Chapter 160 : Get Back To Me Quickly!

Mu Lanshu trembled, covering her chest, her face turned pale.

Even if she was suspended, she didn't come back to tell her.

So during this period, Gu Nian went out early and came back late, and even used the excuse of working overtime for a few days. Where did she live?

Mu Lanshu had a suspicion in her mind, but she was unwilling to admit it or even think about it.

"What a sin! What a sin!" Mu Lanshu stood up and rushed back to her bedroom.

She took out the iron box hidden under the bed and took out a picture frame with a photo of a young man in the frame.

At that time, he was still green, wearing the camouflage uniform issued by the police academy, half-crouching on the rock. The wind on the top of the mountain blew his hair into an unruly mess.

The young man squinted his eyes and smiled with high spirits.

The photo was a bit old, the color was a little yellowish, and it was not as full as it was now.

The photo frame was from that period and was not as fashionable as today. The photo was held down by solid glass, which had a lot of weight.

Mu Lanshu's eyes turned red and she slammed the photo frame to the ground.

The old and fragile wooden photo frame had a corner broken, with incomplete dents, and the glass surface also shattered.

"Gu Licheng! It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Wuwuwuwuwuwu..." Mu Lanshu stared at the photo of Gu Licheng when he was young, and suddenly raised her feet and moved like crazy stepping on it.

That year, the police arrested eight people and two escaped.

Gu Licheng was one of them.

Up to now, she still didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

After Gu Licheng left that year, she never heard from Gu Licheng again.

She really would rather Gu Licheng was dead, and even if he was alive, he would never come back again.

It took her so long to get rid of the shadow of the past. She didn't want Gu Licheng's incident to affect Gu Nian.

Gu Nian insisted on being a policeman, maybe there was some inheritance in her bones.

But once Gu Licheng's case was exposed, Gu Nian's career was over.

Not only the career, but also the belief that Gu Nian relied on will collapse.

There were also the looks, opinions, and accusations from people around her.

Moreover...Chu Zhaoyang...

How come she was with Chu Zhaoyang?

There were so many men, how come she met Chu Zhaoyang by such a coincidence?

Mu Lanshu never thought that her daughter, who had been together for 24 years, would one day cheat her again and again.

Just for Chu Zhaoyang?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Mu Lanshu became. Unable to suppress the fire in her heart, she took out her phone.

***

In the evening, Gu Nian wanted to go home.

Nanny Yu made her a tonic soup in the afternoon, but she didn't know if it was too tonic. Gu Nian's stomach was always warm and she didn't feel hungry.

She wanted to go back to have dinner with Mu Lanshu, so she didn't stay.

Although Chu Zhaoyang was reluctant to part with her, she also knew that Mu Lanshu was the only one in her family.

Chu Zhaoyang didn't say anything and went straight to get his coat and put it on.

This was to send her home.

Gu Nian obediently followed him out the door. Before entering the elevator, Gu Nian's phone rang.

She took it out and found that it was Mu Lanshu's phone number.

"Wait a minute, let me answer the phone first." Gu Nian said, but Chu Zhaoyang didn't press the elevator button yet.

Gu Nian answered the phone: "Mom, I'm going back now."

"Where are you now?" Mu Lanshu asked.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Mu Lanshu's tone seemed to be a lot cooler.

Gu Nian took a few breaths in confusion and tentatively said, "I just got off work and am about to go back."

"Gu Nian!" Mu Lanshu suddenly called out sternly, including her first and last name.

Gu Nian's breath caught in her throat and she released it nervously.

Every time Mu Lanshu got really angry, she would call her this.

What on earth made Mu Lanshu so angry?

Gu Nian subconsciously looked at Chu Zhaoyang, as if asking for help.

But she also knew that Chu Zhaoyang didn't know anything at all and couldn't help her at all.

"Mom, what happened?" Gu Nian swallowed and asked nervously.

"How long are you going to lie to me? I didn't know that my daughter would lie to me when she grew up! I've been thinking about how many other things you have lied to me about!"

Gu Nian looked across the phone. Everyone could clearly feel Mu Lanshu's deep anger and disappointment.

