Chapter 122 Who is the outsider?

Gu Lanting's breath suddenly became cold, and his sharp eyes fell on her.

"She doesn't know the address of the Gu family in the capital."

Gu Yanluo's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flickered. "I don't know about this. Maybe she found out from somewhere."

Gu Lanting sneered and leaned against the door leisurely. "Then why don't you tell me where she found out? Or did she see it from the address you sent the letter?"

He put his hand on the door handle and opened the door.

Bai Hua was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When she saw someone pushing the door in, she looked unhappy.

She was born in a famous family and was a rich and noble flower who was raised by a spoiled child. She had never suffered any hardships in her life. Now she looks like she is in her early thirties.

When her eyes fell on Gu Lanting, she was delighted.

"Lanting!" She looked at Gu Lanting with burning eyes, "Why did you come back without telling me?"

Gu Lanting looked at her face and saw that she was rosy, so he knew that she was in good health.

"I just got here."

Bai Hua's excitement faded a little. She knew her son too well.

He must have come back for something, and you could tell from his attitude.

"Go downstairs and have a meal first, and have a good rest after the meal. You look tired."

Bai Hua lifted the quilt and stood up.

Gu Yanluo followed up and agreed: "Aunt Hua is right, Brother Lanting, let's go downstairs and have something to eat, and then we can talk properly."

Gu Lanting did not move, "I still have something to ask you."

Bai Hua held her shawl, her eyes cold, "Then ask."

Gu Lanting looked straight into her eyes, "What did you do to Yuan Xiao, or her family?"

"I don't think I need to introduce you, you already know who Yuan Xiao is."

Bai Hua pinched a corner of the shawl, her nails turned white.

"So you came back today to settle accounts with Mom?" She asked coldly.

Gu Lanting stroked his fingers, his eyes heavy, but he did not retreat at all.

"I'm not here to settle accounts, I just want to know what you've done."

Bai Hua sneered, "This village girl is quite capable, and you actually took her to heart."

"Please be more respectful." Gu Lanting's aura was domineering and heavy.

Bai Hua turned her face away, her eyes red, "Then do you know that she wrote me a reply? Do you know how disrespectful she was to me in this letter?"

"Mom, then tell me, why did she reply? How did she know our address?"

If you hadn't been disrespectful first, how would she have had the opportunity to reply?

Gu Lanting sneered, "You are allowed to hurt others, but others are not allowed to fight back? That doesn't make sense!"

"Gu Lanting, I'm your mother!" Bai Hua retorted sharply, her eyes were bloodshot.

Gu Yanluo was almost scared to tears, and grabbed Gu Lanting's arm, "Brother Lanting, forget it, don't get angry with Aunt Hua for outsiders, is it worth it?"

Gu Lanting shook her hand away, his eyes sneered: "Outsiders?"

Gu Yanluo stepped back embarrassedly.

Yes, in this family, who can compare to her, an outsider?

Gu Lanting ignored her, but turned to Bai Hua, "She doesn't know you, and you don't know her. Mom, treat a stranger like this, where is your upbringing?"

Bai Hua's hair was messy, her eyes were painful, as if something was stuck in her throat.

She didn't even know what she had done wrong?

She just told Wang Yazhi that she had found a girl from aristocratic family in the capital for Gu Lanting, and wanted her to give up.

Are these few sentences worth his fuss?

Of course she didn't know that her beloved niece Gu Yanluo thoughtfully added a few more words to her.

If Yuan Xiao was just a village girl who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful at the beginning.

Then in Bai Hua's heart, Yuan Xiao was already a villain who tried to sow discord between her and her son, and made her hate him.

She took deep breaths repeatedly, and spoke after a long while: "Okay, Mom will apologize to you and that little girl, okay?"

Gu Lanting was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly.

His mother is not someone who gives in easily.

Bai Hua chuckled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You haven't been home for three years, and mom is afraid of you. You are already an adult, and you really like that girl, how can mom not agree?"

Gu Lanting's expression softened a little, and he repeatedly looked at the expression on her face, which was full of sincerity.

Bai Hua walked slowly to him, "Bring her to the capital some other day. Mom didn't agree at first because she was worried that you were not sincere to her and made a joke. This world is harsh on girls, what if your reputation is ruined? Now that I see that you really care about her, I have nothing to worry about."

She was extremely considerate, and Gu Lanting suspected that the person who was hysterical just now was not her.

Her attitude softened, and Gu Lanting didn't want to press her any further. "Since you know you're wrong, I'll have to trouble you to write a letter to Yuan Xiao when I return to Lang City."

Bai Hua's nails dug into her flesh and she smiled, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. But you went back to the capital without permission, will it be okay?"

"No, I have a vacation coming up."

Bai Hua nodded.

"Okay, let's go downstairs to eat."

Gu Lanting nodded, "I'll go with you."

Bai Hua smiled, "No, you go down first, I'll clean up."

Seeing Gu Lanting go downstairs, Bai Hua's face darkened.

Gu Yanluo was a little scared and said with tears in her eyes: "Aunt Hua, do you really agree that the village girl and Brother Lanting are together?"

Bai Hua sneered, "What do you think?"

"But, but you just..."

Bai Hua turned around with a sharp look.

If she didn't say that, wouldn't it be fulfilling the village girl's wishes?

Why would she hurt the relationship between herself and her son for a village girl?

"A Luo."

"Hmm?"

"You didn't do anything to the letter you sent out, did you?"

Gu Yanluo shuddered, her eyes reddened, "Aunt Hua, that's your letter, how dare I do that?"

Bai Hua saw that she was about to cry, and her heart softened, "Okay, I didn't say I don't believe you."

"Did you meet her when you went to Langshi with Lan Ting last time?"

Gu Yanluo paused, "No... I haven't met her."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you've met her or not. What kind of good girl can be raised in a country place like that? It's just that I don't know what's wrong with Lan Ting, she's so obsessed with her."

Gu Yanluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Aunt Hua, why don't you ask your uncle to transfer brother Lan Ting back?"

Bai Hua's expression suddenly turned cold, "No one can interfere in Lan Ting's business."

"Also, A'Luo, Aunt Hua knows how you feel about Brother Lanting, but you and him are not suitable."

She could add a dowry and marry her off in style.

But she still can't be a daughter-in-law.

This was not the first time she said this to Gu Yanluo.

But she had never been so blunt before.

Gu Yanluo felt as if her heart had been shattered.

She held back her tears and choked, "I know, I never thought about it..."

"Let's go downstairs and have dinner."
