Chapter 23 023
At five o'clock in the morning, the stars were still beautiful. Gu Mingyan leaned on his Ford car, looked at the watch, and then looked at the closed Xu family gate opposite. The enthusiasm for seeing his fiancée when he got off the car gradually became cold.
Today, she seemed to get up a little late.
Gu Mingyan wanted to sit back into the car, but was worried that Qingxi would come out after getting on the car, which seemed to be insincere. At this moment, the door panel creaked, Cuicui rubbed her eyes and walked out, just herself.
"Young master, the eldest lady is not very comfortable. She won't go to run away this morning. I'll ask me to come out and tell you."
Gu Mingyan looked inside the door and asked with concern: "Is it serious?"
Cuicui shook her head: "It's cold, the lady may not want to get up."
Gu Mingyan was stunned and immediately smiled, wanting to see the cute look of his little fiancée staying in bed.
"Then I'll leave first. If the lady is in serious condition, remember to ask the doctor and then inform me." Gu Mingyan said while getting in the car.
Cuicui nodded.
The Ford drove away and the alley became dim again.
Cuicui stretched her neck and looked at it. She made sure the car was driving far away. She ran back to the yard with a small step. Not long after, Qingxi led Cuicui and Xiaolan continued to run in the morning, and Fugui naturally followed.
The master said that you have to persist in running in the morning, and Qingxi doesn’t want to break it after just a few days of running.
This time, Qingxi did not change the direction of the running circle, but after passing the long dike or returning from running, he did not meet Mr. Gu San. Qingxi was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. It would be better if he didn't meet him. Yesterday, Mr. Gu San looked at her and took another look. Qingxi was afraid of having nightmares at night.
After running back, when the two maids were not paying attention and pushed open the door, Qingxi deliberately shook the envelope in his sleeve to the ground.
After looking at the unknown photos with a sad look, Qingxi immediately left two maids and ran to Old Lady Xu's backyard. Halfway through, she smoked her eyes with a chili water veal that had been prepared in advance. Therefore, when Old Lady Xu heard the movement and stepped out of the inner room, she saw her eldest granddaughter standing in front of the main hall in a daze, looking at her with red eyes, crying so much that I felt pity for her.
Mrs. Xu is a traditional old lady who prefers boys over girls and is eager for her grandson, but Qingxi is her first grandchild. She is born with a beautiful and well-behaved temper. It is impossible for Mrs. Xu to not like it at all. When Qingxi and the Gu family decided to marry each other, Mrs. Xu valued her granddaughter more and more. After ten years, this value has become a habit.
The eldest granddaughter insisted on learning to cook and not listening to her. Of course, Mrs. Xu was angry, but if her child was bullied outside, Mrs. Xu would not allow it! Moreover, Qingxi looked gentle and cried in the noodle shop that day. The strange Mrs. Yang couldn't help but feel pity, let alone her grandmother?
"What's wrong?" Old Mrs. Xu asked with distress and anxiety.
"Grandma, look..." Qingxi lowered his head and twitched, handing the envelope three photos to the old lady.
Old Mrs. Xu took it and the first photo was Gu Mingyan and Shen Rumei on the beach. Actually, men and women swim together in swimsuits and bask in the sun are already very common in some Western countries, but in China, young people cannot fully accept it, let alone those like Old Mrs. Xu who still retain some old dynasty concepts in their bones?
With those white thighs, Old Mrs. Xu felt that her eyes were almost blind, and the world was getting worse and worse, and she was unbearable!
But Old Mrs. Xu noticed with sharp eyes that the strong man in the photo who hugged the woman horizontally turned out to be her prospective grandson-in-law!
Old Mrs. Xu finally knew why her granddaughter was crying.
Gu Mingyan kissed and hugged other women. What is the difference between such a photo and the granddaughter witnessing the situation with his own eyes?
"Grandma, please let me break the engagement. He would carry me on my back before we got married. I might take so many concubines in the future. Old Mrs. Gu, eldest wife, and Miss Gu don't like me. If I really get married, I have to endure the cold eyes of my elders and be squeezed by my concubines. What's the point of living like that?"
