When Madame Zhao heard Gu Linxi's words, she looked at him in disbelief. In comparison to Gu Lingxi, Mrs Zhao was clearly more willing to believe in Zhao Haoyu and Zhu Yitong. Although Zhu Yitong wasn't related to him by blood, she had pretty much watched him grow up. Zhu Yitong was a pure and kind girl.

How could such a girl be related to Zhao Haoyu in any way? Even though they were not related by blood, they were cousins by law. How could such a sensible child like Zhu Yi Tong have any unclear relationship with Hao Yu? Madam Zhao's impression of Gu Lin Xi immediately dropped to zero. Originally, her first impression of him had been pretty good, but now …

Madame Zhao wasn't satisfied with the way Gu Linxi spoke behind her back. Furthermore, her words were definitely slander. After packing her bag, Mrs. Zhao calmed down. She could not show her dissatisfaction. After all, she had lived for dozens of years.

After boiling another pot of hot water, Gu Linxi didn't think that Mrs Zhao would believe her words immediately. Honestly speaking, if this matter had happened to her, she wouldn't easily believe an outsider either. Moreover, she had once thought that Zhu Yi Tong was a very kind and cute girl, but reality had made her feel especially surprised.

”Although you are a guest, if Mrs Zhao has nothing else to say, please …” Gu Linxi raised the cup of tea in her hand and indicated to Mrs Zhao that she wasn't very welcoming of Mrs Zhao, even though this Mrs Zhao didn't have any intention of making things difficult for her from the very start. However, just like what Gu Linxi and Mrs Zhao had said, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, nor did she want to have anything to do with Zhao Haoyu.

When Mrs Zhao saw that Gu Linxi's actions matched up to what Gu Linxi had said, she understood why Gu Linxi wanted to see her off. However, she had yet to state the purpose of her visit and could not leave for the time being. Thinking of how her son was still waiting for her to save him, Mrs Zhao didn't care about her pride anymore. She pretended that she didn't know Gu Lingxi's intentions and stayed behind.

”Mrs. Zhao is a smart person. I think you know what I mean.” Seeing that Mrs Zhao didn't cooperate, Gu Linxi was slightly unhappy in her heart. At the same time, she was also certain that something extraordinary had happened to Zhao Haoyu, which was why she'd allowed her mother to do things to such an extent. She didn't pay any heed to the thoughts of others as they chased after him. Gu Linxi didn't think that this was Mrs Zhao's usual style of doing things.

”I want you to save Haoyu.” In the end, Mrs Zhao could not help but reveal her purpose for coming. However, this was something that would have to be said sooner or later. It was just that he'd been too hasty in saying it because of Gu Linxi's urging.

Gu Linxi raised an eyebrow. He couldn't help but wonder if her hearing had dropped recently. Mrs Zhao had asked her to go and get Zhao Haoyu? How is this possible? She wasn't a doctor, so how could she possibly save Zhao Haoyu? Gu Linxi shook her head and said, ”He's sick?”

If she was sick, she should go to the hospital and see a doctor. What was the use of finding her? However, when he thought of Zhao Haoyu's desperate state, he couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. Other than the fact that Zhao Haoyu's private life was a mess, he felt quite comfortable getting along with this person.

”No.” Mrs. Zhao didn't know what to say. It was a complicated thing to say.
