Love Just Begins - C133
An Shengmei could not hold back her laughter. Wen Weiwei enjoyed the warmth between the two of them, she pulled An Shengmei up with one hand and Gu Qingyan with the other, and walked towards the hall happily!
With the hot tea in her hand, An Shengmei took a sip.
Gu Qingyan was afraid that An Shengmei’s new environment would be dangerous, hence he followed him around to take care of him.
“This?” When she raised her head, Wen Weiwei’s face was filled with love. She was holding a fringed mahogany jewelry box and using her eyes, she indicated that she would accept it!
“A greeting gift for my wife!” Seeing An Shengmei’s confusion and hesitation, Wen Weiwei smiled and explained! This gift has a long history. Ever since Qing Yan read it, he has prepared it for you! ”
“Take it!” The corner of Gu Qingyan’s mouth curled into a smile, his eyes were filled with deep emotions, as though he was looking forward to something.
“Thank you, Auntie!” Feeling overwhelmed from the favor, An Shengmei gently opened the lid and a delicate jade bangle appeared from within the red silk bangle. She couldn’t help but exclaim: “So beautiful!”
“How can I accept such a precious gift?” The jade was a deep green without any impurities. It was easy to tell that it was expensive.
“If you don’t accept, who will?” Gu Qingyan, who was at the side, became anxious. Seeing An Shengmei who sat still and stupid like Mt.
“Accepting it with peace of mind! That’s just a little bit of what I wanted to do! ” Wen Weiwei’s tone was gentle, but it was difficult to refuse.
“Thank you, Auntie!” With a beaming smile, Gu Qingyan picked up the bangle long ago and carefully put it into An Shengmei’s beautiful hands. He raised his wrist, and the green bracelet just so happened to be right, as if it was made specifically for An Shengmei. If he still refused, it would be impolite, so An Shengmei could only sincerely express her gratitude.
“Why are you being so courteous? When you meet your parents tomorrow, set a date for your marriage!” Wen Wen Li sat down beside An Shengmei, looking as if she hated him for being late.
“I really look forward to hugging a beauty as soon as possible!” Gu Qingyan laughed foolishly, not concealing his anxiousness in the slightest.
“Leave! You’re no longer a young one, why are you still so shameless!” An Shengmei laughed and teased. The atmosphere became relaxed.
However, Gu Qingyan actually stood up and disappeared into the long corridor, leaving An Shengmei and Wen Wei. The two of them chatted for a bit, making them feel extremely intimate, like mother and daughter.
At first glance, Wen Qingmei felt that such nobility would keep people at a distance, but after interacting with her for a while, she discovered that her thoughts were meticulous, gentle and thoughtful, causing people to feel warmth in their hearts. Perhaps, because Gu Qingyan had inherited the warmth from his mother, he would eventually be able to rely on her for safety.
The night passed happily, and the fear of seeing her parents-in-law finally disappeared. An Shengmei was a little less nervous about their meeting tomorrow.
In the luxurious private room of the Jun Ward, An Shengmei and her group had arrived. Gu Qingyan’s father, Gu Ming, had a serious face. Gu Qingyan sat right next to his father, and beside him was An Shengmei.
An Shengmei looked outside anxiously. Finally, the familiar figure of his mother appeared outside the half-opened door. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. If mother was absent again, I really don’t know how to explain it to Gu Qingyan’s family!
“Hello everyone. I’ve made you all wait for a long time. I’m truly sorry!” Pushing the door open, An Shengmei saw that his mother was dressed in a dark colored suit, appearing in front of him in a decent manner, causing him to look at her in a whole new light. His mother, who always wore casual clothes, turned out to be dressed in such an elegant suit.
“Just right! Please sit down! ” Gu Ming stood up, and looked at An Shengmei’s mother, and was startled. Where had he seen this face before?
“You …!” With the good word stuck in his throat, An Shengmei’s mother, Lian Ya, looked at the fat man in front of her with a face full of shock: “You are Gu Ming?”
“Mom, do you know each other?” An Shengmei stood up and poured a cup of tea for his mother. Hearing his mother address Gu Qingyan by her father’s name, she stopped, and raised her head filled with doubts.
“You …” Gu Ming seemed to be immersed in his memories.
“We’ve met several times on business. It’s all an old story! ” Lian Ya sat down beside An Shengmei. Her tone was very calm, with a forced smile on her face. In reality, her heart was in turmoil as memories flooded in like a tidal wave. She was unable to control them.
She and Gu Ming, were they not just doing business? However, in the few times they had met, this man who was once proud and arrogant for love had hurt her, yet he had disdained her or knew nothing about her!
If he had helped her back then, then her father’s company wouldn’t have failed, and she wouldn’t have lost her family. She wouldn’t have abandoned her family like this … and she wouldn’t have fallen to such a state of being unable to open her mouth!
The woman beside him who had a smile on her face that would make others unable to reach her was Wen Qingmei! It was for her that Gu Ming had refused to help him back then. She did not harm Lian Ya, but because of her, Lian Ya lost her only chance of turning the situation around.
“Serve the dishes!” Gu Ming racked his brains, trying to remember the familiar face, but he could not remember a single detail about it. Out of politeness, it would be embarrassing to question Lian Ya even if he didn’t want to say anything.
They talked about eating and seemed friendly. But An Shengmei felt that Gu Qingyan’s mother seemed to be a completely different person. The enthusiasm from yesterday had completely disappeared, and he had been smiling the entire time, but he felt cold inside. Furthermore, An Shengmei also knew that her mother was not paying attention today. His eyes were filled with complexity as he tried to find an excuse to not settle the date of their marriage.
After eating for a few hours, An Shengmei’s mother, Lian Ya, took her leave as she walked out of the hotel. Wen Wen turned his head slightly, looked at An Shengmei with no expression on his face, and told Gu Qingyan: “He should be back soon. Qing Yan, take her and stay in your room.”
“Alright.” Gu Qingyan naturally nodded his head. He had always followed his mother’s words, not to mention …
When they returned to Gu Qingyan’s villa in the car, and saw Chen Xiye and Chen Ye who had returned with their shopping, fortunately Little Bud had been picked up already. Otherwise, it would have been chaotic.
Chen Xiye’s brows showed some unease and hesitation. She bit her lips and glanced at Gu Qingyan, then opened her mouth, wanting to say something but no sound came out.
An Shengmei took the initiative to walk over and hold her hand as she entered the door, throwing all the things in her hand onto a cabinet to the side. After that, she sent Gu Qingyan to cook, then sat down on the sofa and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”
Chen Xiye whispered in her ear, “Tan Yizhe is sick …”
“It’s him?” An Shengmei did not expect to hear of his news, she was stunned for a moment, then asked: “What happened to him?”
If it was a normal little sickness, Chen Xiye would definitely not be this cautious. As my assistant, she naturally paid attention to everything that was happening beside me and told me about it.
“He’s very sick?” An Shengmei’s voice was tinged with a hint of tears, “But my parents have already arrived and we have met. It looks like the wedding will be held soon.”
What should he do? She didn’t have time to go back and take a look. It would be too late even if she left now. He felt both unrestrained and guilty.
The food had already been prepared, but An Shengmei felt that it was tasteless. No matter how slow she was, she could tell that something was wrong.
