Lin Mei's mind was in a state of confusion, unable to make sense of the situation.
The Su Qianmo in front of her looked every bit like a young lady from a wealthy family. How could she be pursuing Gu Chenan?
It was simply unbelievable.
What on earth did this girl see in Gu Chenan?
Our Gu Chenan had no car, no house, just a decent face...
Could this girl really be pursuing Gu Chenan just for his looks? That seemed impossible.
She didn't seem like a shallow person either.
But if it wasn't for his appearance, then what was it?
Could it be...
That there was something wrong with this girl's mind?
Unsure, Lin Mei decided to observe further.
"Ahem," Lin Mei cleared her throat and asked Gu Chenan, "You're just standing there stupidly without introducing the young lady?"
"Oh, right," Gu Chenan immediately introduced, "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Su Qianmo."
Then he turned to Su Qianmo and said, "Qianmo, this is my mom."
Although Su Qianmo and Lin Mei had already known each other's identities before Gu Chenan's introduction, it was still crucial for Gu Chenan to introduce them to each other as the "middleman."
After Gu Chenan's introduction, Su Qianmo also very politely gave a formal greeting, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Gu Chenan's girlfriend, Su Qianmo."
"Hello, Xiao Su," Lin Mei nodded and hesitantly asked, "Xiao Su, can you tell Auntie what you see in this boy Gu Chenan?"
Su Qianmo was taken aback. She glanced at Gu Chenan, her cheeks slightly flushed as she said, "Gu Chenan is a very gentle and capable person. When I'm with him, I feel very secure."
She paused, biting her lip before continuing, "To be honest, I can't pinpoint exactly why. I just know that I love him very much, very very much."
After hearing these words, even Gu Chenan was stunned.
To be honest, Gu Chenan had never asked such a question before. So suddenly hearing Su Qianmo's heartfelt words left him both touched and surprised.
Lin Mei's reaction was even more dramatic.
After hearing Su Qianmo's words, she gave Su Qianmo a pitying look.
You say Gu Chenan is a very capable person?
What capabilities?
The ability to stay up all night playing games?
Tsk, this child really does have some mental issues...
"Xiao Su, if you don't mind Auntie asking, you say Gu Chenan is capable and that you feel secure with him, but how can you tell his capabilities in just one day?" Lin Mei probed.
Yesterday Gu Chenan was still saying he had no girlfriend, and today you appear saying you find Gu Chenan capable. Isn't this too incredible?
Su Qianmo immediately realized the issue and paused before explaining, "Auntie, actually, Gu Chenan and I have known each other for several years..."
"Oh?" Lin Mei raised an eyebrow.
So that's how it is!
You little rascal, I knew there was something when you said you weren't looking for a girlfriend. It turns out you had Xiao Su all along!
Thinking of this, Lin Mei scrutinized Su Qianmo once again.
No wonder. Xiao Su is so beautiful, it's understandable why Gu Chenan wasn't looking for a girlfriend.
"Oh, I see," Lin Mei nodded.
Although she was still puzzled about how Su Qianmo could be pursuing Gu Chenan, she didn't delve deeper.
She didn't understand the world of young people.
At the same time, she felt that her wish had finally been fulfilled.
Her son had a girlfriend now, and such a beautiful one at that. How face-giving would that be to talk about?
"Gu Chenan," Lin Mei turned to look at Gu Chenan, who had an exasperated expression.
Gu Chenan's face immediately changed to a smile, "What is it, Mom?"
"You better treat Xiao Su well. If I find out you've done anything to wrong her, I promise I'll break your legs!" Lin Mei half-advised, half-threatened.
"Alright, I know," Gu Chenan nodded helplessly.
"Good," Lin Mei stood up and said, "I was originally planning to take you out for a meal today, but since you two are in your own world now, I won't disturb you."
"Oh, it's no disturbance at all," Gu Chenan said, but in his mind flashed the scene of the bondage play with Su Qianmo just now.
To be honest, it would indeed be somewhat of a disturbance.
"Alright, alright, Mom's leaving now."
"Let me and Qianmo see you off."
