Chapter 398: Henpecked
To someone who couldn’t enjoy motherly love from a young age, Mrs. Xue and Guo Xiaorong were truly wonderful to her.
Mu Anhan didn’t know how her biological mother would treat her, but Guo Xiaorong was even better to her than Xue Xiangtong.
Mu Anhan’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice choked, "Auntie, I am fine! I’m sorry for being late..."
In recent years, not only had she missed out on love, but also on friendship.
"It’s not too late, not too late!" Mrs. Xue immediately wiped her tears, "It’s because Auntie is not capable, that’s why you suffered."
She wondered, if Mu Anhan’s biological mother didn’t harm her, how could she allow her stepmother to marry her off?
"Auntie, I’m not suffering at all." Mu Anhan smiled, "Gu Xiaozhan is very good to me, and Tong Tong has seen it. If you don’t believe me, just ask her."
Xue Xiangtong said with a goosebump-inducing expression, "Gu Xiaozhan spoils her so much, I can’t stand it!"
"That’s good! That’s good!" Guo Xiaorong said twice in a row. She didn’t understand how high Gu Xiaozhan’s rank or wealth was, as long as he cherished Mu Anhan.
Xue Jianshu and Guo Xiaorong had already retired, and the two often went out traveling to relax, just worried about Xue Xiangtong at home alone, working in a concerning profession.
"Uncle, this is for you!" Mu Anhan handed over the cigarettes, wine, and tea.
"Oh my, these are the best cigarettes, wine, and tea I’ve ever had." Xue Jianshu was excited, laughing like a Maitreya Buddha, "Han Han, you’ve gone to too much trouble! Don’t be so extravagant, especially when they were delivered by Mr. Gu’s people."
"Uncle, don’t worry, this is money I earned myself." Mu Anhan had liked visiting their house since she was young; he was even kinder than her own father.
"Keep the money for yourself, don’t spend it recklessly." Guo Xiaorong immediately said, and then scolded him, "I’ve been telling him to quit smoking for a long time, this old stubborn man!"
Xue Jianshu quickly grabbed the cigarettes and ran, "Wife, since Han Han is visiting our home today, don’t scold me, give me some face, okay? I promise you, I’ll definitely smoke less!"
He ran to the balcony, opened the cigarette pack to smoke, happy like a child.
Xue Xiangtong helplessly shrugged, "Dad has feared Mom all his life! Han Han, you know that!"
"What do you kids know? How could I fear your mom? I cherish her! That’s why I listen to her!" Xue Jianshu poked his head out from the balcony again.
"Don’t be embarrassed!" Guo Xiaorong blushed and then pulled Mu Anhan to sit down and have tea.
Mu Anhan laughed, "Uncle and Auntie have such a good relationship. We are all happy for you!"
They say that young couples should become old companions! After a lifetime of storms and bumps, in old age, they are each other’s harbor.
Mu Anhan thought of Gu Xiaozhan. They had only been married a few years, and had spent the first three years in a silent standoff. From now on, she truly wanted to cherish their time together.
"Han Han, if your mother were still here, she and your father would be very loving too." Guo Xiaorong sighed, "It’s a pity she left too early!"
"Why bring up that heartless man?" Xue Jianshu snorted, "How long after Han Han’s mom passed did he marry a new wife? He’s living a good life now, probably already forgotten about Han Han’s mother! He’s not a good person!"
After he finished cursing, he saw Guo Xiaorong glaring at him.
"I’m sorry, Han Han..." He said with an awkward smile, "This mouth of mine doesn’t know how to talk."
Mu Anhan nodded, "Uncle is right..."
