Chapter 240 - 241: Xia Yangyang's Biological Mother...



To Xia Yangyang, high-society parties were completely boring, even though she was supposedly the guest of honor today.

Unfortunately, there weren’t many of her friends present.

Instead, Xia Weiwei had invited all her friends.

The socialites from Kyoto also preferred associating with her.

Xia Weiwei had already changed into another outfit. At that moment, she appeared like a stunning butterfly amid the flowers, dancing gracefully.

Also dancing with her was a popular young actor from Starlight Entertainment, Ji Jiahang.

This time, many celebrities from Starlight Entertainment came to show their support. Xia Yangyang looked around and noticed that Chen Yu didn’t come over.

Shen Shichuan did come, however.

At that moment, he was talking to Gu Qichen.

Shigang Entertainment and Starlight Entertainment have always been in cutthroat competition before, but since their joint investment in last time, the relationship seems to be not bad.

Yet, Xia Yangyang believed this harmony was just superficial. In the business world, there are no permanent friends or enemies—only permanent interests.

Xia Yangyang, feeling bored, ate a bit and then decided to go the rooftop terrace for some fresh air.

At that very moment, Gu Mingzhu was talking to a few supermodels in their social circle. Liu Ruyan walked over with her wine glass: “Madam Gu, the dress you’re wearing today must be Chanel’s newly released model. It complements your aura very nicely.”

Gu Mingzhu clinked her glass against Liu Ruyan’s while smiling: “You and I are family now; there’s no need to be so formal. Just call me Mingzhu.”

The two started chatting.

The supermodels nearby, seeing the two chat intimately, tactfully excused themselves.

Liu Ruyan said, “Though Yangyang doesn’t have a mother-in-law, having such a caring sister-in-law like you puts me and her father at ease.”

Gu Mingzhu smiled, “Yangyang is a good kid, simple and kind-hearted. I really like her.”

Liu Ruyan sighed, “Actually, her father and I have always felt guilty towards her. Even though I treat her as my own daughter, she still keeps her distance from me. This child has always felt that I invaded her family. She has never once called me ‘mom.’. These past years, she’s grown a little reclusive. Her father and I always worry that she might develop psychological issues. But now it’s better – with Ah Chen’s love, and your affection towards her, I no longer feel as guilty.”

Liu Ruyan casually mentioned this, and Gu Mingzhu was greatly surprised: “Is Yangyang not your biological child?”

Gu Mingzhu usually keeps busy, spending most of her time at fashion shows in Paris and the United States.

She doesn’t know much about domestic affairs.

Liu Ruyan sighed, “Although we’ve been married for ten years, she still calls me Aunt Liu. Maybe I haven’t done enough as a stepmother, and she still doesn’t regard me as her mother.”

Hearing Liu Ruyan’s words, Gu Mingzhu suddenly remembered something.

Even though Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang had married, they had kept it a secret, and the two families hadn’t initially known.

After their hidden marriage was exposed, they only met once for a meal.

Since they weren’t planning on preparing for a wedding soon, the two families had little contact with each other.

The last time they met, Xia Yangyang indeed didn’t call Liu Ruyan ‘mom’, and their relationship didn’t appear to be close.

Gu Mingzhu suddenly asked, “What’s the name of Yangyang’s biological mother?”

“Her name is Tan Zhen. She was a renowned movie star in this circle twenty years ago.”

When Gu Mingzhu heard this name, she inadvertently loosened her grip, and the champagne glass in her hand fell and shattered on the ground.

Gu Mingzhu quickly apologized and bent down to clean up the mess.

However, she accidentally cut her finger on a piece of the broken glass.

Blood started to flow from her fingertip.

Liu Ruyan hurriedly called over the attendants to clean up the mess.

Gu Mingzhu apologized for her clumsiness, “I am so sorry. I was very careless.”

Liu Ruyan feigned concern, “You should go find some medicine quickly. Also, you don’t look well, are you feeling sick?”

Gu Mingzhu replied, “I am fine. I’m just a bit tired. I’ll go rest for a while.”

After speaking, Gu Mingzhu turned around and left with the attendant.
