Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The biggest argument in the history of the Xiao family erupted. Second Uncle and Third Uncle brought all their family members to quarrel with Xiao Shan. They wanted him to bow down to Xiao Jing and Gu Teng, but Xiao Shan stubbornly refused.
In the end, when Second Uncle and Third Uncle suggested splitting up, the Xiao family began to fall apart from that day onwards. After that, business became worse and worse.
Yunbao had no feelings for Xiao Shan, so she was not sad about what had happened today. Xiao Jing had a smile on his face. He had long wanted to leave the Xiao family, but he had been immersed in the sadness of losing Gu Teng, so he could not do it.
Later on, when Gu Teng revived, he wanted to officially propose marriage to her, so he put down his temper and coaxed Xiao Shan to go to the Gu family to propose marriage. Now, he was finally completely separated from the Xiao family.
When the family of three returned to the Gu family, Old Madam Gu asked in surprise, “Why did you suddenly come back?”
Old Master Gu smiled and said, “What are you talking about? Xiao Jing and I have already agreed that they will still live here after they get married.”
Gu Teng was surprised to hear her father say that. “I was wondering why you didn’t let me take all my luggage. You said that I could buy new ones over there. You didn’t even think about letting me stay at the Xiao family’s house.” Xiao Jing couldn’t help but laugh. “The Xiao family has a lot of trouble. You’ll only be at ease if you stay in your own house.”
Gu Teng could feel Xiao Jing’s sincerity towards her. She lowered her head and smiled. “Then you should have told me earlier.”
“This is a surprise,” Xiao Jing said.
When Yunbao heard him say this, she asked, “Will Yunbao still live here in the future?
Old Master Gu quickly came over to protect Yunbao and said, “Of course you’re staying here. I missed you so much when you left. You’ve lost weight.”
“Hurry up and get the chef to make Yunbao’s favorite dishes,” Old Madam Gu quickly instructed.
The two elders felt that Yunbao must have suffered, but Gu Teng asked in confusion, “How could Yunbao have lost weight in just one night?”
However, her words were ignored by the two elders. Now that Xiao Jing was taking care of her meticulously, the two elders focused all their attention on Yunbao.
The Gu family’s eight sons were originally very sad about their sister’s marriage. However, when they saw that their sister had returned home and said that she would never leave again, they patted Xiao Jing’s shoulder and said, “You’re really our good brother-in-law.”
After these things, Gu Teng began to live a peaceful life. Xiao Jing’s heart ached for her, so he did not let her do anything. He gave all his funds to Gu Teng for her to spend as she pleased. It would be best if she could spend a few million a day.
Gu Teng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Xiao Jing’s words. When the eight sons of the Gu family heard this, they didn’t want to be outdone. They also took out money for their younger sister to spend. Gu Teng didn’t even know what to do with so much money
Gu Teng would read under the big tree in the courtyard every day and wait for Yunbao to come back from kindergarten. At this moment, a servant came to her and said, “Miss, someone who claims to be your good friend wants to see you.”
Gu Teng asked, “Did they say their name?
“She said her surname is Cheng.”
Hearing this surname, Gu Teng quickly went to the hall. There was a woman in a qipao sitting on the sofa, but she lowered her head and no longer had the proud posture she remembered.
Gu Teng walked over and said, “Cheng Xi, is that you?
Cheng Xi looked up and saw Gu Teng with tears in her eyes. “It’s me. I rushed back from overseas immediately when I heard about your marriage.”
Cheng Xi was a good friend of Gu Teng’s from primary school. The Cheng family was also a famous family in the capital. Gu Teng had a quiet personality, but Cheng Xi was very lively. The two of them complemented each other’s personalities and had a good relationship since they were young. It could be said that Cheng Xi was Gu Teng’s only good friend.
Later on, Gu Teng learned magic from Song Yun, and Cheng Xi did not cut off
contact with her. However, when Gu Teng left home, Cheng Xi happened to go overseas, and the two of them lost each other’s contact information.
Gu Teng did not expect to see Cheng Xi again. The two of them were very excited.
Cheng Xi lowered her head and said, “I came back this time to see you. I heard that you had already passed away. At that time, my child was sick and couldn’t leave, so I couldn’t come back to take a look.”
“You already have children,” Gu Teng said with a smile. “I’ve never even heard about you getting married.”
Cheng Xi did not look happy. “The child is already five years old. I got married not long after I went overseas.”
Gu Teng could tell that something was wrong with Cheng Xi. She would never show such an expression in the past, nor would she lower her head and speak like this. She looked obedient as if she was facing her master..
