CHAPTER 305: 305: IS IT YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW?

Gu Tong hadn’t yet retracted her claws, but she could already feel the sharp gaze from beside her. She stiffly turned her head and met Feng Shulan’s ’kind and friendly’, yet killing aura-filled eyes!

This is it, she’s doomed this time...

Gu Tong swallowed, her voice trembling a bit, and said, "Mom... maybe this is a misunderstanding..."

Feng Shulan’s willow-like brows raised, with a face that showed some disbelief. She walked to the sofa, sat down with her legs crossed, and said, "What misunderstanding?"

Kneeling in fear, it was just like the Empress Dowager questioning...

Gu Tong, like a maidservant in the palace, walked over tremblingly and said, "The hospital has been busy lately... a lot of things are going on... so, I didn’t come back, and this..."

"You think your dad takes me for a fool, and you think I have no brain, too?" Feng Shulan toyed with her bright red nails, glanced at Gu Tong, and said, "You got married, transferred to the Academy at Pin Pavilion, and took assignments without permission! I know everything, only your foolish dad thinks I’m clueless!"

Gu Tong lowered her head, the words she originally had got swallowed back down, unable to be spoken.

Her own mother had many methods, was extremely intelligent, able to see through everything, and nothing could be hidden from her since childhood...

Her dad wanted to hide things from her, which was indeed a bit difficult, and Gu Tong had no expectations for it. Thinking of this, she said, "Mom, are you mad..."

"Of course!" Feng Shulan said without a doubt, "You are the flesh that fell from my belly. Such a big thing, and you didn’t consult with me and made the decision on your own! Your dad doesn’t take me seriously! And you, continuing his legacy, aren’t you?"

Gu Tong had heard this passage before, but it was in a previous life. At that time, Gu Tong came back herself and talked intimately with her mother, and Feng Shulan still said this.

However, this time she was indirectly referring to Gu Tong’s lifelong affair...

This matter that Dad handled was indeed a bit hastily. Just getting a certificate and thinking everything was settled, as for Mother, it was just perfunctory, anyone would be furious.

At that time, Gu Tong didn’t know how to adapt, nor did she understand her own feelings for Li Yan, causing Feng Shulan to feel distressed, and she even made a fuss with Dad for several years.

"Mom, don’t be angry, actually this marriage is pretty good, and Li Yan is also nice to me, and Dad did his best..."

Good relations between parents are truly good, and Gu Tong naturally wouldn’t make things unpleasant for them anymore, so she thought of a balanced way to persuade them.

However!

Just this one sentence was enough to make Feng Shulan’s heart feel like it was being cut by a knife. Her daughter never understood human relationships, nor did she understand flexibility, and in just a few days, she changed like a different person, enough to prove that she had suffered...

The phrase "mother and daughter know by heart" isn’t a lie! Even though she has matured a little, her mother could still detect the essence.

"Did their family bully you?" If no one bullied her, Feng Shulan wouldn’t believe it even if she was beaten to death, and said, "Is it your mother-in-law! Did she trouble you? Tell mom, and mom will stand up for you, help you find a way!"

No one can bully her daughter, that’s a mother’s mindset. Even if it means facing them with a smile, she can tear into them, ruin this marriage, Feng Shulan has ways, and she would do it without hesitation.

Gu Tong was already full of black lines. How did this explanation get worse and worse...

It feels like the situation now is even more severe than in the previous life...

How on earth should she explain it...

However, just as a mother understands her children, children also understand their mothers.

Gu Tong looked at Feng Shulan’s deeply furrowed brows and couldn’t help but let out a silent sigh...
