Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 585: The Mother-in-law is Praising Her
Gu Yikun stayed by her bedside until she fell asleep before leaving the hospital. He instructed the head nurse, "You must stay in the room and watch over her. There can’t be any mistakes."
The head nurse was very diligent and didn’t dare leave the room. If anything happened to the lady’s belly, her career would be over.
An Junxi slept for a long time. When she woke up in the middle of her sleep, she unintentionally overheard the doctor and the head nurse talking.
The head nurse sighed a bit and said in a low voice, "It’s really different lives for different people. The lady married the president, and not long after the marriage, she has two children already. The president is so devoted to her, a happiness many can only dream of."
The doctor, who had a good relationship with the head nurse, saw that the lady was still asleep and whispered, "Four years ago, I knew this girl from an ordinary family would become the young madam of the Gu Family. She had the old madam’s approval. Do you think it was that simple?"
An Junxi wanted to open her eyes but pretended to stay asleep after hearing this. Four years ago... she was the tutor for the Gu Family, hardly anyone paid attention to her. Why would the doctor say this?
The head nurse voiced her curiosity, "Two years ago, when the lady brought Little Miss back to Yan City, outsiders found out they had secretly gotten married. You knew this so early?"
The doctor said, "Four years ago, the old madam came to the hospital for a full body check-up and had us do a full body check-up on the lady as well. She personally inquired about Miss An’s report, asking about her health and fertility. That’s when I knew this girl was to marry into a wealthy family. If it had been someone else, the old madam wouldn’t have been so concerned."
The head nurse was astonished, "Four years ago, the old madam wasn’t as easygoing as she is now. How did the lady gain the old madam’s approval?"
"How would I know? Who can guess the old madam’s thoughts?" The doctor said, "Come out with me for a while, don’t talk here."
An Junxi heard their footsteps gradually fade away as the door closed.
She opened her eyes, recalling a bit about the body check-up.
That time, the old madam had a heart condition and came for a check-up. Later, the doctor said there was a discount on examinations and performed a series of check-ups on her.
She had never seen that report. Shortly after, the old madam asked her to leave the Gu Family, and she put the check-up out of her mind.
How could her mother-in-law have approved of her back then? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The cold and unfeeling attitude when she was asked to leave, saying she wasn’t good enough for Yikun. Her mother-in-law was also furious when she and Yikun got their marriage certificate, not allowing them to make it public.
An Junxi couldn’t understand why her mother-in-law asked the doctor about her fertility.
She was filled with questions and a bit of displeasure.
Her body check-up was her privacy, completely disregarded by her mother-in-law who investigated everything.
After much contemplation, An Junxi decided to call her mother-in-law for the first time on her own.
Since they went abroad, she had never called proactively. It was always her children using her phone to call their grandparents while she listened without saying much.
Because of Gu Qianlan, there was still a rift between her and her mother-in-law. Luckily, they didn’t live together, or there would be deeper conflicts.
The phone connected, and Liang Huiyun asked, "Is it Jin Xiu? Are you missing grandpa and grandma?"
An Junxi said, "Mom, it’s me."
Liang Huiyun was stunned for a moment, then put on her coat and got up from bed, "Jun Xi, I heard from Yikun that you’re in the hospital. How are you feeling?"
"I’m fine. The baby is entangled in the umbilical cord. The doctor said if I keep my emotions in check, the baby will untangle itself. It’s very naughty, moving around in my belly causing this."
Liang Huiyun was even more surprised hearing An Junxi talk so much to her.
She knew An Junxi’s temperament, she was angry at her for favoring Qianlan, and was still mad. She wondered why An Junxi would call her today.
Liang Huiyun sat by the fireplace, "That’s good. Your mom is at home, she’ll take good care of you. Even I can’t be as attentive as your mother-in-law."
"Mom," An Junxi said, "I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead." So this was the real reason.
"Before Yikun and I got married, did you have the doctor give me a full body check-up?"
Liang Huiyun’s voice turned unpleasant, "What did the doctor say?"
"It’s not her fault, I overheard it by accident."
"Then it was the doctor being too talkative."
An Junxi didn’t know how to respond. After a moment of silence, she thought her mother wouldn’t answer, but Liang Huiyun said, "Yes, it was me who asked the doctor to do it."
"Why? You didn’t like me, said I wasn’t good enough for Yikun, and asked me to leave the Gu Family..."
"Jun Xi, you’ve been married for many years now, you should understand my personality," Liang Huiyun spoke candidly, "If I didn’t approve of you at all, do you think you could have gotten your marriage certificate with Yikun without me intervening? If I wanted you to leave Yikun, I had plenty of ways to make it happen."
An Junxi hugged her arms, feeling a bit cold.
Liang Huiyun said, "That body check-up... It’s my minimal requirement for you. Health without hereditary diseases, a clear family background, this was my biggest concession."
She had many stringent requirements for the young madam of the Gu Family. No one expected that person to be a girl from an ordinary family.
Who could have predicted that? Even she couldn’t understand it better than others.
An Junxi temporarily set this matter aside and asked, "Is it because of Yikun’s resolute attitude that you..."
"No, if you were not suitable, no matter how much Yikun liked you, I would still choose to be the villain."
"Why did you think I was suitable?"
Liang Huiyun recalled events from a long time ago, "It’s simple. When Jin Xiu was kidnapped, you saved him."
"Just because of that? If someone else had saved Jin Xiu, would you have agreed?" An Junxi couldn’t help but feel unhappy, this reason was too vexing.
Liang Huiyun spoke slowly, "When Yikun went on a business trip to South Africa, I took the opportunity to ask you to leave the Gu Family. You didn’t mention it at all, left readily without entanglement, and didn’t ask me for any favors. That’s when I had a slight change in perception of you."
An Junxi couldn’t believe it turned out to be like this, "What if I had used that incident to ask you for some benefit, what would the result be?"
Liang Huiyun smiled a bit, "You wouldn’t, because you are An Junxi."
An Junxi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, was her mother-in-law complimenting her?
An Junxi wasn’t very sure, but she couldn’t hold back her words, "But mom, you still asked me to leave, and got angry when Yikun and I registered, not letting us go public."
"The more I oppose, the more Yikun likes it. He’s not impulsive. Even if he had feelings for you, without my opposition, do you think he would impulsively register for marriage? As for not going public... Jun Xi, four years ago you were just a small naive employee, how would you face the media?"
An Junxi couldn’t respond to her mother’s series of questions.
Liang Huiyun stopped talking, "I’ll go check if Qianlan is awake. You take good care of yourself."
An Junxi quickly asked, "Mom and Dad, are you coming back for the New Year?"
