Chapter 230: Chapter 229: The Fisher’s Gains (1)

Gu Ningyi glanced at the unexpected guest, raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn’t say anything as he walked straight into the living room and sat down in front of the elegant lady. "Mom."

The elegant lady was extremely beautiful, wearing a plain long cheongsam, draped in a fox fur shawl, with a white pearl necklace hanging around her slender neck. She was well-maintained and still charming, though the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes subtly revealed her age. She had a pair of beautiful eyes, and it was evident that Gu Ningyi’s handsome eyes were inherited from her.

Mrs. Gu, Liang Xuerou, saw her son, her eyebrows curved with a smile, "Son, you’re finally back. I’ve missed you so much. Come here, let me have a good look at you."

Liang Xuerou extended her hand towards Gu Ningyi. Gu Ningyi did not refuse, holding her hand, he got up and sat beside her. Liang Xuerou meticulously examined Gu Ningyi from top to bottom, then with her usual affectionate expression said, "Son, you’ve lost weight again."

Gu Ningyi slightly pulled at the corners of his mouth, not responding, but his dark eyes glanced to the woman sitting on the other side of Mrs. Gu.

Bright eyes, white teeth, beautiful and elegant, it was Yuan Shi.

Noticing Gu Ningyi’s gaze, Yuan Shi unconsciously straightened her back, lightly clasped her hands, slowly raised her eyes, and met Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes, then displayed a smile she had practiced hundreds of times, softly speaking, "Ningyi, long time no see."

This group of people often had parties and gatherings to maintain relationships and communicate, so they would meet occasionally. But for the past two months, he had been entirely focused on Dong Xin Yan, rarely going out for social events, and naturally had not met Yuan Shi.

Their last meeting was at her hospital, and it did not end pleasantly.

However, since Yuan Shi could face him so calmly now, it proved that she was showing weakness. After all, there was still some affection from growing up together, and considering Yuan Shen’s presence, Gu Ningyi did not make things difficult for her, responding with a bland grunt.

A flash of light appeared in Yuan Shi’s eyes, and delight surged up in her heart.

She had been worried that Gu Ningyi was still angry with her, but now it seemed he had calmed down, and that previous incident was probably over.

After all... wasn’t there something different?

If other women made him angry, with his proud young master’s temperament, you wouldn’t expect him to pay attention to you, let alone show a kind face, yet he wasn’t mad at her.

Yuan Shi’s heart, which had been disheartened for a long time, uncontrollably began to rekindle.

"Why did you come?"

Gu Ningyi lazily asked again. The first of every month was the day his family had dinner together, which familiar people knew, so generally, no one would choose this time to visit unannounced.

Gu Ningyi’s tone was mild, yet inexplicably pressured, causing Yuan Shi’s gaze to evade.

She naturally knew that visiting today was inappropriate. Originally, she hadn’t planned on coming, but today, she learned something extremely shocking, shocking enough that she disregarded appropriateness and came impulsively.

The shocking event was that this afternoon, on the set, Gu Ningyi had stepped in to discipline Tang Qian for Dong Xin Yan.

She and Tang Qian were so-called close friends within the circle, and that night, she had personally seen Gu Ningyi take Dong Xin Yan to Nahai Blue Bay villa, consumed with anger and jealousy, unable to release it.
