Chapter 63

Gu Weiyi didn't even raise his eyes, just drank the soup quietly. Mo felt a little strange. He seemed a little cold when he got home. But she didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, the man had more time to be eccentric. After Mo had eaten, she asked about the time when Gu Weiyi’s parents would come, and then ran to his bed, refused to move. His bed had an electric mattress. It was so comfortable to sleep on.

 

...

 

At dinner time, Mo blushed and opened her stool, showing what she thought was the most virtuous and graceful manner. She respectfully called, ‘Hello uncle, hello aunt.’

 

Uncle Gu nodded expressionlessly. Gu Weiyi’s mother and Aunt Wang Shuhong smiled and said, ‘Good, good, are you tired?’

 

Mo blushed even harder and stammered, ‘Not, not bad.’

 

‘Eat.’ The master of Gu's family spoke.

 

Mo breathed a sigh of relief and reached for the bowl. A flash came to her mind, which almost slid the bowl down from her hand. She was frightened, quickly stabilized, and then peered at the elders on the table secretly. Fortunately, no one found it. Instead, Gu Weiyi was looking at her with a faint smile, as if enjoying her helplessness.

 

It's not the first time Mo had seen Gu Weiyi’s parents, and she's natural and graceful usually. She shouldn't have been in a flurry. But just half an hour ago, when Mo was sleeping in Gu Weiyi’s bed which was like the paradise on earth. Gu Weiyi’s mother came to ask her to get up and eat. She was so sleepy that she thought Gu Weiyi was making trouble with her that she scratched a pillow with her eyes closed and threw it over. Fortunately, Aunt Wang was also a good walker on the river and lake, so she could get away quickly.

 

Mo threw the pillow away and opened her eyes. Aunt Wang was looking at her kindly. To be honest, if she had a knife at that time, she would absolutely wipe her neck as an apology. When Mo cried to Gu Weiyi about that, he was stunned at first, then laughed and said, ‘You must be the first person in my mother’s life who dared to throw things to her.’

 

Thinking about that, Mo couldn't resist staring at Gu Weiyi. Unexpectedly, he grinned silently. She turned away her eyes angrily and found uncle Gu was looking at her seriously and thoughtfully.

 

Having been caught by such a bad behavior, Mo almost killed herself by biting her tongue.

 

After a meal, Mo felt like she was on a battlefield. Especially when she followed her mother's instructions and rushed to wash dishes, uncle Gu, who had been silent, suddenly said, ‘You can have a rest, we have aunt do wash the dishes in our family.’

 

She was a little discouraged, vaguely feeling that she had ruined everything, so she was depressed and hid in the room to played games with her phone.

 

‘Mo, may I come in?’ Gu Weiyi’s mother, Wang Shuhong’s voice came from outside the door.

 

Mo quickly dropped her phone, took the slipper and rushed to open the door. Wang Shuhong held two cups of tea in her hand and handed a cup to Mo, ‘You must be frozen out. Drink a cup of tea to warm your stomach.’

 

Mo repeatedly thanked her and took the cup, then sat down on the edge of the bed, sipping tea. She thought to herself that no wonder Gu Weiyi was so fond of tea, just liked his mother.

 

‘Mo, how about the weather here? Are you getting used to it?’ Wang Shuhong chose one of the most approachable topics to start her conversation.

 

Mo had read a lot of stories, and had always worried about scenes like coming with evil intent, a rich family was as deep as the sea, breaking up affectionate couples and so on, was suddenly asked such a simple question, she hesitated for a few seconds before saying, ‘No, it's very warm.’

 

Wang Shuhong smiled and said, ‘Warm will be fine, warm will be fine. Don't be so nervous. I'm just chatting with you.’

 

Mo swallowed her mouth and nodded.

 

Wang Shuhong took a sip of tea and said slowly, ‘I'm actually asking you what your plans are. Our plans are to get you married after graduation. If you can't wait, you can get married now. Although Weiyi has no income, everything in the house is ready-made, even if you have children, we can also help. If you don't want to use our money, in fact, from the beginning of Mo’s study, I helped him open an account, dedicated to saving his scholarship, I specifically checked, over the years, it has saved more than 200,000 yuan. In fact, we really hope that you could get married now. After all, we are old and looking forward to having a little kid at home…’

 

Mo was surprised, wondering how many prizes he had won since he was a child to get so many scholarships.

 

‘What are you doing, Situ Mo? I’m coming in.’ Gu Weiyi’s voice came out of the door at the right time, and then the door opened. Gu Weiyi was stunned when he saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in bed and asked alertly, ‘Mom, what are you doing here?’

 

‘I'm just here to chat with Mo. Don't act as if I'll eat her.’ Wang Shuhong said sulkily and turned to Mo with a kind face, ‘Mo, think about what aunt said to you today, and tell aunt your answer, I’ll go out first.’

 

Mo nodded obediently, ‘Okay, I see. Good night, aunt.’

 

‘Good night.’

 

Gu Weiyi waited for his mother to go out and asked, ‘What did my mom just tell you?’

 

‘No, just to ask when we'll get married.’ Mo said.

 

‘Then how did you answer?’ Gu Weiyi questioned.

 

‘You came in before I could answer.’ Mo thought about it and said, ‘I think your father doesn't like me. What should I do?’

 

Gu Weiyi shrugged, ‘Never mind. He likes nobody except money and my mother.’

 

‘Don't talk about your father like that.’ Mo scolded him. ‘He's just busy, and he works hard in order to provide you with better material conditions. I don't like your attitude towards your parents. They are family members, not strangers. Don't do that.’

 

Gu Weiyi was somewhat disagreeable, and reluctantly said, ‘I see. Wordy.’ Then he whispered, ‘No wonder the old man likes you.’

 

‘What did you say?’ Mo heard the key words with a keen ear and asked with delight, ‘Did you say your father likes me?’

 

Gu Weiyi hummed and said, ‘He called me into the study just now and told me to get married early. He told me not to keep a good girl waiting.’

 

Mo smiled with relief and said proudly, ‘I knew that, I can fix your father since I’m so invincible and excellent.’ Although she didn't know how she managed it herself.

 

Gu Weiyi was too lazy to listen to her show-off. He just said, ‘Take your time and talk to my mother carefully. Don't let her trick from you that we have already got married. It doesn't matter to me, but your mother would kill you.’

 

After such a reminder, Mo secretly urged herself to be careful in speaking.
