Chapter 299: What a big family's troubles
Gu Xiaoqi thought that Xia Lan would be honest for a few days.
Unexpectedly, she came to the door that night, and she didn't come by herself, and she also brought Mu Lianyu and his fiancΓ©e, Du Lanyue, who was disguised as Wei Mingyu.
When these three people got together, they knew that they would only bring trouble.
But Xia Lan is Mu Liancheng's mother, and for this alone, Gu Xiaoqi has no way to turn people away.
After all, it is in public, people from outside come and go, and there are people who know Xia Lan if they don't have it, and when Mu Liancheng gets a reputation for treating his biological mother harshly, it will really be wronged.
Maybe Mu Liancheng didn't care about these at all, but Gu Xiaoqi couldn't help but care.
Everyone's mouths are golden, and gossip can also kill.
Mu Liancheng can't explain them one by one, so the best way is to be decent and make everyone's faces look good.
Before Gu Xiaoqi let people in, she asked Wang Ma to take the two children upstairs, and then asked Ah Da to guard the door with someone, and she herself sat on the farthest part of the sofa.
Resolutely do not give these people the possibility of touching her.
Gu Xiaoqi is also taking precautions, otherwise if something happens, she won't be able to find a place to cry.
Fortunately, Xia Lan really came prepared this time, and his attitude was very good, and he brought rare things in his hands.
Gu Xiaoqi asked people to take the things, and during the period, they took a look, and they were indeed for the two children, and they could also see that they were carefully selected practical things.
Gu Xiaoqi felt that these things were not prepared by Xia Lan, but by Du Lanyue, and she always knew how to please people.
Xia Lan entered the room and sat down on the sofa steadily, Mu Lianyu lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, but Du Lanyue sat down next to Xia Lan, looking very close.
Xia Lan showed a kind smile, and she said to Gu Xiaoqi: "I'm afraid that you will be busy, so I didn't wait for Liancheng to pick it up, so I'll come by myself." β
When she said this, Gu Xiaoqi understood that the boxes behind her were not gifts for the children, but like Xia Lan's luggage.
This is because she knew in her heart that Mu Liancheng would not pick it up, so she sent it directly to the door herself?
Gu Xiaoqi really can't agree, everyone knows that it's easy to invite God and difficult to send God, Xia Lan lives in, and it's not easy to get people out.
"This, I still have some things to go out, so it's better to ......" Gu Xiaoqi said tentatively.
As a result, Xia Lan didn't seem to hear it, "It's okay, you go out first, I'm here!" β
Gu Xiaoqi's face darkened, she understood this time, this Xia Lan was ready to fight a protracted battle, and she really didn't plan to leave.
No matter how fierce Gu Xiaoqi is, he can't really get his husband's mother out!
She regrets it now, why don't you just stop people outside, even if she is scolded, it is better than riding a tiger like now!
"I think about it, let's wait for Liancheng to come back."
As he spoke, Gu Xiaoqi gave Ambassador A a look, and Ah Da understood and hurriedly informed Mu Liancheng.
This hint is not obvious, but it is not hidden, Gu Xiaoqi still needs to give Xia Lan a chance.
As a result, Xia Lan still didn't say anything, and still sat comfortably.
And she sat for a while, and then began to wander around the room.
Gu Xiaoqi wasn't afraid of what Xia Lan would do, she was just very uncomfortable.
If Xia Lan is a loving person, it doesn't matter.
The key is that the relationship between the two of them and Xia Lan is that they know the enemy!
Putting the enemy in his own turf and wandering around is really, unexpected!
Xia Lan wandered around, Gu Xiaoqi arranged for someone to accompany him, and then began to stare at Du Lanyue with wide eyes.
Mu Lianyu kept his head down and didn't speak.
Du Lanyue looked at Gu Xiaoqi innocently with that face, "Sister-in-law, your skin is so good." β
Gu Xiaoqi: "......" how can she answer it!
If others praise her, whether it is true or not, she will express her gratitude, but when Du Lanyue says this, she always has to think about whether there is any pit buried under Du Lanyue, just waiting for her to jump down!
Because of such considerations, Gu Xiaoqi just smiled, and then stopped talking.
Du Lanyue didn't feel embarrassed, and then continued: "Sister-in-law, as soon as I see you, I feel that I have fallen in love with you, can I often come to play with you in the future?" β
Gu Xiaoqi was still silent, she really admired Du Lanyue now.
"Miss Wei, we don't seem to be familiar to this extent." Gu Xiaoqi can be regarded as saving face for her.
It was normal for her to say this, but Wei Mingyu suddenly said with a look of grievance: "Lian Yu, doesn't my sister-in-law like me?" β
"I just want to be friends with her."
Gu Xiaoqi's expression completely changed from helplessness to shock, she just said a word, why did Du Lanyue on the other side feel as if she had stabbed her.
