BXBX NOVEL Chapter 335 - 336: Are you performing in a Qiong Yao Drama?
The old grandfather heard about Gu Mingzhu’s discomfort.
His face befell with worry, “How come she’s suddenly unwell? Is it serious? I must go and see her.”
Gu Zhaohan stated, “It’s alright, mom has already gone to rest.”
The old grandfather, afraid of disturbing Gu Mingzhu, refrained from going.
However, concern was still etched on his face.
Xia Yangyang, on the other hand, felt uneasy.
Because she suspected that Gu Mingzhu was in a bad mood because she had accidentally shattered her beloved orchid plant.
The old grandfather said, “Alright, let’s eat dinner first.”
After dinner, Xia Yangyang went back to her room.
She was laden with worries throughout the night.
In the end, she couldn’t help but tell Gu Qichen, “You should go see your sister.
I shattered her orchid today, I’m afraid she might be angry with me.”
Gu Qichen gave a small chuckle, “Sis isn’t that petty.”
Nevertheless, Gu Qichen still went to check on Gu Mingzhu in her room.
Xia Yangyang initially didn’t want to go.
But she felt she owed Gu Mingzhu an apology.
So, after only a short while, she headed to Gu Mingzhu’s room as well.
The door was closed, Xia Yangyang knocked a few times, but no one answered.
Just as Xia Yangyang was about to leave, she saw two figures on the terrace.
It was Gu Qichen and Gu Mingzhu.
Xia Yangyang walked over.
Gu Mingzhu was still tending to her plants and flowers.
Gu Qichen held a pot of flowers, saying, “Sis, if you like these, I can bring back a few more for you. Yangyang didn’t mean to.”
Gu Mingzhu turned around, “I know, it was my carelessness, I’m not blaming her.”
“Then why did you skip dinner, saying you were unwell? We were all concerned about you.”
Gu Mingzhu suddenly stood up, her face solemn, “Ah Chen, if your sister doesn’t like Yangyang, would you leave her?”
Her words caused Gu Qichen’s expression to harden.
Gu Qichen asked calmly, “You used to like Yangyang quite a bit, what happened?”
Gu Mingzhu’s face flickered but she deliberately avoided Gu Qichen’s probing gaze.
Gu Mingzhu let out a soft laugh, “It was just a joke. Ah Chen, you know your sister will always be on your side.”
When Xia Yangyang heard this, she was stunned.
It felt as if something in her heart sank.
She quickly turned around and ran away.
Xia Yangyang felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
Gu Mingzhu said she didn’t like her, even asked Gu Qichen if he would leave her.
Why?
Even though Gu Mingzhu later said it was just a joke.
But Xia Yangyang could tell, it was not just a joke, but a test.
But Gu Mingzhu was clearly kind and caring to her in the past.
It couldn’t possibly be because of the orchid plant.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t understand.
Xia Yangyang felt extremely upset.
And she didn’t want to go back to her room.
She decided to go down to the courtyard, wanting to be alone for a while.
There was a large locust tree in the backyard with a swing tied to it.
It seemed quite old.
Xia Yangyang sat on the swing, lost in thought.
Xia Yangyang found it all very weird.
Clearly Gu Mingzhu knew her mother, but she insisted on denying it.
And now her attitude towards Yangyang was also quite uncharacteristic.
What on earth was happening?
After a while, Xia Yangyang felt a wet sensation on her ankle.
Upon looking down, Oscar was licking her foot.
Xia Yangyang squatted down, wrapping her arms around Oscar’s head. Unable to express the injustice in her heart, she lamented, “Oscar, tell me why. Why, why, why?”
Suddenly, a quiet chuckle came from a distance.
Xia Yangyang lifted her head, and saw Gu Zhaohan walking over at a leisure pace.
“Xia Yangyang, so are you acting out a Qiong Yao drama now?”
