Chapter 297: Chapter 297: A Child Does Not Despise an Ugly Mother (1)

Gu Nuan’s mother came to visit her daughter, dressed as usual in the ordinary attire of a commoner. Thus, she wore a sky-blue short-sleeved T-shirt on top, ordinary black elasticated capri pants, and a pair of cheap canvas shoes on her feet. Her entire presence exuded the inexpensive aura of the average auntie who dances and exercises in the square.

The guests standing outside the Xiao Family’s grand mansion and peering through the windows were already finding it strange when they saw Gu Nuan’s mother walking into the Xiao residence.

This woman, dressed like that, would be considered disrespectful at any family’s event, let alone at the grand birthday feast hosted by Grandma Xiao today.

The question was, where did this woman come from, and why was she inappropriately appearing here?

When a large group of people watched with great curiosity, they saw Grandma Xiao emerge from the study upon hearing the commotion, followed by Gu Nuan. Then, Su Yixia called out in Gu Nuan’s direction, "Gu Nuan, your mother is here—"

Without a doubt, this shout sent a wave of shock through the people standing inside the Xiao mansion and those lingering outside the windows.

The three Xiao sisters looked at Gu Nuan’s mother’s face with disbelief.

As a typical housewife who had married without becoming a wealthy matron, Gu Nuan’s mother’s labor-worn face bore obvious marks. She might have been around the same age as the Xiao sisters, but her skin was not nearly as good. Wrinkles were already permanently etched on her face, crow’s feet and eye bags conspicuously prominent.

Her hair had not been tended to, resulting in about a quarter of white strands amidst the black, making her look even older than the eighty-year-old Grandma Xiao.

At that moment, the thought that might have involuntarily surfaced in the minds of the Xiao women: A poor woman ultimately ends up like this, aging so quickly, it’s simply unbearable to witness.

Otherwise, with Gu Nuan’s mother’s genes that could produce a daughter as delicate and pretty as Gu Nuan, she must have been quite attractive when she was younger. But now, there was only one word to describe her, hideous, simply hideous!

Amidst the deathly silence surrounding them and the varied, incredibly vivid expressions on the faces of the guests upon seeing Gu Nuan’s mother, Su Yixia couldn’t help but smugly curl her little chin in satisfaction.

This time, it was definitely a bucket of ice-cold water from the century, enough to startle the Xiao Family, enough to awaken Yebai.

What was Gu Nuan compared to this? Look at her mother, the circumstances of her family, her aging appearance brimming with the cheapness of pickled vegetables, could Yebai, with his fastidious habits, ever tolerate that?

She knew that Yebai had always flaunted luxury on social media, never using anything but brand-name goods, and he had the habit of spending money like water.

Yebai might be the type of man who would put a designer diamond necklace on his dog.

And comparing him to the pickled-vegetable-smelling people from the Gu Family, they were from two different worlds, inherently worlds apart. If Yebai had been temporarily bewitched or gone mad because of Gu Nuan before, he must be very clear-headed now.

With that thought, Su Yixia frantically searched for Yebai among the crowd. As she scanned the room, she suddenly found Yebai standing behind the Xiao sisters.

His usual style was to always steal the limelight, but his now-quiet standing behind his sisters seemed shocking.

Su Yixia felt a chilling shiver run down her spine, and her whole body nearly convulsed.

She refused to believe that he was hiding in the crowd because he was embarrassed by the appalling appearance of his wife’s mother at this venue, which had brought shame upon him. No, the expression on Yebai’s face at the moment, the cruel perfection of his lips slightly raised in wicked amusement.
