1625 You Should Call Me Sister-In-Law

Old Madam Gu’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy. This damned old man really knew how to play! He was finding a mistress for his grandson?

Xi Xi was still here, yet he still had the cheek to say such things. Did he think that no one would object to his words? She wanted to see who had the final say in this family!

Old Madam Gu snorted and did not flare up. After everyone sat down and the dishes were served, Old Master Gu said, “I announce that Wenxian”

Old Madam Gu exploded. “Gu Chen! I don’t agree!”

“Are you done fooling around?!” Old Master Gu was also furious.

Seeing this, He Wenxian pretended to be anxious and said, “Grandma Gu, did you misunderstand”

Old Madam Gu had never liked He Wenxian. She always felt that this young lady was too scheming. She pretended to be obedient in front of her elders and played tricks behind their backs. However, that idiot of her husband still thought that He Wenxian was kind-hearted, gentle, and polite. He even wanted to marry her to Gu Zheng. He was really daydreaming!

He Wenxian’s eyes were filled with tears. “Uncle Gu, please explain things. We can’t let Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu quarrel because of me. I I’d better go!”

“Wenxian, you’re not allowed to leave!” Old Master Gu stood up, his face ashen. “Ya’er, how did you become like this? Why are you making things difficult for Wenxian? Did someone badmouth her in front of you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his sharp gaze landed on Qiao Xi as he said angrily, “Some people should understand their identities. They shouldn’t always gossip in front of the old madam!”

“Bullsh*t! It has nothing to do with anyone else. I just don’t like He Wenxian. In the past, she kept saying that she’s Ah Zheng’s childhood sweetheart. Now that Ah Zheng is already married, she’s still”

“You’ve misunderstood. I said that Wenxian is now a member of the Gu family. I want to acknowledge her as my god-granddaughter!” Old Master Gu interrupted Old Madam Gu unhappily.

Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and rubbed it gently. He could not help but sneer.

“God-granddaughter?” Old Madam Gu’s eyes were filled with disdain.

He Wenxian immediately explained, “Grandma Gu, it’s my fault. I didn’t make myself clear. Grandpa Gu wants to acknowledge me as his god-granddaughter, so he invited everyone over for dinner today. I didn’t expect”

Her eyes were slightly red as she glanced at Qiao Xi helplessly, then she bit her lip and looked away.

“Ah Zheng and I are childhood playmates. I did say that I wanted to marry Ah Zheng, but that was just a joke I made as a child. It’s been so many years. Ah Zheng is already married. Why would I ruin his marriage? Grandma Gu, you’ve really misunderstood.”

“Heh, is that so?” Old Madam Gu snorted. He Wenxian specially glanced at Xi Xi. Did she think that she did not understand? She was just telling the others that the reason the old madam misunderstood was that Xi Xi was sowing discord between them.

He Wenxian lowered her eyes and revealed a proud expression.

Qiao Xi pinched Gu Zheng under the table and said with a smile, “Grandpa wants to acknowledge Miss He as his god-granddaughter. That’s a good thing. I misunderstood. I’m sorry!”

Everyone was surprised. They did not expect Qiao Xi to apologize so readily. Old Master Gu’s words of scolding were instantly stuck in his throat.

“At least you’re sensible! Wenxian will be a member of the Gu family in the future. I can’t let her suffer!”

Old Madam Gu frowned unhappily, while Qiao Xi smiled in embarrassment. “Miss He, I’m really sorry. I misunderstood you because I care too much about Ah Zheng. After all, you’re so outstanding and grew up with Gu Zheng. I’ll definitely overthink things!”

Gu Zheng touched the spot where he was pinched just now, his eyes filled with a doting smile. He chuckled and said, “There’s no need to misunderstand. I only love you. It’s impossible for me to like another woman.”

Qiao Xi instantly became shy and lightly punched Gu Zheng’s shoulder with her small fist. “Oh! You’re so annoying! I’m so shy!”

Gu Yao: “”

He almost spat out a mouthful of tea, then continued to watch Qiao Xi’s performance.

The corners of He Wenxian’s mouth twitched. Qiao Xi continued, “Miss He, you’re magnanimous and won’t bicker with me, right? From today onward, you’re Ah Zheng’s younger sister. I definitely won’t think too much about it. After all, you’re siblings. Even if you really want to be together, Grandpa Gu won’t allow it, right?”

Old Master Gu choked.

He Wenxian’s eyes instantly turned vicious, but she pretended to be gentle. “Yes, Xi Xi, don’t misunderstand. I I’m just Ah Zheng’s younger sister.”

“Miss He, you should call me ‘Sister-in-law’, right?” Qiao Xi looked at her with a smile.

Old Madam Gu and Gu Yao almost laughed out loud.
