GTGV Chapter 29.6

So, after chatting for a while, the mother and daughter naturally mentioned Xie Jinqiu.

“By the way, Chuchu.” Tan Qingzhu asked gently, “How is your relationship with Jinqiu?”

Ning Chuchu blurted out: “Just barely tolerable.”

Tan Qingzhu: “…???”

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Oops!

When she was in front of her mother, she always emphasized that she had a very good relationship with Xie Jinqiu and that she loved Xie Jinqiu very much.

But now she accidentally let it slip…

If Tan Qingzhu knew that she had no feelings for Xie Jinqiu, she might want them to break off their engagement!

Previously, when the old patriarch of the Xie family proposed a marriage, Tan Qingzhu refused. She always respected her daughter’s opinion, so naturally, she couldn’t arrange a marriage for her.

After Ning Chuchu learned about Xie Jinqiu’s family background, she moved and took the initiative to tell Tan Qingzhu that she liked Xie Jinqiu and wanted to get married to him.

Only then did Tan Qingzhu agree to the engagement.

Ning Chuchu rubbed her brows with a headache and tried to save the situation: “Ahem… I mean, Xie Jinqiu is handsome, has a good family background, and is a very good marriage partner. I am very satisfied.”

There was no way. She could only tell the truth now.

She wanted to tell Tan Qingzhu that she liked Xie Jinqiu, but she couldn’t do it. She could only praise Xie Jinqiu from the side to express her satisfaction with this fiancé.

Tan Qingzhu was silent for a moment and asked back: “Is it just because he is a good marriage partner?”

Tan Qingzhu hit the nail on the head. To put it more bluntly, she hadn’t asked yet: Was she engaged to Xie Jinqiu just because he was suitable, not because she liked him?

Ning Chuchu understood the underlying meaning of her words and fell silent for a moment.

She knew the answer to this question very well, but she couldn’t say it in front of Tan Qingzhu.

No matter what, now, she still needed this marriage partner.

“Alas, Chuchu…” Tan Qingzhu sighed softly, with undisguised love and concern in her tone.

“Mom!” Ning Chuchu interrupted her quickly and forced a smile, “Remember to bring me a gift when you come back from abroad.”

She knew what her mother wanted to say. It was nothing more than persuading her to let go of her obsession and look forward.

But, Ning Chuchu couldn’t let go nor did she want to let go.

Ning Guangzhong, Yun Shu, and Yun Yirou…

They teamed up to destroy her childhood and create a nightmare in her life.

She must make them pay the price!

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Tan Qingzhu’s gentle and helpless voice came, “Okay.”

The mother and daughter tacitly skipped this topic.

“…By the way, Aunt Gu called me the day before yesterday and asked when I was back in China and that she wanted to meet.” Tan Qingzhu said.

“Aunt Gu?” Ning Chuchu thought for a moment and agreed readily, “Okay.”

The ‘Aunt Gu’ mentioned by Tan Qingzhu was Xie Jinqiu’s mother and also the Madam of the Xie family. She had a very good relationship with Tan Qingzhu, and she had taken good care of her future daughter-in-law. It was only right for her to get together with such an elder.

“I will contact Aunt Gu in two days…” Ning Chuchu said and suddenly stopped.

Her expression was stunned for a moment, and then she murmured: “Aunt Gu… Gu?”

“Mom!”

Ning Chuchu asked anxiously, “Is Xie Jinqiu’s mother’s surname Gu?”

Tan Qingzhu: “…” What was wrong with this child? Stupid?

Ning Chuchu suddenly had a sudden enlightenment: “I seem to know who Gu Yunfei is!”
