Chapter 158: Returning to the Xiao Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The entire Gu family began to prepare for the wedding. Yunbao watched her uncles gather for a meeting. As the eldest brother, Gu Lin said, “This is our Gu family’s daughter getting married. We have to hold a grand ceremony to let everyone in the capital know.”
The other uncles also agreed with this idea. Back then, when Gu Teng was born, they had decided to protect their sister. Later on, when she grew up, they even wanted her to marry the person she liked. Although there were so many twists and turns in the process, they would definitely let their sister obtain the glory she deserved.
As a professor in the Architecture Department, Third Uncle Gu Luo quickly gave the options of locations to host the wedding. The best buildings in the capital were listed on paper, and the others followed suit.
Fifth Uncle Gu Jia had never been good at aesthetics. After looking at it for a long time, he said, “I think the hotels in the city are not bad.”
After saying this, he was chased out. How could he randomly find a hotel for his sister’s wedding?
Gu Jia squatted at the door with a helpless expression. Aesthetic taste was not something he could control.
Yunbao and Gu Zi were playing with the water by the pool. Unexpectedly, they accidentally splashed the water on her hair. Gu Zi’s hair today was carefully combed by the nanny. She quickly returned to her room to comb her hair again.
Yunbao was waiting in the courtyard alone and happened to see Fifth Uncle squatting outside.
“Fifth Uncle, why are you sitting here?” Yunbao pounced over.
Gu Jia quickly caught Yunbao and hugged her. He sighed and said, “Uncle is disdained by the other uncles.”
Yunbao listened to him explain the whole story and smiled. “So Uncle’s aesthetic standards are not good.”
This was a very ordinary child’s language, but in Gu Jia’s ears, it was as if he was disdained again.
Unlike her brothers who were in a frenzy about the wedding, Gu Teng only accompanied her parents to take care of Yunbao every day, as if this wedding had nothing to do with her.
It was already very good that she could be with Xiao Jing openly and with Yunbao by her side. As for the wedding, she would leave it to others to worry about it.
Xiao Jing was the most nervous person in the family. Because Gu Teng had died legally once, the Gu family had re-registered Gu Teng’s household register and identity card.
He immediately pulled Gu Teng to get the marriage certificate and legally bound Gu Teng as his wife so that no one would want to give others to him.
Moreover, he planned to go home today and ask his father to propose marriage. He wanted to give Gu Teng the most rigorous marriage procedure. He could not miss any of them.
After telling Old Master Gu his thoughts, he was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Yunbao, who was at the door, heard everything. Purple Eye appeared in front of Yunbao at this moment and she nodded. “He’s still so scrupulous in etiquette and doesn’t want your mother to suffer at all.”
She spoke as if she knew Xiao Jing. Yunbao asked curiously, “Do you know my father?”
Purple Eye were filled with nostalgia as she said, “We’re old friends.”
Yunbao only understood the words ‘old friend’. Since Purple Eye said that she was her father’s old friend, she was also her elder.
“But he will have a rough time this time.” His Purple Eye stared at Xiao Jing’s back. “Someone will probably want to harm him.”
Hearing this, Yunbao asked anxiously, “Is there any way?
Purple Eye tapped Yunbao’s nose and said, “Of course there’s a way. You can save him if you keep following Xiao Jing.”
Xiao Jing pushed open the door of the study and walked out. His Purple Eye disappeared again. Yunbao was already used to the people around her coming and going. She pounced on Xiao Jing and said, “Daddy, I want to go back with you.”
Xiao Jing didn’t expect Yunbao to make such a request. However, when he thought of how cute Yunbao was, his father’s heart would soften no matter what if he brought him back, so he agreed. “Then Yunbao must be good.”
Yunbao was worried about her father, so she decided to follow him. When she heard him agree. she cheered. “Yunbao will definitely be good.”
Xiao Jing rushed back to S City with Yunbao, completely unaware that the Xiao family had already exploded.
The people of the Xiao family were all gathered in front of Xiao Shan’s bed. His face was as pale as a corpse, and even his breathing was very weak.
Chen Yue brought a masked man to heal Xiao Shan. The masked man stretched out his hand and seemed to be chanting some incantation.
As he moved, waves of black gas emitted from Xiao Shan’s body. Seeing this, everyone retreated and did not dare to go forward, afraid that they would be contaminated by this black gas and fall unconscious like Xiao Shan.
After the masked man finished performing the ritual, Xiao Shan’s face finally regained its color. Then, the masked man whispered something into Chen Yue’s ear.
Chen Yue looked at everyone and said, “The Master said that this family’s jinx is coming back..”
