Volume 15, Drifting Space, Chapter 12, Retention in Disguise
Gu Yao was brought to a living room by Duanmu Qing's mother. Apart from the two of them, there was no third party. From this, it can be seen that this conversation was not too simple, otherwise the lady would have chosen the opportunity at the dinner table.
He felt slightly nervous. Gu Yao was not a person who had not experienced ups and downs. On the contrary, his social experience was now very rich, including many strange things that people would never experience in their lifetime.
No matter who has experienced so many things, he will become mature and calm, but this small conversation is a little different, because if things go smoothly with Duanmu, the lady standing in front of him may very well be his prospective mother-in-law.
.
When a son-in-law meets his future mother-in-law for the first time, he may feel a little anxious, and Gu Yao is no exception.
"Please sit down, you're welcome." Seeing his awkward look, the noble lady smiled gently. She was worthy of being Duanmu Qing's mother. Her smile was exactly the same as Duanmu Qing's, making people feel like spring breeze and very comfortable.
Gu Yao's tension immediately eased, and the two parties sat down separately. At that moment, a maid came in, made tea, and left again.
The lady said: "Young man, your name is Gu Yao, right?"
Gu Yao said: "Yes, Auntie, I am Duanmuqing's classmate at the Holy Academy, and I am also Xiahoujin's roommate."
After thinking about it, Gu Yao felt that it was better to be conservative in his relationship with Duanmu Qing for the time being.
The lady nodded: "You should know, I am Xiaoqing's mother, Wendy."
Gu Yao said hurriedly: "I once heard Duanmu Qing mention you. When she was trapped on the island, she said she missed you very much."
What he said is somewhat inconsistent with the facts, because Duanmu Qing has not really been to Alcatraz Island. However, it is true that she missed her mother very much when she was in the demon world. So it cannot be said to be deception.
Wendy smiled and said: "Haha. Xiaoqing, this child, has been very dependent on me since she was a child. She is a kind girl, but she has a good heart and does not understand the dangers of the world. Therefore, I have always been worried about her future.
She needs to find a competent man who cares about her wholeheartedly and loves her. Don’t you think so?"
Gu Yao's heart, which had just been calm, suddenly began to beat wildly again. Wendy got straight to the point and talked about Duanmu Qing's marriage. What exactly did she mean? At this time, he could only echo: "You are right!"
Wendy continued: "She is just the third girl from the Dongfang family. After all, she and Xiaoqing are good friends who have known each other since childhood. But it is very rare that you can venture out to sea with her and go to Alcatraz Island to find Xiaoqing."
After a pause, she continued: "Gu Yao, you like Xiao Qing, right?"
Wendy's words came so suddenly. Gu Yao was startled. But at this time, he could never give a negative answer anyway. So he coughed twice and said: "Yes. I do like her very much!"
Wendy laughed again when she saw this: "Haha, it's not shameful to like someone, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Gu Yao was overjoyed when he heard this. Listening to Wendy's words, it seemed that she didn't object to her falling in love with Duan Muqing. This was really great. Previously, she was a little worried about whether her family would agree because of the huge difference between her and Duan Muqing's family background.
"But----" Wendy's tone changed when she said this, which made Gu Yao's heart hang up again.
Are there any other problems that prevent him from marrying Duanmu Qing?
At this time, everyone will have a lot to think about. After all, it will be difficult to get together without the other person's family nodding.
Wendy's expression suddenly became serious, in stark contrast to her previous gentleness: "As Xiao Qing's mother, there is something I must talk to you about, or you should have heard about it. A few years ago, in Xiao Qing
Some very unpleasant things happened to her, can you accept her without any grudges, care for her, and protect her?"
As soon as Gu Yao arrived at the family, Wendy felt that his relationship with Duan Muqing was unusual, otherwise she would not have risked her life to go to Alcatraz Island, so she launched an investigation.
Duanmuqing's thoughts could be hidden from many people, including her brother, but she could not hide them from Jiang Yajing, who was also a woman. She could vaguely see that there was some ambiguity between this prospective sister-in-law and Gu Yao. She was not flirtatious before, but
Wendy asked, so she told the truth.
In addition, Wendy also got to know Gu Yao through Duanmu Xi, Xia Houjin and others, and learned that when he was in the Holy Academy, he was a positive, hard-working, smart and studious person, and eventually ranked among the top five in the academy.
Good students who graduate with excellent grades have no stain on their character.
After four years of working together in internships, Jiang Yajing and Duanmuxi both believed that the toilet door incident in the first grade was purely a misunderstanding. With Gu Yao's character, it was impossible for him to intentionally commit such a bad behavior, so they did not mention it.
All are good reviews.
During this period, Wendy also personally observed Gu Yao and found that he was cautious in conversation, modest in attitude, and well-behaved, showing a poise and maturity that most people at this age do not have.
