Fang glanced towards the living roo her expression, then said quietly, ”Madam's been in a bad mood all afternoon and didn't eato in, please don't talk back to her tootelevision Although she seemed to be her usual self on the surface, Xie Yu could tell froht would be a difficult one to pass

The TV was showing a clichéd dra, terrible plot The male lead twisted his features to show his pain ”I love you, but I love her too… I really don't knohat to do You and she are the two most important women in my life”

Xie Yu walked over: ”Mo

The only response was the sound of the s

”I' TV dra, I shouldn't have left without saying anything”

”Shouldn't have left without saying anything” Gu Xuelan turned off the TV, then slapped the re ”What, were you going to proudly walk out the front door? Xie Yu, I told you before During this vacation, I want you to stay hoo to those sketchy places Your ht now is to study”

”Moht to decide how I spend my vacation”

When you're of age, then talk to hts I didn't raise you to let you dally about all day, eating and passing ti for death All you do all day is run around outside Have you thought about your future? You're still young The things you can't think about, Moh self-control and if you can't do so, then Mom will make the effort to watch over you and do it In the end, it's still my fault, is it?”

Xie Yu was silent

”You're saying that just to keep me quiet What plans do you have? If you really have plans, your grades wouldn't be like this Tsinghua, Peking U… you're drea” Gu Xuelan's chest was so heavy it hurt

Since aardly seeing Mr Huang off this , she had experienced many emotions Now that Xie Yu was in front of her, with no consternation and not feeling at all that he had done anything wrong, all her feelings welled up at once ”Who did you learn from to become like this? Zhou Dalei? Xu Yanmei? You want to be like those people from Black Water Street, do you?!”

Xie Yu had intended to bow and adood-tery After all, today's incident was indeed his fault If she really wanted him to cooperate with the tutor and study at home all vacation, then he would study

But she was currently angry and had no way of backing down

The two faced off in silence

”Dinner is in the kitchen If you're hungry, go and eat” Gu Xuelan's attitude softened some and helplessness enveloped her completely

After Gu Xuelan went upstairs, Xie Yu went to the kitchen and poured hi with tog had been fried to a golden brown, a light dusting of spring onion flakes sprinkled on top

Madam Gu had made it herself

He didn't need to taste it, he could tell at a glance

Xie Yu suddenly felt that what he had done today was really very dastardly

The night deepened and the big house grew silent again

Xie Yu showered, then remembered his phone was still set to airplane es flooded in at once: a seees fro where he was and saying not to let his teo home quick, your mom is very worried
