Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Second Meeting with Father-in-Law (1)

Zhan Dapeng suddenly felt a sense of relief that he was just an ordinary citizen, and not an heir to any great family clan; otherwise, he wouldn’t even have his freedom.

Before the water in the pot started to boil, Gu Nuan walked to one side, preparing to call her mother.

Generally speaking, video calls were expensive. If both parties weren’t using their home’s free Wi-Fi, they would opt to text instead of making a video call. But occasionally, like now, Gu Nuan felt uneasy, and it wasn’t due to her own issues—it was merely because her mother had left just as Tang Sili and Ou Yanan showed up at the door.

The two events were separated by no more than a few seconds.

When she made the call, it rang several times with no answer. This only increased Gu Nuan’s anxiety.

Click.

Finally, someone answered.

It was the voice of Aunt Qiu.

: "Gu Nuan?" Aunt Qiu called out from the other side of the video, her expression so exaggerated, her muscles almost seemed to bulge as she smiled at Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan almost cringed in response and asked, "Aunt Qiu, where’s my mom?"

: "Your mom’s in the bathroom, I’m answering for her. She’s taking a bath," Aunt Qiu explained.

A bath so early?

: "Our bathroom is small, just one; a few people cram in there together. Your mom said she’d go first," Aunt Qiu said.

It sounded normal enough.

Aunt Qiu continued, her expression mysteriously suggestive, gesturing and writing to Gu Nuan, "Your mom came to see you today; where did you two go? Did she say anything to you?"

What could her mom have told her? Was there something her mom didn’t tell her?

This caused Gu Nuan to remember the expression on her mother’s face earlier. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Aunt Qiu, what is it? My mom mentioned it briefly to me, but I didn’t quite understand."

Aunt Qiu, unaware of the trap, immediately blurted out, "I know I’m meddling. Just after I mentioned it last time, didn’t you scold your dad and me? But honestly, I mean well for your family. Gu Nuan, Aunt Qiu knows you’re proud, and ordinary men wouldn’t dare approach you. This man, your mom met him and thought his temperament was good. Don’t think just because he seems like he’s been married, he’s actually still a virgin, and has never messed around with any woman—Aunt Qiu guarantees that. If he hadn’t looked down on our Jiali, why would I reluctantly offer him to you?"

So that was the issue.

Aunt Qiu hadn’t given up her matchmaking ways. She had something in common with the Xiao sisters in this regard.

Gu Nuan had never known that women at that age liked playing matchmaker so much.

It all came down to interests driving them.

Of course, Gu Nuan doubted that her mom, having met her husband today, would continue to mention the man Aunt Qiu introduced to her, so that plan was definitely off.

Gu Nuan coughed lightly and was just about to say something.

Suddenly, a cold hand reached over her shoulder and shut off her phone with a tap.

The soup on the kitchen stove was actually boiling over, sounding a warning alarm. Puzzled by this, the three men in the living room felt something was off; Xiao Yebai immediately sprang up and walked into the kitchen worried about his wife. As he got closer, he realized she was on a call, which outraged him.

Someone was indeed trying to encourage his wife to cuckold him!

Gu Nuan turned around and indeed saw Yebai’s face stiffen like a steel plate, his eyes filled with resentment and murderous intent towards someone.
