Chapter 500: Seeing Through the Thoughts
"What's wrong? You look flustered."
Gu Taohua almost fell into Tong Huaqiong's arms.
Gu Taohua calmed down and said, "I'll bring mother some sour plum soup."
Tong Huaqiong was thirsty, so she took the sour plum soup and drank it in one gulp.
Gu Taohua was too impulsive just now, but Tong Huaqiong didn't have the heart to blame her. If Gu Taohua were in the world she had lived in, she would be a high school student.
“Mom, are you comparing me to Miss Lian Er? I’m very irritable.”
Gu Taohua was unusually sensitive today. She thought of the steady Miss Lian Er.
The second young lady is not much older than her, and she can run her own business, but she still needs her mother's support.
Tong Huaqiong has never compared Gu Taohua with Miss Lian Er.
Tong Huaqiong said: "There is no comparison between the two of you. I think you are very good."
In her heart, her own daughter is of course the best in the world.
Gu Taohua said: "I thought mother disliked me because she saw that Miss Lian Er was so smart and capable."
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Ms. Lian's family is so bad that she has to be smart and capable. Besides, I don't think you are worse than her."
It is said that environment shapes people, but don’t you look at the environment in which Miss Lian grew up?
No, why did Gu Taohua compare herself with Miss Lian Er?
In the past, no matter whether it was the rich and beautiful Lu Zhaozhao or Huang Jingshan, Gu Taohua never compared herself with them.
"Why are you comparing yourself with Miss Lian Er?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
Gu Taohua hesitated and said that she was just sighing when she saw people of the same age were more capable than her.
After saying that, he ran away in a flash.
Her fat daughter's thoughts were all shown on her face. Tong Huaqiong felt that Gu Taohua would not compare herself with Miss Lian Er for no reason.
Tong Huaqiong's eyes sparkled, Gu Taohua has grown up and become thoughtful.
When I raised my eyes, I saw Su Chengmin.
I have to say that Su Chengmin is very good-looking. If he dresses up a bit, he can debut with Gu Jingzhe.
He and Gu Jingzhe are handsome in different ways. Gu Jingzhe's handsomeness is with the elegant temperament of a scholar, and if you are not careful, you can easily go the route of a gentleman. Su Chengmin's handsomeness is the kind of sunny handsomeness, the hard handsomeness with eight-pack abs.
Could it be that my fat girl is secretly in love with Su Chengmin?
Her behavior just now was too much like that of a little girl in love.
I just don’t know what Su Chengmin’s attitude towards her is. As someone close to Xiaolong, it’s a question whether Su Chengmin can make it to the end.
Tong Huaqiong had no idea about Su Chengmin in Tong Dajiao's memory, so she didn't know Su Chengmin's final outcome or his true background.
She stopped the ill-fated relationship between Gu Taohua and Fan Tong, and it seems like a new relationship is about to begin.
Su Chengmin is someone close to Xiaolong. As the male protagonist in Tong Dajiao's world, everyone around him is surrounded by the aura of the protagonist, right?
Su Chengmin's ending is terrible.
"Aunt Tong, why are you looking at me like that?" Su Chengmin asked.
Aunt Tong and Gu Taohua, mother and daughter, were both acting strangely today. One was angry with him, and the other was staring at him with an inquiring look.
He didn't do anything.
I just want to go back to Qinghe Bay for a few days.
Tong Huaqiong asked, "I want to ask if you have ever been engaged before?"
Su Chengmin blushed and quickly shook his head.
"Aunt Tong, why are you asking me this question?"
Tong Huaqiong said, "Just asking. By the way, do you have a girl you like?"
The blush on Su Chengmin's face spread to his ears, and he ran away, ran away!
Tong Huaqiong shrugged. It seemed that Su Chengmin had developed feelings for Gu Taohua.
What was Su Chengmin's final outcome?
Tong Huaqiong wanted to dig up every corner of Tong Huaqiong's memories from her previous life and search through them, wanting to know more about Su Chengmin.
