1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 54 You heartless wretch, so ungrateful!
"What? What did you say?"

Gu Bin didn't hear clearly, so he leaned forward and put his ear to her mouth.

"Xiyu, is there any soup left in the pot? Leave a bowl for your uncle."

Chen Xiulan couldn't stand it anymore, so she deliberately coughed twice, interrupting the two of them chatting and laughing.

"I feel like your mom doesn't really like me?"

Gu Bin sensed something was wrong and straightened up, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Remove the word "feel".

Lin Xiyu's lips curled up slightly, and she teased him with a smile: "I just don't like it."

Hey, you!

Gu Bin laughed in exasperation, but because her family was present, he rubbed his fingertips together a few times, forcibly suppressing the urge to pinch her cheeks.

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

Lin Xiyu snatched the rice bowl from his hand and chased him away with a smile: "It's getting dark. If you don't leave now, your grandpa will get worried. I don't want to see a bunch of police cars parading around looking for someone at my house again."

"Fine, so you're chasing me away?"

Gu Bin was both amused and exasperated: "You're something else. I've seen through you now. You ungrateful wretch, you little ingrate."

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiyu shoved him forcefully and chased him out of the yard.

Chen Xiulan watched silently, her lips pressed tightly together, her mind agitated and uneasy.

"Xiyu, tell Mom the truth, do you like that classmate of yours? When did you two start dating? How far have things progressed? Have you gotten to that point?"

After filming ended and the crew left, she couldn't contain her anxiety and eagerly pulled her daughter into the inner room.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Xiyu didn't want to listen to the nagging and decisively denied it: "There's nothing between him and me, we're just classmates, there's nothing else between us."

"That's what you said"

Chen Xiulan didn't believe it and looked at her suspiciously: "Why does Mom think it's so unbelievable?"

"Why can't I believe it?" In order to dispel her mother's doubts, Lin Xiyu told her in detail how Gu Bin had helped her get a reward of 10,000 yuan.

"Ten thousand?!"

When Chen Xiulan learned the truth, she was so shocked that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

"Thank goodness he helped me."

Lin Xiyu thought for a moment and then said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that I could get paid to make a documentary, so I really have to thank him this time."

"Xi Yu."

Chen Xiulan wasn't listening carefully to what she was saying; her mind was completely occupied by the ten thousand yuan: "Could you talk to Director Du and give you the money in advance? Our family has an urgent need for it."

Lin Xiyu's thick, long eyelashes trembled, and her expression changed slightly.

"Is such that."

Seeing her daughter's troubled expression, Chen Xiulan hurriedly explained, telling her about the argument the family had had that afternoon when discussing buying a house.

"Sister Leilei said she wants to resign?"

Lin Xiyu was shocked: "Who did she borrow money from?"

"I heard from your cousin that she was one of her high school classmates, and her family is in the clothing wholesale business."

Chen Xiulan didn't hide anything: "Your aunt was worried, so after receiving the call, she and your uncle went out to look for the two siblings."

"Would Grandma agree to sell the bed? It's the only thing Grandpa left him."

Lin Xiyu felt a little relieved, but the thought of the large bed being sold brought back a wave of indescribable sadness.

"Your grandma said..."

Chen Xiulan's eyes flickered slightly as she avoided her daughter's gaze: "As long as it can fetch a good price, she has no objection."

"I do not believe."

Lin Xiyu noticed her guilty conscience and stood up from the bed in a huff: "I'll go ask Grandma."

"Don't go."

Chen Xiulan grabbed her arm: "Mom knows Grandma is upset, so don't go and make things worse."
