Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Maternal Love! All Blood… Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Maternal Love! All Blood… Evening.

Shen Yan arrived at a leisure restaurant.

Entering the private room, she finally saw the mother from the rumors.

She appeared gentle and tranquil, elegant and graceful.

Her look at Shen Yan was tender, even teary.

Such a disarming gaze made Shen Yan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Having been accustomed to Jian Yu’s strict coldness, facing a mother like Gu Ting was naturally disconcerting for Shen Yan.

“Yanyan!”

Gu Ting, with reddened eyes, stood up; before Shen Yan could even enter, Gu Ting quickly approached, scrutinizing Shen Yan up and down.

“You’ve lost weight, and your complexion isn’t too good.”

It was a far cry from that brief glimpse back in Zhuyu Village.

Shen Yan hadn’t noticed her own pallor; having been traveling outside for a month, a change in complexion was only to be expected.

“You surely haven’t been eating well. Are you still angry at Mom? Back then, you made a fuss with the family over an unrelated man and I…”

Speaking of which, Gu Ting couldn’t help but wipe away tears.

Shen Yan, watching the emotional woman, stiffened for a moment.

This was truly her first time dealing with a situation where someone would tear up at the drop of a hat.

It left her somewhat at a loss.

Seeing that Shen Yan was tight-lipped, Gu Ting thought Shen Yan was still angry with them.

She couldn’t resist wiping another tear: “It was the family’s fault for forcing you into an arranged marriage with the Qi Family…”

But that was a decision set by the elders, and until Grandma Qi’s last breath, she had hoped the two families could—like the alliance of Qin and Jin—be in-laws.

For the Shen Family, Shen Yan was the only one who qualified for an arranged marriage with the Qi Family; she was the singular choice.

“Yanyan, the mere fact that you’ve come to see Mom is already the biggest concession. Come home, the family misses you,” Gu Ting reached out and grabbed Shen Yan’s hand.

Shen Yan’s frame stiffened once again.

She instinctively withdrew her hand.

Gu Ting’s eyes reddened anew.

“It’s okay if you don’t come home,” Gu Ting thought, taking it slow, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Lao Liu said you went on a trip. Did you have fun? Why didn’t you have Qi Si accompany you?”

At Gu Ting’s gesture, Shen Yan sat down with her.

Listening to Gu Ting’s incessant chatter.

“You’re a big star now; why are you still running around alone? What if you run into danger? My Yanyan is so beautiful, there must be many people out there with their eyes on you… Mom ordered your favorite dishes!”

From the moment Shen Yan appeared until she sat down, Gu Ting never stopped talking.

The mother and daughter who hadn’t seen each other for over a year felt a bit estranged, and Gu Ting wanted to bridge that gap as quickly as possible.

“I’m very safe.”

Shen Yan replied dryly.

In her world, the role of parents was cold and strict.

Compared to one like Gu Ting, there was a great disparity.

“Still, you should bring someone with you when you go out. If you need anything, talk to Qi Si. Qi Si may seem cold, but he’s very good to you.” At least under those circumstances, he was willing to take over and care for Shen Yan.

“Mm, I’ll find him if I need to.”

The food arrived, and it was lavish.

All were the favorite dishes of the original person.

Shen Yan wasn’t picky; she could eat anything.

Gu Ting kept piling food into Shen Yan’s bowl, yet her own remained empty.

Being cared for in this way, Shen Yan felt an indescribable sense of happiness inside.

She suddenly envied the original Shen Yan.

And now, she occupied everything that had belonged to the original Shen Yan.

Shen Yan bowed her head and ate the vegetables that Gu Ting put in her bowl, without any disdain for what Gu Ting served.

Such maternal love made Shen Yan feel like a thief, always handling it with a bit of trepidation.

“Eat up, they’re all your favorites,” Gu Ting said as she watched Shen Yan, who seemed even thinner to her.

Shen Yan quietly stuffed the food into her mouth.

Gu Ting just watched Shen Yan eat.

Shen Yan was filled to the brim with her mother’s deep love, carefully cradling the overflowing affection back into her heart.

Throughout the process, most of the conversation was dominated by Gu Ting.

Shen Yan would occasionally respond.

“Have you been bullied in the entertainment industry?”

“No.”

“Have you made any friends?”

“Yes.”

“Friends from the industry? Didn’t you make any good friends at school?”

Shen Yan: “I have both.”

“If they are good friends, you can bring them home to visit.”

“Okay.”

“The family was initially opposed to you getting involved in this circle because we were worried you would be misinterpreted, and that wherever you went, whatever you did, you wouldn’t have any freedom. After all, public figures can be scrutinized by the media for even the smallest of mistakes. But now that we see you love your job, the family doesn’t have any reason to oppose it anymore,” Gu Ting added with a gentle voice.

Having eaten almost enough, Shen Yan put down her chopsticks and looked at Gu Ting, “I will take the time to visit the Shen Family.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ting’s face immediately lit up with joy: “Your dad would be thrilled if he knew! He’s been busy this time and couldn’t come to see you, but he’ll definitely visit next time.”

“It’s time I went back to see my elders and alleviate the family’s concerns. The things you’re worried about won’t happen.”

Gu Ting was taken aback.

What things?

Then something came to mind, her eyes slightly widening, suppressing her elation: “You mean… that Mu…”

“Yep, I’ve never liked that person, so you all can rest assured.”

Gu Ting carefully watched Shen Yan’s expression, seeing that she was serious, her smile grew even brighter.

It’s good not to like him.

The Shen Family had done their homework on this Mu lad; he was from the Shen City’s distinguished Mu Family, his background compatible with their daughter.

But compared to the Qi Family, they still fell short.

If this scion of the Mu Family had been good, they would have supported their daughter even if it meant breaking the marriage agreement between the two families from the start.

What they found was that this Mu lad joined the entertainment circle to chase after a woman.

A month ago, he even confessed to her.

They heard that he had brought the girl to meet the Shen City Mu Family.

So, how could the Shen Family like such a man?

With Shen Yan’s disposition at that time, being with someone like Mu Jincheng would have created endless friction.

Gu Ting ventured cautiously, “Then, do you have someone else you like now?”

Shen Yan shook her head: “No.”

Her answer was very direct.

Gu Ting said, “If you don’t have someone you like, why not try living with Qi Si for a while? You might like him eventually.”

It would be best if she could fall for him, and their marriage could proceed smoothly.

Shen Yan hummed in agreement: “I am trying to live with him.”

She couldn’t bear to make such a mother sad.

Gu Ting paused, her eyes lighting up once again!

Gu Ting smiled with eyes curving into crescents: “Qi Si is young and capable, well-matched with our family. There won’t be any family disputes in the future. Your life will be smoother, and even though Qi Si seems aloof, such a person, once married, will stay faithful to his marriage. He won’t be like those playboys who roam around outside.”

Gu Ting kept on praising Qi Si’s virtues.

Shen Yan listened in silence.

The atmosphere between mother and daughter was exceptionally good!

“Yanyan!”

While Gu Ting was talking, her expression changed drastically!

She shouted out Shen Yan’s name.

Shen Yan felt a warm stream trickle down from her nose, her vision suddenly darkening, and she nearly toppled over.

Grabbing a tissue to wipe.

It was all blood!

Dammit!

Shen Yan cursed silently.