And Mu Lianyu suddenly raised his head and said disapprovingly: "Sister-in-law, I know you don't like me, but Mingyu is innocent, what are you coming at me!" β
Gu Xiaoqi was really a little angry this time, "Mu Lianyu, I think I am benevolent to you, if you can't talk well, then get out of here!" β
Gu Xiaoqi was so polite, Mu Lianyu was also annoyed, he really didn't want to follow, but this didn't mean that he could let others bully his woman.
That's right, after this period of time, Du Lanyue has already cleaned Mu Lianyu's heart, and Gu Jiabao can't insert it at all.
If Tingting hadn't been there, Mu Lianyu would have broken off with Gu Jiabao a long time ago.
It may be that Mu Liancheng is not at home, there is only one man here, Mu Lianyu, so he seems very confident, "Gu Xiaoqi, this is my brother's house, why do you let me go, do you really think that after giving birth to two children, you can tell me something?" β
Once, Mu Lianyu had never spoken to Gu Xiaoqi like this, he respected Gu Xiaoqi very much, and he also had a strong admiration for Mu Liancheng.
But since Mu Liancheng and Gu Xiaoqi refused to help him save Gu Jiabao, Mu Lianyu's heart was twisted.
He resented everything to Mu Liancheng, it was because he refused to help that he would let Gu Zhengyang escape, let Gu Jiabao lose his support, let him have no backer to rely on, and let him fall to this point.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Lianyu also became angry at Gu Xiaoqi.
"Brother Lian Yu, it's okay, it's not good for me, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, she misunderstood me." Du Lanyue said words of dissuasion, but the expression on her face became more and more aggrieved, more and more sad, and she couldn't wait to cry.
This made Mu Lianyu feel distressed.
"Mingyu, don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let others bully you!" When Mu Lianyu said this, he felt a long-lost dignity.
Gu Xiaoqi watched the two people opposite him act, and almost laughed.
"You two, now, immediately, immediately, get me out!" Gu Xiaoqi can give Xia Lan face, but she won't get used to these two people.
However, Mu Lianyu would not be afraid of Gu Xiaoqi.
He shouted, "Gu Xiaoqi, don't be complacent, when will my brother not want you, you look good!" β
Gu Xiaoqi looked at Mu Lianyu with a black line, and she was even more worried about the future of the Mu family.
She can also understand why the Mu family can still be what it is now, relying on that big family background.
Not to mention anything else, as long as she gave birth to these children, Mu Liancheng would not easily dismiss her, even if she took 10,000 steps back, Mu Liancheng really didn't want her one day, and the property in her name was enough to live for several lifetimes.
Now in the entire Mu family, it is estimated that she is not rich alone!
So, where did Mu Lianyu get the confidence to talk to her like this!
"Don't worry, this day won't come."
Just when Gu Xiaoqi and Mu Lianyu were facing each other, someone came outside again.
It's not Mu Liancheng, it's Gu Jiabao.
This time the people are all together, if it was usual, Gu Xiaoqi would never let this person in, but now, she hopes to be able to rectify Mu Lianyu.
After letting Gu Jiabao in, Gu Xiaoqi saw Tingting.
It's only been a long time since Tingting has changed from a beautiful and lively child to a gloomy and silent child, and when she looks at people, she is vaguely cowardly, and there is a trace of hatred that is not easy to detect.
This kind of look, seen from the eyes of a child of a few years old, is really unexpected.
Gu Xiaoqi didn't dare to guess what Tingting would become when she grew up.
However, this child belongs to Mu Lianyu and Gu Jiabao, even if she is distressed, she has no way to interfere.
Gu Jiabao came back this time, obviously making preparations.
She was wearing a long white dress, wrapping her thin and slender figure, and her waist was very cute.
Du Lanyue used to take this route, and after plastic surgery, this face is more suitable for pretending to be weak, but in front of the originator Gu Jiabao, her little Taoism is really not enough.
Didn't you see that since she appeared, Mu Lianyu's eyes have been on her, and she can't see anyone else anymore!
"Jiabao!" Mu Lianyu said again and again.
Gu Jiabao didn't cry anything, she just raised her head timidly, and said: "Lian Yu, don't be angry, it's really Tingting hasn't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much, I brought the child here." β
"Also, and me, I miss you too." The last sentence, Gu Jiabao said very quietly, but the people in the room could hear it clearly.
Before Tingting came, she seemed to have been taught, she hurriedly ran over and hugged Mu Lianyu's thigh, "Dad, you, don't want me, I miss you so much." β
"The children laughed at me, bullied me, and said that I was a child without a father. Dad, you won't want me, will you? β
Mu Lianyu really loves Tingting, but this love is drowned out by all kinds of trivial things.
Now that Tingting was standing pitifully in front of him, Mu Lianyu felt that his heart was broken.
"Tingting, how could Dad not want you!"
After Mu Lianyu finished speaking, the faces of the two women beside him changed, but one was joy and the other was anger.
