This trip home was really pointless.

Early the next morning, Gu Yiming planned to leave the Gu residence with Jiang Hua without even saying goodbye.

When I went downstairs, I found Bai Wei drinking tea in the living room, wearing a revealing sheer nightgown.

Jiang Hua felt uncomfortable. Although they were nominally mother and son, Bai Wei and Gu Yiming were not biologically related. Bai Wei was being too disrespectful!

"She really has the typical behavior of a mistress," Jiang Hua couldn't help but think to herself.

Gu Yiming knew exactly what Jiang Hua was thinking. He affectionately tapped Jiang Hua's forehead and teased, "Little jealous pot."

Jiang Hua's face flushed, realizing she had been a bit petty. But she still stuck out her tongue at Gu Yiming, looking completely innocent.

Looking at this adorable little woman, Gu Yiming's heart fluttered, and he lowered his head to kiss her without thinking.

Jiang Hua was startled; this was the Gu family home! She quickly reached out to push him away.

Bai Wei had actually heard the commotion coming from upstairs, but she didn't want to talk to them. After all, she was an elder, and no matter how unwilling they were, they would still have to give in to her!

Unexpectedly, Bai Wei's wishful thinking didn't work at all with Gu Yiming, who didn't treat her as an elder.

As Bai Wei watched the two of them fooling around on the stairs as if no one else was around, her expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

So she could only suppress her anger and look up with a fake smile: "Huahua and Yiming, are you up so early, are you going back?"

Gu Yiming stopped his playful fight with Jiang Hua, glanced at her coldly, and didn't intend to say anything.

Jiang Hua sighed inwardly as she watched Bai Wei's increasingly pale face and replied, "Mm."

Bai Wei's expression softened somewhat, but she still tried to maintain the air of an elder, greeting them, "Why are you going back so early? Come down and have breakfast first. The kitchen made Yiming's favorite crystal buns, come on over!"

Without waiting for their reaction, he directly ordered the servants, "Hurry up and bring the breakfast. It's rare for Yiming and Huahua to come home, how can you be so unwelcoming!"

Yanran acted like a hostess entertaining guests.

Jiang Hua disapproved of this kind of behavior from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Yiming's surname is Gu, and he is the true heir of the Gu family. Bai Wei not only whispered in Gu Heng's ear to sow discord between father and son, but also made such a gesture to annoy Gu Yiming.

Bai Wei probably doesn't know what Jiang Hua does!

So Jiang Hua changed her submissive demeanor from before and said to Bai Wei, "You're too kind. Yi Ming and I have something to do and must go back first. As for breakfast," she glanced at the timid maid and said gently, "This is the Gu family home. Yi Ming can come back to eat whenever he wants. Please don't worry about not being able to entertain him properly."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Aunt Bai, please don't treat us like outsiders. We're all part of the 'Gu' family!" She deliberately emphasized the word "Gu".

Bai Wei's expression changed immediately. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Jiang Hua say to Gu Yiming in an innocent tone, "If your mother were still here, she definitely wouldn't have done this."

Gu Yiming's mother? Bai Wei's face twisted in rage upon hearing this. No matter how glamorous she was now, Gu Yiming's mother's crudeness was a stark reminder that she had once been a mistress!

She was losing control of her emotions and wanted to shout at the building, but Gu Yiming glanced at her indifferently.

Her name, Gu Heng, was stuck in her throat.

Gu Yiming was too lazy to waste words with her, so he simply put his arm around Jiang Hua and drove away.

Bai Wei stared at the departing car, her eyes blazing with fury.

Just then, Gu Nanqing was about to go downstairs when she saw Bai Wei staring at the door with a gloomy expression. She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mom? What are you doing?"

Bai Wei turned to look at her son and gritted her teeth, saying, "I want Gu Yiming to be utterly disgraced!"

Although Gu Nanqing didn't understand what had happened, she knew that Gu Yiming must have done something to make his mother angry again.

So he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, went back to his room, called Xu Mo, and told him that the plan was being moved up.

On the other side, Gu Yiming felt relaxed after arriving home. Looking at the little woman beside him who had just defended him so eloquently, he couldn't be happier.

This is the first time in his life that someone has stood up for him. This feeling... is wonderful!

So he looked at the woman with her delicate and clean profile, his gaze growing more and more ardent, and his hand, which had been on her shoulder, slowly moved down to her slender waist.

Just as I was getting ready to do something, I heard the little woman excitedly shout at the computer, "Fanfan!"

Gu Yiming: ...

Jiang Hua, seemingly oblivious to his embarrassment, continued speaking to her computer with concern, "Why are you so tanned? Is it hot over there? Are your classes tiring? Are you adjusting well?"

President Gu rarely felt ignored, and he was annoyed. He looked at the woman who was ignoring him and looked like she wanted to go into the computer to see her son. He felt wronged for once.

So Gu Yiming condescended to glance at the computer and said to Jiang Hua, "Where is it that dark? Boys should endure some hardship. Look at you, you've only been abroad for a few days, and you're already so worried. Besides, our son is being taken care of abroad, so don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hua realized that she had been too nervous, so she said to Jiang Kefan, "I'm sorry, Fanfan, Mom was just too excited."

Jiang Kefan remained as sensible and well-behaved as ever, shaking her head on the other side of the screen: "I know Mom is worried about me."

Seeing her son's sensible expression, Jiang Hua felt her heart melt. She said with heartache, "Fanfan, hang in there a little longer. Mom will bring you back in a few days, okay?"

Jiang Kefan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, clearly eager to return. He nodded emphatically, "Okay! Fanfan will wait for Mom to come and take Fanfan home!"

Seeing her son so young yet so sensible brought tears to Jiang Hua's eyes.

Seeing Jiang Hua like this, Gu Yiming felt heartbroken but also a little jealous, since Jiang Hua rarely cried for him!

Just then, the doorbell rang. To hide her unusual behavior, Jiang Hua said to the computer, "Mom will go open the door. Let Dad talk to you for a bit. He'll come back and talk to you later." Then she ran off quickly.

Looking at his son, who seemed a little uneasy on the computer, Gu Yiming reluctantly asked, "Are you doing alright over there?"

Jiang Kefan was clearly a little nervous: "I'm fine."

Gu Yiming glanced at the books on his desk, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of something, saying, "You have a chance to get on good terms with your teacher."

Jiang Kefan asked, puzzled, "Teacher Xia? Why?"

Just as Gu Yiming was about to say something, Jiang Hua came over and told him that Jin Yu had arrived and asked him to go downstairs.
