The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession Chapter 808 - 806: Did Mother Do Something Shameful?

Gu Xiyao heard her ask this, and as before, she replied obediently in a low voice: "Mother, he seems to have really liked all these years. At Ji Yang’s birthday party, you handed over to him at the hotel, didn’t that an you approved of him?"

The implication is that you approved of him, so I’ll listen to you and be good with him!

Your obedient daughter has always listened to you, hasn’t she?

Tong Songlin understood the aning behind her words, but she never used to speak with hidden anings like this!

While she was still pondering, Gu Xiyao had already spoken: "Mother, I’ve been back for a while, yet you and Dad still haven’t co back. If I hadn’t been confused for a mont, you wouldn’t have co back to the country. We haven’t seen each other in so long, I want to drink the tea you make!"

Her first sentence clearly carried a tone of complaint, but by the end, it seed like she was just overthinking.

Tong Songlin nodded, "Co here! It’s been so long, have you been slacking off?"

Gu Xiyao laughed, "I knew that no matter where you’d go, you’d never be without your tea-making tools. I’ve been practicing since I got back, how about I make you so tea now?"

Tong Songlin led her to the tea table by the sofa, took out the tea-making tools, and the tea was slowly brewing by the side. The mother and daughter sat properly across from each other as they used to at ho.

"Mother, in a mont of confusion, I swallowed sleeping pills and did this disgraceful thing. Would you bla ?" Gu Xiyao actively asked.

"As long as you’re okay!" Tong Songlin said blandly, though still sowhat indifferent, her words carried concern.

It seed that ever since she ca back, she had truly been concerned about her health. Even though everyone ridiculed New City’s top socialite for disgracing herself by attempting suicide, her mother surprisingly hadn’t blad her at all.

The water had just boiled; Gu Xiyao skillfully arranged the teapot and cups, saying as she did it, "When I woke up in the hospital, I regretted it. I was so scared that you’d find out and scold for having no ambition, but Little Uncle still told you. When I saw you, I was terrified, but you only blad a few tis and mostly showed concern!"

As she spoke, her hands didn’t stop moving, and soon she poured the freshly brewed tea into the cups, handing it to Tong Songlin, "Mother, isn’t my tea-making skill getting better?"

"Not quite enough!" Tong Songlin sipped from the cup, thinking of her once reticent daughter, who was remarkably talkative today, and added, "But much better than before! It seems you’ve genuinely been practicing!"

Gu Xiyao gave a faint smile and set down her cup with such force that it startled Tong Songlin.

"Mother never used to praise ! It was always ’not enough,’ and that was it!" Gu Xiyao looked up at her, with a smile that was entirely captivating, but her eyes were filled with heavy sarcasm and coldness, "How did it suddenly beco so good now?"

"What do you an by that?" Tong Songlin gently placed her cup down, "Also, what do you think you just did? Where’s the dignified socialite behavior?"

"Yes! Isn’t this exactly how mother should bla ?" Gu Xiyao retorted: "But then, what does it matter to beco the socialite you’ve always talked about?"

Gu Xiyao suddenly slumped down, no longer adhering to decorum. "You’ve never really looked at , even Dad. Dad’s always been so good to you, and yet you always had a sour face! As for , striving to et your expectations, you’ve never once praised . And now, how co you would praise ? I wasted years of your earnest grooming by overdosing on sleeping pills, yet you’d still praise —why is that? Could it be that you did sothing even more disgraceful in return?"
