Chapter 362: Yan Luoxi: My Mom = That Jerk’s Godmother = That Jerk’s Mother-in-law?

Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Yan Luoxi: My Mom = That Jerk’s Godmother = That Jerk’s Mother-in-law?

Although Yan Luoxi was a little uncomfortable, Chen Dongmei was her future mother-in-law, after all. She had to do what she could to win her over.

Seeing how surprisingly well-behaved the cat was today, Chen Dongmei grew even more delighted.

’What a wonderful day!’

Meanwhile, Gu Yizhou was also a little surprised. To his astonishment, Xiaobai was actually letting his mom hold her and was even nuzzling her—something she had never done before.

’After all, Xiaobai never let anyone hold her but me!’

’Even when Mom visited last time, Xiaobai refused to be held by her.’

’Who would’ve thought she’d have a sudden change of heart today?’

As Gu Yizhou was pondering this, he heard his mom say, "Alright, let’s head upstairs. We can talk more once we’re inside."

With that, she carried the cat and walked straight into the apartment complex.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t say anything more.

He just picked up the bags and followed her in.

...

Back home.

Chen Dongmei was still holding and playing with the cat, completely unwilling to let her go.

Yan Luoxi felt utterly exasperated.

She had been wanting to escape for a while now, but she didn’t dare move, not wanting to offend her future mother-in-law.

So, she could only shoot Gu Yizhou a pleading look, begging for help.

However, there was no way Gu Yizhou could understand the look in a cat’s eyes. He just smiled, then got up and went to the kitchen to pour his mom a glass of water.

At this, Yan Luoxi felt even more exasperated.

"Mom, have some water."

A moment later, Gu Yizhou walked out of the kitchen with two glasses of water.

"Ah, okay."

Chen Dongmei nodded, then picked up her glass and took a sip.

Seizing the moment while Chen Dongmei was drinking, Yan Luoxi made her escape.

She leaped from Chen Dongmei’s arms and hid under a nearby table.

’I had no choice!’

’If I didn’t run now, I’d really be stuck!’

"Hey, Xiaobai, why did you run off?"

Seeing the cat run, Chen Dongmei called out, "Come back, come over here! The floor is cold!"

Yan Luoxi didn’t budge.

’I don’t want to go back.’

Seeing that she wouldn’t come, Gu Yizhou spoke up. "It’s fine, Mom. Just leave her be."

"Um... Mom, didn’t you say you were coming with someone? Where are they? Why are you here by yourself?"

"And what’s the deal with that Rolls-Royce?"

Gu Yizhou took the chance to voice all the questions on his mind.

Not far away, under the table, Yan Luoxi heard Gu Yizhou’s questions and secretly pricked up her ears.

’Because... I recognized that car. I think it’s one of ours...’

’Could it be? Did my mom find out Yizhou is my boyfriend, investigate his background, and then deliberately get close to my future mother-in-law?’

A million thoughts raced through Yan Luoxi’s mind.

"Oh, your godmother took a call. Something came up, so she had to leave."

Chen Dongmei took a sip of water and explained casually, "As for the car, your godmother arranged for it to drive me over."

"Er..."

"Wait, Mom, since when do I have a godmother?"

"How did I not know about this?"

Gu Yizhou said, exasperated.

"Oh, this godmother of yours is a new development as of today!"

Hearing Gu Yizhou’s question, Chen Dongmei put down her glass. "Your godmother is that friend I mentioned before. I came to have dinner with her today, remember? We really hit it off, and she started calling me her big sister. As we were chatting, you came up. She mentioned she only has a daughter and no son, so... I let her take you as her godson."

Gu Yizhou was speechless.

’Uh... wasn’t that a bit rash?’

Hearing his mom’s explanation, Gu Yizhou was at a loss for words.

This sudden "godmother" certainly took him by surprise, but since his mom had already agreed, what could he say?

Meanwhile, listening to Chen Dongmei’s explanation, Yan Luoxi was now certain. ’The godmother she’s talking about... it’s my mom!’

’But... what is Mom thinking?’

’If she already knows who Yizhou is to me, why not just expose everything?’

’Why go to all this trouble, beating around the bush just to become that guy’s godmother?’

’Could it be... that this is all just a coincidence?’

Yan Luoxi wondered.

The ensuing conversation between Chen Dongmei and Gu Yizhou gave her the answer.

"By the way, Mom, how did you and this godmother of mine meet, anyway?"

"I don’t remember you having any friends here in the Modu City District."

"This so-called godmother of mine... she isn’t some kind of con artist, is she?"

"Mom, you have to be careful you don’t get scammed!"

Gu Yizhou said.

Honestly, he really was worried about his mom getting scammed.

After all, there were all sorts of scams going around these days.

"Oh, hush!"

"Such cheek!"

"Your Aunt Tang is a very nice person, and she seems to be very well-off. What could she possibly want to scam me out of?"

Chen Dongmei shot her son an irritated look and retorted.

"Er..."

Hearing this, Gu Yizhou didn’t know how to argue.

’That’s true.’

’My mom doesn’t have any money. There really isn’t anything to scam.’

"Actually, it was quite a coincidence how we met."

"She was visiting her daughter in this complex, and we happened to run into each other."

"We hit it off right away, so we added each other on WeChat. We kept chatting, and that’s how we got to know each other."

"Today was actually the first time we’ve formally met up for a meal."

Chen Dongmei said, "Your godmother paid for the entire meal today. I tried to pay, but she wouldn’t let me. So what is there for her to scam me out of?"

"Alright then."

Since his mom put it that way, Gu Yizhou didn’t dwell on the matter any further.

’His mom gained a sister, and he gained a godmother.’

’When you think about it, it’s not a bad thing. I’ll just let her be.’

"Phew..."

Hiding under the table, Yan Luoxi breathed a small sigh of relief.

’Looks like it wasn’t what I thought. My mom didn’t deliberately get close to my future mother-in-law.’

’It really was all just a coincidence!’

’It’s just... I wonder what the look on my mom’s face will be when she finds out her new godson is my boyfriend.’

"Anyway, let’s not talk about that anymore."

"Next time there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you to her. You’ll see."

Chen Dongmei said.

"Oh, okay."

Gu Yizhou nodded, not saying anything else.

Just then.

Chen Dongmei suddenly put down her glass, turned to look Gu Yizhou in the eye, and said, "By the way, how are things going with you and your President Yan? Have you made any progress? Or were you just lying to me, and she doesn’t actually like you at all?"

"Huh?"

Gu Yizhou, who had been lost in thought, was taken aback by his mother’s question.

Chen Dongmei didn’t say a word, just stared intently into his eyes.
