Chapter 207: Chapter 207: He’s Here! Chapter 207: Chapter 207: He’s Here! Gu Wei returned ho and naturally went straight to embrace Su ixi.
“Sweetheart, you must have had a tough ti while I was away. Did the siblings give you any trouble?” Gu Wei asked while taking off his coat.
“Of course not, they’re really well-behaved. I quite like them.” Su ixi hung his coat on the rack by the door.
“I just got back and heard from Mdm. Li at the instructor’s place that they’re gossiping about my brother, calling him a cradle snatcher and a jerk. It was really unpleasant to listen to. Could it be that Zhou Yuan is spreading rumors outside?”
Su ixi thought to herself: That’s exactly what Gu Cheng deserves.
But she didn’t want to discuss this topic with Gu Wei since one of them was brother-crazy and the other sister-crazy, and they always thought whatever their sibling did was right.
“Zhou Yuan didn’t say those things. It’s all just wild guesses from other people. Besides, your brother has indeed been unclear with that Li Zhen, which drove Zhou Yuan here. You know how people are; they’re bound to speculate when they see her arriving alone, right?”
Gu Wei replied, “Li Zhen grew up in the Gu Family from a young age. Even if she can’t be my brother’s first love, there is still so kinship there. I think Zhou Yuan is making a mountain out of a molehill and didn’t trust my brother enough. I believe my brother would definitely not ss around.”
Su ixi: “…”
Do all n think this way?
Even if he wouldn’t ss around, he shouldn’t give his wife any reason to doubt.
That evening at dinner.
With Gu Wei back ho, the Fang siblings were quite excited. Fang Xia, at that age, already knew what a handso guy looked like, so she glanced at Gu Wei with a mixture of fondness and a bit of shyness now and then.
She thought to herself that she would look for a boyfriend who was just like Gu Wei.
Fang Shuai had always liked Gu Wei, “Captain Gu, when can we go play soccer?”
“After dinner,” Gu Wei said, “but you have to finish two bowls of rice first.”
“Sure!” Fang Shuai imdiately picked up his bowl and ate quickly.
Su ixi said from the side: “Xiao Shuai, didn’t you already play soccer after school? You have howork to do tonight.”
Fang Shuai replied, “Just a little while, is that okay Aunt Su?”
“How long is ‘a little while’?”
“Half an hour.”
“Alright,” Su ixi agreed. “But only half an hour, not a minute more.”
Fang Shuai went to pick up a chicken wing, but Zhou Yuan had taken the last one.
Feeling a bit downcast, Fang Shuai no choice but to say, “Since you were the first to pick, I’ll let you have the chicken wing. A good man doesn’t fight with won.”
Gu Wei glared at Zhou Yuan, disliking how she fought over food with a child, but considering she was partly still a child herself, he held back.
Zhou Yuan noticed Gu Wei’s displeasure and said, “Soone here is not happy with . He has sothing to say even when I eat a bit more.”
Gu Wei then spoke up, “It’s not about disliking you, but you’re being immature.”
How could she tarnish soone’s reputation so casually?
Zhou Yuan turned to Su ixi with a look of grievance: “Sister Su, look at your husband. When he was injured in the UK, who was it that stayed by your side and took care of him? And now he tells I’m immature? Is his brother that much mature?”
Su ixi was exasperated.
She quickly picked up a drumstick for Fang Shuai, “Xiao Shuai, you’re going to play soccer in a bit. Eat a drumstick so you can run faster.”
See, there are two kids here. Don’t argue in front of the children, please. We’re all grown-ups.
After dinner, Gu Wei and Fang Shuai went out to play soccer, while Su ixi tutored Fang Xia with her howork.
Zhou Yuan spent so ti playing the piano.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the Military District was organizing a talent show. The sisters-in-law ntioned that one could sign up for it if they had a specialty. Zhou Yuan planned to perform if she had nothing else on her plate, wanting to make Su ixi proud.
Right at that mont, Bao Min passed by again.
Bao Min stopped to listen to the piano for a while. Not a single note was wrong; it didn’t sound like live playing.
