Lin Yin had also witnessed the scene, her face altering slightly as she reached to hold her daughter’s hand…

“You’re back, have a seat,” says Gu Huai’an, seated there, gesturing to the mother and daughter with his chin.

Gu YunCi glanced at Gu Qingxin, dressed in modest clothes yet still stunningly beautiful. She gave a cold sneer, pretending to be fragile and said, “Sister, upon entering, you only greeted grandmother and father. My mother, after all, is your elder… how can you be so impolite?”

Gu Qingxin looked at her, clear and bright eyes tinged with a hint of mockery, “Have you greeted my mother? Isn’t my mother your elder?”

A light, casual statement left Gu YunCi speechless. Tang Rongling’s hand, which was peeling an apple, paused, and finally, he raised his eyelashes to cast a glance at her, eyes filled with warning. freewebnov(e)l.com

A sudden, deep pain jabbed Gu Qingxin’s chest, forcing her teeth to unconsciously bite down on her lip. She turned away, refusing to look at his harmful gaze any longer.

Tang Rongling stood up and called out to Lin Yin, “Aunt Lin.”

Lin Yin cast him a glance, her gaze tinged with a faint hint of disappointment disappointment and nothing more…

“Since there are guests, we won’t disturb any further. We’ll come back some other day.”

Lin Yin lightly held her daughter’s hand, preparing to leave. She’d guessed the reason Tang Rongling had called them mother and daughter over today, and as she’d thought, the Gu Family had started to target Qingxin.

This was something she could never tolerate!

“You knew there were guests at home, yet you’re so rude. You’ve wasted all those years as Mrs. Gu.”

Madam Gu had never liked this daughter-in-law of hers, who always acted cold and remain indifferent to people around her.

“Come and meet our guests. This is Lady Meng, and this is Mr. Meng, the second young son of the Meng Family, Meng Zhenglin,” Gu Huai’an introduced to the mother and daughter.

Lady Meng and young Mr. Meng’s eyes were fixed on Gu Qingxin. Lady Meng evidently wasn’t very satisfied, while young Mr. Meng, who was being frivolous just earlier, changed his attitude upon seeing Gu Qingxin, showing a keen interest in her.

“If there’s anything, let’s sit down and talk.”

Lin Yin thought, it’s better to clarify everything at once. She never wished to come back to the Gu family ever again.

Inside the living room, Lin Yin, who was naturally cold and reserved, sat in silence. The way the mother and son from the Meng family kept ogling her daughter was making her uncomfortable. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Zhou Mantong, with her affable nature, was more suited to be the hostess compared to Lin Yin. She took good care of everyone and remained equally polite to Lin Yin and Gu Qingxin on the surface.

Tang Rongling passed the peeled apple to Gu YunCi. Gu YunCi took it shyly, expressing her thanks. Her sweetness made her look like a blissful little woman.

Tang Rongling looked at her with a light smile, tenderly tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear…

Gu Qingxin knew she shouldn’t pay attention to Tang Rongling anymore. From that day onwards, this man would have nothing to do with her…

But how could she change a habit cultivated over so many years with just a word? Always on the alert for his every action and response had become the most important, most natural thing in her life…

Seeing Tang Rongling’s tender and thoughtful gestures, Gu Qingxin’s heart seemed to ache to the point of numbness. When in all the past years, had Tang Rongling ever given her such a tender look?

She had stubbornly believed then that Tang Rongling was naturally aloof, and treated everyone the same. It wasn’t that he didn’t like her.. It was only now that she realized how wrong she’d been!
