Liu Xiaolian didn't expect that Gu's mother's attitude would be like this. It was completely different from what she had expected when she came!
Besides, Gu's mother's attitude towards her was not like this usually. What happened today?
Could it be that he had a fight with Gu Yanting?
Then she can’t say those things about her mother anymore!
After all, there are no parents who are not wrong in the world. If she said anything about her mother, it is possible that Mother Gu would have a bad impression of her!
Liu Xiaolian swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, but she hadn't thought about what to say next.
There was no other way, so Liu Xiaolian could only explain while sobbing:
"Aunt Gu, I didn't think too much about it, it's just..."
At this point, Liu Xiaolian pretended that she couldn't continue speaking. She slightly turned her face to the side and lowered her head to reveal her beaten cheek and her torn cotton jacket, looking pitiful.
Normally, whenever Liu Xiaolian acted like this, Gu's mother would definitely comfort her with a look of heartache!
Liu Xiaolian pursed her lips, waiting for Mother Gu's comfort!
But today, Gu's mother was exceptionally calm. No matter how pitiful other people's children were, that was caused by their parents. It had nothing to do with her, and even less to do with her son.
Normally, she could lend a hand, but when it came to her own son, Mother Gu was quite sober and clear-headed. She looked at Liu Xiaolian deeply and said:
"Is that so? I'll talk to your mother later and ask her not to be too harsh on you. I have something else to do at home today. Xiaolian, you should go back first!"
Liu Xiaolian raised her head in astonishment and said in disbelief:
"Aunt Gu, can I, can I, can I..."
Mother Gu said unhappily:
"Xiao Lian, do you have anything else to say? Or are you afraid to go home? If it really doesn't work, I'll call the street office where you live and ask them to help you talk to your mother!"
Now Liu Xiaolian saw the expression on Gu's mother's face and knew that she was angry with her.
Liu Xiaolian thought for a long time but couldn't find out what was wrong. Could it be because the New Year was approaching and the Gu family cared about this?
Knowing that she would not be able to get any good results this year, Liu Xiaolian gritted her teeth and was about to say goodbye when she heard a deep young male voice saying:
"Mom, what time do we leave? I'll tell Uncle Li to come pick us up!"
Liu Xiaolian was thin and small, and she kept her head down, so Gu Yanting didn't notice her.
When Liu Xiaolian heard this voice, her eyes lit up and she immediately wiped her face and said:
"Brother Gu is back, I don't like him. I feel embarrassed to come to see him empty-handed!"
Hearing this, Gu Yanting frowned slightly. He was not sick or injured, so what did he take?
Besides, he doesn't even know this girl, why would she come to see him!
Gu Yanting glanced at his mother, signaling her with his eyes to tell her who this was!
Liu Xiaolian also looked at Gu's mother with anticipation, hoping that Gu's mother would formally introduce herself and Gu Yanting.
Mother Gu glared at Gu Yanting and did not introduce the two people. Instead, she changed the subject and said:
"Go call and arrange a car. I have something else to do. We'll leave when the car arrives. Your grandfather is waiting for you!"
Gu Yanting originally wanted to say hello out of politeness. Since Gu's mother didn't want him to say hello, he was happy to be at ease. He agreed and went to call to arrange a car!
When Liu Xiaolian saw that Gu's mother did not introduce herself to Gu Yanting, her face visibly turned worse.
She knew that the care and kindness that Gu's mother usually showed towards her were all fake, and she still looked down on her in her heart!
But what does it matter if they look down on her? She just wants to marry Gu Yanting, marry into the Gu family, and let everyone look up to her.
So even though Gu's mother had given her such an obvious order to leave, Liu Xiaolian had no intention of leaving.
She just stood there pretending to be uneasy, thinking that Gu Yanting would come out soon and see her. Maybe if Gu Yanting sympathized with her, they would get in touch.
The Gu family doesn't live far from where Old Man Gu lives. If it weren't for the need to pick up a few boxes of things sent by Lin Manman, there would be no need to ask Old Man to drive over.
So, less than ten minutes after Gu Yanting finished the call, Lao Li drove over.
Coming with Lao Li was another uninvited guest, Zhang Yueying.
Zhang Yueying's family always pays attention to the Gu family's developments, so they already knew that Gu Yanting had returned last night.
Thinking that Gu Yanting would definitely visit Grandpa Gu when he came back, Zhang Yueying went to Grandpa Gu early this morning!
As soon as she heard that they were going to Gu’s house to pick up Gu Yanting, Zhang Yueying insisted on coming by car!
As soon as Zhang Yueying entered the Gu family, she said in a very familiar manner:
"Aunt Gu, I just heard that Brother Yan Ting is back, so I rushed over? I haven't seen Brother Yan Ting for several years!"
Gu's mother kept urging Liu Xiaolian left and right, but Liu Xiaolian seemed not to understand and just refused to leave. It was very annoying!
Who would have thought that instead of sending this one away, another one would be convened. Mother Gu pinched her brows and said:
"Yue Ying is here, the New Year is coming soon, isn't your family busy?"
Zhang Yueying didn't expect Gu's mother to say this, and she didn't know how to continue. Fortunately, the Gu family had not been enthusiastic about her in recent years, and she had gotten used to it. Zhang Yueying smiled and explained:
"My house is fine. My two sisters-in-law are at home, busy with work. I was worried that there was something that needed to be done at grandpa's place, so I went to grandpa's place early in the morning!"
There is nothing for Grandpa Gu to do. He has Mrs. Li at home who takes care of his daily life. She and the driver, Mr. Li, are a couple and are very considerate in taking care of Grandpa Gu!
But Zhang Yueying was a girl after all, so Mother Gu didn't like her very much and couldn't give her face, so she just responded:
"That's great. If you need any help, just go home and help. There's nothing for you to worry about with the old man!"
Zhang Yueying didn't respond, she just said coquettishly:
"I know grandpa has everything he needs, but brother Yan Ting and his family are never at home. I'll go spend more time with grandpa, and that'll be my way of showing filial piety on behalf of brother Yan Ting!"
What she said was just short of saying that she and Gu Yanting were a family!
Gu's mother couldn't confront her because she wasn't showing filial piety to Gu Yanting as his girlfriend. If she confronted her, she would just expose the whole thing!
Don’t think that just because she brought it up, the Zhang family will give up the idea!
In order to get close to Gu Yanting, the Zhang family resorted to all shameless means!
Mother Gu was just about to change the subject, to stop her from calling him Brother Yan Ting all the time, as if something was going on.
Then Zhang Yueying frowned and looked at Liu Xiaolian and said:
"Liu Xiaolian, why are you here? It's almost Chinese New Year, why are you not helping your mother queue up for food? What are you doing at Aunt Gu's house?"
"Oh, you're dressed like a beggar. Don't you know you should dress respectably when visiting someone's home? I forgot, you've only been in elementary school for two years, you don't know what respectability means!"
"What I mean is, when you go to someone else's house, at least don't wear clothes that have cotton leaking everywhere. How come your cotton is so black? It must be dirty!"
