Gu Zhinian ignored Li Guiying's farce and quickly left this place of trouble to avoid shifting the blame to others as happened last time. This person was just a trouble maker.
The mother and daughter were tired from shopping and stopped to rest in a cake shop. Gu Zhinian sat at a round table and drank water while her mother went to the counter to choose a small cake.
"There's strawberry cake!" Mrs. Gu said in surprise, "My precious daughter has loved eating strawberries since she was a child. Bring me a piece of strawberry cake."
The cake shop owner opened the glass cabinet door and took out a strawberry cake. "Children love strawberry cake."
Mother Gu took the strawberry cake with both hands, raised her chin towards Gu Zhinian, and showed off proudly.
"That's my daughter, isn't she beautiful?"
The boss looked at the long-haired beauty sitting by the window and praised her sincerely: "She is very beautiful. You are so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter."
"That's it!" Mother Gu raised her eyebrow and pointed at the yellow peach cake in the cupboard, "Get another piece of yellow peach cake."
"OK."
Mother Gu looked around and asked, "Is there any coffee in the store?"
The boss smiled apologetically and said, "No, we have tea. It's our own Pu'er tea. Would you like some?"
Mother Gu nodded.
"That's fine. Send me a pot. I want to drink tea with my daughter."
Mother Gu took two steps, frowned as she listened to the music playing in the store, and turned back, "Play some gentle music in the store, it goes well with the cake."
"Oh well."
The boss went to the tape recorder to change the disco music to a slow song, and then went to make a pot of tea. Gu's mother walked towards her daughter with two small cakes. Gu Zhinian hurriedly stood up and took the small cakes. Gu's mother sat opposite her.
"You must be tired after walking around for half a day."
"Not tired."
Mother Gu pushed the small cake towards her and said, "It's a strawberry cake. Try it and see if it's delicious. You loved eating strawberries when you were a child."
Gu Zhinian picked up a piece of strawberry with a small fork and put it in his mouth, his eyebrows curved, "It's delicious."
Mother Gu picked up the yellow peach from her cake and brought it to her mouth.
"Try this again."
Gu Zhinian was so old, but she still felt a little embarrassed to be fed by her mother. Her mother's eyes were shining, waiting for her daughter to open her mouth. Gu Zhinian couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she bit off the yellow peach on the fork in one bite.
"tasty!"
Seeing that her daughter was enjoying the meal, Mother Gu pushed her own piece of cake over to her.
"Then eat it all."
"No!" Gu Zhinian pushed back, "I can't eat so much. If I eat too much, my stomach will feel uncomfortable again."
Mother Gu took back the cake and said, "Okay then! Next time we come together, I'll give you some yellow peach cake."
"good."
Mother Gu really enjoys shopping and eating cake with her daughter, just like best friends. No, her relationship with her daughter is even closer than best friends.
The shop owner brought a pot of brewed tea. Gu Zhinian raised his hand to pick up the teapot, poured a cup for Gu's mother first, and then poured one for himself. The cake was too sweet. Gu Zhinian took a bite of cake and drank a sip of tea. It was good and refreshing. The tea and cake went well together.
The mother and daughter ate and talked. Mother Gu talked a lot about her daughter's childhood, trying to evoke her daughter's memory before she was three years old. Gu Zhinian had already had a vague memory of her childhood, and when she listened to her mother's stories, she felt both strange and familiar.
After eating the cake, the mother and daughter took a car home. There was a black car parked at the door. Mother Gu said in confusion,
"Whose car is this? We don't have one like this at home."
"Maybe there are guests." Gu Zhinian took her hand and walked in. As soon as they entered the yard, Han Li came out quickly, smiled and opened her arms to rush over.
"Zhi Nian, you're back! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Gu Zhinian looked at her in slight surprise, "Why are you here? Is the car at the door yours?"
Han Li nodded. "Zhou Zhichuan and your brother had business to discuss. When I heard about coming here, I asked Zhou Zhichuan to ask your brother if you were there. Your brother said you were there, so I came along!"
"Oh." Gu Zhinian introduced to her mother, "Mom, this is my friend, Han Li."
Han Li smiled and extended her hand, "Hello, Aunt Gu, I'm Han Li."
"Hello." Mother Gu smiled back politely, "Let Niannian chat with you. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes."
"Okay, go ahead, Auntie!"
Mother Gu nodded, and the driver followed with bags of things. Gu Zhinian held Han Li's hand and sat at the table in the pavilion.
"Sit down!"
Gu Zhinian pointed at the stone bench, and Han Li looked at her in surprise.
"I really can't tell that you are the daughter of the richest man in Hong Kong. Do I count myself as being with such a wealthy man like you? Miss, are you in need of a servant? Do you think I can do it?"
Gu Zhinian curled his lips and smiled faintly, "You are really exaggerating."
"I'm not exaggerating!" Han Li said, "Zhou Zhichuan's factory is just getting started. Why do you think your brother wants to cooperate with Zhou Zhichuan? It's because you and I are good friends. Just relying on this relationship has helped Zhou Zhichuan's career rise to a higher level. Isn't this just hanging out with a rich man?"
Gu Zhinian was helpless and amused. "My brother won't do business that loses money. This means Zhou Zhichuan's project is good and worth his investment. Don't drag me into this."
Han Li smiled and said, "You played a significant role in this. Because I know you, the Gu family has a good impression of me, and they also treat Zhou Zhichuan well. The Gu family really loves you."
Gu Zhinian's eyes were filled with happiness, and she looked radiant. Her family loved her, her mother-in-law loved her, her husband and son were great, and she had one or two close friends. Her life was worth it.
Little Tangyuan ran out of the house holding a toy, and a middle-aged nanny followed him carefully.
"Mom, you're back!"
Gu Zhinian opened her arms and hugged him. Little Tangyuan acted coquettishly in her mother's arms, "Mom! Mom!"
Gu Zhinian hugged him with a gentle look on his face, "Little Tangyuan, Aunt Han Li is here, call me aunt."
Little Tangyuan turned his big round eyes and looked at her, "Hello, Auntie."
Han Li leaned forward and reached out to touch his hair.
"My goodness, little Tangyuan is getting prettier and prettier! She's so adorable."
"If you like children so much, why don't you have one yourself?"
Gu Zhinian asked her, Han Li curled her lips,
"How can I give birth myself? Asexual reproduction?"
"Ah?" Gu Zhinian asked her softly, "You and Zhou Zhichuan didn't sleep together?"
Han Li shook her head indifferently. "No, we each have our own room. It's so comfortable. But every weekend I have to go back to my in-laws' house, so we have to sleep in the same room. However, I sleep on the bed and he sleeps on the floor."
Gu Zhinian asked tentatively, "Zhou Zhichuan is good-looking, has a good family background, and is rich. Would you consider turning the fake into the real thing?"
Han Li said in confusion:
"I've had this thought before. I even dressed extra sexy at night and tried to seduce him. But guess what he did? He threw a thick blanket over me and told me to stay warm because it was cold. Oh my god, it was summer, and I was freezing! Since then, I've never tried to seduce him again. Whatever he wants, I'm not losing out anyway. It's two thousand yuan a month, and I've saved a lot. When I save enough, I'll divorce him and stop playing around!"
