Background / History
Separating the Childhood Friends
When Gu Chengyuan and Shao Chongsi were nine, Gu Chengyuan saved Shao Chongsi from drowning and subsequently suffered a high fever for several days. Lan Qing concealed her son’s involvement and cut off contact between the boys. With Gu Chengyuan absent, Yunxi tacitly accepted credit for the rescue. Shao Chongsi searched unsuccessfully for Gu Chengyuan and eventually believed that he had drowned 279.
Watching the Dating Show
Lan Qing watched the dating-show livestream over afternoon tea with Murong Xue and Ning Xia in a luxurious private room at an upscale restaurant in the Capital. Initially, she was relieved that Chi Yining was no longer clinging to her son. After four days, however, she realized that his attention had shifted to Yan Guiyun just as Gu Chengyuan was beginning to pursue him 97.
Despite disliking Chi Yining, Lan Qing supported her son’s choice and bet on him winning his affection. Her confidence had rested on Chi Yining’s previous infatuation with Gu Chengyuan. Watching Yan Guiyun gain the advantage instead, she complained to Murong Xue that her son was too scheming and admitted to herself that Gu Chengyuan had failed to stand out on the show 97 98.
The Gu Family Confrontation
During the public scandal surrounding Gu Chengyuan, Lan Qing cried and screamed at Gu Kai, grabbing his collar and demanding how she could show her face. Gu Kai admitted that he had indulged her, chosen her over their son, and left Gu Chengyuan to bear the consequences alone. He described both parents as selfish and begged her to let go and see a therapist 224.
Appearance
Personality
Lan Qing is explicitly described as extremely controlling, most clearly demonstrated by her decision to conceal Gu Chengyuan’s childhood rescue and sever his contact with Shao Chongsi. Her concern with social reputation also surfaces during her confrontation with Gu Kai, when she focuses on her own embarrassment over their son’s scandal 224 279.
She is proud of Gu Chengyuan and protective of him, objecting to both Yan Guiyun’s romantic tactics and Shao Chongsi’s sharp treatment of her son. Although she intensely dislikes Chi Yining, she is willing to back Gu Chengyuan’s pursuit because it is his decision 97 98.
