Chapter 248 The Biological Mother's "Partner"
The mother, daughter, and Daiyu chatted and laughed in the private room, and after a simple meal, they planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into a wealthy woman as she went out. Han Ximan was protecting her daughter and didn't see her, so she bumped into her.
The woman seemed very dissatisfied; the two had only bumped into each other slightly, and she immediately became unhappy.
"Who is it? Are you blind? Can't you watch where you're going?"
As he spoke, he patted his clothes and bag with a look of disgust.
It's as if it's been stained with something dirty.
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Han Ximan frowned.
I never imagined the world was so small. We were all in Kyoto, yet we still managed to see it.
However, this was not her fault to begin with, so Han Ximan is not the kind of person who lets others bully her.
He immediately looked up at the other person.
"It looks like you bumped into us, right? There's a pregnant woman here. Will you take responsibility if something happens?"
When Han Ximan looked up at the woman opposite her, the woman also saw her.
The moment their eyes met, the woman's face clearly showed surprise, but Lu Wanxing could still see a hint of guilt and nervousness in her eyes.
It seems that Ms. Han knows this person.
I just don't know what kind of entanglement these two have that would make the woman on the other side so guilty...
Taking advantage of the fact that she was wearing a mask and a hat, Lu Wanxing glanced at the woman a few more times.
Upon hearing Han Ximan's words, the other party's tone instantly turned sharp.
"I'll take responsibility. What does it have to do with me? You can't blame others for not walking properly yourself."
After speaking, the lady looked at Lu Wanxing's protruding belly with disdain, and then looked at Han Ximan.
"But you haven't had a single man by your side all these years, have you? That's pathetic. We're both married and have several kids..."
After saying that, she covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.
Lu Wanxing could clearly feel that her mother's hand, which was supporting her, stiffened for a moment, and she could even feel that her grip on her tightened a bit.
It seems there really is a grudge.
"So you got married? No wonder you look much older than my mom. My aunt said my mom is pitiful, but I don't think so. She's still so beautiful and charming. She's much better than those married women who waste their lives in their marriages."
After Lu Wanxing finished speaking, she looked at Han Ximan.
"Mom, don't you think so?"
Han Ximan had a faint smile on her lips, but after hearing Lu Wanxing's words, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, yes, my daughter is so perceptive. Marriage really does make a difference. Judging from your expression, aunt, your marriage is probably not very happy. We can understand that."
The mother and daughter's back-and-forth banter left the woman speechless, and she was so angry that her chest heaved.
Lu Wanxing's lips curled slightly, only to hear the other person continue to mock her relentlessly: "Yes, they're still not as good as you. But you're really pathetic. Didn't you used to have men swooning over you? What's wrong? You say you're still young, so why don't any men want you anymore?"
Yan Yajun's mouth is indeed sharp; sometimes, if she finds a point, she can leave people speechless.
Just as Lu Wanxing was about to say a few words for her mother, she heard a voice behind her.
"Xiao Man?"
The group turned around and saw the man striding towards them with his long legs.
Lu Wanxing: ? ? ?
Who is this handsome middle-aged man?
Then she heard her mother call out gently, "Gu Zhou, you're here for dinner too?"
"Yes, we came with a few partners. What brings you here...?"
Gu Zhou looked at the scene in front of him with curiosity.
"It's nothing, I just got bumped into by accident."
Han Ximan suddenly became gentle and soft-spoken, which made Lu Wanxing's somewhat sluggish senses start to react.
Could this man in front of her be the one her mother mentioned earlier... the one who's pursuing her?
"Is everything alright?" She could tell that the man seemed very worried about Han Ximan.
Yan Yajun's expression kept changing from the moment the man started speaking.
My first impression of this man was that he was incredibly handsome; my second impression was that he was shocked by his attitude towards Han Ximan.
At first glance, this person looks familiar...
She sensed a menacing aura emanating from the man.
So he immediately said, "Since it's all a misunderstanding, I won't hold it against you."
After saying that, he ran away.
Han Ximan hadn't even reacted yet.
I just heard that she got married, and it reminded me of what happened back then. I feel a little dazed.
However, my thoughts were quickly pulled back.
Gu Zhou looked at her gently and asked softly, "Aren't you going to introduce me to them?"
"Oh? This is my daughter, Lu Wanxing, and this is my daughter's friend, Daiyu."
Hello.
Gu Zhou always maintained a humble and polite demeanor, like a refined gentleman.
However, this kind of temperament is different from Han Xiulin's, which still has a roguish charm. This person has more of a refined and mature quality.
His refined and composed demeanor seemed to be etched into his very being.
However, Lu Wanxing could tell that this was mostly a mask. This refined and elegant demeanor was like a mask that was worn on the face for a long time, making it difficult for people to tell the truth from the falsehood.
The sharp look in this man's eyes suggests he's not a simple person.
Otherwise, her mother probably wouldn't have considered it.
Lu Wanxing thought to herself, but still greeted the person.
"Mom, you and Uncle Gu can chat for a while, we'll head back now."
Han Ximan wanted to refuse, but to her surprise, Gu Zhou asked Lu Wanxing, "Do you need me to take you back?"
"No need, thank you Uncle Gu."
After Lu Wanxing finished speaking, she nodded and left.
Han Ximan could only stay where she was, watching Gu Zhou. Gu Zhou watched Lu Wanxing's departing figure and asked in a low voice, "Is this the child from back then?"
"yes."
“Our child is so grown up now, and we are getting older.”
He made a seemingly unintentional remark.
Han Ximan suddenly laughed.
"Looking like you, people would believe you're thirty. Aren't young girls throwing themselves at you one after another?"
"You know, that's not what I want."
Gu Zhou said in a low voice.
Han Ximan's expression stiffened for a moment before returning to normal.
"Let's go for a walk, we just finished eating."
The two walked together like an old married couple.
Lu Wanxing got into the car, and Daiyu finally spoke up, saying, "Xingxing, could this be Auntie's man?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
Just from that aura, you can tell he's no ordinary person.
"Looks like you're going to have a stepfather."
