Xu Yan seriously sized up Xu Qingqing. Only then did he realize that his younger sister was really different this time when she came back. Perhaps he had also paid some attention to An An and Yi Yi before, so he had ignored the changes in his younger sister.
"Qingqing, your current growth makes big brother very gratified. But big brother hopes even more that he can shoulder all this and let you, An An and Yi Yi live happily."
Xu Yan said with deep emotion.
Xu Qingqing looked at him with a smile. "Big brother, what are you talking about? People always have to go through some hardships in their lives. Since that's the case, instead of letting An An and Yi Yi grow up in a greenhouse, it's better to let them face some hardships from a young age so that they can be more steady when they grow up."
Hearing Xu Qingqing's words, Xu Yan helplessly stroked her head.
"Okay, okay, you're right. Let's do it as you say now."
It was not until it got dark and Xu Yan came in to deliver dinner that Lu Chuanbai left. It was impossible for Xu Qingqing to say that she didn't care at all about the fact that he had been standing outside for a whole day.
But she really didn't know how to face Lu Chuanbai now.
The blood - relationship between the two children and Lu Chuanbai was something she couldn't cover up.
The next day, Xu Yan, on behalf of the Xu family, appraised some antiques of the Gu family, proving that they were genuine and that the corresponding purchase channels were traceable.
Coupled with an invisible force helping the Gu family, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were finally released.
However, after this battle, the Gu family's industry had shrunk a lot. In just a few days, many of the Gu family's orders had been snatched away by other enterprises.
Mr. Gu made an appointment to meet and said he wanted to thank Xu Yan properly, but Xu Yan politely declined.
At the Gu family's.
After Mr. Gu checked the information about the Xu family online, he nodded repeatedly. "This Xu family has a good family tradition. Xu Yan is also a good boy. An Rou, do you want to consider marrying Xu Yan?"
Gu Anrou was originally holding a fruit plate. Hearing this, she almost dropped the fruit plate to the ground.
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense about? How could I marry Xu Yan?"
"Not to mention anything else, just the way I don't get along with his younger sister, Xu Yan doesn't like me, and I don't like him either."
Mr. Gu caught the key point in Gu Anrou's words and asked, "You said you don't get along with Xu Yan's younger sister? Why?"
Mrs. Gu also chimed in. "I heard that the reason the Xu family helped us this time was that you went to beg the young lady of the Xu family. If you don't get along with her, why did she still help you?"
Gu Anrou pursed her lips and didn't want to admit that she had given her bracelet to Xu Qingqing.
But Mr. and Mrs. Gu didn't intend to let her off easily. They now intended to draw the Xu family into their camp. If they had the help of the Xu family, they would have a smoother business and wouldn't have to worry about the safety of their rear.
Gu Anrou saw the strong attitude of her parents and reluctantly said, "I think Brother Chuanbai likes Xu Qingqing, so I don't like Xu Qingqing. Moreover, Xu Qingqing has two children with her, and she can't even say clearly who the father of the two children is. What right does a woman like her have to marry Brother Chuanbai?"
Hearing that it was related to Lu Chuanbai again, Mr. Gu got angry.
"I've told you long ago that our Gu family will never form a marriage alliance with the Lu family! They of the Lu family look down on us, and we of the Gu family also look down on them."
"This time when our Gu family had an accident, the Lu family must have laughed at us a lot behind our backs. Just the many businesses I've found that were snatched away by the Lu family. Gu Anrou, if you still consider yourself my daughter, don't even think about marrying into the Lu family. I'm telling you, as long as I'm still alive, it will never be possible!"
Hearing these words, Gu Anrou's eyes immediately turned red, and tears streamed down. She threw the fruit plate on the table. "Dad, why do the conflicts of your previous generation have to involve our generation? I like Brother Chuanbai so much, and you clearly know that!"
Seeing that Mr. Gu and Gu Anrou were about to quarrel again, Mrs. Gu quickly came to Gu Anrou's side and tried to persuade her gently.
"Okay, okay, Anrou. Your dad is just a stubborn person. Although he said so, you've always been staying by Lu Chuanbai's side, and he didn't say anything either. But over the years, mom has also found that Lu Chuanbai doesn't regard you as his future wife at all. At most, he just treats you as a younger sister."
"Since your father doesn't get along with the Lu family and Lu Chuanbai doesn't like you, why do you have to cling to just this one tree?"
Gu Anrou turned around and left. "I won't talk to you. You'll never understand!"
Mr. and Mrs. Gu who were left sitting in the living room were very angry.
That day, Xu Yan received a call from Mr. Gu. In the call, Mr. Gu invited Xu Yan to visit the Gu family, but Xu Yan declined again.
Two days later, An An and Yi Yi were making a fuss to see Xu Qingqing, but at this time, there were still bandages on Xu Qingqing's body.
Lu Fenglin had come to Xu Qingqing's ward for the third time today.
In the past, there was always a hint of a smile on his face, but now he looked listless, and his face was even a little pale.
He rubbed his forehead and helplessly said, "Miss Xu, you'd better find a way to go and see these two children. They're making too much noise without seeing you. I really can't handle them."
What he didn't say was that these two children were making so much noise that he almost wanted to pick them up one by one and leave them aside.
He was naturally rather cold - natured and didn't particularly like children. Before, he wanted to take An An or Yi Yi to his home just to pick a fight with Lu Chuanbai. But unexpectedly, Lu Chuanbai hadn't shown up at the hospital for the past two days.
And Xu Yan was still busy dealing with the affairs of the Gu family. The burden of taking care of the two children suddenly fell on his shoulders, which made Lu Fenglin suffer a great deal.
If the two children had cute sides, they definitely accounted for less than one - tenth of the whole day.
Xu Qingqing saw Lu Fenglin's helplessness. She missed the two children very much now. Her eyes lit up as she thought of an idea.
When Lu Fenglin returned to An An and Yi Yi's side again, he had already brought Xu Qingqing with him.
Seeing Xu Qingqing coming, An An and Yi Yi rushed towards her.
Getting closer, Yi Yi was the first to notice the bandage on Xu Qingqing's arm. His little face was full of worry. "Mummy, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
An An's eyes immediately turned red. "I knew why Mummy didn't come to see us these two days. It turned out that Mummy was hurt. Wuwuwu, Mummy, what exactly happened to you?"
Seeing the two children so concerned, Xu Qingqing felt very warm in her heart.
She stroked the two children's heads and comforted them. "Mummy is okay. I just accidentally fell at home. But this made Mummy find a good thing."
Saying that, she took out a box from behind like a magician. After opening the box, the red jade bracelet inside was very eye - catching.
Seeing the bracelet, Xu Anan's eyes lit up. She subconsciously reached out her little hand to touch it and exclaimed, "Mummy, why is this bracelet warm?"
