When Xiao Jing and Gu Teng returned home, Gu Lin, who was sitting in the living room, was shocked. They were fine when they left. Why did they need someone to help them when they returned?
Gu Yu walked over and helped her sister support Xiao Jinga She asked, “What happened?”
Gu Teng told them what had happened with a solemn expression. The Gu family members were so shocked that they did not know what to say. After a long time, Gu Lin said, “Xiao Shan is a family head after all. He actually did such a ridiculous thing!’
It was obvious how angry Gu Lin was when he called Xiao Jing by his name. It was obvious that he did not take the Gu family seriously. If an illegitimate child really came out of this, Gu Teng would probably be laughed at for the rest of her life.
He walked over and patted Xiao Jings shoulder. “Fortunately, you weren’t lost in the medicine. Otherwise, there would be no way to end this matter.”
Thinking about it now, Xiao Jing was also very afraid. If he lost his mind, he would not have the face to return to the Gu family.
“The medicinal effect of that potion is very magical. I just smelled it and felt a sense of love for Chen Yue. It’s not as simple as drugging people, but making me fall in love with Chen Yue from the bottom of my heart,” Xiao Jing said as he recalled the scene.
Gu Yu frowned and said, “I’ve never heard of such a potion. Human feelings are not affected by spells at all. I’ve only heard that foreign sorcerers have seduction potions, but there’s a price to pay for using this potion.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Teng suddenly remembered. “Previously, when Devon and Mao Feng captured Yunbao, the two children said that they saw Chen Yue there. This potion is very likely given to her by Devon.”
“Then Devon must know the exact effect of this potion. We might be able to get the antidote from him,” Gu Lin said.
Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard that. They called Tian Min and told her about this. She expressed that she could go to see Devon and ask about this.
At this moment, Yunbao asked, “Grandpa wants Daddy to have a son, right?”
Gu Teng recalled Yunbao’s state a few days ago and hurriedly squatted down to explain, “This is just Grandpa’s idea. Daddy and Mommy won’t have any more children.’
If Xiao Jing and Gu Teng wanted to have a child, Yunbao wouldn’t take it to heart at all because she knew that her parents would still love her. However,
Xiao Shan’s actions made her a little sad. She lowered her head and said, “If I were a boy, this wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“It’s not like that.” Xiao Jing carried her to the sofa and said, “If you were a boy, your grandfather would still want me to have another girl. Human desires will never be satisfied.’
What Xiao Jing didn’t say was that Xiao Shan definitely didn’t want the girl for kinship. Instead, he would prepare for the girl to marry into a suitable family when she became an adult. However, there was no need to let Yunbao know about these dark matters.
Yunbao didn’t quite understand, but when she heard her father say that, she felt that she wasn’t at fault. She smiled and said, “Grandpa was wrong, right?” “Yes.” Xiao Jing nodded. “What happened today is all your grandfather’s fault.”
After Xiao Jing successfully coaxed Yunbao, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that this matter would leave a shadow on Yunbao. The next morning, the servant reported, “A group of people came outside and said that they wanted to see Young Master.”
Xiao Jing smiled and said, “Looks like my father called the Xiao family over. They’re really fast.”
“Do you want to see them?” Gu Teng asked worriedly. “They must be here to beg you to go back.”
Xiao Jing hugged her and comforted her. “Don’t worry. If I want to completely leave the Xiao family, this side is inevitable.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle waited outside with a large family. Second Uncle paced around anxiously and said, “What is Xiao Jing thinking? He just abandoned such a huge family business.”
“l think it was caused by Gu Teng,” Second Aunt said.
Second Uncle slapped her. “Shut up. Are you courting death by saying bad things about the Gu family in the Gu family’s territory? We’re here to beg Xiao Jing to come home today, not to become enemies with the Gu family!’
Second Aunt covered her face and looked at Second Uncle angrily without saying anything else. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with this matter at all. It was normal for men to have mistresses outside. It was only because Gu Teng was pretentious that things turned out like this. She had already tolerated Second Uncle having so many mistresses outside, so why couldn’t Gu Teng tolerate it?
Third Uncle was calmer than Second Uncle. He said, “Second Brother, I think you shouldn’t be anxious first. The source of this matter lies in what Eldest Brother did. We have to say that we’re on Xiao Jing’s side..”
