Chapter 309 This was my home.
As the host, Li Yunhong had to prepare the dainty and hearty dinner for them even if she did not like Gu Yan. What she done was just for not ruining the reputation of Mo’s family. However, Gu Yan felt the food was indescribably bland and insipid.
Looking at the food on her plate, which was picked up by Li Yunhong, Gu Yan was hard to swallow, but she had to pretend to be enjoying because of Mo Yichen and Mo Xiangyan. She didn’t want to embarrass the people she loved.
“Thank you, aunt. It’s delicious.” Gu Yan said with a smile, against her will.
Li Yunhong had a happier smile. She picked up food for Gu Yan again and said with a smile, “You work so hard, and you should eat more.”
The food on Gu Yan’s plate made her be nauseous. She hesitated for a while. She didn’t want to eat it actually, so she just said, “Excuse me, I’m going to the bathroom.”
“It’s okay. Aunt Gu, go ahead.” Mo Xiangyan said happily because he was so happy to see that his grandma and Aunt Gu could get along well with each other.
But as for Mo Yichen, he just looked at Gu Yan with doubts. Mo Yichen had an intuition that the relationship between them was not that good. It was not real that they could get along well with each other.
Gu Yan didn’t dare to look at Mo Yichen’s eyes. She just twitched her mouth and left the table.
Li Yunhong smiled at Xiangyan, “Xiangyan, I’m going to see your Aunt Gu. Take your time. I’m afraid that she cannot find the bathroom.”
Mo Xiangyan was happy that his grandma was so nice to Aunt Gu. So, he replied happily, “Okay, grandma. Don’t worry about me. I can take care of myself.”
Mo Xiangyan devoured his meal.
All of these were watched by Mo Yichen, and he knew it wasn’t that simple. However, he was clear that he couldn’t do anything now, and the current situation would not be changed in short time.
So, he just felt quite helpless and lowered his head without a word.
Gu Yan rinsed her mouth when she came in the bathroom. Then she was just leaning against the wall and closed her eyes. She felt so tired.
Gu Yan was a forthright and sincere person, so she was not very sociable at this kind of party.
Gu Yan took a deep breath and felt relax at this bathroom.
After a while, she thought it was time to come back. Although it was hard to face Li Yunhong for her, but she still had to cheer her up and came back to the table. She had to keep on fighting.
“Oh...my...” She saw a woman standing before her when she just opened her eyes. She was terribly frightened.
It looked that Gu Yan was so exhausted that she didn’t notice someone was closing to her.
Gu Yan got relieved when she recognized it was Li Yunhong. Gu Yan connected in her mind with countless ghost movies’ plots at that moment. Luckily, it was Li Yunhong instead of any other main characters in horror movies.
“Aunt? Why are you here? Are you also going to the bathroom?” Gu Yan fixed her hair and said softly.
“What? Why can’t I be here?” Li Yunhong said coldly, with a strange light under her eyes. “Look, it’s my house. You are not the member of Mo’s family. You won’t call the shots even if you marry Mo Yichen.”
Gu Yan was shocked by Li Yunhong, and she could not say a word. Gu Yan could not understand that why Li Yunhong thought that way. She just greeted her just now.
She never thought to be the host of Mo’s family. What’s more, she told Mo Yichen that she would not live in this safe house even if she married him. This house was just like a cage for her, locking out her freedom.
As for her, she just wanted to be with Mo Yichen and Mo Xiangyan, which was enough. Nothing else mattered to itself.
Li Yunhong sneered at Gu Yan, “What? Did I get you? I won’t be fooled by your innocent face even if you just pretended like a good girl in front of Yichen. Listen, take back the tricks. I’m not buying it.”
“Aunt, it was not what you think at all. I have never thought that way before.” Gu Yan interrupted Li Yunhong.
“What else?” Gu Yan’s worry and anxiety made Li Yunhong become more aggressive. “Say it. I give you the opportunity.”
Gu Yan pursed the lips and said seriously, “Aunt, I know you don’t like me at the first sight. I don’t know why. Maybe I come from a poor family, which is not match with Chen. Exactly, I agree with that. But you know what? We love each other.”
Gu Yan wanted to throw all her feelings in her deep heart to Li Yunhong, “Aunt, I swear to the heaven. I love Chen because he is a good man, instead of the reputation and wealth of Mo’s family. I won’t change my mind even if he goes broke.”
Li Yunhong sneered, “No wonder Qian said you were difficult to deal with. Now I got it. I almost believe you. It looks like you are really a good actor.”
“Go broke? It’s ridiculous. Mo’s family has money to burn. How could we be poor? Your hypothesis will never be true. You just picked the good part to say.”
Gu Yan said seriously, “Aunt, I know you don’t believe me. But you should know that I won’t leave Chen and Xiangyan, unless Chen asks me to do that. So, no matter how hard it is, I will stay with Chen. I won’t give up.”
