Ye Qingtao didn't want to be angry with a child, but she also didn't want to forgive him so easily.

When Ye Qingtao came out of the shower, Gu Xiuping had already left.

Ye Qingtao breathed a sigh of relief. If this child kept pestering her for forgiveness, she was not a hard-hearted person and might not be able to resist.

Now that he left on his own, it actually relieved a lot of pressure on her.

Ye Qingtao returned to her room and lay down, wondering why Gu Jingming hadn't come back yet.

She was exhausted from calculating the prescription ratio every day and fell asleep soon after lying down.

It was already late at night when Gu Jingming came back. He saw the bundle gathered in the corner and realized that something had happened.

The reason why he is so busy until now is that a former comrade-in-arms was seriously injured, and his comrade-in-arms' family called him and asked him to use his connections to arrange a hospital stay.

He had a very close relationship with this comrade-in-arms. The two of them had carried out many missions together. It was no exaggeration to say that they were friends for life and death.

Seeing his comrades suffering, he had to step forward to help since he had the time.

Gu Jingming was busy with this matter all day.

After finally finishing the work, I didn't expect that there was another fire in the backyard.

Gu Jingming took some clean clothes and took a shower. He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

If I have something on my mind, I will feel uneasy even when I fall asleep.

Gu Jingming fell asleep in a daze and opened his eyes at dawn the next day.

Ye Qingtao was facing him at this time. With the little light coming through the curtains, Gu Jingming could clearly see the worry on her face.

Although she was already asleep, she frowned slightly.

With just one glance, Gu Jingming knew that she must be hiding something in her heart.

Gu Jingming had many guesses in his mind and thought of several possibilities, but he was not sure.

She lives under the same roof with her grandmother and several younger brothers, so it is normal for them to have conflicts over time. But I don’t know what happened yesterday?

Thinking of this, Gu Jingming quietly got out of bed.

Aunt Liu has the habit of getting up early as she is old. At this time, she has already gotten up and is busy in the kitchen.

Gu Jingming quietly appeared behind Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was working efficiently and didn't notice her presence at all.

Gu Jingming coughed twice lightly, and Aunt Liu was startled.

She quickly turned around and greeted Gu Jingming enthusiastically when she saw him.

"Master, you got up really early today!"

Gu Jingming nodded and went straight to the point.

I couldn't sleep well last night because of this matter. Now, while Ye Qingtao is still asleep, I have to ask her about it.

"Did something happen at home yesterday?"

Aunt Liu had long guessed that Gu Jingming would ask, but she didn't expect him to ask so early.

She hadn't even had time to organize her words, and now she couldn't answer the question she was asked.

"Something happened."

Aunt Liu stammered and couldn't explain clearly, and Gu Jingming realized that what had happened might not be a small problem.

"What is it?"

"That's right, there was a misunderstanding between the young master and Miss Qingtao yesterday."

Aunt Liu told the story in a disjointed manner, leaving some details unclear, so Gu Jingming asked in more detail.

"Did Gu Xiuyuan wake up yesterday?"

"I woke up, but I kept saying my feet hurt."

Gu Jingming clenched his fists and his face turned gloomy.

"After Gu Xiuping said that, did he apologize to Qing Tao?"

"After the old lady reprimanded him, he was a little unhappy, but he still went to apologize."

"Later, Master Xiuyuan woke up. He realized that his brother was not dead, so he went to ask Miss Qingtao for help again."

"What was the result? Did Qing Tao forgive him?"

Gu Jingming looked at the small bundle that had been put away and knew that there was definitely no forgiveness.

But before getting a definite answer, he still had expectations in his heart.

Aunt Liu shook her head. "Miss Qingtao might be hurt. She is not willing to care about the young masters in the family now."

Gu Jingming nodded to show that he understood, "I will go talk to Xiuping."

The children had not woken up yet at this time, so Gu Jingming sat on the sofa downstairs for a while.

After an hour, he couldn't wait any longer and went upstairs and opened Gu Xiuping's door.

It was already past seven in the morning, and even if the children weren't awake yet, they were on the verge of waking up.

As soon as Gu Jingming entered, Gu Xiuping opened his eyes.

“Big Brother…”

The moment Gu Xiuping saw him, he felt inexplicably aggrieved and his eyes immediately turned red.

Gu Jingming sat down beside his bed with a sullen face. He did not speak immediately, but looked at Gu Xiuping's little face quietly.

"Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"

Gu Xiuping nodded and shook his head before speaking with a red face and stammering.

"No, no one bullies me."

"So you're bullying others?"

Gu Xiuping didn't expect Gu Jingming to ask this, and he was stunned for a moment. Soon he shook his head.

"So what do you mean when you say your sister-in-law killed your brother?"

Gu Xiuping didn't expect Gu Jingming to ask so directly, and was stunned for a moment.

"I, I didn't say..."

Gu Jingming's expression was too serious, and his voice was somewhat cold and hard.

Gu Xiuping blushed and refused to admit it, nor did he dare to admit it.

"Gu Xiuping, I didn't expect you to learn to lie at such a young age. Who taught you these things?"

Gu Jingming directly exposed Gu Xiuping's lie, and Gu Xiuping was shocked.

"Brother, things are not what you think, and I didn't lie."

"I asked Aunt Liu before I came here. Everyone in the family knows everything you said and did. Do you think you can hide it from me? Or will they lie to me for you?"

Gu Jingming's voice gradually became higher and higher, and Gu Xiuping was so frightened that his nerves tensed up and he became silent as a cicada.

He lowered his head and refused to speak, just sobbing quietly, and his little appearance looked particularly pitiful.

"Did you lie?"

Gu Jingming had been suppressing his temper, and if it completely exploded even he would be scared.

"I lied..."

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Gu Xiuping had no choice but to admit it while crying.

“Why lie?”

Gu Jingming continued to question, but Gu Xiuping lowered his head even lower, not even daring to look at him.

"Because, because, because I was afraid that my elder brother would scold me, and I was even more afraid that my elder brother would not like me anymore."

Gu Xiuping was so scared that he burst into tears, but he finally explained the reason clearly.

"You know lying is wrong, and you know I don't like children who lie, so why do you still do it?"

Gu Xiuping lowered his head in shame. He had just told a lie in a hurry and he didn't even know why he did that.

Gu Xiuping didn't say anything for a long time, and Gu Jingming didn't intend to let him get away with it.

"Your sister-in-law just came in, and she hasn't been with you for a long time, but she is really kind to you. Can't you see that?"

Grandma has always wanted him to get married, and she would never say such words to her brothers and hurt Qingtao. Aunt Liu has always been a decent person and never talks nonsense in front of others.

There must be a reason why Gu Xiuping suddenly spoke wildly to Ye Qingtao!
