Chapter 177: The First Step Towards Trust
Seeing that Gu Qingqing's voice was getting lower and lower, and in the end, he simply stopped talking, Zhou Xuanmo sighed. After a while, he said: "Actually, although my mother is very prejudiced against you, it is not entirely your fault. ”
"Who said just now that I caused the ......," Gu Qingqing complained angrily.
Because she pouted with a mouth, both cheeks bulged, Zhou Xuanmo looked at the two small faces with pink and tender flesh, and wanted to pinch them - and then he really did it, flattening Gu Qingqing's entire cheeks, and a small mouth was even more prominent.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingqing frowned dissatisfiedly, looked at Zhou Xuanmo with a funny look, and grabbed his nose and shook it from side to side with hatred.
"Eh, your nose is going to be pulled off by you......" Zhou Xuanmo hurriedly let go, and his nose was freed from Gu Qingqing's Nine Yin White Bone Claws.
"Okay, don't make trouble," Gu Qingqing grabbed Zhou Xuanmo's hands and looked at him with both hands, "What do you mean when you just said that your mother's prejudice against me is not just because of me?" ”
Zhou Xuanmo didn't answer Gu Qingqing's question immediately, but just a seemingly irrelevant sentence flew from the sky: "En...... You know Ye Fei is investigating you behind your back, right? ”
Gu Qingqing rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Although there is no direct evidence, but listening to your mother's previous words, it seems that Ye Fei told her something-regardless of whether what Ye Fei said is true or not, but it makes me very surprised that your mother believes Ye Fei's words so much." ”
In Gu Qingqing's opinion, even if Zhou Xuanmo mentions himself, he will definitely not forget the negative image to say, but Ye Fei is obviously not like this. Generally speaking, when one's own son and another outsider evaluate the same person or thing from different perspectives, in most cases, parents will not favor their own child's point of view.
However, Zhou's mother's situation is obviously the opposite, which is also the reason why Gu Qingqing is so surprised.
Zhou Xuanmo looked at Gu Qingqing and touched her head: "Actually, although Ye Fei's words will make my mother's impression of you discounted, the reason why she has a prejudiced or even hostile attitude towards you is definitely not because of these three or two sentences." ”
"What's the reason for that? Did I ever sin aunt unintentionally? Gu Qingqing felt like he was lying down for a moment.
"Well...... In a sense, the same can be said. ”
Gu Qingqing is a straight person, and when he saw Zhou Xuanmo going around, he gently patted him on the back: "Don't sell Guanzi!" What the hell have I done to offend my aunt? "Even if you want her to be an outsider, you have to make her a ghost!
However, the next moment, Gu Qingqing didn't care if she was depressed or anxious. Because she saw Zhou Xuanmo gently holding her hand and looking deeply into her eyes, as if she wanted to see her heart all at once - "Because you are dating me" - and my attitude towards you is not as simple as playing, but serious. And she already has a candidate for a daughter-in-law in her heart - naturally, this candidate is not you, so my mother naturally won't have a good face for you. ”
…… Obviously, it is an explanation of the question she asked, why there is a similar ...... How does it feel to be in vain? Gu Qingqing inexplicably felt that the temperature in this room was suddenly a little high, otherwise, why did her cheeks feel slightly hot?
No, no...... You must not be seduced by the handsome face and soulful voice in front of you! Gu Qingqing struggled to find his normal thinking: "That, then...... Is the aunt's so-called 'daughter-in-law candidate' the eldest lady Ye Fei? ”
"Isn't the point of my remark, 'I'm serious about you.'" Zhou Xuanmo looked very hurt, "I don't even realize my heart for you, it's so sad for me!" ”
If Zhou Xuanmo's inadvertent (river crab) bewitching temperament just now made Gu Qingqing blush and heartbeat, then now this deliberately exaggerated expression has greatly reduced that demagogic feeling, and Gu Qingqing's feelings are only scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
In her words, it is: fake, too fake! It's more fake than a 1→→0,000-yuan RMB.
So Gu Qingqing slapped off Zhou Xuanmo Xizi's heart-holding claws with a move, and said coldly: "Uncomfortable? It's hard to go (south) to the north~"
"I said that you are a woman, and you are really not gentle at all." Zhou Xuanmo was very helpless.
"That Miss Ye Feiye is very gentle, or is it 'hand-picked' by your mother, do you want to think about it~~"
"Oh?" Zhou Xuanmo laughed very playfully when he heard this, "What, are you jealous?" ”
"Eat you big-headed ghost! Don't you honestly explain why your queen mother is so blue-eyed to Ye Fei? ”
"Good family background, good looks, good cultivation." Zhou Xuanmo immediately highly summarized, "Among them, a good family background accounts for most of the reasons. ”
“…… I really can't help it...... this" Gu Qingqing's expression, which was originally full of fighting spirit, was immediately like a balloon that had been punctured into a hole, and he was suddenly deflated.
