He shrank back, grabbed his wife, and ran away.
forecourt.
Having overheard the entire conversation in the backyard, Gu Guanhai lowered his head and chuckled softly.
Stepfather?
He likes it.
After the three children left, Yu Mingxiang was left alone in the house.
She shook her head and smiled bitterly.
She lost her husband before she turned thirty and became a widow at a young age.
At first, many people advised her to remarry, but she refused for the sake of her three children. Later, as the children grew up, she lost even more interest in remarrying. Now…
Having lived two lives, past and present, and with an old woman living inside her, how could she possibly have those kinds of feelings for Gu Guanhai?
Isn't that like an old cow eating young grass?
She understands that her children are filial and considerate, but...
She was destined to disappoint the children.
The next day.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Guanhai took out his luggage.
Yu Mingxiang and her family of four saw him off at the door.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I saw Grandma Gu rushing over.
Grandma Gu hurriedly greeted Yu Mingxiang and the others, then turned to look at Gu Guanhai.
Gu Guanhai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother hadn't brought a fire poker, but...
"Why are you leaving so suddenly? What will happen to your blind dates if you leave?"
As soon as Grandma Gu spoke, she started urging him to get married. "Matchmaker Wang from the next village just introduced you to someone. This time, he's neither a fool nor a cripple. He's the daughter of an old man who guards the gate of the town government. She's divorced and has two teenage sons. She's good-looking, and apart from being hard of hearing, she's perfect."
These words were spoken.
Yu Mingxiang: "!!"
His brow furrowed unconsciously.
If you have hearing problems, doesn't that mean you're deaf?
Fool, cripple, deaf...
What kind of potential partners did Gu's mother arrange for Gu Guanhai?
He's a bunch of people, but you can't find a single one who's good enough. Is he really that bad?
Gu Guanhai saw her frowning, looking like she was about to cry but had no tears.
"Mom, didn't I say I wouldn't go on blind dates?"
He wiped his face, looked at his mother, and said, "I know what I'm doing, so don't worry about it, okay?"
Grandma Gu glared.
How can I not worry about it?
She reached out instinctively to pinch her son's ear, but then, thinking of Yu Mingxiang's family and children, she sheepishly withdrew her hand. She moved closer to her son and whispered, "You think you know what you're doing? You know nothing! I told you long ago that you weren't good enough for Dr. Yu, but you wouldn't give up. Now look what happened, you've been kicked out, haven't you?"
Even though Old Mrs. Gu deliberately lowered her voice, but...
They were standing right at the entrance of the small courtyard at the edge of the village, very close by.
The three little ones were alright upon hearing her words, but Yu Mingxiang was speechless: "!!!"
So incredibly embarrassing!
However, since the mother and son were whispering to each other, she couldn't explain, so she could only awkwardly take a few steps back.
"mother!"
Gu Guanhai was speechless at his mother's antics, and explained with difficulty, "I really had something to do outside, that's why I left!"
"What do you want?"
Grandma Gu reached out and grabbed him, "Come on! Come home with me for a blind date!"
Upon seeing this, Gu Guanhai exclaimed: "!!!"
He twisted his body and escaped from his mother's grasp, running far away in an instant.
Grandma Gu: "You..."
She was about to start cursing when she was interrupted by Gu Guanhai's voice.
"Mom, I have to catch my train and I'll be going now. Please take care of yourself."
Gu Guanhai, standing a few feet away, waved to his mother and then turned to look at Yu Mingxiang.
Their eyes met.
