"Well then, do you have any other ways to prove it?"
At this moment, Gu Zhixing looked at Jing Yuan, who was sitting opposite him with a handsome and elegant appearance, and for a moment, he didn't know how to face him.
"Jingchuan, go to your bookshelf and grab any book."
Hearing Gu Zhixing's words, Gu Xiao turned to Gu Jingchuan and said.
"Ah? Oh, oh, oh."
Gu Jingchuan had just recovered from his shock, stammered a couple of responses, and then turned to run upstairs in a flurry.
In the middle, there were a few sounds of his knees hitting the stairs, and Gu Jingchuan's cries of pain.
Soon, Gu Jingchuan frantically pulled a book from the bookshelf and ran downstairs with a thud.
"Sis."
Gu Jingchuan handed the book in his hand to Gu Xiao.
Taking the book from Gu Jingchuan, Gu Xiao casually opened a page, and Jing Yuan on the opposite side began to read aloud.
"A-Wei looked at the plump auntie next door, and his recently calmed heart became restless again, accompanied by physiological changes…"
As soon as Jing Yuan spoke, Gu Jingchuan's expression changed drastically, let alone the parents of both families.
"Why did you buy this kind of book?"
Gu Xiao turned to look at Gu Jingchuan, shaking the book in her hand.
"It's, it's that age."
If Gu Jingchuan's expression had only been blank before because of Gu Xiao and Jing Yuan's matter, then now his face was numb.
He was even already thinking about where he would be buried in the future.
He had been too flustered just now and hadn't looked carefully at which book he was taking before rushing downstairs.
"That's true."
Gu Xiao nodded, indicating understanding.
In her previous life, she had also read quite a few, but each time she read, she would use incognito mode, and after finishing, she wouldn't forget to clear all records.
Later, after buying a second phone, she only used the old phone for reading, and the new phone only contained upright content.
Just as Gu Xiao was about to continue reading, Gu Jingchuan was startled by Gu Xiao's movement and quickly reached out to cover Gu Xiao's mouth.
"Sis, are you trying to kill me?"
At least what was read just now wasn't a crucial part; if the passionate battle scenes were also read out, then he, Gu, would definitely run away from home.
Ruan Qinghuan and Pei Lingyi were still somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Gu Jingchuan was reacting so strongly.
Gu Zhixing turned his head and gave Gu Jingchuan a meaningful look, while Jing Dongfeng, standing behind Pei Lingyi, raised an eyebrow at Gu Jingchuan.
It seemed to be saying, 'Young man, you have good taste.'
Under the gaze of the two fathers, Gu Jingchuan felt his scalp tingle, wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
"I'll change the book."
Closing the book and handing it back to Gu Jingchuan, Gu Xiao turned and said.
After this interruption, the previously solemn atmosphere was broken, but a certain person, already drowned in despair, could no longer feel this subtle change in atmosphere.
"No need, we believe you."
Although there was this small interlude, Gu Zhixing and Ruan Qinghuan now fully believed that Gu Xiao was Jing Yuan.
However, thinking that his beloved daughter was actually the third young master of the City Lord's family in Tianyuan City, Gu Zhixing felt an indescribable emotion surge within him.
This emotion was neither joy nor sadness; rather, it was akin to the feeling of forgetting what to say after opening one's mouth.
It was a very awkward feeling, like having prepared a long speech but forgetting what to say just as one was about to speak.
"My dear brother, I know what you're thinking. When I first found out about this, my feelings were similar to yours."
Looking at the stunned Gu Zhixing, Jing Dongfeng stood up and walked over to him.
"But there's something I still want to clarify."
Gu Zhixing's expression immediately became serious upon hearing this. He thought that Jing Dongfeng, after learning about this, wanted to compete with him for his daughter.
If that were truly the case, even if the other party was a member of the Jing family, he would not back down.
"I am truly a person who is consistent in word and deed."
However, what Jing Dongfeng said was not at all what Gu Zhixing was thinking.
He just wanted to clarify that while he, Jing Dongfeng, couldn't claim to be a perfectly upright person, he had absolutely never participated in those disgusting and sordid affairs.
The relationship between their two families would be even closer than in-laws in the future, so such misunderstandings couldn't arise.
Hearing Jing Dongfeng's words, Gu Zhixing's face immediately showed an awkward expression.
He obviously remembered what he had said to Gu Xiao in the fast-food restaurant, and it was likely all heard by this person.
"Uh, City Lord, I'm not…"
"Ah, I understand, I understand. I also have a daughter, so I can understand your mindset."
Gu Zhixing's words were cut short by Jing Dongfeng.
As a shrewd person, he knew that interrupting Gu Zhixing at this moment would resolve his embarrassment more easily than letting him finish.
"And also, don't be so polite with me from now on. I'm older than you, so you can call me Old Brother Jing, and I'll call you Little Brother Gu."
Jing Dongfeng found the constant
City Lord, City Lord
quite awkward to hear.
"Alright then, Old, Old Brother Jing."
Gu Zhixing nodded, stammering a bit as he addressed him.
"That's more like it."
Seeing that Gu Zhixing was no longer so resistant to him, Jing Dongfeng said with great satisfaction.
On the other side, Pei Lingyi had already sat next to Ruan Qinghuan, calling her
little sister
this and
little sister
that.
Pei Lingyi was someone who dominated the conversation among noble wives, and Ruan Qinghuan couldn't defend against her, quickly falling under her influence.
"So, I have another brother now?"
Gu Jingchuan, who had just recovered from his social mortification, looked at Jing Yuan, who was sitting not far from him, and scratched the back of his head.
"It's not just one more brother, it's two more brothers and one sister."
As Gu Jingchuan asked, Jing Hanshuang came to his side and said.
"Ah? Pretty big sister, hello."
Gu Jingchuan was startled by Jing Hanshuang, who suddenly appeared beside him, and greeted her somewhat flustered.
"Hehe, what a sweet talker. My name is Jing Hanshuang. You can call me Sister Hanshuang, or just Sister."
Jing Hanshuang was amused by Gu Jingchuan's
pretty big sister
.
"You can call her Big Sister, and me Second Sister from now on."
Gu Xiao came to Gu Jingchuan's side and pushed Jing Hanshuang's face away.
"Oh, how boring," Jing Hanshuang, pushed away by Gu Xiao, pouted unhappily, but soon her expression changed, and she came smiling to Gu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, you're so beautiful, your looks are no less than mine, Big Sister's."
Before coming here, Jing Dongfeng had naturally sent people to investigate Gu Xiao's family information.
Therefore, they knew the names of the Gu family members.
"This skin, so fair and tender."
Jing Hanshuang pinched Gu Xiao's cheek, practically sticking to her.
"Don't touch me."
Gu Xiao pulled Jing Hanshuang off her.
"Hmph, how heartless."
Jing Hanshuang muttered resentfully.
