Chapter 48: The Estranged Mother Arrives
Mengyu continued, “However, the flower seller intended to pawn off the bad luck by giving away the vase. If someone else ended up with the vase, it’s simply their destiny. You can only blame the seller for having no fate with the vase.
Therefore, no matter who got the vase, there is no reason for them to bring it out and return it to him.”
Gu Dongxing couldn’t read anything from Mengyu’s face, and thought to himself: Could it really be that she didn’t get it?
The matter of the antique vase was finally put to rest.
Wen Meiling learned that Mengyu was only pretending to be Factory Director Gu’s fiancée, and stopped targeting her.
She really wanted to tell Ye Rushui, but considering her husband’s order to stop associating with Ye Rushui and not to reveal Mengyu’s fake engagement with Gu Dongxing, she suppressed the thought.
Following that, Mengyu had some peaceful days.
She pondered how to get Gu Dongxing to accompany her back to the Jiang Family.
Since she had bought rice, flour, vegetables, and meat, Mengyu now cooked every day.
In her past life, she began cooking at a very young age. When she was a shared wife for the Zhou Brothers in Tiger Valley, she continued cooking even after giving birth to children.
Father Jiang was picky about food. He somehow found a cookbook for her, and if the dishes were not tasty, Mengyu would be beaten.
As a result, she was forced to excel in cooking. Even with simple vegetables, she could make delicious meals.
After Gu Dongxing ate her cooking, he no longer wanted to eat cafeteria food.
He hadn’t been on missions lately, so he ate her cooking every day.
Eating the delicious meals, Gu Dongxing’s mind stirred again; he thought he must settle things with this servant-girl soon!
However, this little one seemed not to be “understanding” just yet. Every time he insinuated that topic, she would pretend not to understand, leaving him rather helpless.
During this time, Mengyu was diligently practicing the Witch Body Cultivation Method, cultivating day and night.
Ten days passed, and Mengyu already reached the peak of Postnatal First Layer. With the right opportunity, she could break through to the next layer and become a Second-level Martial Artist.
She thought it might be time for her estranged mother to show up. Should she find a moment to talk with Gu Dongxing about going back to the Jiang Family?
The Jiang Family owed her, and she still had to reclaim what was hers.
That day, Mengyu was cooking in the house.
She swiftly chopped potatoes, her knife falling on the cutting board rhythmically and densely, a sign of her adept knife skills. Beside her were neatly sliced wood ear mushrooms and a bowl of cooked vegetables.
After slicing the potatoes, she took a dried red chili pepper and sliced it similarly. She then began stir-frying the spicy potato strips. Soon, the aroma of food wafted through the house.
She heard a noise at the door and thinking it was Gu Dongxing returning, called out, “You’re back? Go wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon.”
But why was there no response? And she suddenly remembered, Gu Dongxing always had a distinct rhythm to his steps when he arrived. Just now, she had not heard footsteps.
Feeling puzzled, she went over to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a woman standing at the threshold, her eyes brimming with tears, carrying a look of nervousness, excitement, and unease, staring intently at her as if afraid the person before her would vanish the next moment.
Mengyu was shocked: This was her estranged mother. Why had she come?
She had not seen her mother in her previous life, but after she died and became Ah Piao, she had seen her several times following Jiang Huaiyu.
