Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 779: Killing by Borrowed Knife (9)

To gain a more detailed understanding of the matter, Gu’s mother accepted Qiu Sangu’s invitation for a tea outside.

When Gu’s mother arrived at the tea restaurant where Qiu Sangu had arranged the eting, Qiu Sangu imdiately poured her heart out, "Your husband’s parents are really sothing, now they’re squatting at my place. Your house is larger; why not take them in to live with you?"

To which Gu’s mother responded truthfully, "Yebai doesn’t even have his own place to live, we’re all staying at his brother’s house now."

"Why?" Qiu Sangu seed surprised, and then she ca up with an explanation for Gu’s mother, "Is it because he and Nuannuan were driven out by the Xiao Family and had nowhere to go? The Xiao Family has gone too far; isn’t Nuannuan pregnant? How can they treat a pregnant woman like that? Aren’t they afraid that the child will grow up not recognizing them?"

These issues were too complex for Gu’s mother to explain to Qiu Sangu on the spot.

Qiu Sangu, assuming her own deductions to be true, felt a surge of sympathy for Gu’s mother, "I can’t believe you didn’t tell what happened; I was even upset with you for keeping it from . If you had told earlier, wouldn’t I have understood? Oh, their family has wealth and power, so they think they can bully people like this? Don’t worry, I’m on Nuannuan and your side."

Indeed, Gu’s mother couldn’t help but feel moved.

Qiu Sangu then took out the gift she had originally planned to give to Gu’s mother, "This is from my son, he got it from his friend, all-natural skincare products that even pregnant won can use. Help give it to Nuannuan; you can also use so."

"How can I accept this?" Gu’s mother protested.

"Why can’t you?" Qiu Sangu smiled, "My son said this is called an investnt. If he gives it to Nuannuan, when she cos out on top one day, she won’t forget him and will give him a hand."

Consequently, Gu’s mother had no choice but to accept the gift, perhaps feeling a tad guilty for having kept things from Qiu Sangu before.

After parting ways with Qiu Sangu, Gu’s mother returned to Zhang Sanfeng’s villa.

Gu’s father was nowhere to be found, probably out to clear his mind.

In her room, Gu’s mother opened up the skincare gift box Qiu Sangu had brought for her daughter, thoroughly inspected it, and, seeing no issues, took out a jar of a snow cream-like substance and went to her daughter’s room.

Gu Nuan had been awake since last night, learned of their visit, and knowing it was arranged by her husband, she had no objections. After all, as a daughter, she only needed to remind her parents to be cautious while matters of elders were not her place to comnt on or manage.

Speaking of which, Nuannuan had been feeling quite sleepy these past two days; she wondered if it was because of overexertion during the trip to Brazil and now that she was back and settled, she just wanted to sleep all the ti.

Because of this, Little Pudding didn’t dare to disturb her sleep, diligently staying in Uncle Zhang’s art studio and learning to paint from the teacher he’d brought in.

As Gu’s mother approached her daughter’s door to check if she was awake, soone ca down the hallway.

Looking over, it was that Dr. Ou.

That young man’s face resembled Gu Sheng’s features so closely that it was eerie.

The first ti Gu’s mother caught a glimpse of this face from a distance, she had been deeply shaken – if only her son were alive, might he have beco a similarly outstanding young man?

Of course, the practical-minded Gu’s mother didn’t let herself beco a madwoman obsessing over a young man who happened to resemble her son.

Gu’s mother kept it simple – maybe it was just soone who happened to look like her son. After all, television often ntioned how even strangers can bear a striking resemblance to one another.

Ou Yanan approached, noticing Gu’s mother. He seed to hesitate as if wanting to pass by.

But seeing that he couldn’t avoid her, as they were inevitably going to et living under the sa roof, he inquired about the item in Gu’s mother’s hand upon seeing it.

"What is that?" Ou Yanan asked Gu’s mother as he ca over.

Following his gaze to the snow cream in her hand, Gu’s mother smiled, "This was given as a gift. I want to try it on Nuannuan, as her skin is rather dry too. They say it’s natural and safe for pregnant won to use. Looks like it’s imported."

Ou Yanan appeared serious, as if he didn’t believe her. Taking the jar from her hand, he opened the lid and sniffed, his brows instantly furrowing, "This scent seems like musk, which is unsafe for pregnant won and can cause miscarriage."

Gu’s mother was alard, "What did you say?!"

Did Qiu Sangu an to harm her daughter?

Gu’s mother’s voice was loud. The soundproof door didn’t wake the sleeping Gu Nuan inside, but Tang Sili, who had cracked the door open, heard the commotion and stepped out.

Hearing about a scent that could cause miscarriage alard Tang, the professor responsible for the safety of pregnant won. Taking the jar from his assistant, he sniffed at it, furrowed his brows and said, "This sll is wrong. — Where did you get this from?"

As the fuss grew, the butler hurriedly went to inform the master of the house.

Gu’s father also hurried back, and when he arrived at Gu’s mother’s side, he demanded, "Whose stuff did you take?!"

Gu’s mother, at a loss for words, felt an overwhelming need to confront the malicious Qiu Sangu and bolted.

"Hey, where are you going?" Gu’s father chased after her.

Zhang Sanfeng, as the host, rushed over in his wheelchair, demanding, "What happened?"

Tang Sili held the jar and suddenly pinched the bridge of his nose as if feeling dizzy, "No, this isn’t musk —"

"What is it then?"

"Poison —"
