After returning home, Gu's mother could hardly wait to change her clothes before she eagerly called Gu Tingjue.
Gu Tingjue, who rarely had the chance to sleep in on a weekend, was now woken up by his mother's phone call.
But he couldn't ignore the Empress Dowager's call; otherwise, his mother would just keep calling.
Then he wouldn't be able to enjoy his day in peace.
Gu Tingjue knew his mother very well.
Since his father had passed away early, he was her main support, so she focused almost all of her attention on him.
Gu Tingjue gave up on trying to sleep, answered the phone, and walked out to the balcony.
"Mom, what's up so early? Is something the matter?" Gu Tingjue asked, his voice still husky from just waking up.
"Tingjue, guess who I ran into today?" his mother asked with a mysterious air.
Gu Tingjue sighed helplessly, "Mom, did you call just to ask me such a boring question? You meet so many people every day, how would I know?"
