Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Why should Gu Junzhu care about her?

Seeing Xie Jinfei’s embarrassment, he couldn’t help but take pleasure in his misfortune. “Second Brother, why worry about finding a wife? As men, we can’t settle when choosing our wives. Just because someone looks decent doesn’t mean they’re the one. Inner beauty is what truly matters, don’t you think, Second Brother?” he said to Xie Jinfei.

Embarrassed, Xie Jinfei turned bright red and was at a loss for words.

Ye Xinglan scolded Ye Xingli, “How dare you talk this way to your second brother? Apologize!”

Just like Ye Xingbei, Ye Xingli was scared to death of Ye Xinglan.

The moment Ye Xinglan glared at him, he immediately shrank his neck in fear.

Little Xiao Shu was also quite scared of Ye Xinglan, but seeing how terrified his younger uncle was, he mustered up the courage and bravely said to Ye Xinglan, “Big Uncle, Little Uncle didn’t mean any harm, he’s just not that good with idioms. I’ll teach him properly later. Can you stop scolding Little Uncle please?” Ye Xingli:”…”

He was happy that his nephew cared for him, but it was rather humiliating to be taught idioms by a five-year-old child.

Seeing Xiao Shu’s somewhat timid eyes still bravely looking at him and pleading for Ye Xingli, Ye Xinglan’s heart softened. His gaze also turned gentler. “Okay, I’ll listen to Xiao Shu. Just remember to call me ‘Third Uncle’ from now on.”

Xiao Shu felt encouraged by Ye Xinglan’s no longer being angry. He nodded vigorously and said, “Alright, Big Uncle will be Third Uncle from now on, Little Uncle will stay as Little Uncle!”

“Son, eat.” Gu Junzhu handed Xiao Shu the piece of pineapple pork that he loved most. He turned to Ye Xinglan and said, “Before you discipline your younger brother, you need to straighten up yourself first. Did you investigate Shi Qianling and Leng Peini? If not, I can do it myself.”

Ye Xinglan:”…”

Fifth Lord of Gu, are you really good at hitting where it hurts most?

Also, don’t I still count as your eldest nephew-in-law?

Shouldn’t you, as the son-in-law, curry favor with us, your wife’s brothers?

What’s with this calling us out one after the other?

He opened his mouth to retort, then thought again… well, okay, from Ye Xingbei’s perspective, they were uncle and nephew.

But from their parent’s generation, Gu Junzhu was equivalent to their uncle’s generation.

As a traditional uncle, it’s not that big of a deal to discipline his nephews.

Moreover, he and Ye Xingbei haven’t held the wedding ceremony yet. Without a proper title, it’s better not to go out looking for trouble.

Ye Xinglan opened his mouth then shut it again, pretending he hadn’t heard anything and continued eating.

Ye Xingbei had similar thoughts as Ye Xinglan.

Seeing how Gu Junzhu had no respect for the nephews of Ye Xingbei, he thought Gu Junzhu didn’t care about her at all.

If he cared about his wife, he would show more respect for the members of his wife’s family. Even if he wasn’t overly obsequious, he definitely wouldn’t be so unbridled and constantly provoking them.

As this idea suddenly crept into Ye Xingbei’s mind, she found her thoughts to be rather amusing.

Of course, Gu Junzhu wouldn’t place her in his heart.

They were only pretending to be a couple, each getting what they needed. Why would Gu Junzhu place her in his heart?

About Gu Junzhu always sticking by her side and wanting her to have a baby for him, which married couple in a family alliance wouldn’t want a baby?

A contract couple can also have children and spend their lives together.

Countless arranged marriage couples live their lives this way.

She actually hoped for Gu Junzhu to place her in his heart.. On what grounds?
