Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
They not only couldn’t take revenge, but also had to worry about being retaliated against by Gu Qingluan.
Why was Gu Qingluan so fortunate?
She even managed to have a close bond with soone from the Island of No Return!
The most desperate one was Gu Jinyue.
She had been waiting for this day for so long, thinking that she could make Gu Qingluan kneel down and beg for rcy. But who knew that what she got was the news of Gu Qingluan becoming a Saint.
Gu Qingluan must be mocking her for her futile efforts, right?
“Congratulations, Qingluan!” Gu Zhicheng suddenly smiled.
Everyone looked at him.
Gu Qingluan rubbed her arm, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body. “In front of , the head of the Gu family doesn’t need to be so hypocritical. That smile is chilling.”
Gu Zhicheng’s smile froze instantly as if the river water had turned to ice and the mountain wind had co to a sudden stop.
He clenched his muscles a few tis, forcibly suppressing the anger rising to his throat, and his smile faded slightly, but his attitude remained enthusiastic. “Luan’er, you did a great job. Now our Gu family has two Saints. No family in Chengyuan can surpass us! Qingluan, why don’t you move back to the Gu family? We have double happiness, and we must celebrate!”
She was stunned by being called “Luan’er”.
“Whether to celebrate or not is up to you, but as for moving back to the Gu family… forget it, I’m already used to living in the Jun residence,” Gu Qingluan said.
Gu Zhicheng frowned, then nodded. “You can stay wherever you’re comfortable, but rember to co back often.”
“Maybe so people won’t welco ,” Gu Qingluan hinted, glancing at the other Gu family mbers.
Gu Zhicheng looked at Wang Shi and the others.
They cursed Gu Qingluan in their hearts but didn’t dare to show any displeasure on the surface.
Wang Shi put on a fake smile and said, “Qingluan, what are you talking about? You are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. How could we not welco you back?”
“Yeah, big sister, you must co back to see us often,” Gu Qin’er said with a sincere expression.
Gu Zhicheng and Gu Jinyue followed suit.
Only Gu Jinyue and Gu Si’er, the two youngest ones, couldn’t maintain their composure and couldn’t bring themselves to please Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan smiled as she looked at the two.
Her eyes were playful like she was watching monkeys.
Gu Zhicheng imdiately scolded, “You two better welco your elder sister!”
Gu Jinyue felt extrely annoyed.
But what choice did she have when she was inferior to Gu Qingluan? In the eyes of their uncle, who valued the family’s interests above all else, what did her feelings matter?
Reluctantly, Gu Jinyue said, “Welco back, big sister.”
Gu Si’er was the only one left. She couldn’t resist any longer and said, “Welco.”
“This is great! A family should be harmonious,” Gu Zhicheng laughed heartily as if he hadn’t noticed the undercurrents in the hall. He turned his head and looked at Gu Qingluan with a pair of loving eyes. “Qingluan, you haven’t co ho for a long ti. Why not stay here today and catch up with everyone in the family? If you don’t want to move back, it’s alright, just co back and stay for a few days. Is that okay?”
“I’m used to my own room, and I can’t sleep well here. It’s more comfortable for to go back to my place.” Gu Qingluan knew what Gu Zhicheng was thinking and had no intention of cooperating.
If this had happened not long ago, Gu Zhicheng would have been furious at being rejected.
But now, apart from sighing in regret, he didn’t bla Gu Qingluan.
“Alright then, if you’re not staying, how about having a simple al?” Gu Zhicheng suggested.
Gu Qingluan looked at the other Gu family mbers.
One by one, their faces displayed a range of emotions, becoming more vividly expressive.
She nodded playfully in response to Gu Zhicheng’s invitation.
Sure enough, as soon as she agreed, the other people’s expressions beca even more unpleasant..
