Sweet Wedding and Pampering Love - C121
The way Ming Xuemei stood at a fixed position was able to see the expressions of her parents clearly. Thus, she was clear about her parents’ attitude towards Gu Zi … Not out of fear, just to please …
They had changed their attitudes so quickly and thoroughly that it was likely that they already knew Gu Zi’s identity, but now that she saw her parents being so courteous to Gu Zi, it could almost be said to be a flattery. She couldn’t clearly feel what she was feeling in her heart, wasn’t she afraid that they would hurt Big Brother Gu? Is it? Why, now that they were safe and peaceful, could she not be happy at all?
Was it because she was too surprised and couldn’t recover?
Or … A bad premonition flashed through Ming Xue Mo’s heart, but she forcibly suppressed it. She shouldn’t have thought this way, she can’t think this way …
At the same time that she fell into chaos, Dai Weiping, who had invited Gu Zi into the room, looked up and saw Mumei standing against the railing. She greeted her with a kind gesture that she had never displayed in the past eighteen years, and gently said, “Momo, come down here.”
Dai Weiping really didn’t expect her daughter to be a tutor in the famous Gu family. If Aunt Yun hadn’t told her in the morning that Miss Gu was teaching in the Gu family, and reminded them to disperse as soon as possible when they came to the house, and not to start a conflict, lest they anger these gangsters and cause disaster, she really wouldn’t have thought that they would have anything to do with the Gu family.
Upon hearing this surprising news, Dai Weeping and Mingli exchanged a glance in secret. Auntie Yun was a servant. She knew that the underworld was scary, but she had never thought that she was afraid of the underworld and that other people would also be afraid of it.
If she knew that Ming Xue Mo knew a big shot like Young Master Gu, not only would she not object to him, she would even strongly support him. One must know that even though the Ming family claimed themselves to be a famous family and a high society, over these years, their house had always been suppressed and bullied by the other Ming brothers. This time, not only did Ming Xue Mo not lose face for the Ming family’s young miss, she could even be said to have helped them a lot.
They were truly worthy of being their daughters. On a whim, they could find a part-time home tutor job that many people would never be able to build on even if they racked their brains.
After receiving this heavyweight news, they naturally changed their plans and would definitely not come knocking again. They even questioned in detail about how Aunt Yun usually treated Ming Xue Mo, as if they were worried she hadn’t been bullied. Although Aunt Yun cared a lot about Gu Zi, she was afraid that adding on her subjective feelings would worsen her worries, so she said objectively that Young Master Gu took care of Miss on a daily basis.
Although Mingli and Dai Weiping were away from C city for many years, they were well aware of the situation in C city. The nobles, celebrities, and black and white forces, regardless of whether or not they could get along, had done their homework carefully in case of need. Now, it was of use.
Mingli and Dai Weiping searched the memory banks. They remembered that Young Master Gu, who had just been born, was not married yet. He only had a son. If what Aunt Yun said was true … It was as if they had seen boundless hope. If Ming Xue Mo could always be doted on by Young Master Gu, then they would also be able to rise to greatness in the future. However, they also knew Ming Xue Mo’s personality very well. She had always been a high and mighty scholar, so they didn’t go up to meet her for half a day. They didn’t give her any clear indications or hints in case she decided to go against them and ruin everything.
In addition, they also wanted to wait and see if Young Master Gu valued Ming Xue Mo as much as Aunt Yun had said. If Aunt Yun hadn’t spoken so arrogantly, then he would definitely have appeared at the Ming household today. Sure enough, he came even before lunch time.
The moment he heard the doorbell ring, the eyes that were hidden behind the glasses and the eyes that always made Mingxue feel refined and scholarly revealed a mysterious light. He gave Dai Weiping a meaningful glance, and Dai Weiping immediately ordered Aunt Yun to open the door for Gu Zi. This was also the first time Gu Zi received the treatment of opening the door for her ever since she appeared in her field of vision.
What happened next was what she saw. She didn’t know what her parents were thinking this morning, so she didn’t know how to react. Dai Weiping’s current appearance was completely different from the way she viciously cursed at her for ruining her own future. She really couldn’t adapt in such a short time.
