Chapter 196 - Old Madam Gu
Chapter 196: Old Madam Gu
“What do you mean young? Back then, you were even younger than her now. Didn’t you represent the country to go out for competitions and win all the major awards? You were even called the Light of Xia country’s Dance. Look at this Feng Qing, not only is she blind, but she also doesn’t know any manners. I really don’t know what Jiuhan likes her for.” Xie Yuhuan said disapprovingly.
Before she could finish her sentence, a classic car approached from afar. An old woman with white hair and wearing an old Western gown walked out. The old woman was hale and hearty. From her exquisite facial features, it was not difficult to tell that she was incomparably beautiful when she was young.
When she saw the old woman, Xie Yuhuan hurriedly went forward to greet her with a brilliant smile. “Old Madam Gu, I didn’t expect that you would really come. Why didn’t you inform me in advance so that I could directly go to your residence to pick you up? It’s been many years since I’ve seen you, but you’re still so hale and hearty. I’m really too happy.”
“Haha, Yuhuan, it’s been so many years since we last met. Your wrinkles don’t grow, but your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter.” Old Madam Gu teased as she placed her hand on Xie Yuhuan’s arm.
Gu Qingye and Gu Jingtong took a step forward and greeted Xie Yuhuan politely. Xie Yuhuan also greeted them kindly. She did not have the famous ‘Aunt Xie’ that was rumored to be in the pugilistic world.
“Old Madam Gu, I’ve been discussing business abroad recently. I heard that your eldest grandson, Gu Qingye, has become successful. In order to treat Old Master Gu, he even invited the Healer from A Dark Organization. I wonder how Old Master Gu is doing?” Xie Yuhuan supported Old Madam Gu and asked.
The Old Madam Gu in front of her was not the original wife of Old Master Gu, which meant that she was not Gu Qingye and Gu Jingtong’s biological grandmother. Strictly speaking, she was Old Master Gu’s sister-in-law. The real Old Madam Gu died of illness before she was 30 years old. Before she died, she repeatedly reminded Old Master Gu to marry her twin sister, which is the Old Madam Gu in front of her.
The relationship between sisters was deep. Before the elder sister died, she was still worrying about her younger sister, and her younger sister was not bad either. Although she married Old Master Gu, she had never been touched by him in her life, nor had she given birth to a son and a daughter for him. The two of them were only a married couple by name. When she was young, she helped Old Master Gu to manage the Gu family well. After she got older, she moved to the temple and chanted scriptures every day, accompanying Buddha. She was upright and honest her entire life. She was very loyal to her business friends and was very respected in the Capital.
Old Madam Gu smiled and said, “That old fogey is very healthy. He even clamored to come and ride a horse for two rounds today, but I kicked him back to bed.”
Upon hearing this, everyone covered their mouths and chuckled. Everyone knew that Old Madam Gu and Old Master Gu had a very intimate relationship. Although the two of them had not done the deed, they were even sweeter than ordinary married couples and were concerned about each other.
“Even though it’s a joke, the Healer is indeed good. Not only did he cure the old man’s illness, but he also gave him medicine to extend his lifespan. He drank for a while and now looks like he’s ten years younger. I think people will believe that he’s 50 years old.” Old Madam Gu said.
Xie Yuhuan nodded and seemed to be in deep thought. She seemed to be very interested in the Healer. At her age, she had no aspirations for anything. Her only pursuit was health and longevity.
Old Madam Gu looked at Long Yuning and frowned. “Yuhuan, this girl is…”
Xie Yuhuan pulled Long Yuning over and introduced, “Aiyo, look at how happy I am, I almost forgot to introduce her to you. You might have stayed in the mountains for too long and have forgotten about these younger generations. Do you think she’s a little familiar? She’s the daughter of the Long family, Long Yuning. You even hugged her personally during her babyshower .”
Old Madam Gu looked shocked. She looked at Long Yuning carefully and said with a smile on her old face, “Oh, so it’s that little girl from the Long family. She’s now like a flower. No wonder I didn’t recognize her. I heard that she has been raised and taught by you like your biological daughter.”
“Old Madam Gu, you’re flattering me. Yuning is talented and smart, and she’s diligent and studious. She became the Light of Dance in Xia country at a young age and has even won many major awards. She’s the best among the young generation.” Xie Yuhuan said with a smile.
Gu Qingye followed behind casually. When he heard Xie Yuhuan’s words, he couldn’t help but sneer. The best among the young generation? She only got a few lousy prizes, what was there to be proud of?
Old Madam Gu stopped and turned to look at Gu Qingye. “What are you laughing at?”
