Chapter 1104 - 927, Looking After
"Greetings to Your Grace the Duke!"
Guo Ruomei and Chu Lang had just followed Daohua into the backyard when they bumped right into Gu Jian. Aware of Gu Jian’s status, both swiftly paid their respects.
Gu Jian glanced at Guo Ruomei.
This was his first time meeting Xiaojiu’s former wife. He couldn’t be bothered to find out why they divorced. But Daohua was due to give birth in a little over a month, and he was quite pleased that Xiao Yeyang’s birth mother could come to take care of her at this time.
Even though he was a physician, there were things he had to avoid during childbirth. The midwives at home could not compare with the reassurance brought by Xiao Yeyang’s own mother.
Gu Jian ’hmm’ed and gestured for Guo Ruomei to rise, then gave Chu Lang a look-over. Without a word, he simply instructed Daohua, "Our guests have come from afar. Make sure they are treated well."
With that, he walked away.
Hearing the word ’guests’ from Gu Jian, Guo Ruomei’s face turned slightly bitter, but she felt a deep sense of satisfaction that Gu Jian had allowed her to visit.
If this were in Beijing, she probably would have had to meet her son and daughter-in-law from the outside, without much fanfare.
Chu Lang, on the other hand, showed no reaction. Putting aside his relation to Ruomei, his status at the Xiao Residence could barely qualify as a guest.
Worried that Guo Ruomei might feel that Gu Jian was being cold, Daohua quickly explained with a smile, "Mother, my master can be somewhat reclusive. Don’t be fooled by his stern face; he’s actually very kind. Once Mother and Uncle Chu have stayed in the residence for a while, you’ll understand."
