Chapter 212 Someone Doesn’t Want Her to Go Back
When Gu Lan heard the noise, although he knew that his little cousin would not suffer any loss, it would be unreasonable for him not to step forward to explain his own affairs.
"You guys go back. I have nothing to tell you. The baby in your belly has nothing to do with the Pei family." Gu Lan walked over to Li Mumu and took her hand, his voice gentle, "Look, your hands are so cold. Come inside and warm them up."
The house smelled of fragrant oil.
In the past, Pei Qiuge naturally didn't care, but during these days of exile, she hadn't eaten anything good.
Her mother also keeps a close eye on the family's money.
She licked her cracked lips. Gu Lan was wearing thick, clean and beautiful clothes, and was wearing gold, silver and jade jewelry. He didn't look like an exiled prisoner at all. He was no different from when he was in the Pei family.
Not to mention that Li Mumu was wearing a gold locket, which made her look noble.
"Gu Lan, you really don't understand the rules. We are guests here, is this how you treat us?"
As soon as Pei Qiuge finished speaking, Li Mumu threw a snowball at her mouth.
"Pah, pah, pah, it hurts so much, you little bastard..."
Li Mumu made a face at her and said, "This is my home."
"How come your family..."
Before Pei Qiuge could finish her words, Jiang Xinyue pulled her back and said, "Qiuge, don't be rude."
"Mom!" Pei Qiuge stomped her feet in anger, but stopped in time when she met her mother's cold eyes.
Jiang Xinyue felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have brought her daughter here. She was secretly worried that things would be messed up.
"Lan'er, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. The past is in the past. I'm here because of you and Yuan Qing. Look at how big your belly is. You're going to be a mother soon. If nothing else, you have to consider the child in your belly."
Jiang Xinyue acted like an elder and said earnestly, "Not only does the child have to live with someone else right after birth, but he can't even be with his father. How pitiful that child must be."
"What do you mean by living under someone else's roof?" Gu Lan said coldly, "My last name is Gu, and my child's last name is Gu too. This is his home. At least here, no one will do anything to him or take his life."
She looked at Jiang Xinyue coldly, "I don't want to waste time talking to you. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."
"Gu Lan, you're a divorced woman. Our family only let you go back because we felt sorry for you. If you weren't pregnant with my eldest brother's child, do you think we would be willing to let you go back?"
"Then forget it. I won't go back." Gu Lan said in a deep voice, "My uncle is at home. He has a bad temper. If you don't leave, he'll come out."
"Lan'er, where did this wild dog come from that's barking here?" Gu Mingjing had heard the noise in the yard a long time ago. If Gu Lan and Xiao Mumu were bullied, he would immediately rush over and throw the mother and daughter out.
"You...Gu Lan, don't go too far!" Pei Qiuge said angrily, thinking that Gu Lan should be grateful and not be so arrogant.
Jiang Xinyue was still afraid. She was afraid that she would really be beaten. The Gu family was a group of reckless men, and it would not be worth it if she got beaten.
"Lan'er, please think about this matter. I'll go back first and come back in two days."
Jiang Xinyue took her daughter and left quickly, fearing that Gu Mingjing would rush over and hit them.
It’s a pity that I didn’t even get into the house.
"Mother~"
"Shut up!" Jiang Xinyue said coldly, "I've already told you that this can't go wrong, but you're still acting like a young lady. If your father finds out, how am I going to explain this to him?"
"I've told you before that those who achieve great things must be able to bend and stretch. Don't you want your beautiful clothes anymore?"
"I..." Pei Qiuge pouted and said in a wronged and coquettish manner, "Mom, didn't I forget? But Gu Lan was also wrong. Her attitude towards us was not good at all."
Jiang Xinyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm afraid if this happened to you, you'd be in an even worse situation."
Jiang Xinyue is not like Wang Yufen, on the contrary she is very smart.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have cheated Pei Yuanqing for so many years and still made Pei Yuanqing so grateful. Pei Yuanqing's case is enough to show that she is very smart, and for the sake of her goals, she will endure and know how to play the long game to catch a big fish.
Unfortunately, Pei Qiuge was spoiled by her and was unwilling to suffer any grievance.
"Mom, I won't be divorced by my in-laws." Pei Qiuge was also unhappy.
"Oh, don't tell your cousin when you go back. If Gu Lan comes back, she will be turned into a concubine, and she won't be happy."
"I see, mother. Am I that stupid? Do you think I'm your big brother?" Pei Qiuge scoffed at Pei Yuanqing. "He's the only one who's stupid. He's still counting money after being sold."
"Okay, next time you see the Gu family, don't talk like that. This is what your father meant. If you mess up, he won't forgive you."
Pei Qiuge nodded reluctantly, "I understand. I'll try to control myself next time. But you can't blame me just now. It was Gu Lan and that little girl who were rude first. If they had spoken to me nicely, I wouldn't have that attitude."
Jiang Xinyue knew her daughter well and told her not to bring anything with her next time.
She was also clear about this matter. It was impossible to accomplish it in just one visit. She still needed to use some means. If it were that easy, Pei Zhen would not have said such words.
Gu Lan took Li Mumu's hand and returned to the house, but the anger on Gu Mingjing's face had not subsided.
"How can they have the nerve to have a child?" Gu Mingtang said angrily.
Gu Lan sneered, "The Pei family has always been thick-skinned. They don't really want children, they just want to get a piece of the pie because we're doing well."
Gu Mingyu nodded. It was good that his daughter saw through everything. "Lan'er, I'm sorry for choosing such a family for you."
"Dad, you can only judge a person by their appearance, not their heart. It was only after I got married that I realized how filthy the Pei family was. You don't have to blame yourself. If you had married someone else, I'm afraid the Gu family would have been in trouble too."
Having said that, Gu Mingyu still felt sorry for his daughter. Besides, other families might not really do such a shameless thing.
"No matter what they say, there's no way I'll ever go back to the Pei family." Gu Lan said solemnly.
"Why go back? It's enough to go through hard times once. It would be foolish to go back again." Gu Mingjing said: "Don't worry, the next time they come, I will go out and throw them to the back mountain. See if they dare to come again!"
"Uncle, that's so troublesome."
"It's not a problem..." Gu Mingjing blurted out, but suddenly realized, "Mumu, do you have any good ideas again?"
Li Mumu nodded with a smile, "Everyone in the Pei family hopes that cousin will return, but there is one person who doesn't want to!"
"Jiang Tingting?" Gu Lan said, "If I go back, I will naturally be the legal wife, and she will be embarrassed."
"That's right. I'm afraid the Pei family is still hiding it from her. If she knew... hehe..." Li Mumu laughed mischievously, "The Pei family will definitely be in chaos."
