A well-dressed lady sat on the sofa in the living room. Her earlobes and wrists were adorned with precious jade ornaments that were worth a lot of money. Her movements and demeanor were full of arrogance.

The servant beside her lowered his head and placed the freshly brewed flower tea in front of her.

The fragrance of the scented tea rose from the cup along with the hot steam. Shi's mother reached out, picked up the cup from the white porcelain coaster, lowered her head and took a sip of the hot tea, making an elegant gesture of savoring the tea.

A few servants greeted "Young Master" from the living room door.

"Mother."

A man in a black shirt and trousers walked in, speaking in a low, calm voice.

Gu Yun nervously grasped the straps of her small shoulder bag with both hands, walked out from behind Shi Xuan, and pursed her lips. No matter how many times she had imagined perfect preparations in her mind, when the time came, she still couldn't hold it together and could only shout out stiffly and awkwardly.

"Hello, auntie."

“I’m back.”

Shi's mother put down the cup in her hand, looked up, and smiled at her son, looking like a mother who was kind to her son whom she had not seen for a long time. She seemed to be a gentle and easy-going person.

But he didn't even spare a glance at the woman standing next to his son.

He treated her as if she were air and simply ignored her greetings, as if he didn't hear them.

Gu Yun's face immediately turned pale with embarrassment.

“…”

The servants in the entire living room didn't dare to make a sound, because the lady's calm appearance at this moment was a complete sign of impending storm.

Everyone knows that the young master has a girlfriend of extremely ordinary status.

In fact, the lady has known about this matter for a long time.

The eldest young master took his girlfriend to various gatherings and occasions where children from wealthy families gathered, and his girlfriend also followed suit, going in and out of countless luxury stores and fashion shows, and then posting updates on all her social media platforms, making the Shi family's eldest young master's girlfriend act very high-profile and proud.

The lady turned a blind eye and did not interfere.

After all, it was just a 'girlfriend', a minor quarrel, a harmless matter.

But no matter how much they thought about it, no one expected that the eldest young master would bring someone to the main house during the family dinner.

Shi's mother was so angry that she had a heart attack.

I originally thought that my son's girlfriend would be someone who knows what's best for the times, and that they could have a normal relationship, but that was all.

There is a forbidden area ahead, and you cannot cross it.

But who would have thought that not only had she always been eager to take it further, but she also took such a big step, which shows how huge her ambition is.

How could Shi's mother possibly have a good face towards Gu Yun?

The atmosphere was tense for a while.

Especially Gu Yun, who was humiliated on the spot, felt so embarrassed that she felt ashamed and her heart was almost twisted with anger.

But she looked at the man beside her helplessly and hesitantly. She knew what she would face when she came to the main house today, and she was determined to come here in order to live the life of a rich wife in the future. But at this moment, she looked very embarrassed and asked the man for help.

"...Ah Xuan."

Then, she succeeded.

Shi Xuan gave Gu Yun a soothing look, then looked at Shi's mother helplessly and reminded her, "Mother."

When Shi's mother saw Gu Yun's little action, her disgust towards this woman instantly increased. Her face darkened and her tone was unusually cold: "Xiaoxuan, do you know what you are doing?"

Shi Xuan explained calmly: "I just brought Xiaoyun here for a meal."

Mother Shi's voice suddenly rose, and she asked her son in disbelief, "It's just a meal?!"

"It seems that everything I said to you before has fallen on deaf ears, right?!"

Shi's mother thought that she could not continue to let the situation develop like this and leave it alone. She had been too careless before.

The hand wearing the jade bracelet waved impatiently, not wanting to look at it again: "Find the driver, send this woman away quickly, make her disappear from my sight."

Gu Yun didn't expect Shi's mother's reaction to be so bad. She panicked and grabbed Shi Xuan's arm.

Shi Xuan's originally peaceful voice also became solemn. He scolded the servant who was about to run to find the driver, and then turned around and said, "Mother? What are you doing?"

Gu Yun followed the situation and said to Shi's mother in a low voice, "Aunt, I, I don't know what I did wrong to make you treat me like this..."

How could a lady who had worked hard in the circle of aristocratic families not see this? Shi's mother looked down at Gu Yunyan with cold eyes and said mercilessly:

"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to call me aunt?" A cold look flashed across Mother Shi's eyes: "With you? Are you worthy?"

"If you are sensible, don't bother Xiaoxuan again."

Shi's mother didn't want to waste any more time and just wanted to cut the Gordian knot.

Having said that.

Her attitude towards Gu Yun was laid out so clearly and straightforwardly, and there was no room for maneuver.

In the huge living room, the atmosphere seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice.

The stalemate continues.

The air seemed to become thinner.

A faint cat's meow broke the deadlock.

In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look.

In the back hall, a girl with red lips and white teeth was holding a cat in her arms, walking towards this side slowly and lazily.

For a moment, everyone's attention was caught. -The first thing Sheng Yuan did when she got home was to look for her baby.

But as soon as he entered the room, he heard the servant say that Shi Yan had been called away by Old Man Shi and was still in the study.

Sheng Yuan was bored, so she carried Lai Lai to the back garden to bask in the sun, and only brought the cat into the house when it was almost time.

Just came in.

I noticed an eerily quiet atmosphere.

look up.

Sheng Yuan paused, looked at the scene in front of her, and then raised her eyebrows slightly in understanding.

“…”

She felt quite familiar with this scene.

——Shi Xuan took it upon himself to bring Gu Yun to the main house, which naturally made Shi's mother unhappy. How could Shi's mother tolerate such a delusional and daydreaming woman clinging to her son and stepping into the threshold of the Shi family? She immediately asked Shi Xuan to completely break up with Gu Yun.

Gu Yun cried out of grievance. Shi Xuan held her in his arms and kept comforting her. He turned to Shi's mother and said coldly and firmly that he would never separate from Xiao Yun.

The two of them looked like a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks about to be separated by a bad guy.

And this 'evil person' does not only refer to the Goddess of Time.

Also includes Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan was happy to see Shi's mother embarrass Gu Yun. She stood beside Shi's mother, proudly holding the lady's arm, looking like a spoiled young lady who had won the victory.

As a result, Gu Yun seemed weaker and had more difficulty taking steps. She looked so pitiful, which made Shi Xuan feel even more guilty towards her and increased his disgust for Sheng Yuan.