But she was disappointed in the end.
There is still no such person as Su Chengmin.
She didn't know how far Gu Taohua's feelings for Su Chengmin had developed. She originally didn't want Su Chengmin to return to Qinghe Bay, but it seemed that she had to let him go back.
First physically isolate the two of them for a while.
Su Chengmin ran out like a rabbit, his heart pounding.
Aunt Tong is such a smart person, she must have seen through his feelings for Gu Taohua, and this is a hint for him.
How can a person like him who walks on the edge of a knife, who is on the alert all night long, and who may have no tomorrow after today, have the right to like peach blossoms?
When Su Chengmin thought of this, he became more and more determined to return to Qinghe Bay. It was no longer suitable for him to stay around Gu Taohua.
......
Su Chengmin returned to Qinghe Bay early the next morning.
Nie Xiaofeng went alone to inquire about the affairs of the Zheng family and the Lian family.
After Gu Baishuang learned about it, she sent an old friend to accompany him. The Nie family had a ceramic shop in Pingchuan, which was owned by two step-sons. They did not allow Gu Baishuang and Nie Xiaofeng to have anything to do with it. This old friend was capable and careful, which aroused the jealousy of the two step-sons and they excluded him. After Gu Baishuang learned about it, she recruited him to her side.
Her stepmother was right, she needed to cultivate her own people.
This guy has his own connections in all the major families in Pingchuan, so Nie Xiaofeng can rest assured with him accompanying him to inquire about Gu Baishuang and Tong Huaqiong.
According to the agreement with Xu Zaohua, Gu Ruinian went to Zheng's house early in the morning to keep the appointment.
Xu Zaohua sent a personal maid to bring him into the Zheng family through the corner gate.
After so many years of traveling here, this was his first time entering a wealthy family.
The families of the rich were indeed different. Their houses and courtyards were within courtyards, and their pavilions and towers were just like the gardens he had visited in later years.
Beautiful women were walking around in the garden, and the maids were all dressed so beautifully.
It is indeed a land of wealth and luxury.
Gu Ruinian wished he could stay in this garden forever.
Walking through the corridor and arriving at Xu Zaohua's yard, Xu Zaohua was eating breakfast and waited for a long time before letting Gu Ruinian in.
Gu Ruinian was unhappy and felt that Xu Zaohua was deliberately ignoring him.
As soon as I walked into the house, the heat that I felt outside was replaced by a cool breeze.
There were basins of ice at the four corners of the room, and an old woman was fanning the air, so that a cool breeze filled the entire room.
Xu Zaohua really knows how to enjoy herself.
"The year of Rui is coming."
Xu Zaohua was sitting crookedly on a chaise longue, holding a cup of tea. A maid was massaging her legs. Xu Zaohua greeted Gu Ruinian but did not look up at him.
Gu Ruinian felt looked down upon again.
"Sister Zaohua."
Gu Ruinian spoke briskly, glancing around out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Zaohua's house was decorated magnificently, and her behavior at this time reminded Gu Ruinian of the mistress of a certain famous novel.
The Xu Zaohua in the original body's memory was a country girl. She had no talent and her appearance could not compare to Gu Xiaocao and Gu Taohua in Qinghe Bay. She was lucky to live such a good life.
"Sit down." Xu Zaohua waved her hand.
Gu Ruinian sat down, and soon a pretty maid brought him tea. Gu Ruinian took the tea and thanked him gently.
He really wanted to touch the maid's soft bottom.
I didn’t dare to do that in front of Xu Zaohua.
After a while, another maid brought a honeydew melon and placed it in front of Xu Zaohua. There was ice under the melon. Soon another maid came up and picked up the honeydew melon with a fork and put it into Xu Zaohua's mouth.
Gu Ruinian's eyes widened and envy surged in his chest.
A house that is warm in winter and cool in summer, with beautiful women surrounding him to serve him, this is the life he should live if he traveled through time to this era.
