Mistakenly Took a Crazy-Beautiful, Baiting Omega for My Wife 78

Chapter 78

Su Guan had no time to look at this mother and daughter. Fang Jinyue had walked up to her.

“Daughter, are you going back?” Fang Jinyue asked her, her tone sorrowful, her eyes full of reluctance.

Su Guan’s heart suddenly ached. She was not deaf. Just now, her mom had argued with Su Yaying and Wen Zhouqin for her. Although she hadn’t heard the whole thing, she roughly knew the situation.

Su Guan took a deep breath, naturally took Fang Jinyue’s hand, and said, “Yes, Mom. I’m going back first. This doesn’t seem to be my home anymore.”

But Fang Jinyue held her hand even tighter, and in return, she pulled Su Guan into her arms and said sorrowfully, “Silly child, silly child! Mom won’t allow you to say such things! Before you got married, didn’t Mom tell you? No matter what happens, Mom will always be your safe harbor, and you can always find Mom. There will never be an exception.”

She held Su Guan tightly, her tone tragic.

“Mom knows it’s not easy for you, knows you don’t like her,” Fang Jinyue straightened her face, her gaze shifting back. “But you mustn’t hold a grudge against your mother.”

Su Guan’s heart suddenly grew a little colder.

To what extent would it take for her mom to recognize the truth? Now she was still telling her not to hold a grudge against Su Yaying!

Su Guan frowned, held back the tears that were welling up, and said, “Mom, I could have not held a grudge.”

A smile appeared on Fang Jinyue’s face, her eyes shining with anticipation, her lips parting, as if she were about to utter words of praise.

However, that was not the case.

“But you, you should hold a grudge,” Su Guan broke free from Fang Jinyue’s grip and looked at her. “I’m not staying today.”

With that, Su Guan insisted on leaving.

Fang Jinyue stood there, staring blankly at Su Guan’s retreating figure. She knew, she knew her daughter was leaving her.

She didn’t take a step, and she was too lazy to turn back—the two people behind her seemed to be chatting even more harmoniously.

Then let it be.

…

Su Guan was sullen when she got home. Gu Yixi could see it at a glance.

Susu ran to her feet and tried its best, but it couldn’t make Su Guan smile.

Su Guan couldn’t smile at dinner either, her mouth in a pout.

“Why do you look so unhappy tonight?” Gu Yixi put down her chopsticks, her expression extremely serious. “Am I right?”

Only then did Su Guan lift her gaze and say slowly, “Well, I did run into something not so happy.”

She and Gu Yixi had now reached this stage of honesty.

No hiding.

Except for what the system had told her that day—the battle-hardened system seemed to be very experienced, saying with great conviction that Gu Yixi must have some other agenda for being so good to her.

Su Guan had originally thought so too. Now, even though she didn’t think so, this matter would still be a thorn in her side.

This was the only thing hidden from complete honesty. Su Guan hadn’t told Gu Yixi.

What she was going to tell Gu Yixi today was something else.

Gu Yixi raised an eyebrow, her lips moved, but she didn’t answer her as Su Guan had expected.

“Is that so? Then we’re truly a wife and wife,” Gu Yixi said with great conviction, picking up her chopsticks again, and at the same time, she glanced at Su Guan’s reaction from the corner of her eye. “But it seems I’m a little better.”

Su Guan looked up in surprise.

Gu Yixi’s whole face had fallen, her eyes drooping, and her lips also drooping, a picture of extreme dejection.

What was wrong now?

Su Guan was stunned and asked her, “Then… what happened to you?”

Her heart skipped a beat.

In terms of impact, for a person like Gu Yixi who talked about millions of dollars in business in a minute, what could make her unhappy was definitely not a small matter.

Although her own matter was suffocating, Su Yaying and Wen Zhouqin had been disgusting for more than a day or two. She could still bear it.
—Speaking of which, she hadn’t heard Gu Yixi talk about any difficulties at work these past few days. Of course, she might have deliberately not told her.

Seeing Su Guan’s concerned gaze, Gu Yixi didn’t say anything else, just lowered her head, her chopsticks pausing from time to time, making a strange sound, but she didn’t reply to Su Guan’s words.

A crisp sound.

Su Guan’s heart also pounded: what had happened?

“So, what is it?” Su Guan thought for a moment and still couldn’t help but ask again.

“A big matter,” Gu Yixi said with great conviction, as if she had used a lot of effort to stop her movements, and slowly looked up, her eyes extremely serious and solemn as she looked at Su Guan. “A big matter that makes one uneasy.”

The severity had reached a level that Su Guan had never heard of. This made Su Guan shiver. She even put down her chopsticks and put on a cautious expression, asking, “What big matter?”

However, Gu Yixi still didn’t bother with her, just looked at her, but didn’t speak.

Su Guan grew more and more nervous, swallowing. “Is it very serious?”

Gu Yixi didn’t say anything.

