It had been so long since I heard the surname Gu that I didn't react at first.
"Gu Family? Gu Xiyue?"
Lu's mother nodded again:
"Yes, your Aunt Su just shared the news with me, Old Sir Jiang is furious."
Ssh!
What major thing did the Gu Family do now?
Wait, the Gu Family is in trouble, and Old Sir Jiang is furious?
Suddenly, I realized it must involve Jiang Qiu, right?
Otherwise, why would Old Sir Jiang care if the Gu Family lived or died?
Whether in the past or now, all Old Sir Jiang cared about wasn't just his adopted daughter Jiang Qiu?
Tsk tsk.
"Got it, Mom, could you and Dad send me a message after you land?"
As parents age, their children can't help but worry—always concerned that something might suddenly come up.
Lu's mother laughed:
"Just as I thought, someone about to become a mother herself knows to worry about me and your dad," she joked.
A tease from my own mother, no big deal.
"Mom, I'm talking about serious stuff here!"
