"What’s the problem?"
Lu’s mother hastily shook her head:
"No, no problem, just...."
For ordinary people, this indeed isn’t a problem.
But is Jiang Ye an ordinary person?
Is the Jiang Family ordinary?
Even the Lu Family isn’t ordinary.
At least, Mr. Lu hasn’t washed dishes for all these years, he just does the work of a chef.
"Mom, shouldn’t your thinking progress a bit?"
As her own daughter, how could she not guess her mother’s thoughts?
Isn’t it perfectly normal for men to wash pots, do dishes, and take care of children?
Besides, it’s not like he does it for every meal every day, right?
"Alright, alright, alright, I can’t handle your matters with Xiao Ye, whatever you like."
The mother and daughter talked for quite a while, and just when they were about to end the call, Lu Jing suddenly asked:
"Mom, is there something between Jiang Qiu and the Gu Family?"
As a younger generation, she definitely wouldn’t know much about the older generations’ affairs.
But Lu’s mother was a peer to them, and everyone was in the same circle, so she surely knew some bits.
Sure enough, after Lu Jing asked, Lu’s mother replied: Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novèlfire.net
"There was something, but that’s all many years ago now."
There really was something?
Lu Jing immediately got gossipy:
"Mom, quickly tell me, what exactly is going on between Jiang Qiu and the Gu Family?"
Lu’s mother seemed reluctant to talk:
"Why are you asking this? It’s not good for a young lady to always poke into other people’s private affairs; it has nothing to do with you!"
Nothing to do with me?
"Mom, did you forget? I just sent Jiang Qiu to the Police Station the other day."
How could it have nothing to do with me?
To put it bluntly, that’s sheer enmity.
Lu’s mother then realized what she was talking about and was suddenly struck like thunder:
"Right, I actually forgot."
Look at this memory, truly getting on in years!
"Jiang Qiu and that person from the Gu Family were together before."
"Yeah, that’s the rumor, but no one has actually seen it."
But as the saying goes: no smoke without fire, right?
To Lu Jing, knowing this information cleared up some matters.
"Mom, between Gu Xiyue and Jiang Qiu..."
Lu’s mother hastily said:
"Don’t think too much, the two aren’t related by blood, Gu’s daughter is indeed Mrs. Gu’s biological child."
"I know they aren’t mother and daughter, but Jiang Qiu is too good to Gu Xiyue, it’s a bit excessive, it makes people wonder."
On the phone, Lu’s mother hesitated for a moment before whispering closely:
"Girl, your mom had her suspicions too, but lacked the evidence."
"Mom, what did you suspect?"
"Um... Gu Xiyue is Mrs. Gu’s biological daughter, but whether Gu Family’s young master is her biological child, that’s yet to be determined!"
The young master of the Gu Family?
You mean the Gu Family’s heir, Gu Xiyue’s own brother?
No, no, no, whether he’s her real brother is still a question.
"Mom, is this... possible?"
"Whether it’s possible, I don’t know, it’s just something mentioned in passing when people gossiped many years ago."
Whether it’s true needs to be verified somehow.
Lu Jing was shocked. If things were really as Lu’s mother speculated, then it would be quite a sight when uncovered.
"Okay, Mom, I got it, hanging up now."
Typical pulling up the ladder!
