Ch 9: Great! The Troublesome Adopted Daughter Of The Gu Family Is Back
“Who else could it be? It’s the wife my older brother married after he passed. You know about my older brother, right? After my parents found her, his dying wish was for my brother to marry his wife. It’s so absurd; no normal person would take it seriously. But strangely, everyone agreed. Even more outrageous is that they’ve already sent out wedding invitations and prepared things for the wedding day; the wedding is tomorrow. Sister Xiaofei, I really can’t stand it. Who is my second brother? To actually marry such a woman.”
Gu Sisi spoke, her face full of resentment, as if she had found a confidante, continuously pouring out her bitterness.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xiaofei’s face turned pale. Who is Gu Yuanzhou? He was the heartthrob of all the female comrades in the entire courtyard. Such a man of integrity and virtue, yet he ended up as a victim of feudal superstition. Anyone hearing this would find it hard to accept.
“So everyone in the family agreed? Even Grandfather agreed?”
Zhou Xiaofei’s voice trembled involuntarily, still clinging to a shred of hope in her heart.
“You wouldn’t believe it, that woman is pregnant with twins, and both are boys. Grandfather learned he’s about to have a great-grandson, and he’s been incredibly nice to her, he didn’t oppose it at all.”
Hearing Gu Sisi complain, Zhou Xiaofei’s heart sank. Annoyed and upset, she comforted Gu Sisi a few words before hanging up the phone.
If the wedding were tomorrow, her family should have notified her, but if it weren’t for Gu Sisi’s call, she wouldn’t have known that Gu Yuanzhou was getting married.
Sure enough, an adopted child is an adopted child; they’re not truly Gu family’s own.
Zhou Xiaofei chuckled wryly, sitting on the chair for a long time. Soon, Father Gu’s call came.
“Xiaofei, your second brother is getting married. Dad knows you won’t be able to come back these two days, so just decide based on your situation. If you can take leave, then come back to attend the wedding. If it’s inconvenient, it’s fine too.”
Zhou Xiaofei received Father Gu’s call and almost immediately responded.
“Second Brother’s wedding, how can I not go back? I’ll ask for leave from my superiors; I should be home this afternoon. I can also help out then.”
Father Gu’s voice held a hint of approval.
“That’s good. You child, no matter when, you’re always the most sensible. We’ll wait for you.”
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Zhou Xiaofei couldn’t stay a minute longer. She asked her supervisor for leave. She’s a teacher; this trip was to attend a meeting with the principal. She wasn’t a crucial member, so taking leave wasn’t a problem.
The leader, hearing that it was her second brother’s wedding, didn’t object.
After all, it was a serious matter; accommodations should be made.
After her leave was approved, Zhou Xiaofei immediately boarded the return train.
Shen Mingyue didn’t know that Gu Sisi had gone to tattle, and at this moment, she was helping everyone arrange the rooms.
After all, it was a wedding; things like the headboard needed auspicious characters, and the bedding had to be changed to bright red.
The couple’s wedding room was originally Gu Yuanzhou’s room, but this room was deliberately cleaned by Tian Shufang and her husband, and the decor was very feminine. Nannan liked this room.
So Gu Yuanzhou directly chose this room as the wedding chamber.
Shen Mingyue saw everything and felt a whirlwind of emotions in her heart.
Gu Yuanzhou was too good to her, outrageously good, making her feel unreal.
Where in this world is there such a thing as unwarranted kindness? Even if she was Gu Hongbin’s wife, Gu Yuanzhou didn’t need to go this far.
Shen Mingyue’s heart was filled with unease, and she started to engage in conspiracy theories.
But Nannan really liked Gu Yuanzhou, and now she even dared to clamor to be held.
Since Shen Mingyue and Gu Yuanzhou were getting married, Nannan was directly adopted by Gu Yuanzhou. Gu Jianjun and his wife wanted her to directly call Gu Yuanzhou “father” instead of “second uncle.”
Gu Yuanzhou was also very tolerant of Nannan, rarely showing kindness and pleasantness.
Zhou Xiaofei returned, weary from her journey, and as soon as she entered the living room, she saw this shocking scene.
Gu Yuanzhou was holding a little girl, and a tall, unfamiliar woman stood beside him.
The woman looked at them sideways, a smile playing on her lips.
Zhou Xiaofei’s head buzzed.
This is the country bumpkin Gu Sisi mentioned? This is clearly a vixen! Wasn’t she raised in the countryside? How can her skin be so white? And her hair is so beautiful?
And what does that smile on her face mean? Is she seducing Gu Yuanzhou?
Zhou Xiaofei almost choked.
Tian Shufang and her husband, seeing Zhou Xiaofei return, quickly greeted her with smiles.
“Xiaofei, you’re back? Did you eat? Are you hungry? Mom will cook you a bowl of noodles.”
Although Zhou Xiaofei was their adopted child, the couple always treated her equally. After all, Father Zhou had been kind to their family, and they treated Xiaofei as their biological daughter.
They had raised her since she was twelve years old.
So Tian Shufang showed concern upon seeing her return.
Shen Mingyue heard the commotion and looked over instinctively.
Zhou Xiaofei finally saw Shen Mingyue’s face clearly. Although she could guess the woman’s good looks from her side profile, her full face was even more stunning.
At this time, a classic beauty was all the rage. Girls with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a well-proportioned figure were very popular among male comrades.
Shen Mingyue was different. Her eyebrows were gently curved, beautifully shaped. Even her eyes weren’t large; they were long and narrow, with double eyelids that went up at the ends. Even her mouth had a lip peak. The combination was extremely alluring, even without expression.
This kind of beauty was different from the commonly accepted beauty at the moment, but you couldn’t deny her beauty.
Because once someone’s beauty reaches the extreme, it’s indisputable.
Looking at this face, Zhou Xiaofei forgot to answer Tian Shufang, her eyes practically sparking.
Shen Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. So this girl was the Gu family’s adopted daughter. Judging by her expression, she didn’t seem to be a kind person either. She sighed softly.
They say city life is good, the Gu family is rich, but the Gu family is not an easy place to get along in. A newcomer, a condescending sister-in-law, a brother-in-law who calls her a slut, and now a difficult adopted daughter. Although her parents-in-law are tolerable, life certainly won’t be smooth sailing.
Tian Shufang saw Zhou Xiaofei staring at Shen Mingyue and suddenly realized.
“Right, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mingyue; just call her Second Sister-in-law.”
The title “Second Sister-in-law” almost broke Zhou Xiaofei, but she realized everyone was watching her, so she forced a smile.
“Mom, I understand. You just asked if I wanted noodles, and I am actually a bit hungry.”
Tian Shufang didn’t think much of it and went straight to the kitchen.
Zhou Xiaofei walked towards Gu Yuanzhou.
Gu Yuanzhou saw his sister return and smiled, nodding at her.
“You’ve worked hard. You had to take leave from your business trip to return. It didn’t delay your work, did it?”
Looking at Gu Yuanzhou’s face, Zhou Xiaofei felt her heart bleeding.
