Heartfelt Love: A Tsundere President's Pillow Pet

Chapter 161 Curiosity Killed the Cat
Regarding Gu Zongrui's reaction, Liu Xiaoru had lingering concerns but couldn't explain it directly. She collected herself and said the information she had learned in a slow voice, "Yes, I'm sure she is Xiang Wan's mother. This woman She lives in Ruihai City, but it’s just a small town, a bit far from here. I have sent people there, and I can confirm her identity.”

"No wonder, no wonder I couldn't find you no matter how I looked for it back then, so you are in this city, right by my side."

Liu Xiaoru only heard a few words of what Gu Zongrui muttered softly, but her intuition told her that there must be a story in it.Curiosity killed the cat, she couldn't help but wanted to ask, "Why, do you know each other?"

Gu Zongrui didn't seem to hear Liu Xiaoru's question, and stared at the photo for a long time without any reaction, and he didn't even notice that Liu Xiaoru got up and came to his side.

Liu Xiaoru couldn't control herself, so she quietly stood behind Gu Zongrui and looked at the photo, only to find that the photo in Gu Zongrui's hand was only Xiang Wan's mother, and the front was very clear.

It turned out that the people Gu Zongrui really cared about were not Xiang Wan and Gu Xi, but the middle-aged woman in the photo.Presumably there must have been something between them, and it left a deep imprint on Gu Zongrui's heart.

"Mr. Gu, the woman in this photo...you knew each other before?" Liu Xiaoru bent down, and involuntarily leaned towards Gu Zongrui's ear, her lips almost touching his temples.

The sound came so suddenly that Gu Zongrui couldn't help being startled.He turned his head, showing displeasure, "Why are you standing here? How bad is it for others to see?"

Liu Xiaoru stood up straight reluctantly, full of coquettishness, "Hey, you are the head of the family here, and everyone here is your servant. Your words are sacred orders in their hearts. Are you still afraid of them?" Gossiping won't work! No one will misunderstand."

The flattery hit the horse's hoof, but Gu Zongrui didn't buy it.He glared at her fiercely, took the photo, and said with a hostile tone, "How can you be so open as a girl? Is this how your parents taught you to treat your elders? In the future, I will be yours." Father-in-law is your elder, you'd better show some respect."

"Oh, this is the first time you've admitted my identity, I'm really overjoyed!" Liu Xiaoru was so excited that she almost jumped up, she clenched her hands and tried to suppress her excitement, "You are really my lucky star! Then they The two must have had a daydream this time!"

Gu Zongrui lowered his head and carefully looked at the photos on the table, and inadvertently raised his head to look at Liu Xiaoru. This woman's appearance at this time has no trace of a lady's self-restraint. Her gaffe made Gu Zongrui feel even more ridiculed. .

"Master Gu, you must keep your word!"

Gu Zongrui straightened up, with a meaningful tone, "You just need to be obedient, don't give me any more problems, and the position of daughter-in-law will naturally be reserved for you."

He slowly turned his face to the side and looked out of the window, with deep gazes in his eyes, "Even if it wasn't you, my daughter-in-law wouldn't be Xiang Wan."

Liu Xiaoru heard this clearly.The joy quickly faded, and she stood there motionless.The doubts in her eyes showed her mixed feelings at this time.She was trying to figure out what the old man in front of her said.But based on the amount of information she had, she couldn't fully guess the meaning of the words.

But at this time Liu Xiaoru made it clear that she needed more things to increase her bargaining chips.