Seeing her standing there stupidly, like a mother who dotes on her children, Dai Weiping lightly scolded her for being impolite. Then she walked over to her, took her hand and led her down the stairs.
She had never trusted her mother as much as she believed she would never let her fall. Her eyes drifted to Gouzi, who happened to be looking at her, and she could read his thoughts in his eyes: Your father and mother are so much more hospitable than Aunt Yun, how can you make them sound so terrible? You are lying about the military.
As for her … She was at a loss for words. Towards this God’s reversal, she was really … There was nothing to say. She could only tell him with puzzled eyes that she didn’t know how things had turned out like this.
All she could feel was that her birthday dream had shattered.
Dai Weeping pulled Mingxue to sit on the sofa opposite Gu Zi and asked her. She noticed the eye contact just now. Although it couldn’t be described with such an exaggerated word, it definitely had something to do with it. She was secretly delighted in her heart. It seems that there is hope in their plans …
“Young Master Gu, thanks for your love, Xue Moyan had the chance to give the young master guidance. She didn’t cause you any trouble, did she?” Mingli waited for Dai Weiping to take a seat beside him before opening her mouth, filled with the flavor of the business classics.
They had acted so obviously, so how could Gu Zi not be able to tell what they were thinking? He was truly puzzled. This little girl was outstanding, smart, and also had a body full of pride.
He remembered that he had learned a phrase in school, ‘A man gains the path of a chicken and a dog ascends to heaven’, but he was sorry. There was no such thing in his world view.
The friendship between him and Ming Xue Mo was between the two of them, and had nothing to do with the couple. So if they wanted to use his love for her to give birth to unrealistic fantasies, I’m afraid their hopes would be dashed.
Gu Zi didn’t mind being embarrassed when he asked, so he replied as per his personality, “In fact, it brought me quite a bit of trouble.”
Because she was in a bad mood, he took her to dinner and the movies, which made her sick, and he accompanied her, and because she was in a bad mood, he sent his motorbike army to take her out on the road, and because she was in a bad mood, he even used the helicopter …
Other than when she was in a bad mood, she had many other situations … She was afraid of her aunt Yun, he couldn’t leave, he had no choice but to jump off a building; her mother came to check on the guard, even their most influential teacher, Tang, came out to help her; he owed her a large favor, Dongfang Jing, Old Tan, and the Gu family’s two young mistresses all had to pay it back; he even bullied her for her; Lu Feng and Lie each were worse off than the other, and A’Mo couldn’t avoid it either …
Gu Zi had originally wanted to squeeze out the gift, but after he had carefully counted how much trouble Mingxue had caused him, he realized that he had done so much for her.
Gu Zi asked did not regret treating her so well, because not only did he give a lot for her, she also gave him a lot in return. But after considering the situation, he still felt that … He paid too little for his protection. He wanted to talk to her about it some other day.
Ming Li’s answer made Ming Li feel awkward, but Ming Li was still the son of the Ming family. If he couldn’t deal with this little bit of embarrassment, then he deserved to be bullied by the other brothers and sisters of the Ming family.
“This child …” He then turned to Gu Zi and asked, “We’ll apologize to you in your stead. Look, it’s already noon and we’re also about to eat. If Young Master Gu doesn’t mind, we can stay and have a meal together in the cold house.”
Gu Zi asked as the corner of his mouth curled up. An old fox was an old fox. This saying was quite round. He didn’t eat so he respectfully accepted the order. By the way, he also wanted to see what this girl looked like when she was with her parents. To be able to develop such a stubborn personality while being sensible and kind at the same time, he could imagine what kind of perverted life she had experienced.
“Then I’ll be troubling you.”
When Mingli heard him agree, he was overjoyed and stood up. “It’s our honor,” he said.
Dai Weiping also stood up, acting as though she was welcoming guests. She led the way and said, “Young Master Gu, this way, please.”
Gu Zi dusted off his pants fakely and slowly stood up, his gaze landing on Ming Xue Mo. She remained seated, her eyes downcast, not wanting to see the hypocritical face of her mother and father, or the scorn and mockery he expressed at her parents’ self-deprecating behavior.
Gu Zi could tell from her expression that she was definitely twisting her heart. It wasn’t just useless children that would embarrass their parents, but unsatisfactory parents as well.
