Gu Yingying asked Xu Hengkai: "What does Gu Panpan mean? It's scary to make it mysterious about past and present lives. Will you really go find her?"
Xu Hengkai: "I won't go to her even if I go crazy."
Gu Yingying smiled and reached out to help Xu Hengkai straighten his collar. Seeing that his forehead was slightly sweaty, she took out a handkerchief to wipe it and said distressedly, "It's too heavy. It should take two men to lift it... How about putting it down first and taking a rest?"
Xu Hengkai: "You can hold on until you get to the car. What's in here? Stones?" It's so heavy that it hurts his shoulders.
Gu Yingying chuckled: "They are all old things, bottles and jars."
Xu Hengkai was speechless. This was almost like a stone.
"You are like Taotao, you like to collect antique bottles and jars."
"You have to keep it even if you don't like it. It's what my mother left behind, so I have to take it away."
When Gu Yingying's mother passed away, she had already turned ten and was sensible enough. Her mother hid some valuable things from her dowry very well and told her to take them with her when she got married.
Even her father didn't know about these things. In addition to antique bottles and jars, there were also various utensils made of real gold and silver, and jade carvings.
Gu Guangming only knew that his wife left behind several boxes of jewelry and a lot of valuable clothes and fabrics, such as exquisitely made cheongsams. He felt that it was natural for his daughter to inherit these things. The old lady and Jian Rong successively expressed their willingness to take care of them, but he refused and let Gu Yingying keep them herself.
What the mother-in-law left to her daughter-in-law is not only a family heirloom, but also a thought. Xu Hengkai has to treat it with more care and walk more lightly.
When he met Gu Guangming in the front yard, Xu Hengkai didn't say much and continued to walk out - the boxes were getting heavier and heavier, and he had to put them on the car quickly, otherwise it would not be able to hold.
Gu Guangming didn't care about Xu Hengkai. He wanted to say a few words to Gu Yingying, so the father and daughter talked as they walked.
"Yingying, after getting the certificate tomorrow, will you go back to Hai City to work?"
"Yes." Gu Yingying roughly guessed what her father meant, so she didn't tell him that she could actually stay in Beijing for two or three more days.
Gu Guangming sighed and said, "Registration is a big deal and worth celebrating. Dad is thinking about you two coming back together so that our whole family can have a reunion dinner."
Gu Yingying smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Who else in this family would like to see me? Gu Panpan wants me to die right now. What about the reunion dinner? I'm afraid it will turn into a farewell banquet in the end."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Guangming scolded, "This is your home. I am your father, and there are your aunt Jian and two sisters. They will all be on your side."
"It's pointless to say these things, they're all fake. Gu Panpan hurt me with a fruit knife and disfigured me, but no one in the Gu family said a fair word for me, including you. You ignored me and left me to fend for myself. This is enough to prove that this family means nothing to me. Other girls get married and have a family behind them, but I have a den of wolves behind me!"
"you……"
Gu Guangming had a headache and looked at his daughter with some heartache: "How could I ignore you? I went to Xu's house twice to take you to the hospital for treatment. It was your parents-in-law who said that it would be better for you to stay in Xu's house. They hired a doctor to take care of you. In addition, I also thought that his family might have good medicine, so I didn't insist. Look, you are better now, aren't you disfigured?
Your grandfather has punished Panpan, and she cannot go out for a year. Panpan has liked Hengkai for many years, and she was wholeheartedly preparing to marry into the Xu family, but Hengkai chose you. This was too much of a blow to her, and she couldn't bear it, so she inevitably made mistakes. You are the eldest sister, you should be tolerant, after all, you are the flesh and blood, and the past is the past, forgive her, and in the future you sisters will support each other and live a good life. "
Gu Yingying was so angry at these words that her hands were shaking: "She used a knife to kill me, I can't hate her, I have to forgive her, because she can't kill me? Dad, do you know what you are saying? You are trying to exonerate the murderer!"
"Yingying, we are family! The Gu family doesn't want you to get hurt, and they also don't want to lose Panpan. Your second uncle did a lot for the family back then, and what he couldn't let go of the most before he died were his children, so it's reasonable for your grandparents to be a little partial..."
“Yingying!”
The father and daughter had already reached the gate. Gu Yingying rushed out in tears. Xu Hengkai had already opened the car door, helped her into the car, then closed the door and turned around to greet Gu Guangming.
"Uncle Gu, Gu Panpan hurt Yingying, and you handled it unfairly. I can't say more now, but after Yingying and I get married, if this kind of thing happens again, I hope you can accept my way of handling it."
Gu Guangming: “…”
He just feels tired now. His daughter is no longer as obedient as before, and his son-in-law has started to intimidate his father-in-law before they have even officially obtained the marriage certificate.
Can we still expect them after this?
He waved his hand somewhat unhappily: "I have things to do tomorrow, go back first and take good care of Yingying."
"Uncle Gu, let's talk about Gu Panpan and Lian Yinghao..."
"Well, we're already engaged, so what can we do?"
"You can cancel the engagement. You must cancel it, and do it as soon as possible."
"Heng Kai, now that you are married to Yingying, you should treat her well and live your life seriously. You don't have to worry about Panpan anymore. She has her own life."
"Uncle Gu!" Xu Hengkai thought he was a very calm person, but he was almost pissed off by his father-in-law. He was just about to reveal some "inside story" to let him know how powerful he was, but he saw two more people coming out of the door. They were Gu Panpan and Gu Wanwan.
If he stayed any longer, Gu Panpan would definitely pester him again. Xu Hengkai didn't want to affect his mood as he had important things to do tomorrow.
Xu Hengkai said to Gu Guangming, "We're leaving," turned around and got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
The two were originally going to go directly back to Xu's house, but they turned around and went to Shen's house halfway.
It was Xu Hengkai's idea. Seeing that Gu Yingying was in tears and looked depressed, he thought that her mood was completely ruined, so he took her back to the Shen residence to see Shen Yunhai. Gu Yingying said that once she saw the innocent look of the little guy, all her worries would disappear.
Everyone in the Xu family, young and old, had gone back, but Shen Yunhai was awake at this time. The lights in the living room were bright. Liu Yongsheng, Han Shufang, Liu Jianli, Xu Yulin, as well as Shen Heping and Xu Zhen were all there. Wang Cuixi was holding Shen Yunhai, and Xiao Mingming was lying beside her talking to Shen Yunhai. Shen Yunhai was listening carefully, and from time to time he let out a string of sweet and crisp laughter, which made everyone laugh along.
When Gu Yingying heard Shen Yunhai's laughter, she was immediately healed. She hurriedly washed her face and hands with a smile on her face, then ran into the living room, ignoring even Xu Hengkai.
Xu Hengkai was relieved. As long as his wife was happy, it was fine.
Turning around to look for Shen Yu, I discovered that the couple was in the bedroom - the child was thrown in the living room, and the two of them were hiding there.
Xiao Wangcai, who was guarding the door, barked. Shen Yu came out and saw that his eldest cousin had come back again. He told Meng Tao in the room, and the two brothers went to the study to talk.
