Chapter 45 The Gu Family Has a Loophole
"I heard that Xiao'er's girlfriend is very attractive. No wonder Xiao'er didn't make any moves before, but now he suddenly says he wants to get married."
The woman seemed to be chatting happily, but if you think about her words carefully, she was just saying that Gu Xiao was temporarily bewitched by her beauty.
"But, back home, women who are too attractive tend to be restless and easily attract the attention of other men. I wonder if they can live a good life."
"Don't bother."
As a cold voice sounded, a tall man with an indifferent expression appeared at the stairs on the second floor.
"It's Brother Xiao who's woken up!"
The woman sitting in the living room on the first floor and talking was startled and quickly said:
"Brother Xiao, please don't misunderstand me. This is not what Aunt Mei meant. These words were said by others."
Gu Xiao came down from upstairs, "Others? Who are they? I'll communicate with them one by one."
His voice was calm, yet intimidating without anger.
The woman who called herself Aunt Mei panicked and quickly waved her hands:
"I, I don't remember. It's just a bunch of gossips gathered together and talked nonsense."
There was a casual sarcasm on Gu Xiao's lips, but he didn't say anything else.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a few seconds.
Old Mrs. Gu, who was sitting in the living room entertaining guests, was delighted to see this scene.
She had long been impatient with Wang Mei's nagging.
Wang Mei is the widow of Gu Wanqing's comrade-in-arms. Gu Wanqing is out of guilt, and the Gu family is out of affection, so they usually tolerate Wang Mei. Naturally, Mrs. Gu doesn't say anything harsh to her.
She was almost suffocated by the conversation that day, but luckily her grandson showed up and acted as her mouthpiece.
Sitting in the living room were Mrs. Gu, Gu Wanqing and Wang Mei.
Judging from Old Lady Gu's usual indifferent attitude towards her, she definitely couldn't count on her, so Wang Mei turned her attention to Gu Wanqing.
Wang Mei had a pitiful expression on her face and said to Father Gu who was sitting next to her:
"Brother Wanqing, do you think Brother Xiao has misunderstood me?"
She bit her red lips.
"I was afraid that Xiao Ge'er would be deceived, so I told him everything I knew. I didn't mean any harm. Did Xiao Ge'er misunderstand me?"
Wang Mei looked like she was being bullied and felt wronged.
Gu Wanqing couldn't bear to see the weak being bullied, so he immediately looked at Gu Xiao with a stern gaze:
"You little brat, your Aunt Mei said all this for your own good, don't be so ungrateful!"
"Just shut up."
Old Mrs. Gu, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at Gu Wanqing and curled her lips in disgust.
"I think Xiao Ge'er knows much more than you, a stupid ass."
My son is good in every way: honest, filial, and hardworking, but he is a little stupid.
Especially when dealing with a woman like Wang Mei who is a little scheming, it is easy for her to take advantage of you.
"Mom, don't spoil him in everything. As a child of the Gu family, he still needs basic education."
As he stepped down the last step, Gu Xiao just heard these words.
Hearing this, he said lazily and sarcastically:
"Upbringing? Have you forgotten that it was you who made my mother angry? Who will educate a child without a mother? You?"
"you!"
Gu Wanqing was choked and suffocated, but the fact that his wife had run away was his Achilles' heel, and he didn't know what to say in rebuttal. Many words passed through his tongue several times, and finally he uttered a few words stiffly:
"What a bastard!"
