Chapter 772: Chapter 772
The Gu family members were once again scolded to the point where they dared not breathe a word.
Grandpa Gu’s chest was about to explode with anger.
Unfortunately, Gu Dad’s phone, for some reason, couldn’t get through.
After boarding the plane, Gu Dad had turned off his phone because mobile phones must be switched off on planes. Upon disembarking, he completely forgot to turn it on. When he remembered to switch it on, his cheap phone, for some reason, suddenly wouldn’t turn on at all. He could only try charging it.
About this, Gu Dad wasn’t worried, thinking that Gu Mom was there too, and she also had a cellphone. If he couldn’t be reached, one could simply call Gu Mom. So, what was there to fear? Little did he know, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, who were holding a grudge, wouldn’t think of remembering Gu Mom’s phone number.
Since Gu Nuan was pregnant, she had become somewhat sleepy. After Gu Mom and Gu Dad arrived, they sat downstairs in the living room and casually sipped tea, not in a hurry to go upstairs to see their daughter, assured that she was in the care of the best professionals here.
The arrangements made by their son-in-law, Yebai, always reassured them, sparing them from undue worry.
Xiao Yebai and a group of brothers went to the study next door to discuss matters.
Gu Dad examined his own phone, which was charged but still as useless as a brick, from all angles.
Gu Mom said, "If it doesn’t work, just buy a new one here. After all, phones aren’t expensive nowadays; you can get one for just a few hundred yuan."
"You make it sound simple. I’m annoyed—" Gu Dad, who was sentimental about his belongings, said, "Moving data around in the phone, don’t you find that troublesome?"
"That’s troublesome?" Gu Mom said, speechlessly.
Footsteps echoed from the stairs.
Someone, holding the handrail, walked down from the stairs.
Zhang Sanfeng’s housekeeper approached proactively and asked warmly, "Dr. Ou, do you need any help?"
Hearing the voice, Gu Dad and Gu Mom naturally turned their heads to see who it was.
Ou Yanan stood on the steps of the staircase, one hand on the railing, showing half her face to Gu Dad and Gu Mom. The most update n0vels are published on novel_fіre.net
The eyes of Gu Dad and Gu Mom weren’t old enough for presbyopia just yet.
Soon, Gu Dad rose from the sofa.
Seeing this, Gu Mom quickly reached out and tugged at the corner of his shirt, whispering, "What are you doing?"
"How come I find this person familiar? Where have I seen him before?" Gu Dad hesitated, blinking furiously as he tried to get a better look at Ou Yanan’s face, as if trying to make out details through a drill hole, lest he misjudge, unfortunately, there was a distance between them.
Perhaps sensing the gaze from afar, Ou Yanan slightly lowered her head and said to the approaching housekeeper, "Professor Tang and I left some things in the car trunk, could you fetch them for us?"
"Sure." The housekeeper went off to follow the command.
Ou Yanan turned around, not accustomed to looking around, and walked back upstairs immediately.
Watching that figure, seemingly a familiar face, vanish at the top of the staircase.
Gu Dad, with his shirt corner being tugged by Gu Mom, stood rooted to the spot, so he just gazed blankly as the person’s figure disappeared up the stairs.
After a while, Gu Dad came back to his senses, looked down, and asked Gu Mom, who was pulling at his shirt, "Why were you pulling on my shirt?"
Gu Mom abruptly let go of her hand.
Gu Dad, already suspicious, sat down and examined her face intently, not allowing her to turn away, and asked, "Do you know something?"
"What could I possibly know?" Gu Mom replied, "Haven’t you thought about whose house this is? It’s not ours. And what are you doing? Staring at someone like that can make them think you are crazy. If you don’t consider yourself, think about your son-in-law and daughter."
Gu Dad scratched his head, feeling that something was off with Gu Mom.
