After the divorce, the president found out that he was a stand-in

Gu Jingxing turned his head in a daze, not knowing why his mother dragged him over.

"Mother, what do you want to say?"

"Come here, come here, sit here." Meng Lan beckoned to her son.

It was obviously a normal action, but Gu Jingxing abruptly saw a feeling of whispering/lowering his voice, as if he was about to tell some secret.

He moved his body silently and walked towards where Meng Lan was.

When the man sat down, Meng Lan grabbed her son, "Son, let me ask you."

"Did you drink a lot yesterday?"

Gu Jingxing frowned, not understanding why his mother asked this.

He came back so drunk yesterday that he could tell that he drank a lot.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"You don't need to beat around the bush." ​​Gu Jingxing saw through Meng Lan, and spoke very straightforwardly without saving his mother's face.

Meng Lan laughed twice.

"That...that..."

Well, the question I asked just now was indeed a bit lame.

"Mother just wanted to ask you, who did you drink with when you were so drunk yesterday?"

Gu Jingxing's expressionless face just now became unpredictable.

Su Nianxi's slightly drunken face from last night popped up in his mind.

The faint smell of perfume on the woman's body mixed with the smell of wine seemed to be on the tip of her nose.

Even though Su Nianxi's face was only in his mind, Gu Jingxing felt very clearly that his heart, which was as calm as water, suddenly jumped violently.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that her son's expression was not right, Meng Lan quickly asked.

"I am fine."

Gu Jingxing pursed his lips.

He picked up the teacup next to him, trying to calm his beating heart.

Of course, as the woman's face came to mind again, the question asked by the woman yesterday also came to mind.

The question just now resurfaced in Gu Jingxing's heart.

She...why is she so interested in Gu Heng?

Meng Lan next to him waited for a long time for an answer, but Gu Jingxing remained motionless, as if he was thinking about something.

"Jing Xing, Jing Xing? Did you hear what your mother said?"

"Is it necessary to think about this question for so long? I'm just asking who you drank with yesterday."

The voice next to his ear called Gu Jingxing back.

He took another sip of water to conceal his distraction.

Then he suddenly frowned and looked at Meng Lan in a puzzled manner.

"Why are you asking this?"

Perhaps slightly frightened by Gu Jingxing's suddenly fierce look, Meng Lan waved her hands subconsciously.

"Nothing, I'll just ask."

Immediately afterwards, she raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Mother, why don't you care about you, people drink for so long, it's not good for your health."

"You are the only one left in our family... If something happens to you again... How will Mom live?"

"It's thanks to Xiaoxi's help to pull your grandfather away from the god of death to answer, so my heart is relieved."

"Without Xiaoxi's help, your grandfather's illness would not be cured, and you would go out to drink all day long and come back only after getting drunk. My mother and I stayed at home alone... I don't know what to do."

After these words fell, Meng Lan wiped away the "non-existent" tears on her face.

Facing his mother, Gu Jingxing had always been soft-hearted rather than hard-working.

Now that Meng Lan was obviously about to cry, he immediately restrained the coldness that was unintentionally shown on his face.

"You talk as soon as you speak, why are you crying like a child."

"Don't cry, don't cry." The man's voice softened.

"yesterday I……"

Gu Jingxing glanced at his mother, but for some reason, he didn't tell the truth.

"I just had dinner with my partner yesterday and drank a little too much."

"I'll pay attention next time."

Partner?

As soon as these words came out, Meng Lan couldn't help but glance at his son.

What kind of partner, obviously had dinner with that woman Lin Nianer yesterday, didn't he?

Still a partner?What kind of partner is Lin Nian'er?

Totally lying.

She didn't know why Jingxing lied, but the fact was that, although she didn't know the reason, her son did lie to herself.

Jing Xing... the number of times he lied to himself before, although not saying that there were no, but it was also very few.

Today...why? ?

Gu Jingxing noticed something wrong with his mother's face, he pursed his lips and looked at her.

"Mother, are you still sad?"

Meng Lan wiped the corners of her eyes for the last time, and forcibly suppressed the doubtful sadness in her heart, "It's okay, I don't feel sad anymore."

"Mother just got emotional for a while, and remembered the past, so she confiscated it."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Meng Lan stood up, her face regained her composure.

My son's lie has been told like this...

All the questions she had prepared later could not be asked any further.

It's pointless to even ask.

Because there are already lies.

"Jing Xing, take a good rest in your room. You drank so much wine last night, so don't go to the company today."

Meng Lan said this with a forced smile.

After giving these instructions, she lifted her foot and prepared to step out of the door.

Because she felt that it was meaningless for her to stay here.

In Jing Xing's mind, is her mother... not as important as Lin Nian'er?

Meng Lan laughed at herself silently in her heart.

Forget it, she is actually not that competent as a mother, and she has nothing to say when her son thinks so.

"Mother, I will."

"Your waist, why don't you ask someone to look at it?"

Gu Jingxing could see the discomfort on his mother's face, which was mixed with a forceful element.

But what he didn't know was that these discomforts and strains were not because of the pain from his waist, but because of what he just said.

"It's okay, don't need to find a doctor, I'm fine."

Meng Lan forced a smile towards her son.

"I am leaving."

As soon as she took a step, out of her mother's soft heart, she withdrew her foot again and turned to look at her son.

"Jing Xing, try not to drink so much with your partners in the future."

Although her son lied, she still followed his son's words and continued the lie.

"I know it's not easy for you to support Gu's company alone."

"But mother doesn't want you to work so hard. Mother is already very relieved that Gu Shi can reach this level today..."

"You don't have to force yourself."

After saying this, Meng Lan seemed relieved at last, and walked out with strides.

Gu Jingxing wanted to call out to her, but looking at the back, he still didn't call out.

He sat back on the bed silently, looking like he was thinking.

Under the sharp eyebrows, the black eyes seemed to be covered with clear mist, faintly far away, not knowing where to go, let alone what he was thinking.

Until Aunt Liu appeared in front of him holding a bowl of soup and medicine.

"Master, this is the medicine I was given to you by my wife."

"Okay, let's put it here." Gu Jingxing came out of his thoughts, glanced sideways at the bowl of soup, and then looked back.

It seemed that he didn't intend to drink this bowl of soup.

Aunt Liu has been by his side for so long, so she can naturally see the young master's thoughts at a glance.

"Master, don't you want to drink?"

Gu Jingxing didn't speak.

"This medicine was airlifted from Kyoto... It is considered a very precious medicinal material in Kyoto, and it is Madam's wish."

Aunt Liu wanted to persuade.

Because this medicine is really precious.

And because she saw Madam at the top of the stairs, Madam really had a bad face.

And this bad face is obviously related to the young master.

If you don't drink this medicine, I'm afraid it will aggravate Madam's mood even more...

"From the Su family in Kyoto?"

Gu Jingxing didn't notice the twists and turns in Aunt Liu's heart, he only heard those four words.

Su's house in Kyoto.
