Gu Family Villa is located halfway up the mountain in Crescent Bay.
The scenery here is beautiful. There is a Crescent Lake at the foot of the mountain, and nearby residents often come here to play and fish. There is a villa area on the mountain, and there is also a forest park. The air is fresh, and it is a residential area very suitable for retirement and recuperation.
The vehicle drove into the Gu family villa.
As soon as the driver stopped the car, he saw a young man with a schoolbag rushing out from the small garden next to him, opening the car door himself and helping Gu Jiu out of the car.
"Sister, you're back." The boy said happily.
Gu Jiu tilted his head to look at him, "Mingli is waiting for me here specially?"
Gu Mingli said with a smile: "Of course I'm waiting for you! Why did you go out today without telling us? I have been waiting for you here after school. If I hadn't asked grandma and knew the time you would be back, I would have gone to Qingzhu House to pick you up and take you home together."
Gu Jiu reached out and pinched his face accurately, "Did you do something bad?"
"No, I'm a poor senior high school student. I'm busy studying and doing exercises every day. How can I have time to do bad things?" Gu Mingli cried out in injustice. Seeing that she just looked at him and smiled without saying anything, he grunted, "Actually, I got a girlfriend recently... Sister, you and I are the best in the world. I will only tell you this secret, and you must not tell anyone else in the family!"
Gu Jiu was surprised and asked, "How can you get a girlfriend when you are such a loser?"
She opened her eyes wide, wanting to see clearly what the boy looked like now. He actually had a girlfriend
Gu Mingli snorted proudly. He was very charming. He was named the school idol when he entered the school. He was the school idol for three years. Most of the girls in the school were his admirers. How could he not have a girlfriend
Gu Jiu couldn't stand his pride, so she exposed the boy's thoughts, "You not only want me to keep it a secret, but also to cover for you so that you can date your girlfriend, right?" She used both hands to pull the boy's handsome face, "I don't object to your premature love, but it can't affect your studies, otherwise I will break your dog legs first."
Although these words were spoken softly, they made Gu Mingli shiver.
He knew that if he did something bad, she would really break his legs, and no matter whether it was his loving grandmother, his parents, his older brother or his sister-in-law, not only would they not stop her, but they would help her pass the weapon.
Gu Mingli immediately swore to heaven that he would never delay his studies. Love would make people study hard and make progress every day, and would make him a better person.
He would also urge his girlfriend to study with him and make progress together.
Gu Jiu smiled and patted his dog's head, "Remember your promise! Okay, I will help you if you need me."
"Don't worry, sister. When my next monthly exam results come out, you'll know that I won't let my relationship affect my studies." He glanced at the door and whispered, "If I wasn't afraid that my parents would have a mixed match, I wouldn't have thought of hiding it from them."
There's nothing he can do about it. His parents are of the older generation and believe that students shouldn't fall in love and should study hard.
Of course, his parents, who are of the older generation, automatically stepped aside when encountering Gu Jiu's affairs. No one else is so hypocritical.
Gu Jiu said, "It's not good to hide it. When your next monthly exam results come out, if you haven't regressed, I will go and tell my uncle and aunt in person."
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind. You are indeed my sister."
Gu Mingli immediately happily took her arm and walked into the house, acting like the best sister in the world.
It was almost dinner time at the Gu family's house, and the air was filled with the unique aroma of food.
Smelling the familiar scent of home, Gu Jiu's eyes revealed a gentle smile.
Except for Gu Mingjie who was still working overtime at the company, everyone else in the Gu family had returned home and were sitting in the living room with Old Mrs. Gu chatting.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Mrs. Gu immediately smiled and said in a kind voice, "Ajiu is back."
Others also greeted with a smile, in loud voices, as if they were afraid that Gu Jiu didn't hear it.
Gu Jiu also had a bright smile on his face, "Grandma, uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, Xiao Qing'er, I'm back."
Gu Mingli helped Gu Jiu over and said, "Grandma, you have to praise me. I waited for my sister to come back at the door."
"And me, I'm waiting for my aunt to come back too." Gu Yiqing, who was eating egg custard, raised her hand and said, "In order to wait for my aunt, I'm not eating any rice, I'm just eating egg custard."
This made everyone present laugh.
Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Be good, be good."
Gu Jiu listened to the voice and sat down next to Old Lady Gu naturally. He took her arm, leaned his face on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Grandma, is dinner ready? I'm hungry."
Although she was not very hungry, the smell of the delicious food at home made her very hungry.
After staying in the Cursed Village game dungeon for a few days, even though her heart mirror was strong, she did not suffer any negative effects. In fact, she became more attached to her home.
Hearing her say she was hungry, the Gu family immediately prepared to eat without any principles.
"Brother hasn't come back yet? Should we wait for him?" Gu Jiu asked.
Sister-in-law Song Qinghe smiled and said, "No need to wait for him. He has an appointment tonight and won't be back until very late."
Only then did Gu Jiu smile and followed everyone obediently to the restaurant to eat.
No one present walked fast. Even Gu Yiqing, who was only three years old, knew that her aunt's eyesight was not good and needed to be accommodated, so she ran over and held her hand, looking at her with a pair of black grape-like eyes, twinkling.
The child said in a baby voice: "Auntie, I will hold your hand and walk with you. I can walk very steadily, more steadily than my uncle."
