Gu Wanbao was stunned. He immediately got off the bed and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Mdm Shen sitting in the central room with her head lowered, wiping her tears.
That low sobbing voice was actually indescribably melodious and pleasing to the ear.
Gu Wanbao could not help but feel an itch in his heart. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quietly approached her. “Why are you crying?”
Mdm Shen seemed to be shocked. She suddenly looked up with tears in the corners of her eyes.
“You, why are you home?” She quickly wiped her tears and turned her back to him.
“I just came back from work and I’m tired. I’m resting in my room.” In fact, he had been fooling around outside for the entire night and had only returned in the morning.
After all, he was going to get married soon. At that time, it would be inconvenient for him to do anything with a wife at home. Of course, he had to go out and have a good time before he got married.
He asked again, “Why are you crying?”
Mdm Shen shook her head. “It has nothing to do with you.”
“How so? We’re family now. Tell me quickly, who bullied you?”
Mdm Shen sneered. “What family? Who’s your family? You’re getting married soon. When the time comes, your family will be another woman. What am I?”
As she spoke, she started crying again. She was even sadder than before.
Gu Wanbao was stunned for a moment. He carefully thought about what she meant and his eyes lit up. He smiled casually. “You… can’t bear to leave me?”
Mdm Shen did not speak and only lowered her head to hide her tears.
Wasn’t her silence a tacit agreement?
Gu Wanbao’s vanity was greatly satisfied. He leaned forward. “Tell me, did you miss me?”
Mdm Shen seemed to be annoyed by his interrogation. She suddenly turned around and pushed him. “So what if I did? You’re going to marry someone else. I’m already your grandmother.”
Gu Wanbao laughed. “What grandmother? Is there a grandma as young as you? You’re my darling. I really cherish you.”
“Hmph, I can’t tell.”
She looked as if she didn’t believe him, but the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
Gu Wanbao looked at her seriously. “Don’t be sad. My heart is filled with you. You ignored me a while ago. Were you angry with me? Now that you see that I’m getting married, you’re nervous?”
“Nervous about what? Why should I care?”
“You don’t mean what you say.”
Before Mdm Shen could finish speaking, footsteps came from outside.
“I’ll hide first.” Gu Wanbao quickly turned around and returned to his room. Madam Shen looked at his back and snorted.
The next moment, Gu Gang’s wife, Madam Wang, strode in. When she saw Madam Shen, she scolded her, “How long have you been here? Don’t you have to work? If everyone is waiting for you to cook, won’t we starve to death?”
Gu Wanbao walked out with sleepy eyes. “Grandma, why are you shouting? You woke me up.”
Madam Wang’s expression changed. She quickly went forward and said, “Wanbao, you’re here. I’m sorry, I didn’t notice. I won’t be noisy anymore. Why don’t you sleep for a while more?”
“I’m already awake. Why should I sleep?” He looked around. “Where are my parents and the others?”
“They’re all at Gu Chuanzong’s house. His family has the most trouble.” Madam Wang was originally watching the commotion, but when she saw her daughter-in-law, Madam Yu, go over, she found out that they had returned from the county city and hurriedly ran back to find trouble with Madam Shen.
Gu Wanbao’s interest was piqued. “What happened to that family?”
“It’s said that they encountered a ghost. Hmph, it’s broad daylight. Where did the ghost come from?”
“Then I’ll go take a look too.”
Gu Wanbao ran out. When he arrived at Old Gu’s house, he saw that it was indeed surrounded by people.
When he finally squeezed in, he heard his grandfather talking..
