Chapter 43 Small Problem

While eating, Mrs. Gu at least remembered that today was the old lady's birthday. She was much more restrained than usual, knowing that if she bullied Song Xueying too much in front of others, she would only lose face for her son. However, she still couldn't help but pay attention to Chu Yan occasionally.

Found that Chu Yan had been communicating with others with a normal expression from beginning to end, she became more and more unsure about what Chu Yan meant. Just like when she first found Chu Yan a few years ago, this girl gave her the feeling that she was very difficult to deal with.

After the meal, everyone went back to their homes.

Mrs. Gu said to Gu Chuan: "I know you are busy with work, but no matter how busy you are, you still have to go home to visit."

Gu Chuan simply said "Hmm", "I understand."

Mrs. Gu felt sad, wondering what sin she had committed that caused Gu Chuan and her to become estranged as mother and son. Gu Chuan went home less and less frequently. In the past, it was because he did not want to listen to his parents asking him to break up with Chu Yan, but now, he did it to avoid embarrassing Song Xueying.

When Song Xueying met Madam Gu's gaze, her body stiffened involuntarily.

Sure enough, Madam Gu said with dissatisfaction, "Xue Ying, I know you are young and don't think things through, but since you have become Gu Chuan's fiancée, you must be extremely alert and not embarrass Gu Chuan."

Song Xueying replied nervously: "Yes, I will be careful not to embarrass Gu Chuan."

Mr. Gu usually doesn't bother talking to Song Xueying, but today he couldn't help but say a few words, "You and Shen Xing's girlfriend have lived in the old house for a while. Look at Shen Xing's girlfriend. How well does she talk to my mom? Don't always hide it and be petty. It will also be good for Gu Chuan if you have a good relationship with my mom."

Song Xueying was once again compared to Chu Yan. She felt wronged, but she had to bite the bullet and say, "Yes."

Mrs. Gu added: "Also, I heard that your father went to our company to look for Gu Chuan not long ago."

Song Xueying was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Gu Chuan who had an indifferent expression. He did not tell her that her father had gone to see him again. The reason why her father went to see Gu Chuan was definitely to ask for money.

Madam Gu frowned in disgust. "You should have less contact with people over there. If other people knew that your relatives always come to ask for money, and told others, my Gu family would also be embarrassed."

Mrs. Gu only said that the people over there were Song Xueying's relatives, and she would never agree that such vulgar people could be relatives of the Gu family. She simply looked down on Song Xueying's relatives and did not hide it at all.

Song Xueying lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said: "Yes."

She knew from the beginning that the Gu family looked down on her parents, and that was understandable. After all, her parents were indeed criticized, but they were her parents after all. The Gu family looked down on her parents, and in fact, they had always looked down on her.

Gu Chuan finally spoke up, "Okay, it's getting late, you should leave."

Mrs. Gu then shut up and left with Mr. Gu.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen left first, leaving only a few young people in the house.

Shen Xing returned to the bedroom to pack his things. The old lady had planted many flowers in the yard and was very generous, allowing Chu Yan and Song Xueying to pick any they liked and take them home.

Song Xueying's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and subconsciously avoided Gu Chuan. She raised her face and smiled, "I'll go pack my things. Gu Chuan, you take a rest."

She quickly went upstairs, and the moment she closed the door, she answered the phone. Gu Chuan sat in the living room, not wanting to investigate Song Xueying's guilty behavior. He looked at the messages in the work group, giving instructions and replies as numbly as a machine. Even though he had taken a few days off for his grandmother's birthday, it was as if he had not taken any leave.

A lot of work cannot be done without him, and he also needs to spend a lot of time to respond.

He looked up unexpectedly and saw a figure passing by outside.

Chu Yan took the tools given by the gardener and walked to the flower bed in the courtyard with great interest. She liked flowers with pure colors. When she saw the beautiful red roses in bloom for the first time, she thought about taking them home and placing them somewhere as decoration.

She cut off the first flower, a gorgeous fiery red flower that was particularly gorgeous and eye-catching.

"Do you like red roses?"

The sudden sound startled Chu Yan who was squatting on the ground. Her finger was cut by the thorns of the flower, and soon a small wound appeared, oozing out some blood.

Gu Chuan hurriedly squatted down and held her hand, "You're hurt."

The next second, Chu Yan pulled her hand out. She stood up and took two steps back, smiling politely, "It's just a small problem."

Although there was a smile on her face, Gu Chuan could feel her vigilance and alertness.

In Chu Yan's opinion, even if they were related because of Shen Xing, there was a difference between men and women, and Gu Chuan had crossed the proper distance, which was obviously wrong.

Gu Chuan also realized that he was too rash. The feeling of contact with her on his hand seemed to be still there, but it disappeared very quickly. The brief touch just now actually aroused more of his desire.

He stood up slowly. He was tall and slender, with a noble temperament. His black eyes were as calm as a well. "I have medicine."

"It's okay. This little injury will heal quickly. No medicine is needed."

Gu Chuan was silent for a while and said: "Roses have thorns. You should be more careful in protecting yourself."

"I didn't wear gloves because I thought it was troublesome."

Gu Chuan glanced at her hands. Her fingers were slender, and the silver ring was shining in the sunlight. The blood from the tiny wound on her fingertips was particularly glaring.

He closed his eyes, snatched the scissors from her hand, and said, "I'll help you."

Afterwards, without waiting for Chu Yan's answer, he squatted down, cut off a blooming rose, carefully removed the thorns on the stem, then, holding the flower, he stretched out his hand towards her.

Chu Yan didn't know what kind of person Gu Chuan was. Just based on a few brief contacts, she felt that he was a man who appeared to be very polite and well-mannered, but was actually cold and distant on the inside. A man like this, even if he had a good relationship with Shen Xing, would not take care of Shen Xing's girlfriend to such an extent.

Chu Yan didn't move, and Gu Chuan didn't seem to notice Chu Yan's confusion. He didn't take back the flower, but said calmly: "Grandma likes you very much. Thank you for talking to her all these days."
