Shengzi Tang

  She immediately heard that he was concerned about Gu Xi, but some things were really hard to say, because many things she wasn't clear about what was going on, all of which were just her own wild guesses, so it's better not to talk nonsense.

  "There's nothing to talk about, just casual chat, isn't it, Mr. Gu? You even want to ask about this, aren't you too nosy?" Siwen said and ran into the living room without waiting for his response.

  After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa watching "Special Forces", and when everyone was fully engaged in the show, Si Mian's phone rang again. She was so absorbed in the show that she picked it up without even looking at it. Only after hearing his voice did she realize that Su Jianhao had called her. If she had known it was him earlier, she would have pretended not to hear it.

  He never asked for her number, must have gotten it from mom.

  "Dad, is anything wrong?"

  "You've been married for several weeks now, how come you haven't even come back once?" Su Jianhao's tone was somewhat reproachful.

  "I have to go to work, I'm busy, I'll come back and see you all when I have time." was a perfunctory response from Si Yun.

  "Don't wait any longer, let's make it tomorrow. Tomorrow you take a leave and come back with Gu Mo, everyone is missing you, and I don't know if you're living well after getting married"

  Si Mian got goosebumps all over his body, if telling lies would make one's nose grow longer, Su Jianhao's nose would be incredibly long by now. He could say such disgusting and nauseating words so calmly.

  "I'm fine, but Dad, I really don't have time tomorrow." Siwen pushed back.

  "You won't come back, but Gu Mo will have to come back once, right? The son-in-law hasn't visited his father-in-law's house even once, it's really not good enough. And your mom also wants to see Gu Mo." Su Jianhao brought Liu Zilan back home.

  Si Mian furrowed her brow, "Then I'll ask him, but he probably won't have time." After saying that, she turned to ask Gu Mo, still winking at him nonstop, "You're working tomorrow and will be very busy, right?"

  "Tomorrow I'm on holiday," said Gu Mo faintly.

  I'm speechless, Gu Uncle and his wife aren't on the same page, and Si Mian is grinding her teeth in frustration.

  Su Jianhao heard it over the phone and was very happy. "Since Gu Mo has nothing to do tomorrow, let him come over and sit for a while."

  Si Mian had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll tell him."

  He hung up the phone and scolded Liu Zilan, who was standing beside him with some displeasure, "Look at the daughter you've given birth to. Let her come back once, I still have to invite her three or four times. I've raised her for so many years in vain, it's not as good as raising a dog. A dog that has been raised for a long time will still remember its home."

  Liu Zilan clearly knew that her daughter was wronged, but she didn't dare to refute Su Jianhao in public either. She could only stand there and say nothing.

  Su Xin went downstairs just in time to hear Su Jianhao's words, snorted and shook her head.

  With such a reaction, even if she were to be forgiven, she would not return to this home.

  Su Jianhao was a bit angry, seeing Su Song sitting on the sofa watching TV, as if nothing had happened. He walked over and said with a serious tone, "You're 21 now, don't just spend your days watching TV and playing games all the time. When you have free time, go to the company to learn more. After all, this family will be handed over to you in the future."

  "Now isn't it you who's in charge? Anyway, you're healthy, so just take care of it for two more years, what's the rush?"

  "What's the hurry? Do you think managing a company is an easy thing?" Su Jianhao frowned, and this only child was not living up to expectations.

  In recent years, some government officials have been doing a good job.

  Originally, I planned to marry Su Xin off to Gu Mo, and after Su Song rose to power, have Gu Mo help him out a bit. At that time, with my brother-in-law as the mayor, who wouldn't give Su Song some face?

  But unexpectedly, Gu Mo actually chose that drag oil bottle. Who knows if the drag oil bottle will even appreciate his kindness or not, and he got excited for nothing.

  And in recent years, the economy has been getting worse and worse. Many companies are facing bankruptcy. Although Su's company looks prosperous on the surface, it actually has many internal problems to solve. However, as long as the mayor of Nanhua City is backing them up, Su's company will absolutely not go bankrupt.

  It can only be hoped that Si Wei still has a conscience, remembering his kindness to her, and helping to speak up for Su Shi in front of Gu Mo. With so many projects in the city every year, who knows, maybe Gu Mo will be pleased and give Su Shi a project to work on, and then won't they make money?

  "Tomorrow Little Fluffy Sheep is coming back, it's been a long time since I've seen her." Su Song rubbed his chin.

  In daily life, Su Song often bullied Si Mian, and Su Jianhao was not unaware of it. However, he turned a blind eye to it. But tomorrow they had to ask someone for a favor, so Su Jianhao reminded him, "She's your sister, don't call her Little Sheep anymore. Don't forget that Mian is now the mayor's wife, so be careful with what you say tomorrow. Did you hear me? If you mess it up, even if you're my own son, I won't be able to show my face."

  Although Su Jianhao spoiled Su Song, he let him have his way in everything, but at critical moments, what he said, Su Song did not dare to disobey.

  …..

  At night, they still lived here. Siwen hugged a book on the bed and flipped through it. My god, it's so hard! There's even Olympiad math. When she was in school, her math scores were never passing.

  Gu Mo wants her to take the self-taught undergraduate exam, isn't this taking her life?

