44 Peace
“I’ve made arrangements.” Guo Miao didn’t want to explain more to Cheng Yu. No matter how much she explained, in Cheng Yu’s eyes, Guo Fu was just a country bumpkin who shouldn’t exist.
Then, she didn’t need to waste her breath on Cheng Yu.
Guo Miao asked Guo Fu and Guo Min to sit downstairs for a while as she prepared to pack some things. She was also prepared to stay in a hotel tonight so that she would not have to rush around.
When Guo Miao left, she didn’t bring the dress that was tailored for her.
The gowns were messily piled on the bed, and she casually glanced at them.
She didn’t intend to wear the same girly outfit as Guo Lin. Since she had to accompany Guo Fu and Xuxu to choose their clothes tomorrow, it wouldn’t be too late to buy a new dress.
Guo Miao went upstairs. Guo Fu looked at Cheng Yu, smiled awkwardly, and placed the sack beside the coffee table.
“These are fresh vegetables from where I come from. I have nothing much, so I’ll just give you some. No additives and they are very delicious.” Guo Fu was very sincere.
The organic vegetables from Dongshan that did not have any additives were indeed delicious. They had recently established a joint relationship with some restaurants in Haicheng, so these vegetables could be sold for a good price.
But Cheng Yu only frowned and sat further away from the bags of vegetables.
“I know. Butler, take this bag away.” Cheng Yu covered her nose with his hand as if there was something dirty on it.
Xuxu looked at Cheng Yu’s disgusted expression and frowned. She asked softly, “Daddy, is Sister’s new mother disgusted by the smell of our bodies? Xuxu took a good bath today.”
Cheng Yu’s ears were sharp, and she heard Xuxu’s words. She sneered.
“Guo Fu, even your son knows better manners than you.” She rolled her eyes at Guo Fu. “The Guos’ residence in Haicheng is not somewhere you should be. I’m only letting you sit here for Miaomiao’s sake.”
Although Guo Fu was angry, he couldn’t think of anything to refute Cheng Yu’s words.
He was from the countryside, so what right did he have to be the father of the Guos’ young lady?
Seeing that Guo Fu didn’t answer, Cheng Yu added, “Besides, we’ve already agreed that Lin is our family’s child. Don’t think that you can make things difficult for her just because you’re her biological father. In the future, it’s better for you to come to Haicheng less. Don’t give me trouble.”
Guo Lin, who was initially afraid that Guo Fu would force her to acknowledge her family, regained her composure after hearing Cheng Yu’s words. She looked at her dress and ignored Guo Fu and Xuxu.
“My dad’s coming to Haicheng in the future has nothing to do with you,” Guo Miao’s voice came from the stairs, “I invited my father here. What does it have to do with you?”
Guo Miao went downstairs and pulled Xuxu and Guo Fu up. “Dad, Xuxu, let’s go.”
Seeing that Guo Miao was about to leave, Cheng Yu quickly stood up and asked, “Where are you going now? The important banquet is tomorrow.”
Guo Miao turned around and looked at the furious Cheng Yu, but her expression was as calm as ever.
“I’ll go tomorrow.” After Guo Miao finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Cheng Yu stood on the spot anxiously. “What if something goes wrong at the banquet tomorrow?”
Guo Lin stood up and helped Cheng Yu sit down. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll definitely perform well tomorrow. Since Sister Min’s father and brother are here, let’s let them have a good gathering. They won’t have many chances to meet in the future.”
Cheng Yu nodded and touched Guo Lin’s head. “Lin is a good and sensible child. With you around, Mom can rest assured.”
Guo Lin handed Cheng Yu a cup of milk tea that had just been heated, letting her calm down.
At this time, Guo Hu came down the stairs with Guo Miao’s dress. “Guo Miao didn’t bring her dress for tomorrow. Mom, I’ll ask the servant to wrap it up.”
Cheng Yu made a pained expression. Did Guo Miao really not care about the banquet that she had prepared for so long? She didn’t even take the clothes that she had specially ordered. Was she planning to wear such plain clothes to the banquet tomorrow?
“Brother, let me do it. I’ll get Nanny Zhang to iron it and then wrap it up.” Guo Lin’s eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.
Since Guo Miao didn’t cherish such a good opportunity, she might as well teach her a lesson.
Guo Hu handed the clothes to Guo Lin. “Then, remember to bring them to Guo Miao at the venue tomorrow.”
Guo Lin nodded and looked at the dress. How could a country bumpkin like Guo Miao be worthy of such a luxurious tailored dress?
She would definitely be the most eye-catching person at the banquet tomorrow.
