Huo Yiwen knew perfectly well that Mu Anhan was present, yet she brought this up. Isn’t it just to cause discord between them?
Before Gu Xiaozhan could speak, Gu Zhentao immediately expressed his displeasure: "You already have a good wife like An Han. Why bother with orientation issues?"
Mu Anhan also widened her eyes, looking at Gu Xiaozhan, seemingly waiting for him to explain.
Of course, it was Lu Lu who revealed it. She just wanted conflict between Mu Anhan and Gu Xiaozhan.
"How did mom find out about this?" Gu Xiaozhan asked knowingly.
Huo Yiwen snorted: "Everyone at your company knows. It’s no surprise I know too."
"Mom is really thoughtful, always keeping up with gossip from my company." Gu Xiaozhan responded lightly.
He even served food for Mu Anhan, seemingly unwilling to respond to the orientation issue.
"You’re my son. If I don’t care about you, whom should I care about?" Huo Yiwen pressed further, "Tell me, what’s going on exactly? How can you do something to betray An Han?"
She seemed to be genuinely defending Mu Anhan, but in reality, she continued to sow discord.
Gu Xiaozhan looked at Mu Anhan: "Han Han, do you believe in the company’s rumors?"
"Honey, you already said they are rumors. Why would I believe them?" Mu Anhan replied sweetly with a smile.
Gu Xiaozhan shrugged, "Mom, see, my wife doesn’t believe them. Why do you?"
Huo Yiwen: "..."
Gu Zhentao also said, "It’s just someone jealous of the good relationship between the young couple, deliberately saying unpleasant things!"
"Dad knows best." Mu Anhan gave him a thumbs up.
While eating, she also reminded Gu Zhentao to remember to have his follow-up checks regularly.
Throughout the meal, Huo Yiwen and Lu Lu felt neglected.
Both felt extremely displeased.
After the meal, they all started drinking tea.
Mu Anhan held Gu Zhentao’s examination report and reviewed it, reminding him which aspects to pay attention to and the matters to notice in the next follow-up.
Huo Yiwen said to Gu Xiaozhan: "Lu Lu hasn’t visited for a while. You should take her out for a walk."
"I’d rather listen to Han Han talk about dad’s health!" Gu Xiaozhan understood her intention, "I come back so rarely, how can I not care about dad?"
Gu Zhentao wasn’t senile either, "It’s rare you care, shows why you’re my favorite."
Lu Lu immediately added, "Uncle Gu’s health is most important. I’ll listen too and see if there’s anything I can help with?"
"Lu Lu is kind-hearted. Your dad has had surgery too, you should spend more time with him." Gu Zhentao replied kindly.
Since returning to the country, Lu Lu hadn’t visited her father after the first time.
Hearing this now felt particularly jarring.
After Mu Anhan finished reviewing the report, Gu Xiaozhan took her out for a walk.
Lu Lu wanted to join, and Gu Xiaorui also returned from outside, and the four of them went to stroll around the villa together.
Gu Xiaozhan and Mu Anhan walked in front, while Lu Lu and Gu Xiaorui walked behind, gradually lagging behind.
Lu Lu naturally wanted to curry favor with her sister-in-law, "Xiao Rui, it’s been five years since we last met, you’ve become even prettier!"
"Sister Lu is the same," Gu Xiaorui looked at her, "Sister Lu, are you living in the country now?"
"That’s my plan." Lu Lu nodded, "Now Pei Zhe is the president, and he’s my dad’s godson. I want to contribute something to the country too."
She was a woman full of schemes, knowing well that Gu Xiaorui liked Pei Zhe. Mentioning him now was just to form an alliance with Gu Xiaorui against Mu Anhan.
