Chapter 794: 532 Each with Their Own Thoughts_2
She had actually harbored feelings for another person in her heart all along, a fool.
But this matter was a secret, a secret forever unknown to others.
“I rember you really liked him.” Xu Xuezi furrowed her brows in confusion.
“Madam, n Chao and I grew up together from childhood and were both chosen by Mr. Xu to be brought back to the Xu Family. In my heart, he’s like my big brother, and I am like his little sister. If he truely had feelings for , or if I truely had feelings for him, we wouldn’t need the madam’s matchmaking; we would already be together, wouldn’t we, Madam?” Xu Xuezi had been paralyzed in bed for over half a year. If she and n Chao really wanted to start sothing, they wouldn’t have waited until now, and it certainly wouldn’t require Xu Xuezi to make it explicit.
To put it bluntly, if she really wanted to start sothing with n Chao, Xu Xuezi wouldn’t be sitting here discussing this matter; her expression should be one of gritting teeth.
“Don’t you like n Chao?” Xu Xuezi’s face crumpled, was it not the case?
“My liking for n Chao is like that of a little sister for her elder brother. n Chao feels the sa about ; we are not true siblings but might as well be. Let put it this way, in this lifeti I may remain behind him without marrying anyone because of n Chao, but I will never marry him, and neither will he marry .”
During her youth, she thought her feelings for n Chao were of romantic love until she t that fool and realized her feelings for n Chao were rely sisterly affection, akin to a sister’s love for her brother, certainly not romantic love.
For n Chao, she was willing to stay by his side all her life, but she would neither marry n Chao nor be with him romantically.
“I thought you both loved each other, but now it seems that is not the case at all. It seems my plan to bring you closer to n Chao and arrange for you two is not going to work.” Previously, she believed n Chao and Yin Li must like each other, having been married to n Chao for so long, besides the honeymoon phase when n Chao had shared a bed with her, they had been living separately ever since sothing happened.
She had also doubted, wondered if n Chao had secretly been with Yin Li.
But after inquiring around, she found nothing, which is why she had thought of discussing this issue with Yin Li today, to arrange her to be with n Chao.
The outco of the conversation had surprised her.
Neither of them were interested, which was a bit of a problem.
Finding a woman from outside to approach n Chao was not easy at the mont and they might not share her intentions either.
“If we wanted to be together, we wouldn’t have hidden it from you, especially considering your current condition, even if you wanted to interfere, you couldn’t, could you?”
“That is true.” Xu Xuezi’s voice was low.
Xu Xuezi went back to her room, constantly thinking about one thing.
What type of woman did n Chao like?
Not like Yin Li, not like her, so what kind would it be?
With her current condition, n Chao definitely wouldn’t be interested in her, let alone consider having children with her.
…
“n Chao’s Martial Arts Instructor has been by his side the longest and has recently traveled around the world.” Gu Yecheng was indeed aware of n Chao’s instructor, who had an evasive presence and had yet to truly face off against him.
“In that case, this Mr. Wu seems to be the problem.” The Elder Gu, listening to his grandson’s words, could almost confirm one thing.
“This Mr. Wu’s suspicion is indeed significant, but currently, besides knowing that he is n Chao’s instructor and a Martial Arts Instructor, we know nothing else about him.” That was the troubling part: the enemy was hidden while they were exposed.
“It seems likely that back when n Chao was chosen to return to the Xu Family, Mr. Wu might have manipulated events. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Xu’s recent illness must also relate to this person.” Mr. Xu wouldn’t have fallen ill without reason; soone must have spoken to him.
“In that case, Mr. Wu must definitely be in the Imperial Capital and must have returned to the Xu Family to speak to Mr. Xu, leading to Mr. Xu’s collapse due to anger.” Thinking this, Gu Yecheng stood up: “Yes, he must be in the Imperial Capital.”
“Since he is n Chao’s instructor, n Chao must know his whereabouts; perhaps we can find sothing out from n Chao.”
…
n Chao found the spot Gu Yecheng had ntioned and saw Gu Yecheng leisurely sipping tea. He sneered and approached, “Young Master Gu, what kind of wind blew today that brought you to invite for tea?”
“It’s not just ; my wife and I wanted to invite you.” Xiaofeng ca out of the restroom and heard n Chao’s words, joining in.
n Chao had not expected Xiaofeng to be there too; so the couple must be up to sothing.
He sat down calmly, “Is there sothing up?”
“Nothing major, but even if as just ordinary friends, having a al together from ti to ti is pretty normal, right?” Xiaofeng chuckled lightly.
“If it were soone else inviting to a al, I’d find it normal, but with you two, I find it unusual. Better to speak up if you have sothing to say. I dislike beating around the bush; talking business straight is always the best way, don’t you think?” The couple was clearly united for no good reason.
“Family Head n always speaks his mind.” Gu Yecheng served Xiaofeng a bowl of soup and even gently blew on it before placing it in front of Xiaofeng.
Watching all this, n Chao suddenly found it hard to watch.
These two must have co here in front of him just to show off their love.
He quietly picked up a glass of water from beside him, took a sip, and pretended he hadn’t seen anything.
“It’s been a long ti since I’ve seen your boy and girl twins, to be honest, I really like them.” Especially Xiaobao, who was absolutely adorable, enough to lt his heart.
“You’re welco to visit them anyti,” Xiaofeng smiled lightly, “Speaking of which, since you like children so much, have you ever thought about having your own?”
“You sure ask about a lot,” n Chao glared coldly at Xiaofeng, “Your wife is from the seaside, right?”
The last sentence was, of course, directed at Gu Yecheng.
Gu Yecheng looked up, “My wife rarely fusses over others’ marital affairs, you should feel honored.”
n Chao: “….”
“Let’s put it this way, I have no plans for that right now.” n Chao didn’t want to wast words on that topic, “You asked to co here, it must be about my grandfather’s illness, right? Honestly, I have no idea how he got sick.”
Xu Old Man has been in good health, so this illness caught him by surprise too.
“Then let change my question, has anyone visited the Xu Family recently?”
“Why, do we have to report to you who has visited or moved around the Xu Family? Your Gu Family might be more influential than the Xu Family, but you don’t have control over us.”
The Xu Family is the Xu Family, the Gu Family is the Gu Family.
“n Chao, he’s used to interrogating suspects after dealing with so many cases,” Xiaofeng giggled, “Let’s put it this way, our Dabao has also been around for more than a week, and it’s ti to start his martial arts enlightennt. We thought about finding a coach for Dabao, and we heard that your forr coach is excellent. Could you introduce him to us?”
Listening to Xiaofeng’s words, n Chao snorted coldly. Asking for a coach was just a pretense; they really wanted to get information about the master.
“The master is old now and will not take disciples anymore, especially not young disciples. You should look for soone else.”
“So, does he live with the Xu Family now?” Gu Yecheng asked again.
“Of course not, he has his own place, and he likes peace and quiet. He’s sowhat a wanderer, and even I find it very difficult to locate him. If you really want to find him, you’ll have to do it yourself, because I don’t know where the master is living now either.”
Xiaofeng and Gu Yecheng exchanged a look, exchanging a ssage through their eyes, n Chao must know the whereabouts but isn’t divulging.
“We were just asking.” Xiaofeng smiled faintly, “This place’s fish is quite good; you should try it too.”
