“Mr. Xu, this is not my idea, it is the old gentleman and lady’s idea.”
Qin Qing sneered, "You'd better think this through. We're all family, even if we're broken. Mom and Dad are angry now, but can they stay angry with us forever? They'll forgive us sooner or later. I advise you to be sensible."
Gu Bei and Lin Wanwan stared speechlessly at the people outside the door, wondering where their confidence came from.
"Brother, are Grandpa and Grandma just putting on an act, or are they really planning to forgive them?"
"They've already published it in the newspapers, paid for it to run for a whole week, what do you say?"
"That's good. Just so that Grandpa and Grandma don't forgive him right away after he gets angry."
"Probably not. That scoundrel won't last much longer. He's clinging to his grandparents now because he doesn't want to die a terrible death."
Xu Tiantian saw Gu Bei and waved vigorously at him, "Brother, cousin, it's us! Please open the door for us!"
Gu Bei raised an eyebrow at her, "I don't really know her."
Xu Jinbu immediately jumped up and down, "What do you mean, you little bastard?"
Lin Wanwan walked out and sneered, "Who are you calling a little bastard?"
"I'm cursing you, you bastard! Who do you think you are? Get out of my house!"
"You look like a moron with underdeveloped cerebellum, a primate lacking a brain. What can you do all day except yell?"
Enraged, Xu Jinbu kicked the large iron gate hard. "What did you say? Come out if you dare! I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"
"You keep calling me a bastard and a little bastard. I think you're not even as good as a child. Have you never been to school? You keep using the same two phrases. Don't you have any sincerity?"
Xu Jinyang smiled and said, "Who is this? I haven't seen her before. Is she the new nanny?"
“Mr. Xu, you may not know, this is my sister, my only sister.”
"Cousin, what are you saying? I'm your sister. How could this woman who came from who-knows-where be your sister?"
"Xiao Bei, we're family, blood is thicker than water. How could you recognize some random person as your sister?" Qin Qing said with a gentle smile.
"Mrs. Xu, you must be mistaken. This is my maternal grandparents' recognized granddaughter, my maternal grandfather's recognized heir, and my parents' daughter. If she isn't my sister, then who is?"
Xu Jinyang was surprised. "Your maternal grandfather recognizes her as his heir?"
"Yes, should I ask Grandpa to come out and ask? You should all go back. Grandpa said it's a family gathering today, and he won't see any outside guests."
“Xiao Bei, if you are upset with your uncle because of what happened before, then your uncle apologizes to you. It was your uncle and aunt who did not think things through. But we are family. Your maternal grandparents are old. Can you bear to see them separated from their family?”
"This gentleman is quite amusing. I think you're just too clear-headed, which is why you did those things."
"What right do you, an outsider, have to comment on our family affairs?" Xu Jinyang said, glaring at her fiercely.
Gu Bei put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Mr. Xu, you've got it wrong. You're the outsider now. My sister is protecting me because she cares about me. She's not like those who bully me. Please leave. If you keep making noise, we'll call the police."
"Brother, go inside. Grandpa and Grandma are getting impatient. Grandma said she made sweet and sour pork ribs for me. I need to go see if they're ready."
"You bitch, what did you say? Stop right there and don't come into my house."
"What am I standing here for, to watch your powerless rage? Trash!"
Gu Bei chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so strong in combat."
"I can't win a fight, but anyone can talk a good game. You can make people angry without paying with your life."
Seeing the two enter, Xu Zhang asked, "Have they left?"
"I don't know, they're calling us two bastards outside. I don't know if they've left yet," Gu Bei said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.
Xu Zhang immediately stood up and yelled at Lin Wanwan, "Did they insult you?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a couple of insults, it won't hurt you, don't be angry."
“I’m going to find them,” Xu Zhang said, standing up to leave.
He Yumei grabbed her arm and said, "Don't go. Don't make things difficult for your aunt and the others. Sit down."
"That won't do! I cherish her so much, and his family is still cursing at her. I'm going to confront them!"
"Don't go, Aunt Xu. It's alright. What's wrong with a few scoldings? Don't go. Just make me some steamed egg with minced meat. I haven't had it in ages."
Xu Zhang's face turned ashen with anger. "We all cherish you so much, and he still dares to insult you? Was it Xu Jinbu who did it? I'll go out and tear his mouth apart."
"Besides swearing, what else did you say?" Xu Zhe asked, looking at him.
"You'll have to forgive them sooner or later, even if we break their bones but they're still connected by tendons."
Xu Zhe laughed in exasperation, "That's all they said? Given their family's personalities, they wouldn't just say that."
Gu Bei glanced at Lin Wanwan beside him, and Lin Wanwan immediately understood.
"No, Grandpa, didn't you say you'd take me to the study? Let's go, let's go now. Grandma, let's go too. Let's go, let's go."
"I'm not going. I'll go to the kitchen and make you sweet and sour pork ribs. You go with Grandpa. He found a lot of books for you. Go and take a look."
Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up. "Great! Great!"
"Others would be worried if they heard about so many books, why are you so happy?" Gu Bei said with a smile.
"The power of absorbing knowledge is so wonderful; you mere mortals can't understand it."
"Hahahaha, let's go, Grandpa will take you there."
Lin Wanwan helped Xu Zhe upstairs to the study, not forgetting to turn back and give Gu Bei a wink.
Once upstairs, Xu Zhe asked her, "Did they say anything nasty to you?"
"Grandpa, I don't care. Even if you say something unpleasant, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it."
Lin Wanwan actually wanted to say, just pretend they're barking like dogs.
But she didn't dare. Xu Jinyang was right; they were the real family, and she was just an outsider.
Xu Zhe glanced at her, patted her hand that was supporting him, and said, "You're not being honest. I'm not senile yet."
Lin Wanwan said with a smile, "Grandpa is wise; he can't hide anything from you."
"Don't be angry at anything I say, I'm just flattering you. Your grandmother and I just consider him dead. We are truly heartbroken and don't acknowledge this son anymore. We also owe your mother, Xu, too much."
“Grandpa, my mom doesn’t think so. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have forgiven Uncle Xu. It’s just that Brother Gu Bei is my mom’s Achilles’ heel. Her son has finally become successful, and now he’s being bullied. It’s hard for her not to be angry. She said that she’d just pretend she didn’t have parents. These are just words spoken in anger. You and Grandma should not take them to heart. She’s just really angry.”
Xu Zhe sat on the sofa in the study and wiped away his tears. "You are a good child. With you by my side, I can rest assured. I can close my eyes in peace."
"Grandpa, please don't say that. It's not easy for you and Mom to see each other. You and Grandma must take good care of yourselves."
Seeing that he still looked sad, Lin Wanwan poured him a cup of tea and said.
"I'll try my best and give you a great-grandchild in two years, okay? I'll bring it to play with you every day."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, then don't forget to bring them over to play with me more often. Your grandma and I are lonely at home, so come and play more often."
