When Chu An heard this, he glanced at Chu Wanshan, who was chatting happily with Gu Xiao, and sighed.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have brought Xiaoxiao here.” He should have known that with Xiaoxiao’s kind personality, anyone would like her.
Of course, other than the few muddle-headed people in the Ji family.
The abandoned father and son looked at each other and sighed in unison.
However, if they forced their way in and angered Chu Wanshan and Gu Xiao, it would not be good for them either.
However, before the two of them could think of a way to separate the two of them, Chu An’s brother, Chu Zi, walked over with his wife, Wei Xuexi.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two of them had just arrived when they saw Chu Wanshan and Gu Xiao chatting happily.
Wei Xuexi glanced sideways at Chu An. “That’s Xiaoxiao?”
“Yes, that’s Xiaoxiao,” Chu An subconsciously replied.
When Wei Xuexi heard this, she let go of Chu Zi’s arm and left Chu Zi behind as she walked towards Gu Xiao.
The three people who had been left behind saw how Wei Xuexi seemed to have said something, before joining the group of two who had been chatting.
Chu Zi’s gaze subconsciously landed on his already empty arm, and then his condemning gaze landed on Chu An.
He had just picked Xuexi up from the pile of women, but before he could even spend much time with her, she had abandoned him again.
“Can’t you change the time?” Chu Zi said bluntly.
Chu An glanced at Chu Zi, who looked angry but didn’t dare to say anything to his wife, and directly sneered.
“Mom has spoken. How can I refuse? If you have the ability, go ahead. In any case, I’m not!”
Although Chu Wanshan looked gentle, if anyone really accidentally angered her, it would not be easy to resolve.
The three of them shuddered when they thought of the last time Chu Wanshan was angry. The three of them looked at each other. No one dared to interrupt Chu Wanshan just when she was excited.
Chu Baiyuan waited for a while and coughed lightly.
“I still have to chat with the others. I’ll leave first.” Since he couldn’t be with Wanshan, he should go to work!
After Chu Baiyuan finished speaking, he left first.
Chu Zi and Chu An looked at each other before turning to look at Gu Xiao and the other women who were not far away from them.
In the banquet hall, the people who had been paying attention to Gu Xiao’s actions naturally saw the scene of Gu Xiao and Chu Wanshan chatting happily.
“Didn’t you say that Gu Xiao used some tricks to keep the second young master of the Chu family hanging? Isn’t the Chu family very dissatisfied with Gu Xiao now? Why do I feel that there is something off about that now?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s right. Look, that Wei Xuexi is also standing with Gu Xiao. Could it be that Gu Xiao has really won the Chu family’s favor?”
“That shouldn’t be the case, right? The Chu family is such a powerful family. How can they take a fancy to a child from the countryside? Even if they don’t go for a marriage alliance, they should still choose a girl who is an equal match in background.”
“Yes, that’s right. Look at the Ji family’s attitude towards Gu Xiao. It’s obvious that they don’t treat Gu Xiao as a member of the Ji family. Otherwise, why hasn’t the Ji family prepared a banquet for Gu Xiao after Gu Xiao has returned to the Ji family for so long?”
“But I heard that Gu Xiao is good at studies, and her calligraphy is also not bad. Even the calligraphy master, Han Tian is ashamed of his inferiority to her!”
“What’s so great about knowing calligraphy? Aren’t those benefits the most important to a family?”
“That’s right. Although the Chu family dotes on the Second Young Master, the First Young Master is still there. The Chu family will definitely still fall into his power. That Gu Xiao who relies on Second Young Master is just a plaything.”
“But even if Gu Xiao is a plaything, we can’t afford to offend her now.”
As soon as these words were spoken, those people that had previously acted arrogant had no words to refute this.
After all, even if Gu Xiao was just Chu An’s plaything, if Chu An wanted to stand up for Gu Xiao, the Chu family might help him.
If families like theirs really faced the Chu family, they would be completely insufficient in comparison.
“But that might not be the case. Look, the head of the Chu family is very impatient with Gu Xiao! It hasn’t been long since Gu Xiao came, and he has already left. It seems that he really doesn’t like Gu Xiao.”
“That’s right. Mrs. Chu might just have a chat with Gu Xiao for Chu An’s sake. This can’t be taken seriously.”
Everyone agreed. They did not think that Gu Xiao could really win the Chu family’s respect..
