Chapter 404
Ah Shu still didn't leave after all.
From the moment Mrs. Shen opened her mouth, or when she saw the familiar beverage bottle in Professor Shen's hand, she never took a step forward.
At the dinner table, her parents still treated her with a lukewarm attitude, but as long as she no longer turned a blind eye, she was already very satisfied.
Most of the time, it was Professor Shen and Gu Rugui who were talking, and Mrs. Shen would occasionally interject a sentence or two when she encountered a topic of interest, but Ah Shu didn't say a word, silently picking up the rice in the bowl.
She had known that Gu Rugui was excellent, but at this moment she couldn't help being in awe of his erudition.
Professor Shen's topics ranged from humanities and history to social economy, and he was able to answer them one by one. Occasionally, he put forward a few excellent arguments, which attracted the former's frequent nods of appreciation.
Ah Shu listened seriously at first, but then gradually shifted her attention to her own bowl, so that Gu Rugui yelled twice before she looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"
Holding a bottle of red wine in one hand, Gu Rugui raised his finger helplessly to touch the center of his eyebrows with the other, and said, "I want you to give me the bottle opener at hand."
Ah Shu let out an "oh", and retracted when she took the bottle opener and was about to hand it to him, she asked suspiciously, "Didn't you guys have had several drinks just now?"
Gu Rugui glanced in Professor Shen's direction indicatively.
Professor Shen's ears were almost red, and he was obviously a little drunk.
Ah Shu frowned, and put away the bottle opener without hesitation, "Drink in moderation."
After she finished speaking, she ignored the gazes of the other three people at the dinner table and continued to bury her head in her meal.
Gu Rugui was a little helpless, but seeing her non-negotiable attitude, he had no choice but to put down the wine bottle resentfully, and asked Professor Shen tentatively: "Professor, how about I continue to drink with you next time?"
Professor Shen snorted coldly, obviously a little unhappy.
Mrs. Shen hurriedly scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to him, helping Gu Rugui to smooth things over, "It's almost over, Xiao Gu will have to drive later, it's not safe to drink and drive, and so are you, drink some soup to sober up, or wait a while." Blood sugar spikes are enough for you."
Professor Shen glared at her, and said pointedly: "I didn't even know that our bowls are so delicious!"
After saying that, Ah Shu glanced at his empty bowl, and his eyes froze.
Gu Rugui filled a bowl of soup and handed it to her, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't just focus on eating, drink some soup."
Ah Shu wanted to say no, but when he noticed that his parents were staring at them, he had no choice but to bite his lip and push the empty bowl away, said "Thank you" in a low voice, and took the soup.
She lowered her head and sipped the soup. The dinner table had returned to its original appearance. Professor Shen and Gu Rugui were still chatting loudly, as if they had forgotten the unhappiness caused by her just now.
Holding the bottle opener in his hand, Ah Shu quietly let out a sigh of relief.
After the meal, Gu Rugui did not rush to leave immediately, but continued to drink tea with Professor Shen in order to evaporate the smell of the two glasses of wine he had just drank.
Ah Shu helped Mrs. Shen put the bowl into the kitchen, and at a glance, he found that the teacup used by Professor Shen was somewhat familiar.
And that set of teacups seemed somewhat similar to the ones she had seen in the tea set store before, but the color and texture of the teacups were obviously much better.
As if to confirm her thoughts, Mrs. Shen's voice rang softly in her ears, "The tea set was sent by Xiao Gu last week, and he said it was given to him by someone else, and he just didn't need it, so I gave it to Shen The professor brought it over."
When Mrs. Shen took the initiative to talk to her, Ah Shu was taken aback, and she never thought that the elder Gu Rugui said would be her father.
She lowered her head to rinse the foam off the plate, and replied, "It wasn't a gift from someone else, he picked it out on purpose."
"Huh?" Mrs. Shen looked at her suspiciously.
Ash paused, "I went with him, but the set in Professor Shen's hand is much better than the one I picked, and the quality of the material is much better. Gu Rugui must have put a lot of thought into this set of tea sets." .”
After saying that, Mrs. Shen was silent for a while, "If I had known this tea set was so valuable, I shouldn't have let Lao Shen accept it."
Ah Shu pursed his lips, but didn't tell her, since people like Gu Rugui are determined to send things out, how can they have the room to refuse?
So she took a dry towel and dried the plate, "You can take it."
Gu Rugui felt guilty towards her, so she made it up to her parents in a disguised form. Since he was willing to do this, she had no reason to refuse, anyway, he never allowed her to refuse.
In the kitchen, after a moment of silence, Mrs. Shen finally sighed softly and said, "What happened back then?"
This long-lost address made Ah Shu's hands tremble unconsciously, her eyes gradually blurred, and she felt tears falling down and melting into the pool.
Mrs. Shen took the clean dishes in her hand, and after setting them up, she looked at her, "Xiao Shu, after all, you are also the daughter of my mother who was conceived in October. My mother gave birth to you and raised you for more than 20 years. You are really a mother's heart." Is it made of iron?"
Ah Shu's tears couldn't hold back any longer, she choked up and said, "Mom, I'm sorry."
Mrs. Shen looked at her, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and there were tears in her eyes, "Silly boy, I know you are stupid, but I never thought you would be so stupid!"
After all, it was her own daughter. Since she was young, how could Ah Shu's care for Gu Rugui be hidden from her?
Ah Shu was right. She and Professor Shen never thought that their daughter would marry so richly and richly. They only hoped that the man who would become her husband in the future would take care of her instead of them and stop her in everything. In front of her, just give her shelter from the wind and rain.
But who would have thought that the result would always be so wrong.
