Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171: 294: Your mom is always your mom!

"Oh." Zhao Yu lifted the lid, and a faint fragrance instantly wafted through the air.

At first, it smelled a bit like roses, but upon closer sniff, it seemed like the fresh aroma of gardenias.

The scent was very refreshing and not at all overpowering.

"Wow! This feels so cool and refreshing when applied, so comfortable!" Zhao Yu happily squinted her eyes in comfort.

After applying the essential oil, Zhao Yu jumped off the bed and began rummaging through her small leather suitcase for clothes.

"Mom, which piece of clothing do you think will look nicer on me for tomorrow?"

Ni Yang turned her head to glance at her, seriously contemplating the clothes in the suitcase, then said, "This pair of denim overalls is pretty good."

Zhao Yu had a lively personality and her looks tended toward the sweet and cute style, suiting her for more playful attire.

"Then I’ll go with this pair of denim overalls!" Zhao Yu took out the denim overalls separately and then added, "Mom, what are you going to wear tomorrow?"

Ni Yang replied with a smile, "Anything I wear will be fine."

Ni Yang’s wardrobe, apart from white T-shirts and jeans, was pretty much the same, either cheongsams or retro shirts with crossed collars, so there wasn’t much to choose from.

The next morning, after breakfast, Ni Yang took Zhao Yu to visit Grandfather Du and Du Jiaojiao.

Since Ni Yang didn’t own a car in Shanghai, they had to take a taxi there.

"Master, please take us to the Du Residence on Chang’an Road."

Hearing this, the driver glanced at Ni Yang, an unusual look crossing his eyes.

What sort of place was the Du Residence on Chang’an Road?

Was it somewhere ordinary people could go?

Who would have thought that this young girl was related to that master!

The driver swallowed.

In a short while, the car stopped at the roadside.

Ni Yang asked with confusion, "Master, aren’t we going any further ahead?"

The driver explained, "We can’t drive into that area ahead. Miss, just walk over there, and after turning a corner, you will see the Du Residence."

This was Grandfather Du’s turf; no way they could enter.

And to think this young lady didn’t even know that, what was her relationship with Grandfather Du?

Was she here to do odd jobs for the Du Family?

"Let’s hurry over and knock on the door," Zhao Yu said with eagerness.

"Hmm."

"May I ask for your surnames, ladies, and whom you are looking for?" The man who opened the door was a very kind-looking old man, who also served as the old butler of the Du Residence.

Traditionally, anyone who came to ask to see Grandfather Du was simply turned away at the door.

Grandfather Du wasn’t someone just anyone could meet.

But ever since Grandfather Du returned from Beijing, this tradition had changed.

He specifically instructed the gatekeeper and the old butler that if anyone came to ask for a meeting in the future, they must inquire about the visitor’s surname. Only after he had reviewed it could the gatekeeper turn the guests away.

Zhao Yu promptly said, "My surname is Zhao, and this is my mom; her surname is Ni. We’re here to see Grandfather Du!"

The old butler frowned, "Ah? What young lady? I didn’t hear clearly, who did you say she is? Your sister?"

"No!" Zhao Yu quickly waved her hands and raised her voice, "She is my mom!"

"Your mom?" The old butler’s eyes widened, he looked at Ni Yang, and then at Zhao Yu, muttering softly, "Doesn’t look like it at all! I don’t see how the mother looks younger than the daughter? Could it be my old eyes going bad? Ah, I’m getting old and can’t even see people clearly anymore!"
