Chapter 695: Attending to Hu Jie



Mrs. Chen’s gaze fell upon her daughter, her hair still in disarray, her demeanor rushed and flustered. She sighed, recalling her previous suspicion that her daughter was secretly dating. Now, it seemed, her daughter was still quite wild.

However, she found herself craving some pastries. “Isn’t that a large box you have there? Can’t you spare some for your mother?”

When it came to Gu Zi, Mrs. Chen knew that the child made delicious pastries. Gu Zi used to frequently bring over treats, and she and her husband would joke about enjoying the benefits of their son’s friendship.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t help but sigh heavily. If she had known it would come to this, she wouldn’t have agreed to the Gu family’s proposal, allowing Lin Miao to fulfill this marriage contract.

Now, rumors were circulating throughout the military compound, accusing her of failing to guard her son properly. After much deliberation, she had chosen a thief raised in the countryside for her son, tarnishing the family’s reputation.

As for Gu Zi, she was fortunate not to have married into their Gong family, and to have avoided dealing with a mother-in-law as blind as herself.

Although she couldn’t change the facts, hearing these words left a bitter taste in her mouth. It was indeed distressing.

Gong Xin had already emerged from her room, slinging her bag over her shoulder in preparation to leave. She was heading to the radio station to learn new broadcasting techniques.

Because she was running late for her meeting with Gu Zi, she responded while putting on her shoes, “No, mother. If you want pastries, I’ll bring you some from your favorite bakery.

“Just remember, don’t touch my pastries. Especially keep an eye out for my brother, don’t let him steal any. I love you, mom…”

As her words trailed off, the sound of the door closing echoed through the house. Mrs. Chen swallowed her disappointment, grumbling to herself that in her daughter’s eyes, Gu Zi’s pastries were more important than her own mother. She turned her attention back to the television, trying not to think about the delicious, fragrant pastries.

When her daughter had first brought them home, she had caught a glimpse of the tempting pastries.

However, just as she settled down to watch television, the doorbell rang. Mrs. Chen rose to answer it. “Hello, is this Vice Commander Gong’s residence?”

Mrs. Chen’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the visitor. The woman was dressed in a military uniform, tall and striking, with a cold, proud face. She was in her late twenties and quite attractive.

Upon noticing the stripes on the woman’s shoulder, Mrs. Chen was even more surprised. This woman held the same rank as her son, a vice commander, and even had a bodyguard accompanying her.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly invited the woman in. Just then, Gong Zhan descended from upstairs. She told her son, “It’s good that you’re here. This lady is looking for you.”

Gong Zhan approached the visitor. “Vice Commander Hu, what brings you here? Mom, could you make us some tea?”

Mrs. Chen’s smile bloomed like a flower. She was more than happy to play hostess and headed towards the kitchen. Soon, she returned with a pot of freshly brewed tea.

Just then, the phone rang. After answering it, she turned to Gong Zhan. “Son, I might have to step out for a bit. Please take good care of Vice Commander Hu.”

Having given her instructions, Mrs. Chen picked up her purse and cheerfully left the house, humming a tune. Seeing Vice Commander Hu had lifted her spirits. Although her son and Lin Miao were legally married, they had yet to consummate their marriage.

Moreover, due to Lin Miao’s imprisonment, Gong Zhan was certain to divorce her. Although the situation was currently difficult to handle, the appearance of such an outstanding woman by her son’s side gave her hope. As a mother, she naturally hoped her son would seize this opportunity.

Inside the house, Gong Zhan and Hu Jie were conversing in the study. Gong Zhan felt that serving just a pot of plain tea was somewhat inadequate. He went to the kitchen and upon opening the refrigerator, discovered the box of pastries. Thinking they were presentable enough, he decided to serve them to Hu Jie.

Hu Jie had initially planned to leave as soon as their discussion was over. However, upon seeing the exquisite pastries, she suddenly craved something sweet. She picked one up to taste and couldn’t help but praise, “These pastries are delicious. They’re not overly sweet like others. Vice Commander Gong, where did you buy these? I’ll have someone get some for me later.”

Gong Zhan wasn’t particularly fond of sweet things. Gu Zi used to send him these pastries, which he would give to Gong Xin.

However, he now found himself wanting to taste them. He picked up a white cake, and a faint scent of coconut filled his nostrils as he took a bite.

The flavor was similar to Gu Zi’s pastries, but seemed even more delicious. He found himself wanting another piece, but due to the presence of a guest, Gong Zhan refrained from immediately reaching for a second one.