Furthermore, Duanmu Qing also flirted with the boy from time to time. Although it was not obvious, as a mother, she still noticed it. This meant that her daughter also had intentions, and it was not the other's wishful thinking. Based on the information that Zongzong saw and asked,
After summarizing, Wendy felt confident.
To be honest, she was very satisfied with this young man. Wendy didn't mind Gu Yao's origin. Even if his parents were dead and he had no relatives, it would not be a bad thing for the Duanmu family. Those virtuous people with no family background
Talent is exactly what all parties want. What Wendy cares most about is her daughter's happiness. If Gu Yao just uses Duan Muqing as a tool to achieve the purpose of controlling power, it will definitely cause harm to Duan Muqing. After that incident,
Her mental trauma was already severe and she could no longer bear it.
Therefore, she had to be clear about this. If Gu Yao hesitated, or had different intentions, Wendy would stop Duan Muqing from dating him.
Huh, it turned out to be this kind of problem. Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Aunt, what I like is Duanmu Qing's kindness, gentleness, everything about her, no matter what happens, she will always be in my heart.
In the most pure way, I will devote everything I have to watching over her and not letting her be wronged in the slightest, please believe me!"
Duan Muqing was originally innocent because of herself, but Gu Yao would mind it so much. After all the ups and downs, they were finally able to get together, and Gu Yao was not afraid to be disgusted in front of Wendy and reveal that he really liked Duan Muqing.
These heartfelt words are all from the heart, and even a guy like Xia Houjin should be able to feel his sincerity and sincerity.
Wendy looked at Gu Yao for a long time, and finally a smile broke out on her face: "That's good, then I can leave her to you with confidence!".
She couldn't see any pretentiousness in Gu Yao. This young man loved Duanmu Qing with all his heart.
Gu Yao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, aunt!"
I really didn't expect that on the first day I arrived at the Duanmu family, I would get the support of Duanmu Qing's mother. This would make future development much easier.
When Gu Yao left with a happy face, he saw Dongfang Lu on the road.
"Tsk, it seems like you got good news when you went to see your aunt, you stinky scoundrel!"
Gu Yao was in a good mood at this time, and said with joy: "I accept your noble words, that's exactly what it is."
"Well, congratulations, your dream has finally come true." When Dongfang Lu said this, a trace of sadness flashed across her face: "By the way, I'm going back to Lingyou County tomorrow."
Like a cold water being poured on his head, Gu Yao's good mood was immediately diluted. Even he didn't understand why he felt this way again. He frowned and said: "So soon? Why don't you stay in Lance County for a few more days? It's a rare encounter.
So many old friends.”
Dongfang Lu shook her head and said: "No, I have been away from my family for so long. I think my family will care about me."
"Hey, they don't think so. It's best if you hang out outside for a long time so that they can be at peace!" Gu Yao tried to joke as usual, but Dongfang Lu rarely quarreled with him, but calmly said
He said: "No matter what you say, I have to leave tomorrow. The time to say goodbye will come sooner or later, right?"
Different from the fiery Dongfang Lu in the past, sadness rarely appeared in her. Gu Yao was also infected. For some reason, she could no longer be happy in her heart. The good mood she had just gained from Wendy's support disappeared.
"Then, I'm leaving. There's no need to send it off tomorrow. I don't like that kind of scene, bastard. Goodbye." After giving Gu Yao a deep look, Dongfang Lu walked away.
Her back looked extremely lonely at this time. Gu Yao suddenly couldn't suppress his impulse and said loudly: "Wait a minute!"
Dongfang Lu stopped, hesitated, and finally turned around: "What's the matter?"
Gu Yao said: "Miss Third, I want you to accompany me to visit my hometown. I haven't been back for a long time!"
Dongfang Lu asked puzzledly: "Why do you ask me to accompany you?"
Gu Yao touched his nose and said, "Hey, I guess we've walked so many roads together and we're a little used to it. Hey, no matter what, is that okay?"
Dongfang Lu thought for a moment, and in Gu Yao's expectant eyes, she softly uttered two words: "Okay."
Gu Yao said hurriedly: "Then it's settled, we can't go back on it!"
Dongfang Lu rolled her eyes at him: "Tsk, do you think I am that kind of person?"
Seeing the roll of her eyes and hearing the slightly contemptuous word "cut", the familiar Dongfang Lu came back again. For some reason, Gu Yao liked this feeling very much.
Well, is this a disguised form of retention?
"Anyway, I want to see what kind of ghost place can breed a gangster like you."
"What? I should say, what kind of a good place it is that can breed outstanding talents like me!"
The verbal war between the two started again, which attracted the side glances of the servants passing by. Those who didn't know about it thought they had a deep hatred between them.
Until they walked away, Wendy walked out from the corner and said to herself: "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, maybe you have an unexpected opponent." ----------
