Translator: ShinoJ
“Gu Manxi was always a little uneasy. She was very worried about Zhao manshi. Usually, this sister would send her a text message almost every day, sharing where she went shopping today, what clothes she bought, and what high-class cuisine she ate. But these few days, Zhao Manshi seemed to have vanished from the face of the Earth, and she no longer contacted Gu Manxi. Gu Manxi wanted to personally visit the Zhao family to ask about the situation, but that was the Zhao family, Gu Manxi’s nightmare. She would never be able to step into Tang Chunxiu and Zhao Jing’s home. She had no choice but to ask Zhao Yan to check on the situation. It had been a long time since Zhao Yan had returned to the Zhao family. Ever since he found out that his mother was secretly meeting a man and his father was fooling around outside, Zhao Yan had been increasingly disappointed with this family. Later, Tang Chunxiu found someone to frame Lin Xiaozhou and almost killed him. Zhao Yan hated the entire Zhao family even more. However, out of concern for his sister, Zhao Yan still found time to make a trip to the Zhao family. Gu Chuxian was so moldy that he shamelessly wanted to go with her. He acted coquettishly and rolled around. Zhao Yan had no choice but to bring this little clingy person along. “Chuchu, when you reach the Zhao family, stay close to your uncle.”Zhao Yan kept reminding her along the way. “Don’t accept any food or gifts that they give you, understand?” Zhao Yan knew that Tang Chunxiu hated Gu Chuxian. She was afraid that she would lay a hand on Gu Chuxian. Gu Chuxian raised his little head. “Uncle, I’m not a five-year-old child! I’m getting calluses from listening to your words!” Zhao Yan sighed. They drove to the Zhao family home. The Zhao family was no longer what it used to be. Their businesses had failed one after another, and their debts were high. The servants in the house had scattered. The plants in front of the gate had not been cleaned up for a long time, and wild grass had grown everywhere. The entire Zhao family’s private house looked unusually desolate. Zhao Yan looked at the place where he had grown up, and a sense of desolation rose in his heart for no reason. When he knocked on the door, it was Zhao Jing who opened it. When Zhao Jing saw his son, whom he had not seen for a long time, he was also stunned. Then, his tone revealed a sense of surprise, as if a thirsty traveler in the desert had finally met a life-saving oasis. “You, you’re back?” Zhao Yan nodded coldly. Gu Chu stood beside his uncle obediently. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to greet him. “Hello, Grandpa.” Zhao Jing lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the cute little girl in makeup. His expression was a little complicated, but he still opened the door for Zhao Yan and Gu Chu to enter the house. Zhao Yan looked around. Most of the valuable oil paintings and decorations hanging on the wall of the house had already been sold. This meant that the entire Zhao family was already in a difficult situation. The Zhao family could still hold on bitterly because of the weak connections that Zhao Jing had accumulated over the years. “You child, you are so willful that you don’t even care about your family anymore.”Seeing his son whom he had not seen for a long time, Zhao Jing was still rather excited. On the surface, he had three children, but Zhao Jing liked his eldest son, Zhao Yan, the most. He was smart and had a business mind. Unfortunately, his son was sick and actually got together with a man. Obviously, Zhao Yan did not want to talk more with his father. He went straight to the point and asked, “Where is Manshi?” Zhao Jing pursed his lips. “She’s been sick recently. She’s resting upstairs.” His tone was cold and indifferent, as if he was not talking about his own daughter, but an outsider who had nothing to do with it. Gu Chu’s ears perked up. ‘is my aunt sick?’? ‘Why didn’t I hear anything at all?’. Zhao Yan stood up. “Manxi is worried about her. I’m going upstairs to take a look.” Zhao Jing hurriedly stopped Zhao Yan and gave him a reproachful look. “You’re a man after all. Your sister is resting in her pajamas. It’s not good for you to go in like this –” Coincidentally, Tang Chunxiu was carrying medicine and water downstairs. ”
