Chapter 7: Lady, please be responsible for me 05
Gu Rong was sitting in front of the computer playing games, jumping up and down excitedly, wanting to rush into the computer and kill everyone, but the phone next to him rang. Gu Rong looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from home. He didn't want to answer it, but because he was afraid of the majesty of his father, he took the risk of being scolded by his teammates and answered the call.
"Hello, Dad?" Gu Rong called cautiously.
"I am your mother."
Gu Rong instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, what's wrong?"
When Gu Rong sees his father, he always feels like a mouse seeing a cat, but he has a very good relationship with his mother, and the two can talk about anything.
"Son, I want to go see you. The plane ticket has been booked and I will arrive tomorrow afternoon." Gu's mother informed.
"Ah? What are you doing here? Didn't say I would be back before the Chinese New Year?" This year's Chinese New Year is later than in previous years, so Gu Rong decided to wait until before the New Year to go home. However, he didn't expect his mother to suddenly make a surprise inspection.
But Mother Gu said, "You keep talking to me about Su Jingjing. I want to go see her."
"You'll scare her. She's timid." Gu Rong lied.
Mother Gu said unhappily, "What are you afraid of? I'm not a tigress. Anyway, bring her here on the day of the airport pick-up, and we can have a meal together."
"Well... okay." Gu Rong gritted his teeth and agreed to his mother's request.
The next afternoon, Gu Rong dragged Su Jingjing to the airport, but even at the airport gate, Su Jingjing still looked for an opportunity to escape.
"Where are you going?" Gu Rong pulled Su Jingjing's collar and lifted her up using his height advantage.
Su Jingjing stood still, waving her arms and shouting, "I'm scared, I won't go!"
"What are you afraid of? My mother is very kind. Just think of it as a good deed and help the old lady cross the road." Gu Rong said shamelessly.
"Your mother is not an old lady, and she doesn't need my help."
"Metaphor, metaphor, don't you know?"
As he spoke, Gu Rong suddenly took off his sunglasses and called out, "Mom!"
Su Jingjing took the opportunity to push Gu Rong away and hurried forward, but was pulled back by Gu Rong again. Turning around, she saw a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes and bright appearance. The woman looked somewhat similar to Gu Rong, with exquisite makeup, and exuded a graceful temperament everywhere.
"Xiaorong." Mother Gu called softly with a gentle smile on her lips.
Gu Rong hugged his mother, then happily introduced Su Jingjing to her: "Mom, this is the Su Jingjing I mentioned to you."
Gu's mother shifted her gaze to Su Jingjing, and the look she gave her made Su Jingjing feel particularly uncomfortable, as if she were not a person but a commodity. Su Jingjing responded to Gu's mother's X-ray-like gaze woodenly, without moving.
"Speak." Gu Rong reminded in a low voice.
Su Jingjing's thoughts were still on what Gu Rong had just said, "Help the old lady cross the road," so she blurted out, "Hello, old lady."
Mother Gu immediately stopped smiling, and Gu Rong wished he could kill himself on the spot.
"Hello, Auntie." Gu Rong gritted his teeth and continued to remind her, then explained to his mother awkwardly, "Mom, I told you Jingjing is very shy."
"Aunt……"
Mother Gu interrupted Su Jingjing and said, "If you don't want to scream, don't force it."
Then, she looked at Gu Rong and changed the subject: "Xiao Rong, where are we going next?"
"The hotel has already made arrangements for you. Let's eat in the hotel restaurant." While Gu Rong was taking his mother's luggage, he held Su Jingjing's arm, afraid that she would leave his sight.
Su Jingjing kept her head down the whole way and said nothing.
Finally they arrived at the hotel. After Gu Rong helped Gu's mother put away her luggage, the three of them went to the restaurant for dinner.
"Mom, this is a gift Jingjing specially prepared for you. She heard that you were coming and prepared for a long time, so she was particularly nervous today." Gu Rong took out a box and placed it in front of his mother.
Gu's mother opened it and found a very delicate hair accessory inside. Although the hair accessory was not expensive, it was very delicate. Gu's mother liked it very much and smiled at Su Jingjing.
Su Jingjing looked at Gu Rong in surprise, because she didn't prepare any gifts for Gu's mother. She was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Rong. Gu Rong picked up food for Gu's mother and Su Jingjing as if nothing had happened. When he turned to Su Jingjing, he quietly shook his head at her.
"Um... Miss Su, right? How old are you?" Mother Gu put down her chopsticks after eating a few bites and asked.
Su Jingjing was concentrating on chewing the chicken leg. When she heard Gu's mother's question, she subconsciously put the chicken leg down and asked, "What?"
"She and I are of the same age, but a few months younger than me." Gu Rong answered for Su Jingjing.
"I didn't ask you." Mother Gu glanced at Gu Rong and asked Su Jingjing, "What do Miss Su's parents do?"
One of the table manners of the Su family is not to waste food. As the heir of the Su family, Su Jingjing has deeply inherited the good habits of the Su family. She stared at the chicken drumstick on the plate and said, "My father opened a martial arts school, and my mother passed away very early."
"Oh..." Mother Gu hesitated for a moment and fell silent.
Seeing this, Su Jingjing picked up the chicken leg again and started eating.
Gu Rong saw the look in his mother's eyes and felt a little uneasy. He had no choice but to secretly text Su Jingjing under the table: "Pour some wine for my mom."
When Su Jingjing heard her cell phone ring, she took it out and saw that the sender was Gu Rong. She immediately turned her head and asked, "Why are you texting me?"
Gu Rong's eyes widened, almost popping out of his head. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I don't have any. Did you input the wrong name?"
"Impossible!" Su Jingjing muttered to herself.
Facing the extremely stupid and infuriating Su Jingjing, Gu Rong wanted to run into a wall and die in the restaurant. Su Jingjing finally finished reading the text message, and her eyes first turned to Gu Rong, and then to Gu's mother. Gu's mother was a little surprised to see Su Jingjing looking at her. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her suddenly stand up and raise the bottle of wine. "Auntie, you drink." She said.
Just as Mother Gu was about to refuse, her arm accidentally touched Su Jingjing's arm. Su Jingjing's hand suddenly shook - all the wine that she had intended to pour into the glass spilled onto Mother Gu.
"Oh!" Gu's mother screamed.
Su Jingjing put down her wine glass and hurried to help Gu's mother wipe it, but she was so clumsy that she made things worse.
"No need." Mother Gu dodged Su Jingjing's hand and suppressed her anger and said to Gu Rong, "Xiao Rong , I'm going upstairs to change clothes. You and Miss Su eat first. When you're done, come upstairs to find me."
Gu's mother specifically emphasized "you" instead of "you all". Gu Rong knew what his mother meant and sighed in his heart.
Looking at Gu's mother's back, Su Jingjing rubbed her hands nervously and asked Gu Rong: "Did I make your mother unhappy? I'm sorry."
"It's okay, she doesn't blame you. It was just an accident today." Gu Rong comforted Su Jingjing, "She is not like this usually. Maybe she is too tired today."
"It's my fault..." Su Jingjing lowered her head in shame.
Seeing this, Gu Rong suddenly put his arm on Su Jingjing's shoulders and put his head close to her ears. The hot air made Su Jingjing's ears itchy.
"You really don't beat around the bush when you talk!" he said.
"I get really nervous around my elders." Su Jingjing said with a blushing face.
Gu Rong reached out and touched Su Jingjing's head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I will explain it to her."
"real?"
"Really." Gu Rong said seriously, "Because Su Jingjing deserves to be loved by everyone in the world."
