Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuzhu, the two sisters, glanced at the face of the foolish Xiao Shuju and unanimously adopted a quiet demeanor. The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Clearly, they were unaware of the play that the unaware youngest sister had suddenly orchestrated. The sudden appearance of Gu’s mother caught them off guard as well, uninformed.
But regarding this youngest sister, whether she is genuinely foolish or pretending, it seems there indeed might be some genuine foolishness.
Because the result of this act probably won’t go as the youngest expects.
The genuinely foolish person was definitely not Gu Nuan!
Now that Gu’s mother had appeared, even if she didn’t admit it right away, anyone desiring to know could easily uncover the truth of the matter. By then, even if Gu Nuan’s humble origins were not considered a flaw, she might still suffer a tarnished reputation for disowning her own mother.
At that time, the Xiao Family could completely use this excuse to drive Gu Nuan away.
Just being from a humble background is not enough reason to drive away a daughter-in-law. Only if the daughter-in-law had committed something that undermined social morals would it stand as a perfectly justified reason.
From this logic, it was clear, the one who became a joke at the scene was not Gu’s mother and daughter, but rather the person who had brought Gu’s mother in.
Su Yixia suddenly felt that something was amiss, the way people looked at her was supposed to be admiring as if they were looking at a beautiful woman, a vision pleasing to the eyes with adoration fit for a goddess, yet it seemed as though when everyone’s gaze fell on her again, it had changed.
Including those men who had been flirtatiously pleasing her at the party, their looks now turned into mocking, laughable, even cold glances.
This was wrong. Such disdainful looks should be directed at Gu’s mother and Gu Nuan, why were they directed at her?
Surely, something was mistaken.
A great unease emerged in Su Yixia’s heart, and she immediately looked to her accomplice Lin Yishan.
Lin Yishan had already disappeared without a trace, and it was unclear where she had hidden.
Yet when she turned around, she could clearly meet the eyes of Grandma Xiao.
The gaze from Grandma Xiao was both cold and sharp, like a needle piercing into her eyes.
Su Yixia almost closed her eyes, wishing she could burrow into a hole.
She shrank back, reluctantly, and called out in a low voice, "Grandma—"
Grandma Xiao just scoffed coldly, and that cold laugh was incredibly chilling.
Su Yixia felt like she had fallen into an icy pit wholeheartedly.
"Since we know she’s a distinguished guest," Grandma Xiao spoke, "Butler, please hurry and take our guest to the rest room to relax."
While speaking, the elderly woman’s gaze didn’t forget the grandson standing there.
Her grandson was watching her, ready to seize her fatal flaws at any moment.
Grandma Xiao didn’t feel the slightest chill about this; she thought, and even delightedly thought: My grandson has grown up, he is absolutely not a wastrel. Those outsiders can finally shut their mouths!
Fools, like Su Yixia. Smart people should have felt how terrifying her grandson was by now.
It was instead Gu’s mother who, after being held by her daughter, suddenly felt dizzy.
Aren’t they planning to drive us mother and daughter out?
When Gu’s mother forcefully opened her eyes, she met her daughter’s calm gaze, and instantly felt invigorated. Since they had asked her to stay, she couldn’t afford to lose her daughter’s face.
To say that one could raise a daughter as brilliant as Gu Nuan, Gu’s mother definitely wasn’t as foolish as Su Yixia in terms of wisdom.
Gu’s mother didn’t say more, planning not to casually utter another word, let alone wag her tail like a happy dog because Grandma Xiao asked her to stay as an honored guest. Because, anyone could see, this old lady wielded great power and was certainly a wealthy and noble master.
