She thought about visiting Mother Zong Zheng after work and also checking on Mother Ding. She wondered how Mother Ding had been doing since Grandpa Fu passed away, seemingly still faring well!
At that mont, Song Ziyu called: "Bei Ran, after work I’ll take you to et soone!"
"Who is it?" Bei Ran asked with a smile, "Are you introducing a client to ?"
"No!" Song Ziyu said, "I’m almost at your building with my car, co down and then we’ll talk!"
Bei Ran packed up after work, then went downstairs and saw Song Ziyu’s car parked at the curb.
"Ziyu..." Bei Ran walked over and at that mont she noticed a middle-aged woman in the backseat of the car. Although dressed very simply, she still had the air of an educated family in her deanor.
Song Ziyu got out of the car and opened the back door: "Bei Ran, co, let introduce you, this is my aunt..."
"Hello aunt..." Bei Ran, being astute, imdiately realized that this might be Gu Qingchen’s mother. She really hadn’t expected Song Ziyu to be so enthusiastic as to bring Gu Qingchen’s mother to et her!
Song Ziyu cheerfully said: "You know, she’s also my cousin’s mother!"
Song Xiaoyin looked at Bei Ran, who aloof with a classic image of a professional white-collar worker, was also very beautiful, indeed a good match for Gu Qingchen.
"Miss Bei..." Song Xiaoyin gently patted the seat next to her, "Co sit here!"
Bei Ran originally planned to visit soone in the hospital, but now, she couldn’t leave.
So, the group went to a café.
Although Bei Ran was adept at handling all matters, the ugly bride still has to et the parents-in-law. She and Gu Qingchen had been together for four years without ever eting his mother, which made her feel a bit nervous and uneasy.
Song Ziyu said: "Bei Ran, my aunt is a very nice person, don’t be restrained!"
She turned her head and said to Song Xiaoyin: "Aunt, Bei Ran is a very good woman, you will definitely like her."
Song Xiaoyin nodded: "Miss Bei..."
"Aunt, just call Bei Ran," Bei Ran quickly interjected.
"Alright, Bei Ran, I am sorry for eting you so abruptly, mainly it’s because Ziyu ntioned you’re a beautiful and talented woman who does not look down on our Qingchen, so, I wanted to et you in person," said Song Xiaoyin.
Bei Ran gazed at her, how should she say that she and Gu Qingchen were actually divorced?
Song Ziyu glanced at his watch: "Why hasn’t he arrived yet?"
"Who else is coming?" Bei Ran beca alert.
"Of course, it’s cousin, he’s the main character, how can he not make an appearance?" Song Ziyu said, "I’ll hurry him along..."
"Don’t rush him, he might still have surgeries in the hospital..." Bei Ran said, and upon seeing Song Xiaoyin looking at her affirmatively, she quickly explained: "Actually, I and Doctor Gu... we..."
Song Xiaoyin, however, smiled: "It’s alright, Bei Ran, let’s order sothing to eat, we can eat while we wait."
"Right, aunt, you ca back to City A from overseas, I should throw you a welco banquet," said Song Ziyu.
"You don’t live in the country?" Bei Ran was sowhat surprised.
Song Xiaoyin explained: "I divorced Qingchen’s father a long ti ago and then settled abroad alone."
Bei Ran fell silent, but she could guess that there must have been unspeakable sadness behind a woman’s decision to live alone so far from her holand.
But Song Xiaoyin seed unconcerned as she picked so food for Bei Ran: "I just can’t stop worrying about Qingchen. It’s fine if he doesn’t want to take over the family business, and it’s his choice to be a doctor, but to have no one to take care of him... How could that be okay?"
Song Ziyu promptly joined in: "Don’t worry, aunt, Bei Ran is very good at taking care of people."
"Ziyu..." Bei Ran kicked Song Ziyu under the table, then said to Song Xiaoyin: "Aunt, actually, my relationship with Doctor Gu is just that of a patient and a doctor. I think you might have misunderstood..."
"Cousin..." Song Ziyu waved towards the door.
Gu Qingchen had already entered, standing right behind Bei Ran. He snorted in his heart. She was stating in front of his mother that she was just a patient and doctor with him?
This was a table for four. Since Song Xiaoyin and Song Ziyu were sitting on one side, Gu Qingchen naturally ended up sitting beside Bei Ran when he arrived.
As Gu Qingchen took the seat next to Bei Ran, she imdiately felt an oppressive feeling that was suffocating.
The man had been moody lately, and she didn’t know what might set him off.
However, when Gu Qingchen sat down, he didn’t give her a single glance but instead looked at Song Xiaoyin and said softly, "Mom, how co you’re back? You didn’t tell , I would have picked you up from the airport."
