Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The three of them were in a dilemma after walking out of the wall. Outside the wall was an endless mountain path. There was no transportation. If they walked down, Gu Teng’s body would not be able to withstand it.
Perhaps the heavens wanted to help them, but a car stopped in front of them. Gu Yu and the other two lied that they had lost their way in the forest and lost their cars and electronic equipment.
Although the owner of the car was very puzzled, he still let the three of them get into the car. When they reached the city center, the three of them realized that they were in the city where Yunbao’s father, Xiao Jing, was.
Gu Yu gave his watch to the car owner, hoping that he could send them to Xiao Jing’s house.
As a big family in the city, the owner of the car knew the address of the Xiao family and agreed. However, he emphasized that he would only send them to a place a distance from the entrance. They had to get out of the car and walk over. After all, he was a small fry. He did not want to offend the Xiao family because of this.
After arriving, the three of them got out of the car and walked to the entrance of the Xiao residence. Gu Yu hoped that the guard would inform Xiao Jing that his friend from the Gu family had come to look for him.
Although the guard did not know if the three of them were telling the truth, he did not dare to be negligent and went in to pass the message. However, since Xiao Jing was not around, he could only tell the butler about this.
“Invite the three friends in. I’ll inform the Sir. Bring them to the guest room on the fourth floor. Send someone to guard the door.” After making all the arrangements, the butler called Xiao Jing.
“Wait!” An old and deep male voice sounded. “Can my Xiao residence be entered by just anyone? Bring me there!”
The old man was wearing a white sports suit, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead. It could be seen that the old man had just returned from his exercise.
The butler and the guard were respectful when they saw him. “Master, do we still have to inform Sir?” The butler knew that although Old Master Xiao Shan and the Sir were father and son, the Old Master was very angry because the Sir got married privately outside. From then on, the two of them did not speak much.
“Ridiculous! I’m his father and the former head of the Xiao family. Am I not qualified to ask about the family’s matters?” Xiao Shan’s temper had always been like this. His fiery temper made the servants tremble with fear.
The butler did not dare to say anything else. He only waved at the guard and asked him to inform the Sir. He accompanied the Old Master to the fourth floor to meet the three people who claimed to be the Sir’s friends.
Xiao Shan had just arrived at the door of the room where the three of them were when he heard the conversation in the room. “Fourth Brother, you said that the Xiao family objected to my marriage with Xiao Jing back then. Will they acknowledge us now?” When she asked the question, Gu Teng felt uneasy.
Not only was Gu Teng afraid that the Xiao family would not acknowledge her as their daughter-in-law, but she was also afraid that Xiao Jing had already forgotten about her and had a new lover. Although she had already forgotten her memories with Xiao Jing, her heart ached every time she heard this name.
“It turns out that Xiao Jing was seduced by you previously! Our Xiao family doesn’t welcome you! Because of you, our Xiao family’s original engagement with the Zhang family was canceled. Now, the youngest daughter of the Zhang family is willing to forget about the past and reconsider our family’s engagement. I didn’t expect you to come and stir up trouble again.” Xiao Shan ordered them to leave after throwing a fit.
“Butler, send the guests off! Send them back to where they came from!” With that, Xiao Shan left without looking back.
Hearing that Xiao Jing was engaged again, Gu Teng could not hide the sadness on her face. “Fourth Brother, let’s go. I don’t even remember him. Why are we still looking for him?” Although Gu Teng wanted to see Xiao Jing, she did not want her family to be humiliated by others because of her.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, the butler stopped them. “Please wait a moment. My Old Master has a bad temper. Please forgive him. I’ve already sent someone to inform the Sir. I hope you can stay here for the night. Tomorrow morning, the Sir will definitely come back.”
Seeing that the butler’s attitude was sincere and his words were respectful, the three of them decided to stay at the Xiao family’s house for the night and wait for Xiao Jing to return tomorrow..
