Qin Shuzhen recalled the discussions in their social circle recently and came to a realization. âAre they the two girls from the Gu familyâs eldest branch?â
Xiao Yize nodded.
Qin Shuzhen felt a bit regretful. âLook at me. I was so focused on visiting Ah-Wan that I didnât expect you to have a girlfriend and didnât bring a gift.â
âItâs fine, Auntie Qin. The sun is hot outside. Letâs go in first,â Xiao Yize said politely, inviting Qin Shuzhen inside.
Qin Shuzhen glanced at Ye Qingzi and spoke to Xiao Yize guiltily, âYize, youâre right.â
âQingzi is not worthy to appear in front of Ah-Wan. Our Ye family has let Ah-Wan down, and I have no face to see her.â
âBack then, I didnât manage Qingzi well, and she was used by others. Later, as she grew older, Qingzi felt very guilty.â
âI brought her here this time to apologize to Ah-Wan. If Ah-Wan doesnât want to see her, I wonât let her appear in front of her in the future.â
Hearing Qin Shuzhenâs words, Ye Qingziâs eyes turned red.
Yes, she was innocent too. She had felt guilty for so many years.
It was a conspiracy against the Xiao family that ensnared Auntie Tong Wan. Ye Qingzi was only four years old at the time, a pawn in someone elseâs scheme. What could she have done?
Auntie Tong Wan was gentle and kind; surely, she wouldnât hold a grudge against her.
However, Xiao Yize rejected her coldly. âAuntie Qin, my mother is awake, but donât forget that my sister is gone.â
âAs long as I see Ye Qingzi, my mother will be reminded of what happened back then. She has just recovered from a serious illness. You donât want to agitate her, right?â
Qin Shuzhen sighed and took the gift bag from Ye Qingzi. She said to her, âQingzi, wait outside. Ah-Wanâs health is more important. Iâll bring you to apologize to her when sheâs better.â
Ye Qingzi was reluctant to be denied entry to the Xiao familyâs house, but since her mother had already spoken, she could only nod and return to the car.
The Xiao familyâs old residence was even larger than the Gu familyâs. It was simple and elegant, with its bricks, grass, and trees bearing the weight of history.
The old butler, having heard that Xiao Yize would bring his girlfriend to visit, came out to welcome them with a smile.
âAfter hearing that the Eldest Young Master was bringing his girlfriend home, the old master declined his tea companionâs invitation early this morning. The old mistress even stopped fishing by the lake in the park. The master took half a day off to accompany the madam. Theyâre all waiting in the living room.â
Gu Jin frowned and looked at Xiao Yize. âSo formal?â
Gu Yang couldnât help but think inwardly, âOh man!â
Anyone who didnât know better would think her sister and brother-in-law were preparing to get married, not just starting a relationship and bringing her along as a guest.
Gu Yang regretted being the third wheel. Now, not only was she in the middle of everything, but she also had to endure the awkwardness.
She had met Auntie Tong Wan before, so it wouldnât be awkward accompanying her sister and Xiao Yize to see her. However, meeting Xiao Yizeâs family of elders made her feel a bit pressured.
She glanced at Qin Shuzhen, who was also surprised, and clicked her tongue inwardly. She might even get to witness some top-notch wealthy family gossip.
Xiao Yize hummed softly. His demeanor towards Gu Jin was gentle, unlike his coldness towards Ye Qingzi. âJin, donât be nervous. Sister and I will be with you.â
Gu Yang, ââŠâ
Xiao Yizeâs words had the intended effect. Gu Jin glanced at Gu Yang, who was smiling on the side, and suppressed the nervousness and uneasiness that had just arisen.
With Gu Jin feeling more at ease, it was now Gu Yang who was nervous.
Her sister and brother-in-law were meeting his family, and she felt like an awkward and unnecessary third wheel in the middle of it all.