Kneeling on the ground, Qingxi hugged the old lady's legs and cried bitterly.
Lin Wanyin rushed over after hearing the news. Although it was the plan discussed by the mother and the two of them last night, when they thought of their daughter's life, Lin Wanyin's tears would never be faked. She hugged her daughter and said to her mother-in-law with sobs: "Mom, Wangshan is gone. Our family is suffering. But we cannot live without backbone. Gu Mingyan relies on the money at home to spend money outside. When the matter is spread, where will Qingxi put her face? Before marriage, he doesn't care about Qingxi. Even if Qingxi gets married, can he expect others to help us?"
The mother and the mother cried together. Old Mrs. Xu staggered to sit on the chair, looked at the photos, and then looked at her granddaughter who was crying. Her temper also came up. She slapped the table and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Gu family to reason!"
The two rooms in the Gu family are just about to have breakfast.
Gu Huifang was the last one to arrive. When she saw her biological brother, she curled her lips: "Brother didn't go to run with her today?"
Gu Mingyan has never heard of it.
Gu Shiqin glanced at his daughter.
Gu Huifang shut up and sat next to Mrs. Gu to act coquettishly.
Halfway through breakfast, the concierge came over to pass the message, saying that it was Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu, and the eldest lady of the Xu family had arrived.
Gu Shiqin couldn't help but clenched his chopsticks, and Wanyin actually came too?
He looked at his wife opposite him by chance. The eldest wife was only one year younger than Gu Shiqin. He came out of a wealthy family. Before he got married, he was a petite lady. He married a luxurious cheongsam and was wearing a luxurious cheongsam. At first glance, he was also a beautiful beauty like a peony. During the wedding years, Gu Shiqin and his eldest wife also had a sweet time. Until that rainy day, Lin Wanyin was like a white magnolia and bumped into his arms in panic.
When he was young, Gu Shiqin thought of Nalin Wanyin as his concubine and took him home, but more than twenty years have passed, Gu Shiqin suddenly didn't want Lin Wanyin to see his wife. It seemed that after seeing it, Lin Wanyin could imagine the scene of him being with his wife, which would push him further.
"Please come in, I don't say hello, I want to see what's wrong with them." Old Mrs. Gu said sarcastically.
The eldest lady looked at her husband, and relied on the same heart as her mother-in-law, she sat on the chair without moving. The second wife almost left the chair, and she sat back when she saw this. Gu Huifang simply continued to eat food. Among the female family members, only Gu Yiqiu, who was the second wife, left the seat and went to welcome guests with the men of the Gu family.
Gu Shiqin first stepped out of the main hall door and saw the aggressive old Mrs. Xu, Lin Wanyin, who was covered in white clothes with red eyes. As for Qingxi, he lowered his head and followed Mrs. Xu, holding a handkerchief in his little hand to cover half of his face. He didn't hear any crying sounds, but just a tear-wiping action made people feel ache.
The little fiancée cried so sadly, and Gu Mingyan couldn't help but take a step forward.
Old Mrs. Xu came with anger. Now she saw only Gu Shiqin and a few men came out to pick her up. Inside, Old Mrs. Gu and other female relatives couldn't sit still, clearly looking down on her. Old Mrs. Xu became even more angry and simply stopped in and stopped in the yard and smashed three photos at Gu Mingyan.
The photos were flying, and they stopped at the feet of Gu Shiqin and his son. The scenes of men and women kissing and hugging were very dazzling in the sun.
Gu Yiqiu covered her mouth, but she was still explaining to her cousin in front of Qingxi that he was really like Chen Ruyue...
Gu Mingyan's face changed again and again, and he looked up at Qingxi: "I can..."
He wanted to say he could explain, but before he could finish speaking, Gu Shiqin next to him slapped him and slapped his son in the face.
Old Mrs. Xu was startled, Lin Wanyin looked at Gu Shiqin in disbelief, and Qingxi was also shocked.
Gu Mingyan was the most calmer. The father and son looked at each other. Gu Mingyan suddenly understood what his father meant, no longer defended, and knelt directly in front of Mrs. Xu and Lin Wanyin, bowing his head to regret: "Old lady, aunt, Mingyan is confused. She couldn't stand loneliness when she was studying abroad. She talked about friends several times, but those were things from the past. Since I returned to China to see Qingxi, I swear that there is only Qingxi. Mingyan's heart is to learn from heaven and earth. Please ask the old lady, aunt, and I have another chance again."
