Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Gone All Night
Because of Bai Chenyao’s antics, she slept for most of the day and naturally couldn’t attend the afternoon’s school opening ceremony.
The next day, after a night’s rest, Gu Tiantian got up early. Although she still felt a little unwell, it didn’t affect her ability to get out of bed and walk around.
Seeing her get up, Mrs. Chen, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, quickly came out.
"Miss Gu, Xiao Zhang"
"I’ll take the bus myself!"
Before Mrs. Chen could finish speaking, Gu Tiantian was already at the hallway changing her shoes.
Mrs. Chen watched and quickly walked over.
"Miss Gu, breakfast is almost ready. Please have some before you go to school."
Gu Tiantian wanted to refuse, but seeing the slightly pleading look on Mrs. Chen’s face, her heart softened.
What exactly was she doing?
No matter what Bai Chenyao did to her, Mrs. Chen’s kindness towards her and her care for Grandma are undeniable facts.
Why was she taking out her conflict with Bai Chenyao on Mrs. Chen?
Feeling ashamed, Gu Tiantian’s cheeks flushed slightly.
"Mrs. Chen, I"
Mrs. Chen smiled, her voice very gentle.
"Miss Gu, everyone has their temper, and everyone has their moments of unhappiness. Mrs. Chen understands. But no matter what, you can’t mistreat your own body, right?"
"Miss Gu, if your grandma were still here, she would definitely want you to eat well, stay healthy, and be happy every day, right?"
At the mention of Grandma, Gu Tiantian suddenly paused.
After a while, she barely managed a smile.
Mrs. Chen watched and quickly covered her mouth.
"I’m sorry, Miss Gu, I"
"It’s alright, it’s the truth."
She had already come to terms with the fact that Grandma was gone and couldn’t deny it just because someone mentioned it.
Gu Tiantian turned back and returned to the dining table.
Mrs. Chen watched and sighed in relief.
Returning to the kitchen, she quickly brought out the prepared millet porridge and steamed buns.
"Miss Gu, try these steamed buns. I got up early to make the dough and steam them. See if they taste good?"
Gu Tiantian smiled at Mrs. Chen, picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks, and took a small bite.
It wasn’t particularly hot, indicating it had cooled a bit.
But it wasn’t cold, showing she was mindful of the timing.
Noticing Mrs. Chen’s attentiveness, Gu Tiantian felt a twinge of emotion.
She quickly turned away and finished the steamed bun in one bite.
And with the millet porridge, she took big gulps.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen knew it was best to leave Miss Gu alone at this moment, so she returned to the kitchen and quietly brought out a couple of small plates of pickles without saying anything, then quietly went back to the kitchen.
After eating half the steamed buns, another bowl of millet porridge, and some pickles, Gu Tiantian finally put down her chopsticks.
She drank a small cup of milk, rested for a while, then got up.
Knowing Mrs. Chen was in the kitchen, she changed her shoes at the hall and called towards the kitchen.
"Mrs. Chen, I’m off to school."
From the kitchen came Mrs. Chen’s response, "Oh!"
Gu Tiantian smiled slightly, and as she turned back, she inadvertently looked down and paused when she saw the men’s shoes on the shoe rack. Then she pretended not to have seen anything, quickly opened the door, and went out.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Chen had been watching Miss Gu’s expression changes from the moment she came to Jinxin Courtyard.
Though she was in the kitchen, she secretly observed Miss Gu’s every move.
When Miss Gu went out and stared at Mr.’s shoes for a moment with a changed expression, Mrs. Chen silently sighed.
What exactly happened between Mr. and Miss Gu?
Moreover, Mr. didn’t come home last night!
