Chapter 136 - A Hot Potato (2) (1/2)
Xu Weilai closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She placed the clothes in her hands down and hesitated for a moment before getting up and walking out of the room.
The moment she stepped into the living room, she saw a figure standing by the entrance and did a double-take. It wasn’t Gu Yu, but… Mrs. Lin?
Just as Xu Weilai heaved a sigh of relief, she was suddenly overcome with doubt. Ever since she had moved into the apartment, no one aside from Gu Yu ever came. What was Mrs. Lin doing here all of a sudden?
Mrs. Lin was equally surprised to see her as if she hadn’t expected that Xu Weilai would be in the apartment. She quickly pasted a smile on her face and asked, “Young Mistress, were you just discharged from the hospital?”
As she spoke, she changed into a pair of indoor slippers. Dragging her luggage behind her, she then entered the apartment. She first greeted Xu Weilai out of respect before explaining her presence. “Young Mistress, Mr. Gu Sr. sent me here to take care of the daily chores for you and Young Master. In the future, I’ll be living here too.”
Honestly speaking, her heart had skipped a beat once Xu Weilai noticed her luggage as an ominous premonition had come over her. Indeed, her gut instinct had turned out to be right.
If she and Gu Yu were the only two people living in the apartment, it wouldn’t have mattered whether or not Gu Yu came back. In any case, she couldn’t be bothered. However, with Mrs. Lin living with them, they would both have to keep up the charade of being a happily married couple. Otherwise, Grandpa Gu would be disappointed to find out that she and Gu Yu were merely putting on an act…
Alternatively, Mrs. Lin could have been sent over by Grandpa Gu in the first place to keep an eye on them!
Even though Grandpa Gu meant well, this still put a massive amount of pressure on her…
At that very moment, Xu Weilai found it hard to smile. Afraid that Mrs. Lin would sense something was amiss, she quickly lowered her head and smoothened her hair to hide her emotions.
“I see. How thoughtful of Grandpa!”
