Chapter 478: The Rural Woman in Power Coveted by the Powerful (42)

On the other side of the room, the slightly younger lady looked a little uneasy. She carefully handed a cup of tea to the older lady and said softly, "Mom, have some tea."

Her voice was also very soft, and she didn't dare to say much.

At this moment, there was a slight "beep" sound, which was the sound of the electric ward door being pushed open.

Gu Chenzhou, who was originally typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped, and his fingertips left a white mark on the Delete key.

His gaze quickly shifted from the computer screen to the door, and his originally slightly indifferent eyes softened in an instant, like a pool of spring water.

His eyes were fixed on the person who came, with a burning feeling of having lost and regained something.

The floor-to-ceiling window behind him let in the morning light, making the figure of the person coming appear particularly clear.

The warm sunlight fell on her, as if she had been covered with a layer of golden gauze. The cashmere shawl slipped off her shoulders, like a white magnolia kissed by morning frost.

Such an obvious change made Mrs. Gu, who thought she knew her son very well, stunned for a moment.

Ever since Gu Chenzhou woke up, Mrs. Gu had never seen him so relaxed and comfortable.

His attitude towards her was always cold, even with a hint of dominance, which made Mrs. Gu start to doubt whether she had really done something wrong.

However, her pride as a lifelong noble lady made her unable to swallow her pride, and she could only watch her son become estranged from her.

But now, his son, who had always been calm, composed and organized, could hardly contain his excitement the moment he saw the person coming.

The profile of her face, which was originally as cold and hard as iron, now had a faint blush on the cheekbones, and her face relaxed, like an ice surface gently touched by the spring breeze, gradually melting.

If the doctor hadn't explicitly forbidden him to do so, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed so quickly.

Mrs. Gu felt that Gu Chenzhou was about to pounce on her.

But even so, he immediately put down the work that he had been doing since he woke up.

It was a look of affection that Madam Gu and Madam Yan had never seen before.

"Awu..."

It is an extreme longing.

It is the weight of life.

Mrs. Gu's heart suddenly shook, and her expression instantly became dazed.

To be honest, this was the first time they witnessed Gu Chenzhou's attitude towards Qing Wu, and the shock brought by seeing it with their own eyes was far stronger than any words could express.

Just such a simple name is enough to make people understand Gu Chenzhou's deep affection for Qingwu.

It can be imagined that Gu Chenzhou cherishes this girl so much, it's true——

Place her in the softest and most precious place in your heart.

No matter what this girl has been through, no matter what she has done...

He is always consistent.

"Why don't you wear more clothes?" Gu Chenzhou's eyes fell on Qingwu's exposed ankles, and his brows frowned slightly.

Mrs. Gu had never heard him speak in such a special tone. It not only contained tenderness and anxiety, but also seemed to hide a hint of imperceptible panic, like a child who was afraid that his beloved treasure would suddenly break.

Mrs. Yan wanted to call her son, but when she saw his guardian-like posture, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She looked at her son Yan Lili standing in front of the ward door. His well-tailored suit outlined the thinness of a young man that had not yet completely faded, but he greeted the charming figure with a stern attitude that was inconsistent with his age.

The light in Yan Lili's eyes was too hot, mixed with guilt and unwillingness, like frozen magma.

While seemingly calm on the surface, there is a tremendous amount of energy and emotion underneath.

When Madam Yan subconsciously wanted to call out his name, his sudden glance made her throat feel like it was tightly strangled by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

That was definitely not the cold look in her eyes that she was familiar with, like a glass cup. Instead, it was like an ice spike soaked in poison, hiding a kind of madness of "rather die with honor".

It is a sinister feeling that he will never give up, his lifelong obsession, and the madness that makes him willing to give everything for it.

Her son seems...

Grow up.

Mrs. Yan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and her thoughts suddenly drifted back to the time when she named Yan Lili.

Powerful families like theirs tend to care more about superstitious things.

Their family often invites some highly respected masters with whom they have worked for a long time to give names to their children to ward off disasters when they are born, and they also ask the masters to predict the children's fortunes.

When Yan Lili was born, the master asserted that Yan Lili was a very stubborn person at heart.

He is indeed a child of destiny, possessing gifts and talents that others cannot match, but he also has...

A soul more crazy and stubborn than anyone else.

This stubbornness will become a flaw in his almost perfect character, which may bring both good and bad consequences.

As for what will happen in the end, it depends on how Yan Lili himself uses it and how he interprets it.

Because of this, the original name of Yan Jue Li was "Jue", but later it was changed to "Jue".

The word "珛" represents jade with flaws.

The reason why I gave the child this name was to fight poison with poison, so that this flaw would only exist in the name.

Just like many children who are given rough names, thinking that they are easy to raise.

As expected, in the past twenty years, Yan Lili has demonstrated near-perfect performance in every aspect.

He can be said to be the most outstanding heir of the Yan family. Both his learning ability and his way of dealing with people are first-class.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never encountered any problems, and everything seems to be going incredibly smoothly.

He won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad at the age of fifteen, took over the European branch of Yan's at the age of eighteen, and refuted all opposing votes in three hours at the board meeting at the age of twenty, as calm as a precision instrument.

This series of achievements not only put Mrs. Yan, who had always been a little worried about him, at ease, but also made her firmly believe that the name was just right.

Because the banquet ceremony has become perfect and there is no flaw at all.

But, are there really flawless people in the world?

The answer is obviously no.

It was after Yan Lili came of age, or more precisely, after he met Qing Wu, that Mrs. Yan finally realized that her son was not as perfect as she had thought.

She finally understood where her son's madness and stubbornness came from.

All those things that she once thought would never happen to Yan Lili were revealed one by one in the process of his interactions with Qing Wu.
