Chapter 39: Tempting Her
"Aunt Li, it’s no longer the old society, don’t call me that anymore," Yan Zhen Guo said with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
When Yan Zhen Guo turns cold, he tends to be quite intimidating, and now with a serious expression on his face, Mrs. Li, who initially wanted to refute him, hesitated and nodded, saying, "Um... then, what should I call you?"
Yan Zhen Guo replied, "Just call me by my name."
"Yes," Mrs. Li nodded timidly. In front of this new son-in-law, she always felt a bit scared, but when she looked up and saw that Gu Fuqiao wasn’t afraid in front of Yan Zhen Guo, she felt relieved.
When Gu Fuqiao went downstairs, the dining table on the first floor was already full. A middle-aged woman wearing a plain qipao with permed short curls was well-maintained, and the person sitting next to her was Ouyang Qing.
Gu Fuqiao remembered what Mrs. Li had said, that the original hostess dearly loved Ouyang Qing; it appeared to be true. With such a loving demeanor from the original hostess, anyone unaware might truly think Ouyang Qing was her daughter.
While Gu Fuqiao walked up to the table and sat down, the original hostess never even looked at her. As for the original host father, he was eating his meal quietly without saying a word. However, Ouyang Xuan, sitting across from Gu Fuqiao, couldn’t resist speaking. He smiled and said, "Ah Jiao, you’ve finally come back for a visit, why don’t you greet your auntie?"
When Ouyang Xuan spoke, Gu Fuqiao realized she was actually sitting across from this creepy cousin. Suddenly, she found it difficult to swallow the food in her bowl.
Before Gu Fuqiao could speak, the original hostess raised her head to look at her and then said, "Ah Jiao rarely comes back, there’s no need to make it a big deal, we’re not outsiders, what’s the need for greetings?"