"No need, no need," Lin Mei stopped Gu Chenan as he was getting up. "I'm not a three-year-old child, what's there to see off?"
Despite Lin Mei's words, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo still insisted on seeing her off downstairs.
At the entrance of the residential complex.
Lin Mei called Gu Chenan aside privately.
"Mom will transfer 2000 yuan to you. Take Xiao Su out for a tour, don't just stay at home all day, or you'll grow mold."
As she spoke, Lin Mei took out her phone, ready to transfer money to Gu Chenan.
"No, no," Gu Chenan held Lin Mei's hand, saying, "I have money."
Lin Mei glared at Gu Chenan, saying irritably, "When I give it to you, just take it. Why are you being so polite with your own mother?"
"No, I really do have money," Gu Chenan wanted to tell his mother the balance in his bank account, but when he thought of the consequences of telling his mother, he got a headache.
He had been cooped up in a rented apartment for the past two years, without even a basic income. Now if he said he had 70 million yuan, how could it not make people suspect he had done something illegal?
If Lin Mei pressed Gu Chenan about where the money came from, how would Gu Chenan answer?
Say that he had transmigrated into a novel and brought back money from the story?
If he really said that, Lin Mei would definitely think he had damaged his brain from playing too many games.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan sighed.
It seemed he needed to do something with this money, otherwise he couldn't explain the sudden appearance of a large sum of money from an unknown source.
Gu Chenan took out his phone, withdrew 3000 yuan from his bank card into WeChat, then opened his balance and said, "Mom, look, I really do have money."
Lin Mei looked and immediately became vigilant, "Where did you get this money from?"
This reaction was within Gu Chenan's expectations. He shrugged and said, "Uh, I sold some items in a game."
Although Lin Mei didn't understand how money could be exchanged in games, she at least knew the source of Gu Chenan's money now, so she cautioned, "You must not get involved in anything illegal, you hear?"
"Oh Mom, don't worry."
"Alright, alright, since you have money, that saves me some. Okay, I'm leaving now."
Just as Lin Mei was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned back, "By the way, what does Xiao Su's family do?"
"Well..." Gu Chenan was taken aback, not knowing how to answer.
After thinking for a moment, he casually evaded, "Like our family, just an ordinary family."
"An ordinary family?" Lin Mei looked back at Su Qianmo, frowning, "Xiao Su's demeanor doesn't seem like she comes from an ordinary family, does it?"
"Uh..." Gu Chenan was at a loss for words. Indeed, it was hard to believe that Su Qianmo's family was ordinary.
Although Su Qianmo had never deliberately shown off, she unconsciously exuded elegance and nobility in her every move and gesture.
"Mom, you should head back now. It'll be dark soon."
In the end, Gu Chenan could only urge Lin Mei to leave to end this topic.
...
After seeing Lin Mei off, Gu Chenan heaved a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he hadn't impulsively shown his mother his entire balance, but just showing her 3000 yuan had aroused suspicion. If his mother knew he had 70 million, wouldn't she immediately disown him on the spot?
And then there was the issue of Su Qianmo's identity... That was also impossible to explain.
"Why do you look so relieved?" Su Qianmo came up, linked her arm with Gu Chenan's, and rested her face on his shoulder as she asked.
"It's nothing," Gu Chenan shook his head and said, "It looks like I need to find something to do quickly, otherwise I'll have to hide my wealth in front of my family in the future."
"What do you want to do? I can help you," Su Qianmo said thoughtfully.
"Tsk," Gu Chenan clicked his tongue, "I haven't decided yet."
"But anyway, it's time to find something to do..."
orn and Humiliation】【Forced Love】 In his past life, Lin Ran was betrayed and murdered by his girlfriend and family, while the yandere female aristocrat, who had treated him as a mere plaything, avenged him by doing in his enemies. Upon seeing the yandere female aristocrat lying in the same coffin, ready to die with him, Lin Ran realized how profoundly mistaken he had been. Reborn, he abandoned the fickle campus beauty and wholeheartedly embraced the yandere female aristocrat's arms. "Ran!

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
