Halfway down the stairs, Gu Feng caught up to Lu Anqing and held her hand to support her. He was honestly a little bit scared that his wife would trip and fall, so he had to slightly rush his steps.
Actually, the bodyguards already knew that there was a commotion when Yan Rumei and the others were still in the elevator area.
They sent a bodyguard to go and check it out for any possible risk for their Boss and Madam. Although they were at the most famous and expensive hotel in City D, Tianlong Hotel with good security, this place is still considered a public area and they needed to act with the highest caution.
When the bodyguard arrived, he saw Bodyguard Bo immediately and recognized their Madam's daughter, their new Miss, Yan Rumei.
He reported it without further ado to his superior who was with their Boss and Madam inside the private room.
The superior in turn whispered the news to their Boss.
Gu Feng wasn't worried because he knew that if something bad were to happen, the appointed Bodyguard Bo would be able to protect Yan Rumei. In addition, the bodyguard who reported it is still also present on the scene.
When he received the next news, where the crazy woman tried to pull Yan Rumei's hair near the entrance area of the restaurant, his brows slightly crumpled.
He ordered the man to find out everything about the crazy woman. Yes, everything.
He then told his wife about the situation. Lu Anqing, worried, went out of the private room to go and meet Yan Rumei sooner.
When they're out of the private room, Lu Anqing rushed to the second-floor railings where she could overlook the first floor.
There, they saw the commotion, and also heard the things that were said.
Lu Anqing wanted to rush over but he was stopped by Gu Feng, "Qingqing, let your daughter handle it. She seems like a capable person, so you must believe in her. Let's just watch from here and if it really needs to, I promise you that my men will rush to help her immediately."
Indeed, Gu Feng was right on his assessment of Yan Rumei. She handled the situation really well despite having not much exposure to high society.
She was strict and even showed a slight autocratic side. She didn't budge when she was called fake, instead she continued to stand tall and straight.
In the end, she also showed a lenient side. That side is actually not bad either.
Those were some of the basic attributes of a ruler. So, Gu Feng was quite happy and satisfied internally.
He knew that Lu Anqing would raise her child well.
He also knew a lot of things from his men's investigations of Yan Rumei.
How she studied really hard. How she was able to find a decent job from City H to City D. How she was promoted to Accounts Manager in just a few years. How she was highly praised by her clients.
Although he knew all this, it was still different from seeing her abilities with his own eyes.
[She, Ming'er and Cheng'er can help each other in the future.]
With that thought, his heart softened.
---
When they were just a few meters away from Yan Rumei, Lu Anqing finally couldn't help it anymore that she let go of Gu Feng's hands and increased her speed to reach her.
"Meimei... Are you alright?" Lu Anqing held her free hand and asked worriedly.
Finally seeing her mom up close, Yan Rumei's face softened, and she felt a little emotional.
Although she regularly calls and checks up on her via her phone, it has been a long time since she saw her mom in person.
She couldn't go home during holidays due to the massive workload Si Liwei dumped on her since she was hired at his company.
Because of all her hard work, she was also able to save extra. Before, she wanted her mom to come to City D instead to visit her during holidays, but her mom didn't want to and just convinced her to save it.
So, she did. She actually already applied for a mortgage last month so that she can buy at least a 2-bedroom bungalow house so that her mom can live with her.
Her apartment was just a 120-square foot studio unit. It would be too cramped for 2 people to live in there, and she's too old to sleep with her mom in the same bed.
That goal was her only remaining straw of staying at Si Liwei's company.
She honestly wanted to leave a long time ago. She even thought of applying to other bookkeeping companies, she even prepared an updated resume and portfolio.
In the end, she never had time to even find a better company and even if she did, she didn't have any time to go for an interview. She also did not want to alert Si Liwei, otherwise, the treatment on her will just become worse. Just look at the result earlier.
So, when she heard that her mom suddenly found someone to marry and she's now living comfortably, that straw finally snapped.
Hence, the prompt decision to quit.
Yan Rumei pursed her lips, trying to hold her emotions in, and replied. "I'm fine mom. How are you? I missed you."
Lu Anqing's heart broke when she saw her only child act like that. "Oh, this child." She moved closer to hug Yan Rumei.
When Yan Rumei heard her mom call her 'child' in front of many people, her face blushed but still proceeded to wrap her free hand around her. "Mom, I'm no longer a child."
While they are having a mother and daughter reunion, both the restaurant and hotel staff present were slightly trembling in fear.
[The... the... the CEO of Gu Corporation held this lady's hand.]
[This lady is this angel Miss'... mother.]
[So, that is why that fellow staff called for Code Gray. The angel Miss must've shown her a Gu Corporation identity card. But, holy crap! This involves CEO Gu Feng! This... this can even be considered Code Orange!!!]
[A-a-are we going to lose our jobs today? Wu wu wu.]
