The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Gu Yuebai and Di Liuyue were carrying their things and were about to go upstairs.

The apartment is a walk-up building, and climbing six floors was not difficult for the two of them as they carried their belongings.

"Gu Yuebai, you've placed your mother in a neighborhood like this, without an elevator, and she has trouble walking. Aren't you being unfilial?"

"Wow, you get into character pretty quickly," Gu Yuebai mocked. "I didn't want to, but I had no choice. My family was poor before. Let alone buying a decent house, we couldn't even afford a wife's dowry. When my mother injured her leg, she worked hard to save up money to pay for it herself."

Di Liuyue looked very surprised. With Gu Yuebai's status, position, and ability, owning a house would be a piece of cake.

When his mother fell ill, Gu Yuebai couldn't even afford to pay for her medical treatment.

"Before my superpowers awakened, I was just a lowly security guard at Yunlu Mansion, earning four or five thousand yuan a month, most of which went to Li Siyi. Ugh, I was blind; seven years of relationship..."

Di Liuyue could sense from his words that he still loved his ex-girlfriend very much. It's just that that woman didn't know how to cherish it.

The two arrived at their door and knocked a few times, but no one answered.

Just as Gu Yuebai was about to call Shen Ling, a middle-aged woman walked up the corridor.

Gu Yuebai quickly went over to help her, saying with a hint of reproach, "Mom, your leg has only just healed, why are you walking around everywhere? Stay home a little longer."

Di Liuyue observed the middle-aged woman and found that she looked somewhat similar to Gu Yuebai. However, she was in her forties or fifties and looked older than her age. Nevertheless, she still had a charming appearance. In her youth, she must have been a great beauty.

Seeing a stunningly beautiful woman standing at the door, Shen Ling's heart immediately stirred. She tentatively asked Gu Yuebai, "My daughter-in-law?"

"No, she..."

Before Gu Yuebai could explain, Di Liuyue preemptively said, "Auntie, my name is Di Liuyue."

"What Liuyue?"

"Emperor, the Emperor of Emperors," Di Liuyue said patiently.

"Wow, this surname is quite rare. Come in, come in and have a seat."

Shen Ling rushed over to open the door. She was being taken care of by Lin Yue'e at the hospital and was recovering quite well; she could barely walk anymore.

At the door, Gu Yuebai deliberately stopped Di Liuyue and said, "Beautiful lady, I made everything clear to you downstairs. Have you thought it through? Once you step through this door, you'll be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. It's not too late to regret it now."

Shen Ling thought the two were flirting at the door, so she pointed at Gu Yuebai reproachfully, "You brat, what are you doing blocking Miss Liuyue at the door? Let her in quickly."

"Auntie, look at Yuebai, he's always bullying me."

Di Liuyue's coquettishness and cuteness surprised Gu Yuebai.

Is this still the same dashing and decisive Di Liuyue he knew?

Taking advantage of Gu Yuebai's inattention, she pushed Gu Yuebai's hand away, grabbed the gift, rushed into the room, and even made a face at Gu Yuebai as she turned around.

Her willful behavior left Gu Yuebai at a loss.

Upon entering, Shen Ling gestured for Di Liuyue to sit down and began chatting with her about various things.

"Go cook, I'll talk to Miss Liuyue for a while."

"Exactly. Go cook. Humph." Di Liuyue snorted, "I've known him for so long, and he's never cooked for me."

Gu Yuebai dared not disobey her mother. She put down her things and went into the kitchen. At the kitchen door, Gu Yuebai didn't forget to mouth a threat: "If you let it slip, you'll get a spanking!"

Di Liuyue immediately complained, "Auntie, look, Gu Yuebai is going to hit me again?"

Shen Ling looked up and saw Gu Yuebai with his hand outstretched. "Hey, you brat, you've got some nerve. Go cook properly."

Di Liuyue, smug and pleased with herself, wiggled her hips and waved her hands, looking quite adorable.

Gu Yuebai pouted and reluctantly went into the kitchen.

In the living room, Shen Ling held Di Liuyue's soft little hand and asked, "Miss Liuyue, how old are you?"

"26".

"Oh, that's the same size as my Yuebai. Where is that family from?"

My home is in Shanghai.

"Hucheng? That's a bit far. But it's okay, we can just let Yuebai live with you. It's better for two people to be together all the time. I'm used to living in Yuncheng, so I won't go."

Shen Ling was slightly disappointed, but she had a good attitude. She believed that her children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, and she couldn't hinder her son's happiness.

"What do your parents do?"

"My dad is a university professor, and my mom is a company employee."

"Oh, that's wonderful. No wonder this child is so well-mannered; it turns out he comes from a scholarly family."

Shen Ling was even more satisfied.

To be honest, their family almost used to be millionaires, but unfortunately...

"Sigh, speaking of which, our family used to be quite well-off. It's a pity his father passed away early, leaving my mother and me with a mess. Luckily, Yuebai bought a piece of jadeite rough a while ago and sold it for over ten million."

"So many? What kind of raw materials are so valuable?" Di Liuyue pretended not to know.

"Jadeite is the raw stone from which those jadeite bracelets are made. Before it's crafted, jadeite is hidden inside an inconspicuous stone. That stuff is very valuable now."

As she spoke, Shen Ling sighed again. In her heart, she had always felt bad about Lao Gu's death.

Seeing Shen Ling's sad expression, Di Liuyue quickly said, "Yuebai never tells me about his past. He has so much money, but yesterday when I asked him to buy me a dress, he was so stingy."

"Hey. What are you doing, kid? It's okay, Auntie will take you to the mall later. What clothes do you want? Auntie will buy them for you."

"Really! Auntie is so kind." Di Liuyue leaned on Shen Ling's shoulder, looking completely satisfied.

The two chatted in the living room, while Gu Yuebai secretly listened from the kitchen. As he listened, he began to laugh.

An hour later, Gu Yuebai had finished preparing the meal.

During the meal, Shen Ling kept putting food on Di Liuyue's plate, saying, "Liuyue, eat more. Look at you, you're still quite thin. I know you girls care about your appearance, but you still need to pay attention to your diet. Here, have some vegetables."

"That's enough, Auntie. I can't eat anymore..." Di Liuyue mumbled, her words barely audible.

Gu Yuebai also put a chicken leg on her plate, saying, "Eat more meat to replenish what you need."

Upon hearing this, Di Liuyue was extremely displeased. She puffed out her chest, "Do I need to replenish it?"

"So wild!" Shen Ling slapped Gu Yuebai. "You brat, how dare you talk about a girl like that?"

"Exactly. He's always criticizing me. He's always finding fault with me, saying I need to fix this and that."

Di Liuyue was fanning the flames from the sidelines.

"Di Liuyue, you just wait. You're trying to sue me for something?"

The family is enjoying a harmonious time together.

After the dinner, Gu Yuebai and her mother Shen Ling were washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Son, I think this girl is quite nice. I like her very much. You and Lin Yue'e must stop seeing each other."

"I know, I know. I'll take Liuyue with me later to talk to her and explain things."

"That's good, to avoid misunderstandings. Her husband always hits her because of you."
