At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 439 Yangyang didn't do it on purpose, don't blame her.
"What...what's going on?" Lu's mother turned to look at Lu Shengsheng, her eyes questioning. "Didn't they say his father went abroad for medical treatment?"

"Going abroad?" Lin Leyang looked blank. "When did Uncle Gu go abroad?"

"Why are you talking so much?" Lu Shengsheng looked up and glared at Lin Leyang.

She belatedly realized she had said the wrong thing, and looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"Mom, let's go to another store!" Lu Shengsheng pushed her mother away.

Lin Leyang watched them leave, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed Gu Ronghui's number. "Ahui, I'm sorry. I think I've caused you trouble..."

In the rest area, Lu's mother pressed her hand against the wheelchair and asked in a cold voice, "Sheng Sheng, what happened?"

Lu Shengsheng cursed Lin Leyang a hundred times in her mind, took a deep breath, walked to the chair next to her and sat down, trying to play dumb, "What? What happened?"

"Judging from what Miss Lin just said, Gu Baisong didn't go abroad at all. Why did you lie to me?" Mother Lu's expression was serious and she was very angry.

Lu Shengsheng's eyes flickered, and she deliberately said, "It's all because you insisted on having this family reunion dinner. There's nothing good about it, so I made up an excuse to lie to you!"

"Lu Shengsheng!" Lu's mother's voice was stern. "How have I taught you since you were little? To be honest, not to lie all the time. Have you forgotten all of that?"

"I haven't forgotten." Lu Shengsheng didn't want her to know about the impending divorce, so she continued to lie. "I'm just worried. He's the high and mighty Chairman Gu, what are we? I'm afraid you can't handle it..."

Even though she's a celebrity and earns a lot of money, those wealthy and powerful families still look down on her.

"No matter what others think of us, as long as we do the right thing, that's enough," Lu's mother comforted her. "Besides, you two are married now, and he's still your elder. Even if he has any complaints or criticisms about you, as the younger generation, you should just bear with it, okay?"

Lu Shengsheng nodded without refuting; some things can't be solved by simply enduring.

Lu's mother reached out and patted her head. "Let's go and choose a nice birthday gift for your father-in-law."

Lu Shengsheng pushed her to an antique shop, where, on the owner's recommendation, she took a liking to an inkstone and a jade thumb ring. While she was hesitating, Gu Rong turned around.

The boss was surprised and overjoyed to see Gu Rong. "Mr. Gu, what brings you here today?"

Gu Rong didn't say anything, but walked straight to Lu's mother and Lu Shengsheng. "I'm sorry, Mom, it's my fault. Please don't blame Shengsheng."

The boss only realized after hearing his words that the people in front of him were Mrs. Gu and his mother-in-law.

"You two are really outrageous," Lu's mother said in a light rebuke, but she wasn't really angry.

"I won't be able to attend your father's birthday banquet because I'm not feeling well, but we can't be careless about etiquette," Mrs. Lu changed the subject. "Could you help me decide which one is appropriate?"

"Inkstone." Gu Ronghui could tell at a glance that the calligraphy and painting were not genuine. If it were presented to Gu Baisong, he would be furious.

"Then let's take this inkstone." After Lu's mother finished speaking, Lu Shengsheng was about to take out her card to pay.

Gu Ronghui acted even faster, pulling out a card and handing it to the shopkeeper, "Wrap it up."

“This is a gift for your father, how can we let you pay for it?” Mrs. Lu frowned, disapproving of this approach.

Gu Rong glanced back at Lu Shengsheng, "My money is Shengsheng's money. There's no need to be so clear about the division between husband and wife."

Lu's mother couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she had no choice but to let him go.

After buying the items, Gu Rong returned them to the hospital.

After a long day of sightseeing, Lu's mother was tired and went back to her ward to rest.

Lu Shengsheng and Gu Ronghui stood at the end of the corridor talking.

"I'll send someone to pick you and Mom up on the day of the birthday banquet." Gu Rong's voice was indifferent, revealing no emotion. "Don't bring the inkstone; I'll prepare another one for you."

Bringing out that inkstone would only make us a laughingstock. Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but sneer: "If you didn't like it, why didn't you just refuse my mother's offer? Why did you invite us to the birthday banquet? For what? To let them discuss our divorce case? Or to see your illegitimate child?"

“You Shiyu and the child won’t be there that day,” Gu Rong explained, then paused and added, “They won’t mention the divorce either.”

"I'm not going!" Lu Shengsheng refused decisively, not wanting to see the disgusting faces of the Gu family at all.

Gu Rong frowned: "If you don't want Mom to worry, you'd better not be stubborn with me at this time!"

Lu Shengsheng: "Stop calling me 'Mom'! That's my mom, not your mom!!"

Gu Rong didn't want to argue with her, so she changed the subject, saying, "Yangyang didn't do it on purpose today, so don't blame her!"

Lu Shengsheng's almond-shaped eyes filled with mockery. No wonder he came so quickly and was so kind; it turned out he was afraid that she would make things difficult for his white moonlight.

"I don't care if she did it on purpose or not. If my mom is okay, fine. But if anything happens to her, I'll never forgive her!!"

After Lu Shengsheng finished speaking, she added, "If you have nothing to do, get lost. Seeing your face makes me even more irritated."

Gu Ronghui: "..."

***
When Gu Rong sent her assistant to deliver the invitation, Lu's mother was quite happy.

Judging from his attitude towards Sheng Sheng, he seems to be quite nice. Even if the Gu family really looks down on Sheng Sheng's background, I believe he can still protect her.

Seeing her smiling while holding the invitation, Lu Shengsheng couldn't bear to shatter her illusions.

In these last three months, she still hoped that her mother could spend them happily.

On the day of the birthday banquet, Lu's mother got up early, had breakfast, changed her clothes, and even asked Lu Shengsheng to bring cosmetics so she could put on makeup.

Looking at her aged reflection in the mirror, Lu's mother sighed, "We were in such a rush. It would have been even better if we could have gotten our hair done."

She had completely forgotten when was the last time she dressed up like this.

“You’re already stunning without needing to get your hair done. How are we supposed to live if you do it too?” Lu Shengsheng exaggeratedly. “My mom is the most beautiful woman in the world.”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Lu smiled sheepishly. She's so old, what great beauty is she? She's just an old woman.

"If my mother wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world, how could she have given birth to such a stunningly beautiful woman like me?"

Lu's mother poked her head, "Aren't you ashamed!"

Lu Shengsheng smiled and tilted her head to avoid it, then took out a very beautiful pearl necklace from the box and put it on her.

She's wearing a blue-and-white porcelain-colored cheongsam today, and she looks even better with a pearl necklace.

Soon, Gu Ronghui's driver came to pick them up.

The birthday banquet was held at a hotel owned by the Gu Group, which booked an entire floor. The event was packed with guests and was a lively affair.

Lu Shengsheng took her mother's arm and walked into the banquet hall. Gu Ronghui, with her sharp eyes, quickly spotted them, told the guests, and hurried over.

"Mom, Sheng Sheng..."

Lu's mother: "Where is your father?"

“He’ll be a little later,” Gu Rong replied. “Is Mom tired? Should she go to her room to rest?”
