Lin Gantang let go of the tabby with a frown and looked downstairs.
She couldnât see her.
She said, âIâll go and take a look. It wonât look good if she makes a scene in the bookstore.â
Lin Gantang went downstairs and realized that the person Qian Ruoxi was talking about was actually Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu was waiting with Shi Muzhen, looking a little impatient.
The last time Mrs. Gu had seen Lin Gantang was in the hospital. At that time, Lin Gantang had been ashen after getting injured and losing blood. Now that she had recovered, she looked at her glowing face and radiant eyes and muttered, âWhy is she getting better and better looking? No wonder my son suddenly wants to go back to her.â
She thought of what she wanted to say and retracted the impatient expression on her face. She glanced at the customers in the shop and said, âThere are many people here. Letâs talk outside.â
Lin Gantang was also worried that Mrs. Gu would cause trouble in the shop, so she nodded.
Mrs. Gu walked out and saw that Shi Muzhen was still following her. She frowned. âWait for me here. I have something to say to Gantang. What are you following me for?â
Lin Gantang had already left. Shi Muzhen was not afraid that she would hear her words. She told Mrs. Gu, âLin Gantang is quite powerful now. Iâm afraid that youâll be at a disadvantage.â
âWhat can she do to me?â Mrs. Gu didnât mind. This little girl; all along, she had been the one bullying Lin Gantang.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu had made up her mind, Shi Muzhen decided not to follow her. She stood at the door, wondering if she could catch a few words.
It was not easy for Gu Zhichuan to cut ties with that Feng girl, so she had to seize the opportunity. As for Lin Gantang, she was merely someone from Gu Zhichuanâs past. She had been the one who had instigated Mrs. Gu to come over. Now that Lin Gantang would hear Mrs. Guâs lecture, she would naturally hate the Gu family even more.
The further she went, the better. She hoped more than anyone that Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing would stick together and not separate, lest Gu Zhichuan had another chance.
Mrs. Gu did not lecture her as Shi Muzhen had expected. The two of them came to a stop outside the bookstore. Mrs. Gu sized her up and smiled. âI came to look for you yesterday, but you werenât around. I finally met you today.â
In Lin Gantangâs memory, Mrs. Gu had never shown her such a good attitude before. However, it was probably just an act. After all, Lin Gantang had clearly seen her testy expression when she went downstairs earlier.
âMrs. Gu, why are you looking for me?â Lin Gantang asked.
âZhichuan is stubborn and rigid. He wonât listen to me, so I have to come and disturb you. You know that heâs single now, right? He looked for you many times, so I was a little worried. After all, you guysâ¦â
Once Mrs. Gu opened her mouth, Lin Gantang understood. In the past, Mrs. Gu did not like her, and now, Mrs. Gu still did not like her.
âMrs. Gu, youâre worrying too much. I have a boyfriend now,â Lin Gantang said. âIâm about to get married. What are you worried about?â
Mrs. Gu was relieved to hear that Lin Gantang had given up on her son. But who was Lin Gantangâs current boyfriend? Wen Yanqing was more outstanding than her son in every aspect.
After Lin Gantang had broken up with her son, she had found a better man. Mrs. Gu was not that magnanimous, so of course she felt uncomfortable.
Lin Gantang didnât want to see her, but Mrs. Gu didnât want to see her either. âIâm not saying anything about you. Itâs just⦠If youâve broken up, youâve broken up, right? Zhichuan is being unreasonable. Can you explain it to him clearly?â
Lin Gantang felt that it was ridiculous. Hadnât she made herself clear to Gu Zhichuan?
âYou know that your son is unreasonable. How else do you want me to explain it clearly? Pry open his skull to control his thoughts?â Lin Gantang mocked.
âYouâ¦â Mrs. Gu swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She forced a smile and said, âHe should give up after you and Wen Yanqing get married.â
Heh.
The one who was laughing in anger was Lin Gantang. This was the first time she had seen someone being urged to get married by her exâs mother..
