Chapter 1921: 1921. Gu Xia Extra Chapter (123)
Xia Yumo was somewhat unable to stand her fawning appearance that was hair-raisingly creepy, so she merely nodded at her with an indifferent look, then turned to the couple, Xue Guochong.
Still, she politely greeted, "Uncle, Aunt."
The couple, Xue Guochong, was utterly flattered, and they hastily nodded in response.
Xia Yumo had never had any formal interaction with the couple, Xue Guochong, but to raise such a harsh daughter like Xue Yishan, they certainly weren’t anything good.
However, guests are guests after all, so she still needed to go through the necessary pleasantries.
As long as they didn’t cause trouble, she would give them face.
It was all out of consideration for her husband.
Xue Guochong couldn’t be too warm towards Xia Yumo, so naturally, such ingratiating duties were handed over to Madame Xue.
After exchanging greetings, Madame Xue stepped forward familiarly, warmly grasping Xia Yumo’s hands and looking her up and down, saying softly:
"Our Mo Mo seems to get more beautiful every time I see her. I always feel she is more beautiful than the last time."
Flattery costs nothing, after all.
Xia Yumo, on the other hand, was blushing from being fawned over. She could only laugh awkwardly and usher them into the house.
"Uncle, Aunt, please sit."
Gu Junhang went to brew some coffee for them.
Although they knew that these people had ulterior motives, they still did not overlook the basic courtesy of hospitality.
To ingratiate herself with Xia Yumo, Xue Yishan took the initiative to sit next to her after her parents sat down.
Feeling her intentionally getting closer, Xia Yumo was a bit uncomfortable. She subtly moved a little sideways and glanced at her indifferently.
Xue Yishan didn’t notice her repulsion and continued her enthusiastic flattery, saying:
"Cousin’s wife, what perfume are you wearing? It smells so good, I want to buy it too."
Xia Yumo, listening to her obviously flattering words, laughed and sniffed her own arm, saying:
"I’m not wearing any perfume; it’s probably the smell of laundry detergent."
Xue Yishan’s ingratiating smile froze for a moment, and a clear look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
But she quickly adjusted her expression and laughed embarrassedly:
"So it’s the smell of laundry detergent. It’s so fragrant! When I go home, I’ll have the servant change to this brand."
Xia Yumo responded with a polite smile and did not engage in further conversation.
Xue Yishan felt a bit snubbed. She glared at Xia Yumo in her heart, but the smile on her face remained.
Gu Junhang, on the other hand, did not have the patience to beat around the bush with them and directly asked,
"Uncle, you came looking for me today, is there something you need?"
The smile on Xue Guochong’s face slightly faded upon hearing this. He knew that Gu Junhang didn’t have time to waste with him, so he decided to cut to the chase.
He sighed and said, "Uncle has heard about the company in Xinma going bankrupt, all because of your doing."
He looked at Gu Junhang, and his face showed no signs of blaming Gu Junhang. Instead, he expressed a sense of helplessness and desolation.
Gu Junhang nonchalantly raised one eyebrow, not denying his involvement. Even if Xue Guochong knew about it, he seemed not to care.
Xue Guochong continued to say:
"Junhang, Uncle just found out that your mother is so careless. Why does she want to make trouble when her life is good? But, Junhang, everything has to be reasonable. Your mother is an adult. Uncle can’t control what she wants to do. It’s not fair to Uncle if you punish him for what your mother has done, right?"
