Although she was a middle-aged woman, Madam Kou looked very young. Her luxurious clothes made her look even more elegant. She had been smiling ever since Gu Qingxue entered the house with her three children.
However, if one looked carefully, one would find that her smile had not reached her eyes. There was shrewdness and calculation hidden deep in her eyes.
Madam Kou looked at Gu Qingxue with wild joy, “Xue’er, you’re finally back. It’s been a long journey. You’ve worked hard…”
Madam Kou looked at Gu Qingxue expectantly. She was surprised to see that Gu Qingxue and her three children were all wearing decent clothes, which was totally different from what she had imagined.
Madam Kou had called so many people here today to let them watch Gu Qingxue’s show.
She had specifically told Nanny Zhou to bring Gu Qingxue here directly after they got off the car so that they could see how miserable Gu Qingxue was.
Although Gu Qingxue and her three little children were not dressed in noble clothes, their clothes were still decent. Their clothes and jewelry were all new, which were comparable to the clothes of wealthy businessmen.
In addition, Gu Qingxue and her family also had good looks. All of them were beauties, which surpassed all the women in the house! Gu Lingyue, who was standing next to Madam Kou. was also displeased. She glared at Nanny Zhou.
Nanny Zhou really had a hard time saying it.
She actually did as she was told, but unfortunately, Gu Qingxue was dressed very well. Before she came back, she was still at the stage station outside the city, bathing and changing with her three children. After washing away the tiredness from the long journey, she returned home in a bright and beautiful manner.
Madam Kou remained calm. She was about to continue, but Gu Qingxue ignored her and went straight to the Old Madam on the main seat to pay her respects.
“Grandma, your granddaughter is back. I send my regards to you.” Gu Qingxue led the three children to pay their respects and urged, “You should call her great-grandmother.”
“Great-grandmother,” the three children called out in unison.
“Xue’er, My Xue’er, quick, quick…” the Old Madam, who had been sitting motionlessly in the main seat, seemed to recognize Gu Qingxue when she saw her. Her eyes immediately reddened as she waved her hand to call out to her.
Gu Qingxue quickly walked forward, grabbed the Old Madam’s hand, and sat down beside her.
Seeing the Old Madam’s cloudy eyes filled with longing, Gu Qingxue’s heart also felt extremely bitter.
The reason why she was so respectful to the Old Madam was that she was the only person in the entire Gu family who was kind to the original owner of this body.
It could be said that if the Old Madam was not too old and muddle-minded, the Gu family would not have fallen into the hands of Madam Kou. Moreover, the original owner of this body would not have been married off to the Dafu Village.
“Xue’er, Xue’er…” the Old Madam held Gu Qingxue’s hand tightly as if she was afraid that Gu Qingxue would run away. Her mind was not clear, and she could not say anything else besides calling Gu Qingxue by her name.
However, Gu Qingxue could feel the Old Madam’s longing, so she stayed by her side.
When Old Nanny Sheng, who had been serving the Old Madam, saw this scene, her eyes were also red. “Ever since the Eldest Miss got married, the Old Madam has been thinking about you. Now that you’re back, the Old Madam is happy, and she’s much more energetic.”
“Why did Sister Xue come back to only care about grandmother? She made our whole family wait for her,” Gu Lingyue said with a faint smile.
“Grandmother is the head of the Gu family, so I should greet her first. Did the Eldest Madam not even teach the Second Miss the simple principle of respecting the elders?” Gu Qingxue’s voice was very soft, but her words were extremely sharp!
