Chapter 40: Chapter 40: The Strange Mother Gu

After hearing Mrs. Li’s words earlier, Gu Fuqiao thought Mother Gu truly favored Ouyang Qing.

Now it seems that maybe Mrs. Li cared too much for her, which made her interpret it as Mother Gu not caring about her, only about Ouyang Qing.

If she truly didn’t care, why would she ask about her marriage situation?

In her past life, Gu Fuqiao lost her parents when she was young, so deep down she still longed for parental affection. "Don’t think like that, Zhen Guo treats me well, and I quite like him."

Mother Gu didn’t expect Gu Fuqiao to say that, she looked at her somewhat surprised. "Ah Jiao, are you speaking from the heart?"

Seeing Mother Gu stare at her like this, Gu Fuqiao was worried Mother Gu would see through her disguise, so she thought about the original person’s personality and spoke from that perspective: "That’s right, at first I didn’t like Yan Zhen Guo at all. He’s coarse and doesn’t have anything I like, but later I found that although he seems rough, he’s actually quite good to me."

After saying this, Gu Fuqiao raised her eyes and said to Mother Gu, "If I married someone else, it might not be better than marrying Yan Zhen Guo; so Mom, don’t feel guilty anymore."

"This..." Mother Gu was momentarily stunned, she looked around hesitantly, then said, "As long as you like it, but if anything bothers you, you must tell me."

"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a loud door slamming sound outside.

Gu Fuqiao didn’t have time to be moved, she asked curiously, "What’s going on?" After speaking, she pushed the door open and looked outside, only to see all the doors on this floor were open, except for the one on the east side which was tightly closed.

Mother Gu also came out to look, seeing the closed door nearby, a hint of guilt and panic flashed across her face, but she quickly masked it.

"It’s nothing, maybe the wind slammed it shut, I’ll go check." Saying two things to Gu Fuqiao, Mother Gu walked towards that room.

What surprised Gu Fuqiao was that Mother Gu knocked gently on the door twice before entering the room.

It was entirely like a mother coaxing an upset child.

"Could it be Ouyang Qing inside? Did she hear Mother Gu’s concern for me and got jealous?" Gu Fuqiao thought for a moment and decided not to care about it.

It was evident that Mother Gu truly cared for this niece, so since Mother Gu was sincere with her, she would be sincere in return, and never make things difficult for her.

After all, she’s married now, doesn’t stay much at her parents’ place, and wouldn’t pose any dilemmas for Mother Gu.
