Mother Zhou’s face was full of disdain. Previously, she was so grateful that this family had saved her daughter, but who knew that after her daughter told her everything, Mother Zhou was filled with hatred for this Qin family.
This Qin family had taken what belonged to her daughter and bullied her daughter. They even chased her out. This must be retribution. She would like to see how their daughter would face the world next time.
Mother Zhou was somewhat curious. “Ah-Yu, who do you think leaked this matter out? It’s simply too hateful. I’ve got to thank this person.”
Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up and she smiled. “Who knows.”
Gu Jie looked at Tang Ju who kept sticking to Gao Qing the moment he returned. She sat in front of the table and picked a few pieces of meat for Mother Tang. “Mom, eat quickly, then go have a good sleep.”
Mother Tang coughed, then looked at the scrawny and pet.i.te Gu Jie as she sighed in her heart. She wondered what was wrong with this child. She was already 17 years old, yet she looked like a young girl around the age of 12 or 13.
If it were before, she could still nourish this child a little, but in the current situation, she was a patient and had to be a burden to these two children.
Mother Tang returned the meat back to Gu Jie. “My good child, mom is already feeling much better. You should eat more.”
She saw her son, who kept sticking to Gao Qing, and couldn’t help but worry. Ever since her son brought this woman back, his heart had been on her. As a mother, she could obviously tell that her son liked Gao Qing.
But this Gao Qing clearly didn’t like her son and was just using him. Her son was very stubborn and even when she tried to convince him, he wouldn’t listen.
Seeing Tang Ju being so busy that he hadn’t even had the time to sit down, Mother Tang couldn’t help but say, “Son, sit down and eat. Miss Gao has a pair of hands, doesn’t she?”
Gao Qing’s face froze, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face. “That’s right, big brother Tang Ju, quick, sit down. I can do it myself. Oh right, Auntie, you can just call me Qingqing. ‘Miss Gao’ is too distant.”
When Tang Ju saw how much Gao Qing cared for him, he was very pleased, and his eyes were filled with adoration for Gao Qing. “Yes, yes, mom, Qingqing has said it many times before. Just call her Qingqing. Why can’t you remember?”
Seeing the dissatisfaction in her son’s eyes, Mother Tang’s heart turned cold and she sighed deeply in her heart, then kept quiet. She could tell that her son was completely wrapped around this woman’s finger and even his mother wasn’t a match for her.
Gu Jie pursed her little lips; her exquisite face was slightly gloomy. She seemed to have thought of something when she lifted her little face and said plainly, “Miss Qing, didn’t you say that the sc.u.m who abandoned you is called Qin Hanmo? My brother and I actually saw him when we went out for our mission today. He’s really good looking.”
The bowl in Gao Qing’s hand fell and she looked at Tang Ju in disbelief, her voice was somewhat frosty. “Tang Ju, didn’t you say that this base didn’t have a Qin family? Didn’t you say that Qin Hanmo isn’t here? You lied to me.”
Tang Ju glared angrily at Gu Jie and didn’t understand why she would undermine him like that. He looked at Gao Qing timidly and quickly explained, “Qingqing, don’t be mad. Listen to me…”
Gao Qing thought to herself, ‘Indeed, all men are sc.u.m.’ Her eyes reddened. “Do you dislike me as well, so you refused to tell me? Tang Ju, I hate you.”
After which Gao Qing didn’t care about Tang Ju’s explanation and simply ran out in a huff.
Tang Ju turned his body and directly gave Gu Jie a slap. Gu Jie’s fair little face turned red and swollen in an instant and Mother Tang quickly embraced her as she stared at her son in dissatisfaction. “What are you doing? Ah-Jie is your little sister yet you’re hitting her for an outsider? Tang Ju, are you nuts?”
