Lin Che heard this and turned around to look at Gu Jingze behind her.
His eyes narrowed as he walked towards Lin Che's side.
Lin Che looked up and asked, "You're awake?"
Gu Jingze patted her head, "Silly, I'm already standing here. If this isn't me awake, then you must be seeing my ghost."
Lin Che pouted, rubbed her head, and said, "Idiot. I was greeting you!"
Gu Jingze only smiled and shot a glance at her.
The aunt looked at this loving scene. When she stared at Gu Jingze, her heart was sighing in amazement.
"Ah, we've never seen such a good-looking guy around here. Old Granny Qiu, you are really lucky."
Granny also looked up at the two of them.
As an experienced person, she naturally understood what the best state was between two people.
When two people bickered like this, it was when they loved each other the most. Because it seemed like it was already part of their everyday lives and they would not be deliberately holding back.
Granny was very happy. She looked at them and said, "Come eat."
Gu Jingze ate with them. After that, he circled around and looked everywhere.
Lin Che only wandered around and looked out from the inside. Gu Jingze helped Granny pack up, even though he had to go on the phone from time to time.
Granny looked at Lin Che, smiled, and said, "Jingze is really not a bad person. I only spent a few days in B City and don't him very well, but for him to stay here because of you and not mind anything, he is wonderful."
Lin Che gazed softly outside, "Yes. He has always been wonderful."
Granny smiled and said, "That's the way it should be when a husband and wife are together. I really like this Jingze the more I see him. He has a great personality and more importantly, he doesn't look down on us at all. You have a better life than your mother. Sigh..."
"Granny, has Mom ever told you about how she met my father? The strange thing was... I looked through the photos and didn't find anyone who looked like him. Was it because she hadn't met my father while she was here?"
Granny replied, "Indeed. Your mother later ran away from home and went to B City on her own. That was how she met your dad. Before that, we've never heard of such a person."
"My mom ran away from home to go to B City?" Lin Che never heard her mother talk about her past. Even until now, she didn't know why or how her mother ended up as a mistress, and her mother never once explained it to her either.
Granny said, "Those people in the photos were volunteer teachers who came down that year. One of her teachers, Mr. Lu, liked your mother a lot and encouraged her to go to the university in B City. Your mother got in, but we didn't have the money to provide for her education. We were very poor back then and would have been satisfied if she went to a nearby university. However, your mother was stubborn and went to B City on her own. She didn't want a cent from us. After that happened, she would still call us sometimes but the calls gradually decreased. Even until she passed away, she never told us how exactly she was doing."
Granny thought about it and sighed, "I always wondered what would happen if we let her go to B City back then. We could have worked harder and let her attend university. Then, maybe it wouldn't have ended up like this. She fought alone outside and must have suffered a lot. That's why she ran out of energy so fast and... pass away."
