Su Yixia’s entire body suddenly lurched backward, caught off guard by Gu Mom’s ferocity, and she almost stumbled and fell due to the instability of her high-heeled shoes.
Shocked eyes then fixed on Gu Mom’s face, which looked like it belonged to an ordinary market vendor, thinking: How could this woman suddenly become so vicious? It’s just a bunch of pickles.
For the sake of her own children, how could Gu Mom not be fierce? If she could strangle the Su Yixia in front of her to death right now, Gu Mom would be willing.
Because, Gu Mom had finally seen something, this girl, as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, who claimed to be her daughter’s classmate, was actually a venomous snake! A disgustingly ugly one, envious of her daughter!
Feeling Gu Mom’s icy glare, sharp as a pair of knives, Su Yixia couldn’t help but shiver inwardly.
So, this was the terrifying intensity of a market vendor’s wrath. But, after all, she was just a vendor—should someone like Miss Su Yixia be afraid?
Su Yixia steadied herself, her lips curving into a smile. Despite Gu Mom’s frosty demeanor, she spoke warmly and cordially, "Auntie, what are you talking about? You clearly recognize me; otherwise, why would you have followed me in here?"
"I’m saying I suddenly went blind and mistook someone for another. How could I know a beautiful pedigree dog like you?" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Gu Mom’s sudden witty comebacks shocked the audience once again.
A certain man’s heart immediately raced with an excellent thought: Mother-in-law’s poisonous tongue seemed to outdo his own. Good, good, very good!
Someone once said she was a flower planted on a pile of manure, but now, she had been likened to a dog by a market vendor like Gu Mom. Even if it was a poodle, it was still a dog!
Su Yixia’s expression instantly thundered with rage. If it weren’t for the presence of the Xiao Family and so many others, she would have rushed forward to slap Gu Mom’s face right then and there.
Without delay, Gu Mom turned and continued walking, heading straight for the main door, aiming to leave and vanish from this place. Soon everyone would realize this was all a misunderstanding. Her daughter was not of humble origins, not the daughter of a market vendor like herself, but was instead like the elegantly dressed, rich heiress she presented as.
Just as Gu Mom’s black canvas shoes took a step forward, a voice called out from behind: "Mom—"
"Mom," such a clear voice, such precise words, echoed inside and outside the Xiao Family’s hall.
No one could pretend not to hear it.
Everyone must have been guessing whether this "Mom" would actually be voiced. But when it unexpectedly did sound, everyone was so astonished, as if seeing a meteor fall from the sky, completely flabbergasted.
For it came out so naturally, with not the slightest obstruction or hesitation, sharply contrasting the pretense of the woman who had brought Gu Mom here.
Is it easy to call out "Mom"?
At that moment, everyone knew all too well that this was probably the most difficult choice in a person’s life.
A flicker of light passed through Grandma Xiao’s eyes. As a mother herself, she suddenly felt a pang of envy toward Gu Mom.
Because not every child can call out "Mom" in front of everyone in such a moment.
With so many temptations in the world, will a sparrow that has transformed into a phoenix be willing to fall from the branch and return to being a sparrow?
After all, after calling out that "Mom," it’s very possible to become like a demon facing its reflection in a mirror that reveals one’s true form, forced to revert to an ugly visage, ashamed to be seen by the world.
