Chapter 58
Overwhelmed.
"I know what I said is a bit abrupt, but I really want to say... I like you, Gu Chen."
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard An Ranzhi's sudden words. This kind of emotional matter is really difficult to deal with, as it was then and now.
"Xiao An, we are two people from different worlds, I really don't deserve you, so..."

Gu Chen didn't want to hurt An Ranzhi's heart, so he couldn't refuse directly, but could only express his intentions tactfully.
An Ranzhi seemed to know the result, tears rolled down his face trying not to let it stay, and said: "Gu Chen, do you already have someone you like in your heart? Not being together means that you just can't forget this memory, I believe that you can take you out of this relationship."
Gu Chen didn't expect that An Ranzhi, who looked like a little girl, could see it so thoroughly. He was at a loss for words for a while and didn't know how to answer, so he said after a long while: "Xiao An, I have someone I like, but we have already broken up. This time It's impossible to like anyone in the future, so don't waste time on me, okay?"
"Gu Chen, I'm pursuing someone I like, so it's not a waste of time, but I think it's very meaningful, but since you said you have someone you like but broke up, I believe I can wait until the day you fall in love with me I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes."
Unexpectedly, An Ran's character was so strong that Gu Chen couldn't answer.
"Gu Chen, don't make things difficult, we can do whatever we want, but I want you to know that I like you and can wait for you, but I won't force you."
After An Ranzhi finished speaking, she ran towards her own direction, leaving Gu Chen alone in this gradually darkening world, at a loss for what to do.
"—"
Time passed quickly, and the end of the month came quietly.As a passenger plane landed and walked out of the security checkpoint, an extravagant woman wearing a blue dress attracted some attention from the crowd. People around looked at this stylishly dressed woman wearing a pair of black sunglasses from time to time.
She is Hu Peidong's mother, Qiao Xin. Although she is over 40 years old, she is only in her early thirties judging from her appearance and temperament.
"Mom here!"
Hu Peidong had been waiting for his mother at the airport early in the morning. It had been three years since he saw her and he was a little excited when he saw her suddenly.
"Did baby miss mom?"
Regardless of other people's gazes, Qiao Xin walked up to Hu Peidong and hugged his son who was a head taller than him.
"Mom, there are a lot of people at the airport...it's not as open as the United States, let me go..."
"Hey, you little bastard, what does it matter if you haven't seen your mother hug your son for several years?"
Qiao Xin let go of Hu Peidong and said loudly.
"Okay, okay...I was wrong, mom, let's go back quickly, have you found a hotel to live in? I just opened a hotel there for you to stay in for free~"
"Stinky boy, if you don't live with me, do you have other mothers? Or that old fox Hu Zhentian hooked up some concubines to be your stepmothers?"
"..."
Hu Peidong was speechless and hurriedly urged: "Why, hurry back and catch you!"
Along the way, Qiao Xin kept looking at the scenery outside the window, and sighed: "I didn't expect that everything has changed since I haven't been back for three years. Son, you have grown a lot taller."
"Mom, what's the matter with you when you come back this time?"
Hu Peidong asked Qiao Xin while driving. In fact, he probably could guess something, but just wanted to hear Qiao Xin say it. His fingers pretended to be relaxed and rhythmic on the steering wheel.
Qiao Xin also looked at Hu Peidong seriously and said, "I came back this time for your lifelong event. In the past three years, I know that you have been wronged, but another child has been wronged even more than you."
Hu Peidong knew who Qiao Xin was talking about. In fact, he had already told Qiao Xin about himself and Gu Chen, and Qiao Xin did not object to the idea of open education in the United States. Gu Chen liked it very much in his heart, and knew that they really loved each other!
But she didn't expect to be involved in Lin Shanshan's incident. Qiao Xin also suspected that there was something wrong with this incident, so she deliberately waited until she had time to come back. This wait will be three years later...
"I know I'm sorry for Gu Chen, but I saw that Shanshan lost her legs because of me. I really can't leave her alone..."
Hu Peidong felt uncomfortable when he thought of this, it was a pain in his heart, a pain that others could not understand.
"I came back just for this. I don't know what Lin Shanshan's virtues are? Have you forgotten the vicious thoughts you two played with her when you were young? I think this time it's almost a bitter trick she used."
Qiao Xin has a straightforward personality, but she doesn't know what kind of people to deal with. If she trusts 100%, she will be delicious and unobtrusive, otherwise she will pretend very well.
"Mom, don't make wild guesses. Shanshan's legs have been unable to walk for three years. Is there any reason for this? You will live here for a while when you come back this time. By the way, I will go to a rural area in the suburbs in a few days. The local development of tourism projects, when the time comes, I can take you there to relax, the scenery over there is really good."