It was rare for the two of them to have such a dull atmosphere: compared to the awkwardness of their first meeting, the interception of her car before the wedding… and so on, Su Guan had never felt so awkward.

Su Guan’s heart was about to jump out of her throat.

“Can I help?” Su Guan still asked cautiously.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten what had happened at the Su family’s house. Actually, those were small matters. What was important was Gu Yixi.

“…You can,” Gu Yixi nodded, agreeing.

Su Guan took a deep breath. “So, what is it?”
“Well, you’ve run into something unhappy,” Gu Yixi’s tone suddenly became light, and a light leaped in her bright eyes.

This sentence was indeed from the heart.

Su Guan gave a surprised “ah” and looked at Gu Yixi with confusion, only to see the curve of the latter’s lips grow higher and higher.

So much so that in the end, she could barely hold it in.

Su Guan fell into a brief silence.

A woman who made millions in a minute was so willing to waste time with her, to tease her?

“Gu Yixi, are you very bored?” Su Guan muttered. “Why are you playing such tricks?”

That was what she said, but Su Guan still smiled.

Before, because she was worried that Gu Yixi had gotten into some trouble, Su Guan had forgotten to be angry at Su Yaying and Wen Zhouqin. Now, being teased by Gu Yixi’s low-level tricks, her heart had long since forgotten what anger was. All that was left was a bubble of joy that was about to overflow.

Like a needle that could never be found to pop it.

“Where am I bored?”
“Isn’t it boring to play such tricks?”

Gu Yixi had now picked up her chopsticks again, her tone light. “Well, at least there are tricks. Who else would do this? So thoughtful.”

Su Guan pouted. “I hope you say the same thing when your heat comes.”
“I don’t need a suppressor,” Gu Yixi changed the subject. After a moment, she seemed to feel that she should be honest and said in a low voice, but loud enough for Su Guan to hear clearly, “Isn’t there still someone?”

Perhaps because she had done something bad, Gu Yixi now felt that the word “you” was hot on her tongue. The two of them laughed at the same time and brushed over the topic.

But Gu Yixi still hadn’t forgotten the main business.

“Today you went home. Did someone make you unhappy?”
Su Guan’s eyes narrowed, and she nodded.

Now she had found her chance.

…

“Achoo!” Wen Zhouqin sneezed, wrapped the blanket tighter, and wondered if there was a problem with the air conditioner tonight.

In the past, the air conditioner in her room had always been at this high temperature, and it had always been on. Why was there a problem today?

Was the floor heating broken? It made her feel uncomfortable even when she was playing on her phone.

Just as she was boredly opening her social media feed, wanting to see if any of her sycophantic friends would take her out to play, a call came from an unknown number.

The moment she saw the call, Wen Zhouqin’s face turned pale, but she quickly calmed down and answered the phone. “You… hello.”

Although she was alone in the room, and the room was empty and spacious, with no one nearby, Wen Zhouqin still sat up straight and answered the phone very seriously.

“I’ve been doing well these past few days,” she said.

“Please rest assured, I haven’t forgotten your kindness to me. It’s good to be at the Su family’s house, but my mother’s kindness to me is different, different from yours. You can rest assured, I won’t have any other thoughts.”

The other end of the line seemed to be satisfied with her attitude and warned her a few more times.

Wen Zhouqin nodded unconsciously. “Yes, yes, I’ll remember everything. Next week, next week I’ll put it on the agenda! I promise I won’t disappoint you. Mother is very satisfied with me now. I think changing my surname is just a matter of time, and I don’t think I necessarily need to change my surname…”

When it came to her familiar territory, Wen Zhouqin’s words suddenly became more.

But the person on the other end of the line seemed to have run out of patience—or rather, had no patience to listen to Wen Zhouqin at all.

“Don’t talk about these things first,” that person said. “You don’t have to change your surname. You’re already so old. Isn’t it very troublesome to change your surname?”

Wen Zhouqin still wanted to explain. “It’s fine. Mother has already mentioned it to me. If I want to change it…”
“No need to change,” the person on the other end said firmly, with a kind of authority that made Wen Zhouqin not say any more.

With no other choice, Wen Zhouqin could only shut her mouth, stammering a few words, and then ended the conversation.

Finally, the call ended. It hadn’t been long, just three or five minutes, but Wen Zhouqin was already drenched in sweat.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her hand holding the phone was also covered in sweat.

She had just been so cold that she thought the floor heating was broken, but now she felt as if she had been roasted in a whole summer, the kind that was already cooked.

There was no other way.

Whatever the big boss told her to do, she could only do it.

Remember to take your medicine on time. This was the big boss’s instruction to her.

The Su family held many companies, but they had started out in biopharmaceuticals. On this point, Wen Zhouqin had to be particularly careful.

Taking pills and injecting medicine was a task Wen Zhouqin had to complete every week.

She endured the sore throat and did as she was told. There was no other way. Who told her to meet the big boss before her mother had found her?