  Lü Qingyan pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her holding a bowl of soup, Si Mian smiled and said, "Mom, he's taking a bath now. Just put it down for now and he'll drink it when he comes out."

  "This soup isn't for him to drink, but for you." Lü Qingyan sat on the bed, smiling at her, "Mianmian, drink it while it's hot, it's good for your body. When I married your father-in-law, my mother-in-law loved to stew this soup for me to drink, and as a result..." She smiled slyly, saying with some pride, "Both of our children were boys, but Mianmian, don't worry, I absolutely don't favor boys over girls, grandsons or granddaughters are all the same to me."

  Si Mian took a look at this dark and murky soup, which also had a foul smell, similar to the water used for washing pots.

  She hastily took it from the bedside table, "Thank you, grandma, I'll drink it later."

  "It's you who understands my mother-in-law's heart, unlike that scoundrel Gu Mo, wasting my painstaking efforts, after all the hard work, he didn't even drink it." Lu Qingyan reprimanded, clearly still remembering last time.

  Mr. Gu was taking a bath inside, and she didn't dare to follow her mother-in-law in talking about him behind his back, so she could only accompany her with a smile.

  "Alright, mom won't nag anymore, finish your soup and go to bed early." That expression was especially ambiguous.

  Xiao Meng smiled even more brightly, "I know, mom."

  The door closed, Si Mian took out his phone and quietly played with it. As soon as the sound of water inside stopped, he immediately threw the phone far away, picked up a pen to review and highlight key points while muttering to himself.

  Gu Mo came out and saw her looking quite proper, wiping her hair as she walked over.

  She hastily pretended to be very careful in looking at the formula, but actually, she didn't understand it at all. It was a typical case of it knowing her, while she didn't know it.

  "Can you apply it after watching for so long?"

  "Ah, still studying it"

  "How long will you prepare for?"

  "This is still unknown, let's see the situation, maybe we looked at it correctly, and next second I will understand its meaning. If we don't look at it smoothly, maybe that's a lifelong thing." Si Mian casually said nonsense.

  "Stop spouting nonsense," Gu Mo frowned, "if you don't understand something, just ask and I'll explain it to you."

  He wouldn't ask, but if he did, after finishing his explanation, he would ask her if she understood. If she said she didn't understand, he would elaborate further. If she still didn't understand after the elaboration, he would start getting angry. If she pretended to understand, he would immediately give her a problem to solve on the spot. If she couldn't solve it, she was doomed.

  In short, whether she understands or not, her fate is not good, so it's better to study by herself.

  "Never mind, I believe we will see eye-to-eye soon, so no need to bother you."

  Gu Mo smelled a foul odor and saw the soup on the bedside table, saying, "It's soup again, brought by Mother."

  "Yes, mom said you've been working hard lately, so she made some nourishing soup for you. Here, drink it quickly and don't let mom's kindness go to waste." Si Mian handed it over to him.

  "Don't drink it, take it away and pour it out." Gu Mo said with disgust.

  "How can that be? It's all mom's painstaking effort, what a pity if it goes to waste"

  "What about you?" Gu Mo raised an eyebrow.

  "Can't be helped," said Si Mian hastily shaking his head, "this soup is only suitable for you to drink, we can't drink it, so, Uncle Gu, you'll just have to make do."

  Gu Mo took it and drank a mouthful, feeling that the taste was strange, with a strong medicinal flavor. Just as he thought of going to the bathroom to pour it away, Lü Qingyan pushed open the door and came in, just seeing him drinking the soup. She hurried forward, "What's wrong with you? I specially stewed this soup for you, but now you're grabbing the one I made for Mengmeng!" Lü Qingyan snatched the soup from his hand, "This soup is especially for your wife to drink, men can't drink it."

  At this moment, Gu Mo's gaze fell on Si Mian's body, like a knife, and Si Mian shrunk his neck.

  "Soft and warm, this soup is still hot, drink it quickly." Lu Qingyan coaxed.

  "Mom, we'll definitely drink later, don't bother anymore, go rest now."

  "Mom, can you knock next time when you come in?"

  Lü Qingyan suddenly reacted, with an embarrassed expression on her face. "This soup is a bit bitter, Mom forgot to give Mianmian sugar earlier, and now she's come in to give it to her but forgot to knock on the door. Don't worry, next time I'll definitely remember, so you don't have to be afraid of me seeing anything."

  The son has grown up, got married, and is about to have a grandson. It's really time to knock on the door, otherwise, it would be embarrassing for both the daughter-in-law and the son to see things they shouldn't.

  This old lady is too straightforward with her words!

  Gu Mei's face turned black as she took over her hand with sugar and said impatiently, "Alright, get out, we need to prepare for bed."

  "Sleep well, sleep well. However, Gu Mo, before you sleep, remember to let your wife drink the soup, it's good for her." After finishing speaking, Lü Qingyan quickly went out and made a "refueling" gesture when closing the door.

  As soon as the door closed, Si Mian immediately admitted his mistake, "Uncle Gu, I really didn't know this soup was specially made for me by mom. If I had known, I would rather die than ask you to drink it."

  "Can I trust you?" Gu Mo was very suspicious.

  "I'm absolutely capable, I couldn't deceive you even if I wanted to"

  "Drink this soup." Gu Mo gave it to her.

  Si Mian smiled and said, "Can't you not drink?"
