The people in the study room had already dispersed. Gu Cheng dragged Gu An upstairs.
He frowned, his expression solemn. “What happened to Gu Shen?”
Gu An shrugged her shoulder. “I’m not sure either, but Fourth Brother was very scary.”
“What about Yan Xi?” Gu Cheng had heard something about her from others who said she was a gloomy, childish, and inferior person.
However, when he saw her today, she struck him as a totally different person.
“Fourth sister-in-law.” Gu An propped up her face. “She has indeed changed a lot. I’m starting to like her.”
Gu Cheng pinched her face. “Find out why they changed so much.”
“Let go of me!” Gu An shook his hand off her face, wanting to hit him. “It’s because you always pinch my face so it gets puffier than before. How am I going to appear in films in the future”
Gu Cheng chuckled. “I will wait and see when you will get your first film. Alright, I’ll go check in on Grandpa first. I gotta go on business tomorrow, so I need to leave early.”
“You’re always on the go.” Gu An pouted. “I’ll go with you to see Grandpa.”
…
Yan Xi’s face and slightly swollen face recovered a little bit, but when she touched it, there was still a stinging pain, as if someone was stabbing her with a needle.
“Does it still hurt?” Gu Shen got a new ice bag and covered the swollen area carefully. “Gu Yi has already gone to get the ointment. It’ll be fine in a while.”
“Yeah.”
Looking at Gu Shen, though he had helped her seek revenge, Yan Xi still felt aggrieved. All of a sudden, tears welled up in her eyes.
Gu Shen was stunned. He wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
“Don’t cry anymore.” Her voice was gentle. “You can return that slap in a few days.”
The nicer he treated her, the more Yan Xi wanted to cry. She sniffed and said, “Then it’ll also hurt to hit her back.”
Gu Shen laughed. “Then I’ll let her do it herself. Don’t cry.”
After being comforted by Gu Shen for a while, Yan Xi finally calmed down. When she thought of what happened earlier, she felt a little embarrassed.
“Don’t force them into a corner. It’s not good for you.”
“They don’t have that kind of ability.” Gu Shen rubbed her head, his eyes unfathomable. “If they want to do anything to you, then don’t blame me for paying them back tenfold or a hundredfold.”
…
In the hospital, Old Master Gu had already woken up and was listening to the butler’s report on what had just happened.
“Gu Ling has been getting more and more arrogant these past few years,” Gu Hai did not even consider that she was his daughter. “Find out a couple nasty things she did in the past and threaten her to behave herself.”
The butler replied, “Yes.”
“If it wasn’t for Yan Xi this time, I’m afraid that I would already be in a coffin.” Old Master Gu sighed. “Go prepare a bank card and send it to her tomorrow.”
The butler naturally agreed. He asked again, “Only a bank card?”
“Did she win you over?” Gu Hai scolded jokingly. “Also give her that whatever media company I invested in a few days ago.”
…
Old Master Gu was sick and Gu Ling caused such a huge commotion. Everyone was afraid of being implicated and found an excuse to leave.
Now only Gu Shen’s First Uncle and his family were left in the main hall. The family banquet turned out as it was supposed to be.
Gu Shen’s First Uncle was a decent man and had a good relationship with his father back then. Back at the dining table, he was constantly asking them questions, concerned about the two of them.
“Yan Xi, are you alright now?”
Yan Xi smiled. “Yes.”
“That’s good. Gu Ling is getting weirder and grumpier the older she gets.” He did not say that Gu Shen had done anything wrong. He only told them to be careful.
Although Gu Shen did not say much to him, he looked much more at ease with his First Uncle than with anyone else, and it was obvious that he respected him a lot.
Yan Xi thought to herself, No wonder Gu An could become the little angel in the book.. It must be because of the upbringing she received from this uncle.
