Chapter 1451: Looking Too Young, Misunderstood

Shi Youxuan was speechless.

Fine, she hadn't heard of anything like this either.

The couple, whose combined IQ exceeded three hundred, guessed for quite a while but couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer.

Shi Youxuan finally ended it with one sentence: "I'll go to the school to see tomorrow."

The next day.

She set off early in the morning, the trunk filled with food her son liked to eat; the trunk was completely full.

In order to see her son sooner, she didn't park the car outside the school this time, but drove it straight inside.

Shi Youxuan leaned against the car, waiting for her son!

Zichen ran out from the teaching building and happily hugged his mother: "Mom, why are you here? Where's Dad?"

"Your dad wanted to come too, but your sister is getting more and more annoying, and we can't both be out; someone has to stay home to keep her company." She stroked her son's head and then touched his cheek.

She said with a heartache: "You've lost weight, yet you told me everything was fine. What's fine about it? You've lost so much weight, it must be from exhaustion..."

Zichen had been a foodie since he was little and couldn't bear to skimp on his food, so among the children, he had always been the fattest.

It hadn't been long since they last met, yet his facial features had actually become chiseled from weight loss!

"Mom, please don't do this. I'm not a child anymore, my classmates are all watching the joke..." Zichen reminded her.

That was correct; the classmates were indeed looking over, but everyone had misunderstood.

"Who is that woman?"

"Zichen's sister, maybe? If it were someone else, they couldn't be this arrogant, after all, the Class Monitor is coming out soon."

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.

Gu Yuxin came out.

She walked out of the teaching building and saw Shi Youxuan affectionately touching Zichen's cheek; she was also puzzled in her heart: "Who is this woman?"

A classmate beside her comforted her: "Probably Zichen's sister."

She let out a sigh of relief; if it was his sister, then it was nothing.

But there just happened to be a big-mouthed person, who was also a classmate of Zichen's from the same class in high school: "This woman isn't Zichen's sister; we've all seen his sister."

Not his sister?

Then who is she?

The heart that Gu Yuxin had just set at ease was lifted back up again.

She prepared to go over and say hello, but at this moment Zichen got into the car and drove away.

"Whoa! A Bentley, and a limited edition one at that; this car isn't cheap..."

Gu Yuxin didn't recognize luxury cars and didn't know what a Bentley was, but she knew a limited edition must be more expensive than a regular one, so she looked it up online—and was shocked!

That car, which didn't look particularly flashy, was worth forty million?

Was this car made of gold?

Because the car was expensive, the identity of the woman driving it became a mystery.

Shi Youxuan looked too young, appearing only a few years older than them, so it was no wonder some people mistook her for Zichen's sister.

Since she wasn't his sister, the identity of this woman driving a luxury car seemed mysterious and ambiguous; Gu Yuxin called Zichen... and he actually hung up!

He hung up on her?

This jerk, scumbag, rotten peach blossom...

She cursed Sheng Zichen up and down in her heart.

Shi Youxuan was driving, and when her son's phone rang, he only took one look at it before blushing and hanging up.

Shi Youxuan asked: "A girlfriend? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"It's not, oh my, why do you know everything!"

"Look, did I guess right? Yo yo yo, you're shy, and you're even blushing... Call your girlfriend and have her come out, it's just the right time for Mom to meet her."

Zichen refused: "Next time. This time, let's have some mother-son time; if she's here, you won't pay attention to me."

The car stopped outside a large restaurant.

Shi Youxuan brought her son there to eat seafood; she booked a private room so it would be convenient for the mother and son to chat while eating.

On this side, the mother and son were having a lively time, but on the other side, Gu Yuxin was getting angrier the more she thought about it.

Her grandfather had told her to change her rash temperament; she had listened at the time, but forgot not long after.

It was her nature, how could it be so easy to change?

No, she still had to call and ask clearly.

Gu Yuxin thought to herself, if Sheng Zichen didn't answer her call again, their relationship would be over.

The phone rang a few times, and it was answered.

But it wasn't Sheng Zichen, but a woman's voice: "Hello."

"H-hello, I'm looking for Sheng Zichen."

"Oh, Zichen went to the restroom. You must be his girlfriend, right?"

Gu Yuxin was stunned for a few seconds; so Zichen hadn't hidden the fact that he had a girlfriend?

That was okay, her anger dissipated.

She thought perhaps this woman was a relative of Zichen's family.

Gu Yuxin replied: "Yes, I am his girlfriend. May I ask who you are?"

Shi Youxuan said: "I am his closest person."

Gu Yuxin:...

The closest person?

Under normal circumstances, most people would think of their mother.

But Gu Yuxin is not an ordinary person, and the current situation is not normal either!

She didn't connect that beautiful woman with Zichen's mother at all; if not a sister, then who could be the closest person?

Who is it?

Are you challenging me?

She immediately retorted: "What qualification do you have to say you are his closest person? In this world, only his mother has that qualification; your skin is too thick..."

Shi Youxuan was scolded, but she was not annoyed.

She continued to stir the pot unhurriedly: "Whether I have this qualification or not is not for you to decide; it only counts if Zichen says so. Do you dare to come and see me? I am in Room 1208 at the Jiangzhou Hotel."

"You wait, I'm coming over right now."

Shi Youxuan put the phone back in its original place, called the waiter as if nothing had happened, and ordered two more dishes, plus a bowl of bird's nest.

Zichen returned and asked strangely: "Mom, why are you ordering more food? We can't even finish what we have."

"Someone is coming in a while; we can't let a guest eat these. These dishes have already been touched, it wouldn't be polite."

"Oh."

Zichen was puzzled but felt it was important, and asked curiously: "Who is coming later? Do you have acquaintances here?"

"Hmm, you'll know when the person arrives in a while; you know them too."

She considerately scooped a spoonful of Longjing Shrimp onto her son's plate: "Eat more, in case you aren't full when the guest arrives later."

"So mysterious, what kind of guest could affect my appetite? But she is truly formidable..."

Shi Youxuan smiled and said nothing.

No matter how her son asked, she wouldn't say, and her answer was always just one sentence: "What's the rush? You'll know in a while."

He did indeed find out.

The moment he saw Gu Yuxin appear at the door, he almost scared himself under the table.

It was too terrifying; what kind of scene was this woman making now?

Before coming, Gu Yuxin had put on makeup!

Bright red lips, a deathly pale face, heavy eyeshadow, and two thick black eyebrows that looked like they were drawn after Crayon Shin-chan.

She had garnered quite a few looks along the way—three hundred percent of the usual amount.

"Why did you come looking like this?"

Zichen wanted to push her out and tell her to go to the restroom to wash her face before coming back; it wasn't appropriate to meet a parent looking like this.

He had good intentions, but Zichen's actions were misunderstood by Yuxin as having a guilty conscience!

She pushed him away and retorted: "What are you doing? Is there someone inside you're afraid of me seeing?"

Who is Shi Youxuan?

She understood everything the moment she saw this posture.

"It's not that I'm afraid of you seeing, it's just that it's not very appropriate to meet like this..."

It was too late; Gu Yuxin had already walked in.

"Sit."

Shi Youxuan smiled and invited her to sit, then called the waiter to clear the dishes from the table, brought up the newly ordered dishes, and handed the menu to Gu Yuxin: "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."
