Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Doting on One’s Own Daughter

Mother Gu heard this, unlike her usual cold demeanor, she became nervous and pulled Ouyang Qing to try to stop her from continuing.

"Why, does this old woman need anyone to meddle with whom she likes?" Old Mrs. Gu said in a deep voice.

Ouyang Qing was unhappy in her heart but dared not intervene, while Mother Gu was afraid of Old Mrs. Gu yet explained, "Mom, it’s not what you think, Qingqing didn’t mean it."

Old Mrs. Gu didn’t look at Ouyang Qing but fixed her gaze on Mother Gu. Although she didn’t say a word, it scared Mother Gu into silence. Finally, Father Gu couldn’t watch any longer and spoke, "Mom, don’t treat Rong like this as soon as you come back, you’ve always known she’s timid."

Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Father Gu indifferently and said, "Your wife should be managed by you, I won’t say much else, but what about this Ouyang girl staying in our Gu Family?"

Upon hearing the Old Mrs. Gu’s words, Gu Fuqiao was somewhat amused. It seemed Old Mrs. Gu really didn’t like this Ouyang Qing! It would be best to drive her away! It saves her from flaunting in front of us every day.

Gu Fuqiao knew at this moment Mother Gu’s expression must be quite interesting. She looked up and indeed saw Mother Gu’s face ashen. Ouyang Qing naturally didn’t want to return to that fallen Ouyang Family, she held Mother Gu’s hand tightly, hoping Mother Gu would speak on her behalf.

Though Mother Gu was in a difficult position herself, she still looked at Father Gu sitting beside her.

Father Gu spoke, "Mom, you know Rong’er’s health isn’t good, and Ah Jiao is married. If Qingqing doesn’t stay to help care, who knows what would happen."

Father Gu’s attitude made Gu Fuqiao understand, no matter how obsessed he was with academics, he loved Mother Gu in his heart. So he still defended Mother Gu in front of her own mother.

It seemed Father Gu’s indifference to Gu Fuqiao also had certain ties to Mother Gu’s attitude toward her. After all, Father Gu could plead with the old lady for Ouyang Qing, whom Mother Gu cared about. Therefore, Father Gu wasn’t a man to be close with.

The Old Mrs. Gu didn’t speak much to Father Gu, only coldly said, "Handle your own family as you see fit!" After finishing her words, Old Mrs. Gu picked up the cane beside her to stand up, Gu Fuqiao saw this and quickly stood up to assist her.

At the moment Gu Fuqiao came forward to help, Old Mrs. Gu was slightly stunned, and then her wrinkled lips formed a brief, faint smile that quickly disappeared. Mrs. Li was about to help but was stopped by Old Mrs. Gu, who had a woman in her fifties or sixties by her side.

Old Mrs. Gu said to the woman, "Sister Sun, no need to come, I have some things to discuss with Ah Jiao."

Sister Sun and Mrs. Li were similar in age, yet Sister Sun didn’t at all seem like a servant, but rather like a cultured city aunt.

She nodded in agreement.

After Gu Fuqiao followed Old Mrs. Gu upstairs, Ouyang Qing almost went mad. She gripped Mother Gu’s hand, angrily saying, "Aunt, I won’t go back, I won’t go back!"

Seeing Ouyang Qing like this, Mother Gu felt pain deep in her bones. She quickly nodded, soothingly said, "Don’t worry, Aunt won’t let you go back. Now that Ah Jiao is married, you are the young lady of our Gu Family, you won’t be sent back."

Fortunately, Sister Sunsun, who had been with Old Mrs. Gu, left early, but Mrs. Li heard everything and felt awful.

She bit her lip and couldn’t help but remind, "Ma’am, talking like this will make the young lady sad."

"Sad about what?" Mother Gu raised her eyebrows and said, "Qingqing never had a mother since childhood, she is luckier by comparison."

Hearing this, Ouyang Qing glared at Mother Gu and yelled at Mrs. Li, "What do you know, you’re just a servant, go away!"

Mrs. Li was so shocked by the scolding that Father Gu waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Li, go and take a rest first." Hearing this, Mrs. Li left covering her face.

After Mrs. Li left, Father Gu said to Mother Gu, "You should be careful, at least don’t mention these things when Mom’s here."

Upon hearing Old Mrs. Gu’s name, Mother Gu shrank slightly but, looking at Ouyang Qing in front of her, she straightened her backbone and said, "When is Mom leaving here?"

Father Gu hesitated and pushed his glasses, saying, "Mom said she would stay for at least three months."

"What, three months!" Hearing this answer, Ouyang Qing was startled and stood up, yelling at Mother Gu, "Aunt, if Grandma stays for three months, I’ll surely be sent back home! I don’t care, I won’t go back!"

"Don’t worry, you won’t be sent back. Your elder sister will leave too, as long as we usually have less contact with the old lady, there will be no problem." Mother Gu comforted Ouyang Qing.

But Ouyang Qing was quite emotional, so Mother Gu had to say, "How about Aunt will take you to buy some cloth tomorrow and find the best tailor to make clothes for you?"

"Make clothes?" Hearing this, Ouyang Qing slightly relaxed. She glanced sideways at Father Gu sitting beside and said, "Alright, but Aunt, I have something to say to you."

After speaking, Ouyang Qing turned directly and walked away.

When Mother Gu followed Ouyang Qing back to the room, she saw Ouyang Qing locking the door. Ouyang Qing turned around with a sullen face and said, "I don’t care, Aunt, if you don’t let Gu Fuqiao divorce Yan Zhen Guo, I’ll die right in front of you."

Seeing Ouyang Qing like this, Mother Gu also became nervous. Since childhood, anything Ouyang Qing wanted, Mother Gu always fulfilled. It was the first time hearing Ouyang Qing say something like this. Her heart was in a panic, and she quickly said, "Alright, alright, Aunt will find a way for you. Your elder sister doesn’t like that vulgar man anyway, there will be no problem."

Hearing these words, Ouyang Qing naturally laughed with joy but still kept a cold face towards Mother Gu and said, "Alright then, Aunt, what you promised me must be done, otherwise, how pitiful would a child without a mother be... unloved by a mother, could not be with someone she likes..." As she spoke, Ouyang Qing’s voice had traces of sobbing.

Upon hearing this, Mother Gu’s heart ached terribly, she hugged Ouyang Qing into her arms and said, "Qingqing, don’t worry. Aunt promises to do what she promised you. You don’t have a mother, Aunt is like your mother. Aunt cares for you as her own daughter. Don’t you know that yet?"

Ouyang Qing’s body trembled in Mother Gu’s arms, crying making Mother Gu’s heart ache. But how would Mother Gu know, Ouyang Qing wasn’t crying at all, she was just pretending, trembling her body in fake sobs?
