Everyone laughed for a while, and then Madam Gu waved to Lin Chuxia, signaling her to come to her side.
"Little Xia, how long has Master Tao been staying at your house? When did it start?"
"I don't remember exactly when it started, but it was probably seven or eight years ago. Every summer he would spend some time there to escape the heat and have fun."
Madam Gu: "Was Master Tao also here last year and the year before?"
Lin Chuxia nodded: "Yes, he comes every year."
So everyone turned to look at Gu Yuheng with unanimous attention.
Listen to this! They come every year, and this guy has been living at the girl's house for so long, yet he knows nothing about it.
Someone like him actually managed to get married... tsk tsk tsk, only Chu Xia is easy to fool, otherwise he'd be a bachelor for life!
This incident gave everyone a new understanding of Gu Yuheng.
Madam Gu: I originally thought that the third son was the most reliable one, but it turns out that he was the most unreliable one! Luckily, she and her husband stepped in, otherwise the wife who was almost in their grasp would have flown away.
Gu Yuheng, once again met with unanimous disdain from everyone, was speechless.
Gu Hongxiu said with a smile, "Xiaxia, besides these, you're not hiding anything else from us, are you?"
Lin Chuxia: "That's all."
I think... that's all. She never intended to hide anything from anyone.
The incident involving Tao Qinghua was purely coincidental.
"That's good, that's good. Otherwise, my heart couldn't take another surprise like this." Gu Hongxiu directly expressed everyone's true feelings at that moment.
The legendary young genius who rejected Master Tao was from the Gu family. While this news was certainly shocking, it wasn't enough to frighten them.
What truly shocked them was that Lin Chuxia, at only thirteen or fourteen years old, could compose world-class masterpieces!
Just how talented must she be! No wonder Master Tao has been so fond of her all these years and has always wanted to take her as his apprentice.
...
After returning from the Gu family's old house, Fang Jiaxi became much quieter. Lin Chuxia sensed that Fang Jiaxi had been secretly observing her the whole way, and although she mustered up the courage to speak to her several times, she ultimately didn't dare to.
Lin Chuxia didn't care, as long as the child didn't keep calling her a "vixen" or "shameless."
Although it's nice to be complimented on my looks, it's still quite unpleasant to be inexplicably antagonized.
This time, even after they got home, Gu Yuheng once again condescended to squat down and help Lin Chuxia take off her shoes and socks. Fang Jiaxi saw this, pouted, and silently walked away.
...
night.
Just before going to bed, Lin Chuxia was about to return to her room when Fang Jiaxi called her back.
“Hey, don’t think that just because you helped me today I’ll be grateful to you! One thing at a time, just consider today’s matter another favor I owe you. I’ll find a way to pay you back later. Don’t think that I’ll give up on Brother Gu because of this.”
Fang Jiaxi leaned against the wall, holding a book in her arms. She didn't look at Lin Chuxia when she spoke, and her posture seemed to indicate that she was feeling a bit awkward.
Lin Chuxia was actually a little confused. She didn't feel that Fang Jiaxi liked Gu Yuheng that much, so why was she always targeting her?
If she likes someone, her eyes will more or less reveal some joy and tenderness when she looks at him, right?
