"Second Brother is mighty!"
"Second Brother looks so cool !"
Ji Ying looked at Xu Nian’an with an admiring face.
In the past, she always felt that Big Brother and Second Brother were different.
Big Brother was just like Dad, honest and too obedient, the kind of obedience without any thought of rebellion.
Second Brother had lots of cunning ideas, a quick mind, not to mention far-off things, just the making of mung bean jelly. Second Brother was someone who said and did, also with renting houses, Second Brother was very bold, and last year when Second Brother set up a stall to sell hair clips and the like, from a small business, he now makes hundreds of yuan a day.
This showed off Second Brother’s cleverness everywhere.
Xu Nian’an’s originally serious face, upon being praised by Ji Ying, instantly turned as red as beetroot.
Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying exchanged glances. They thought more about it. If the Gu Family truly came as parents, simply wanting recognition, then it naturally would be a good thing for Nianhua to have one more pair of parents to love her.
But, if the Gu Family was as Nian’an had said, with ulterior motives, then that was another matter.
The next door neighbors.
"The Xu Family is too much, and that Ji Ying, what an attitude, if she wasn’t my own daughter, I would have slapped her across the face," Fang Yue said angrily. The usually pampered Lady Gu had never been subjected to such cold mockery.
"Fang Yue, she is our own daughter."
Gu Hai reminded her, saying, "The child hasn’t been with us since she was little and naturally isn’t close to us. How exactly did the child get lost in the first place? Do you think everyone else would be a fool?"
Fang Yue’s face changed colors, and she raised her voice in guilt: "I, I am telling the truth, just too, too coincidental." Her eyes darted around evasively.
"Coincidental or not, I don’t know. If you want Mingzhu to be safe and sound, you’d better change your attitude. In the beginning, it was you who wronged the child," Gu Hai reminded her with heavy emphasis. He had a good impression of Ji Ying. Such an outstanding daughter would also bring honor if taken out in public.
"I, I really..." Fang Yue lowered her eyes, wiping her tears, barely starting to speak when she heard Gu Hai’s impatient voice ring out. He rubbed his eyebrows in frustration, saying, "Fang Yue, I’m not a fool. I have my own judgment. If you don’t want this daughter, just keep causing a scene."
With that, Gu Hai lay down to rest. These past few days he had been busy arranging things at home and had spent a night on the train to Ningbei. Then, without a pause, they rushed to Beining University to see Ji Ying.
Gu Hai was as strong as iron, but even he felt a bit tired at this moment.
Fang Yue looked at Gu Hai’s back, biting her back teeth in frustration, feeling more and more resentful. But, thinking of Mingzhu, she pushed down all her bitterness.
"Dad, Mom, how is it, our university is very beautiful, right?" Ji Ying enthusiastically led them to see Beining University. It was rare for them to visit, so naturally, they wanted to look around as much as possible.
After Gu Hai’s reminder, Fang Yue completely changed her attitude from yesterday, putting Ji Ying first in every aspect, completely different from the full resentment of the previous day.
Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying exchanged silent glances. After being reminded by Xu Nian’an yesterday, they always felt that the Gu family had impure motives and no longer looked forward as they had the day before to Ji Ying bonding with her biological parents.
"Yes, very beautiful." Xu Qinghe was observing the school very carefully. It was the university his daughter attended.
"I’ve never seen such a beautiful school before."
Ji Ying said with emotion. In her lifetime, she had only been as far as South City. Where had she seen such a beautiful and large university?
