In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but chuckle, and handed him his favorite milk tea flavor: "You worked hard just now, Xiao Bao. This is a reward for you. Drink up."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Gu Xiaobao sipped his milk tea, his eyes crinkling into crescent shapes with a smile.
Ji Moyan looked at him with affection: "Xiao Bao, did your uncle ask you to take care of your aunt?"
"No," Gu Xiaobao shook his head and said, "Boys are supposed to take care of girls, but I'm the little man of the family, so I have to take care of Grandma and Auntie!"
Shangguan Wu was extremely surprised.
She and her mother-in-law exchanged a smile.
Ji Moyan reached out and hugged Gu Xiaobao, kissing the top of his head: "My dear grandson is such a sweet little cotton-padded jacket, Grandma loves you the most!"
Gu Xiaobao frowned and said, "Grandma, lying is wrong."
Ji Moyan was taken aback: "What?"
Gu Xiaobao said seriously, "You said that to Grandpa yesterday."
When her eldest grandson contradicted her in front of her daughter-in-law, even Ji Moyan, with her excellent composure, blushed deeply.
"Ahem, Xiao Bao, you are my most beloved grandson, and your grandfather is my most beloved husband. Your identities are different!" Ji Moyan tried to save face.
"Is it possible to do it this way?"
Gu Xiaobao turned to look at Shangguan Wu, seeking an answer.
Shangguan Wu nodded, suppressing a smile: "Yeah, for example, you love drinking milk tea and you also love drinking Want Want milk. Essentially, they are both beverages, but you love them both, right?"
Gu Xiaobao seemed to understand but not quite: "Yes!"
The innocent child was led astray by two unreliable adults, to the point that later, when faced with questions from his younger cousins, he would say with a serious face, "You are my favorite brother, and she is my favorite sister. Although you are both my favorites, one is my brother and the other is my sister. You are different!"
That's getting off-topic.
When Gu Qingyu and his son Gu Yilou returned home, the Gu family sat down together for dinner.
"The pharmacy is opening today, are you able to handle the workload?"
Gu Qingyu had just asked a question when his wife kicked his leg under the table.
He really knows how to rub salt in the wound! Ji Moyan glared at him: "Wu Bao, no matter what you do, there's a gradual process. Let's take it slow, there's no rush!"
Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "Actually, it's good that no one's here. It means everyone's in good health!"
Ji Moyan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "You little rascal!"
The youngest daughter-in-law's shop is a pharmacy, especially selling Chinese medicinal herbs. However, most people don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine because they've been ripped off before. So it will take a long time before they believe in the youngest daughter-in-law's medical skills and her pharmacy.
Jimo Yan is not worried about the pharmacy's business. Even if the youngest daughter-in-law does nothing, she can still support the family!
Moreover, the younger daughter-in-law is not short of money herself. She must have her own purpose and wishes in opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. As family members, we should just give her our support.
Gu Qingyu and Gu Yilou were both taken aback.
It sounds like business isn't good.
However, the younger daughter-in-law (fourth brother's wife) has a very good attitude.
As the patriarch, Gu Qingyu generously said, "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know!"
Gu Yilou also said, "Yes, if you need any help, just tell your older brother. We are family."
Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "I know. Thank you, Dad, thank you, Big Brother."
Both Gu Qingyu and Gu Yilou said there was no need for thanks.
After the meal, Shangguan Wu went back to his room to rest.
She took a shower, lay in bed holding her phone, the WeChat interface on the screen, and was thinking about whether to send him a video.
If he's busy with work, wouldn't this be disturbing him?
Let's apologize in person when he gets back.
After thinking it through, Shangguan Wu sent only one message: "Honey, I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight. Work is important, but your health is more important. Your loving wife is waiting for you to come home, mwah!"
Gu Yunzhen was indeed busy at this moment.
He's so busy, he doesn't even have time to look at his phone.
Gu Yunzhen met with one group of people after another. His extremely cold and stern face made people want to stay away, for fear that he would cause them to be caught in the crossfire.
Only Gu Shiyi knew that as long as the Fourth Young Master's wife wasn't involved, the Fourth Young Master was the most impartial.
When Gu Yunzhen was finally able to rest, he picked up his phone while eating, expecting to see missed calls from his wife, but to his surprise, there were none!
"..."
Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed deeply.
He opened WeChat and saw a red number on her profile picture. Although it was just a 1, it was still much better than no messages at all.
Seeing Shangguan Wu's caring and loving words, his furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
Because of the significant time difference with China, and because she was pregnant and needed plenty of sleep, Gu Yunzhen didn't plan to call and wake her up.
"eleven."
"Yes, what are your orders, Fourth Young Master?"
Gu Shiyi, who was guarding the door, came over and asked.
Gu Yunzhen spoke in a deep voice: "What did Madam do today?"
Gu Shiyi took out his iPad, opened the Fourth Young Madam's itinerary, and reported: "The Fourth Young Madam went out with Old Master You to the pharmacy this morning. At noon, the Fourth Young Madam had lunch with the other guests, including the Madam. After lunch, the Fourth Young Madam and Yan Yirou returned to the pharmacy. They left the pharmacy at four o'clock in the afternoon. On their way back to the residence, they passed a milk tea shop and the Fourth Young Madam brought three cups of milk tea home."
Gu Yunzhen listened to his report while eating.
When he heard Yan Yirou's name, a glint of light flashed in his deep eyes.
"Did Madam and Yan Yirou communicate at the pharmacy?"
"Yes, the Fourth Young Mistress and Yan Yirou stayed on the second floor for nearly two hours." Since it wasn't surveillance, I only knew that this happened, but I didn't know what they talked about.
Gu Yunzhen's handsome face darkened, and he abruptly put down his chopsticks.
Yan Yirou's identity is not simple. She is definitely not as harmless as she appears. By meeting with her alone, Madam is putting herself in danger!
Gu Yunzhen picked up her phone, wanting to call and remind Shangguan Wu, but worried about waking her up.
Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "Give me Yan Yirou's number."
Gu Shiyi found Yan Yirou's number.
Gu Yunzhen lowered her eyes: "Use your phone to call."
Gu Shiyi: "..." Isn't Fourth Young Master's sense of being married a bit too strong?
Despite his complaints, Gu Shiyi took out his phone and dialed Yan Yirou's number.
The first one got hung up.
The second one also failed.
Gu Shiyi had no choice but to send a text message: 【Hello Miss Yan, this is Gu Shiyi, the Fourth Young Master's bodyguard. Please answer the phone.】
The message was sent successfully, but...
It vanished without a trace.
Gu Shiyi was also helpless: "Fourth Young Master, Miss Yan is probably already asleep."
"Can I hang up on you if I'm asleep?"
Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed with impatience as she coldly ordered, "Send someone to the Yan family."
Gu Shiyi was dumbfounded: "Go now?"
Gu Yunzhen's deep, dark eyes flashed with a dangerous glint as she glanced at him: "Or should we wait until tomorrow?"
