CHAPTER. 163

The next day, Lou Che asked the crew for a leave for him and Gu Mian.

When the two arrived at Lou Che's parents' house, it was still early for lunch.

Lou Che helped his mother in the kitchen, while Gu Mian chatted with her fan, Lou Qiang, in the living room.

Lou Che looked at his mother's gray hair. He had a lot of things that he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start.

These twenty two years of nurturing grace were not fake.

But his relationship with them was very likely to be false.

Lou Che searched for information about the Cheng family in Hong Kong City the previous night.

Upon investigation, he found out many things that he did not understand in the past.

Not long after Mr. Cheng's grandson was born, his youngest son and daughter-in-law were killed in a plane crash.

There was a lot of trouble at that time. Cheng Qichen was the only remaining son of Mr. Cheng, so many newspapers published that news.

More than a year later, Mr. Cheng's grandson was again maliciously taken away by the family's nanny.

This matter was also very well known.

With a random search on the Internet, one could find countless things. It was not difficult to imagine how much the old man suffered in those two years.

Zhang Rou noticed that Lou Che was always staring at her and a gentle smile appeared on her wrinkled old face, "You kid, why are you staring at me today?"

Lou Che lowered his head and smiled, "It's nothing mom, I think you look very beautiful today."

Zhang Rou had a surprised expression.

After Lou Qiang's accident, how long had she not heard her son say such things?

At that time, he seemed to grow up overnight. Slowly, she could no longer see a young man and he no longer acted like a baby by her side.

After so many years, Zhang Rou finally heard the long-lost words from her son again.

Gu Mian should have caused him to make such a good change, right?

Zhang Rou laughed, "Mom is getting old, what beautiful?"

Lou Che lowered his eyes and smiled, "No, in my heart, you always looked the best."

Zhang Rou couldn't help but joke, "In your opinion, is it your mom or Gu Mian who is more beautiful?"

It was the first time that Lou Che faced this situation, so even he couldn't help being stunned for two seconds.

Zhang Rou waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, I won't embarrass you."

Lou Che couldn't help but smile, "Mom, that depends on whether you want to hear the truth or lie."

Zhang Rou asked while cutting vegetables, "What is the lie?"

Lou Che pondered for two seconds, "The lie is that you are equally beautiful."

That was the lie?

For a while, she wanted to hear how her son answered the truth.

Zhang Rou stopped cutting vegetables and asked a little curiously, "What about the truth?"

Lou Che picked up the loofah on the side, washed it under water and replied, "The truth is, in my heart, Mian Mian looks the best."

Zhang Rou froze for a moment. This dead child was actually saying her daughter-in-law was more beautiful in front of his mother?

She picked up the handful of loofahs left on the side and made a fierce posture of striking Lou Che.

Lou Che naturally knew that Zhang Rou was just acting and wouldn't really hit him. His mother was reluctant to beat him.

Lou Che laughed, then continued, "But in my father's heart, you are the most beautiful."

The loofah held high in Zhang Rou's hand slowly dropped.

Although she was not well-educated, she had experienced a lot over the years and she naturally understood what her son said.

No matter how filial the son was, when he grew up, he would form his own family and have his own career. It was impossible to stay with them day and night.

The one to stay with him all day and night, was only his wife.

For her son, Gu Mian was the person he wanted to spend his life with. So in his eyes, Gu Mian was the most beautiful.

And the person who spent her life with her was Lou Qiang. In Lou Qiang's heart, she was the most beautiful.

Zhang Rou patted Lou Che's arm lightly, "You…"

Lou Che found that Zhang Rou's white hair was increasing and the wrinkles around her eyes became more obvious, he said, "Mom, I will always be your son. I will always take care of you and dad."

In Lou Che's view, the twenty-two years of love was not fake, even if he was really from the Cheng family, even if one day he wanted to go back to Cheng's house, Zhang Ruan and Lou Qiang were still his responsibility.
