Did she pick up this scent after going to Yu’s club?

On the other side, Gu Desheng was still thinking about the golden turtle son-in-law, he earnestly advised Gu Qingwei: “Qingwei, you have more than a month to go out, during this time you should interact more with your classmates and friends, if you can find a suitable partner, it’s better to settle down early, preferably someone who has been to England, so you have someone to look after you over there. The family won’t stop you from finding a partner, but don’t bring us a foreign son-in-law, understand?”

Gu Qingwei blushed and lowered her head: “Dad! Stop it!”

She covered her face and changed the subject, “Sister said she wants to study abroad, I asked others, and I heard that in Canada, you can go to university after studying English for a while, and it’s not as expensive as the United States…”

Truly comprehensive.

She was both taking the easy way out by no longer pretending to want to study in China, and saving the Gu family’s wallet, because Jian’an University was much cheaper in comparison.

In a flash, Sheng Weixia suddenly remembered that she had accidentally seen an interview with Yu Shi in her previous life, where he mentioned that he had a period of exchange study in England during his education.

This was the reason why Gu Qingwei had gone to great lengths to go to England, wasn’t it?

In a foreign country, when she was lonely, a kind and gentle fellow countryman who was not related by blood would be there to offer comfort and care, how smoothly their relationship would develop!

Gu Desheng seemed to be persuaded, he asked Sheng Weixia: “Daughter, what do you think? If you really want to go out, let’s look at Canada?”

In her previous life, this conversation also took place after coming back from Yu Shulan’s party, after she sobered up, her inferiority complex didn’t break her, but pushed her to the other extreme, why could Gu Qingwei go to England, and she couldn’t go to the United States? No, she had to go to the United States!

But now…

She lazily yawned and sincerely said to her father: “I thought about it, you’re right, I finally came back home, I should stay in China to go to school, so I can spend more time with you.”

She didn’t want to eat white people’s food at all.

More importantly, in the next twenty years, China’s development would enter a golden period, even if she was a lazy fish, she would be able to fly on the wind!

Jiang Xiuhou: ?

Gu Desheng: ??

Gu Qingwei: ???

Under the stunned gaze of the three, Sheng Weixia yawned and went straight to the third floor, back to her room.

The couple’s expressions were surprisingly consistent at this time, they looked at her seemingly casual but composed back, and their hearts were full of suspicion.

Jiang Xiuhou’s vague feeling in her heart became clearer at this moment, how did she manage to transform overnight, did she pretend before?

Gu Desheng thought more practically, his biological daughter had changed her mind after going out, could it be that some business rival had said something to her, trying to undermine internal unity?

Only Gu Qingwei was thinking about her own business.

She finally started to feel scared, today she was only thinking about not letting Sheng Weixia ride in Yu Shi’s car alone, she rushed to follow, she didn’t pay attention to Yu Shulan.

According to this young lady’s hot temper, she might be cursing right now, she had to hurry, no, she had to go to the Yu family tomorrow to appease her.

After all, it was her and Yu Shulan who came up with the idea to get Yu Shi’s beloved dog Wu Biao out of the Yu family’s mansion to scare Sheng Weixia, she couldn’t let this outspoken young lady put all the blame on her!

Sheng Weixia didn’t think about how the three people downstairs would think, she happily called for Aunt Zhao to scrub the bathtub and fill it with hot water.

Aunt Zhao asked uncertainly: “Scrub, scrub the bathtub?”

Her eyes added the unspoken words, can you take a bath?

In her previous life, when Sheng Weixia first returned to the Gu family, she couldn’t stand this kind of look that saw her as a country bumpkin, so she did everything herself and never asked them to do any work.

But she didn’t know that this only fueled their contempt.

Sheng Weixia stopped in her tracks at this question, she carefully instructed: “Just scrub the brush clean and then wipe it with alcohol, boiling water is too troublesome, I’m very tired now, please finish it within ten minutes.”

No one knows how to use a maid from the beginning.

Jiang Xiuhou hadn’t taught her, she learned it slowly after she returned to China and used a live-in maid.

Aunt Zhao stood there for a long time trying to understand. She knew how to scrub the bathtub, but she had to wipe it with alcohol?

There were two bathrooms on the second floor, Jiang Xiuhou and Gu Qingwei didn’t use them often, they just simply washed themselves every time, why were they so particular?

When Sheng Weixia finally got into the bath, Gu Desheng and his wife were sitting in the room, looking at each other with heavy hearts.

Gu Desheng pointed upstairs: “Do you think she really decided not to go abroad, is she digging a hole for me? I feel a little uneasy.”

Jiang Xiuhou rarely disagreed with him, she calmly agreed: “I’m uneasy too, should we compensate her with something? My brother called and said that we should treat Xia’s return home as a big deal.”

When it came to her elder brother, who always overshadowed her, Gu Desheng felt a little uncomfortable: “She’s just a child, besides, it’s not a good thing, what kind of big deal? But if we talk about compensation, I think it’s okay, this girl suffered in the countryside, what kind of good life could the Sheng family give her?”

