"Well, if you don't know, forget it, forget it." Gu Xu, who was lying down, was frightened. Would she pinch herself to death?
Gu Panxi glanced at him and said, "Dad, you should have a good rest. I still have training tonight. Call me if you need me."
Gu Yu nodded repeatedly.
"What's wrong with this family?" Seeing Gu Panxi leave, Gu's mother burst into tears.
"What's wrong? What else can you do? It's all because of that Chen Xiaoxiao!" Gu Yu said angrily. He was a man who valued face the most, but now he had completely lost face.
I don’t know who is so wicked as to spread their family’s affairs everywhere.
How much I loved this adopted daughter in the past, how much I regret it now.
"How about we just make the best of it and let our son marry Xiaoxiao..." Mother Gu's voice gradually faded. "Look at our daughter Panxi, she's not close to us. Do you expect her to take care of you in the future?"
Gu Yi glared: "I am her father..." He stared at the slightly bent iron frame, and the pain in his arm reminded him, "You decide! Don't ask me!"
The Chen family kept a close eye on Chen Xiaoxiao, fearing she would run away, and even forbade her from going to school.
Chen Xiaoxiao also knew why. It was because those loan sharks came again and again to collect debts. Her own brother and father would fawn on them, but would turn around and vent their anger on her, as if she was the one who made them owe the debt.
Gu Xiuyuan came several times, but never mentioned marriage, which made the Chen family a little impatient.
Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. Every day she either washed dishes and clothes or did this and that. Her delicate hands began to become rough. This made her think of Gu Panxi. Did she live this kind of life before?
Now Chen's mother no longer pretends, and would scold her as a "bitch girl" from time to time. Her own father is even more of a bastard, and he actually beats her when he is angry with her elsewhere.
She felt a resentment accumulating in her heart. She hated both the Chen family and the Gu family!
Fortunately, Gu Xiuyuan came this time and brought good news. Gu's mother agreed to their marriage.
The one who was happier than Chen Xiaoxiao was Chen's mother. She couldn't wait to talk about the issue of the bride price. Gu Xiuyuan patted his chest and said that as long as Xiaoxiao was with him, any amount would be fine!
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at him with joy in her eyes. Seeing her admiring eyes, Gu Xiuyuan felt so proud that he took charge of everything and decided everything.
He turned around and was scolded by Gu's mother.
"Do you know how much money your family has? Huh? A million in betrothal gifts?"
"Mom, Xiaoxiao grew up under your care..."
When Chen Xiaoxiao was mentioned, Mother Gu held back for a moment: "That's one million! Your dad would be furious if he knew!"
"Xiaoxiao said she would bring the money back."
"Really?" Mother Gu's eyes lit up.
"Really." Gu Xiuyuan patted his chest.
"But one million, plus the car, house, and banquet, all of which are quite a lot of expenses..."
"By the way, Gu Panxi can make money on her own now, right?" Gu Xiuyuan said suddenly. He met Gu Panxi once by chance. She seemed to be leading people to recruit students for some school. She looked quite stupid.
Mother Gu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"I'm not going to borrow money from her, but the money you left for her tuition, can we move it around for now?"
Mother Gu took a breath and made a phone call after a while. She wanted to talk about the special situation at the moment, but Gu Panxi on the other end of the phone agreed without hesitation.
Gu Xiuyuan frowned. No wonder his younger sister was so unlikable and not sweet at all.
