Mr. Gu also said, "Yes, how did you escape? The Ye family helped contact the embassy, but they didn't get any news."
Tong Su made up a story: "Luckily, someone happened to be passing by and rescued me. I was trapped for a long time, but now I can finally come back."
"You're lucky to be back; you should thank him a lot."
Father Gu nodded and then instructed Gu Chengzong:
"Chengzong, go and call the Ye family. Let's have dinner together tonight. The child is back safe and sound, so they can rest assured. Also, make sure to invite Young Master Ye, understand?"
"Don't worry, Uncle, I understand."
Seeing Gu's father's complete lack of concern for Tongsu, Gu Chengzong's smile softened even more.
Tong Su lowered her eyes obediently on the surface, but inwardly she was sneering.
Although Gu's father was ruthless, he was generally a very straightforward person who immediately expressed his emotions.
On the contrary, it is Gu Chengzong, her half-brother, who is the real smiling tiger!
Gu Chengzong and Gu Yanxue's mother was Gu's father's mistress. She used to be his secretary, and when she got together with him, Gu's father had only been married to Yang's mother for a short time.
When his secretary became pregnant, even before Yang's mother, Gu's father had an ultrasound done and found out it was a son. Overjoyed, he arranged a house for her in a neighboring city.
After the child is born, he will send him back to his hometown and have his older brother raise him.
Especially after Yang's mother finally became pregnant a few years later and gave birth to a daughter, Gu's father preferred Gu Chengzong even more: This was a son! He could carry on his family line!
Gu Yanxue and Gu Zhuyang were born around the same time. Gu's father kept it a secret very well, and only people from his hometown knew the truth.
Yang's mother never knew until her death that her husband had actually had illegitimate children outside of their marriage.
Gu Chengzong called the Ye family, and the Ye family was naturally very happy to receive the news that Tong Su had returned safely.
They inquired about Tongsu's well-being and asked how she had returned.
Gu Chengzong hadn't gotten the details out of Tong Su yet, so he couldn't answer. But his answer was watertight; he simply invited them to dinner that night, and that they could ask him anything during the meal.
The Ye family hesitated for a moment, perhaps after consulting with someone, before smiling and saying, "The master and madam have a meeting to attend tonight and are afraid they won't have time, but the eldest son happens to be in Qing City and can attend."
"Alright, alright, this is a good opportunity for the two younger generation to have a chat!"
Father Gu was overjoyed and made Gu Chengzong agree immediately.
Soon, the Ye family sent over Ye's contact information. Gu's father then had someone take Tongsu to rest and recuperate while waiting for the appointed time.
Men would never imagine that girls should go to a beauty salon to groom themselves before attending a banquet. Gu Chengzong knew this, but he didn't say anything. He even deliberately smiled at Tong Su and said, "It's okay to look a little haggard. If Young Master Ye saw this, he would probably be very distressed."
The slender girl bit her lip timidly and lowered her head, as if too afraid to utter a sound.
When Gu Chengzong saw her sharp-tongued way of mocking his father, he felt a little strange and wary. But seeing her pitiful state now, that wariness quickly dissipated.
I guess she was just extremely angry.
Gu Zhuyang has always been such a cowardly guy, how could he possibly have the guts to argue with them?
While waiting for the restaurant arranged by the eldest son of the Ye family to arrive, the three of them got ready and went downstairs to the living room to wait.
Gu Chengzong planned to ask who had saved Tongsu first, and it was at this moment that Gu Yanxue returned home.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Yanxue exclaimed in surprise. Tong Su looked at her with a light laugh: "Does my cousin think I'm definitely going to die abroad?"
