Chapter 627: Mother Gu

her father Shu Minghai would always blame her, demanding that she apologize and admit fault. 。That was her father, she couldn't resist, she admitted. 。But why, she had finally managed to crawl out of...She had her own innocence and naiveté. When she went to visit the Gu family, she didn't give a heads-up beforehand, but wanted to surprise Mrs. Gu, so she went straight to their door.

I just didn't expect that Xu Shao and her mother would also be at Gu Jia.

When Mrs. Gu saw her sudden appearance, there was a moment of awkwardness, then she quickly invited her in.

Xu Zhao was obviously a little surprised to see her at the Gu family, but he quickly smiled and said, "Yao Yao, it's been a long time."

”

"It's been a while, I just saw you at the awards ceremony before."

”

It's like three autumns have passed since I last saw you.

”

Lu YaoYao hates how Xu Zhao is acting. In front of Mama Gu, she acts like a child again, but she's just herself and can't learn Xu Zhao's tricks.

Xu Ma smiled and said, "I watched the previous award ceremony. I didn't expect your relationship with your sisters to be so good."

We used to fight all the time when we were kids.

”

Seeing how the two of them were talking to each other just now, it seemed like they were just playfully sparring, not truly at odds. Gu Ma felt relieved.

She has always had a good relationship with the Xu family, mother and daughter. It is not just a matter of familial interests, but also a deep friendship forged over many years. Therefore, even though something happened to the Xu family, they continued to keep in touch as usual.

Lu Yaoyao had known beforehand that she shouldn't have come today. Sitting there, she felt out of place, like a stranger.

Perhaps seeing her discomfort, Gu's mother said

I went to the kitchen to see what dishes Aunt had prepared.

”

Mom Xu also got up and walked with her, leaving her and Xu Zhao in the living room.

But she and Xu Zhao also didn't have much to talk about. They hadn't contacted each other since the awards ceremony before.

Xu Zhao's work now is not as good as before, after all, many crews consider the unknown risks and dare not ask her to star, brands also dare not.

Ask her to be a spokesperson.

"What have you been up to lately" Lu YaoYao asked.

"Just relaxing, reading scripts, playing some basketball, and occasionally live streaming to promote products."

Xu Zhao faced the current predicament openly and honestly.

After answering Yaoyao's question, I also asked, "What about you What are you busy with"

I'm also free.

She answered honestly.

"Busy falling in love Gu Ruan Dong is a good guy."

”

She didn't expect her to be so straightforward, YaoYao's face flushed slightly without denying it.

Lu Yaoyao and she sat like this in Gu Ruandong's house, it was actually a little awkward. After a while, she really couldn't find any topics to continue the conversation, so she got up and said, "I'll go see Auntie in the kitchen." >>>

”

made up an excuse to leave.

She had originally planned to take the elevator to the third floor to check on Gu Ruan Dong's room, but as she passed by the kitchen, she heard Mrs. Gu and Ms. Xu chatting and mentioning her name, so she instinctively stopped in her tracks.

The two mothers did not notice anyone outside and continued to lament.

“It’s a pity that the two children weren’t destined to be together. I felt regret for a long time.”

Zhao Zhao has grown up under my watch, and I've always treated her like my daughter-in-law.

"Mrs. Gu's voice was filled with regret."

Xu Ma sighed: "It seems like it's just fate, isn't it You know how Zhaozhao feels about Ruan Dong. For so many years, she's only had eyes for him. Her mistake is that she's too stubborn and has no girlish shyness or willingness to compromise."

If she had even a shred of the Miss Lu's temperament, she wouldn't be like this.

”

"Oh, you don't know, he's been with Miss Lu ever since and I haven't slept well for several nights."

The two of them standing together just don't seem to match.

If I were to look for a wife, my heart would still yearn for someone like ZhaoZhao, who is generous and capable.

you

Their family had an accident this time, I see Zhaozhao didn't even shed a tear, she's stronger than you.

”

Mother Gu sighed, it wasn't that she disliked YaoYao, but she always felt that her son's temperament and career would be more suitable for a strong, capable wife.

Mrs. Gu was a bit soft-natured and had a tendency to please others. What she was saying at the moment was half sincere and half meant to make Mrs. Xu happy, after all, her son had wronged the other party, unaware that Lu Yaoyao stood outside the door.

Lu Yao Yao stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or stay out. Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest. So Mrs. Gu didn't like her!

Before this, she thought Mrs. Gu liked her very much, so she took the initiative to visit her this time, wanting to surprise her, but it seemed like she had disturbed them.

She was indeed spoiled growing up. Everyone around her, especially her elders, loved and cared for her deeply. Even strict teachers like Zhu Yu'an's mother, Ms. Cheng, treated her with extra affection. Over time, she developed a misconception, thinking that it was only natural for her elders to love her. So when she first heard what Gu's mother said, she felt very sad.

While Gu Ma didn't say anything directly bad about her, the implication in her words was that she preferred Xu Zhao more, believing he was a better fit for Gu Ruandong. This made her even sadder.

Feeling hurt and wronged by not being recognized.

"Miss Lu, why are you standing here" The nanny greeted her after seeing her in the storeroom while getting things.

Mother Gu in the kitchen heard this, her heart skipped a beat, she hurried to turn around and take a glance. Sure enough, Lu YaoYao stood there, her eyes red, so she knew she was in trouble. The words she just said had definitely been heard by her.

She wanted to explain.

"Mom might be standing beside me, but she wouldn't be able to explain it. Anything she says would contradict itself."

I went upstairs, just passing by.

Lu Yaoyao didn't cry. She had endured the prickling in her nose just now, swallowing it back. She didn't want to make things awkward for either of them, so she simply said hello and went up to Gu Ruandong's room on the elevator from the entrance hall.

His room was still just as tidy and clean as it had been before, not a speck of dust anywhere. Standing at the doorway, he recalled scenes from his last visit, and his nose felt a twinge of bittersweetness.

It was as if they had a telepathic connection, Gu Ruandong sent her a video request. It rang several times before she answered, but she kept the camera pointed at his room so he couldn't see herself.

"Are you home" he asked, knowing she was coming to his place today.

"Well, here's your room."

She feigned cheerfulness, pacing his room with her phone.

He laughed: "What's there to see in my room Turn the camera around, let me see you."

”

He was on a business trip out of town, while she was in Beijing. They hadn't seen each other for several days.

Yao Yao chose a slightly darker corner to stand and video call him, trying to conceal her recent disappointment. She murmured softly, turning around in a daze...

“Missing you more in your room.”

”

I'll definitely finish everything by New Year's and go back to be with you.

”

"Okay, my aunt is calling me for dinner. I'll go down first and video chat with you later."

”

Okay, go ahead.

”

She took back her phone, smiled at Gu's mother outside the door, and went downstairs to the restaurant together.

Mrs. Gu wanted to say something but stopped herself. After they got off the elevator, she spoke: "Yaoyao, Auntie didn't mean it that way just now."

”

The explanation is pale and weak.

Lu Yaoyao: "It's okay, I know."

”

She knew not everyone had to like her, and it was normal for Gu's mother to prefer Xu Zhao. After all, they had a relationship spanning many years, deeper than hers.

Thick.

It's her own problem. Whenever it involves Gu Ruandong, she can't help but be completely open and honest. Others aren't obligated to accept that.ce, so she finished it in three bites and went back to her room to change. She put on a light touch of makeup and came out with her laptop bag." 。Zuo Yu'an drove her, but he wasn't comfortable leaving...
