Chapter 286: 160 Unmasking (First Update)
Gu Yan sat down beside Gu Jiao with a stern expression on his face.
Gu Jiao laughed, “Why are you so angry?”
“Aren’t you angry?” Gu Yan looked at her, puzzled.
His question was pointless, for wouldn’t he sense whether or not she was vexed?
Xiaojingkong was a child and didn’t understand such complexity, but she should, Gu Yan didn’t understand why she wasn’t angry.
Gu Jiao reclined lazily on the chair: “What is there to be angry about?”
She did not live based on other people’s opinions. The judgment of others could not harm her, and she did not depend on anyone else’s charity. She was strong enough to disregard all fleeting extravagances.
Although Gu Yan couldn’t quite reach the state that his sister was at, by her side, his emotions were affected by her inner strength, gradually calming down.
Xiaojingkong enjoyed the meal very much, got dirty all over: “Jiaojiao, I got dirty.”
“It’s okay, I brought you clothes.” Gu Jiao took Xiaojingkong into the room, washed his face and hands, and took a small padded jacket out of her backpack for him to change into.
The Yao’s Old Madam had one son and one daughter, and Yao Yuan also had a son and a daughter. The daughter was Yao Xin, and the son was Yao Fengyi.
Yao Fengyi was studying out of town, reportedly not returning this year.
The whole family sat down to eat, everyone was family, so there was no division of male and female seats.
The Yao family first took Xiaojingkong to wash his hands, found that his shoes were wet from the snowfield, and carefully changed his socks and tiger-headed shoes.
Frankly speaking, Xiaojingkong was really good-looking. The Yao’s Old Madam had never seen a more beautiful child in her life.
But no matter how beautiful, he was just an orphan with no parents, he would have to rely on the Marquis Residence in the future.
However, in the presence of Mrs. Yao, the Yao’s Old Madam still showered Xiaojingkong with love.
The Yao’s Old Madam gave him the biggest chicken leg.
Xiaojingkong politely said: “Thank you grandmother, but I cannot eat meat right now.”
When he grows up, he will be able to. His Grandmother said that when he is bigger, meat would be willing to let him eat it!
“Then eat this.” The Yao’s Old Madam placed the egg custard in front of Xiaojingkong.
The egg custard was carefully made, with lilies added, especially lovely.
Xiaojingkong’s index fingers made big movements, happily eating it.
The meal was reasonably harmonious.
After the meal, the Yao’s Old Madam let Yao Xin take Gu Jiao and the others for a walk in the garden.
Gu Yan grabbed a small blanket.
They hadn’t walked for long when Xiaojingkong started rubbing his eyes.
“Tired?” Gu Jiao asked.
Xiaojingkong shook his head: “I’m not tired! I just ate a little too much.”
Gu Jiao laughed and picked him up.
Xiaojingkong’s eyes were wide open: “I’m really not tired, I don’t want to sleep at all!”
Then he tilted his head on Gu Jiao’s lap and fell asleep.
Yao Xin had always been puzzled as to why Gu Yan would hold a blanket when taking a walk, but when she saw Gu Yan lay it over Xiaojingkong, she understood.
This cousin was quite thoughtful.
“Cousin, when will Cousin Jinyu come?” she asked with a smile.
Gu Yan irritably replied: “Why don’t you go ask her? How would I know?”
Yao Xin was taken aback and felt a bit awkward. She continued: “I heard that Cousin Jinyu has enrolled in a women’s school, is that true?”
Gu Yan was so annoyed by Gu Jinyu, yet this cousin kept asking about her. Was she blind? Didn’t she see his own sister was right here?
“I’m also tired and want to go to sleep!” He said, pulling Gu Jiao that they left without looking back.
The Yao’s Old Madam detached the three children for a reason. She gave the He family a look, and the He family said to Mrs. Yao: “Sister, the Old Madam is tired, let her rest. Let’s go to my room to chat.”
Mrs. Yao didn’t particularly like this sister-in-law, but it would be impolite to refuse, so she reluctantly went to the He family’s room.
The He family did not disappoint Mrs. Yao. After a few words of small talk, she dug a hole for Mrs. Yao: “Sister, has Jinyu mentioned anything about marriage?”
Based on Mrs. Yao’s understanding of He Family, she wouldn’t show interest in this for no reason.
Mrs. Yao was suspicious.
Could it be that the He family wanted to arrange a marriage between Jinyu and Yao Fengyi?
Mrs. Yao disguised her emotions and said: “Not yet. The marriage of her will be decided by the Old Madam and the Marquis, I don’t worry about it.”
The He family laughed: “Jinyu is a promising girl. Her future marriage prospects will surely be excellent. However, she has reached the marriageable age, you, as her mother, should be more concerned.”@@novelbin@@
“Hmm.” Mrs. Yao was even more confused. If she wasn’t targeting Jinyu, what was she up to?
The He family smiled and said: “Xin will soon reach marriageable age too, and she is not as capable as Jinyu. I think it’s better to settle her marriage affairs earlier, otherwise, it will be harder to discuss when she gets older.”
What do you think?
