"Age is not a problem. Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Yingying is waiting for me to have lunch."
"Alright, alright. Mom won't bother you anymore. This girl is so much younger than you, so please take good care of her, okay?"
"When you get home, don't act like a king, waiting to be served. Do you understand?"
Qin Fang hummed in agreement twice and then hung up the phone.
Would he dare to bully her?
We're too busy spoiling her.
When he came out of the office again, there were hardly any pedestrians on the street...
He quickened his pace toward the bungalows in the family compound.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he heard cheerful laughter coming from the living room. This was the home he had always dreamed of, and at this moment he had such an ordinary life.
very nice.
It's not a dream; it's real.
It's not too late for everything; he's slowly making up for the things he regrets one by one.
Su Ying and Du Yunying were having a great time chatting when they saw Qin Fang walk in and asked him to join them.
"Dad, you're back. Sit down quickly, we've been waiting for you to come home for dinner. How did things go?"
Qin Fang sat down. "The matter has been resolved. After this experience, those gossipy military wives will never dare to spread rumors again. Don't worry."
"Anyway, if they dare to spread rumors again, it's normal for the men to suffer the consequences."
Su Ying gave a thumbs up, "Dad's move is really brilliant. He can even come up with such a wicked method. No wonder he's a leader. Using their men to keep these gossipy military wives in check is simply ingenious."
Qin Fang had a smug look on his face, but Du Yunying poured cold water on him, saying, "If such a high-ranking official can't even handle such a small matter, then he's too pathetic."
Gu Sinian and Su Ying exchanged a glance; it seemed their mother-in-law was still angry.
The two of them had gossipy expressions on their faces, clearly eager to hear about their parents' gossip.
Qin Fang did not satisfy their curiosity, but instead gave them a lot of instructions.
"Yingying. It's best if only the four of us know that Du Yunying is your mother. If others ask, just give them a vague answer. These days, feudal superstitions are being cracked down on, and I don't want to lose someone I've already regained."
Su Ying understood that she wouldn't tell anyone about her rebirth, including Gu Sinian, since it was too incredible; she would just treat it as a dream.
"I know."
"You can't even tell your grandparents. Just say that Aunt Du fell in love at first sight."
"This way of addressing her needs to be changed. She's called 'Mom' in private, but it's fine as long as she knows it. After all, your current Aunt Du is only nine years older than you, so calling her 'Mom' isn't appropriate."
Su Ying nodded. She would do whatever her father said. After all, this was indeed inappropriate. If people heard her calling someone she hadn't known for long "Mom," what would they say about her?
"I understand. I won't call it that again."
After settling things off with his beloved daughter, Qin Fang turned his gaze to Gu Sinian, saying, "I won't say anything more."
"That's good. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
Qin Fang was quite satisfied with the food Gu Sinian had prepared, and he found Gu Sinian more and more pleasing to the eye, no longer as annoying as he had seemed before.
"Your cooking skills are pretty good, kid."
Gu Sinian smiled awkwardly; this was something he had specially learned for the little girl.
Aunt Su had initially agreed to marry the little girl to him, but later, for some reason, her fiancé's surname changed to Jiang. While things were still relatively harmonious, Gu Sinian wanted to find out why she had abandoned him and chosen Jiang Yibo.
"Auntie, I want to ask why you broke your contract and chose Jiang Yibo?"
Du Yunying paused, her hand still holding the food she was picking up. "I didn't. If I hadn't betrothed Yingying to you, how could you two have gotten married?"
Su Ying licked her lips. She didn't know about this either. She had always thought that Jiang Yibo was her fiancé, which was why she was so devoted to that scumbag in her previous life.
"My fiancé has always been Jiang Yibo, how did it become you? I didn't know that."
Du Yunying exclaimed many times before finally understanding who was behind this.
"What's going on, Yingying? Didn't I leave you a letter explaining your engagement with Gu Sinian and his contact information? Didn't you receive it?"
Su Ying shook her head, looking completely bewildered. "I did receive a letter, but it said that you betrothed me to Jiang Yibo, and we'll get married after I turn twenty."
Du Yunying finally understood what was going on. "This matter is definitely related to that bastard Xu Zhiming, who bears an unshirkable responsibility."
“He was having an affair with Lin Yurou at the time, and they had a daughter before marriage. I knew all of these things. After all, our marriage was a mutually beneficial arrangement, so I turned a blind eye to it.”
“He secretly used his monthly living expenses to help Lin Yurou and her daughter.”
Su Ying couldn't understand the intricacies of the situation. "Why does that scumbag Xu Zhimo insist on tying me to Jiang Yibo? What's his motive?"
Gu Sinian came from a detective background and had naturally quick thinking skills, which allowed him to pick up on unusual information.
"Because he was in cahoots with the Chiang family and had established a relationship to some extent."
"What's the meaning?"
"Xu Zhiming and the Jiang family have reached a consensus to tie you and Jiang Yibo together. They only want to get something from you, such as property, and they will get rid of you as soon as possible. They are working together to devour your property."
Su Ying recalled how in her past life she was schemed against and left with nothing. She spent three days being reformed on a farm, and then she died.
It turns out everything was premeditated; her fiancé was never Jiang Yibo, but Gu Sinian…
She thought that her fiancé was chosen by her grandparents and mother. She had grown up with Jiang Yibo since childhood, so she agreed. She never expected there to be such a hidden story.
If she had known these things in her past life, she wouldn't have ended up like that.
She hated it so much.
Neither the Xu family nor the Jiang family can be forgiven.
"My grandparents passed away shortly after my mother's death, and they must have been behind it."
"I was too merciful. Father, Si Nian, you must use all your connections to make sure the Xu and Jiang families suffer a terrible fate. I want them to never have a peaceful life again."
Qin Fang and Gu Sinian nodded.
Du Yunying sat there and probably understood what was going on.
"Weren't your grandparents in good health? How could they have passed away after only a few years?"
"Some people can't wait to inherit the Su family and find their grandparents an eyesore."
When Du Yunying heard the truth, she cried her heart out, "It was my fault for letting the wolf into the house and causing their deaths. It's all my fault, all my fault, all my fault."
Du Yunying pounded her chest and cried so miserably that Qin Fang felt sorry for her for a long time.
Although Qin Fang was confused by what he heard, he understood that the deaths of his father-in-law and mother-in-law were inextricably linked to those bastards in Jiang City.
"Don't worry! I will definitely make those bastards get the punishment they deserve."
Gu Sinian finally understood why his fiancée had become someone else's fiancée. This matter was not over yet, and neither Xu Zhimo nor Jiang Yibo would escape.
He still has connections in Xinjiang City, so just wait and see.
If you can't kill someone, then kill them.
With the weight lifted from his heart, Gu Sinian felt much more at ease.
