When Dong Xin Yan arrived, Madam Gu was already there. She hurriedly ran up to Madam Gu, slightly out of breath, yet only concerned with apologizing, "Madam, I’m sorry, I’m late."
Madam Gu smiled, "It’s alright, I ca early."
After a pause, Madam Gu added, "Since you’re Ning Yi’s girlfriend now, don’t call Madam anymore, call Auntie. After all... you are no longer a servant."
Servant...
Dong Xin Yan’s red lips pressed slightly, the corners of her lips lifted, she replied softly, "Alright, Aun..., Auntie."
"Let’s go."
Madam Gu led Dong Xin Yan to the café on the top floor of the mall, which only served the mall’s VIP guests, so there weren’t many people, only a few, all of whom knew Madam Gu.
It wasn’t long after Madam Gu sat down that others ca to greet her. Madam Gu gracefully and naturally engaged in small talk, even openly explaining Dong Xin Yan to those noblewon, frankly saying, "This is my son’s girlfriend, Dong Xin Yan."
With smiles on their faces, those noblewon gave her a once-over, then praised her beauty, noting Mr. Gu had good taste, before starting to inquire, "So she’s a young lady from the Dong Family, but with the surna Dong..."
The noblewon searched their minds, seemingly unable to think of any prominent family with the surna Dong, frowning for a long ti, one of them couldn’t help but ask, "I wonder who Miss Dong’s father is...?"
Madam Gu smiled, picked up the flower tea on the table, and took an elegant sip.
Dong Xin Yan’s hand unconsciously clenched, forcing a smile on her face, she shook her head, her voice low, squeezing out each word slowly from her throat, "My father is just an ordinary person, you probably don’t know him."
"Ah?" The noblewoman was extrely surprised at this answer, reflexively looking at Madam Gu.
Madam Gu slightly raised her eyelids, her tone gentle, "No, Mrs. Chen should know him, rember? A forr driver of ours, my son’s personal driver, the one who was negligent before, that’s her father."
"Ah..."
The noblewoman let out a long sigh and imdiately understood, her gaze suddenly changed, casting a sidelong glance at Dong Xin Yan, her smile sowhat inscrutable, "So that’s it, a driver’s daughter? Mr. Gu’s rebellious phase seems to be a bit late?"
"Well then, Madam Gu, I won’t disturb you and Miss Dong for afternoon tea, I’ll take my leave."
"Mm, take care."
Just as expected...
She thought to herself, how could it possibly be so perfect?
It was at this mont that Dong Xin Yan truly felt her feet touch the ground.
Dong Xin Yan straightened her back, her dark eyes looking at Madam Gu, carefully picking her words, and slowly started, "Aun... ."
Biting her lower lip lightly, she ended up calling her Madam, "Madam, if there is sothing you want to say to , why not be direct."
Seated upright with seriousness, Dong Xin Yan’s stance elicited a smile from Madam Gu.
She curved her lips, her body gently reclining against the chair back, paused for a mont, and instead of answering, she asked, "What do you think I want to say to you? Give you a check to leave my son? Or say sothing unpleasant to humiliate you, forcing you to leave?"
"Xinyan, I watched you grow up, how could I possibly do these things to you? Besides, you’re the woman my son is very fond of."
Madam Gu’s voice was gentle, her smile kind, yet it couldn’t bring any warmth to Dong Xin Yan’s heart, instead... it made her more uneasy.
