Chapter 510: Eating Little

She?

Qiao Ruoxing frowned, "Who is she?"

Gu Jingyan didn't speak for a long time. Just when Qiao Ruoxing thought he was asleep, Gu Jingyan whispered, "My mother."

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned.

When Gu Jingyan was awake, he never said a bad word about Zhong Meilan in front of her.

He was very traditional in his bones. Elders were elders. Even if they were bad, he would not say these things in front of others.

As an outsider, Qiao Ruoxing could feel Zhong Meilan's partiality. As a party involved, how could Gu Jingyan not notice it?

Take Zhong Meilan's European tour last year as an example. She and her friends went there for more than a month, and they all used Gu Jingyan's secondary card.

Gu Jingyan was a big customer of the bank. The bank would send someone to deliver the monthly bill of his personal account every month.

This bill was usually signed by Qiao Ruoxing because she had the habit of keeping accounts for the expenses of the two.

For example, how much did she spend on luxury goods this month, how much did she spend on food, how much did she spend on daily necessities, how much did she spend on gifts for relatives and friends’ weddings and funerals, etc., she had to write down every single thing.

In this way, it is clear at a glance which month and which category exceeded the limit, and she can reduce it a little next month to maintain the overall balance.

The month when Zhong Meilan went out to play, Gu Jingyan’s bill almost exploded.

In that month, she spent more than 10 million on the European tour.

The bank’s bill is very clear, and most of her money was spent on duty-free shops and some luxury stores abroad.

Moreover, many things are even repeated purchases, such as a skin care product worth 10,000 yuan. You can buy two or three bottles, just stock up, enough for a year, but she buys 20 or 30 bottles at a time, just like wholesale.

Qiao Ruoxing felt very strange, but it was not easy to tell Gu Jingyan directly, because the improper wording would make her, a daughter-in-law, complain about her mother-in-law spending her husband’s money.

So she didn’t tell him directly, and after doing the monthly expenses, she sent it to Gu Jingyan.

The next morning, when I got up and went downstairs, I heard Gu Jingyan talking on the phone with Zhong Meilan.

I don’t know if Gu Jingyan asked Zhong Meilan what she bought with the more than 10 million yuan. I saw him talking for a while and then asked her what gifts she wanted.

Zhong Meilan was about to return to China, so she wanted to bring them gifts.

Qiao Ruoxing said, it’s all right.

Then, Zhong Meilan did bring gifts back, for both her and Gu Jingyan.

The one for Gu Jingyan was a belt worth more than 10,000 yuan from a certain brand.

The one for her was a black swan necklace from Swarovski.

When she opened the gift, Gu Jingyan was sitting next to her. When they saw the necklace, they were both silent.

In order to save face for his mother, Gu Jingyan praised her, "It’s pretty good."

Not long after, the family went to the old house for a small gathering.

It was a bit cold to wear short sleeves at the end of September, but that day, Gu Jingyang wore a suspender skirt contrary to her usual behavior.

The bracelet on her wrist and the necklace under her neck were very dazzling, so the second aunt praised them.

Then Gu Jingyang said proudly, "My mother brought them to me when she went abroad."

Qiao Ruoxing thought about Gu Jingyan's belt and her own necklace worth two or three hundred yuan, and she had indigestion after eating a meal.

Gu Jingyan's face was not very good, but he was his son, so he didn't say anything after all.

Later, Qiao Ruoxing found out what Zhong Meilan bought dozens of bottles of expensive face cream for - her birthday was coming soon, and the face cream was a gift she prepared for the wives.

Spending her son's money, the gifts for her son and daughter-in-law were not as expensive as her vanity and the gifts she gave to others. This is Zhong Meilan.

Others are all dependent on their parents, but Zhong Meilan is dependent on her children.

She always felt that in Zhong Meilan's eyes, Gu Jingyan was her ATM.

Gu Jingyan was sick, Gu Jingyan had a conflict with others and was detained. Every time, she could find various reasons for not being able to be there.

Only when she needed money could she pick up the rare family affection and perfunctorily deal with Gu Jingyan.

She couldn't help but want to complain in front of Gu Jingyan several times, but she took it back when the words came to her lips.

At that time, her relationship with Gu Jingyan was not stable. What's the difference between saying these words and provoking the relationship between mother and son?

Gu Jingyan was like a taciturn person. He usually didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, he knew everything.

Qiao Ruoxing poked his eyebrows, "You mean, your mother only likes money and doesn't like you?"

Gu Jingyan closed his eyes and whispered after a while, "She doesn't love anyone, whether it's me or my dad."

Qiao Ruoxing paused and said half-jokingly, "She is still good to your sister. That set of Cartier jewelry is thousands of times more expensive than my Black Swan."

Gu Jingyan didn't know what he thought of and laughed.

Qiao Ruoxing pinched his face, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Jingyan said, "So you took the necklace I gave you to piss her off?"

Qiao Ruoxing was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was talking about the birthday party.

Qiao Ruoxing also laughed, obviously remembering Zhong Meilan's funny expression at that time. She nudged his nose, "You insisted on giving it to her that day, didn't you ever think about that scene?"

Gu Jingyan smiled, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I did it on purpose."

Qiao Ruoxing whispered "childish".

Gu Jingyan laughed for a long time before saying, "I don't care if she doesn't like me or treats me badly, but she shouldn't have used that method to force you away from me. I will never forgive her for this."

Qiao Ruoxing paused, didn't speak, just patted his shoulder from time to time.

After a while, Gu Jingyan said again, "Do you really not feel any love at all?"

Qiao Ruoxing came back to her senses, looking helpless, this party is not over yet?

"A little bit."

She seemed perfunctory.

Gu Jingyan frowned, very dissatisfied with that little bit.

"Which little bit makes you like it? I will expand it."

Qiao Ruoxing looked at his serious face and teased him, "The little bit you spent money on me."

Gu Jingyan...

Looking at his bitter and resentful look, Qiao Ruoxing stopped teasing him, pulled him over and kissed him on the face, "If I don't like you, who would fall in love with you? Am I sick? If I like money, wouldn't it be better for me to find someone to support me?"

It was a rare confession, but Gu Jingyan only read the second half of the sentence, "How much money can support you?"

Qiao Ruoxing...

She threw a pillow on Gu Jingyan's face, "Go to sleep."

After a long time of tossing, Gu Jingyan was willing to get off her, but he kept holding her waist and refused to let her leave.

Qiao Ruoxing had no choice but to think of Lin Shu who was waiting outside, so she took her phone and sent a text message to Lin Shu.

[Assistant Lin, you go first, I'll be at Yuyuan tonight. ]

Lin Shu quickly sent a [Received].

He then threw his phone on the sofa and went to take a shower.

He had known this would happen, so he didn't wait downstairs at all.
