Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

what?

A look of surprise flashed across Wu Zhao's eyes.

"Xiao Wu, don't talk nonsense." Gu Moqing frowned. "My eyes have nothing to do with Gu Chen."

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you're Gu Chen's friend, right? Xiao Wu spoke without thinking, I apologize to you."

"Don't misunderstand Gu Chen. It's rare for someone to wait for him... I didn't expect him to come back, so I'll be going now."

Gu Moqing nudged Xiao Wu beside her, "Xiao Wu, take me back."

After glaring fiercely at Wu Zhao, Xiao Wu carefully helped Gu Moqing and said, "Young Master, let me help you walk."

A faint hint of doubt appeared in Wu Zhao's eyes as he watched the two figures leave.

Who is this Gu Moqing?

Losing interest in admiring the courtyard, Wu Zhao walked outside.

As I walked to the door, I ran into Qingyao, who was returning from the Ye family.

She looked at Qingyao and asked, "...I just met a blind person named Gu Moqing."

"who is he?"

Qingyao looked lost for a moment, and after a while he hesitated before saying, "...I can't say, Miss."

"Why don't you wait a while and let the head of the family tell you?"

Seeing his predicament, Wu Zhao didn't want to ask any more questions.

A person with no bloodline in the Gu family but still living in the Gu family... Could there be some family secret?

Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Fortunately, the two didn't have to wait outside for long.

Gu Chen had just walked over when he saw Qing Yao winking at him.

"What's wrong?" He walked to Wu Zhao's side and asked in a low voice, "Zhao Zhao, are you hungry?"

Qingyao first glanced at Wu Zhao, and only after noticing that something was wrong with her expression did she lower her voice and whisper something in Gu Chen's ear.

"Just now... over there, I met... Young Master Mo Qing..."

"Hmm?" A complex look flashed in Gu Chen's eyes as he looked at Wu Zhao.

Avoiding his gaze, Wu Zhao stretched and said, "What are you whispering about? Why don't you hurry up and drive away?"

“…Okay.” Gu Chen pondered for a moment, “Let’s go back and talk about it later.”

The atmosphere inside the car was silent on the way back, and Wu Zhao could sense a slight irritation emanating from Gu Chen.

She was somewhat surprised, but remained silent.

Only after the car came to a stop at the villa and she opened the door did she hear Gu Chen's voice from beside her: "Zhao Zhao, are you... angry?"

"Huh?" Wu Zhao asked, puzzled. "Why am I angry?"

Gu Chen got out of the car and carefully observed Wu Zhao's expression. "You've met him, don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Thinking of Gu Moqing, Gu Chen's expression became somewhat complicated.

"Isn't he a member of your Gu family? Why should I ask? But that guy next to him, Xiao Wu, seems to hold a lot of resentment towards you."

Wu Zhao had thought that Gu Chen's name would be useful in the Gu family, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

The two walked into the house while talking.

Gu Chen sighed: "I thought you would ask about his eyes, and that the person next to him probably said something..."

"Oh, that?" Wu Zhao said casually. "I am a little curious, but he is a stranger to me after all. I don't need to have any opinion about you because of what a stranger said, do I?"

She looked at Gu Chen with some surprise, "Why do you seem a little... anxious?"

Two steps behind her, Gu Chen wore a bitter smile.

Upon seeing them return, Lan Yao quickly brought out the food he had prepared earlier.

“Gu Moqing… is the child adopted by the old man.” Gu Chen walked over to Wu Zhao’s side after she sat down.

Wu Zhao grunted, "I can see that. He's not related to you by blood. But the fact that he's living in the Gu family means he's probably being protected by your old man."

"Yes, his parents saved the old man's life. So after he became an orphan, the old man adopted him."

Gu Chen continued, "He was very young at the time, and the old man... didn't explain. So everyone thought he was the old man's illegitimate son, and he suffered a lot of bullying in the Gu family."

"Did he go blind because he was bullied?" Wu Zhao asked, pleadingly.

“No.” Gu Chen’s eyes dimmed slightly as he said this. “His eyes were because he saved me… I’ve always been very lucky, you know that.”

Wu Zhao nodded. Of course, the Chosen One of Heaven, with his great fortune, would have good luck.

"So the old man was quite comfortable with me participating in some potentially dangerous outdoor activities. I was young and impetuous back then..." Gu Chen paused, "It was because of that incident that Gu Moqing and I had an accident. I never imagined that my good fortune would actually harm him; he did it to save my eyes..."

Gu Chen spoke cryptically, but Wu Zhao vaguely understood his meaning.

"You two have been set up?"

It seems that someone had their eye on Gu Chen's luck back then, and even succeeded...

Gu Chen sighed, "It was around that time that the rest of the family learned that Gu Moqing wasn't actually a member of the Gu family. However, his parents had saved the old man's life, and he injured his eyes while saving me..."

"So you've been living at the Gu family's house ever since?" Wu Zhao asked knowingly.

However, Xiao Wu, who was beside him, harbored some resentment towards Gu Chen, believing that Gu Chen had blinded Gu Moqing.

"After his identity was exposed, he originally wanted to leave the Gu family, but the old man couldn't bear to, so he stayed. Xiao Wu came to take care of Gu Moqing later, so he probably doesn't know his identity."

The old man was afraid that Gu Moqing would overthink things, so he directly accepted him as his own.

Only a handful of people truly knew Gu Moqing's identity.

“Oh…” Wu Zhao muttered softly, “You’re really something that you can let him talk nonsense like that.”

Seeing that she had no other reaction, Gu Chen said, "...Although it wasn't me who caused it, it is still related to me."

“But this Gu Moqing…” Wu Zhao put down his chopsticks, “You should keep a close eye on him, there are some unclean things around him.”

She had originally intended to take a closer look at the Gu family, but something seemed to be obscuring Gu Moqing's detection.

If Xiao Wu hadn't appeared so quickly, Wu Zhao would have liked to get closer to Gu Moqing.

"Will he be in danger?" Gu Chen asked.

He covered his face, somewhat uncertain, and turned the ring on his hand.

She paused for a moment before saying, "He might not be in any danger, but it's hard to say what will happen to the rest of the Gu family."

Although it was very faint, Gu Moqing seemed to possess something that could absorb the luck of others.

However, the amount of fortune absorbed is extremely small, so small that it can be almost ignored.

A wisp of purple energy emanated from Gu Chen's body and skillfully wrapped around Wu Zhao's wrist.

"I'll be careful," Gu Chen said, reaching out to cover Wu Zhao's hand.

Wu Zhao was feeling the purple energy nourishing her meridians when she didn't realize that the purple energy covering her hands had transformed into Gu Chen's palm.

"Zhaozhao, I haven't asked you yet why you went out of your way to find me today..."

He lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Zhao: "It's not entirely because of Jin Chen and Ye Linlang, is it?"

Wu Zhao: !
