Ch 103: I’ll Always Be On Your Side, My Wife
Shen Mingyue was unconcerned. While helping her tidy the bed, she casually asked, “Just tell me if she pushed you or not?”
Shen Mingxia froze, and after a few seconds, nodded.
“She bumped into me, and that’s why the plate slipped from my hands.”
Shen Mingyue thought, “So that’s how it is.” This Zhou Xiaofei is truly wicked. My sister just arrived. She didn’t provoke her or do anything to her, and she even helped wash dishes, yet she bullies her like this.
My words tonight were too gentle. If I hadn’t said a few words to her, she wouldn’t have understood her position.
Why does she think her adopted daughter identity is superior to hers? Although she’s carrying a fake, nobody knows. That’s the Gu family’s highly anticipated grandson, or even two.
She didn’t like to manipulate others before, but later she thought, why not use it if she has the conditions? Of course, she should maximize her profit.
“Since she did this on purpose, what’s there to be afraid of? Don’t worry, nothing will happen. My parents-in-law won’t have any opinions about this.”
Saying this, Shen Mingyue asked about her ideas.
“Mingxia, tell your older sister honestly, do you want to go to school or help out at my shop? If you want to study, I’ll send you to school directly.”
Studying provides a future. Although Shen Mingxia is not young anymore, since they have the conditions now, Shen Mingyue still hopes she can receive an education.
However, she still needs to ask for her opinion on this matter.
Shen Mingxia thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“Sister, I don’t want to study. I didn’t even finish middle school. If I go to school now, I’ll have to start from middle school. I’m already eighteen this year. By the time I finish high school, how old will I be? Besides, I’m not cut out for studying. Just looking at the textbooks gives me a headache. I’ll just help out at your shop, and I can make money sooner.”
Shen Mingyue frowned slightly. “You’re still young. What you should consider is not making money; I can handle that. The most important thing for you now is your future and your life planning.”
Shen Mingxia immediately showed respect, her back straightening involuntarily.
“Sister, I really don’t want to study. I want to help out at your shop.”
Shen Mingxia also had her own thoughts. She wanted to help her sister and repay Shen Mingyue’s kindness; she couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.
After all, when she was at the Shen family, in order to have enough to eat, she had to do all kinds of work. It was truly worse than a donkey on a production team.
Now, life at the Gu family is very comfortable. She can eat delicious food and live in such a beautiful room.
The bedsheets are all pink and tender. Just now, she tried them, and the mattress seemed to be made of cotton. It was incredibly comfortable to lie on.
“Alright, then I’ll take you there tomorrow. It’s my shop; you don’t have to be too reserved. Just do whatever you want; no one can give you a hard time.”
Although Shen Mingyue also hoped her sister would succeed, she had the ability to make sure her sister lived comfortably.
To put it bluntly, if she were a multimillionaire, she would wish everyone around her to just relax and have endless money to spend.
“Thank you, Second Older Sister. Don’t worry; I will work hard once I get there.”
Shen Mingyue saw that the bed was almost done, and pulled her sister to her own room.
Gu Yuanzhou had already returned to his room at this time, changed into a tank top and shorts, and was reading.
This man never seemed tired. Shen Mingyue rarely saw him simply resting during his rest time.
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t expect Shen Mingyue to bring his sister in. Because of her not-so-formal clothing, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still smiled and greeted Shen Mingxia.
Shen Mingxia naturally respected her brother-in-law, standing as straight as a soldier.
Shen Mingyue found it amusing and couldn’t help but smile.
“We’re about the same size. Pick a few clothes from my closet to wear. When you go to the shop tomorrow, you can take whatever you like.”
Shen Mingxia’s clothes still have patches. It’s late now, and it’s not convenient to go out. Tomorrow, she can’t wear these clothes to the clothing store. Otherwise, as soon as she leaves the courtyard, she’ll be pointed at and gossiped about again.
Shen Mingxia understood the rules and chose a plain dress.
Shen Mingyue gave her two more.
“It’s not early. Wash up and go to bed early. Sister will take you there tomorrow morning.”
Shen Mingxia nodded, took her clothes, and left, carefully closing the bedroom door for them.
Seeing her leave, Gu Yuanzhou spoke, “Next time your sister comes over, tell me in advance. What do I look like dressed like this?”
Gu Yuanzhou is very strict about rules. When they first got married, he even felt embarrassed changing clothes.
Shen Mingyue stifled her laughter and teased him, “You weren’t naked, what’s inappropriate about it?”
Gu Yuanzhou noticed the mischievous look in her eyes, sighed, and patted the space beside him.
“Come here, let’s read. Let me tell you again, Prince William will be here in about three days. You don’t have much time left.”
The smile on Shen Mingyue’s face widened. She sat beside Gu Yuanzhou. She didn’t rush to read but talked about something else.
“Was my attitude too strong in the living room just now? Thinking about it now, it seems a little inappropriate.”
This wasn’t her true feeling; she thought she spoke well, but she was afraid of offending Gu Yuanzhou.
She wouldn’t care if others disliked her, but Gu Yuanzhou was different. In this family, only Gu Yuanzhou genuinely cared about her.
Gu Yuanzhou put down his book and looked at her. Under the light, his features were even more striking.
Shen Mingyue liked his hair down; it added a lazy and casual air, making him seem less unapproachable than usual.
“What’s inappropriate? You’re right; you should make your attitude clear.”
Gu Yuanzhou supported Shen Mingyue’s actions. When you need to be firm, be firm. If you always give in, others will only think you are weak.
No one will sympathize with you because you are weak; they will only fear you because you are strong.
He also knew what kind of person Zhou Xiaofei was. She always used petty tricks.
“Then I’ll feel relieved. After all, they are your parents. I was worried that my words were too strong and would make you unhappy.”
Gu Yuanzhou reached out and adjusted the collar of her nightgown.
“Don’t overthink it. My parents are important, and you’re important too. We’re a couple. As long as you don’t make any fundamental mistakes, I’ll always stand by you.”
Shen Mingyue was close to tears. This man, he’s becoming more and more charming.
At this rate, how will she escape? She’s completely controlled by this man. In the future, she might not even have a place to cry if she leaves the Gu family.
But when she suddenly thought about the fundamental issues Gu Yuanzhou mentioned, her heart lifted again.
The child in her belly isn’t Gu Hongbin’s. This should be a fundamental mistake, right? If Gu Yuanzhou knew the truth, would he still treat her like this?
Thinking about this problem, Shen Mingyue felt terrible.
