Chapter 112 The Gatekeeper of Love

Seeing her son take Lin Shuyao upstairs, Gao Jie raised her foot to stop him, but was stopped by her daughter Gao Tingting.

"Mom, what my brother said makes sense. As long as Qingqing's identity is not made public, no one will know that she is my uncle's daughter. There's nothing wrong with her being with my brother. Please don't try to stop them."

"Stop messing around with your brother!" Gao Jie, annoyed that her daughter was stopping her, poked her forehead hard with her finger. "You're all bewitched by Shen Qing! Not to mention others, just look at your aunt. We're all together during holidays. If Shen Qing really marries your brother, she'll be constantly under your aunt's nose. After a while, she might find out! What will she think then? Huh?"

"Our whole family helped a bastard daughter deceive her, keeping her completely in the dark. With your aunt's personality, how could she not expose the truth? In that case, not only your uncle, but our entire family will suffer!"

Gao Tingting imagined the scene, and it was indeed quite terrifying.

"How about having my older brother and sister-in-law live further away after the wedding, instead of in the family compound?"

Gao Jie glanced at her daughter sideways: "Wouldn't that just make things more obvious?"

"What can we do?" Gao Tingting was at a loss. She pulled her mother to sit down on the sofa, looking up at the sky speechlessly. "My older brother finally met someone he likes, and they're not related by blood, but they can't be together because of my uncle's status. It's such a pity..."

Gao Jie's anger had subsided a bit by now, but she complained helplessly, "There are plenty of regrettable things. Shen Qing isn't the only woman in the world. Your brother is just being stubborn!"

Gao Tingting chuckled dryly twice. "There are indeed many women in the world, but how many look like Qingqing? No wonder my older brother looks down on Zhou Liya and Zhao Tiemei; it's hard to go from beautiful to ugly!"

"What's so difficult about it? They all have two eyes and one mouth. Shen Qing just has fairer skin, bigger eyes, and more juicy lips, and her figure..." Gao Jie couldn't continue her rant. It was undeniable that Shen Qing was indeed beautiful, and it was normal for her son to be attracted to her. She was completely at a loss and couldn't do anything about her son. She knew her son's personality better than anyone. Once he made up his mind, not even ten oxen could pull him back. He was incredibly stubborn.

"Ugh! This is so annoying! Your brother has never given me any trouble since we were kids, and now I'm going through my rebellious phase!"

She raised a hand to rub her temple, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap flies. As she rubbed, something occurred to her, and she abruptly stood up. "No, I have to go upstairs right now and check on them. I can't let those two do anything reckless in the house!"

Gao Tingting couldn't let her own mother go up there, so she quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Hey Mom, let me massage your shoulders. Look at how much you've been worrying lately, you even have gray hair."

"Oh?! You have gray hairs! Where are they?" Gao Jie, ever the vain one, immediately plopped back down on the sofa and leaned close to her daughter. "Plucking them out for me right now!"

Gao Tingting solemnly brushed her mother's hair aside, "Don't move, hey, I just saw that..."

She hesitated for a long time, then casually pulled one up and threw it on the ground.

"Let me see!" Gao Jie covered her scalp and turned to look at the white hair she had plucked out. Gao Tingting spread her hands and made an apologetic gesture, "It's already thrown away."

"You silly child!" Gao Jie straightened up helplessly, but after a few seconds she remembered her son, "Oh dear, I almost forgot, I'll go see what your brother is doing in his room!"

"Oh Mom, stop looking. I'm going to see my brother. You go find Auntie; didn't you say you were going to bring her a bowl of the stewed beef brisket you made for lunch?"

"Look at my memory! I'm going to your aunt's house. You hurry upstairs to your brother's room and keep an eye on them. Don't let them do anything reckless!" Gao Jie sternly instructed her daughter before getting up and heading to the kitchen.

After she filled a lunchbox with beef brisket and went out, Gao Tingting stayed curled up on the sofa without moving, and picked up a comic book to read by herself.

She's not going to be a third wheel.

She wanted to be the guardian of her brother's love, standing guard for them every single time!
