Chapter 516 - Chapter 516 Chapter 514 Mother and Daughter Reunion

Chapter 516: Chapter 514: Mother and Daughter Reunion Chapter 516: Chapter 514: Mother and Daughter Reunion “Mommy, Beautiful Grandma told me it’s time for dinner, so I’m not going to talk to you now, okay?”

“Baby, you…”

Ming Yao watched the call end, a twinge of pain at her temples.

This girl!

Ming Yao did not notice that a tall and imposing figure was standing not far away, staring at her for quite a while.

The word “baby” had fallen into the man’s ears.

Even though her back was to him, the tenderness in her voice when she called “baby” was evident to anyone listening, showing how much she cherished and cared about her little one.

It seemed that, over the years, she really had started a new life and even had a precious one who meant a lot to her.

Ming Yao put her phone back in her bag, suddenly feeling that something was amiss.

It felt like someone was watching her.

Ming Yao turned around and was startled to see the man who had appeared behind her at some point.

He didn’t hear her conversation with Little Orange, did he?

Ming Yao thought back on the content of her talk with Little Orange, and it didn’t seem there was anything inappropriate about it.

When the man saw her looking at him, he quickly averted his gaze.

With one hand in his trouser pocket, he strode forward.

As he walked past Ming Yao, he did not give her another glance, treating her as a complete stranger.

Ming Yao watched the man’s retreating figure, dressed in the clothes she had taken to him earlier: a white shirt and black trousers, a classic combination that exuded understated luxury.

Compared to four years ago, his aura seemed even more formidable, deep, chilly, and stern.

What he had become was no longer her concern.

He was now the exalted President, and she was merely an ordinary citizen.

A gap as vast as that between clouds and mud.

Putting aside the disparity in status, he now also had a wife as beautiful as a flower and as elegant as jade.

Ming Yao shifted her gaze away from Gu Siting’s figure, and after a short wait, the head of the design department came to receive her.

After leaving the Presidential Residence, Ming Yao drove to the Gu Family Old Mansion.

If her guess was correct, the Great Grandma and Beautiful Grandma that Little Orange referred to must have been Old Madam Gu and Song Yulan!

Before heading there, Ming Yao stopped at a shopping mall to buy many gifts.

She parked her car in front of the Gu Family Old Mansion but did not drive straight in.

Returning here after four years, her heart was filled with numerous emotions.

Thinking about what had happened at the Presidential Residence, Ming Yao felt a bit upset and confused.

She didn’t understand why Gu Siting had suddenly called her to take his measurements?

What exactly was he trying to test?

And there was the kiss mark beneath Dai Na’s collarbone…

Their marital life must be quite harmonious, right?

Ming Yao took a lady’s cigarette from her bag. She didn’t smoke often, but she would occasionally light one when feeling agitated.

Bent over to light it, Ming Yao squinted her beautiful eyes and softly exhaled a puff of smoke.

…

Gu Yanyu had recently been going straight back to the Gu Family Old Mansion after work.

Strangely enough, not only did he not dislike Song Yulan when he first met her, but he also felt a closeness to her.

Song Yulan and Song Yuzhi had completely different personalities. Even after learning he was the biological son of the nanny who had once abused Gu Siting, she didn’t blame him.

With Song Yulan, Gu Yanyu experienced the warmth of family affection he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Old Madam Gu had not been very fond of Gu Yanyu in the past, but over the years, their relationship had gradually warmed.

Gu Siting, busy with official duties, provided Gu Yanyu with more time to spend with the ladies.

One reason Gu Siting was able to set aside past grudges with Gu Yanyu was that he could take his place accompanying Old Madam Gu and Song Yulan.

As Gu Yanyu was about to drive into the Gu Residence, he suddenly spotted an unfamiliar sedan parked at the gate.

Gu Yanyu drove over and rolled down the window to take a look.

The car’s window was wide open, and inside sat a slender figure. The woman tilted her head back slightly, puffing clouds of smoke. Her beautiful eyes squinted through the pale blue smoke, appearing languid and alluring with a touch of decayed loneliness.

Gu Yanyu took several looks before he recognized her — it was Ming Yao, who hadn’t appeared in the capital for four years!

“Ming Yao?”

Hearing someone call her, Ming Yao snapped out of her daze.

She looked towards the handsome man in the car beside her and raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, “Gu Yanyu.”

Gu Yanyu nodded, “It’s me. What are you doing here?”

Suddenly remembering that before leaving the capital, Ming Yao had spent some time with Aunt Lhan, he had an epiphany, “Are you here to see Aunt Lhan?”

Ming Yao’s lips curved up slightly, “Something like that!”

“Why don’t you go in? Aunt Lhan misses you. Even though Fourth Brother married Dai Na, you and Aunt Lhan have no grudges or hatred. You can freely visit her.”

Ming Yao, “…”

“I’m going in first, you should hurry in too!”

As soon as Gu Yanyu entered the Gu Residence, he began to bellow out that Ming Yao had arrived.

Little Orange was in the midst of enjoying the dessert made by Beautiful Grandma when suddenly she heard that her mommy was coming. Startled, she dropped her spoon on the floor.

Song Yulan touched Little Orange’s head, “What’s wrong, did Uncle Yanyu’s loud voice scare you?”

No sooner had Song Yulan finished speaking when she thought of Gu Yanyu’s words, she immediately stood up from her chair.

“Little Orange, Grandma is going out to meet a very important person.”

Old Madam Gu also heard Gu Yanyu’s shouting from her room and came out leaning on her cane, “Yaoyao has come?”

Gu Yanyu nodded, “Yes, Aunt Lhan has already gone out to meet her.”

As Gu Yanyu approached Little Orange, he stretched out his long arm, intending to hug the Little Pink Bun into his embrace, but the Little Pink Bun wriggled out from under his arm.

Watching Little Orange scurry away, Gu Yanyu asked puzzled, “Little cutie, where are you going?”

“I’m going to find Beautiful Grandma.”

Gu Yanyu, “…”

Just as Ming Yao was taking things out of her car’s trunk, Song Yulan and Old Madam Gu came out one after the other.

Seeing Ming Yao for the first time in four years, both Song Yulan and Old Madam Gu’s eyes filled with tears of excitement and joy.

“Yaoyao!”

Song Yulan stepped forward and held Ming Yao in a tight embrace.

“You child, it’s been four years since you left!” Song Yulan patted Ming Yao’s back. “Have you been well these years?”

Ming Yao, touched by Song Yulan’s emotions, could feel that Song Yulan truly cherished her.

“Pretty good, Aunt Lhan. How about you?”

Song Yulan cradled Ming Yao’s small face and looked over it carefully, then nodded, “I’ve been quite well too, although I’ve been thinking of you from time to time. Siting did you wrong, in my heart, you are my daughter-in-law…”

“Aunt Lhan, he and I were not meant to be, and now we both have new lives, so let’s not bring up the past anymore.”

“Yaoyao, you’re here,” Old Madam Gu came over and took Ming Yao’s hands.

Ming Yao nodded her head, “Grandma Gu.”

Ming Yao saw Old Madam Gu come out and Little Orange came out as well.

She hid behind Old Madam Gu, peering at her with big eyes as dark as black grapes.

The little one looked timid, but not exactly timid, her appearance just naturally softened people’s hearts.

Seeing Ming Yao glance at Little Orange, Song Yulan hastily introduced, “This little girl was brought back by Yanyu. Her mommy is on a business trip, and Trashy Dad married a stepmother who treats her poorly. It’s really pitiful.”
