Mom Gu expressed gratitude on the surface while feeling uneasy inside. She had no idea what was really going on with her daughter’s illness.
She told a white lie to Aunt Qiu, saying she wanted to go out for a stroll. Aunt Qiu was about to take her daughter to school, so she couldn’t accompany Mom Gu.
At the intersection, Su Yide drove by and, after confirming each other’s identity, Mom Gu got into his car.
Since there was still time, and they needed to wait for a signal from his sister, Su Yide first took Mom Gu for a leisurely drive around the city.
Mom Gu had never been here before and thought this was the traffic congestion people talked about in the big city, so she didn’t suspect Su Yide’s aimless driving at all. Instead, she started asking him about her daughter’s condition.
As a doctor, Su Yide found it very easy to tell such lies, and he managed to baffle Mom Gu completely, preventing any suspicions from falling on him.
"Nuannuan’s illness isn’t severe, but she doesn’t take care of herself and rest," Su Yide said, smiling amiably at Mom Gu.
"What exactly is the matter, Doctor Su?" Mom Gu completely believed every word that Su Yide said.
"She has a throat inflammation, didn’t rest to recover, and her ears are problematic, right? If it develops into a middle ear infection, it could further weaken her body and the ear that was previously injured."
Mom Gu sighed deeply in her heart. Her daughter was working so hard to earn money, probably because of the shock of being dumped by Wa Zicong.
She had to talk to her daughter about this; it couldn’t go on .
Meanwhile, at the Xiao Family home.
The Xiao daughters gulped nervously. Grandma Xiao sat composed, tapping the lid of the teacup against the rim with her fingertips.
At this point, it seemed like the matter was settled. The old lady had spoken, forgiving her grandson’s impropriety this time.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yebai not only failed to appreciate his grandmother’s graciousness but suddenly smiled, a delightful expression on his face.
At the sight of their brother’s smile, the sisters felt a surge of anxiety once again.
Xiao Yebai rarely showed such a cheerful smile; such occasions could be counted on one’s fingers.
Grandma Xiao saw her grandson suddenly smiling so gracefully and composedly, her pupils unexpectedly widening as if mesmerized.
It was a well-known fact that Xiao Yebai was handsome and charming since childhood.
His beautiful face was usually marred by his sharp tongue, which, coupled with the image of a profligate, made his naturally handsome face appear somewhat sinister and greatly diminished his good looks. Otherwise, his reputation wouldn’t be tarnished, being labeled as a typical wayward playboy.
Swallowing nervously in her throat, Grandma Xiao asked with a lowered gaze, "What’s the matter, is there something else?"
"Grandma, I forgot to tell you. But I think my sisters should be aware of it. I mentioned it on Weibo a while back, and now everyone knows it. I got married a month ago."
His words were like a super bomb dropped in the Xiao household.
Except for Xiao Shuzhu who might be less attentive to domestic Weibo news while abroad, as she used FACEBOOK instead of Weibo. Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju definitely knew about it and had discussed it privately.
Could a frivolous child’s words on an unreliable medium like Weibo be trusted?
Of course, they did not believe it.
They all assumed Xiao Yebai was joking, seeking amusement, and fishing for attention. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuju knew that their brother had no other skill but the ability to spread wild talk online and gather friends, a talent that made both their families envious. Who didn’t know that nowadays, every entrepreneur flaunted the star effect? Only a strong star effect could promote their company’s brand.
