Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Celebrating Longevity Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Celebrating Longevity Mrs. Zhang said that Gu Ya’s wound had healed.
Gu Hengniang was about to visit him, “Big sister, then I’ll go see our third brother right now!”
But Wan Da’an pulled Gu Hengniang back, “What’s the hurry, woman? Aren’t you here to celebrate father’s birthday? Shouldn’t you hurry up and deliver the gift to father?”
“Yes, yes, yes! My husband, you always think everything through.” After being pulled back by Wan Da’an, Gu Hengniang also felt that she should take the gift to her father sooner rather than later.
What else did Mrs. Zhang want to say?
But Wan Da’an had already taken Gu Hengniang to Lord Gu Chengxiang’s room, cursing Wan Da’an in her heart for ruining her plans, yet she had no choice but to let Gu Hengniang’s family go first to give Lord Gu Chengxiang his birthday presents.
Su Yunjin walked out of the kitchen just in time to see Gu Hengniang and her family heading towards Lord Gu’s room. From a distance, she noticed a woman following behind Gu Hengniang.
The woman was dressed in peach-red clothes.
Her figure was tall and slender.
Su Yunjin’s gaze fell on the woman beside Gu Hengniang, pondering whether Gu Hengniang had really brought Miss Yanyan, her younger sister-in-law.
At that moment, Mrs. Zhang approached, “Oh, sister-in-law! The second sister’s family just arrived. Oh, did you see? The woman beside the second sister is Yanyan. Once upon a time, Yanyan was almost married to our third brother!”
Mrs. Zhang intentionally provoked Su Yunjin.
She wanted to see Su Yunjin enraged with embarrassment!
As long as Su Yunjin was unhappy, she was happy.
Stirring the pot even more, she said, “Sister-in-law, Yanyan and our third brother almost got married. Later on, who knows? Yanyan might even meet our third brother again. Sister-in-law, surely you’re feeling uncomfortable now that the woman who nearly married your man is here, right?”
“So what if that’s the case?”
With a cold laugh, Su Yunjin looked at Mrs. Zhang indifferently, “Big sister, if you want to see me uncomfortable over this, sorry, but you’re likely to be disappointed!”
“You–!” Mrs. Zhang was enraged with embarrassment.
Thinking it over and realizing Wan Ruyan had arrived, she knew Su Yunjin’s triumph would not last many days, which comforted Mrs. Zhang a bit, “Su Yunjin, quit your pretence with me! I don’t believe for a second that you’re not bothered!”
Surely Su Yunjin, that little wench, was seething inside, biting her gums to pieces countless times in her heart!
“What do I have to be bothered about?”
Su Yunjin smiled faintly, completely unconcerned, “She’s just an insignificant woman. She’s here, so what?”
Mrs. Zhang was at a loss for words.
Not to mention anything else.
Every time, that little wench Su Yunjin managed to overpower her in terms of presence.
This angered Mrs. Zhang profoundly.
Unable to see Su Yunjin lose her temper, Mrs. Zhang stomped her foot in frustration. Su Yunjin didn’t look at Mrs. Zhang again and simply walked past her.
Leaving Mrs. Zhang alone, burning with anger on the spot.
Gu Ya stayed inside the house without going out. These past few days, he had been busy with the house repairs. The workers reported that they were running short of timber and needed another shipment.
Gu Ya went to find people to deliver another batch of lumber. Now, he was in the room calculating the cost, checking how much they owed others for this batch of timber as well as the other materials like sand and mud.
Today, he hadn’t left the house at all. Gu Ya was unaware of what happened outside, let alone that his sister Gu Hengniang had brought Wan Ruyan along.
When his little wife returned, she looked somewhat upset. Gu Ya thought it was Mrs. Zhang and her crowd that had troubled his wife again.
“Yunjin, what’s wrong? Did big sister and her group cause trouble again?”
