“I’ve already told them I have a girlfriend, but they just won’t believe me. They all keep trying to get on me, either by drugging me, drowning me, or even stripping me naked to ruin my reputation and force me to marry her through public opinion. One of them was even more outrageous. I’ve never even met her, but she’s so narcissistic that she claims to be my fiancée and has even prepared a wedding for me. All that’s missing is me.”
"Yes, you heard right. The other party's biological mother, or rather, her sister, offered to be my godmother. Then her daughter took a liking to me and held the wedding at their house without even informing my grandparents or father. Then the godmother found a chance to trick me into going. It was only because the eldest brother and Pei Chuan realized something was wrong that I ran away halfway through. Otherwise, I would have really gone, and the fake wedding would have become a real wedding."
At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice and explained the situation to Gu Wanwan with great grievance, "Sister-in-law, I was almost sold off by my godmother's family. Afterwards, my mother didn't even pursue the matter with my godmother's family. It's so frustrating. It makes me wonder if my biological mother was also involved. This godmother is a friend I met a year ago. We weren't very close at the time, but then one month later, we suddenly became as close as sisters. My mother used to be very principled and loved us brothers and sisters very much. She would never go against my father, grandparents, or other family members."
"I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but my personality seems to have changed a bit. It's not too different from before, but I always feel very strange, especially the way he looks at us. His eyes are complicated, distant, and resentful. He doesn't seem to have much patience with us. Does he think we're too rebellious and disobedient?"
"Moreover, my mother doesn't seem to like Chu Xuan and Pei Chuan being together. The two of them have argued about it several times. Logically speaking, the Gu and Sheng families are well-matched, so my mother has no reason to object. But she often privately advises Chu Xuan to break up with him and wants to matchmake her godmother's son so that the family can become even closer. I really can't understand it. Does my mother just not want to see us happy and has to break us up?"
"My grandparents scolded my mom, but she just pretended to listen. Sigh, I finally understand what it means to have your own problems. Not long after that incident, my mom kept finding excuses to take me to my godmother's house. She always tried to set me up with my godmother's daughter. I had to use all my skills to get away. Now my godmother's daughter still claims to be my boyfriend. When I call her shameless, my mom sides with outsiders and scolds me, saying that I bullied her and insisting that I take responsibility. Even Dou E couldn't have been wronged like me."
"Sister-in-law, you're so amazing, could you help me see if my mother is cursed or possessed? Sometimes I really wonder if I've been switched at birth, but Chu Xuan and I have tested her a few times and it seems absurd."
Whenever he thought about his mother's unusual behavior, Sheng Qing felt exhausted and couldn't help but complain to Gu Wanwan.
Seemingly realizing something, he quietly apologized to Fu Wanning, "I'm sorry, Wanning, I dragged you into this. My godmother's daughter somehow found out that my mother and I are dating. Although we're just pretending and you're my shield, she's already convinced you're her rival and is asking around about you. She doesn't even know my boyfriend's name yet. Don't be alone lately, or she'll find someone to embarrass you."
With her brother and sister-in-law as her backers, what is Fu Wan Ning afraid of? Besides, even if she is alone, her sister-in-law can provide her with a safe haven to escape danger. It is no exaggeration to say that even if a powerful figure from a lower-five family came, they might not be her match.
There's no way around it, that's just how confident I am.
She couldn't wait to face Sheng Qing's adopted sister; it was time to find someone to practice on and improve her combat experience.
Gu Wanwan narrowed her eyes, a glint of light flashing in her eyes as she turned away. "Looks like I'll have to visit the Sheng family. By the way, how are your parents? Are they sleeping in separate rooms? How is your father's reaction? I remember your parents had a love marriage and were very happy after marriage. Moreover, your mother and my grandfather are related by marriage, and they have a very good relationship with our Gu family."
Sheng Qing gave his sister-in-law a thumbs up and continued to speak in a low voice, "We started sleeping in separate rooms about a few months ago. We were having a cold war. My mom begged for reconciliation, but my dad was indifferent to her and didn't contact her. Last year, my mom considered Pei Chuan her son-in-law and helped Chu Xuan create opportunities to spend time together. Ever since my mom found out about the favoritism towards my godmother's family, her attitude towards my mom has become even colder. I once saw my mom sneaking into my dad's room, but my dad kicked her out. After that, my dad locks the door every night to prevent my mom from sneaking in."
