaten anything all day,” the butler said.

Gu Qi Chen furrowed his brow.

But Xia Yangyang had also anticipated this grim outcome.

Previously, Gu Qi Chen was imprisoned, and now Gu Zhaohan had been arrested.

When the truth came out, it was they, the two brothers, plotting against each other, with Gu Zhaohan conspiring to have Gu Qi Chen imprisoned and then being killed by Gu Qi Chen in retaliation.

Ultimately, in Gu Mingzhu’s eyes, this was mutual slaughter.

Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

It was probably soon after Xia Yangyang returned to the country and reconciled with Gu Qi Chen.

Gu Qi Chen had brought Xia Yangyang home, and Gu Mingzhu had said something to her at that time.

Gu Mingzhu opposed Xia Yangyang being together with Gu Qi Chen because she said she understood Gu Zhaohan’s character.

If she were with either of them, Gu Qi Chen and Gu Zhaohan would one day destroy each other.

And indeed, it turned out to be a tragic prophecy fulfilled.

Xia Yangyang felt terrible inside.

Because for the events to have reached this point, she bore an inescapable responsibility.

Like a thorn in her heart, Xia Yangyang reminded herself of this every moment.

But it was ultimately unavoidable.

Gu Qi Chen and Xia Yangyang went upstairs together.

Gu Qi Chen knocked on the door.

There was no response from inside.