Gu Jiu smiled and praised: "Well, our Xiao Qing'er is the best."
The children became happier as they were praised, and when they saw that everyone was looking at them, they immediately straightened their faces to make themselves look more mature and steady.
This little adult looked very much like his father, Gu Mingjie, which made everyone present laugh.
But this smile turned bitter when he saw Gu Jiu's gloomy eyes.
The Gu family does not follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. The dining table is often lively, with the family talking about their day's experiences while eating, and the atmosphere is warm.
The Gu family does not have many people. Old Mrs. Gu and Old Man Gu have one son and two daughters, the eldest son Gu Jiasheng, the eldest daughter Gu Jiaqi, and the second daughter Gu Jiayin.
Gu Jiasheng and his wife have two sons, the eldest son Gu Mingjie and the second son Gu Mingli.
Gu Mingjie is married with his wife Song Qinghe. Their son Gu Yiqing is now three years old and is already in kindergarten.
The eldest daughter, Gu Jiaqi, is Gu Jiu's mother. She died of illness when Gu Jiu was young.
The second daughter, Gu Jiayin, married a university professor and now has two sons and lives a happy life.
Because she lost her mother at a young age, Gu Jiu was taken back to the Gu family by Old Mrs. Gu. She grew up in the Gu family and took after her mother. The Gu family members are her relatives.
It can be said that among Mrs. Gu’s three children, the eldest daughter, Gu Jiaqi, had the worst fate, so Mrs. Gu loved her the most, and as a result, she also loved Gu Jiu very much.
Although Gu Jiu is a granddaughter, in the hearts of the Gu family, she is the child of the Gu family and is called the eldest daughter of the Gu family.
In addition, she was born prematurely and suffered from congenital amblyopia, so the Gu family loved her even more.
After dinner, Gu Mingli went back to his room to do his homework, while the others sat in the living room eating fruit and watching the evening news.
Gu Jiu sat lazily next to Old Lady Gu, eating the fruit fed by her nephew, looking like an evil landlord from the old times.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
"Aunt, someone called you." Gu Yiqing said in a hoarse voice, her voice was very loud.
Song Qinghe, who was sitting next to him, took a subconscious look. When she saw the name of the caller ID, she frowned slightly and shook her head slightly at the Gu family members who were looking at her.
Little Gu Yiqing took care of his aunt as usual, helping her press the answer button and press the speakerphone.
"Ajiu, have you eaten?"
Hearing this voice, Mrs. Gu held the frame of her reading glasses with a calm expression, while Gu Jiasheng and his wife did not hide the disgust on their faces.
Gu Jiu was surprised and asked, "Why did you call me suddenly?"
Because of this overly direct question, the other end remained silent for a while.
After a while, the other side said somewhat unhappy: "Ajiu, I am your father, isn't it normal to care about you?"
"You don't have to care about me. Just care about Chen Zhiru, so that Chen Zhiru won't be angry that I stole her father." Gu Jiu said it more bluntly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with telling tales.
Chen Shishen was finally so angry at her that he lost his temper, but for some reason he endured it.
He said patiently: "I heard that your eyesight has been weakening recently. I have contacted a famous ophthalmologist from abroad to come to your home for an examination. You can come back in two days..."
"No need." Gu Jiu interrupted him, "Grandma and uncle took me abroad for examination a long time ago."
The implication is that she has been waiting for an unknown time to think of her biological father, and she must have gone blind long ago.
Chen Shishen was choked by the blockage and said reluctantly: "Mr. Wilson is a famous ophthalmologist abroad. It's rare to have an appointment with him this time. Why don't you check it out? Don't give up. Maybe it can be cured..."
"I haven't given up." Gu Jiu interrupted him again, "Who said I gave up? I'm fine. Maybe my eyes will return to normal in a few years."
After being refuted by her several times, Chen Shishen finally lost face and said, "It's up to you. Don't blame me for not caring about you if you go blind," and hung up the phone.
Hearing the words "Don't blame me for not caring about you if you go blind", the Gu family members next to them were immediately furious.
Uncle Gu Jiasheng said angrily, "If he hadn't begged me on his knees, would I have let my elder sister marry him? After my elder sister married him, he actually dared to do something to let her down. If it hadn't been for my elder sister's begging, I would have made him unable to stay in Haicheng! Who gave him the face to say such things?"
My aunt snorted coldly, "The Chen family has been doing quite well this year. I don't know where they got their connections and means. If the Chen family is going to get rich, he will naturally dare to come and shout at us."
In the past, when the Chen family saw the Gu family, they were like mice seeing a cat, and they would wish they could dig a hole in the ground and hide themselves.
Until this year, the Chen family's company developed rapidly. The Chen family thought they could suppress the Gu family and began to act arrogantly. When they met the Gu family, they even dared to come and provoke them.
In the past, Chen Shishen would never dare to say something like that in front of the Gu family.
Not only do the Chen family feel guilty, but they also don't have the strength to challenge the Gu family.
Gu Jiu didn't care too much. "Uncle, aunt, don't be angry, or you will get angry! The Chen family can do whatever they want, but my eyes will never go blind anyway."
Everyone thought she was comforting them. Even though they knew the condition of her eyes, in order not to make her sad, they could only force a smile and agree with her.
"Ajiu is right, you won't be blind."
Old Mrs. Gu touched her granddaughter's eyes, her eyes became moist.
