Gu Jingyan was feeling annoyed.
A family was approaching, and upon seeing Qin Tao, they finally spoke without flattery—
"Oh my, Second Sister-in-law, you're dressed so young, like a little girl. If people didn't know better, they'd think Second Brother took a young wife!"
The third family, led by Gu Pingzhi with Sun Jiao, came without Gu Pinting. Instead, it was Sun Jiao's niece, Sun Yunyun, who tagged along.
In front of so many noblewomen, Qin Tao, who wasn't much of a talker, didn't want to argue with Sun Jiao, but those words were indeed unpleasant, making her face turn somewhat red.
Gu Jingyan, who always hated it when people flattered his mom by saying she looked like his sister, heard this and his face darkened: "Do you even know how to speak? Young and beautiful means a young wife? Then, since you're from the third family, should you be called a mistress?"
Though he didn't like being called siblings with his mom, in crucial moments, Gu Jingyan was very protective.
