And because she thought of Gu Nian and Mu Lanshu, her facial features were a little distorted with anger, which looked scary.
***
By this time, the Gu family had finished their meal.
Gu Licheng was holding the little guy and studying the smart watch with him.
They were entering the phone numbers of their family members one by one, and then let the little guy try to dial them one by one.
At this time, the doorbell at home rang.
Mu Lanshu went to turn on the video intercom and saw Yang Ruixue appearing on the screen.
She was wet all over, even her hair was soaked.
Mu Lanshu was startled.
"Uncle Gu!" Yang Ruixue called pitifully through the camera.
With her like this, Mu Lanshu had no choice but to frown and open the door.
After a while, Yang Ruixue almost stumbled out of the elevator and reached the door.
The rainwater on her hair and clothes were still dripping down.
As soon as she entered the door, it dripped onto the mat at the door, immediately staining a large area of dark color.
As Yang Ruixue walked in, the rainwater on her body and hair also dripped on the floor.
Yang Ruixue felt cold all over, and felt indescribably comfortable by the warmth in the room.
She looked around at the warmth in the living room. The Gu family was reunited, and the little one was playing with the watch on his wrist on the sofa.
Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang stood together, looking at her warily and displeasingly, as if blaming her for intruding and disturbing their lives.
Mu Lanshu's face was expressionless, but there was still displeasure and rejection in her eyes.
Only Gu Licheng, she couldn't see anything.
It was hard to tell whether he was distressed, unhappy, or angry.
The rainwater on her body accumulated in a small puddle on the floor. Mu Lanshu raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
"Ruixue, why did you come here suddenly? You didn't even bring an umbrella?" Gu Licheng asked gently.
Gu Nian looked at Yang Ruixue sarcastically, knowing that it was raining but not bringing an umbrella. Who did she want to see her like this?
"I didn't notice, so I rushed over." Yang Ruixue said weakly, her face even paler under the bright light of the living room, "Uncle Gu, why don't you go to our place..."
Gu Licheng was unhappy in his heart, but his face remained unchanged: "I told you before, I want to spend time with my family."
They were not his, so why should he be there on their birthday?
"But my mother cooked a big table of dishes, and there were only two of us at home. It was really deserted. When I saw my mother, I felt like..." Their home was so deserted, but here they were so peaceful and happy. Why!
How could they be so selfish!
It was a birthday, so what?
Gu Licheng didn't reply to her, but called his driver directly: "It's so late at night, I have to trouble you to come and send someone home"
"Uncle Gu!" Yang Ruixue didn't expect that Gu Licheng would drive her away just after she arrived and before she said a few words.
Gu Licheng turned to Mu Lanshu and said, "Take Ruixue to blow dry her hair and change clothes. Give her an umbrella, Xiao Yang will be there in a moment."
"Uncle Gu, do you want to drive me away? Please, come with me, even if it's just to show your face." Yang Ruixue begged, refusing to leave despite her wet body.
Gu Licheng frowned, turned cold, and said coldly: "In the past years, I have never gone to celebrate your birthday with you or your mother, and there is no reason to make an exception this year. Why do you just come here and ask me to celebrate birthday? To me, you two are the wive and daughter of my deceased colleague, nothing else. I don't interfere in your lives. Why should I leave my family to accompany you guys today? What's the point?"
"No... no..." Yang Ruixue cried all of a sudden, "Auntie and Sister Gu can go together, that is, we can have fun together. We... My mother and I also want to be with Auntie and Sister Gu, as friends."
Gu Licheng suddenly smiled softly, his smile was still elegant, but it made Yang Ruixue tremble unexpectedly.
"If it's really just like this, how can I disagree?" Gu Licheng said in a smooth voice.
Yang Ruixue moved her mouth, and her body that had just warmed up suddenly became cold again, feeling cold from the inside out.
"Miss Yang, you'd better go change your clothes. Just wear my clothes." Gu Nian interrupted them and stopped dwelling on the topic.
Then, she went back to the bedroom and took out a set of clothes for Yang Ruixue.
Yang Ruixue grabbed her clothes and tightened her hands before following Mu Lanshu.
When she came out again, her body was dry and her hair was blow-dried.
But her face was still pale, looking pitiful to them.
At this time, the driver Xiao Yang also came.
Gu Licheng then said: "Send Miss Yang back and into the house to ensure Miss Yang's safety."
Don't let her run away halfway.
Xiao Yang immediately understood the meaning of Gu Licheng's words: "Yes."
Yang Ruixue walked to the door and paused.
She turned around, bit her lip, and said fragilely: "Uncle Gu, I'm sorry to disturb you. I know you don't like it, I just... I just can't stand my mother alone. I just hope she can be happy on her birthday. "
Gu Licheng didn't say anything. Yang Ruixue lowered his head slightly, smiled helplessly and said, "Then...I'm going back."
Yang Ruixue turned around and was about to leave, but stopped again.
Gu Nian rolled her eyes inwardly. She still had not finish it. If she had something to say, wouldn't it be better to finish it all at once?
Seeing that Yang Ruixue was about to speak but hesitated, she was cautious.
After struggling for a while, she said: "Uncle Gu, next Saturday, our music school will have a report meeting. Each of our departments will go on stage to give reports and performances. At the same time, there will also be judges and teachers below to give scores. If the score is high, one can still being selected into the Philharmonic Orchestra."
"I will definitely work hard to get in." Yang Ruixue said, "I wonder if Uncle Gu, Auntie Gu, and Sister Gu will be free that day to watch my performance together? With you guys watching, I can be more successful and confidence."
