Chapter 458: Chapter 5: She Is Gu Xueli! And Also Gu Yuan! Quan Jin Saw It.

He was considerate, making it impossible for others to find fault with his words or actions.

He truly thought of everything.

Only an old fox could be like this.

Gu Yuan said thanks.

He replied, "You’re welcome."

Then he gestured invitingly, "Miss Gu, please."

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, walked briskly ahead, with Quan Yin closely following behind.

They were a handsome man and beautiful woman, a perfect match, perfectly describing Gu Yuan and Quan Yin walking together at the moment, looking exceptionally well-matched.

In the pavilion in the back garden, Yu Rujin was cooling off with Suisui, next to a large pond.

Suisui was sitting on a cushioned stone stool watching "Bobo" cartoons on a tablet placed in front of her. Yu Rujin watched along. If she didn’t, Suisui would be unhappy later when she talked about the cartoon characters and her grandma wouldn’t know.

These five days spent with Suisui always seemed to pass quickly; in the blink of an eye, five days were gone.

At this moment, Fu leaned down and said, "Madam, Miss Gu has arrived, along with the Fifth Master, both came together."

"Fifth is here too?"

"Yes, Madam."

Yu Rujin quickly stood up and looked across the pond from the pavilion, indeed seeing the two figures.

From this view, they looked truly well-matched.

"Yuanyuan." Yu Rujin waved and shouted to the people across the pond.

Gu Yuan saw it and was striding over.

Suisui, who was watching the cartoon, abruptly turned her head when she heard her grandma shout for Yuanyuan. Seeing it was her mom, little Suisui didn’t watch "Bobo" anymore. She immediately slid down from the stone stool and ran toward Gu Yuan’s direction, shouting as she ran, "Mama~ Mama~ Mama~ Mama~"

Seeing this, Yu Rujin hurriedly called out to Fu, "Quickly, follow her closely, don’t let Suisui fall."

Fu responded, "Going right away."

It was only five days, Gu Yuan didn’t feel much when not seeing Suisui, just missed her a lot.

When seeing Suisui, Gu Yuan realized how much she missed her daughter, hearing Suisui calling for mama broke her heart.

She told Quan Yin beside her, "I’m going over first."

Quan Yin nodded, "Take it slow, don’t rush, the ground is uneven."

"Alright, I know."

She quickened her pace, first walking, then jogging over.

The mother and daughter saw the distance between them getting closer. Suisui, having run too fast, tripped and fell to the ground, immediately bursting into tears and crying, "Mama mama mama mama mama..."

Gu Yuan ran a step ahead of Fu, picked up the fallen Suisui, comforting the little crying girl, "Mama is here, sorry my Suisui, mama is just now here to take you home."

Suisui stopped crying, hugged Gu Yuan’s neck aggrievedly, sobbing and calling, "Mama, finally you came to pick me up."

"Mm, mama’s here to pick you up."

"Mama~"

"Mama is here."

"Mama~ I miss you~"

Gu Yuan’s eyelids warmed up. This was her little darling, so obedient and cute.

She said, "Mama misses you too, very very much."

Fu came running over, out of breath.

Quan Yin approached, instructing the breathless Fu, "Go get iodine, cotton swabs, and band-aids."

Fu dared not delay, immediately saying, "Wait a moment, going now."

Quan Yin reached out, "I’ll hold Suisui, you check on Suisui’s left knee injury, see if it’s serious."

Gu Yuan felt extremely guilty, thinking she was not a competent mother, not as attentive as an outsider. She gave Suisui to Quan Yin to hold, but Suisui refused, clinging to Gu Yuan’s embrace, softly saying, "I want mama, only mama."

"Mama is here, Suisui be good." Gu Yuan gently soothed her daughter’s emotions over and over.

It had been five days apart, longer than her previous business trips.

However, it was necessary to adapt; Suisui wouldn’t always stay with her since Suisui also had grandparents and a great-grandmother...

Behind Quan Yin, he took the bag slipping off her wrist and said, "It’s better you hold her, I’ll take a look."

"Okay."

Gu Yuan cooperated with Quan Yin, allowing him to check Suisui’s left knee injury.

He said, "It’s fine, just a bit of a graze. Wipe with iodine for disinfection and apply a band-aid and it will be okay."

Yu Rujin hurried over.

Fu, carrying iodine and band-aids, also rushed over, nearly out of breath.

While Suisui’s wound was being treated, she didn’t cry or scream, her little mouth tightly shut, but her red eyes made Gu Yuan especially distressed and she kept kissing and comforting her.

In turn, Suisui comforted Gu Yuan, "Mama, Suisui doesn’t fear pain."

Originally fine, Gu Yuan felt a pang when Suisui said this: "Mm, Suisui is not afraid, mama is here."

Suisui buried her face in Gu Yuan’s embrace, very well-behaved.

After treating the wound and applying a band-aid, Quan Yin said, "It’s fine now, just be careful not to get it wet."

Gu Yuan thanked Quan Yin, "Thank you, Mr. Quan."

Quan Yin, "No need to be so formal with me."

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s phone rang in her bag, and the bag was still in Quan Yin’s hand. He asked, "Do you need me to get the phone for you?"

"Sorry to trouble you." She repeated her apology.

Quan Yin reluctantly took out the phone for her.

The phone number showed an unknown number, but both Gu Yuan and Quan Yin recognized it.

Quan Yin comforted Suisui, "Mama needs to take a call, I’ll hold you."

Suisui obediently went into Quan Yin’s arms, allowing Gu Yuan to conveniently take the phone to her ear, saying, "Hello?"

A calm inquiry came from the other end of the line, "Gu Yuan?"

Gu Yuan didn’t know why Quan Jin called this number, as it was clearly labeled in his contacts as belonging to Gu Yuan.

She replied, "This is Gu Yuan."

Then she calmly inquired the other party, "Who is this?"

A detached inquiry was heard in the earpiece, "... Are you really Gu Yuan?"

Gu Yuan was stunned.

No one noticed Quan Jin standing on the other side of the pond.

He had returned from the airport to plant seeds of doubt at Huaxie Garden because of an unthinkable possibility, because of a thought.

What did he witness?

He saw his Uncle Five waiting outside the old house for a woman called Gu Xueli, with them talking and laughing as they entered the old house together.

She was Gu Xueli!

But why was she so familiar with Uncle Five? And why go to the Quan Family old house!!

All the way in, he stood on the other side of the pond, witnessing everything that had just happened.

His daughter called that woman mama.

His grandma called that woman Yuanyuan.

But wasn’t that woman supposed to be Gu Xueli?

Who could tell him what on earth was going on?!
