"Wow, it's so lively here today! What a coincidence!" A soft female voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
Gu Suian frowned, and a wave of annoyance washed over him.
He immediately stood up and strode towards the door, blocking Xiao Wanqing at the entrance.
"Miss Xiao, today is a family gathering, please go back."
Xiao Wanqing smiled gently and said shamelessly, "That's right, isn't it? I'm also a member of the Gu family. It means I've come at the perfect time."
Gu Suian froze, never expecting her to say such a thing. He immediately put on a stern face and said rudely, "Miss Xiao may still be recovering from her head injury and is somewhat unaware of her place. Please leave." He then glared angrily at the butler at the door. How could he let just anyone in!
The butler trembled, unsure what to say. After all, Gu Qingyan had previously instructed Miss Xiao that she could freely enter and leave the Gu family villa, treating it as her own home. How could he dare to stop her from entering?
"Uncle Gu, I'm here to see Qingyan!" Xiao Wanqing raised her voice, as if she wanted Gu Qingyan to hear her so that he would come out and support her.
Shen Yanshan and Shen Meiyan exchanged a glance. He didn't know much about Xiao Wanqing, but Shen Meiyan lowered her head and curled the corners of her lips slightly. She had heard of this person before, and had even mocked Shen Zhiqi when she and her girlfriends saw photos of her attending an event with Gu Qingyan. However, the news was later withdrawn, so she didn't take it to heart.
But now, this person has come directly to Shen Zhi Qiu's house. Interesting! She's waiting to see a good show!
"Qingyan! Qingyan!" Xiao Wanqing shouted directly into the room, ignoring Gu Suian's attempts to stop her.
Grandpa Gu was furious and slammed his cane hard on the ground.
At this moment, Gu Qingyan was helping Shen Zhiqiu walk towards the living room. Although Shen Zhiqiu looked unwilling, Gu Qingyan insisted that it was for her own good and forcibly pulled her arm.
As soon as she entered the living room, she heard Xiao Wanqing's voice. Shen Zhi Qiu sneered, her disgust for Gu Qingyan growing stronger as she looked at his face. She forcefully shook off his hand and said indifferently, "Your green tea lady is calling you. Go on."
Gu Qingyan frowned, tugged at his tie in frustration, and strode toward the door, seething with anger.
Gu Suian was indeed struggling to cope. After all, Xiao Wanqing was still a young woman, and he couldn't just drag her out, so the situation became somewhat awkward.
Before he knew it, Xiao Wanqing rushed into the living room, saw her grandfather sitting there, and sweetly called out, "Grandpa."
But Old Master Gu kept a cold face and didn't even glance at her.
She glanced awkwardly at Shen Yanshan and Shen Meiyan, who were present. She had never met them before, so she was unsure how to greet them.
"Wanqing".
Just then, Gu Qingyan called out to her, thus helping her out of the predicament.
Gu Qingyan's face remained expressionless. So much had happened lately that he didn't know how to face Xiao Wanqing, so he had simply avoided seeing her since the last time he saw her with Fu Jing. He never expected her to come knocking on his door, especially in such a chaotic situation.
"Qingyan, so you're here!" Xiao Wanqing saw Gu Qingyan and quickly ran towards him, then hugged him tightly, scolding him slightly, "Why didn't you come out sooner!" After seeing Shen Zhi Qiu not far away, she rolled her eyes at her.
The reactions of those present varied.
Grandpa Gu and Gu Suian were so angry that their anger surged to the top of their heads.
Shen Yanshan stared wide-eyed, not knowing what was going on.
Shen Meiyan raised an eyebrow, secretly pleased that her guess was correct.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked disgusted, then crossed her arms indifferently, watching them being all lovey-dovey. She wasn't faking it; the last bit of affection she had for Gu Qing Yan had vanished during this time.
She looked at Xiao Wanqing coldly and found that after doing so much, Xiao Wanqing still looked radiant, and her skin even looked more rosy and glowing than before.
It's so unfair that such a disgusting person lives such a comfortable life.
"Wanqing!" Gu Qingyan, somewhat embarrassed and impatient, pushed her away and scolded, "Look at you, what kind of state are you in?"
Xiao Wanqing pouted, her eyes immediately welling up with tears of grievance, and she looked at Gu Qingyan with pleading eyes, muttering, "You never used to be so fierce to me!"
After saying that, he glared fiercely at Shen Zhi Qiu.
Shen Zhi Qiu remained silent, too lazy to pay them any attention, and walked directly toward the sofa.
Just as Shen Zhi Qiu passed by them, Xiao Wan Qing lowered her voice and provocatively said to Shen Zhi Qiu, "If I can't have it, you can't have it either!"
Shen Zhi Qiu kept his eyes straight ahead and ignored her. To put it bluntly, it wasn't worth lowering himself to her level.
"You think you're something special just because you're pregnant? We don't even know if you'll be able to give birth!" Xiao Wanqing curled her lips and continued to provoke her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi Qiu immediately stopped and slapped her across the face.
Shen Zhi Qiu used all his strength to slap Xiao Wan Qing, who staggered and almost lost her balance. She quickly grabbed Gu Qing Yan's clothes to regain her balance.
"You dare hit me!" Xiao Wanqing covered her face, her eyes wide with shock.
"It's not like it's the first time I've hit you." Shen Zhi Qiu rubbed his palms and said casually, "If you dare to say anything out of line again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
"Qingyan, look at her!" As soon as Xiao Wanqing spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she looked at Gu Qingyan with red eyes.
"What? You want to stand up for your green tea girl? You want to slap me too?" Shen Zhi Qiu sneered, looking up at Gu Qing Yan.
"How could you think that?" Gu Qingyan frowned. Although Shen Zhi Qiu's act of hitting Xiao Wan Qing was a bit much, he had clearly heard Xiao Wan Qing's provocation, so he said to her with a stern face, "Wan Qing, you're in the wrong. You can't just say things like that. Besides, you cursed my child. Have you thought about that?"
Seeing that he was angry but still maintained a reasonable and good temper, Shen Zhi Qiu felt disgusted again and quickly left in disgust.
"Green inkstone..."
Shen Zhi Qiu heard the affected voice behind her and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Sister!" Shen Meiyan saw her coming and quickly stood up to greet her, feigning concern as she asked, "Are you alright? Who is that woman? She seems to have a close relationship with my brother-in-law. Is that why you hit her?"
Upon hearing Shen Meiyan's words, both Grandpa Gu and Gu Suian tightened their faces, truly no longer wanting to acknowledge Gu Qingyan as their own child!
“An unimportant person.” Shen Zhi Qiu walked past her, sat down, and said indifferently.
Seeing Shen Meiyan's smug expression, Shen Zhi Qiu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Just like you, she's a disgusting 'sister'."
