Chapter 74: Chapter 74: How to Respond_1

Although this couple were neatly dressed, they were not fashionable and did not have any luxury goods. They obviously came from an ordinary family.

I racked my brains for a long time, but couldn’t remember who they were.

I glanced at Gu Yuanzhou again.

He seemed to be observing my reaction…

Actually, I was very clear that there was a blind spot between Song Xiaoyun and me.

That is, I didn’t know all of Xiaoyun’s relatives and friends.

From Xiaoyun’s old mobile phone, it seems that she didn’t like socialising, and she barely had any regular contacts on WeChat and phone.

Most of her mobile album was filled with scenery and small animals like cats and dogs.

By rights, I should try to at least understand Xiaoyun’s past to avoid the embarrassment of not recognizing people face to face.

But because I had more urgent matters at hand, even though I had this intention, I didn’t implement it.

I just didn’t expect that troubles would come so fast.

“Xiaoyun, child, why are you so dazed?”

The woman slapped me again.

I nodded at her uncomfortably, while also trying desperately to identify her.

Gu Yuanzhou crossed his arms in front of his chest, staring into my eyes,

“Why don’t you introduce us to each other?”

As soon as he said this, I understood immediately.

He was testing me.

I took another look at the woman in front of me. Although she looked a bit old, her features had some similarity to Xiaoyun’s.

Also, the woman was carrying a cloth bag filled with some local products. Immediately returning to my senses, I hurriedly introduced them.

“President Gu, this is… my parents!”

“It took you this long to react?”

“Uh, I… just didn’t expect them to come over all of a sudden!”

At this point, Song’s mother grabbed my arm,

“Girl, you’ve lost a lot of weight recently! Have you become short-sighted again, not even recognizing your own mother?”

“Yeah, I’ve become much more short-sighted, I didn’t see clearly…”

I mumbled to myself.

Song’s mother grabs my hand and strides over to Gu Yuanzhou,

“Mr. Gu, my child is like this, always hesitant and awkward ever since she was young.”

But Gu Yuanzhou was staring at me intently, saying meaningfully,

“Is that so? She doesn’t seem like that.”

Worried about the more you speak, the more you slip, I wanted to quickly take Song’s parents away from here. So I told Gu Yuanzhou,

“President Gu, sorry to bother you. I am going to take my parents to eat now!”

Gu Yuanzhou generously agreed.

“Alright! Your folks have come all the way here, they should have a good meal. You go and book a seat, I’ll treat them!”

Gu Yuanzhou actually stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and it seemed like he was going to join us for dinner.

I quickly stopped him, “President Gu, you still have a meeting… I can handle my parents by myself.”

“How can that be? You are now the most important employee in my hand. Your parents have made such a hard trip here, of course, I have to entertain them personally. After all, there are nothing important today.”

I was actually a little suspicious of the whole thing.

Why did Song’s parents suddenly appear? Did Gu Yuanzhou bring them back, just to expose me?

Moreover, to my knowledge, Gu Yuanzhou has never had any interest in having a meal with his employees’ parents.

He is a businessman who only cares about profits. Every minute of his time is spent on making money. How could he waste such precious time?

When I was stunned, Gu Yuanzhou had already ordered the driver to get his car ready.

Song’s mother seemed to be a very talkative person, and very good at networking. She and Gu Yuanzhou chatted as if they were old friends.

The personality of Song’s father, however, was quite wooden and he didn’t say anything from beginning to end.

For me, this meal was a challenge. I really wanted to back out.

But in front of me were Song Xiaoyun’s parents, I couldn’t refuse. I had no choice but to go forward.

Ahead, Song’s mother got into Gu Yuanzhou’s car, and I took the opportunity to ask Song’s father,

“Dad, why did you come to my company?”

Song’s father was honest.

“Your mum got a call from the company, saying that the big boss wanted us to come over. Didn’t they say you’re really accomplishing great things now, and asked us bask in your glory?”

As expected, it was arranged by Gu Yuanzhou.

Still, to be on the safe side, I warned him, 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

“Dad, don’t talk nonsense later. Don’t mention any embarrassing things about me when I was young. He is the boss. If you talk too much, he might get a bad impression of me.”

Song’s father was straightforward and immediately nodded, “Don’t worry, Xiaoyun. I won’t say anything, not a word. I’ll remind your mother also not to say too much.”

“Good, very good!”

I pretended to book a few restaurants on my phone, then told Gu Yuanzhou, “President Gu, today is really not a good day. I tried booking a few restaurants but couldn’t get any tables. How about this, I’ll bring my mother to my friend’s house and cook them dinner.”

Gu Yuanzhou declined my ‘kindness’.

“How can that be, it’s not easy for them to come all the way… I’ll book it!”

Gu Yuanzhou personally stepped in and managed to book a seafood buffet at a five-star hotel.

As far as I know, this is the most luxurious buffet restaurant in A City, 888 yuan per person…

Ha, this man, he really spares no expense in testing me.

Alright, then let’s see this through.

I temporarily let go of all my distractions for now and focused on dealing with him.

After entering the restaurant, I took the opportunity to help Song’s mother get some food and walked with her, whispering and asking about a lot of things.

Like what’s been happening at home lately, the schools I attended, what my classmates and friends are up to… Maybe I asked too much, Song’s mother gave me a glare.

“What’s wrong with you Girl? You can’t remember so many things after working for just half a year?”

“It’s not that I can’t remember, I’m afraid that if the boss asks later, what I say won’t match with what you said, he might get upset!”

Song’s mother seemed very satisfied with Gu Yuanzhou. She glanced at him from afar, and he was currently pouring red wine. She said to me with a grin.

“Girl, I think your boss is young and handsome, hasn’t he married yet?”

“He has been married.”

“Then why haven’t I seen his wife?”

To prevent Song’s mother from asking inappropriate questions later,

I quickly answered, “His wife has passed away.”

“Really?”

“What is the meaning of your excitement?”

I couldn’t understand the inexplicable excitement in Song’s mother’s eyes.

“Ah, girl, as the saying goes, water flows downward, and people strive upward. I think your boss is of good character, and he treats you very well, you should grasp this opportunity.”

At that moment, I understood what Song’s mother meant.

Haha, I’m thinking, if I tell her that this man killed his own wife and child with his own hands,

Will she still want to seize this opportunity?
