Chapter 167

Old Liu returned to the guard room and sat there thinking. Deputy Director Jian's mother had come, and he felt it would be better to make a phone call to notify them. Then he looked at the clock hanging on the wall; they had just returned, so they shouldn't be asleep at this time.

He didn't know that this one phone call of his prevented the outbreak of a war and saved their director's love life. He even got an extra 200 in his bonus for this month.

An Jing and Zhou Anqin had been strolling for most of the day and were already tired. After washing up, they lay on the bed. But they couldn't sleep, so An Jing hugged her pillow, ran to Zhou Anqin's room, and squeezed onto the bed.

The two were whispering about girl topics, and without knowing it, it was almost eleven o'clock. Just as they were preparing to sleep, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

An Jing said strangely: "Who is calling so late." After finishing, she got off the bed to answer the phone, "Hello!"

"Director Jian, I am the guard Old Liu; your mother has come."

An Jing's heart jumped violently: "My mother?"

Old Liu said: "Is your mother's name Gu Minglan?"

"Yes!" An Jing's head buzzed, "Where is she?"

Old Liu said: "I told her the location; she should be arriving soon."

"..."

An Jing hung up the phone with a thud, turned around, and ran out. She opened the door, slammed it shut, and then pushed open Zhou Anqin's bedroom door, "Your sister-in-law's mother is here. Remember, you absolutely cannot call her sister-in-law; everything else is normal."

After finishing, An Jing turned and ran out, came to Zhou Andong's door on the second floor, and raised her hand to pound on the door.

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu were exercising. Hearing the pounding on the door, Jian Qiu hugged Zhou Andong tightly and wouldn't let him move.

"Someone is knocking on the door, so loud, it must be something important. You go take a look."

Zhou Andong got up, looked at his standing little brother, and said with a bitter face: "What do you want me to do when I go out?"

"Pfft!" Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh, put on her pajamas, and ran out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw An Jing, "What's wrong?"

An Jing said anxiously: "Your Old Buddha is here."

Jian Qiu was stunned, and then reacted: "Where is she?"

An Jing said: "The guard just called; she's about to arrive."

Suddenly, the sound of the unit door slamming shut came. Jian Qiu's face changed. She grabbed An Jing's arm, pulled her in, and then slammed the door shut with a bang.

"What's wrong?" An Jing asked in a daze.

"Shh!" Jian Qiu raised her finger to shush her and pressed her eyes against the door mirror.

The sound of high heels clicking on the steps got closer and closer. At this time, the hallway light flickered, as if the voltage was a bit unstable, and then a familiar figure appeared.

Jian Qiu guiltily dodged away from the door mirror and patted her towering chest: "Fortunately, you ran out in advance. If you had been blocked in the room and I wasn't there, based on the Old Buddha's shrewdness, she would definitely know there was a problem, and then it would be very difficult for us to justify ourselves."

Zhou Andong got dressed and came out of the room: "What's wrong?"

Seeing Zhou Andong, An Jing said gloatingly: "Your future mother-in-law is here; she's already gone up."

Zhou Andong said indifferently: "If she goes up, let her go up. If Miss Jian agrees, I can go pay my respects to Mother-in-law right now."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him, but her tone was full of apology: "Wait a bit; now is not the time."

An Jing said: "Hurry up, quickly think about what to do. There's only Xiao Qin at home. Although I've already told her not to call you sister-in-law anymore, I didn't have time to say anything else. If it takes too long, I'm afraid she'll let something slip."

Zhou Andong said: "Rest assured, that girl looks silly, but she's actually very shrewd."

An Jing said angrily: "Xiao Qin is shrewd, but can she be shrewder than the Old Buddha? She has eaten more salt than Xiao Qin has eaten rice."

Zhou Andong said: "Is it simple to fool my mother-in-law? You two hurry up and get dressed. After you go back, just say you were chatting at Gu Bing's place."

An Jing said: "What if the Old Buddha goes to Gu Bing to verify it?"

"I'll go knock on Gu Bing's door right now and say hello to him." Zhou Andong opened the door and walked out, "When you two go out, leave the door a crack; don't lock it."

An Jing was a bit shorter than Jian Qiu, but her figure was about the same, so wearing Jian Qiu's clothes could be considered a good fit.

The two got dressed, came out, went upstairs, stood at the door, and looked at each other. They pressed their ears to the door to listen, heard nothing, and then Jian Qiu took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Coming!" Zhou Anqin's voice came from inside, and then the door opened. The girl stuck her tongue out at the two and blinked.

Jian Qiu and An Jing let out a long sigh. Looking at this girl's expression, it should be no problem.

"Mom, why are you here?" Jian Qiu entered the room and saw Gu Minglan standing in front of the bookshelf, looking at a book.

Gu Minglan put the book on the bookshelf and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise and made several dishes you love to eat, but by ten o'clock, you still hadn't returned. I was worried about you, so I found the winery to see if you were here."

Jian Qiu said: "I've been very busy lately, so I packed up the dormitory. If it's too late, I'll stay here."

Gu Minglan picked up another book and asked as if unintentionally: "Where did you go, coming back so late?"

Jian Qiu said: "Gu Bing lives downstairs, so I chatted with him for a while."

"Oh!" Gu Minglan was very calm, and no expression could be seen on her face, "I haven't seen him for a long time; I'll just go see him."

Jian Qiu said angrily: "What time is it now."

"You just came back, so he can't possibly be asleep. What's wrong with me, as his aunt, going to see him." Gu Minglan smiled, "Alright, you guys go to sleep early."

Jian Qiu said: "We're going to sleep, what about you."

Gu Minglan said: "I'm going back to sleep."

"It's so late, you can't even hail a taxi; how are you going back?" Jian Qiu said, "Squeeze in with me for the night."

Gu Minglan thought for a moment: "Alright, I'll go see Gu Bing first; you tidy up the bed." After finishing, she opened the door and walked out. The moment she closed the door, her face sank.

Two rooms, one room had two pillows and one set of bedding. The other room, although it had bedding, had no pillows. This showed that only two people were living in the house.

She came to the second floor and raised her hand to knock on the door. Soon, a shout came from inside: "Coming!"

The door opened, and Gu Minglan was stunned: "You are?"

As soon as Zhou Andong saw Gu Minglan, he knew who it was, but the expression on his face was very confused: "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Minglan frowned and said: "Looking for Gu Bing; I am his aunt."

"Ah!" Zhou Andong gave an "ah" sound, climbing up the pole, and very shamelessly called her aunt: "Hello, Auntie, my name is Zhou Andong, and I am the winery's director. Old Gu lives across the hall."

Gu Minglan was no stranger to Zhou Andong's name. She had often seen it in the newspaper during this period, and Gu Bing had mentioned it quite a bit during the New Year. So, she knew Zhou Andong was very capable and also very young. She just didn't expect him to be so young, and also such a spirited young man.

Zhou Andong's first impression on Gu Minglan was quite good: "I'm really sorry to bother you."

Zhou Andong said shyly: "What are you talking about? Gu Bing and I are good brothers. You are his aunt, which means you are my aunt. What is there to be sorry about."
