Mrs Xu's eyes suddenly turned indignant, ”Suddenly one day, the Madam received a call. The person who called was the current mistress.”
Xin Nianyin's heart trembled. So her mother-in-law was a woman who could make people's hearts ache for her.
Mrs Xu steadied herself for a moment, then said, ”I still remember that day, not knowing what was said on the phone, the Madam's face turned pale, and she rushed out, telling me to take good care of Third Young Master and the young lady.”
”Later on, the Madam never returned. They said that she was in a car accident and died on the spot …”
Mrs Xu let out a sob, ”Later on, the Gu family was thrown into chaos. Old Master said that the family needed a mistress, so he wanted Xu Yi to enter naturally.”
”As soon as Madam's funeral was over, Lady Xu Yi went to live in Madam and Master's bedroom. Afterwards, the Young Master was sent abroad. Miss Ai was left by Master because she was young.”
Taking a deep breath, Mrs Xu shook her head helplessly, ”And Second Young Master followed Xu Yi and came to live together with her. You already know what happened afterwards.”
After Mrs Xu finished speaking, her eyes looked up at the sky, as if she was reminiscing about those days.
Xin Nianyin was stunned. She didn't know that the Gu family had such a rugged past.
She also understood why Mrs Xu wanted her to be so careful. She was only doing this because she was worried that she would get hurt.
”Mrs Xu, thank you for telling me all this. In the past, I've heard people talk about the feud and grudges of the Wealthy Class. There's no end to it, no end to it. Now it seems that it's true.”
She suddenly wanted to visit her mother-in-law's grave. There were many things that Mrs Xu could guess, even though she didn't say them explicitly.
After all, his uncle's death, his mother-in-law's death, and his elder brother's death all did not seem like a normal death. It was more like a game of chess that had been planned.
”That's right!” Young madam, this old woman should not have told you about these matters, but I truly do not have the heart to see what happened to you, Lady Bu. ”
When Mrs Xu spoke of Bai Qing's beauty, her eyes were always filled with tears. It could be seen that even when she was alive, she must have treated her underlings extremely well.
”Thank you Mrs Xu, no, these things, do you know?”
This was the most curious question for Xin Nianyin. After all, she was her birth mother. If she knew about this, she would definitely feel very upset.
She suddenly felt sorry for him.
”By the time Madam left, the young master had already become sensible, but Miss is still a child and doesn't know about it. Young Madam, I beg you, please don't tell anyone about this.”
If these things were to be leaked out, she might lose her job, but as for the young mistress, she might not be safe.
”Don't worry Mrs Xu, I still know what I should say and shouldn't say.” Xin Xuanyin gave Mrs Xu a reassured look. Only then did Mrs Xu relax.
”Alright, then young madam, you rest first. I'll be going now.” As Mrs Xu said this, she picked up the kettle on the table and took off.
Xin Nianyin smiled and nodded. After Mrs Xu left, she fell into deep thought.
She had always felt that Gu Bo was not easy to get along with, that he was arrogant and had a bad temper.
Now that he thought about it, wasn't he just as pitiful as himself? Being sent abroad at such a young age, how hard would it be for him to live his life abroad alone?
He didn't know how long he sat there, but when Gu Bo came back, Xin Nianyin didn't even notice.
Ever since she had returned from the maternity exam with Xin Nianyin, Gu Jianming's work efficiency had been abnormally low. In fact, her face had even appeared inexplicably in his mind while he was reviewing the documents.
In the end, he decided to just go home without working. However, when he returned home, he was shocked to see her crying at the window.
”Nian Yin, what happened?” Did someone embarrass you? ”
Xin Nianyin heard Gu Yingming's voice and turned to look at him. All the heartache she felt rose in her heart.
In the next second, he didn't care about the tears and snot on his clothes. He hugged Gu Bo's waist and started sobbing.
