Chapter 49: Alone
"Mom, do you think it's possible?" Xie Tingzhou said slowly.
When Huo Shu heard him say that, he knew he was overthinking it. "Well, the main reason is that the child really looks like you when you were a child."
"It's just a resemblance, what does that mean?" said Xie Tingzhou.
Now that he had the answer, Huo Shu didn't have to dwell on it any more. He nodded and said, "Yeah, you're right."
She paused, then suddenly thought of something, her face darkening instantly. "By the way, Tingzhou, please take care of your brother. He's been studying abroad for five years and hasn't come back yet."
"I don't know what's so good about staying abroad. I called him and he hung up after a few words. He doesn't listen to anything I say, but he listens to you. You should talk to him again and ask him to come back quickly. Do you not want to go home anymore?"
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. If she hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it. Now he could come back. "Okay, I'll send him a message and tell him about it."
"Yeah." Huo Shu responded.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyelashes, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, and tapped the screen of the phone slowly with his slender fingers, sending a message to someone.
【You can come back now.】
Within a few seconds, the other party replied.
Xie Wang: [!!!]
Xie Wang: [Brother, you're kidding me, I can really come back?!]
Xie Tingzhou: [Yes.]
Xie Wang: [It’s been five years. Have you finally remembered me? Are you finally willing to forgive me? Wuuuuuuuuu…]
Xie Tingzhou: [Get lost.]
Xie Wang: [Alright, brother, I'll be right back!]
Xie Tingzhou put away his phone, looked up at Huo Shu across from him, and said, "I told you, he'll be back in the next two days."
"Sure enough, it takes your presence to be effective." Huo Shu shook his head helplessly, "That brat, I'll give him a taste of his own medicine when he comes back."
Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything. He reached out and picked up the tea that the servant had just brought over, skimmed off the foam, and lowered his head to drink.
......
Jiang Ruyun knew that Gu Yu would come over after school, so she asked the servants to ask the chef to prepare two dishes that Gu Yu liked and send them over so that they could eat together.
As soon as the servant brought the meal, Gu Yu arrived.
"Mom, sister."
Jiang Ruyun raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Ayu is here, it's a good time to have dinner together."
"Huh?" Gu Yu noticed the several insulated lunch boxes on the coffee table. "Did you take mine?"
Jiang Ruyun helped Li Zhi prepare her meal. "Yes, your sister told me that you would come over after school, so I asked the chef at home to make two more dishes that you like and send them over together."
Gu Yu nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, then he and Li Yanjing who was sitting next to him opened the thermos lunch box and took out the food inside.
After Jiang Ruyun came over, they started eating together, chatting and laughing.
After finishing his meal and helping to clean up the lunch boxes, Gu Yu looked at Li Zhi who was leisurely eating fruit on the bed, then glanced at Jiang Ruyun who was playing with Li Yanjing on the other side, and then took out his cell phone from his pocket.
He opened WeChat, clicked on the chat interface with Li Zhi, tapped the screen quickly with his fingers, and sent her a message.
[Sister, does Mom know about your live fortune-telling? ]
Li Zhi heard the message notification tone, picked up the phone, raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "I don't know. Don't tell them about this for now, and don't tell Gu Yanran either."
Gu Yu: [Okay, no problem, I'll keep it a secret for you!]
Li Zhi: [Well, whatever you want to calculate, I will calculate it for you now.]
Gu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sister, summer vacation is only a week away. Can you help me calculate whether I can pass all the subjects in the final exam?"
Li Zhi: [No.]
Gu Yu: [……]
Gu Yu: [No, no, I'd better try another one. This one doesn't seem to count. I know in my heart that I can't pass all of them...]
Li Zhi: [Add another thousand.]
Gu Yu scratched his hair, [But I suddenly can't think of what I should be...]
Li Zhi: [Then come back to me when you think of something. Remember to transfer the money from that divination to me.]
Gu Yu immediately transferred two thousand to her, "Okay, I'll save it for now. I'll come back to you when I think of it."
Li Zhi confirmed the payment and said, "OK."
Just as Gu Yu was about to put away his phone, it suddenly rang. It was Gu Yanran calling him.
After the call was connected, "Hello, sister."
"Ayu, why haven't you come back yet? Is something wrong at school today?" Gu Yanran asked worriedly.
"Oh, no, I came to the hospital and forgot to tell you." Gu Yu replied.
Gu Yanran frowned. "Is that so? Then when will you come back? I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
"Sister, you don't have to wait for me. Eat by yourself. I just had dinner with mom and others in the hospital." Gu Yu said.
Gu Yanran tightened her grip on the phone, her expression a little grim. "Okay, then don't stay too late, come back early."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Yu responded.
Gu Yanran nodded and hung up the phone.
…
Gu family villa.
Gu Yanran looked at the table full of food expressionlessly, without any appetite at all.
Gu Yuntian called back at the last minute and said he had to attend a dinner party and would not be back for dinner.
Gu Yu had already eaten with Li Zhi, Jiang Ruyun and others at the hospital and had not returned yet.
At this moment, she was the only one sitting alone at the table.
Gu Yanran clenched the chopsticks in her hand so tightly that she almost broke them. She was now a laughing stock that no one cared about.
They are all Li Zhi.
If it weren't for her, Jiang Ruyun and Gu Yu would have dinner with her now.
Gu Yanran took a deep breath, ate a few bites, then dropped her chopsticks and left the restaurant.
She returned to her room, took out her cell phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Gu Yu.
【Ayu, are you back? 】
After a few minutes, Gu Yu finally replied, "Not yet, what's wrong, sis?"
Gu Yanran pursed her lips and said, "It's okay. I just wanted to ask why you didn't tell me you were going to see your sister today. Otherwise, I would have gone there too."
Gu Yu: [I forgot. Sorry, sister.]
Gu Yanran: [It's okay. I heard from mom that my sister will be discharged from the hospital in two days.]
Gu Yu: [Really? I don’t know yet.]
Gu Yanran: [Mom just told me today that I can clean up my sister and Yanjing's rooms in the next two days so they can stay comfortably when they come home.]
Gu Yu: [Sister, just let the servants do these things.]
Gu Yanran: [Sister's return home is a big deal, so it's best if I come in person. Please ask Sister and Yanjing what kind of room they prefer. This will also show how much we value their return home.]
Gu Yu: [Okay, I’ll ask for you now.]
Gu Yanran: [Yeah, it’s getting late. You have to go to school tomorrow, so come back early.]
Gu Yu: [I know, I'll be back soon.]
Gu Yanran turned off the screen of her phone, and her hand holding the phone gradually tightened, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
When the mother and son come back, she will not let them live so comfortably. It would be best if she could drive them out.
