Gu Jinhang knew that Gu Jinfeng was coming back that day, so he did not go out with Ji Mingyue, but came home punctually.
When dinner was over, the servant tidied away the bowls and chopsticks. The children went downstairs to play while the young people gathered together.
Even Gu Fangting was present.
“Fourth Cousin, what were you busy with overseas? Why did it take you so long to come back?” Gu Qingyao asked.
Gu Jinfeng had completed his studies much earlier than planned, but he remained overseas for a while.
Gu Jinfeng smiled. “I had some matters to deal with, which delayed me.”
Gu Qingyao raised her eyebrows. “Investing?”
Gu Jinfeng smiled and nodded.
Gu Fangting was immediately interested. Her eyes shone like stars as she looked at him worshipfully. “Fourth Cousin, what were you doing? Are you very awesome? Are you very rich?”
This little girl was obsessed with making money.
Gu Jinfeng said, “Passable. My time there was too short. Previously, I spent most of my time on school work, and I only had more time later on. But I learnt some things that might be useful.
“Ting Ting, are you studying economics now? You’re so young. If you’re curious about life overseas, you can choose to go overseas to study for a while. It will broaden your experience.”
Gu Fangting’s large eyes shone brightly. “I would love to! After hearing all that Older Cousin has to say, I would really like to go overseas and see what it’s like. Even if I don’t go there to study, it would be good to just look around. But Jiang Xun and I can’t get away.”
Gu Jinfeng asked, “Have you really decided to be with that fellow, Jiang Xun? Aren’t you from different generations? When Jiang Xun meets me, will he address me as ‘Uncle’ or ‘Older Cousin’?”
Jiang Xun, Mo Chengjing and Mu Mu were cousins, and they addressed Gu Qingyao as ‘Aunt’, which made Jiang Xun one generation younger than Gu Fangting.
Gu Fangting shrank back. She kept quiet and hid behind Gu Qingyao.
She could not help it!
Who knew that Mu Mu would belong to the Mo family?
Gu Qingyao glanced at her and said to Gu Jinfeng. “Forget it! Jiang Xun’s grandfather is my teacher’s younger brother. If we follow the Jiang family’s generations, then Jiang Xun is in the same generation as me. But his aunt married Beihan’s older brother when she was very young. These two children grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. It’s natural for them to have feelings for each other. As long as Jiang Xun is reliable, what does it matter?”
Gu Jinfeng said, “I didn’t object; I was just asking. I couldn’t tell that this fellow is so amazing! He’s stolen you away without a sound!”
Gu Fangting blushed. “Fourth Cousin, you can go and steal someone too!”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Oldest Cousin, Gu Jinye, laughed. “Ting Ting is right! Fourth Brother! You had better work harder! Among us, you’re the only one left!”
Gu Jinfeng could not help but look around their circle. Oldest Cousin had married long ago and had children. Second Cousin, Gu Jinhang, had Ji Mingyue. They were going to be engaged by the end of the year and married by the following year. Gu Qingyao, his younger cousin, was married to Mo Beihan. Even Gu Fangting, his little cousin, had a boyfriend.
Truly, he was the only one left alone!
Heartbroken!
“But… Third Cousin isn’t married yet!”
Gu Jinye said, “I think he already has someone in mind. They get along very well, and he’ll probably get married next year. And there’s Fifth Cousin. He’s always away from home. He’s the youngest and has the least pressure. He’s been enjoying himself away from home, but he’s fallen in love recently.
“His two previous courtships did not work out. I’m not sure how this one will end!”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
