Chapter 131 - 131: Little Wolf Dog Becomes a Little Innocent Puppy
Lu Miao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, a worthless bracelet?
Mithril is extremely complex to forge, with astonishingly high costs.
Moreover, the spatial array on top cannot be purchased even with money.
If this bracelet were publicly auctioned, one bracelet could buy a whole house.
Grandma Gu didn’t respond to Gu Xingyu’s words. Instead, she gently tapped the tea leaves with the tea lid and looked at Lu Miao. “After all, you are only engaged. It’s not appropriate for you to move out now. If there’s anything you need to move, let Uncle Liu help you bring the things back later.”
Lu Miao straightforwardly replied, “I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to that.”
Finally, Grandma Gu’s face turned grim. “So, what you mean is that you want to oppose me by taking them with you until the end?”
“No, what I mean is that you can let them come back, but I won’t come back. I bought the house myself, it has nothing to do with the Gu family, and you have already found a solution to Gu Shiyan’s problem. The engagement and wedding celebration were absurd from the beginning, and I’m willing to dissolve the engagement,” Lu Miao said resolutely.
“Hmph, you bought the house? Lu Miao, do you have any shame? Lingyue Manor’s house is worth several billion. Even if you sold yourself, you wouldn’t be worth that much,” Gu Xingyu scoffed.
Dissolve the engagement?
Grandma Gu caressed the teacup in her hand, about to speak.
“Mom, why are you all here? Miao Miao is here too. It’s been a long time since you’ve been back. What are you doing here? It’s not good for your health to be surrounded by incense for too long. Come, sit up front,” Shen Qinghe hurriedly walked in from outside.
In the afternoon, Grandma Gu suddenly expressed her desire for fresh wild vegetables. She didn’t trust anyone else to do it, so she asked Shen Qinghe to go to the market and buy some. At the time, she felt something was amiss, but didn’t think much of it. Little did she know, as soon as she arrived at the market, Auntie Xiu secretly sent her a message saying that Grandma Gu had asked someone to bring Lu Miao back home. That’s when she suddenly realized Grandma Gu’s intention and hurried back.
Grandma Gu put down the teacup without saying anything more. “Since you’re here, let’s have dinner together.”
After speaking, she stood up and walked straight toward the main buil
Shen Qinghe pulled Lu Miao from behind and carefully inspected her f) head to toe. Seeing that she was fine, she breathed a slight sigh of relie whispered, “Did Grandma Gu give you a hard time?”
Lu Miao shook her head. “No.”
It was just adding lamp oil, nothing particularly difficult.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
Lu Miao has always been accustomed to enduring silently; the more she is bullied, the less she says.
This child seems to never consider herself, always thinking of others and preventing anyone from being troubled.
Sighing inwardly, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for the grievances she caused. She would have to make it up to her even more in the future.
Lu Miao didn’t feel wronged. She hoped Grandma Gu would continue discussing the dissolution of the engagement. As long as Grandma Gu agreed, Gu Shiyan would have no choice.
But now it seemed highly unlikely.
“Aunt Shen, I have something to attend to, so I won’t stay for dinner.”
“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Stay and keep Aunt Shen company,” Shen Qinghe insisted.
Lu Miao couldn’t refuse any longer since she had already expressed herself this way.
Just as they reached the living room in the front yard, Gu Jinxi rushed in from the outside like a small cannonball and stood in front of Lu Miao.
Covering his mouth, he turned to Lu Miao and whispered, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
After receiving the news that his second sister-in-law had been brought back by Grandma Gu, he immediately rushed back without a moment’s delay.
Shen Qinghe playfully tapped his head. “What mischief are you causing? Take your second sister-in-law upstairs to rest first.”
With Gu Jinxi accompanying her, she didn’t have to worry about Lu Miao being mistreated.
“Ah, got it! Let’s go, second sister-in-law,” Gu Jinxi cheerfully pulled Lu Miao upstairs.
Shen Qinghe sent Gu Xingyu away and entered the room with Grandma Gu.
“Mom, please don’t listen to Gu Xingyu’s nonsense. Lu Miao didn’t come to the Gu family for money in the first place. She was manipulated by the Lus. I don’t know what’s wrong with Xingyu, but she was getting more and more muddled.
She did not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong at all.”
She had scolded and reprimanded Gu Xingyu, but she seemed more confused than ever, unable to discern right from wrong.
Now that Grandma Gu had returned, she was even more brazen.
Sometimes, she really wanted to open Gu Xingyu’s head and see what she was thinking.
That’s why she didn’t stop Lu Miao from moving out before.
At least by moving out, Lu Miao didn’t have to tolerate Gu Xingyu’s unreasonable and arrogant behavior for the sake of their relationship.
“I’m not so old that I can’t see through such trivial matters,” Grandma Gu spoke. “I just want to know what ability she has that made so many of you stand by her side and speak up for her in such a short period, defending her.”
Gu Shiyan and the others moved out with her, and she just returned from the capital last night. Even Gu Jinxi insisted on going to her place late at night.
She naturally understood her own grandsons. Gu Jinxi and Gu Ziheng may be unreliable, but they wouldn’t easily be swayed by others, especially Gu Shiyan.
But precisely because she understood them, she felt that Lu Miao was a terrifying person.
Especially after their brief interaction just now, how could someone undergo such a drastic change in such a short period of time?
If Lu Miao wasn’t extremely clever, then she was exceptionally good at hiding her true intentions.
“It’s because she truly is a good child. After coming to the Gu family, she has done a lot for the family, treating Ziheng’s throat and helping Jinxi study.
Mom, I hope you can understand her better before making a decision,” Shen Qinghe explained.
Grandma Gu didn’t say much more, and her thoughts were unclear.
Upstairs, Lu Miao was supervising Gu Jinxi’s homework when the door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Gu Xingyu walked in with an air of superiority and sat directly on the sofa. Gu Jinxi frowned, looking impatiently at her. “What do you want now?”
“I don’t want anything. I’m just here to keep an eye on things, to prevent her from taking anything else from the Gu family,” Gu Xingyu sneered. “After all, some people are used to being poor and have a keen eye for money. Last time, she even wanted to take away a doll. How do I know if she will try to deceive you again and take something else?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinxi slammed his homework down, stood up in anger, and retorted, “Gu Xingyu, who are you insulting?”
“Insulting someone who steals things. How about that? Do you also admit that she wants to steal something from you?” Gu Xingyu sneered coldly, looking at Lu Miao.
Since Grandma was at home to support her, she wasn’t afraid of Lu Miao.
Gu Jinxi lifted his leg, ready to rush over and throw her out.
How could he be a twin with such a foolish person!!!
If it were someone else, he would have used his fists long ago.
Lu Miao casually reached out and grabbed his collar. “Don’t think about avoiding your homework. Pick up your workbook and continue. ”
Damn it, how did she realize his intention!!
Gu Jinxi immediately wore a miserable expression. He went from being an aggressive little wolf to a crumpled little puppy in an instant..