Gu Nian looked at Chu Zhaoyang with a pale face and asked in a panic: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"You haven't worked at the police station for a month. During this period, you went out early and came back late every day, or even stayed up at night. You told me you were working overtime, where did you go?" Mu Lanshu asked.

"Mom, you——"

"How do I know?" Mu Lanshu interrupted her, really angry, "Today Yan Chuwei came home with a gift and said she wanted to visit you. Telling me that you have been suspended from work for a month . Do you know that I know nothing and am like a fool. My old face was slapped by her words, it really hurts!"

Gu Nian was stunned, not knowing how to explain it to Mu Lanshu.

What did Yan Chuwei want to do?

"Mom, I——"

"Where are you now? Tell me the truth!" Mu Lanshu raised her voice and asked sharply.

Gu Nian looked at Chu Zhaoyang, thinking that Mu Lanshu was so angry, she couldn't say anything.

"Is it at Chu Zhaoyang's place?" Mu Lanshu said angrily.

Gu Nian was not surprised that Yan Chuwei also told Chu Zhaoyang.

Unable to hide it, Gu Nian could only nod and whisper, "Yes."

"Gu Nian, I worked hard to bring you up, and we are the only two who depend on each other for life. This is how you lied to me for 24 years?" Mu Lanshu cried and said, finally unable to hold back, tears came out, and her voice was choked with sobs.

"Mom." Gu Nian said anxiously, "I was wrong. I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I was just afraid that you would worry."

"Then do you know how I felt when Yan Chuwei came to my door and told me all this? I was like a fool! I don't know anything about my daughter, and I was slapped in the face by an outsider's words. You, do you think I won't worry because I found out after the fact? Gu Nian, do you still think of me as a mother in your eyes?"

"I'm sorry." Gu Nian also burst into tears.

"Get back here right now! A young girl runs to a man every day and even lives there. You are so shameless! Come back here!" Mu Lanshu shouted uncontrollably.

"I didn't...didn't do anything shameless." Gu Nian's face turned pale.

Mu Lanshu's words were like a knife, scratching her face.

It seemed...as if she has really done something that did not respect her own self-respect.

But then she thought that she and Chu Zhaoyang seemed to have done everything except the last step.

Especially when she was in the hospital last night, Gu Nian felt again, was she really shameless?

Just like Mu Lanshu said.

"Get back to me quickly!" Mu Lanshu said angrily.

After spending several nights at the man's house, they were all grown men and women.

Chu Zhaoyang was still in his prime, how could he do nothing?

If it were any other man, Mu Lanshu would not be inconsiderate. The children were already old and she would not be able to take care of anything. As long as she did not let herself suffer, Gu Nian could control those things by herself.

But now, the person she was caring about was Chu Zhaoyang, how could she remain calm?

"I'll go back right away." As soon as Gu Nian finished speaking, Mu Lanshu hung up the phone.

Gu Nian trembled and heard Chu Zhaoyang ask: "What's wrong?"

Gu Nian then looked at Chu Zhaoyang in confusion: "Yan Chuwei went to see my mother, and she knew everything about us. I was suspended from work for a month, and I have been with you all the time. I lied to her about working overtime. In fact, I live here, my mother...she knows it all."

Chu Zhaoyang held her hand and pressed the elevator button: "I'll go back with you."

Hearing Chu Zhaoyang's calm voice, he stood steadily beside him. Gu Nian suddenly felt like she had a backbone, as if she had someone to rely on. Slowly, her heart calmed down.

If Chu Zhaoyang went back with her and showed his sincerity, Mu Lanshu will feel relieved and won't think of the worst.

At least, it could make Mu Lanshu feel at ease.

Chu Zhaoyang was really trustworthy.

The originally cold hands gradually warmed up as he wrapped them in his palms.

A wave of confidence seemed to be transmitted through his hands.

Gu Nian's mind was a little empty at this time. With Chu Zhaoyang here, she didn't seem to have to worry about anything, and she felt very peaceful.

Following Chu Zhaoyang into the elevator, watching him press the button, and then got into the car with him.

They walked on the road for a long time, and Gu Nian suddenly realized that today, she was taking Chu Zhaoyang back to meet her parents.
