Li Ying rushed to the front yard angrily with her little daughter, her steps were as fast as the wind.
Gu Qi didn't stop him, nor did he say anything. He just held his son's hand with a sullen face.
Chen Xingling glanced at him secretly, knowing that this was a sign of his anger, and also knowing that he was deliberately holding back for the time being, wanting to see with his own eyes to what extent the nanny and his sister could treat their daughter-in-law.
She was not wrong, Gu Qi really thought so.
The old mother fell ill one moment and then she was full of energy to "teach" her daughter-in-law a lesson. Her tone and attitude were even colder than the north wind outside.
As early as when he married Chen Xingling, his old mother had been complaining about her, finding this and that flaws in her. No matter what she did, she could not please her mother.
He was very upset at the time, but he couldn't do anything about his mother. After all, she was his biological mother, and his grandmother was no longer around, so he couldn't be too stubborn with her.
Fortunately, Chen Xingling is of a gentle character, well-behaved, filial, and patient. Otherwise, there would be no peace at home every day.
Thinking that his old mother would have to go to the capital sooner or later, and because her two younger sisters in her hometown still needed her care, he told Chen Xingling to be patient for a while and try not to confront his mother face to face.
Later, Chen Xingling became pregnant and he had to study abroad. He originally planned to settle her in her mother's home, but her mother changed her previous attitude of disdain and arrogance, saying that she had already married her daughter-in-law, so how could she let her daughter-in-law go to her mother's home to give birth.
Not only that, Li Ying also solemnly promised him that she would take good care of them and their son, so he could study abroad without worry.
Gu Qi thought that his mother was finally willing to accept this daughter-in-law for the sake of her grandson, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded Chen Xingling to accompany his mother to the capital, while he himself hurriedly boarded a boat to go abroad.
It was not easy to travel across the ocean, and I had no way of contacting my family for more than two years.
Occasionally, one or two letters or telegrams would be sent from home through the factory director, but they were all just to report that my wife was safe. There was no chance to know how she was doing back home.
It was not until he sent a telegram home that he learned that Chen Xingling had given birth to a big fat son, who was almost two years old. He wanted to take them to Yucheng together, but his mother repeatedly stopped him, saying that she was in poor health and that the family needed to be left alone to take care of them.
It was delayed again and again, and another year passed in a flash.
I thought that after living together for a long time, the family should have accepted her as a foreign daughter-in-law.
But in the past two days he discovered again and again that this was not the case!
Gu Qi watched his biological mother and sister rummaging through the drawers in the room, even taking out Chen Xingling's clothes and shaking them around. The whole room was in a mess, and he was so angry that his head was buzzing.
"Enough!" he shouted suddenly.
Li Ying and Gu Miao were startled and looked up at Gu Qi at the same time.
"Archie, she must have hidden something. You saw and smelled it just now!"
“Brother…”
Gu Qi's face was cold: "Shut up. Stop. Get out."
When Gu Miao saw her eldest brother's cold eyes that looked like he wanted to kill her, her legs and feet instantly went limp and trembled. She was so scared that she jumped out of the door like a frightened kitten and disappeared in a flash.
Li Ying shrank his head, still feeling unwilling.
"Aqi, don't underestimate her because she looks honest. She is actually very cunning. Whenever her parents sent her something, she would secretly hide it—"
"Stop talking!" Gu Qi's face turned pale, and he asked in a cold voice: "Mom, how can you treat Xing'er like this? What did you promise me before I went abroad? You said you would take good care of her and let her give birth to the baby safely. You also said that since she married me, she would be our daughter-in-law. Look - you and your sister are fat and thin, but she is skinny, with chilblains on her face and hands. You scold her for being lazy? But she has to work even when she is sick. Why didn't she even hide the things her brother sent her? You scolded her and scolded her, and all you said were insults and insults to her. Ah Miao didn't even call her 'sister-in-law', but yelled at her and glared at her. Mom, is this what you call 'taking good care of her'? Huh?"
Gu Qi rarely spoke so much, but he did it in one breath, blurting out all the words that had been pent up in his heart for the past two days.
Li Ying's face turned pale and he looked away at the ground.
"Normally... it's not like this. She was cheating on me - that's why I'm angry with her."
Gu Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and whispered: "I am the eldest son of this family, and she is my daughter-in-law. In this family, even cooking noodles in the kitchen can be considered as "cheating". For more than three years, I dare not think about how she survived in this family..."
No wonder her temperament changed.
If we don’t have a good attitude, how can we live like this!
Li Ying swallowed and glared at Chen Xingling secretly.
Chen Xingling pretended not to see it. She stood at the door holding her son, listening to Gu Qi calmly, her eyes full of love.
Wow～～!
I never thought that the innocent little dad would look so cool and majestic when he was angry!
A must!
After all, Gu Qi is a well-educated man who won't curse or roar, but he exudes a sense of oppression all over his body, and his pair of cold eyes are enough to scare people.
Chen Xingling was afraid of scaring the child, so he quickly carried little Hu to the yard to play.
Gu Qi frowned and lowered his voice: "You only know how to love your own daughter. Have you ever thought that she is also the precious daughter of someone else's family? I told you - she is the youngest daughter in the family. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law love her like a treasure, and her brothers also love her very much. I really regret not settling her in her mother's house."
"No, no... Archie, listen to me." Li Ying still wanted to defend herself.
I don't know what happened to me just now. I was obviously pretending to be sick, but I ran out to catch someone in anger, but I accidentally let my son know something he shouldn't know.
Gu Qi didn't want to listen anymore and shook his head slowly.
"From this day on, you are not allowed to embarrass Xing'er again. No matter how 'sick' you are this time, I will not believe you anymore, and I will not leave Xing'er to take care of you."
"I... I feel really dizzy!" Li Ying still didn't give up, and said anxiously: "There is no one to help with the work in the front and back yards at home, how can I take care of it by myself! Aqi, Mom is really old. I will definitely support you to work in the shipyard, but she and Xiaohuzi have to stay——"
"Impossible." Gu Qi interrupted coldly: "Ayi will be back in the city soon, and Axuan and A Miao have grown up, they can all help. Xing'er has worked here for more than three years, which is enough."
Li Ying was so anxious that she stamped her feet and started throwing a tantrum.
"You-you said you would consider it... why don't you do it now?"
Gu Qi stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and answered word by word, "Because I can't let you continue to mistreat my wife."
When Li Ying saw that her eldest son dared to defend Chen Xingling, her anger quickly overwhelmed her fear.
"Don't listen to her nonsense! She is two-faced, don't believe her words. Aqi, what's so good about her? If you really want to bring her to Yucheng, you might as well take Tiantian with you. She has a high degree, is good-looking, and can take care of you--"
"Stop talking." Gu Qi interrupted again: "Don't mention Qin Tiantian to me. Who is she? Why would I bring her to Yucheng? Xing'er is my wife. Why would I bring a woman I don't know with instead of my own wife?"
Li Ying was so anxious that tears fell down her face.
"Archie, why are you so stupid? What's so good about that country fisherwoman? If you don't take this opportunity to dump her - you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