She thought to herself: As expected, another recording. This Su ixi really likes to show off. If she can’t play, why bother with a recording, if not to make herself look good?
Since the house was full of people upstairs and downstairs, Gu Wei and Su ixi had to be quiet when they made love at night.
But Gu Wei was too robust, and the bed was of poor quality. The legs of the bed creaked with a “squeak, squeak” sound.
They got excited and didn’t care about much else.
Downstairs, Zhou Yuan was disturbed so much that she couldn’t sleep.
The next day, Su ixi made breakfast, and after Fang Xia and Fang Shuai ate, they went off to school. Zhou Yuan still hadn’t gotten up.
Gu Wei asked Su ixi, “Does she usually sleep this late?”
“Not really, it’s just that today she’s a bit later than usual.”
Gu Wei said, “You’ve really had a tough ti lately, having to take care of both the Fang siblings and Zhou Yuan.”
Su ixi was about to say it wasn’t a big deal when Zhou Yuan’s room door opened, and she happened to overhear Gu Wei.
“No wonder I had nightmares, it turns out soone finds botherso. I ca here to rely on Sister Su, not you.”
Gu Wei was at a loss for words briefly.
He had only ant that Su ixi was having a hard ti, not that Zhou Yuan was a trouble.
“What, do you think I’m here to rely on you? Don’t think that just because the house was allotted to you, Sister Su doesn’t have a stake in it.”
Gu Wei, “…”
It seed that Zhou Yuan was being sowhat unreasonable.
Zhou Yuan didn’t pay attention to Gu Wei and noticed there was still so breakfast left on the table, so she helped herself.
Su ixi and Gu Wei went out for a walk.
They chatted as they walked along.
Gu Wei said, “Zhou Yuan seems to be full of resentnt toward my brother, and it feels like it’s all been redirected at .”
Su ixi said, “But I feel like you’ve got a problem with Zhou Yuan too, just because she bad-mouthed your brother. Your brother really did do sothing wrong.”
“Isn’t there a saying about not airing one’s dirty laundry in public?”
“Well, it’s out now, does that an we should keep quiet about being wronged?” Su ixi began to feel dissatisfied with Gu Wei.
Seeing Su ixi’s attitude, Gu Wei couldn’t help but give in, “Alright then, I’ll leave her alone. My brother brought it on himself.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Cheng’s call ca through.
“Brother,” Gu Wei answered the phone.
“Is Yuanyuan there with you?” Gu Cheng asked.
“Yeah, she is.”
“How has she been these past few days?”
Gu Wei was about to respond when he saw Zhou Yuan across from the soccer field.
She was surrounded by Mrs. Feng, Sister Hong, and a group of won.
Gu Wei covered the phone and asked Su ixi, “What are they doing?”
Su ixi replied, “Although Yuanyuan has only been here for a few days, she’s already attracted a group of ‘mom’ fans. They take her out every day to clear her mind and give her advice.”
Gu Wei couldn’t help but break out in a sweat.
He picked up the phone again and said to Gu Cheng, “Brother, if you have the ti, co and take Zhou Yuan back. Though, she may not agree to go with you.”
…
The next day, Gu Cheng arrived.
As he was checking in, the gate guard was a bit worried about Gu Wei.
First it was his wife who ca for refuge, then not long after, his sister-in-law, and now his elder brother. Had sothing happened to the Gu family? Gone bankrupt? Otherwise, why would they all co seeking refuge with Gu Wei?
Dressed smartly in a suit, Gu Cheng pulled his suitcase, walking through the Military District’s courtyard. Everyone who saw him couldn’t help but give him a few glances.
The Military District wasn’t short of handso n, but few carried the distinguished aura that Gu Cheng did.
Even Mrs. Feng and Sister Hong saw him.
“Who is that? He really looks like a businessman.”
“More like a celebrity, right?”
“No, a businessman for sure. Celebrities don’t have that kind of composed air about them, trust , I’ve seen the world,” Sister Hong said.
Everyone watched as he stopped in front of the Gu Wei’s family ho.