“Little girl …” He called to her softly, as before. He wanted to use his consistent voice to tell her that her parents were her parents and that she was her, and that it was precisely because her parents brought her too much unbearable disappointment and sadness that he was willing to send her to his side.
Hearing his gentle voice, Ming Xue Mo slowly recovered from her shame. She raised her head and looked at him with a dull gaze. His lips had a faint smile, but it was still just as warm and beautiful as before. In fact, she knew that he wasn’t blaming her for her parents’ actions. He had just shamelessly said that she had caused him a lot of trouble, and that was enough to prove that he was not the same kind of person as her parents, that he wouldn’t speak nonsense to anyone, that he wouldn’t speak nonsense, that he wouldn’t lie to others, that there was no need for him to do that.
But even if he didn’t look at her strangely, she couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened. After all, it was her parents who were trying to cling to him, and their intention obviously wasn’t just to keep him for a meal. He didn’t look down on her at the moment, but that didn’t mean that he could continue to view her as he had before, even after her parents had done more.
When Dai Weiping and Mingli heard Gu Zi’s question about how to address Mumo, they were overjoyed. Nicknames were something that only appeared after their relationship had reached a certain level. It looked like what Aunt Yun said was true, that Young Master Gu treated Xue Mei differently, and that was exactly what they wanted to see.
From the beginning to the end, she didn’t utter a single word of greeting, and the way she looked at Gu Zi’s question seemed dull and unintelligent, but she had a weird personality since she was young. As long as she was slightly unhappy and didn’t say anything, they couldn’t hope for her to improve in a single day. As long as Young Master Gu was not picky of her stinking habits, they would all love to see it.
Gu Zi asked, blinking slightly at Ming Xue Mo, indicating for her to walk over. In this kind of situation, if he extended his hand to her, or went over to hold her hand, she would probably hide his hand from her, because she was still a child. Although she was 18 years old today, her heart was innocent and naive, ignorant of the affairs of the world, so she couldn’t understand the principle of not doing the right thing.
Under his gaze, Ming Xue Mo slowly stood up and slowly walked towards him. She actually wanted to say to him: “Big Brother Gu, you go back first.” However, Ming Li and Dai Weeping were both by his side. They probably wouldn’t give her the chance to say what she wanted to say, but it wasn’t what they wanted to hear.
It was better to find a chance to talk to her alone.
Mingmei had been arranged by Dai Weiping to sit next to Gouzi, while Mingli and she sat opposite them. Ming Xue Mo had just picked up her chopsticks and picked up a bit of rice. Before she could even bring it to her mouth, Dai Weiping said, “Xue Mei, don’t just focus on eating. Help Young Master Gu.”
Ming Xue Mo instantly lost her appetite. She really wanted to throw away her chopsticks and arrogantly announce: “He usually gives me food to eat!” Not only would their actions of fawning on her not gain her goodwill, but they would lower their own prices instead.
Gu Zi looked at her darkening eyes and silently shook his head. How much evil had she committed in her previous life, for her to meet her parents? In this short period of time they were together, he could already feel the depression and grievance she had when facing them, their disrespect for her, their happiness, anger, sorrow, and their use …
“There’s no need to be polite, I’ll do it myself.” In the end, it was Gouzi who helped Ming-Xue.
Ming Li wanted to use this perfect occasion to get close to the dining table and ask Gu Zi a few more questions, so as to consolidate their relationship, but during the meal, Gu Zi asked himself that question, and remained silent the entire time. After Ming Li and Dai Weiping had been awkwardly ignored a few times, they didn’t dare to speak carelessly, afraid that Gu Zi would be unhappy.
It had to be known that he had never paid attention to the rule of not eating and not saying anything. The Gu family had always treated their meals happily, but eating with this family really affected their moods. No wonder this girl was so thin.
After hastily finishing the lunch, everyone had their own thoughts and didn’t eat much. Because Gu Zi asked if she wanted to stay for dinner, Dai Weiping quickly ordered Aunt Yun to add a few more dishes. However, there were still two more dishes that hadn’t been served yet. Gu Zi asked and put the bowl down, which also made Dai Weiping uncomfortable.
