Chapter 397 Dongfang Shaoze suddenly regretted his decision of having his father meet Gu Ruoyun . Honestly, the temperaments of both parties were equally stubborn . If one of them would actually be willing to soften up, perhaps the situation would be far more harmonious . Unfortunately, both parties were not the kind of people who would give in .
Perhaps only one person can help them . . . . . . Sunrise . In the Dongfang Family's rear courtyard, Gu Ruoyun slowly opened her bedroom door . A familiar figure fell within her sights . The man's features were gentle, his lips were raised into a smile as he greeted her, "Yun'er, did you sleep well?"
"Not too badly . " Gu Ruoyun nodded, "Uncle, why are you here so early in the morning?" "Yun'er," Dongfang Shaoze paused gracefully, then replied with an even pace, "I want to take you to a place to meet someone . That person had always wanted to see you . . . " Gu Ruoyun fell momentarily silent before she asked, "Is that person related to the Dongfang Family?" "That's right . She is indeed a member of the Dongfang household but I think you might get along very well with her . " Ever since big sister's death, he thought, she had become a hermit in the mountains . No matter how much father had pleaded with her, she refused to set one foot off the mountain . Perhaps, the only person who can persuade her to leave the mountain would be Yun'er . . .
She certainly would be very happy to meet Yun'er . "Alright," Gu Ruoyun raised her head to look at Dongfang Shaoze, "I'll follow you and have a look . As long as her temper isn't like that old fart's, I shouldn't have any conflicts with her . " Hearing this, Dongfang Shaoze smiled bitterly, The personalities of both this young one and that old one were far too similar . It's impossible for them to not be maternal grandfather and grandchild . "Let's go, Yun'er, I think you'll like her very much . " Ever since Dongfang Yu's death over ten years ago, this mountain at the back had become a forbidden strip of land in the Dongfang Family . Aside from the Master and the Young Master, anyone who set foot in the mountain will suffer a severe punishment .
Hence, in the land surrounding the mountain, there wasn't a single soul in sight . At this moment, in a lonely cottage within the mountain, a beautiful woman in blue robes was sitting in front of a table as she gracefully sipped on the fumes of a dazzling tea . It goes without saying that this beautiful woman was stunning . She had the kind of beauty that could cause the downfall of cities . However, there was a freshness and a sense of purity about her beauty, it was hard to imagine that someone could mix such opposing auras together . It was a sight that both warms the heart and delights the eye . Perhaps, due to good self-care, the beautiful woman had no wrinkles on her face . Her graceful and unhurried air displayed the maturity of her age . However, her white hair still exposed her true age . . . "Ze'er, you're here to pay me a visit?" Sensing the presence at the door, the beautiful woman curled her lips into a smile as she raised her beautiful eyebrows and turned her eyes, like clear autumn waters, towards the outside area of the cottage . But when she saw the young girl next to Dongfang Shaoze, the smile on the beautiful woman's face froze in place . She rose from the rattan chair and stared at Gu Ruoyun as her eyes welled up with tears . "Yu'er, Yu'er, you've returned?" The beautiful woman's hand was pressed tightly onto the table, causing its surface to shake . Her eyes remained glued to the face which had filled her thoughts every minute of the day as if she feared that the person would disappear like a hallucination when she blinked . Gu Ruoyun stayed silent as she watched the beautiful woman's excited and nervous expression . Something stirred from within her heart . It was the kind of sensation that felt as if something in those eyes connected deeply with her . . .
