Su Yixia unconsciously loosened the grip on Gu's mother's arm, startled without realizing it.
Did he know?
Had he already known?
Suddenly, such a thought flashed through Su Yixia's mind, leaving no time to ponder, when she heard Grandma Xiao ask aloud, "Who is this person?"
It was the elderly lady's birthday banquet, and naturally, only those she had allowed were invited.
Gu's mother had never received an invitation from Grandma Xiao.
Su Yixia felt puzzled. Hadn't she just called out that she was Gu Nuan's mother? Why would the old lady ask such a question?
Of course, that was a rationale too sophisticated for her young mind. There's no such thing as taking someone's word immediately, especially for a woman like Grandma Xiao, who held sway over a prominent family. No matter what anyone said, she needed to question the parties involved to confirm and distinguish the truth from lies.
All eyes turned back to Gu's mother because of Grandma Xiao's question.
