After I washed off my heavy makeup, the aloof CEO regretted it

With the help of the dim street lights on the roadside, she could clearly see the rolled-up walls on the building, which had faded to the point where the original color could not be distinguished.

Around this building, there are several similar buildings lined up.

Seeing this, the girl's eyes darkened.

Unexpectedly, my daughter owned such a luxurious villa and my mother actually lived in such a place.

As a bystander, Gu Nian took on the role of the second female lead. If I had the same experience, I might feel uncomfortable, but I wouldn't resent my mother so much.

Being together forever is wonderful, but there is nothing wrong with remarrying after being widowed and looking for happiness again.

As a daughter, I shouldn't interfere.

However, everyone’s growth experience is different, and their ideas and outlook are also different.

It is impossible for people to completely empathize with each other, so she is in no position to blame the original owner for being selfish, let alone accept or forgive others.

In addition, helping to buy a house and the like will undoubtedly destroy the character. In order to get home smoothly, she would never break the rules.

Being able to come over to see Mother Gu and spend a happy birthday with her is the only thing I can do at the moment.

After all, he is just a passerby. As long as the character is not ruined, it is enough to live up to one's conscience.

Gu Nian's eyes wandered back and forth between several unit doors.

Since he hasn't been here for a long time, the original owner seems to have forgotten his mother's specific address.

I just remember that it was probably in this area.

Just as she was hesitating whether to call and ask, a figure suddenly flashed out from behind the street lamp.

The man came to Gu Nian in a few steps, covered the girl's head with an umbrella, and stretched out a rough hand to brush away the snowflakes that had just fallen on her shoulders.

With a smile on his face, he muttered:

"Xiao Nian, you are indeed here. I knew that since you agreed, you would definitely come."

Looking at the middle-aged woman wearing a brown down jacket, with facial features similar to her own, and a slender figure, Gu Nian immediately knew something in her mind without searching for her memory.

She took half a step back, looked away slightly, and complained in a low voice:

"Didn't I say that you wouldn't be allowed to come out to pick me up?"

"Originally, I didn't want to go downstairs."

The woman smiled ingratiatingly, put her frozen hand to her lips and breathed, while explaining softly, "I thought you hadn't been here for a long time, what if I forget which unit it is? So I still want to Come out and greet me.

Don't be angry, Xiao Nian. Mom will definitely listen to you next time and won't go downstairs if you don't let me. "

Sure enough, there is no better daughter than a mother.

Gu Nian's eyes softened, but he imitated the original owner's tone and urged impatiently:

"Okay, stop nagging. It's so cold here, why don't you go upstairs?"

"Look at me, I'm happy to see you here. Come on, let's talk while we're walking!"

Gu's mother held her daughter's hand, and only then did she notice what she was holding, "Hey, is this cake from me?"

Gu Nian shook off the woman's hand, placed the cake box on the ground, and lied with wide eyes:

"This was given to me by someone just now. I don't eat cheap stuff like this, so I planned to throw it away. Then I thought about it, wasn't it your birthday, so I just brought it over. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it in the trash can. .”

Mother Gu, whose hand was thrown away, seemed to be used to her bad attitude and didn't seem to mind it. She bent down to pick up the cake box, carefully brushed off the newly stained snow, opened it with care and looked at it, and held it in her arms happily:

"Why are you throwing it away? Such a beautiful cake is a gift from my daughter, of course I want to eat it.

Look, how cute the kitten above is! I have liked cats since I was a child, but your grandma never let me keep them. So when I was in art class, I drew two of them in my notebook. "

Gu Nian glanced at her and uttered two words:

"childish."

In my mind, it was just the opposite. What I was thinking was:

so cute.

The mother and daughter walked one behind the other through the narrow gap between the buildings. After turning several turns, they came to an even more dilapidated old building.

Then, get into a dark unit.

Along the way, Gu's mother's mouth was never idle, and she kept chatting with her about home affairs.

First, he introduced his current situation, saying that he was in good health recently and found a job as a dishwasher in a restaurant. The work was easy and the salary was high.

He complained for a while that the voice-activated light in the stairwell was broken again, and quickly took out a flashlight to help Gu Nian illuminate it, while reminding her to walk slower when walking up the steps.

Later, he once again expressed his great joy at the arrival of his daughter.

Gu Nian pursed her lips and listened silently without interrupting.

My mother is introverted and not very expressive, which is completely opposite to Gu's mother's cheerful attitude, but their love for their children is genuine.

Therefore, she was not only not disgusted by the latter's performance, but also felt very kind to it.

After entering the house, Gu Nian met two people, one large and one small, at the door.

The middle-aged man, who had a thin layer of stubble on his chin and looked honest and honest, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he suddenly saw them coming in.

Wearing a junior high school uniform jacket, the thin boy was hiding behind the adults and looked at Gu Nian timidly.

Gu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering the two people in front of him.

One is her stepfather, and the other is his son Mingming with his ex-wife.

"what happened?"

Mother Gu raised her elbows, touched the man secretly, and complained in a low voice, "Didn't we agree? Ten minutes after I went downstairs, you also left the house. Why haven't you gone out yet?"

"sorry."

The man was like a kid who made a mistake, hanging his head awkwardly and explaining stammeringly, "I, I was just about to go downstairs, but I suddenly got a stomachache, so I was delayed for a while. I thought it couldn't come so fast, but I didn't expect... …”

Immediately, he raised his head and said to Gu Nian:

"Gu Nian, you're welcome. Well, I'll take the kids for a walk in the park, and you two can chat slowly."

After saying that, without expecting the other party to respond, he immediately took his son's hand and walked quickly outside.

Obviously not daring to say a word, he followed behind silently, limping along.

As the man went down the stairs, he felt annoyed in his heart:

It's over, you've caused trouble.

He knew better than anyone how much his wife valued her only daughter.

Because of their remarriage, the relationship between mother and daughter was tense.

Every time the daughter-in-law calls her daughter, the other party never gives her a good look. When I asked for a meeting, I was refused nine times out of ten.

My daughter-in-law always lamented about this, and even secretly hid on the balcony wiping her tears.

This time, Gu Nian finally agreed to come, and his wife was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

First, I posted the news on WeChat Moments, and then I was worried that my daughter wouldn’t like what they cooked, so I went to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

Knowing that Gu Nian was not happy to see him and Mingming, he took the initiative to take the children out and let them have a good meal and celebrate their birthday.
