Free Web NovelChapter 213: Chapter 213: Girl
Whatever decision Gu Baijiang makes, even if others have opinions, they can only endure it.
Didn’t you see that he seated three people together, constantly chatting? This side of the father-in-law was never seen by them; even during the New Year and holidays, he never talks this much with the mother-in-law.
"An Tong, bring a cup of hot water to Mrs. Xu and the two aunts," Gu Baijiang felt thirsty as he reached a joyful moment, but still remembered to take care of the ladies first.
Gu Antong’s face turned grim upon hearing this; she was given three elders to serve.
Even that made Xu Yulan uneasy; the old man liked to host his old flame, treating it as an act of charity, but it wasn’t necessary to drag everyone into this mess.
What sort of aunt is this? If so, do we need to change titles among us elders as well?
Especially those three women; upon hearing this address, they just sat there without moving. Is this considered consent?
No, where did they get this face from?
Gu An Tong did not immediately agree but looked towards Liu Yun.
"An Tong, why don’t you quickly serve water to Lady Fan and Miss Fan? It’s all my fault for not fulfilling my duties as the senior daughter-in-law, I forgot to entertain our distinguished guests."
Gu An Tong’s eyes brightened and she immediately said submissively, "Got it, Mom."
She took a water flask from the side and found three bowls.
Whether by accident or on purpose, the three bowls still had scraps of leftover meal from the last dining.
Placing the bowls in front of them, she then poured a small half-bowl for each. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to pour more, but since the carriage was swaying, the spill made it troublesome for them, "Lady Fan, Miss Fan, please have some water."
Gu Baijiang’s face immediately dropped upon being subtly opposed like this, but at least he distinguished inside from outside and didn’t say more, tacitly accepting it.
On the other hand, Xu Shuanghong and her daughters had stiff expressions for a moment, and felt wary of the Gu family’s eldest daughter-in-law.
"You’re indeed a pretty girl, those eyes look just like Gu Baijiang’s, you’ll have blessings later," Xu Shuanghong said, either truly complimenting or deliberately disgusted Liu Yun and her daughters, while taking Gu Antong’s hand with affection.
Gu Antong’s arm stiffened at the thought of her grandfather’s expression, but she politely replied, "Thank you Lady Fan for your compliments, I will definitely honor my grandfather in the future."
"It’s just that your two aunts are naturally shy," Shuanghong didn’t want to reduce a generation, smiling extra warmly, "we’ll rely on you to guide them in the future, if they were half as sensible as you, I’d be happy."
"Lady Fan, the two Miss Fan are quite nice, and I’m about the same age as them, we’ll help each other as sisters."
Xu Shuanghong didn’t expect the little girl to be quite clever, it appears a mother raises daughters like herself, highly defensive.
Having said that, she certainly can’t demand more, after all, she just arrived, and they’ll take their time to get acquainted.
Thinking this, she laughed heartily, "You’re all good girls, you’ll all be fine in the future."
Liu Yun secretly gave her daughter an approving look, damn this old woman dared to dig traps for her daughter, truly a malicious visitor.
Gu Baijiang’s eyes flickered slightly but he didn’t say anything, instead, he watched all this with a smile.
Soon the group knew that the pitiable mother and daughters had sought refuge with the Gu family.
Following the Gu family, Chen Dafu clicked his tongue, truly the Gu man is not old in heart, doesn’t consider his current status, yet knows how to indulge.
Whether they are wildflowers or tyrant flowers, following the Gu family ensures daily drama.
"These three women seem hostile, what is Gu thinking?" Mrs. Chen signaled a warning gaze to her descendants, preferring her offspring to be single than bringing such people home.
"What else? It’s either he’s attracted to sentiment or has another motive." Chen Dafu replied casually, guessing Gu Baijiang’s intentions himself.
Regarding lust, perhaps not, inside this might be unknown to him.
But using beauty schemes on a disfigured old man, who thought of this bad trick?
Following the team, Ming Peifeng also got the news, immediately summoned his men to report the situation.
The matter needs masters to investigate, if indeed there’s ulterior motive, it’s likely among those few, curious who devised this clever plan.
Yet the foolish scheme, full of loopholes, unexpectedly proved effective.
The carts stopped for rest, and people around the Gu family saw the astonishing scene. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Always with a cold face, hiding in the cart, Gu Baijiang sat there conversing fluently with Xu Shuanghong.
His second son nearly glued his eyes to those two young women.
Xu Yulan heavily threw the firewood before them, "Husband, with so many more people now, the firewood today is surely not enough, go find more."
"Previously you said we don’t support idlers, turns out we could sustain women."
Xu Yulan grew increasingly annoyed, wasn’t she a woman?
Those two little minxes, apart from being young, what did they have more than her?
This damn Gu Kaichen, can’t he learn well from his brother? Didn’t see his big brother never looking at those three women passing back and forth, if accidentally glanced, it was with disdain.
Really want to gouge out Gu Kaichen’s eyes and smash them onto those two women, let him look all he wants.
Gu Kaichen had some sense of shame; he probably felt embarrassed before beauties, glared fiercely at Xu Yulan, then turned to gather firewood.
"The second young madam is right," Xu Shuanghong immediately rose nervously, pulling her daughters along, "not sure what chores need doing. The second young madam, please give orders."
"Don’t listen to her nonsense," Gu Baijiang pulled them back beside him, "you’re the elders, there’s no reason for you to work.
Mei Lin and Mei Bao, don’t be reserved either, let An Tong guide you, once you get familiar, it’ll be fine."
Liu Yun nearly ground her teeth listening, but quickly her eyes rolled and she halted her actions, "Father, I also think let these two girls accompany An Tong, lately my Tong Er’s hands have become rough, still your child is dear to you."
Gu Baijiang didn’t seem to catch Liu Yun’s positioning for the two girls but nodded thoughtfully, "Liu Family’s opinion makes sense, let these two follow An Tong thereafter."
Liu Yun was overjoyed hearing this, her daughter was precious, how could she lack servants around.
Xu Shuanghong’s face changed but couldn’t retort anything.
Only laughed, "You two girls better thank your sister-in-law properly, that she’s willing to lift you up..."