"Okay, let's go home and have a good rest first, your old lady is jet lagged! It's really daylight before boarding the plane, and it's daytime again after flying for more than ten hours! I'm so sleepy."
"Okay, mom, go to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get there."
"Um"
As Qiao Xin spoke, she leaned aside and fell asleep. Hu Peidong drove the car but thought of that person, a person who dare not recall...
I don't recognize this daughter-in-law
102 I don't recognize this daughter-in-law
Hu Peidong and Qiao Xin went back to the hotel and arranged a room for their mother to sleep well after jet lag.
"Mom, just sleep here for a while and Shanshan will come over to have dinner with you at night."
Hu Peidong put the suitcase away and said to Qiao Xin.
"Well, if you have something to do, go and do it first. I'm so sleepy, I'll go and catch up on it before I talk."
Hu Peidong walked out of the room and called Lin Shanshan, saying that he would have dinner with his mother at night, and then went to work on his own affairs.
After Qiao Xin woke up at night, he wandered around the hotel, looking at the hotel that belonged to his son.
"Dongchen Hotel?"
Qiao Xin thought that there was a Chen in the boy's name that Hu Peidong kept telling her, could it be named after the two of them?It seems that Xiaodong must not have forgotten him. This matter is related to the happiness of his son's life, so he must be cautious.
Then Qiao Xin made a phone call and said, "What's the result, little brother? Alright... I see, I'll investigate as soon as possible to see if there's anything tricky about it. My son's happiness can't be ambiguous!"
Until he hung up the phone, Qiao Xin was looking at the name of the hotel in thought.
"Mom, why did you run out? I couldn't find you in your room, why is the phone still busy?"
Hu Peidong ran out of the hotel and saw Qiao Xin standing under the hotel, not knowing what to do.
"I woke up and went out for a walk when I felt that I had nothing to do. Have you finished your work?"
Qiao Xin resumed his usual relaxed expression.
"Well, I've found someone to arrange a table of dishes for you. Dad and brother also said that they will come later, so let's go in quickly. Shanshan has already followed me."
"Oh? Zhou Zhentian is here too? He's not busy with his own business anymore."
Qiao Xin obviously still had some resentment towards Zhou Zhentian, and his expression looked a bit disdainful.
"Dad has changed a lot in the past few years. Every New Year's Eve, he won't be busy outside. No matter how busy he is, he will go home to spend the New Year with us. Mom, when you see Dad, don't hate him..."
"It's none of my business. I came back this time just to see my son, and it has nothing to do with him. Besides, I already have a new family abroad, and I don't want to take care of things here except you."
"Okay~ I know Mom loves me the most, so let's go in quickly?"
It was rare for Hu Peidong to speak childishly to his mother, and Qiao Xin seemed very happy to follow him into the hotel.
Lin Shanshan has been sitting in it for a long time, and she is actually a little bored of living in a wheelchair for the past three years, but the mentality of what she has not got drives her to endure it.
"In another month, I will be able to marry Pei Dong for real! I will get what I want no matter how much I pay!"
"Shanshan, I brought my mother here. Do you still know her? You should have seen her when you were a child, but you don't remember her either."
Hu Peidong pushed open the door of the room and asked Shanshan.
Lin Shanshan was looking at the scenery outside the window, heard the sound and turned the wheelchair, and saw Hu Peidong's mother coming in with him.But looking at her, she seems quite indifferent?Is it to yourself?
Lin Shanshan thought about pushing the wheelchair to come to them and said with a smile: "Auntie, we haven't seen each other for many years, you still have such a temperament that it seems that you haven't changed much, so beautiful~"
"Thank you for the compliment"
Lin Shanshan was dismissed with only these four words, and then sat at the dining table looking at her mobile phone. Lin Shanshan was a little stunned. Pei Dong's mother seemed to hate her?Hu Peidong hurried forward and said, "Shanshan, come and sit down, my mother is jet-lagged and a little tired."
"It's okay, auntie, take a rest tonight."
Lin Shanshan said with a smile, but Qiao Xin didn't agree with her.
At this moment, Hu Peidong's phone rang.
"Hey dad, I'm in room 202, yes, you and brother can come in directly."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Zhentian and Hu Peifeng opened the door and walked in.
Qiao Xin stared at Hu Zhentian who hadn't seen him for three years, but immediately returned to his previous appearance.
"You're back home."
Hu Zhentian looked at Qiao Xin and asked.
"Um"
"Come back this time and play here for a while before leaving?"
"Definitely."
Qiao Xin doesn't seem to want to talk to Hu Zhentian
