Chapter 9
Gu Wan’an lowered her head and her heart fluttered slightly looking at the man’s hand on her wrist.
Although she knew he was acting, to be valiantly defended in public felt quite heartwarming.
“Second Brother, Big Brother is doing this for your own good. I’m worried that you’ll be wearing a green hat. You are already a cripple, it would be too humiliating to get cheated on by a woman.” Gong Lianjue continued to taunt him without relenting.
Way too rude, right?
Moreover, the old man was so blatantly biased that he didn’t even intervene.
Gong Mingye’s situation in the Gong family was indeed not very good.
Since he was done with his play, it was her turn to act.
Gu Wan’an straightened her back and chuckled. “Big brother, even primary school students know how to care for the disabled. Now that you’re calling them a cripple and mocking them, do you know what this means? It’s considered bullying the weak, being immoral, and having an upbringing not even as good as a primary school student. It’s really a disgrace.”
“You have no right to speak here.” Rebuked, Gong Lianjue’s face darkened.
Gong Mingye didn’t say anything. He looked at the two argue and his thin lips curled up with a hint of playfulness.
“Big Brother, what are you saying? He’s my husband, isn’t it natural for a wife to defend her husband? ” As soon as she was done speaking, she smiled sweetly at Old Master Gong. “Don’t you agree, Grandpa?”
“Hmm.”
Old Master Gong spoke out and reprimanded Gong Lianjue. “What are you doing, making a ruckus so early in the morning? Call the people first and then proceed with the toast.”
Deflated, Gong Lianjue’s eyes darkened and his stomach was filled with anger. He glared at Gong Mingye and Gu Wan’an fiercely.
Damn it, she actually dared to scold him!
A cripple and a slut, a perfect match indeed!
Gong Mingye treated him like air and ignored him.
His thoughtful gaze fell on Gu Wan’an.
Unexpectedly, she wasn’t just an empty vase but had some guts and brains.
In a corner that no one was paying attention to, Gong Chengxuan’s pea-sized eyes were sizing up the woman.
A good figure, with a pure and fresh look. She was really different from the flirtatious sluts outside.
Her smile was sweet, and her eyes were like a soul-seducing charm, making one’s heart itch…
The Gong family was indeed big.
It took a long time to get acquainted with the direct family line and all the collateral relatives.
Next, it was time for a toast.
The old butler had just handed a cup to Gong Mingye when it was snatched away by Gong Lianjue. “We are having a toast, not a cup of tea. Don’t you understand?”
The old butler looked troubled. “Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master can’t drink, he has a serious alcohol intolerance.”
“He’s a cripple, it’s not like he doesn’t have a mouth. Can’t he even drink?”
Gong Lianjue was worried that he would have no place to vent his anger after his loss of face earlier. Now, new anger was added to old grudges and his resentment was surging.
“It’s a rare joyous day, drink.” Old Master Gong said faintly.
The old butler wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Butler Zhang, pour the wine.” Gong Mingye’s expression was mocking, and his eyes were cold.
The old butler had no choice but to pour the wine.
The first elder to toast was Gong Chengxuan.
Gong Mingye was too lazy to speak and without looking up, he drank the glass of wine directly.
“Second Uncle,” Gu Wan’an called out softly.
“Hey, this glass of wine is too full, girls should drink less. Let’s change it to half a glass.” Gong Chengxuan had a warm and gentle expression.
Hearing this, Gu Wan’an was a little flattered by the favor and had a few more good feelings. She handed the wine over. “Thank you, Second Uncle, but no need.”
Gong Chengxuan took the wine gracefully and also took the opportunity to touch the back of her hand.
As if scalded, she quickly retracted her hand.
The alcohol content was very high and after drinking a glass, Gu Wan’an felt a burning sensation in her throat and her nose.
She glanced at Gong Mingye from the corner of her eye and saw that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, his jaw was tightened, and his expression was extremely ugly.
