Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
They not only couldnât take revenge, but also had to worry about being retaliated against by Gu Qingluan.
...
Why was Gu Qingluan so fortunate?
She even managed to have a close bond with someone from the Island of No Return!
The most desperate one was Gu Jinyue.
She had been waiting for this day for so long, thinking that she could make Gu Qingluan kneel down and beg for mercy. But who knew that what she got was the news of Gu Qingluan becoming a Saint.
Gu Qingluan must be mocking her for her futile efforts, right?
âCongratulations, Qingluan!â Gu Zhicheng suddenly smiled.
Everyone looked at him.
Gu Qingluan rubbed her arm, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body. âIn front of me, the head of the Gu family doesnât need to be so hypocritical. That smile is chilling.â
Gu Zhichengâs smile froze instantly as if the river water had turned to ice and the mountain wind had come to a sudden stop.
He clenched his muscles a few times, forcibly suppressing the anger rising to his throat, and his smile faded slightly, but his attitude remained enthusiastic. âLuanâer, you did a great job. Now our Gu family has two Saints. No family in Chengyuan can surpass us! Qingluan, why donât you move back to the Gu family? We have double happiness, and we must celebrate!â
She was stunned by being called âLuanâerâ.
âWhether to celebrate or not is up to you, but as for moving back to the Gu family⊠forget it, Iâm already used to living in the Jun residence,â Gu Qingluan said.
Gu Zhicheng frowned, then nodded. âYou can stay wherever youâre comfortable, but remember to come back often.â
âMaybe some people wonât welcome me,â Gu Qingluan hinted, glancing at the other Gu family members.
Gu Zhicheng looked at Wang Shi and the others.
They cursed Gu Qingluan in their hearts but didnât dare to show any displeasure on the surface.
Wang Shi put on a fake smile and said, âQingluan, what are you talking about? You are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. How could we not welcome you back?â
âYeah, big sister, you must come back to see us often,â Gu Qinâer said with a sincere expression.
Gu Zhicheng and Gu Jinyue followed suit.
Only Gu Jinyue and Gu Siâer, the two youngest ones, couldnât maintain their composure and couldnât bring themselves to please Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan smiled as she looked at the two.
Her eyes were playful like she was watching monkeys.
Gu Zhicheng immediately scolded, âYou two better welcome your elder sister!â
Gu Jinyue felt extremely annoyed.
But what choice did she have when she was inferior to Gu Qingluan? In the eyes of their uncle, who valued the familyâs interests above all else, what did her feelings matter?
Reluctantly, Gu Jinyue said, âWelcome back, big sister.â
Gu Siâer was the only one left. She couldnât resist any longer and said, âWelcome.â
âThis is great! A family should be harmonious,â Gu Zhicheng laughed heartily as if he hadnât noticed the undercurrents in the hall. He turned his head and looked at Gu Qingluan with a pair of loving eyes. âQingluan, you havenât come home for a long time. Why not stay here today and catch up with everyone in the family? If you donât want to move back, itâs alright, just come back and stay for a few days. Is that okay?â
âIâm used to my own room, and I canât sleep well here. Itâs more comfortable for me to go back to my place.â Gu Qingluan knew what Gu Zhicheng was thinking and had no intention of cooperating.
If this had happened not long ago, Gu Zhicheng would have been furious at being rejected.
But now, apart from sighing in regret, he didnât blame Gu Qingluan.
âAlright then, if youâre not staying, how about having a simple meal?â Gu Zhicheng suggested.
Gu Qingluan looked at the other Gu family members.
One by one, their faces displayed a range of emotions, becoming more vividly expressive.
She nodded playfully in response to Gu Zhichengâs invitation.
Sure enough, as soon as she agreed, the other peopleâs expressions became even more unpleasant..
