Chapter 282 - 282: Mom’s Wish
Gu Tai called the nurse in to treat Shen Su’s wound.
Li Yan shouted and blamed Gu Tai for being too slow. Gu Tai had a good temper and smiled as his wife reprimanded him. He asked his son about his injuries gently.
The nurse treated Shen Su’s wound. Shen Su secretly sized up the interaction of the family of three. This warm feeling made her exclaim. She had never seen such a family atmosphere. If there was, only her grandparents could compare.
After Shen Su left,
Li Yan looked at her son with curved eyes.
Gu Ming was puzzled. “Mom, what are you doing?”
“Son! Tell Daddy and Mommy the truth. Do you like this girl?” Li Yan smiled very smugly. From the careful gazes of the two of them, she could tell that it was really beautiful!
Gu Ming looked away. “Mom! Don’t spout nonsense!”
Li Yan pretended to be angry. “Did I? Hubby, did I spout nonsense? Can you tell? That girl likes our son very much!”
How could Gu Tai observe so carefully? However, it was not easy to refute his wife’s words. Hence, he compromised. “It depends on our son’s thoughts. He can like whoever he wants as long as she’s a kind and sincere girl.”
Their son’s first love had left a shadow in their hearts.
They didn’t ask for her family background or looks. They just wanted the girl to have a good character. After all, their son was too obsessed with relationships.
Li Yan said, “This girl is so honest. I saw her mother downstairs. At first, 1 thought she was her stepmother. She probably used Shen Su to cling to the rich and powerful when she asked Shen Su to marry someone she didn’t like. This girl didn’t give in at all. I think she’s quite good! I didn’t expect her to be so similar to Bei Shuo. It’s a pity that Bei Shuo isn’t as unyielding as her and can resist. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married into the Mu Family to counteract bad luck. Sigh! What a pity for such a good-looking girl.”
Gu Ming felt a little helpless. “Mom, Bei Shuo and Mr. Mu are very close. Although the prerequisite for her marriage isn’t very good, Bei Shuo doesn’t care either. Mr. Mu is really good to Bei Shuo. Don’t say such things. It’s not good!”
Li Yan immediately said, “Alright, alright, alright. Don’t worry. Mom won’t tell anyone when I go out. I’ll only say a few words in our house. We have to help Shen Su. That Mom of hers is even weirder than Shen Yu. She actually said that her own daughter isn’t good-looking. Hmph! She’s really muddle-headed.”
Gu Ming was deep in thought. “Her mother is here to persuade her to get married again?”
Li Yan nodded. “Her words are so unpleasant. She even snatched her walking stick and pushed her down. She didn’t even care. She’s really too much!”
Li Yan was indignant. “I told Shen Su that she has to resist until the end! If it doesn’t work, she’ll run away from home! Our family has plenty of houses for her to live in. I’ll definitely help her to the end, regardless of whether she falls in love with you or not.”
Gu Ming touched his forehead and frowned in pain.
Gu Tai hurriedly pulled his son’s hand away and couldn’t help but say to his wife, “Stop talking. Your son is tired from listening.”
Li Yan hurriedly said, “Son, don’t move.”
Gu Ming smiled bitterly. “Mom, do you know Shen Su’s background?”
Li Yan blinked and shook her head.
Although the Gu Family was also a wealthy family, they were not related to the top tycoons. Li Yan was even less interested in the rich and powerful. Hence, she did not know those rich and famous stories. Hence, she did not know Shen Su, one of the most respected Young Mistresses in the city.
Gu Tai hesitated and asked carefully, “Could she be from the Shen Family?”
Gu Ming nodded. “She’s Shen Yi’s daughter, Shen Bai and Luo Bing’s half-sister.”
Gu Tai was moved.
Li Yan finally realized. “You’re saying that she’s Shen Bai’s younger sister?”
Gu Ming nodded. “Mom knows about Shen Bai?”
Li Yan said, “Sigh! Who doesn’t know Shen Bai?! She’s beautiful, capable, has a good family background, and is married to love. She’s a winner in life! Sigh? Son, S-Shen Su isn’t a girl from an ordinary family, right?”
Gu Ming and his father looked at each other. He was angry and amused by his mother’s hindsight. “Yes, she’s not ordinary at all. She just looks a little ordinary in their family.”
Li Yan thought for a moment, dumbfounded. “Son, do you like her?”
Gu Ming did not understand what she meant and did not speak.
Li Yan said with a yearning expression, “If you like her, go after her. This girl has such a good background, but she’s not proud at all. She’s 10,000 times better than Bei Le. This girl is kind and has a good character. I think highly of her! Son, good luck!”
Gu Ming was speechless.
“Mom, do you know who their family wants her to marry?”