Mrs. Shen will never forget the shock in their hearts when that young and promising young man asked for forgiveness in front of her and Professor Shen more than a month ago.
Who would have imagined that a person who should have died is still alive, and they never imagined that her seemingly heartless daughter would be so stupid for a man!
But when Gu Rugui was telling the whole story, apart from anger, she felt more distressed.
While she felt sorry for Ah Shu, why didn't she also feel sorry for the forbearing young man in front of her.
So, after all the anger was vented, she asked him, "Do you love our little Shu?"
Gu Rugui didn't answer right away, he thought for a while before seriously saying: "I don't know what love is, but I'm willing to give everything I have for the rest of my life to protect her and the child."
She thought that if the young man answered too thoughtlessly, she might not believe it, but on the contrary, every word Gu Rugui said was carefully thought out.
She has lived most of her life, and she deeply understands that true feelings are not about sweet words, but about how much effort you are willing to put in for the other party.
She didn't know how deep Gu Rugui's feelings for her daughter were, but at least she could see his sincerity from it.
Even this sincerity is more sincere than she imagined!
So, she didn't plan to worry about everything in the past, but her daughter shouldn't have to bear such a bad reputation for the rest of her life.
Gu Rugui seemed to be aware of her worries, and before she opened her mouth, she made a solemn promise to her and her husband: "Please rest assured, I will cleanse Shen Shu of those trumped-up charges. She has been wronged because of me. I'll get it back for her one by one."
Mrs. Shen didn't know how he could make people turn against him, but the certainty in his eyes made people believe him inexplicably.Even last week, when they saw everyone's praise for Xiaoshu on the news, she and her husband showed relieved smiles on their faces.
It seems that Gu Rugui has made his daughter foolishly like him for so many years, so there must be something special about him.
Listening to Mrs. Shen's narration, Ah Shu couldn't help being a little horrified, "Mom, you mean you all knew that I was back long ago, not when the news broke last week?"
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded, "I went to the supermarket with your dad once, and I felt like I saw you when I came out. At that time, I thought I was hallucinating, but after a few days, Professor Shen said that there was a student I sent him the ointment for back pain. Even if the students knew that Professor Shen had back pain, they would not be careful enough to separate the ointment into bags. They also marked the dosage, morning and evening, and usage, and the mailing address was near Qingda University, so I guess you're back."
Ah Shu was extremely surprised, "You are so early...but Dad..."
Thinking of Professor Shen's indifferent appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, "He! He cares about your precious daughter more than anyone else. When he received the news that Xiao Gu said he would bring you back, he eagerly said to buy a drink, but how could I not know what he was thinking? , he was afraid that you would not come back, so he went downstairs to guard it himself!"
"You old woman, why are you talking more and more old-fashioned!"
He heard Professor Shen's distraught voice, and Ah Shu turned his head, only to see Gu Rugui and Professor Shen standing at the door of the kitchen at some point.
Mrs. Shen raised her chin, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
Professor Shen snorted coldly, and was about to walk away with a straight face.
Ah Shu hastily wiped away his tears, rushed towards him, hugged him fiercely, and said softly, "Dad, actually you bought the wrong drink, my favorite is lychee flavor."
"Nonsense, I clearly remember that your favorite is orange flavor..." Professor Shen's face changed when he said this, he pulled her away, and said in a low voice: "Well, you stinky girl, you dare to talk to me! "
Ah Shu winked at him slyly, "Soldiers never tire of cheating."
Professor Shen's stern face couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and he snorted coldly: "You are the only one who is clever! Look at how old you are, and you still cry like a cat. Wash your face and go back quickly."
go back?where to go
Gu Rugui who was beside him coughed lightly on his lips, trying to explain her confusion, "I just said goodbye to the professor, we should go back."
Ah Shu frowned, and said displeasedly, "Why should I go back with you?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, Professor Shen shuddered violently, and then a bag fell into her arms, "Take this back together, it's uncomfortable to pile up at home!"
Ah Shu looked intently, and the bag was full of peeled walnuts.
Eye sockets suddenly wet, but before he could say anything, he was pushed out of the house by Professor Shen.
Ah Shu looked at the closed door and was stunned. She hasn't changed her shoes yet!
Just thinking about a pair of shoes, Professor Shen took her shoes and threw them out, while Mrs. Shen stood beside him with a smile and acquiesced to his actions.
"Dad, Mom, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door closed again with a "bang".
Ah Shu picked up his shoes and put them on, feeling extremely wronged, what's going on?
As soon as he recognized his parents, he was thrown out of the house.
She had a dream just now, that's why she was so bizarre?
But Gu Rugui's half-smile face reminded her that all of this was true.
This man has already calculated everything, even including his own parents.
In my heart, I suddenly had mixed feelings.
Gu Rugui leaned over to straighten her cartoon slippers, then got up and looked at her and said calmly, "Let's go, let's go back."
Ah Shu frowned in displeasure, "Why you and us, Gu Rugui, don't make friends with me!"
He raised his eyebrows, "We all have a child, and we still need to get married?"
Ah Shu snorted nonchalantly, "Was Nian Nian born under normal circumstances? According to what you said, every sperm donor in this world should love all his sperm recipients?"
Gu Rugui was stunned by her for a moment, he couldn't deny that the birth of Nian Nian did skip some necessary steps.
Seeing this, Ah Shu snorted coldly, and walked to the elevator first, "So, you are you and I am me, except for the connection that you are Nian Nian's biological father, we have nothing to do with each other!"
Gu Rugui looked at her back and raised his hand to press her temples. He had only drank two glasses of wine, so why did he feel such a headache!
