Chapter 178 Could it be her son?
Xie Changning didn't even need an excuse to come to the Gu family.
A few days ago, she had just introduced Gu Huaijin and Su Qingwan to each other. The two had already met. As a matchmaker, it was only right for her to ask what the Gu family meant.
Is Gu Huaijin interested in Qingwan?
Although Qingwan had already rejected Gu Huaijin, that was only what they said in private, and they had to let the elders of both families know the truth.
The Gu family had been waiting, and Mrs. Gu was very happy that Xie Changning could come.
Yesterday, when she went to bring supper to her son, she accidentally saw a new portrait in the study. It was a painting of the fairy in the moon. The only pity was that the fairy in the painting had no facial features, only an outline.
This is the first time in history.
She was shocked.
Could it be that the stubborn person in my family has finally come to his senses?
She knew without thinking, who else could it be because of except Miss Su?
She was so impatient to marry Miss Su that she looked forward to seeing Xie Changning every day. She had originally planned that if Xie Changning didn't come after a day or two, she would pay him a visit.
My son, a stubborn boy, finally came to his senses. As a mother, I can't let him hold me back. I have to fight for him no matter what.
She has been busy these days and has already prepared the betrothal gifts.
Just waiting to propose to the Su family.
Xie Changning could clearly feel that this time when she came to the Gu family, Mrs. Gu was even more enthusiastic than last time, which was enough to show Gu Huaijin's feelings for Qingwan.
If he had no interest in Qingwan.
Mrs. Gu, as a mother, would never look like this.
However, Mrs. Gu was not in a hurry and asked what the Su family meant. She waited until she had drunk half a cup of tea before she spoke.
What else could Xie Changning say?
Sister Xu is absolutely satisfied with Gu Huaijin.
"There's a saying that goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. That's how Sister Xu feels about Huai Jin. Ever since she met him, she's been full of praise for him."
The two were talking when a green figure walked in.
Who else could it be but Gu Huaijin?
As soon as he appeared, Xie Changning's eyes fell on him.
Could this be her son?
She couldn't help but get excited and couldn't wait to verify it.
She missed her son so much.
It can be said that I think about it day and night.
Want to know if he is really still alive and how he is doing?
"Greetings, Madam Shen!" Gu Huaijin calmly bowed to Xie Changning. Even though he hid it very well, his slightly stiff back still revealed his inner nervousness.
It can be seen that he cares very much about the Su family's opinion of him.
"Don't be so polite." Even though she knew that he had just heard what she said, Xie Changning still gave him a reassurance, "Huai Jin is so outstanding, Sister Xu is naturally very satisfied with him."
She paused, "It's just... Qingwan..."
Gu Huaijin's heart suddenly hung in the air.
He was not afraid that Su Qingwan would reject him.
What he was afraid of was that he had no chance at all.
"But Miss Su, don't you like this brat?" Mrs. Gu suddenly became nervous. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and stared at Xie Changning.
Xie Changning paused for a moment, "That's not the case, it's just that Qingwan's situation is a little special. Can I have a few words with Huaijin alone?"
For the sake of her son's lifelong affairs, how could Mrs. Gu refuse?
"I'll go see why the pastries in the kitchen are not ready yet!" She made up an excuse and turned around and left with the old woman and maid beside her, leaving the front hall to them.
As soon as they left, Gu Huaijin bowed and said, "Madam, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak."
Xie Changning gave Mother Du a look without any expression.
Mother Du knew that it was her turn to take the stage soon.
"Is Mr. Gu interested in Qingwan?" Not to mention that Sister Xu was still waiting for the letter, she was more responsible for Qingwan, so even though she had already seen that he was interested in Qingwan, she still had to ask clearly.
"Yes!" Gu Huaijin answered decisively, "I admire Miss Su."
Xie Changning looked relieved, then she changed the subject, "It might not be easy for Qingwan to accept you. Are you mentally prepared?"
Gu Huaijin answered frankly, "To be honest, Madam, I have already made the worst-case scenario plan. Even if I give my all, I still can't impress Miss Su. This only means that I haven't tried hard enough. I haven't been able to make Miss Su open her heart to me, let alone make her trust me wholeheartedly."
"But I will never give up."
"Unless one day, Miss Su tells me in person that she has found a man she loves, then I will sincerely bless her."
He has an upright appearance, just like a modest gentleman.
Xie Changning had a feeling that he would succeed in impressing Qingwan in the end.
In the relationship between men and women, sincerity is always the greatest killer skill.
"I feel relieved with your words!" Xie Changning nodded. She looked at Gu Huaijin's right wrist intentionally or unintentionally, but saw nothing.
She saw that the teacup in front of her was empty.
Mother Du picked up the teapot and was about to pour tea for her.
Xie Changning flicked his sleeve and swept the teacup beside him to the ground.
"Oh! Madam, are you okay?" Mother Du hurried forward to clean up, holding the teapot in one hand.
Madam Gu took the old woman and maid away, leaving only a few servants guarding outside.
As they were guests, how could Gu Huaijin just sit back and watch?
"Mom, let me clean it up! I won't hurt you." He bent down to pick up the debris on the ground.
"Mr. Gu, this can't be done. Let me do it!" Mother Du was a little flustered, and the teapot in her hand accidentally hit Gu Huaijin.
Unfortunately, she bumped into Gu Huaijin's right arm.
The warm tea spilled all over his sleeves.
"It's all my fault. Mr. Gu didn't get burned, did he?" Mother Du looked extremely guilty.
"Don't worry, Mom. It's okay." Gu Huaijin didn't take it to heart at all.
"If I don't take a look at it myself, I'm afraid I won't feel at ease." Mother Du was terrified and stared at his wet sleeves.
Gu Huaijin smiled and lifted his sleeves, "Mom, you can see clearly, I'm really fine."
For a moment, Xie Changning's heart was in her throat, and she stared at Gu Huaijin's right wrist.
