Gu Manor was completely silent.
It wasn't too late, but Gu Zuhui and Su Wan’er sat in the living room, and upon seeing Gu Xiqiao enter with a calm expression, Gu Zuhui threw his cup to the floor in frustration. “Unfilial princess, stand there!”
Gu Xiqiao stopped in his steps, feeling his head spin on those two words.
Returning to his past life, he would argue endlessly with Gu Zuhui if something like this were to happen, he said, and he fantasizes that people who have misunderstood will realize that they are wrong and guilty, and in turn, be nice to him as they should be.
But he never knew that these people always thought that he was returning to the Gu family for their wealth, and of course, these people who had always been prejudiced against him, he said, who never looked him in the eye, who never cared for him, and would never feel guilty for him in the slightest!
Gu Xiqiao tried his best to put on a straight face, looked at Gu Zuhui and smiled gently. “Ya what is it?”
His gaze was calm and serene, and his back was upright, the chandelier above him covering himself with a halo.
Gu Zuhui was stunned by this reaction, while Su Wan’er stood up with a mocking expression.
“Gu Xiqiao, you need to understand that the Gu family has done all we can by accepting you in our house! We didn't even ask you to contribute to the family, just learn your manners and stop to stop humiliating the Gu Family, but what have you done? I'm not going to criticize you for not coming back for two days and two nights during the holidays, but you're in your final year of school! The exam is just around the corner, and we don't even expect you to get into a good school, be a clean and holy girl who won't embarrass our family! ”
After he said so, the living room returned to a deafening silence that made the servants want to escape back to their residence.
Gu Xiqiao chuckled softly before looking at Gu Zuhui. “I am not holy? That's what you're thinking too.. Dad…? ”
The last word was spoken so, so lightly, as if it was a flickering candle that could be blown with a gentle breeze.
This was the first time Gu Xiqiao had called this person in front of ‘Hahya’. He was his father, bound by blood, the person closest to him in this entire world. All he wanted was for her to be fair.
Look at that woman.
But in the end, he was always, always shunned.
Seeing Gu Xiqiao's show of fragility, Gu Zuhui also didn't know what to do, so he just sat down and waved away. “Go upstairs, and learn well in the future. Our family was a merchant family, but we were also a clean family. ”
Uh.
So in his eyes, he had always been a stain on the Gu family's clean resume, and that never changed.
Why would he expect anything different?
Gu Xiqiao looked up and took a deep breath, blinking his tears. Without saying a word, he walked over to the landline and dialed the phone number of Old Ban, who entered quickly.
Then, he handed the phone to Gu Zuhui. “I just called my class teacher, she'll tell you why I've been home late these past few days. You are my parents, so I respect you and listen to what you have to say, but I hope you can also be fair to me. I came home late, so it must be my fault? I made a dirty transaction outside? Am I that kind of person in your eyes? “
He did not even try to reveal the fact that the driver left without him. If Gu Xijin did such a thing, he would prepare an excuse for it. Now, he could only expect Old Ban to help him.
Gu Zuhui and Su Wan’er clearly did not expect Gu Xiqiao to reply like that, and after seeing his expression, Gu Zuhui's blaming words were stuck in his throat.
After which, Gu Zuhui picked up the phone and spoke to the person on the other side. Quickly, the stiff expression melted into a somewhat pleased one, and after he hung up the phone, he looked towards Gu Xiqiao with a smile that could be described as ‘banggare’.
He had always thought that Gu Xiqiao was lazy and unredeemable, but it seemed that he was not that bad.
“Your class teacher told me that you stay in class every night to ask questions about your lessons and that your attitude in class is very diligent with great progress in your lessons. Quite simply, this was what a member of the Gu family should be like. Although you are not as good as your brother, but you are also amazing. ” Gu Zuhui praised him uncharacteristically. “Alright, go up now.”
Gu Xiqiao slowly nodded and went to the stairs, and even though he was out of trouble, his blood turned cold.
So in the end, nothing happened to Gu Xiqiao, it was just a joke!
A joke!
Su Wan’er was shaken in anger as he pointed at Gu Zuhui. “Gu Zuhui, did you deliberately upset me because of this dirty-blooded girl ?! Do you want me to die of anger? What, am I an evil stepmother who can't even educate her ?! ”
Cue Gu Zuhui apologized.
No one noticed that the ashtray had flown towards Gu Xiqiao's head. When it flew to his head, it stopped in the air for a few seconds as he continued walking forward slowly, before falling to the floor with ‘dentang’.
Returning to his room, Gu Xiqiao closed and locked the door.
[We don't have to do the mission today anymore, let's go to sleep, huh?] The caring sound of the spirit system rang beside him.
Gu Xiqiao shook his head and took out the rest of the clean clothes before walking into the bathroom. “No need, I will still practice writing for two hours and write some points for Mandarin, but I will not be in the virtual room for too long.”
Although he was already used to this, but when he sensed it again, Gu Xiqiao could not help feeling sad and sad.
As expected, it is best not to have any expectations.
After taking a bath, he threw every bad thought to the back of his head and started studying in the virtual room.
To distract him, the system spirit took out scrolls about ancient martial arts. [Beauty Qiao, I will teach you ancient martial arts every day to prevent you from being bullied! How much you can learn depends on your potential!]
“Good.” Gu Xiqiao looked up and suddenly thought of a question. “System, how are the male points you need to level up?”
[100, will the Madam raise my level?] The system is pretty fun.
“...Not now.” He still owes!
[Don't be like this, ma'am. I've got a reward for you if you raise my level! Once I reach Level One, you can get an inventory with 10 spaces, isn't that interesting?]
“...No.”
[…]
The next morning, Gu Xiqiao woke up as scheduled.
Su Wan’er wasn't there at breakfast, definitely still confused by what happened the night before.
Meanwhile, Gu Zuhui rarely paid any attention to Gu Xiqiao. “You are at the age when you grow up, you can't eat a little. Aunt Lee, get your Second Miss a cup of milk. “
Gu Xiqiao thanked him lightly, the change in attitude towards him did not affect his emotions in the slightest.
Gu Xijin who was sitting at the side looked at Gu Xiqiao, his gaze was like a predator, and when the first one looked at him, he blinked and smiled. “Daddy right! You are at the age where you are growing up, little brother, so you should have enough nutrition! ”
Gu Xiqiao had just finished his breakfast, and he took over the milk box given by the waiter along with his backpack, walking towards the entrance without a word.
Gu Xijin drank his milk cup, before taking his backpack and following Gu Xiqiao with a few quick steps.
