Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage - Chapter 407
Chapter 407: Chapter 408: Want to Chat with You
Yet at this very moment, this orchid plant was intact and had even bloomed.
The fairy orchid is an extremely rare species with high monetary value.
Moreover, it only blooms once every two to three years.
This particular kind of orchid requires meticulous care due to its delicacy.
After the orchid had previously broken, Gu Mingzhu thought it had been thrown away.
However, little did she know, Xia Yangyang took it.
Xia Yangyang spoke up, “Sis, I took the orchid that day, and later sought out Professor Zhang from the University of Agriculture. He is an expert in this field. Surprisingly, he managed to revive it, and I took good care of it for a while, and it actually bloomed. Now, this orchid should be returned to its original owner.”
This fairy orchid had been a constant worry for Xia Yangyang.
Because she felt that from that moment on, Gu Mingzhu’s attitude towards her had changed dramatically.
Hence, she has been desperate to make amends ever since.
But it seems that it wasn’t like that now.
Xia Yangyang was almost certain.
Gu Mingzhu must have harbored resentment, because she herself is Tan Zhen’s daughter.
Gu Mingzhu received the fairy orchid, and nonchalantly said, “You’re thoughtful.”
Xia Yangyang felt somewhat disappointed seeing Gu Mingzhu’s reaction.
At this moment, Gu Zhaohan and their grandfather came over.
The family started their dinner.
Gu Mingzhu’s dumplings were truly exceptional.
But Xia Yangyang was preoccupied; it felt as if the food was sitting heavily in her stomach.
Finally, dinner was over.
The grandfather called Gu Mingzhu to the study for a discussion.
Probably because of what Xi Jiachen just said.
After a while, Gu Qichen also went over.
Xia Yangyang remained alone in her room.
Even though it was New Year’s Eve.
The courtyard was brilliantly lit.
But Xia Yangyang still felt an indescribable sense of loneliness envelop her.
Xia Yangyang stayed in her room for a while.
Then she heard a knock at the door.
Xia Yangyang found it strange.
If it were Gu Qichen, he wouldn’t knock, but just come in directly.
Who could it be, knocking at her door at this time?
Xia Yangyang went to open the door.
There stood Gu Zhaohan.
Xia Yangyang blinked in surprise, “Do you need something?”
Gu Zhaohan said, “Yangyang, I want to have a little chat with you.”
Xia Yangyang replied, “Alright, let’s go to the courtyard. I want to check on Oscar.”
There were two swing chairs hanging from a large locust tree in the courtyard.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan each took a seat.
Oscar, wagging his tail, dashed back and forth between them.
Xia Yangyang started, “Have you been worried about something recently?”
Gu Zhaohan stretched out his legs and lowered his head, “Yangyang, do you think I should go back to my dad’s side?”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback that Gu Zhaohan asked this question.
“Is it the Xi family?”
“He has come to me many times. As long as I go back, he promised to let me join the ‘Novi’ world-class neurology research team.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t really understand this particular field.
But she could tell that this must be a great temptation for Gu Zhaohan.
Gu Zhaohan continued, “I’ve applied many times, but due to my lack of qualifications, I haven’t been eligible. However, this research team is at the world’s forefront of neurotechnology; I have always wanted to be a part of it.”
Xia Yangyang remained silent for a while, “Apart from this research team, do you want to go back to the Xi family?”
Gu Zhaohan fell silent.
After what seemed like a long time, Gu Zhaohan finally spoke, “Here, grandpa and mom only see my uncle. No matter what I do, I will never be the center of attention. Sometimes, I feel that it’s time for me to change my living environment. Perhaps this way, my mom might miss me a little..”