After all, "family history" is an irreversible and irreversible thing. She is not a time-traveling reborn girl with a golden finger, how can she decide her own family background?
"Alas, even if the 'cultivation' aspect accounts for the vast majority of the reasons~" Gu Qingqing was very distressed, "In this way, I can still work hard to get a hand." "Family history or something, really not "hard work" or anything like that can be changed - and even if it can be changed, it will be after a long time, when the daylily will be cold.
"You decided to work hard to improve your cultivation before?!" Zhou Xuanmo was very surprised. It's not that Gu Qingqing is surprised by his efforts to improve himself, but the reason for this "self-improvement" is simply to cater to his mother's preferences.
Even if he didn't put it into action, Gu Qingqing's idea made Zhou Xuanmo feel very heartwarming and moved.
He gently hugged Gu Qingqing's shoulders: "You don't have to force yourself like this. ”
"I'm not reluctant at all when you're forcing me." Gu Qingqing said, "But if 'good cultivation' can occasionally restore your mother's impression of me, what can't be restrained a little?" After all, I don't want to let go completely~"
"You don't want me?" Zhou Xuanmo lowered his head and asked in Gu Qingqing's ear. The warm and humid airflow made Gu Qingqing's neck feel an itch, making her can't help but shrink her neck.
"Hmph, I'm not reluctant to you, I'm reluctant to give up your money and your good face and figure!" Gu Qingqing said deliberately angrily.
"Oh~ Then you really don't care about your 'gold master', you usually don't take the initiative to please, and you are not gentle and considerate, and you don't ask for anything~" Zhou Xuanmo raised his eyebrows, "It's really incompetent." ”
"But that's what Auntie thinks......" Gu Qingqing was a little frustrated, "Speaking of which, it's better than Ye Fei's family background, I guess you've encountered it, right?" Why did the aunt add to Ye Fei's green eyes? ”
Well, Gu Qingqing admitted that she was a little jealous and jealous of Ye Fei for being able to get Zhou Xuanmo's mother's blue eyes.
Zhou Xuanmo thought for a while and concluded: "Generally speaking, the family background is good enough is basically above the top, the attitude towards my mother is lukewarm, and the warm and polite family background towards my mother is slightly inferior, Ye Fei can be regarded as good for both-but this has nothing to do with me." In the end, he did not forget to show his loyalty.
Gu Qingqing sighed: "Actually, it is already difficult to be a proud woman of the sky, but it is even more difficult to do it as a gentle and humble proud daughter of the sky, and I am indeed inferior to Ye Fei in this regard-frankly speaking, I may not be able to have her approachable bearing." ”
"Grace......" Zhou Xuanmo muttered very playfully, "It's just that only she knows whether she is really humble or pretending." ”
Listen to the tone of the words...... You say that Ye Fei is actually suppressing her nature and deliberately pleasing her aunt? ”
"Well, you can say that." Zhou Xuanmo nodded. Although Ye Fei concealed it well, in an inadvertent look, an action or a sentence, Zhou Xuanmo was still able to keenly capture Ye Fei's true emotions - in fact, she was not as close to her mother as she seemed.
No, to be more precise, as a proud daughter of heaven who has a wealthy family since she was a child, and her parents have considerable social status, Ye Fei is a little disdainful of Zhou's mother, a "little citizen" - if it weren't for Zhou Xuanmo's reasons, people like Zhou's mother would not have entered Ye Fei's eyes at all.
In contrast, although Gu Qingqing was also very helpless and speechless to Zhou's mother, she did not have any deliberate contemptuous actions - of course, Zhou's mother later said that Gu Qingqing's mother's words were too unusual, and it was not surprising that Gu Qingqing was angry, which was different from whether she could afford Zhou's mother.
"Oh...... It seems that you know Ye Fei's temperament very well~" Gu Qingqing glanced at Zhou Xuanmo, "I can't tell if she really respects her aunt or is fake courtesy." ”
"Well, after all, I've been in society for so many years, and I still have a little bit of the ability to see people - not to mention that we used to be classmates, so we know a little better."
Saying that, Zhou Xuanmo concisely said how he was unintentionally in love when the two were classmates, and how Miss Ye Feiye was unwilling to let go of the horse and chase after her.
After listening to this, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that you still have a time when you are chased by a woman and hide everywhere...... But you haven't told me before, so why do you think about it now? ”
"You said I don't trust you, so I want to prove to you that I trust you - and at the same time be trustworthy." Zhou Xuanmo said, "And frankly confessing the secret in your heart is the first step towards trust." ”
And now, he's trying to take that step.
