Wa Zicong was jostled to the front of the window. He stood there, gazing out.
His eyes drifted over unintentionally, perhaps because he did not want to look, for it signified his past, just like Gu Nuan’s mother was a synonym for his unbearable past.
Yet, without realizing it, he looked over, and once his gaze landed on the Gu Family mother and daughter, like everyone else, he did not wish to shift it away lightly.
Maybe to the others, it was like watching a play just for the excitent, but for him, it was undoubtedly different. These two won were people he knew all too well. Just like Su Yixia’s inner disdain, he had once despised his own past and thus had looked down on the Gu Family, who were of humble origin just like himself.
In his eyes, the scorn Gu Nuan’s mother would seemingly face after being pulled into the hall by Su Yixia was sothing he could empathize with.
When had it happened that his fists had already been clenched tightly?
His gaze scrutinized the face of Su Yixia. Of course, he knew that soone else had had a hand in this matter.
But he could not possibly burst out to champion justice for Gu Nuan’s mother, even though she had treated him like her own son, so kind to him. So kind that every ti he went to the Gu Family, she would insist on buying the most expensive and delicious food for him, peeling imported fruits she herself could hardly bear to eat and giving it all to him.
To tell the truth, even his own mother probably did not have such affectionate love for him like Gu Nuan’s mother did.
So when Gu Nuan’s mother decided to disown her daughter and turn away, the sudden feeling of loss that struck him felt so painful, bone-deep painful.
Would his own mother be willing to do the sa thing at such a mont?
He didn’t know.
All he knew was that after he curried favor with the Lin Family heiress, his mother’s words to him boiled down to: "Whatever it takes, do not let go of the big fish that has co to your lips; no matter what, you cannot return to the impoverished status of the past."
It was for this reason, perhaps, that he could never call out "Mom" in front of everyone like she did.
The significance of this ’Mom’ was sothing those who had brought Gu Nuan’s mother in could never possibly comprehend.
He couldn’t help but let out a series of low chuckles, and when his gaze lifted again, it coldly fixed on the figure in the white suit amidst the crowd.
He didn’t believe, not one bit, that this man was unaware of what had transpired.
This realization suddenly unleashed a roaring torrent of rage in his heart. Was it this dandy who had little by little stolen her heart away?
Gu Nuan’s mother had hesitated for a mont when she heard the word ’Mom,’ perhaps thinking it was a fignt of her imagination, so she ant to keep walking forward.
How could a daughter be so foolish as to call out ’Mom’ under such circumstances?
But just as she was about to move forward, a hand from behind grasped her arm.
She felt the touch of the hand instantly; it was her daughter’s. Therefore, she turned her head and looked into Gu Nuan’s smiling eyes.
Su Yixia was dumbfounded by the side.
What’s going on? If Gu Nuan’s mother suddenly disowned Gu Nuan, it could perhaps be sowhat understood, but why would Gu Nuan insist on calling out ’Mom’ and holding onto her, forcing her to stay? In front of the Xiao Family and Xiao Family’s son, wasn’t that equivalent to digging her own grave?
Had Gu Nuan gone mad?
Xiao Shuju thought the sa. This girl must have lost her mind. But her being foolish was even better; if she was foolish, it would be even more beneficial for their next plan.
Now that Xiao Family’s grandmother would definitely not accept Gu Nuan. Because it was clear that after Gu Nuan’s mother showed up here, if guests of the Xiao Family saw that the Xiao Family intended to beco in-laws with soone like the market hawker mother, it would be a joke if word got out. Soon the Xiao Family would beco the biggest joke in their social circles.
