Shen Ningsi stared blankly at Gu Hong's back. She was completely confused. What was wrong with this man?
How could a great general be so shameless?
She has said so much, why are you still scrambling to do these things?
“Squeak—”
Gu Hong kicked open the heavy carved wood door with a bang, and two figures outside the door rolled to the corner of Shen Ningsi like potatoes.
Gu Yun'er was held tightly in Gu Xiuwu's arms and was not injured.
Gu Xiuwu was different. He had a scratch next to his cheek.
"mother……"
Gu Xiuwu raised his eyes and stared at Shen Ningsi blankly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he shouted unwillingly, "Dad, what are you doing? Don't you know how to open the door? Do you kick the door open?"
“…”
What else did Shen Ningsi not understand? Gu Xiaowu, that brat, was eavesdropping outside with Gu Yuner!
"You brat!"
Shen Ningsi pinched his ear and took him up, "It's fine if you eavesdropped outside, but why did you bring Yun'er with you? What if you lead Yun'er, such a good child, astray!"
“Ouch!”
Gu Xiuwu shouted exaggeratedly, but in fact, Shen Ningsi didn't use much strength in his hands, and he has always been tough, so how could it hurt so much?
"Mother, don't you know what kind of temper this little girl has? If you hadn't asked her, would Yun'er have the courage to do this?"
Shen Ningsi picked up Gu Yuner who was lying on the ground and looked up at Gu Hong.
"General Gu, it's all my fault that the children weren't well-educated. Look, I've already punished them. Please don't bother with the eavesdropping incident anymore, okay?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiuwu stood beside Shen Ningsi, quietly raised his eyes and looked at Gu Hong, only to see a half-smile on the man's face.
"Shen Ningsi, do you really think I'm a fool? Can't I see that you don't even want to teach this brat a lesson?"
Gu Xiuwu wasn't as capable as his brother. Upon hearing this, he quickly turned his head and coughed lightly, "Who told you that? How do you know what mother is thinking?"
"Who told me that?" Gu Hong sneered, "If Shen Ningsi really wanted to teach you a lesson, you probably wouldn't even say a word. You just yelled so exaggeratedly, wasn't it just to pretend or what was your reason?"
Gu Hong threw the heavy mattress in his hand out the door.
Anyway, most of the people with good hearing in Gu Jiajun's group had already heard the quarrels, and he was too lazy to deal with them even if someone helped him.
"Wash all these things for me, you bastards, you guys are hiding in those corners and watching the show!"
I saw a few dark shadows flash by, and the mattress thrown in the middle of the yard was immediately taken away.
"Chen Ningsi, you don't have to treat me like an outsider. Even if I do things that don't please you, I am still their biological father. How can I punish them for eavesdropping and play tricks on them?"
Gu Hong didn't know why he couldn't control his temper this time.
You know, he had never been so angry when he heard Shen Ningsi's words that he wanted to distance himself from him.
"Chen Ningsi, I would rather you speak your mind like before, instead of pretending to achieve your own goals!"
Gu Hong snorted lightly, looking at Shen Ningsi's harmless eyes, the anger in his heart seemed to be vented on cotton.
Gu Xiuwu looked at Gu Hong's back as he left angrily and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Gu Hong must be feeling sad because he thinks you've really grown estranged from him, right?"
Gu Xiuwu has always been straightforward. "It seems that my mother told Gu Hong her true feelings some time ago. In his opinion, she doesn't treat you as an outsider. There is still a possibility for the two of you!"
Shen Ningsi couldn't help but glance sideways at Gu Xiuwu. The gloating expression on the young man's face showed no sign of subsiding.
"Xiu Wu, he's your father after all. Even if he did something wrong in the past, he's trying his best to change now. Don't be hostile to him and ignore his good qualities."
Gu Xiuwen walked in helplessly to eavesdrop on this matter. Gu Xiu, I had just colluded with him to go together.
He thought that with his young ability to eavesdrop, he would not be discovered. However, not only was he discovered, but his mother had to clean up the mess for him.
"Isn't it a good thing that Dad is sad and upset because Mom treats him like an outsider? You have to understand that we didn't accept Dad from the beginning just because he treated Mom badly. If he treated Mom well, our attitude would have changed too."
“…”
Looking at Gu Xiuwen who was patiently persuading him, Shen Ningsi asked tentatively.
"Wen'er, have you ever thought that maybe you're not unwilling to accept General Gu because he treats me badly?"
All of Gu Xiuwen's words were stuck in his throat. He was smart and of course he had guessed it a long time ago, but he really couldn't believe it.
"Hello. I know you can support yourself and live a good life on your own, but we can't ignore General Gu's abilities... With his help, you can do many things more smoothly."
It’s not that Gu Xiuwen didn’t take Gu Hong’s words to heart, but at that time he was standing on Shen Ningsi’s side and had to ignore Gu Hong’s words of persuasion.
"Mother, there will only be more and more people like Yu Xiucai in the future, not fewer. As long as Gu Hong is here, at least these people will never dare to approach you."
"Although Gu Hong has a bad temper, he's trying to change now, isn't he? I have a pretty good idea of Gu Hong's personality. He definitely doesn't do all this for the sake of face, but because he truly cares about you, that's why he lowers himself."
Shen Ningsi was not surprised by Gu Xiuwen’s words.
"I know everything. Gu Hong is indeed an excellent man."
Listening to Shen Ningsi's extremely calm voice, Gu Xiuwen just thought that Shen Ningsi doubted the truthfulness of what he said.
"Mom, even though he is my father, I will never put you in a bad life for his happiness. I think Gu Hong is a good person, and it comes from the bottom of my heart."
Shen Ningsi quickly smiled. Gu Xiuwen was sensitive and didn’t know what he was thinking about.
"Don't worry, I'm not doubting you. I just feel that living in my hometown is not suitable for me. I have no intention of living a rich life. I just want to take good care of my little piece of land. It's enough for me to eat meat every day. There are always other ways to ensure safety. I don't have to rely on Gu Hong."
Gu Hong, who was standing outside the door, tightened his fingers and turned his head to glare at Sanyazi.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Madam wants to eat meat!"
Sanyazi turned around with some frustration and ordered people to hunt game.
He finally understood that the general was soft at home but tough outside!
