Chapter 115: Chapter 115 The Mother-in-Law Arrives
Qiu Yurou had just finished a phone call with a girl overseas.
The girl’s na was Wan Man Yu, and she was the daughter-in-law Qiu Yurou had in mind; she felt that Wan Man Yu would be perfect for Gu Wei, and now she was just waiting for her to return to the country and for Gu Wei to co ho.
Once the two t, Qiu Yurou had plenty of thods to bring them together.
But then she heard that Su ixi had returned!
“Where did she return to?” Qiu Yurou asked Linda.
Linda was her special assistant, who helped with both life and work.
...
Linda said, “She’s back in the apartnt that the second young master bought in the city.”
Gu Wei had always been reluctant to sell that apartnt, and Qiu Yurou was worried about another Su ixi popping up, so she had soone keep watch.
“What is she doing back at that apartnt?” Qiu Yurou asked, “Didn’t that woman agree to a divorce? Her na seems to be… Su ixi, right?”
Linda paused before stating, “According to my investigation, the second young master and Su ixi have a hotel record in a county town at the border. Moreover, Su ixi once provided dical support there for a year and a half, and coincidentally, the second young master was also serving there during that ti. They might have reconciled during that period.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yurou’s nails dug instantly into her flesh, and her eyes seed to spit fire.
…
It was already the end of the year, and since Su ixi was returning to the hospital to work only after the New Year, she decided to properly arrange the ho she shared with Gu Wei.
The master bedroom contained things Gu Wei had used, but the colors of his sheets and quilt were too plain, with a masculine style. She found them not warm enough, so she changed to a set with warr colors.
The curtains were too cold in tone, so she replaced those, too.
She also fetched so personal items from the old house.
That day, while she was dusting the room, she heard the doorbell ring.
After coming back, she had only ntioned her return to Zhou Yuan, but Zhou Yuan and Mr. Zhou had gone to Sanya for a vacation, saying they would spend the New Year there directly.
The house was equipped with a video doorbell, which showed Qiu Yurou and her assistant standing outside.
At that instant, Su ixi felt her scalp tingle.
However, what was bound to co would always co.
Since she had decided to spend the rest of her life with Gu Wei, she needed to face all the troubles that ca with it.
She opened the door.
Facing Qiu Yurou’s cold expression, she forced a smile, then softly called out, “Mother.”
Qiu Yurou snorted coldly without saying a word, walking in and circling the inside of the house.
Her formidable presence made the room seem to drop several degrees in temperature instantly.
After a full circle, she approached Su ixi.
Then she looked at Su ixi with a crushing gaze.
Though the gaze couldn’t kill, it pelted down on Su ixi like hail, on her body and her face.
Su ixi held her ground, constantly encouraging herself in her mind: I must endure, I must endure.
“When did you co back?” Qiu Yurou finally spoke.
Su ixi said, “A day ago.”
“Before, I told you to divorce Gu Wei, and you agreed readily, didn’t you? How co you are tangled up with Gu Wei again?” Qiu Yurou asked.
Su ixi smiled, choosing not to answer directly but instead said, “Mother, why don’t you sit down first. I can report to you in detail what has happened over the past year.”
Having said that, Su ixi was about to go make tea.
Qiu Yurou stopped her: “No need. What has happened between you and Gu Wei this past year, I’m not interested.”
Su ixi’s hand holding the tea leaves paused.
Well, that saved her so effort.
Qiu Yurou looked at her again: “It’s true, you and Gu Wei have not yet divorced, you are still legally husband and wife, but I ask you, do you really want to be the Gu’s daughter-in-law?”
Su ixi looked at her decisively: “I want to be Gu Wei’s wife.”
“Gu Wei is my Gu Family’s son. Marriage isn’t just about two people. You should understand that Gu Wei has responsibilities towards the Gu Family, so our family has requirents for a daughter-in-law. You are aware of these.”
Su ixi bit her lip, then smiled: “I know, and I will be a good daughter-in-law.”
Qiu Yurou then glanced one more ti at the setup of the ho and smiled: “Do you think being a good daughter-in-law is as simple as changing curtains and dusting tables? Since you insist on being the Gu’s daughter-in-law, please pack up and move back to the Gu Family ho today. I will teach you how to be a good Gu’s daughter-in-law.”
Su ixi and Linda were both stunned.
Move back to the Gu Family’s ho?
What exactly was Qiu Yurou planning in her heart?
If she moved back, wouldn’t that be announcing to all their relatives and friends that she was Gu Wei’s wife?
Su ixi’s hand involuntarily clenched.
This was not so simple, this old lady must be plotting sothing!
“Mother, I’m quite comfortable living here, maybe it’s unnecessary to move back, isn’t it? Besides, you don’t like , so living under your watch would just trouble you, wouldn’t it?” Su ixi tried to reason.
Qiu Yurou gave a skin-deep smile: “It’s true, I am quite annoyed by you, but since you’re set on being the Gu Family’s daughter-in-law, as the matriarch, it’s necessary for to properly train you.”
After saying that, Qiu Yurou signaled Linda with a glance.
Linda, getting the hint, quickly made a phone call.
Shortly after, several bodyguards arrived, claiming they were there to help Su ixi with her luggage.
Su ixi took a deep breath.
Qiu Yurou’s actions were extrely frightening.
She was able to arrange for people to co and pick up luggage today; what if she could arrange for soone to be admitted to a ntal hospital tomorrow?
But then she thought, Qiu Yurou was the mother of Gu Cheng and Gu Wei; a mother of ill intentions likely couldn’t have given birth to such outstanding sons. She might just be a bit domineering, wanting to teach soone a lesson.
With that thought, Su ixi put on an air of calmness: “Mother, since you have personally invited back, then I will go back. I haven’t had much upbringing since I was little, so please do teach well.”
Qiu Yurou’s sharp gaze was fixed on her: “Don’t worry, once we live together, there will be plenty of opportunities to teach you.”
…
Su ixi had just moved back to the Gu Family ho when Gu Cheng received the news.
As soon as he got the news, he hurried back.
“Mother… Xiao Xi?”
Seeing Su ixi, Gu Cheng imdiately sensed an ominous premonition.
He had been in etings until now since yesterday; this morning Assistant Bai had been giving him aningful looks and ssaging him, but he had ignored them.
He should have looked at them earlier.
Upon seeing Gu Cheng, Qiu Yurou’s anger couldn’t find a place to land, “What are you doing back? You know what your brother has been up to during his service at the border, don’t you? He’s reconciled with his ex-wife; why didn’t you inform ? I had to go pick up my daughter-in-law myself.”
“Mother, why did you bring Xiao Xi back? Just let her stay in the apartnt Gu Wei bought.”
“How could that be okay? My daughter-in-law should, of course, be brought back ho. Can she be safe living alone outside? Can she receive proper care?”
Gu Cheng thought to himself: Give a break, who doesn’t know what you’re really thinking?
“Mother, why don’t I move back ho too? It will be livelier with more people in the house,” Gu Cheng suggested.
