How did I marry into a wealthy family during my second marriage?

Chapter 567: Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone

"I'm very happy that you have stamped me as a good person." He was very capable. He could actually see that she was unhappy.

"You are a good person."

"I think so too." Xu Weitang wanted to reach out and touch his head. "If you don't go back to work, be careful of being scolded by Master Cao."

"Master Cao asked me to come over and take a look." After the police arrived, he was distracted from his work. Master Cao saw what he was thinking and asked him to come over and take a look. "He won't scold me if he doesn't do that."

Gu Kai took out a straw dragonfly from his pocket and handed it to Xu Wei, "I learned this from them."

"Very delicate." Xu Weitang took the dragonfly and looked at it.

The dragonfly is very lifelike. Gu Kai is very smart, he can learn many things quickly, and he is well-read and has a wide range of knowledge.

If Gu's parents had the courage to let go and train him, he would have had the possibility of integrating into society.

Being praised, Gu Kai looked shy.

"I'm going to work."

When Gu Kai was leaving, Xu Weitang stopped him and asked, "Do your parents agree that you can stay here?"

Gu Kai thought carefully about his parents' reactions and said, "They never objected. My dad has been busy with work recently and looks a little tired. He doesn't talk as much as before."

"Did your father used to talk a lot?"

"He often reminded me not to touch dangerous things and that some things were not suitable for me to do."

"You are an adult and have a sense of danger." Father Gu still treats him as a child.

"My mother always thinks that my father is too controlling and that's why I became like this." As Gu Kai spoke, he lowered his head embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head.

The Gu family is a kind father and a strict mother?

This is different from ordinary families!

Xu Weitang inexplicably felt more favorable towards Gu's mother, "Do you think your mother's point of view is correct?"

"People have to learn to be independent. I...I will try to live away from them." Gu Kai clenched his hands tightly as he spoke.

He didn't know if he could step out of his comfort zone and be his complete self, and he was cheering himself up.

Xu Weitang sensed his inner panic and nervousness, and encouraged him, "You can do it."

The prerequisite is that he and Gu's mother can convince Gu's father.

When Xu Weitang and Gu Mu met again, he realized that he had thought too much.

Gu's mother clearly realized her mistake. No matter how Gu's father opposed, she would suppress it forcefully and was determined to let Gu Kai become a normal person and have a normal life.

Xu Weitang's words gave Gu Kai more confidence. He raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her with a smile. The bright smile from the heart was a little dazzling.

He was wearing a blue work suit and a yellow safety helmet, but he still couldn't hide his bookish air. His smiling eyes were less timid and fearful, and more sunny and full of anticipation for the future.

In just a few days, he had undergone great changes while working with a group of workers.

Xu Weitang's eyes moved slightly.

The next day, after finishing work in the morning, she took the initiative to go to Gu's house to meet Gu's mother.

When Gu's mother saw her, her heart tightened, "Did something happen to Xiaokai?"

The next second, she realized that she had overreacted, "I'm sorry Miss Xu, you took good care of Gu Kai and wouldn't let anything happen to him."

"He is working with the master at the construction site." Xu Weitang handed the gift box in his hand to the servant beside him.

"Miss Xu, please take a seat." Gu's mother ordered the servants to make tea and prepare snacks, and invited Xu Weitong to sit on the sofa next to her.

Xu Weitang sat down gracefully.

"Thank you, Miss Xu, for taking care of Gu Kai these days."

"I only take care of him because he brings me breakfast every day."

The breakfast that Gu Kai brings to Xu Weitang every day is exquisite and different, and is made with great care. This thoughtfulness includes Gu's mother's love.

Xu Weitang's joking words softened the smile on Gu's mother's face. "In recent days, after get off work, he would stay in the kitchen and tinker with things."

"The young master also made breakfast for the past few days." The servant brought a plate of cloud cakes and chrysanthemum crisps, as well as a plate of fruit platter, and placed them in the middle of the coffee table. "The master and his wife have been eating a burnt breakfast for several days."

"You are the only one who talks too much!" Gu's mother scolded the servant with a smile.

"The master and his wife were so moved that they cried when they ate the food cooked by the young master for the first time. They ate all the breakfast made by the young master." Not a single bite was left.

"Just beg him to make breakfast as beautiful as he made this morning, or else he will leave all of it for you to make breakfast."

No matter how much emotion and maternal love you feel, it will disappear after eating black and inedible breakfast for several days in a row.

Gu's mother deliberately put on a stern face and spoke to the servant.

"Young Master is so smart that he learned how to make breakfast in just a few days. The breakfast I took out this morning was made by Young Master. It looks and tastes great."

After the servant finished speaking, Gu Mu looked at Xu Weitang.

This morning's breakfast was made by Gu Kai...

When Gu Mu looked over, Xu Weitang put away his surprise and said with a smile, "Breakfast is delicious."

"Gu Kai must be very happy to know that you like it." Xu's mother pushed the snacks in front of Xu Weitang, "Eat some snacks first, I'll have someone prepare lunch. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Auntie, I've already had lunch."

Gu's mother was very enthusiastic, and her attitude was completely different from that day's dinner. "Then stay and have dinner with us. You can chat with me."

"I have work to do this afternoon, so I can't stay long."

"Work is more important. We can have dinner together again when we have a chance." Gu Mu was reasonable. "You came to see me, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"If it's work-related, you have to wait until your uncle comes back."

Gu's mother is very sensible and she seldom asks about Gu's father's work.

"What I want to tell my aunt is about Gu Kai."

"As long as they don't ask us to take him away from the construction site, everything else can be discussed."

"..."Is Gu Mu relying on her?

"To be honest, the first time Gu Kai took the initiative to ask to go out, your uncle and I were so excited that we almost cried. If you kick him out of the construction site, it will have a great impact on him." Gu Kai has been staying at home every day in recent years. Apart from reading, painting, and practicing calligraphy, he just sits in a daze.

He seemed to be trapped in an isolated castle, without thoughts of his own, no different from a walking corpse.

They finally saw a stream of fresh blood injected into his body, just like people who had lived in darkness for a long time and finally saw the light. How could they give up so easily?

"Like you, I also want him to get better and better." Gu's mother did not hide Gu Kai's abnormality in front of Xu Weitang. Xu Weitang said frankly: "The workers on the construction site are mostly men who have been engaged in physical labor for a long time. They generally have low educational levels and casual living habits. Gu Kai has just left home. If he lives with them for a long time, it will affect his perception of the world."

Xu Weitang did not mean to discriminate against the workers. She was just speaking objectively. "He should broaden his horizons and meet more people."
