4703 Never Too Late to Love (110)
“Well, generally, she targets my dad and I.”
When Bai Sheng heard this, she laughed, “You’re all grown up and your mum hits you?”
“Uh…” He shot a meaningful glance at Chu He and smiled. “Now that I’ve found a wife, I don’t think so!”
“Oh…” Hearing this, Chu He immediately said, “I’ve already had a prior agreement with Chengze. As long as he’s married, I won’t lay a finger on him!”
!!“Hahaha!” Bai Sheng could no longer maintain her image as a lady and laughed out loud.
Even Gu Jinglian, who was calmly staring at the bird, looked over in curiosity. He did not expect such frivolous laughter from the quiet and sweet-looking Bai Sheng.
Sensing that Gu Jinglian was looking in her direction, Bai Sheng was so frightened that her laughter stopped abruptly while her mouth was agape. She quickly put on a solemn expression and straightened her posture to put on her best behavior.
Chu He was dumbfounded.
Since ancient times, there had only been examples of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law being at odds.
It seemed that Bai Sheng was more afraid of Gu Jinglian than of her?
Chu He turned to glare at the man and warned, “If you keep glaring at your daughter-in-law like that, she might run away.”
Gu Jinglian responded with a defeated and aggrieved look.
He lifted a hand to his face and muttered, “Am I that fierce?”
Gu Chengze commented, “You do look very fierce.”
Gu Jinglian was speechless.
Chu He suggested, “Bai Sheng, why don’t you stay for the night!”
Bai Sheng and Gu Chengze exchanged a look. He silently squeezed her palm and said, “Let’s stay then? My mother is happier to see you than to see me.”
Bai Sheng was extremely touched. Was she deserving of this? They had clearly been separated for so many years, but not only the boy she liked remembered her all this time, but on top, she would never have to deal with a difficult mother-in-law in the future.
It was not so much the Gu family’s wealthy background, but the fact that she had a reasonable, gentle, and considerate mother-in-law.
The Gu family seemed to be very harmonious. On their way in, they met a few servants and all of them were smiling.
Gu Chengze greeted them with ease. He did not treat them as though they were of different statuses.
What touched her the most was that her mother-in-law was really good to her.
“Alright, let’s stay then!” Bai Sheng gladly agreed.
At night, Gu Lingge and Gu Xinghan returned. Only then did Gu Jinglian reveal a rare smile. Even when he met Bai Sheng, he did not smile so gently.
One couldn’t blame him for being biased. He had doted on and pampered his youngest daughter so much that even Chu He became extremely jealous.
The relations.h.i.+p between father and daughter pair was unsurpa.s.sed. When Gu Lingge turned 18, the man gave her a villa with a sea view.
To everyone in the Gu family, the a.s.sets of their parents did not necessarily belong to them.
Every year, Gu Jinglian would notarize his a.s.sets and consolidate them.
To outsiders,his method of educating his children seemed a little heartless. If they wanted a villa or a luxury car, they had to work for it.
Hence, after graduating from school, Gu Chengze knew how to fend for himself and did not rely on the Gu family for anything.
It was the same for Gu Linxi. JAfter he graduated, although he worked for the Gu Corporation, the Gu Corporation did not belong to any of them.
Gu Lingge was the only exception. She had everything she wanted.
Chu He had always despised the man for spoiling his daughter too much.