He started to calculate.

If she didn’t go to the United States, how much tuition and living expenses could be saved in four years, he took a deep breath after calculating.

Jiang Xiuhou: “My brother said that last year, Lin’s youngest daughter was admitted to a university in Beijing, they directly bought a piece of land in Beijing, and they said it was their daughter’s dowry. Now, how many people want to be related to their family, they have a degree and land, what a decent dowry!”

Gu Desheng glared at her: “Do you believe that kind of nonsense? Maybe it’s under old man Lin’s name!”

But these words gave him an idea, it was a bit difficult for the Gu family to buy land, but it was no problem to buy a house, it would also be decent—at least it would look like they were treating them equally.

The couple reached an agreement, and they were about to announce it at breakfast the next day when the doorbell rang.

Aunt Zhao opened the door, A Jiu came in with two bags of gifts, everyone in the family except Sheng Weixia stopped their chopsticks, their expressions were all colorful.

Didn’t he just come last night?

Gu Desheng got up: “Why are you here so early, A Jiu? Have you had breakfast?”

A Jiu bowed apologetically, putting down the things: “Sorry for coming so early. I’m troubling you, Mr. Gu, I’m here on behalf of my boss to invite Miss Sheng.”

Miss Sheng.

Gu Desheng finally realized something was wrong, they hadn’t changed Sheng Weixia’s surname yet, it sounded strange.

Gu Qingwei blinked, suppressing the suspicion in her eyes: “Brother Yu Shi wants to see my sister, what for?”

“It’s like this, my boss said that Miss Shulan made a big mistake last night, she should have come to apologize herself, but she’s been put under house arrest, so I have to trouble Miss Sheng to go to the Yu family’s old mansion.” A Jiu patiently explained.

The Yu family’s old mansion, it doesn’t usually receive guests.

They, who played with the two Yu family sisters, had never been there.

Gu Qingwei looked stunned: “It doesn’t have to be like that… right?! It was just a game yesterday.” She looked at Sheng Weixia, “Sister, tell me, are you not angry?”

The Gu family couple were confused, but they grasped the key point: Yu Shi, inviting their daughter to the Yu family’s old mansion!

Everyone was waiting for her to respond. Sheng Weixia didn’t look at Gu Qingwei’s pleading eyes, she swallowed her soy milk, and calmly said: “I’m angry.”

Anyone who was deliberately tricked like that, even under the guise of a game, almost hurt, would not be able to remain indifferent.

A Jiu followed suit: “When are you free, I’ll come to pick you up?”

The Gu family’s telephone rang inopportunely.

“I’ll answer the phone.” Gu Desheng impatiently picked up the receiver.

Who is it? Spoiling the mood!

As his mind raced, he had a thought for the first time: Why can’t Qingwei see the situation? Of course, she has to seize the opportunity to go to the Yu family! In the eyes of those who are interested, this is ironclad evidence that the children of the two families are close!

The other side sneered: “Mr. Gu, are you doing something immoral because you’re rich? You took my daughter, who I raised for eighteen years, and said she’s yours, when will my own daughter come back? Oh, and my good daughter’s university admission letter, if you want to take it, you have to show some sincerity!”

The other party’s voice was very loud, everyone in the living room could hear clearly.

A Jiu took a step back, leaving a sentence to contact by phone, then turned and left.

“You’re full of shit!” Gu Desheng cursed, “Your wife stole my daughter! If she hadn’t been sick to death, I would have sued her and she would have spent the rest of her life in prison! You dare to ask for money?!”

With a bang, Gu Desheng slammed down the receiver.

The admission letter has arrived! Sheng Weixia was overjoyed.

Gu Qingwei turned pale: “Dad, I don’t want to go!”

The couple hurriedly coaxed: “No! Of course we won’t go.”

Sheng Weixia glanced at them, the family of three looked very warm, making her feel very superfluous.

In her previous life, this phone call also happened, but at that time, she was determined to go abroad, so naturally she didn’t call the school to confirm the admission letter.

Gu Desheng knew the depths of the rural areas below Jinzhong City.

He had partnered with others to contract coal mines a few years ago, if it hadn’t been for his father-in-law being the village secretary at that time, and his elder brother being promising, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get land from the farmers.

In the 1970s and 1980s, farmers dared to use hoes to break the legs of coal bosses.

So, even though it wasn’t so lawless now, Gu Desheng didn’t dare to go to the countryside easily.

But understanding didn’t mean agreement.

Sheng Weixia looked calm: “I’m not afraid.”

These words made Gu Desheng’s face flush slightly: “I’m telling you, don’t go by yourself, this matter needs to be arranged, we not only have to consider Qingwei, but also your household registration needs to be moved back, your surname needs to be changed, there are a lot of things to do.”

So he remembered the household registration issue.

In her previous life, Sheng Weixia never returned to China, so naturally she didn’t need a household registration booklet, later she followed the foreign boss to Shanghai to prepare for the domestic branch, when she bought a house and got a blue-print household registration, she went back to Tianzhao Village to handle this matter herself.
