Gu Xin had no doubts about Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian, because the two of them had never taken her out with them before.
Aside from scolding her, Cai Xiaolian almost never spoke to her.
Aside from stealing her food, Gu Nian usually ignores her.
Moreover, she is currently preoccupied with feeling that she is a burden to her mother and sister, and is thinking about changing herself, so she has no time to think about anything else.
"What are you doing here?" At this moment, Gu Shouxin suddenly appeared and looked at the mother and her two daughters in surprise.
He had just come from the dock and happened to run into the mother and her two daughters who were on their way to find him.
"Dad, Mom and my sister were so amazing just now, they..." Gu Xin ran up to Gu Shouxin, grabbed his hand, looked up, and said excitedly.
Gu Shouxin frowned upon hearing this, and his voice turned somewhat somber afterward: "Zhang the Skinflint? Where are they now?"
"Don't frown, you're scaring Xin Xin. Those people were bitten by wild dogs, you don't need to teach them a lesson. Are you hungry? Come on, we rarely come to town, let's go get something to eat first!" Cai Xiaolian saw Gu Xin's little hand shrink back in fright, so she stepped forward, took Gu Xin's hand, and then said to Gu Shouxin.
“Yes, yes, let’s eat something. We’ve used up so much energy just now, I’m a little hungry!” Gu Nian chimed in.
Gu Xin held Cai Xiaolian's hand and looked at Gu Shouxin expectantly.
Dad has become fierce again. Is it because I've noticed a change in my family these past few days, and they've been talking more, which has made Dad angry?
Gu Xin was somewhat annoyed, afraid that her parents and sister would revert to their old ways.
"Okay, let's go eat something." Seeing Gu Xin's pitiful little face, Gu Shouxin felt extremely sorry for her. His brows relaxed, and he smiled gently at Gu Xin before taking her other hand.
The former Ninth Prince was capricious and could completely control his expressions; he could get angry or laugh at will.
Gu Xin blinked.
She had never been led by the hand by her parents like this before. She used to envy the children in the village who were led by their parents to the town to go to the market to buy things.
Gu Nian walked to the side, looking at Gu Xin's silly appearance. It was really hard to connect her with the heroine in the book who was bright-eyed, gentle, understanding, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and prose.
The female protagonist, Gu Xin, was sold to pay off gambling debts and taken to Jiangnan by a family of slave traders. They carefully nurtured her, and in just six years, they transformed her into someone the male protagonist could never forget.
This silly girl has transformed into a completely different person in six years. How much suffering must she have endured!
Did the heavens take pity on Gu Xin for the suffering she endured in her previous life and send three different people to take care of her in this life, so that she could live a carefree and happy life in this one?
Gu Shouxin originally wanted to take the three of them to a restaurant, but he couldn't help it. He was used to it. Although he had accepted that Gu Shouxin was a gambling addict, it had only been a few days, and he couldn't change his usual behavior all at once.
Cai Xiaolian was quick to change her mind; she simply pulled them around the corner from the restaurant entrance to a small noodle stall next door.
“Dad, we don’t have much money. A bowl of noodle soup will do. We’ll go buy some meat later and have Niannian cook a nice meal when we get back. We have other things to do at home! Let’s not dawdle.” Cai Xiaolian thought of the vegetables growing rapidly in the family garden and wanted to quickly pull Gu Shouxin back to check on them.
