Chapter 48 I hate my daughter for not being able to make her grow up
In the corridor on the second floor, after finally dealing with all the guests, Gu's mother and Gu Lindong stopped at the door of Gu Xia's room.
"Mom, how about...you don't go in yet?"
Gu Lindong, who had seen big scenes, tried to dissuade her. In fact, it was nothing for her mother to go in, but Gu Lindong was a little worried that her dear mother's heart could not withstand it.
"I finally came back and wanted to celebrate her birthday, but she just took a woman and went to her room today."
"Lin Dong, do you still have to cover for your sister now?"
"That child is the daughter of the nanny next door, right?"
As expected, nothing could escape her mother's sharp eyes, and Gu Lindong could only admit it.
"Yes and no."
This ambiguous answer made Gu's mother take a deep breath, but she knew that Gu Lindong had always been a sensible child and would not hide anything from her.
"A woman of unknown origin, are you letting your sister do whatever she wants?"
"I don't object to Xia Xia dating anyone, but...but how can your dad and I accept her using her power to bully others?"
Knowing her mother was truly angry, Gu Lindong sighed helplessly, rubbing her temples with two fingers. She recalled the time when Gu Xia was in high school and had been taken out for detention by a teacher for fighting with a school bully. When she personally went to pick her up, the teacher and her mother had almost the same excuse.
"Mom, I don't care what happens to Xia Xia."
"It's none of your business."
"At least...at least Miss Ning is a good person."
"I can assure you of that."
Gu Lindong knew the consequences of controlling Gu Xia too strictly. After bringing Gu Xia back from school that day, Gu Lindong locked her up and made her face the wall, asking her to reflect on herself.
I even cruelly stopped eating for a day.
But when she came back, Gu Xia was sitting on the open windowsill, holding a lighter that he had taken out from somewhere.
She was completely shaky.
"Mom, we didn't grow up with her."
"None of us has the right to tell Xia Xia how to behave and how to love others!"
Gu Lindong tried to appear calm, but her tone betrayed her thoughts.
"Then you shouldn't let her do whatever she wants, bully others, and force them!"
"Mom, Ning Anran has been with Xia Xia longer than you, me, and Dad. She...she knows what Xia Xia likes better than I do."
In the end, the words became a double-edged sword.
This is also why Gu Lindong never stopped Gu Xia and Ning Anran from being "together" from beginning to end.
"Winter Lin! You are really...what can I say about you?"
With her hand on the door handle, Gu's mother tried to pull it down but was locked out.
Gu Xia never locked the door before, so such an abnormal behavior was obviously not done by her daughter.
Could it be that...
Thinking of this, Mother Gu raised her arm, bent her fingers and knocked on the door.
A clear knock sound came from outside the door. At this time, Gu Xia's clothes had been lifted up by Ning Anran, and Ning Anran was squatting on the ground, carefully applying medicine to Gu Xia.
The cotton swab rolled across Gu Xia's fair skin, bringing a cool touch. Gu Xia bit her thin lips to hold back the trembling of her legs.
"I need to apply medicine again tomorrow, and the bruises will go away."
"Want me to rub it for you?"
Using a cotton swab alone cannot maximize the effectiveness of the medicine. Ning Anran's fingers pressed against the bruise on Gu Xia's leg, but he didn't have time to touch it.
Gu Xia put her hands on Ning Anran's shoulders. She felt that she did not look like an injured patient at the moment.
Instead, it seems like they are guests who are enjoying themselves extra!
"No need... I can do it myself!"
"Ning Anran, go open the door quickly."
"My sister should be outside the door."
There was a hint of pleading in her voice. Ning Anran was unsure of what Gu Xia was thinking. She could only give up caring for Gu Xia and turned around to go out the door.
The heating in the bedroom was on high, so Gu Xia didn't think about the thinness of Ning Anran's white T-shirt until she saw Ning Anran's sexy waistline exposed.
This made him so anxious that he spoke incoherently.
No, if her sister saw Ning Anran wearing this, she would probably pull her ears the next day and say that she was no different from that playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun and sleep with women!
"Ning...An Ran!"
The voice was anxious. Before Gu Xia could straighten her skirt, Ning Anran opened the door.
A woman who looked 30% similar to Gu Xia looked at Ning Anran with raised eyebrows. Her gaze moved from the hair on Ning Anran's head to Ning Anran's slender calves.
She is very tall and has a very good-looking appearance.
It looks quiet and cold, like a deep cedar tree on a bustling street.
But this woman exudes charm all the time, and the slight swelling at the corners of her lips shows that she has done something ambiguous.
Taking her eyes away from Ning Anran, Mother Gu looked directly at her disheveled daughter.
The corners of Gu Xia's eyes were red, and her cheeks were stained with a thin blush. Her neckline was almost invisible, and her thighs were exposed.
Ning Anran was relatively calm when facing her scrutiny, but her daughter was like...
I'm so disappointed in you!
"Mom...you're here."
Gu Xia adjusted her skirt, pursed her lips and swept the floor with her head down, not daring to look at her dear mother.
If I have to describe what this feeling is, it’s probably like when I was a kid and I threw a tantrum and refused to eat dinner, and in the middle of the night my stomach growled with hunger, and I sneaked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and was caught red-handed by my mother!
"Xia Xia, you really know how to enjoy yourself."
"What's this?"
Gu Xia blinked and frowned in confusion.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I just bumped into the wall by accident, and Ning Anran was applying medicine to me!"
Heartbeating hard, Gu Xia winked at Ning Anran and silently mouthed: "Ning Anran, run away - my mother is not someone you can easily mess with -"
"How do you explain this thing?"
An exquisite little box was taken out from the compartment of the coffee table by Gu's mother. Under the light of the bedroom, Gu Xia squinted his eyes and took two steps forward before he could see clearly what the thing was.
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!
Oh, God, oh, this thing really wasn't bought by her. She's not that lustful! She's not that hungry!
"Mom, let me explain that...that thing..."
If she didn't buy that thing, then it must have been bought by Ning Anran...
Gu Xia felt herself sweating profusely, caught in a dilemma. If she admitted in front of her dear mommy that she bought this thing, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River!!!
But she couldn't possibly give Ning Anran away!
Ning Anran probably bought this kind of thing just for her comfort!!!
After all, in the original novel, Ning Anran is a straight woman!!!
Having achieved this with just 4% favorability, Gu Xia felt that he was about to be moved to tears by Ning Anran.
"What's wrong with this thing?"
"Xia Xia, tell mom in detail what's wrong with this thing?"
The words printed on the small box almost made Gu Xia feel ashamed. She felt as if the advertising slogan on the box was ringing in her ears.
“This…I bought this.”
"Ahem...it's safe."
After saying this, Gu Xia felt that he could consider moving to another planet.
