Chapter 289
“Humph!”Gu Yan turned his back!He’s so angry that the tuft of hair on the top of his head was standing up, expressing its displeasure in the cold wind!Gu Changqing chuckled lightly.His voice was cold and magnetic, and particularly irresistible when he laughed.Gu Yan’s little eyes attempted to glance back.Then he began to walk away.After only one step, Gu Changqing noticed something was off: “What’s wrong with your leg?”Gu Yan pouted and mumbled, “Nothing, just a little twist.”Their home was right in the middle of the alleyway, not too far but not too close to where they were now. An average person would definitely limp all the way home, but this was Gu Yan.Looking at his frail and skinny body, Gu Changqing let out an involuntary sigh: “Get on.”“Huh?” Gu Yan glanced back, displaying a devious yet feigning innocent face, looking utterly conflicted.Gu Changqing was reminded of the dopey roe deer in the woods, only this one seemed slightly arrogant.Gu Changqing, with his broa

Yao Family glanced at her: “Are you asking me to help find a suitable marriage for sister Xin?”This wouldn’t be difficult.After Lady Ling’s position was usurped, Madam Gu was overwhelmed and delegated many responsibilities to her. She was currently preparing New Year’s gifts for several households, so she could use this opportunity to find a good match for sister Xin.He Family merely smiled without a word.A thought flashed across Yao Family’s mind: “You can’t possibly be interested in the young masters of the Marquis Residence, can you? That opportunity is non-existent!”He Family initially intended to propose the heir of the Marquis Residence. Seeing Yao Family’s strong reaction, she sheepishly chuckled and grasped Yao Family’s hand: “Sister, we’re supposed to keep everything in the family, aren’t we? I’m doing this for your benefit. Once sister Xin marries into the Marquis Residence, she’ll help ease your burdens. If sister Xin marries there, you’ll no longer be enemies – you’ll

Gu Yan sat down beside Gu Jiao with a stern expression on his face.Gu Jiao laughed, “Why are you so angry?”“Aren’t you angry?” Gu Yan looked at her, puzzled.His question was pointless, for wouldn’t he sense whether or not she was vexed?Xiaojingkong was a child and didn’t understand such complexity, but she should, Gu Yan didn’t understand why she wasn’t angry.Gu Jiao reclined lazily on the chair: “What is there to be angry about?”She did not live based on other people’s opinions. The judgment of others could not harm her, and she did not depend on anyone else’s charity. She was strong enough to disregard all fleeting extravagances.Although Gu Yan couldn’t quite reach the state that his sister was at, by her side, his emotions were affected by her inner strength, gradually calming down.Xiaojingkong enjoyed the meal very much, got dirty all over: “Jiaojiao, I got dirty.”“It’s okay, I brought you clothes.” Gu Jiao took Xiaojingkong into the room, washed his face and hands, and t

Yao Family’s matriarch didn’t know, but she was celebrating too soon.To Yao Family’s matriarch, fairness was just for show.Once everyone left the room and only Gu Yan remained, Yao Family’s matriarch had her maid bring a large box. She opened it and took out a big, red persimmon, handing it to Gu Yan, “This ‘King of Persimmons’ was bought by your eldest uncle at a high price. Your grandmother saved it specially for you. Try it.”“Is there only one?” Gu Yan asked.Yao Family’s matriarch was startled.Gu Yan said, “Then I’ll save it for sister and little Jingkong.”“They have their own; this one is for you!” Yao Family’s matriarch called the maid in the room and handed her the box, “Yesterday, uncle brought persimmons. Pick the two biggest ones for Jiaojiao and that child.”Gu Yan frowned unconsciously as Yao Family’s matriarch didn’t even use little Jingkong’s name.“I’m going to find mom,” he made an excuse and left.However, he didn’t look for Yao Family’s matriarch but headed to t

He Family’s eyes flickered with an unmistakable hint of disappointment as she glanced in the direction of the carriage, “Jin Yu didn’t come over?”A frown creased Yao Family’s brow.Jin Yu, Jin Yu, Gu Jiao stood right in front of her, couldn’t she first greet Gu Jiao?Gu Jiao remained composed; she didn’t greet the He Family either and simply strode past her, catching up with Mengmeng who was in front of her, admiring the Stone Lions.Yao Yuan glared at the He Family.The corners of He Family’s mouth turned down. She was just asking a question, what’s the big deal? He didn’t come, wasn’t it okay to ask?The He Family then turned towards Gu Yan with a smile, “This is Yanyan, right?”Gu Yan: Haha.Not caring about his sister, he didn’t care about her either!Without so much as a glance at the He Family, Gu Yan took long strides to join Gu Jiao and Mengmeng.Yao Yuan and the He Family were awkwardly uncomfortable.In his heart, Yao Yuan didn’t differentiate among his family members, but
