"Yaoyao, call your second brother." Newest update provıded by novᴇlfire.net
"Yes, hurry up and call him, the wedding is about to start."
Gu Yao took out her phone, looked at Gu Sheng’s number, and hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to dial.
Waiting anxiously for him to pick up, but there was no response.
Gu Yao called three times in a row, but Gu Sheng didn’t answer.
"Mom, second brother didn’t answer."
Gu Yao didn’t know if it was because Gu Sheng was inconvenienced or if he didn’t want to take her call.
"Use mine." Mrs. Gu dialed Gu Sheng’s number with her own phone, and this time it was quickly answered.
Seeing that the call was connected, Gu Yao had mixed feelings.
Second brother was still mad at her.
After the call was connected, Mrs. Gu directly handed the phone to Gu Yao, urging her to talk to Gu Sheng.
Gu Yao put the phone to her ear, thinking about what to say, when the other person spoke first.
"Mom?" From the phone, came Gu Sheng’s tired, hoarse voice, as if he hadn’t rested properly for a long time.
Gu Yao couldn’t associate this voice with the gentle Gu Sheng she knew back in the United Kingdom, who would smile as soon as he saw her, whose eyes sparkled when he looked at her.
Gu Yao’s eyes warmed up and her throat tightened. She instinctively clenched her skirt, and when she spoke, her voice trembled.
"..." Gu Yao looked at the disconnected call, feeling a sting in her nose, almost bringing her to tears.
Seeing this, Mrs. Gu took her phone back from Gu Yao and called again, but no matter how many times she tried, Gu Sheng didn’t answer or reply to messages.
Looking at Gu Yao, who had her head lowered, Mrs. Gu offered a few comforting words.
Then she dialed Gu Li’s number.
"Ali, call Asheng and ask where he is. The wedding is about to start, and we don’t know where he is."
Hearing Mrs. Gu’s words, Gu Yao immediately looked up.
"Alright, alright, are you ready then?"
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After a few words, Mrs. Gu hung up the phone and said to Gu Yao, "Your second brother is with your big brother, they’ll be here soon, don’t worry."
"Yaoyao, after your big brother’s wedding, are you still going to the United Kingdom?"
"..." Gu Yao lowered her head, not answering.
"Yaoyao, that child from the Shangguan Family..."
"Mom, don’t mention him."
"Alright, alright, I won’t mention him. When your second brother arrives later, have a good talk with him. In fact, out of everyone in our family, it’s your second brother who adores you the most."
"He just has a difficult personality. He would rather let others hit him than let anyone touch you. I know sometimes he goes too far, but he truly cherishes you."
"Oh, this ring is beautiful." Madam Shangguan lifted Wen Xiao’ai’s hand, admiring the ring on her finger, full of envy.
"Hehe, Jun Moyan gave it to me." Wen Xiao’ai looked at Jun Moyan, recalling how he kissed her before, feeling as sweet as honey.
Jun Moyan didn’t say anything, just smiled and patted her on her head.
"Ah, I wonder when that brat Ayu will bring me a daughter-in-law. It’s really worrying me." Madam Shangguan sighed repeatedly.
"At least Moyan is worry-free. Back then, I didn’t worry about that kid at all; I worried about Moyan instead. Turns out, I worried completely wrong."
