"I'm jealous of your mother." Chu Zishan opened his hand angrily.
Gu Yimo pursed his lips, a hint of sadness gradually appeared in his eyes, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "In my childhood memory, my mother was a woman who was spoiled by her father. She was so spoiled that she didn't even comb her hair.
My father would complain about her while patiently combing her hair and putting on makeup. He also forced me to learn how to comb her hair and put on makeup, saying that I would comb her hair and put on makeup when he was away.
I was reluctant because I thought my mother was too lazy. My mother smiled and said that when I meet a woman I like in the future, I will know that combing her hair and makeup is an extremely happy thing.
Now, I have met a woman I love, and I want to comb her hair and make up, give her all the good things, and pamper her like a child. I understand my father's happiness, and I want to tell my mother that I am happy with it, but... my mother will listen again.
It’s not here.”
In just two sentences, Chu Zishan was filled with envy for his parents' love and happiness, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of himself in his previous life.
Looking up, he saw a line of clear tears streaking down his angular cheeks and dripping onto his hands.
She looked down on a grown man crying the most. However, at this moment, Gu Yimo made her believe that the man did not shed tears easily because he was not in a sad place, so she felt inexplicably distressed and wanted to comfort him.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Gu Yimo quickly wiped away his tears and smiled awkwardly at her: "I feel a little sentimental when I think of my mother, which makes Zishan laugh."
"I envy your parents' love." She said what she was thinking casually.
Gu Yimo held her hand and looked at her with burning eyes: "We can do the same, we will be better than them, and we will love each other until we grow old."
His affectionate words were like a blazing fire, which made Chu Zishan a little unable to resist.
She retracted her hand, shyly avoiding his gaze, and coughed twice: "Well, I went to see you that day. Are you poisoned?"
"No." Gu Yimo shook his head and said, "I'm just suffering from the cold."
Chu Zishan looked at him. The slightest movement just now disappeared suddenly, and his bright eyes became a little dim.
He kept saying that he was pleased with her, but he couldn't be honest with her. It seemed that he had an ulterior motive in approaching her.
This man is very good at winning the sympathy of others. She must be careful not to fall into his gentle trap in the future.
Seeing Chu Zishan's downcast expression, he said, "Zishan, are you angry?"
Chu Zishan smiled lightly: "Why are you angry? As long as you're fine."
She rubbed her shoulders: "I haven't practiced Golden Boring since I returned to the capital to recuperate. I'm a little tired after just doing rounds. I'll take a squint."
"Come, lie on my lap, make it more comfortable." Gu Yimo smiled and patted his leg.
Chu Zishan rolled his eyes at him: "There are differences between men and women."
"We're all riding in the same carriage..." Seeing her displeasure, Gu Yimo stopped his teasing in time, used a soft position to let her rest on his head, and then took off his cloak and covered her body.
Chu Zishan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, avoiding facing Gu Yimo.
Gu Yimo knew from her fluttering eyelashes that she was pretending to sleep, so he smiled fondly and gently brushed away the messy hair from her forehead, his shining eyes full of infinite tenderness.
After being blocked and robbed by the Li family, they stayed in a neighboring city for one night and returned to the Champion House at noon the next day.
Mr. Chu He sat cross-legged on the Arhat couch, looking at the piles of account books on the table, feeling a headache.
Chu Zishan and Mei had been to Yangcheng for five or six days, and they didn't know what was going on there. She was restless with worry and anxiety, and was distracted from everything she did.
She blamed herself for trusting Chu Zishan, a loser who failed to achieve anything but failed. She became more and more worried, thinking that she would rush to Yangcheng if he didn't come back after another two days.
"Madam, madam!"
The anxious voice of the housekeeper came from outside the house, and then the man ran into the hall.
Mrs. Chu He frowned: "Why are you panicking? What happened again?"
The housekeeper panted and said, "We're back. The second lady and the eldest girl are back."
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Chu He had already jumped to the ground and ran out barefoot. Aunt Zhao quickly took her shoes and chased after her: "Madam, Madam hasn't put on her shoes yet."
Mrs. Chu He hurried to the front hall and saw Mrs. Mei being carried in on a stretcher. Her face was almost as white as the bandage on her head and her breath was dying.
She ran over with panic on her face: "Mr. Mei, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Mei responded weakly.
Mrs. Chu He turned around and saw Gu Yimo and Chu Zishan walking in. She didn't see Chu Zhinan. She immediately rushed towards Chu Zishan with anger.
"Chu Zishan, how could your second aunt be so seriously injured? How could you promise me before leaving for Yangcheng? How could I believe that you would do good things, you evil deed?"
She raised her hand and hit Chu Zishan.
After a heavy slap, Dingqing saw Gu Yimo clearly in front of her, with red fingerprints clearly appearing on her face. She had slapped the wrong person again.
This time she didn't feel as guilty as last time, and glared at Gu Yimo even more angrily: "Gu Yimo, I asked you to help me, what have you done? You didn't take my words seriously at all, okay, I can't help you.
You, please leave immediately."
"Mrs. Chu."
Gu Yimo shouted sharply, with a serious look in his eyes, "This is the second time you have beaten Zishan indiscriminately. You are her mother, how could you treat her so harshly.
Did you know that she tried her best to send Li Bo to prison, and asked Chu Zhinan to fight against him? She also wanted to get back the dowry and all the assets given to the Li family by the Chu family. When she left Yangcheng, she was robbed and killed by the Li family and bandits.
, it was she who stood in front without hesitation, shielding her family from the deadly rain of blades and arrows.
You condemned the second lady just by seeing her injuries. She is your only daughter, how can you not have any trust and pity for her? Are you her biological mother?"
Mrs. Chu He was stunned by Gu Yimo's yelling, and the last sentence hit her sore spot. She shouted angrily: "You lowly businessman, where do you have the courage to yell at me? I'm trying to take care of you even though I'm giving you a favor."
It's my Chu family's business, get out of here, get out of here right now, and you're not allowed to enter my Chu family's house again."
"I will leave, but I have to finish my words. Zishan is my future wife. I will not allow anyone to bully her, and neither can you."
After that, he held Chu Zishan's hand and walked out of the hall angrily.
When the two went out, they met Chu Zhinan, who was carrying her child in. Seeing that Gu Yimo was very angry, she looked puzzled.
"Auntie, why did Mr. Gu drag Zishan away in such a rage?"
Mrs. Chu He shouted: "Let her go away and never return to this home."
Mrs. Mei forced herself to sit up and said weakly: "Sister-in-law, you are so wrong..."
Chu Zishan was pulled by Gu Yimo towards the backyard. She looked at his tall background and thought that just now, he stood in front of her for the first time. This was the second time he had received a slap from his mother for her.
Even though she knew he might have ulterior motives, what he did still made her feel warm.
In this world, apart from her grandparents, the only one who can protect her is Gu Yimo.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, this feeling of being protected is really good.
"Hey, where are you dragging me to?" Chu Zishan looked in the direction that was not her dormitory, so she grabbed him.
He turned his head and looked at her with a look of sorrow and grievance: "Zishan, let's elope!" This chapter has been completed!
