Chapter 92 Mother Ji Visits
After lunch, Ji Yunzhou couldn't stand it anymore and was the first to rush into the bathroom to wash his face.
Li Chuan followed in.
When they came out again, they had regained their usual handsome appearance.
In the end, Ji Yunzhou took the initiative to wash the dishes. After all, the meal was cooked by Li Chuan, and no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't let others wash the dishes.
Gu Jing kept chattering to Gu Yuan.
Li Chuan sat aside and listened quietly.
Until evening, the doorbell rang again.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned towards the door.
"Ji Yunzhou, have you made any appointments with friends?"
Gu Yuan was the first to react, and as he spoke he prepared to get up and open the door.
Ji Yunzhou frowned slightly. In his perception, the aura outside the door was not that of a familiar colleague from the underworld, nor was it an evil creature with a murderous aura.
It's a kind of familiar breath of the living.
He couldn't remember who it was.
"No, wait, I'll go open it."
He stood up and followed Gu Yuan.
But Gu Yuan was one step faster. He had already grasped the door handle and gently opened the door.
There was a lady standing outside the door.
She wore a well-tailored champagne-colored suit, a light silk scarf around her neck, and carried a low-key but high-quality handbag.
She is well maintained and looks only in her thirties or forties. Although there are subtle traces of time at the corners of her eyes, they add to her charm. One can imagine that she must have been a radiant beauty when she was young.
With a graceful temperament and bright eyes, she was looking at Gu Yuan who opened the door with full curiosity and anticipation.
"Who are you looking for?"
Gu Yuan was a little confused by the other party's burning gaze and asked politely.
When the woman saw him, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had discovered some rare treasure.
She almost immediately took a step forward and enthusiastically shook Gu Yuan's hand. Her palm was warm and soft.
"Oh, you must be Yuanyuan, right? Look at you, so handsome! I'm your mother!"
"Mother?"
Gu Yuan was completely stunned, his mind went blank in an instant, and he even subconsciously recalled the photo of his mother.
It doesn't match at all.
When did he change his mother?
Why didn't anyone inform him?
This sudden recognition of his kinship left him overwhelmed and he could only stand there at a loss as to what to do.
"Yes, it's Mom!"
Seeing him in a daze, the woman smiled even more happily, took his hand and walked into the house, her tone intimate and natural:
"If you marry our Yunzhou, then I will be your mother! Yunzhou is really too unreasonable! We asked him to take you back to the old house a long time ago, but he always said that the time is not right and is very secretive.
As a mother, I couldn't wait any longer, so I had to come and see my good son-in-law myself!"
After Ji Yunzhou saw who was coming, he was also a little surprised:
"Mom? Why are you here? You didn't even say hello in advance."
He had respect for this human mother and felt a sense of obligation as a son, but that was all.
His special identity makes it difficult for him to truly integrate into this strong human relationship.
He did mention to his family that he and Gu Yuan had registered their marriage abroad. His purpose was to explain Gu Yuan's special position in his life in a way that was most consistent with human rules, and to save a lot of trouble.
The Ji family doted on their son extremely much, and almost all of them followed the highest principle of doing whatever he liked, so they also loved Gu Yuan, whom they had never met.
"Hello, auntie."
Gu Jing and Li Chuan had already stood up and greeted politely.
Gu Jing came out of basic courtesy, while Li Chuan knew the Ji family because of their business cooperation.
"Hey, great! Ogawa is here too. Who is this?"
Mother Ji responded with a smile, her eyes falling on Gu Jing.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Gu Jing, and I'm Gu Yuan's younger brother."
Gu Jing quickly introduced himself with a well-behaved smile on his face.
"So you're Yuanyuan's younger brother. We're all family. Don't be polite. Come and sit down!"
Mother Ji greeted him warmly, then turned her attention to Gu Yuan, looking him up and down, becoming more and more satisfied.
"That's great! Yuanyuan looks so good, even more energetic than in the photo! We at Yunzhou are so lucky!"
