Naturally, he had no idea about Bai Tianyu's relationship with his stepmother.
I thought Bai Tianyu just looked young, but he's actually the same age as Gu Jia.
They became so respectful, as if it were only natural.
The elevator ride up was very quiet.
Gu Jia tried to get closer to Bai Tianyu, but Bai Tianyu ignored her.
So Gu Jia opened her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.
Bai Tianyu, standing to the side, was speechless.
Isn't this woman quite good at interacting with people?
Why do I become mute when I'm around myself?
Little did they know that it was precisely because of Bai Tianyu's charismatic aura.
Gu Jia initially thought that Bai Tianyu had a very good temperament and appearance.
But only for a short while, influenced by the halo of charm.
Gu Jia found Bai Tianyu more and more pleasing to the eye, and even had the idea of going up and kissing him.
However, Gu Jia still had her husband and children on her mind, and she quickly came to her senses.
Gu Jia, what are you thinking?
You are a married woman!
The other party is also a married man!
And so, silence became the main theme of the elevator.
Fortunately, the silence did not last long.
We arrived because of the elevator.
"........."

Chapter Seven: Gu Jia's Intentions
"Little White, you're finally back!"
"Honestly, you didn't come home all night. Do you know how worried I was?"
As soon as Bai Tianyu stepped out of the elevator, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door, staring longingly at the elevator.
Upon seeing Bai Tianyu, his eyes lit up and he rushed over.
She hugged Bai Tianyu tightly and started chattering away.
This left Gu Jia feeling awkward, unsure whether to leave or stay.
I was also a little curious.
Judging from Bai's mother's attitude, Bai Tianyu doesn't seem like her man at all.
So who exactly is Bai Tianyu?
Surely he can't be a gigolo she's keeping, right?
The more she thought about it, the more certain she became.
Just when Gu Jia really thought that Bai Tianyu was a gigolo kept by Bai's mother.
But the next second, she was proven wrong.
"Mom, I only missed one night before I came, so what?"
"Let me go! There are other people around!"
After struggling for a while, Bai Tianyu broke free from her mother's embrace.
The reason he rarely went home was that he couldn't stand Bai's mother's enthusiasm.
If she hadn't done nothing inappropriate, Bai Tianyu would have suspected that she was after his body for the sake of the family fortune.
"Ahem, I was just a little excited. Who are you?"
After clearing her throat twice, Bai's mother calmed her excited emotions, looked at Gu Jia, and frowned in confusion.
She had no recollection of Gu Jia whatsoever.
Could it be someone from the property management?
Gu Jia gave an awkward smile.
He hurriedly explained.
"I'm a neighbor who moved in recently; I live downstairs."
"I thought I'd come over and say hello, so I took the liberty of coming up here."
"I hope Mrs. Bai won't mind."
When Bai's mother heard that the other party had come up without her consent, she immediately became furious.
Just as he opened his mouth to scold Gu Jia, Bai Tianyu hurriedly spoke up.
"Mom, let's go inside and talk."
"Guests are welcome. I've come all this way, I can't just talk outside."
Seeing Bai Tianyu smooth things over for her, Gu Jia gave him a grateful look.
She could tell that Bai's mother didn't welcome her arrival.
Needless to say, her arrival also interrupted the reunion between mother and son.
This made her even more unhappy.
If it were Gu Jia herself, she would also subconsciously try to get rid of people.
However, she did not expect that Bai Tianyu would speak up for her.
Her feelings of goodwill towards Bai Tianyu increased considerably.
Not to mention that she had just mistakenly thought Bai Tianyu was a gigolo.
You're overthinking it. I never imagined that Bai Tianyu was actually Bai's mother's son. He's really young.
It's not that she looks young.
"Alright then, come in."
"For my son's sake, I hope you'll leave after stating your purpose."
Bai's mother smiled and said something to Bai Tianyu, then turned to Gu Jia with a cold face.
This is no ordinary place.
That's how the prices at Junyue Mansion are: the higher the floor and the more luxurious the decoration, the higher the price.
The top-level Bai Mu certainly has the right to say that, and Gu Jia's excuse is obviously untenable.
So Bai's mother treated her as someone who had come to curry favor with her.
She's seen plenty of people like that since moving into the Junyue Mansion over the years.
"Xiao Bai, you've really gotten more and more handsome in the last few months."
"Have you found a girlfriend?"
Bai's mother held Bai Tianyu's hand, ignoring Gu Jia, and started nagging all the way.
Bai Tianyu really regretted going home.
"........."
Gu Jia followed the two into the hall with a forced smile.
Looking at the luxurious hall, a hint of surprise and envy flashed in Gu Jia's eyes.
The top floor and the floors below it are not even in the same league.
The luxurious, single-level apartment has a lobby that is incomparable to anything downstairs.
It's so luxurious! This hall alone must be ten meters high.
Not to mention that there are probably three layers in this design.
The main entrance and corridors are both carved from marble.
Everything she saw along the way felt incredibly luxurious to her.
"Mom, I'm going to put my luggage away."
"Please have a nice chat. They're not here to argue with you."
Breaking free from Bai Mu's arm, Bai Tianyu hurriedly said.
Before leaving, he said a kind word for Gu Jia and then departed.
"Oh, this kid."
After Bai Tianyu left, Bai's mother was visibly downcast.
He then looked at Gu Jia, sat down on the sofa, and said calmly.
"Speak, what brings you here?"
Gu Jia naturally knew that it was Bai Tianyu's words that gave her the opportunity to speak, so she naturally cherished this opportunity.
"Yes, this is it. I just came to give you a small gift."
"This is a cake I made; it's low in sugar and low in fat."
"I just wanted to get to know you, that's all."
"If you mind, I can leave, but please do try the cake!"
As she spoke, Gu Jia placed the cake she was carrying on the expensive coffee table.
