Yin Shaoyuan immediately returned with a bitter face, and even while eating he was dazed. Gu Xiqiao put down his phone after seeing his expression and said, “Alright, Tong Tong has also eaten, I will take him to the hospital. If you are busy, you can go first. ”
“I'll take you both to the hospital first.” Even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare to leave Gu Xiaoqiao alone. If something happened to him in his watch, Jiang Shuxuan would be forced to kill him.
He opened the door while talking, intending to let the two of them go first. However, when he looked around outside and his gaze was fixed on the figure hidden near the door, the corner of his mouth became strange. “Wait a minute, I'll be there soon. Make sure you don't leave! ”
Therefore, Yin Shaoyuan did not give Gu Xiqiao the chance to respond as she closed the door, walking to the figure hiding in the corner, pulling the person out. “Bu, what are you doing?”
Madame Yin looked shy arrested for a while, before enforcing, “I heard that you have found me a daughter-in-law and a cute granddaughter, so I came to see it myself.”
“F * ck, this ... no, who spilled these things into your ears?” Yin Shaoyuan's face flushed red, with a helpless and stunned look. “What do you mean daughter-in-law and granddaughter! That's brother! He just graduated school, what joke is this ?! ”
“What the fuck... is that true?” Madam Yin's eyes widened in surprise. He knew that his son was always fickle in terms of relationships, but when he heard the gossip he had gone through the moon, rushing over. Who knew that the reality was so, that it felt like Yin Shaoyuan had poured a bucket of cold water over it. However, she kept talking, “Last time you mentioned that you have met a sister, this is talking about her?”
“Quickly once.”
“When did you bring her home?”
“Soon. Don't look at me like that, nothing will happen between us. He belongs to Lord Jiang, I will not dare defile him with my hands. ” Yin Shaoyuan rushed over to add as a reminder, seeing the calculative look in her mother's eyes as soon as she said the words earlier.
Hearing those words, Madam Yin slumped in defeat. He knows when to give up, especially when the difference is obvious. Even if you offer the entire Yin family, no one dares to touch anyone who belongs to Jiang Shuxuan.
“Then I will go and see my daughter,” said Lady Yin with a slight frown, she has long wanted a daughter.
“No, now is not the right time.” Yin Shaoyuan said as he pulled out his phone. “I'll call Dad if you still don't want to go, and tell him that you've been playing online games in my room all night.”
“... The unfilial child!” Madam Yin snorted, as she turned to leave reluctantly. “Remember to make time to take her home!”
Yin Shaoyuan heaved a sigh of relief after he disappeared from sight, and returned to the private room where he left the others.
After sending Mu Jiatong back to the hospital, Gu Xiqiao requested that Yin Shaoyuan return first, as he would stay and accompany Mu Jiatong in the hospital. Yin Shaoyuan hesitated, not feeling comfortable to leave her alone, but she could not convince him, and could only nag him for a moment before getting into the car and leaving.
By the time Gu Xiqiao left the hospital, it was already night. As he walked along the road, a notification came from the System all of a sudden.
[Beauty Qiao, there's a car following you from behind.]
‘I know.’ Gu Xiqiao's five senses had been honed to be even more sensitive, and he felt himself being followed before the System told him.
[No malicious intent came from the car owner. Do you want me to disturb your position, Beauty Qiao?]
‘No need. ” Said Gu Xiqiao, stop. He turned his body slowly while waiting for the car to catch up with him, a blank expression on his face as he watched the black car approach. His eyes were half closed, and his eyes were empty.
The car slowed down to a stop beside him, and the window came down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. It was Gu Zuhui, the head of the Gu family!
Gu Xiqiao looked at him calmly, with no surprise on his face upon seeing him. After a while, he got into the car.
The reason the Gu family brought him in, was entirely under the old man's instructions. They were not sure what was going on with the Yin family, suddenly deciding to suppress the Gu family in every way. Not only that, even the other two neutral people started to block them, leaving them cornered with no way out.
At this moment, the old man suddenly remembered Gu Xiqiao. He knew that Gu Xiqiao was someone who had a close family relationship with his heart, and he would always return. She knew that she had a good relationship with the Yin family, but without her position as the second princess, what else did she have?
Gu Zuhui thought that he had seen all of this and counted.
Gu Xiqiao sat in the car, still having an indifferent expression on his face as he did not focus on a certain thing. After thinking about it for a while, he sent a text message to Jiang Shuxuan to let him know that he would return late.
The car stopped outside the gate of Gu Zuhui's house, and as the lights outside the window passed by hazyly, he recalled the feeling he felt when he first set foot into this place. Anxious, restless, anticipated, and now — his heart feels dead.
The joke should end now.
Gu Zuhui greeted Gu Xiqiao with a smile and politely, recalling Master Gu's words. He put on a friendly expression, a smile on his face as words of concern came out of his mouth as if it would cost him nothing to buy those words.
However, the girl beside him suddenly looked straight into his eyes, and it made him uncomfortable to look at her, and it turned out that he was not. It felt like he could see inside her, and everything in his heart was open for him to see. She felt that something was different to her daughter, but she could not explain it, and chose to swallow her words and remain silent.
When they returned to Gu Manor, they greeted Gu Xiqiao with the same cheer. Even Su Wan’er smiled, no matter how much hatred in his heart towards Gu Xiqiao, he would not dare to show it on his face. The head of the Gu family treated Gu Xiqiao like a treasure right now, and he did not dare to say anything about it. Her heart was bitter, but she swore inwardly that once Gu Xiqiao had surpassed its usefulness, she would definitely take everything back, including flowers!
“Because you are at home, you must stay in the future. There is nothing good about living outside, and there is also concern for you at home. ” Master Gu said, implying that they will no longer pursue past affairs. She was still a woman from the Gu family, and still held onto her inheritance.
With the love of his family and legacy, Mr. Gu believed that Gu Xiqiao would obey and listen to his words.
Gu Xiqiao listened to the spoken words, and only raised his head after he finished speaking, his eyes still emotionless. In just a month, he had exercised a lot, and filled quite a lot. She was slightly taller than before, a beautiful body with beautiful curves. Her skin was also better, her cheeks a natural reddish hue that signified she was healthy. Her skin was pale but not unnatural, and her beauty was really glowing and it was hard not to notice.
“Do you remember how I came back with you?” Gu Xiqiao said as he looked into Mr. Gu's eyes, with him recalling the memories back then. “You searched for me far away, and when you found me, you told me that I was not an orphan, that I had a family, and they were in N City.”
He stopped, smiling humorlessly. “You said you wanted to take me home to see my family, I used to trust you so much. For someone who knew from a young age that I was picked up from a God who knew where, and never knew who my biological parents were, do you understand how much I miss the word ‘family’? I see you all as my saviors from that torment, and that is also the reason why I am trying so hard to integrate myself into the family. “
“However, my biological father treated me like I was the biggest stain of his entire life! Ever since I came to the Gu family, you have all been sitting in your high chair, tell me with words and actions that I am not even fit to take a surname and will never be part of this family in anything but a name. . That I am just an illegitimate child who should never have seen the light of day, a disgrace to the prestigious Gu family! “
Gu Xiqiao stood in the middle of the living room, he stood with his back straight, and his eyes were cold with almost no hint of emotion in them.
He was just standing there, but everyone in the room felt the heavy atmosphere pressing down on them like a mountain, making it difficult to take the next breath every second.
Master Gu was staring at Gu Xiqiao, and many times looked like he wanted to stop his talk. However, even if he opened his mouth, those words would not come out. It was as if his entire being was out of his control, and as he looked at the girl standing in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