Mother Ji was smiling broadly, obviously in a very good mood, and her attention quickly returned to Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou.
She held Gu Yuan's hand tightly and wouldn't let go: "Hey, Yuanyuan, don't stand at the door, let mom take a good look at you.
Yun Zhou is a very well hidden kid! "
Gu Yuan was a little overwhelmed by this overly enthusiastic atmosphere and could only passively be pulled by Ji's mother to sit on the sofa.
He looked at Ji Yunzhou for help, asking with his eyes what was going on.
Ji Yunzhou rubbed his brows, walked over to sit next to Gu Yuan, and blocked some of Ji's mother's overly enthusiastic gaze.
He held Gu Yuan's hand, then turned to his mother, his tone calm but with unquestionable certainty:
"Mom, this is Gu Yuan. We are indeed married."
He looked at Gu Yuan, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yuanyuan, this is my mother, Ms. Zhang, she has always wanted to see you."
Gu Yuan greeted Mother Ji again: "Ah... Hello, Auntie. Sorry, it's our first meeting, I'm a little nervous."
He didn't dare call her mom directly, the gap was too big.
Mother Ji didn't care at all, and instead thought Gu Yuan's shy look was even more adorable:
"Oh, why call me auntie? Call me mom! How awkward! Why are you so nervous? We're all family now."
The more she looked at Gu Yuan, the more satisfied she became: "Yun Zhou, this kid, may not be good at other things, but he has excellent taste! With Yuan Yuan's temperament and appearance, it's really unfair for you to be paired with him."
Ji Yunzhou: “…”
He was equally venomous towards everyone, including his nominal mother, but this was obviously not the time to show that.
He could only accept the teasing from his mother with an expressionless face.
Mother Ji has already begun to enthusiastically ask about Gu Yuan's various situations, such as what he likes to eat, what his hobbies are, and how he gets along with Yun Zhou... The questions come one after another, full of the care of an elder.
Gu Yuan could only bite the bullet and carefully consider his answer while looking at Ji Yunzhou for help.
Ji Yunzhou received his signal and interrupted at the right time, trying to divert his mother's attention:
"Mom, how did you find this place?"
He remembered that he did not tell his parents the specific address of the apartment.
Mother Ji smiled complacently: "I have my own way! I asked your assistant for the address. The child refused to tell me at first. I told him I was your mother and wanted to send something to my son-in-law, and then he finally told me."
As she spoke, she took out a black card from the exquisite handbag she brought and stuffed it into Gu Yuan's hand:
"Yuanyuan, since this is our first meeting, I didn't prepare any special gifts. Please keep this as a token of my appreciation."
Gu Yuan opened his eyes wide and quickly refused: "Auntie, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"You must accept it! That's the rule!"
Mother Ji was adamant: "This is a meeting gift from our Ji family to our son-in-law. If you don't accept it, you're being rude to me!"
Ji Yunzhou nodded to Gu Yuan and whispered, "Take it. It's a token of my mother's love."
Seeing that Ji Yunzhou had spoken, Gu Yuan had no choice but to take the card and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you... Thank you, Mom."
The word "Mom" sounded a little awkward, but Mother Ji was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, okay! So good!"
Mother Ji patted Gu Yuan's hand, then looked at Ji Yunzhou with a complaining tone:
"Look at you. If I hadn't come looking for you, how long were you going to keep this a secret from us? What about the wedding? When is it going to be held? You can't just do it quietly, right? We in the Ji family can't let Yuanyuan suffer!"
wedding?
Ji Yunzhou's eyes were full of excitement. He just wanted to use his mother's words to ask Yuanyuan to give him a wedding?
Gu Yuan thought, isn't this too troublesome? It's not bad now.
He spoke first: "I'm still in college, there's no rush for the wedding, let's talk about it later."
"How can I not be anxious!"
Mother Ji was dissatisfied: "No matter how many things there are, you can't be careless about the important events in life! You young people don't understand. A wedding is not just a ceremony, it is also a declaration of your relationship to everyone..."
