Chapter 451 - 435: The General Manager, Director Xia?
The hallway was not spacious, walking two abreast felt crowded, and to add to that, it was cluttered with all sorts of miscellaneous items. Each floor was very dark, not even a hallway light was in sight. "It’s a bit dark, Mom and Dad, walk slower." Gu Feng, familiar with the path, led the way, lighting the path with his phone behind him for his parents. Given how easily he navigated, it was clear he’d been through here numerous times.
Xia Na and Gu Tianming followed side by side, rendered speechless by their son’s idea of "testing" a girl, which resulted in having her live in such an environment. Xia Na had not refrained from jabbing at him with a few pointed words before he apologized.
Now, Xia Na just felt like crying, suddenly overwhelmed by a sour feeling in her heart—her son was also a victim, having suffered tremendous psychological trauma in the past. Otherwise, why would he become so extreme as to believe that there were no good girls left in the world?
Therefore, Xia Na wasn’t just unable to speak, she even secretly reached up to wipe her eyes.
Seeing her action, Gu Tianming silently reached out his arm to embrace her, tightening his grip momentarily before letting go.
Xia Na turned her head toward Gu Tianming and smiled, feeling a bitter sweetness in her heart. Her son was truly starting to understand. Just by the fact that Ye Man could help her son step out of his past shadows, Xia Na had decided that even if she found something unsatisfactory about the girl, she would turn a blind eye and pretend to be pleased.
At the very least, the willingness to live in such a place with "orphan" Gu Feng showed that she was not the kind of girl who only had eyes for money, right?
But the name Ye Man—why did it seem so familiar?
Upon reflecting, Xia Na quickly remembered: in the Lu Family secretarial office, there was also a girl with deep tenure, having joined the company right after graduating, who shared that name.
