Chapter 348: Chapter 348: The Second Meeting with Father-in-Law (6)

Qiu Jiali’s eyes seemed on the verge of shedding tears. Turning back, she noticed that her mother was also staring at Ou Yanan’s face. Pouting, she asked, "What are you looking at, Mom? Do you like him too?"

"Nonsense! Do you think I’m one of those irresponsible, infatuated school-skippers who deserve a good beating?" Qiu sangu scolded in one breath, a cold sweat breaking out internally as she rapidly led her daughter away.

It wasn’t until they boarded the taxi that Qiu sangu’s heart finally stopped pounding wildly.

The face she had seen looked indeed like Gu Sheng, who had grown up.

Gu Sheng was the most handsome child in the Gu family, a face Qiu sangu remembered all her life.

Initially, it wasn’t that she hadn’t lent a helping hand; she also didn’t want to see the most beautiful child of the Gu family die. However, there was no way around it; although her husband appeared impressive and held the title of a boss, his factory’s funds were in dire straits then. She had explained this in detail to Gu’s father later, but both Gu’s mother and Gu Nuan would certainly not believe it.

"Mom, you’re really weird, why are you zoning out?" Qiu Jiali, tugging at Qiu sangu’s clothes, asked with a face full of confusion.

Qiu sangu couldn’t think of any explanation, only remembering that Gu Sheng had been taken away. Logically, in their lifetime, the Gu family should never expect to see this child again.

What was God trying to imply now?

Having a man who looked like Gu Sheng appear before her?

"Your classmate said, he’s very poor—" Qiu sangu suddenly grabbed her daughter and asked.

Qiu Jiali hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mom, what’s wrong with you? Are you asking about Dr. Ou? Dr. Ou is a diligent and frugal student."

Diligent and frugal truly meant poor. And the person who had taken Gu Sheng away, according to the rumors, was very wealthy.

Qiu sangu felt a stone lifting from her heart. Then she resumed her usual ways of disciplining her daughter, "You are forbidden from getting close to him!"

"Why?"

"How old are you this year? Right now, the most important thing for you is to study hard, at the very least get into a third-rate university for me, earn a college degree; otherwise, no man would truly appreciate you, understand?"

Qiu Jiali pouted and chose not to comment.

For her part, she just found her mother to be somewhat strange tonight.

"Also, once you get home, you better not mention this embarrassing incident to your aunt!"

Not tell Gu’s mother? Rest assured. She wouldn’t say anything. She didn’t want Gu’s mother or her own to become peculiar, staring intensely at Ou Yanan’s face, calling their young infatuated, as if their older generation wasn’t just the same.

Gu Nuan couldn’t remember when she fell asleep last night, only knowing that he didn’t return to the room last night and seemed to have gone out with Zhan Dapeng and Zang Xiaolian.

She had heard all the conversations they had in the living room yesterday.

She thought that he might have intentionally let her hear it.

Love and hate.

Apparently, that was his feelings toward his father, Gu Nuan thought.

As for her father-in-law, whom Gu Nuan didn’t have much contact with, their only public meeting had been from a distance, yet she could feel an emperor-like aura around him.

He wasn’t wrong. No man sitting on the throne lacks massive ambition or the desire to manipulate those beneath him.

Gu Nuan knew, even individuals as tough as Fang Yongxing had been devoured by Xiao Jianming, transforming into a loyal old employee resembling a faithful servant.

In terms of winning over people’s hearts, Xiao Jianming was clearly not on the same level as Chen Jiaming.

Getting up to brush her teeth and wash her face, as usual, she prepared for work when the time came.
