This meal at the Gu Family’s, everyone tasted it differently.
Few were genuinely there to eat; they had returned for their own interests.
But everyone tacitly understood.
After the meal, they each left.
Huo Yiwen tended to Gu Zhentao as he prepared to sleep, "Don’t go overboard praising Xiao Zhan’s wife; it could rile up the other children against him."
"Among my children, Xiao Zhan is the most outstanding. An Han, his wife, is also the finest among all wives." Gu Zhentao was extremely excited.
Huo Yiwen shook her head helplessly, with an undeniable hint of jealousy, "If she hadn’t married Xiao Zhan, were you planning to take her as your fifth wife?"
"You, all day long, just letting your imagination run wild." Gu Zhentao held her hand, "All these years, I’ve only been with you, don’t you know that?"
Only then did Huo Yiwen utter a sound in acknowledgment.
"Besides, the way An Han looks at Xiao Zhan, the love is unmistakable. When someone loves another, they can’t hide their heart’s intentions." Gu Zhentao laughed, "Just like the way you looked at me back then."
"You’re so full of yourself; did I look at you like that?" Huo Yiwen couldn’t help but laugh.
...
After returning to Tianqin Residence.
Gu Xiaozhan asked her, "Han Han, will you really find the Divine Doctor to treat people from the first house?"
"Actually, Alzheimer’s symptoms are controllable and adjustable. Once the brain is damaged, it’s irreversible, but I still hope it doesn’t continue to worsen," Mu Anhan said, "Besides, I know the first house hasn’t caused any trouble for years; now that she caused a ruckus, it brings no honor to Dad and Mom, right?"
"One has to bear the consequences of their actions within their own family." Gu Xiaozhan said, "Dad was a philanderer in his youth, yet fears others pointing fingers at him in his old age? It’s his own fault! Mom knew he had a family yet pursued him like a moth to a flame, and she’s afraid people will call her a witch!"
Mu Anhan saw how coldly unfeeling he was even towards his own parents and sighed with a smile, "Without their love, where would you come from? How could I have married you? How would we have given birth to such smart and adorable twins?"
Gu Xiaozhan couldn’t help but laugh as well, "Everyone in the first house has some sort of issue, and there’s long-standing animosity with our fourth house. It’s originally between Aunt and my mom; I don’t want you dragged into it, being used by them both."
"Who am I? You sure think anyone can order me around?" Mu Anhan laughed, "Don’t worry. I know my limits and won’t let anyone harm me."
Then, Mu Anhan disguised herself as the young Divine Doctor and called on Tang Haolang to accompany her to the first house to treat Song Qianwei.
When the people of the first house heard that Tang Haolang had brought the renowned young Divine Doctor, they wanted to give it a try, despite knowing Tang Haolang was from the fourth house.
After all, no one wanted to deal with Song Qianwei in her current state.
However, Song Qianwei did not want treatment.
As soon as she heard someone from the fourth house was there, she cursed loudly, "I don’t need pity from the fourth house! I’m not sick! Get out, all of you! I’ll die before using any doctor from the fourth house!"
"Then don’t look! Who wants to treat you?" Tang Haolang snorted, "You have no idea how hard it is to get the young Divine Doctor to make a house call."
