No.032 hiding
His mother turned around and looked at him leaning against the seat of the chair with an expressionless face. She simply didn't say anything. The quiet atmosphere was still filled with embarrassment. 1
Along the way, Gu Monan just sat quietly and didn't move. All he could hear was the whirring sound of the car speeding along the road from the open window.
The car stopped at the door. Gu Monan got out of the car, she saw her sister Gu Xiaoxiao standing on tiptoe to guard the door. She was looking at something. When she saw Gu Monan, her eyes lit up.
She didn't notice that Gu Monan look was n' t right. She asked directly, her tone filled with excitement." Brother, have you seen Sister-in-law?" "Isn't it pretty?"
Gu Monan didn't say anything but his face darkened. He looked up and glared at Gu Xiaoxiao. He did n' t say anything and walked straight into the room.
Gu Xiaoxiao only felt that the atmosphere was not right. Looking at Gu Monan figure disappearing into the distance, she was puzzled. He couldn't help but ask his mother.
She turned around and hurried to the door to help her mother out of the car.
Her face didn't look good either. No matter how much maintenance she had, she could n' t hide the wrinkles on her forehead. She looked as if she had aged a lot in an instant. Gu Xiaoxiao felt very distressed.
"Mom, what's wrong with Brother?"
Gu Xiaoxiao supported his mother and asked.
However, her mother was slightly taken aback. Her face was a little heavy, as if she didn't want to speak.
"Your brother..." His mother paused for a moment and glanced at the open door before continuing," Your brother said that he still has something to do, so he went back first." Obviously, this excuse was far-fetched and Gu Xiaoxiao didn't believe it.
"Mom, then my brother... "Have you seen Sister-in-law?"
Gu Xiaoxiao held her mother's arm, unable to suppress her curiosity.
Speaking of which, Sister-in-law was so beautiful that even she couldn't help but be envious. She did n' t believe that her brother wouldn't be tempted?
His mother glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao and held her hand before continuing," I see you." However... "Your brother seems to be in a bad mood."
Not in a good mood? Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand.
"Then what about the end? "Has this marriage been completed?" Obviously, she was still most concerned about the outcome.
It was supposed to be a happy occasion for the family. But now, everyone was in a bad mood. Only Gu Xiaoxiao was left in the dark.
However, her mother did not seem to be willing to reveal too much. She only sighed and said indifferently," Yes, yes, yes." "Even if your brother isn't willing, it would n' t be easy for me to explain to him."
She had helped this matter. Although she was the mother, she still had to consider Gu Monan feelings. If he didn't agree, he would n' t be able to force him.
Gu Xiaoxiao seemed a little unhappy when she heard this. She sat next to her mother and picked up an apple on the table and started eating it. As he ate, he followed his mother's advice and said," Mom, you think my brother really is! "Why are you so stupid?"
As a younger sister, she really couldn't stand it anymore. The man was rich and powerful, and he was beautiful. How could he find such a condition? Brother, he was still unwilling?
"Mom, how about I persuade him again?" Gu Xiaoxiao put down the apple in his hand and got up to go upstairs, but his mother stopped him.
"Stop!" "No way!" His mother sat on the sofa and ordered.
"Don't disturb him. Let him think about it." Her mother sighed and her attitude instantly eased up.
Since things had reached this point, he was unwilling to do so. There was probably no other way. She didn't want to force him, but seeing that he was n' t too young, she secretly worried for him.
Gu Xiaoxiao saw her mother's persistence and did n' t say anything. She got up and went back to her room.
At the dinner table, Gu Monan was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, where's your brother?" His mother put the food on the table and asked Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment before casually replying," I don't know either. Maybe it's in the room."
Mother turned around and went to the kitchen. She placed a pot of tomato and egg soup on the table and instructed Gu Xiaoxiao," Hurry up and tell your brother to go downstairs for dinner."
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the sumptuous dinner and started drooling. After a long while, she reluctantly went upstairs and knocked on Gu Monan door.
After knocking for a long time, there was no movement inside. It was silent. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention and shouted," Brother, we' re downstairs for dinner. We're all waiting for you."
After two or three consecutive calls, there was still no movement. Just as she was about to open the door, a familiar voice came from the room. It seemed to have some anger," Don't bother me if you do n' t eat!"
How could he be in the mood to eat? He was so angry that he was full. Gu Monan stayed in the room for an entire afternoon. No one was seen.
When the mother downstairs heard the commotion, she ordered Gu Xiaoxiao to ignore him and come down to eat. The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. His father, who had just returned from work, felt that the atmosphere at home wasn't right. He put down his bag and asked," What happened?" Why didn't he eat? Gu Monan Where's the person?"
"Dad, my brother..." Gu Xiaoxiao was about to speak when his mother interrupted him.
"Hey, didn't you say you were hungry just now?" "Hurry up and eat!" She winked at Gu Xiaoxiao, signaling for her to stop talking. Gu Xiaoxiao could tell that he didn't know about this.
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded and sat at the table. Then, he began to eat.
"Are you hiding something from me?" The atmosphere at home today was indeed bad.
Hearing his words, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say much this time. Instead, his mother explained," Father, what can happen in this family?" "Don't be suspicious."
When her mother said this, she lowered her head in embarrassment and felt a little guilty.
Looking at their hesitant expressions, his father was furious.
"Why can't you tell me what happened at home?" "Are you guys putting me in your eyes?"
He raised his head and glared at the Gu Xiaoxiao who was busy eating. He said coldly," Hey, come on!"
This sentence was so dignified that Gu Xiaoxiao hand trembled in fear and the chopsticks fell on the table.
She glanced at her mother and knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. She said in a trembling voice," Yes... Our distant relative's daughter, and my brother... "We're engaged." The last three words were Gu Xiaoxiao said with great courage.
She was afraid, afraid that her father would be angry. If she were to slap her, she would suffer.
However, his father only had a cold face and didn't lose his temper. The words he spat out seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth." Whose idea was it?"
He hadn't figured out the matter yet, so of course he would n' t get angry easily.
