At the Chu residence.
Bai Dong sat on the sofa and watched the servants busy sorting out the things they had brought back from Korea. Chu Zhenting looked at his wife with a tender gaze. Although he was almost in his middle age years, he was gentle and handsome. He doted on his wife. After the two of them withdrew their involvement in the company, they had been traveling around the world.
The moment Gu Na entered the Chu residence, she threw herself into Bai Dong’s arms. “Auntie, it was my bad. You can scold me, but please don’t let Brother Yichen take it out on my family!”
Bai Dong patted Gu Na’s shoulder with a gentle smile. She was a natural beauty. Although she was old, she still looked to be in her thirties or forties.
“Girls mustn’t cry. Otherwise, they won’t look pretty. If Yichen has done something wrong, I’ll give him a talking to.”
Gu Na said shyly, “No, this time round I’m in the wrong. I shouldn’t have had dodgy ideas. Uncle and Auntie, I’m really sorry.”
Chu Zhenting looked at Gu Na lovingly. They had watched this child grow up. Although she was a little willful, they were very satisfied with her in all ways. It was harmless for girls to be a little willful. He had tried all along to matchmake her with Yichen, but Yichen never had much feelings for her.
Chu Zhenting understood that relationships could not be forced. Back then, no matter how many women his family had shortlisted for him, he did not like any of them. Instead, he fell in love with his current wife at first sight. Although their journey to be together was a little bumpy, they rode it out safely.
Chu Yichen entered the house. When he saw Gu Na rushing into his mother’s arms, there was only mockery in his eyes.
“Alright, I know. I don’t blame you. Let’s forget about this matter. We won’t mention this incident again. You and Yichen are as before.” Bai Dong asked the servant to get some napkins and help Gu Na wipe her tears. She had watched this child grow up and had a deep relationship with her. “Yichen, did you hear what I said?”
Bai Dong was unhappy to see that her son did not express his stance. She had just returned from overseas, but not only did he not hug her, he was cold and distant.
Chu Zhenting was afraid that his son would get into a conflict with his wife, so he immediately winked at his son. “Don’t worry, he understands.”
Only then did Gu Na smile. He knew that her uncle and auntie liked her.
“Yichen, come with me to the study. I want to know more about the company’s recent operations.” Chu Zhenting helped his son out of the predicament. He knew his son’s temper well. He did not want things to be thrown into chaos the moment they returned.
Chu Yichen followed Chu Zhenting to the study on the second floor.
Bai Dong got the servants to bring in the specialties that they had specially brought over for Gu Na to eat.
Gu Na took a bite of the rice cake and wheedled, “Auntie, you’re really getting younger and younger. When I stand next to you, people who don’t know better will think that we’re sisters.”
Bai Dong was amused. She touched her cheek and said, “Really? I went for some facials this time round.
“I see. Uncle really dotes on you. You have no idea how many women envy you.”
Bai Dong smiled. That was true. Her husband pandered to her, and her son was so capable. The Chu family was rich and powerful, and countless women envied her.
“But Auntie, did you know that Li An’an’s father was a murderer? She deliberately seduced Brother Yichen, I’m sure she’s after his money. We can’t allow such a person by Brother Yichen’s side. It will harm him.”
“You said her father was a murderer?” Bai Dong didn’t like what she heard. How could a woman of such status stay by her son’s side?
Gu Na continued timidly, “The reason why Brother Yichen doesn’t like me is because I make things difficult for Li An’an every time, but he protects her. I really don’t know what to do now. Fortunately, you’re back..”
