Chapter 419 - 420: Is it Still Uncle?
Chapter 419: Chapter 420: Is it Still Uncle?
It would have been fine if only Gu Junzhu had said those words, but now even Ye Xingbei was saying the same. The Senior Master Gu could not help but take it seriously.
Although he didn’t show it on his face, he felt a great deal of guilt towards Ye Xingbei.
After all, he had used unscrupulous methods to bring Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei together.
Although he felt that Ye Xingbei was lucky to marry his son, he had not sought Ye Xingbei’s consent beforehand nonetheless.
He was at fault.
This made him feel particularly guilty when facing Ye Xingbei, wanting to treat her better and compensate her.
Now even Ye Xingbei said that Sheng Ruolan harbored improper thoughts towards his son, he didn’t know what to do.
He said with difficulty, “But if Lanlan doesn’t live here, where can she live? I live at the base, it’s not convenient to bring a girl in and out, and I can’t trust others to look after her.”
Sheng Ruolan was a 19-year-old girl, with a beautiful face. Apart from entrusting her to his son, he simply couldn’t trust anyone else.
His old buddy’s whole family was dead, leaving only this one girl. If something happened to Sheng Ruolan, how could he explain it to his old buddy?
Seeing his troubled expression, Gu Junzhu, who pitied him and didn’t want him to worry about such trifles, suggested a compromise: “If you really can’t be at ease, let her live here, but only in the servants’ quarter. I’ll ask Aunt Zhao to watch her. Beibei and I cannot let outsiders live in our main building.”
Gu Junzhu tilted his head and looked at Ye Xingbei, “Is that okay?”
“Yes,” Ye Xingbei nodded, and said to Senior Master Gu, “She’s still young and might just have a crush on. Dad, if you have a chance, explain to her clearly that you don’t intend to have her as your daughter-in-law. Advise her to give up. If she’s smart, she won’t have any improper thoughts again.”
Senior Master Gu suddenly thought about his old buddy’s last wish before he died, asking him to let his son marry Sheng Ruolan.
He immediately felt guilty.
He didn’t know whether he was getting old and muddle-headed, or just blind to the situation.
Both children had noticed something he hadn’t.
In that case, it would indeed be inappropriate to let Sheng Ruolan live in the main building, which could affect his son and his wife’s relationship.
He was still waiting to hold a grandchild!
As a result, he made the decision: “Fine, let’s go with your plan. Let her live in the servants’ quarter. You find a few more people to take care of her, and make sure she’s not bullied. When you find a suitable boy, you help to matchmake them, find a good home for her sooner, so I can fulfill my promise to her grandfather.”
He believed that Sheng Ruolan was just young and confused by his son’s handsome face.
Once he explained to Sheng Ruolan that his son was already married, Sheng Ruolan would naturally stop thinking about his son.
He really couldn’t rest assured if Sheng Ruolan was anywhere else.
He had promised his old buddy to take good care of Sheng Ruolan.
Only when Sheng Ruolan was in the care of his son could he be completely at ease.
No one had any objections, so this matter was decided in this way.
Senior Master Gu ordered a security guard, “Go, bring Lanlan back. It’s getting late, it’s time to eat.”
Sheng Ruolan was brought back, she looked at Senior Master Gu with moist eyes, lost and endearing like a fawn, “Grandpa Gu.”
“Lanlan, come,” Senior Master Gu greeted her warmly, “Come, eat!”
The four of them sat around the table, and Senior Master Gu served Sheng Ruolan a few chopsticks of food: “Lanlan, eat more, treat this place like your home, don’t be polite with your little uncle and aunt.”
Is he still her uncle?
Sheng Ruolan’s eyelashes trembled, she seemed a little disappointed..
