Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 515 - 311 accompany S service!_2

He was truly beautiful, almost flawless even from up close.

With luminous, blinking eyes, Gu Mingzhi sucked on her finger, forgetting that just a moment ago she wanted to burst into tears.

The kind that couldn’t be soothed easily.

Xia Xing hadn’t expected the little tyke to be so tough, not crying even after such a big fall, and he chuckled lightly, flicking her forehead, "Good thing you’re just a little piglet, otherwise I’d have to rush you to the hospital if you got hurt."

The melancholy in Xia Xing’s eyes at that moment was due to Little Tiangao’s disappearance, or perhaps at that moment he just remembered Little Tiangao. His smile was especially indulgent, and it was this casual indulgence that Gu Mingzhi could still remember to this day, never able to forget.

Not only that, Gu Mingzhi’s resolve to transform from a little piglet to the graceful young lady she was now was also due to his words back then.

"Good thing you’re just a little piglet, otherwise I’d have to rush you to the hospital if you got hurt."

Gu Mingzhi deeply regretted this!

If she weren’t a little piglet, but a delicate porcelain doll that shattered upon touch, would her big brother have carried her to the hospital just like in the idol dramas?!

Xu He calmly took the phone from the waiter, "How is it going?"

The waiter skillfully nodded, "Don’t worry, madam, the young master said he will arrive soon."

Xu He nodded, her complexion rosy as usual.

She hadn’t fainted just now, but if not for this act, how could she trick her son into coming?

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law’s "do as I do" trick worked quite effectively from time to time...

On Mrs. Gu’s end, her threat finally took effect, and she smiled with satisfaction at her phone, then looked up just as Xu He entered the room.

Xu He smiled, "My son says he’ll be here soon."

Mrs. Gu smiled back, "My daughter said the same, let’s continue our tea."

The two friends chatted about their children for over twenty minutes. Mrs. Gu put down her teacup and stood up, "I’ll go to the restroom; we’ll continue when I get back..."

Xu He smiled warmly, "Alright."

Just as the door had closed it was pushed open again, Xu He thought Mrs. Gu had forgotten something, "What’s..."

Before she could finish, she found herself facing her dashing son.

Xia Xing, seeing his mother’s usual composure, pressed his hand against his forehead.

He had been duped.

Xu He: "Son, you’ve come just in time, the Gu family’s daughter will also be here soon."

Xia Xing poured himself a cup of tea, having rushed here in a hurry, and took a moment to take a sip of water.

After swallowing his tea, he said reluctantly, "Mom, I’ll meet her if you insist, but just so you know, I’m not going to like her."

He meant nothing else by this statement, but unfortunately, Mrs. Gu, who was just coming back from the restroom, heard him.

Even though Mrs. Gu was a fan of his, admiring and liking him a lot, hearing him say he couldn’t possibly like her daughter naturally caused some resentment.

"Xing Xing, now that’s something I must address. After all, our Gu family is a reputable family. Is it fair for you to despise her without even meeting her? Old Xu, since your son has spoken thus, I see no need for them to meet today..."

Mrs. Gu made as if to leave, but Xu He quickly stood up to hold her back, "Hey, Xing Xing didn’t mean it that way, let him explain..."

Mrs. Gu was easily persuaded and stopped immediately, "Alright, let’s hear his explanation."

Xia Xing: "..."

He didn’t know how to explain at all!

But at this moment, his mother was staring at him, and if he couldn’t provide a perfect explanation, he might never be allowed inside the house again.

Not that it mattered much, but not being able to enter the house meant he couldn’t see Little Tiangao, and that was unacceptable.

He was silent for about half a minute before he finally managed a bitter smile, "Of course it’s not disdain, actually it’s because I... already have someone I like..."

Mrs. Gu was momentarily stunned, "Ah? Auntie watches your news every day; I haven’t heard of any scandals about you?"

Xu He also looked at her son in surprise.

Seeming to discern from his expression whether he was being truthful or lying.

Xia Xing: "..."

They were not easily fooled.

Since acting required going all-out, and he had no other choice, he reluctantly pulled up a photo on his phone and handed it to Mrs. Gu, "Look, I wasn’t lying; she’s my makeup artist..."

The photo he showed was of Gu Mingzhi, who was turned to the side, organizing her makeup box in the photo.

As for how this sneakily taken photo came to be, Xia Xing did not want to explain.

He held his phone with one hand, the other half covering his lips as if to hide his shyness.

"Makeup artist?" Both Mrs. Gu and Xu He leaned in close, eager to see the girl’s true face.
