"So, no matter what extreme things he said, I could accept them." Mrs. Gu paused briefly and continued, "Jiaye, having you by my side for my entire life, I am already fully content."
"Now that we have found elder sister, knowing that our Gu Family hasnât completely fallen apart."
"My heart has broadened a lot."
"Moreover, having the good child Qianâer and the good niece-in-law Chuyi, what more could I be unsatisfied with?"
"What else could rile me up?"
Mrs. Gu smiled and shook her head, saying, "You all, donât think of me as too fragile."
At this, Xia Chuyi immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu, we certainly donât think youâre fragile!"
"Itâs just that those fake foreigners, the siblings, speak so unpleasantly; we didnât want them to ruin your mood." Xia Chuyi, with a playful demeanor and a casual tone, added, "Look, you and Master have just recognized each other, you should have been happy, but their disturbance was simply annoying, wasnât it?"
"So, if those two come again in the future, Professor and Mrs. Gu, please donât pay them any mind!"
After finishing, Xia Chuyi intentionally winked at Mrs. Gu.
Seeing this, Mrs. Gu immediately burst into laughter, saying, "Youâre right."
Then, Mrs. Gu turned to her own sister and said, "Sister, itâs also fateful, initially, Chuyi, this child, was brought to us as an assistant by Jiayeâs university."
"You donât know, how many students Jiayeâs bad temper has driven away?"
"It was me who saw that Chuyi knew a bit about embroidery, so I took her as my student."
"Later on, Qianâer came along... that is Jiayeâs sisterâs only son."
"It was then I found out that she was in fact Qianâerâs betrothed!" Mrs. Gu said with a smile, looking at her sister and then at Xia Chuyi, and continued, "Is that not coincidental?"
The older people all together looked at Xia Chuyi, and she got a bit embarrassed all of a sudden.
Mrs. Gu smiled but didnât continue teasing her, instead, she continued, "And then now, she traveled far to G city to apprentice, and the Master she ended up apprenticing to turned out to be you!"
At this, Mrs. Gu was greatly moved and waved Xia Chuyi over.
Xia Chuyi walked over and sat beside Mrs. Gu.
Holding her hand, Mrs. Gu said to her sister, "Sister, look, isnât this destiny?"
Master nodded and looked at Xia Chuyi, saying, "Indeed, it is destiny."
"If it wasnât for this child apprenticing to Old Guan and persuading us to come to Capital City, Old Guan and I had planned to retire in G city."
"Because of her, I learned that Xiu Zhi, you were still alive, so Old Guan and I decisively decided to come back to Capital City."
At this, Master also held back a sigh and said, "It all began with this child Chuyi!"
"Yes, if it werenât for Chuyi, our lives might never have intersected again!" Mrs. Gu took over the conversation.
As a result, what was initially a happy topic, in a blink of an eye, became a sighing affair.
And beside them, Master also began to feel sad.
Both Master and Mrs. Gu were feeling emotional; there wasnât much Xia Chuyi could say.
Suddenly, only to see Master adopting a serious expression, she said to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, you and our Gu Family truly are fated."