Old Mrs. Xu was slightly moved. After living this age, Old Mrs. Xu had seen too many things. The young masters of rich families were a little confused when they were young. If Gu Mingyan could really cut off relations with the women outside and devote themselves to his granddaughter, then...
"Mingyan, you get up, what a big deal is worth your kneeling!"
Old Mrs. Gu finally came out, leaning on a crutch in her hand, staring at Old Mrs. Xu with a sinister look.
The eldest wife grabbed her son's arm with distress and wanted to help her up. Gu Mingyan refused to cooperate. The eldest wife wanted to ask her daughter to help, but she turned her head and her eyes accidentally flew over Lin Wanyin's face. The eldest wife relaxed her hands and looked at Lin Wanyin, and then she turned around stiffly. Within her sight, there were two white magnolia trees in the courtyard.
Originally, there were no magnolia flowers at home. It seemed that after her husband got back from Xiucheng, he suddenly asked someone to move a few magnolias to go home for no reason. Since then, he often felt lost in the magnolia trees. It was from then on that time that her husband was no longer interested in burying things. It was basically her initiative that her husband was perfunctory.
A woman’s intuition is always mysterious.
The husband and wife were in harmony with each other's appearance, and the eldest wife hid her confusion for almost twenty years. The moment she saw Lin Wanyin, she immediately found the answer.
She turned to her husband with proof.
Gu Shiqin only looked at Old Lady Xu: "Old lady, Mingyan is a bastard outside, because I am not strict in discipline, but I promise that there is no next time for today's business. The Gu family will only have a young lady, Qingxi, and no concubine will come in again."
The father and son were sincere enough, giving Mrs. Xu enough face. However, just as Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, just as the mother and mother of Qingxi were worried that they would not be able to break off the engagement, the eldest wife suddenly went crazy, rushed over, grabbed Lin Wanyin's arm and cried at Gu Shiqin: "What a shame, I won't let Mingyan marry his concubine again. Gu Shiqin, explain to me, are you a rare daughter-in-law or want to become an in-law family, so that it will be convenient for you to hook up with this in-laws in the future!"
Lin Wanyin's face changed drastically, and she showed a hint of embarrassment in panic and uncontrollably.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Gu Shiqin rushed over immediately and tried to pull away the eldest wife's hand. But the eldest wife hated her husband very much, and even more hated Lin Wanyin, who seduced her husband. Instead, she started to fight. Lin Wanyin is a serious official girl, and she never had any action with others, but she couldn't break free.
When her mother was beaten and scolded by someone to slander Qingxi, Qingxi's eyes were red. Seeing that the eldest wife was holding her mother's hair, she would only hurt her even more if she pulled her eldest wife's mother. Qingxi was angry and lost all her reason and rushed over with instinct. She didn't slap her face in the face, which was even more cruel and louder than Gu Shiqin's slap in Gu Mingyan.
Everyone froze, the huge yard was silent.
Facing the older lady's increasingly crazy eyes, Qingxi was afraid, and tears surged up unyieldingly, but she held back and stared at the older lady with determination: "It was Uncle Gu who wanted to repay my father's life-saving grace, so she got engaged to the Xu family. It was Uncle Gu's gentlemanly style that could not bear to betray his faith, so she insisted on fulfilling the engagement. I respect Uncle Gu and thank Uncle Gu for his care for us, but I never thought of climbing up to the Gu family, and you don't have to insult my mother. Today, my marriage with Gu family is the Gu family, and the Xu family is the Xu family, and life and death have nothing to do with it!"
"Mom, grandmother, let's go." The moment when Qingxi's tears finally rolled down from her hair with one hand, and when she held her grandmother with a complicated look with the other hand, she turned her back to the Gu family.
What kind of family and great business are nothing more than bullying their orphans and widows, and there is no support from men.
But the more this happens, the more she wants to live a life of the same kind and show everyone who looks down on her.
