"Hello Auntie!" Gu Xiyao greeted politely, "You're Tongtong's stepmother, right? I have something about Tongtong I'd like to ask Uncle about, is he available now?"
"What do you need to ask me about Tongtong?" Ji Guoqiang replied with a hint of defensiveness.
Seeing his reluctance, Gu Xiyao answered mildly, "Strictly speaking, it's about Tongtong's mother."
Ji Guoqiang's face changed, and Gu Xiyao noticed it, saying, "You should know that I was hospitalized due to a momentary lapse, and my mother came back to see me."
"What?!" Ji Guoqiang exclaimed in shock, "She really came back?"
"Who?" He Meijuan asked, confused.
"Uncle, do you really not want to talk with me?" Gu Xiyao continued smiling at him, looking especially similar to her mother.
Ji Guoqiang turned his head and said, "Go make a cup of tea for the guest!"
He Meijuan furrowed her brows in confusion but obediently nodded and went to make tea, allowing Gu Xiyao to follow Ji Guoqiang inside with a smile.
