Chapter 1034: Chapter 31

"This, this..."

Le Zhengpeng was so anxious, he was turning circles on the spot.

He couldn’t do anything to Aunt Gu, so he could only look at Gu Xiaoning.

"Ningning, you’re a good child... You’re sensible. Talk to your mother properly."

"Hey." Gu Xiaoning nodded with a smile.

But Aunt Gu pulled her over, "Talk to me about what? Our Ningning is a good child, but... being a good child doesn’t mean she’s easy to bully. I know, now you’re interested in the two in her belly, but we’re not selling children!"

As she spoke, she pulled Gu Xiaoning, "Come, go home with mom!"

"Hey hey hey..." Le Zhengpeng was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do.

Even if he had many mouths, he couldn’t overcome Aunt Gu’s attitude.

"Dear in-law, dear in-law..."

Aunt Gu ignored him, muttering, "This old man, what’s he yelling? He’s old and probably senile!"

"Hey, you..."

Le Zhengpeng followed behind Aunt Gu, but he was helpless.

Watching Aunt Gu pack things, ready to take Gu Xiaoning away.

Le Zhengpeng was anxious and quickly called Le Zhengsheng.

"Dad, what’s up? I’m busy right now! Once I finish, I’ll head home!" Le Zhengsheng answered the phone, sounding quite impatient.

"Tsk!" Le Zhengpeng was also annoyed, "It’s urgent! Your mother-in-law is stopping me from taking Ningning home! What should I do?"

"Hmm?" Le Zhengsheng listened and laughed.

"Haha... Dad, this is all your fault. You started this mess, who asked you to drive my mother-in-law away? Well, since you drove her away, shouldn’t you apologize? I’m telling you, my mother-in-law isn’t one to easily budge!"

"You brat, how can you blame me? I didn’t know about the situation!"

"I can’t handle it now either! I’ll hang up first... I’m busy!"

Le Zhengpeng was at a loss, "You brat! Hey... hey?"

On the other end, Le Zhengsheng had really hung up!

"Dear in-law..." Le Zhengpeng followed them.

"Ningning, get in the car!"

Aunt Gu stuffed her daughter into the car, got in herself, and with a ’bang’, closed the car door.

Le Zhengpeng: "..."

What is this situation!

The car drove off, Gu Xiaoning looked at her mother, "Mom... isn’t this bad?"

"You silly child." Aunt Gu poked her daughter’s forehead.

"How can you not hold grudges? Have you forgotten how he treated you back then? Mom is helping you deal with him! It was that old man who made me work as a janitor for two years in a hotel! Hmph! Even drove me away! My daughter has done so much! Just seeing that old man makes me angry! We can’t just go back easily, I need to vent!"

Gu Xiaoning: "..."

Turns out, her mother was angry about this.

If that’s the case, then... there’s really nothing she can do.

Only, she returned to the apartment where Aunt Gu lived.

In the evening, Gu Xiaoning received a call from Le Zhengsheng.

"What are you doing?" Le Zhengsheng whispered, afraid that raising his voice might scare her away.

Gu Xiaoning lay in bed, "I’m lying down taking your call."

"Tsk." Le Zhengsheng laughed, "Is my dad angry?"

"Hmm." Gu Xiaoning replied, "My mom did it on purpose, what should we do?"

"No problem." Le Zhengsheng was completely unconcerned, "My dad is senile, he caused this trouble, he should fix it! Anyway, the old man has retired and has nothing to do, it’s good to give him something to occupy him, haha..."

Gu Xiaoning laughed, "Is this right?"

"It’s okay, don’t worry... just take care of yourself, right now you and the baby are the most important."

Gu Xiaoning listened to his words, gently placing her hand on her belly, "I’m really worried right now, his attitude, he certainly wants a grandson... What if both are..."

"Tsk!" Le Zhengsheng was unhappy, "What are you saying? Uncle? Uncle?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning pursed her lips, "Oh, dad."

"Hmm." Le Zhengsheng grumbled, "That’s better—my dear, don’t overthink, son and daughter are the same, aren’t they both my children? Do you think I don’t love Jiujiu? I even used my place in the family ranking as Jiujiu’s nickname."

"Hmm." Gu Xiaoning still wasn’t assured, "But dad..."

"The elderly are like this. Besides, how old are you!" Le Zhengsheng coaxed her, "In a few years, we can have more, right?"

"...Hmm."

"My love."

"Hmm?" Gu Xiaoning listened to the quiet and somewhat unclear sound on the other end, "What’s this?"

"Can you hear it? I’m kissing you."

In the darkness, Gu Xiaoning smiled, pursing her lips, "...Oh."

——

Pei Pei returned home from Qiupu, not expecting anyone to be in the apartment.

She changed her shoes at the entrance and upon entering, saw her brother and sister-in-law on the sofa.

"Sis."

Her brother and sister-in-law exchanged glances, promptly stood up, and smiled warmly at Pei Pei.

"Sis... you’re back? We didn’t know you’d return today. I’ll ask Tingting to make dinner!"

Pei Pei kept a stern face, listening to the couple’s little act.

She reached up to smooth her hair and directly said, "Spit it out, how much do you need this time?"

"Sis, not much..." Her brother raised two fingers.

Pei Pei’s heart sank to the bottom, finally breaking out.

"You really take me as an ATM! I’m not a money-printing machine!"

"Sis, what’s wrong? Aren’t you really good at earning money? Also, you could just mention it to Mr. Kang..."

"Ugh!"

Pei Pei was going crazy, immediately opening the door, dragging her brother and sister-in-law, "Get out! Get out! Hurry up and leave!"

Her brother and sister-in-law couldn’t react, just like that they were driven out of the house.

"Sis, sis!"

They kept knocking, but Pei Pei shook her head desperately, covering her ears, she didn’t want to hear, didn’t want to hear!

All because of them, they ate well but did nothing, couldn’t do anything, but insisted on learning to play the stock market and do business, ending up losing everything! That time, the losses were huge, even Pei Pei couldn’t cover them.

Back then, Pei Pei and Lu Yuxuan fell out.

Kang Sir had been pursuing her, secretly covering the gap for her!

Faced with Kang Sir’s great kindness, Pei Pei’s gratitude was so insignificant?

Kang Sir simply said, "Peipei, you know I like you... no need to thank me, just date me! Okay?"

So, they started dating...

And this became one of the key reasons Fu Mingzhu and Helian Shuang refuse to accept her to this day!

Actress, plus she had a fiancé, and he was the Holy City’s famous Kang Family’s son, with a family waiting for her to support them...

To be honest, Pei Pei doesn’t blame Fu Mingzhu or Helian Shuang; she only blames herself... why was there such a huge difference in status with Lu Yuxuan?

Truly, the old saying is right, no matter the era, being well-matched is very much a real issue.

"Ah—"

Pei Pei leaned against the door, her body sliding down.

With red eyes, she mumbled, "If only, he was really just a journalist, how great would it be?"

Recalling the scene when she first met Lu Yuxuan, but alas... there is no ’if’ in this world. Lu Yuxuan is, after all, a child of privilege.
