C38 (1/2)

Chapter 38 - Her Mother

In the elevator, Yi Yun Chu was dressed in a black dress, the dark color giving off a serious feeling.

Although she was already middle-aged, she was still well maintained. Her skin was white and her features were exquisite. There was not a single wrinkle on her face, as if time could not leave a mark on her face.

It was just that at that moment, Yi Yun Chu's face did not have a good expression.

Gu Yun Qi seemed to have long gotten used to her expression.

However, he had his eyes lowered the entire time, and didn't look straight into her eyes.

How long has it been?

It had been a year since he had returned to the country, and he hadn't even seen her once.

He had not seen them for several years.

It was as if his face had disappeared from Gu Yun Qi's life after separating from his father.

Now that he suddenly saw it, Gu Yun Qi didn't even know how to communicate with them. In the end, he could only form a single word to describe them.

”Mom …”

The relationship between Gu Yun Qi and her mother was never considered good, and there were even... Very poor, to say the least.

Her parents divorced when she was three. Her memories of what happened before she was three years old were completely blurry.

Therefore, he had only vaguely heard a few stories about his parents from his family.

It was only because of Grandfather that Yi Yun Chu became a taboo topic within the family, and no one dared to bring it up.

Ever since she had regained her memories, the mama had always been very good to her. The maternal love she had tasted in her memories didn't have any relationship with Yi Yun Chu at all, rather, it was something that she had experienced from him.

For some unknown reason, every time he faced Yi Yun Chu, Gu Yun Qi would always feel that he was a little unfamiliar and a little timid.

Yi Yun Chu did not get out of the elevator. Instead, he looked at Gu Yun Qi quietly for a moment before he pressed on the button to open the door.

Gu Yun Qi was a little hesitant, did she want to go in or not?

If they entered, it would become a confined space for the mother and daughter …

She never knew how to get along with Yi Yun Chu.

”Not coming in?”

Yi Yun Chu said indifferently, his voice was cold and thin, without any kind of warmth.

Gu Yun Qi's heart skipped a beat, after hesitating for a moment, she walked into the elevator.

”Your dad called me.”

The elevator door slowly closed. Yi Yun Chu opened his mouth and said this single sentence, his voice still cold and indifferent.

”Because I couldn't find you, I was worried that you would come to my place and ask if I had received any calls from you.”

Yi Yun Chu glanced at Gu Yun Qi.

Facing this daughter, Yi Yun Chu actually didn't have much feelings for her.

Her expression was cold as she said, ”What? At twenty-six, he even learned to run away from home? ”Still young?”

The moment he opened his mouth, it was akin to a scolding sentence.

Gu Yun Qi pursed her lips tightly. She didn't make a sound, but her heart was in pain.

Although she had never expected anything to happen with Yi Yun Chu, hearing such cold words from him that didn't have any warmth left her feeling uncomfortable and cold.

”Since you're already here, let's have lunch together. Tell me, what happened? At the age of twenty-six, you learned how to run away from home. What opportunity is this?”

The elevator reached the first floor. Ding! The door opened.

Gu Yun Qi followed behind Yi Yun Chu, and from start to end, she did not utter a single word.

With a slightly pale face, he walked outside.
