The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

Chapter 565  Hiding (3)

After splitting up from the family for almost a month, Gu Xiao looked a little more stable. His etiquette and words were flawless, but there was still a trace of discordant awkwardness in his expression.

"Thank you." Gu Yuan's voice was very indifferent. He didn't even look at the congratulatory gift Gu Xiao had given him and directly handed it to Wu Tong.

Afraid that Gu Yuan's next sentence would be an order to leave, Gu Xiao quickly sat down beside him. At the same time, he bowed to Fan Beiran and the others and was polite to everyone.

"Second Brother Fan, I saw you at the Tianyin Pavilion the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, you left too quickly, and I didn't have time to stop you." Gu Xiao chatted with Fan Beiran with a smile.

"Is that so?" Fan Beiran raised his eyebrows and felt that it was extremely rare. Gu Xiao had always been a little disrespectful in the past. When he felt that he was the future heir of the Marquis of Dingyuan, he wanted others to praise and respect him. He never disdained lowering himself.

Gu Xiao smiled and said, "If Second Brother Fan likes to watch the show, we can go to the Tianyin Pavilion together next time. I'll invite Second Brother Fan to watch the show…"

He spoke warmly, but Fan Beiran, who had known him for more than ten years, inexplicably felt his hair stand on end. He couldn't help but think: <nulli>Did Gu Xiao take the wrong medicine, or was he too traumatized by his father being stripped of his title?

Fan Beiran was in a daze. Gu Xiao's subsequent words entered his left ear and left his right ear. It was only when Gu Xiao repeatedly called him "Second Brother Fan" that he came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows.

Gu Xiao's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly squeezed out a smile and pointed out of the window. "I think I heard a baby crying. Did you hear that?"

Baby?

Everyone fell silent again. This time, Wu Tong gestured for the musician to stop playing the pipa.

When the interior and exterior of the water pavilion fell silent, everyone listened attentively. Vaguely, there seemed to be some crying in the wind, intermittently.

Fan Beiran, Lu Shi, and the others looked at each other.

"I understand!" Gu Xiao clapped and smiled. "Could it be that Big Brother has a bastard son?"

"Why didn't Big Brother tell me about such a joyous occasion earlier?"

For a family like theirs, it wasn't something to brag about if a man had a concubine's son before getting married. Instead, it was a scandal. Once word spread, a family with big rules wouldn't marry their daughter to such an unruly family at all.

Gu Xiao slowly took a sip of wine, and the corners of his lips curled up. He waited for his eldest cousin to change his expression and for Gu Yuan to look embarrassed.

He had never liked his eldest cousin. When his uncle was alive, Gu Yuan was a proud son of heaven. He was out of his reach, and everyone wanted him to learn from his eldest cousin.

Later on, his father inherited the title of nobility, and he became the future heir of the Marquis of Dingyuan. He should have been the center of attention. However, young masters like Lu Shi, Fan Beiran, and Yue Jun, who had famous families in the capital, still only interacted with Gu Yuan, the son of a sinner. They never took him seriously!

He didn't understand what was so good about Gu Yuan. Since he was the descendant of a criminal, he should behave himself and hide. However, Gu Yuan kept stealing the limelight. This chapter is updated by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet - novelenglish.net . bin

And now, the Marquis Mansion has even lost its title because of Gu Yuan. He could no longer be the heir!

At the thought of this, Gu Xiao's gaze darkened bit by bit. He looked like he was smiling, but his right hand that was holding the wine glass was tense.

He had tolerated Gu Yuan for a long time.

Gu Yuan smiled when he met Gu Xiao's provocative gaze. His laughter was as clear as the wind. His slender fingers casually played with the small white porcelain wine glass as he called her name. "Gu Xiao, did you forget to take your medicine before you left today?"

Gu Xiao was stunned.

Before he could react, Fan Beiran, Lu Shi, and the others were already laughing out loud. Lu Shi laughed until tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Xiao was a step slower before he understood that Gu Yuan was saying that he was sick.

The young man's face turned red bit by bit.

Lu Shi even added fuel to the fire and teased, "Gu Xiao, since you're sick, you can't stop taking this medicine."

"That's right, that's right." Young Master Fei Liu nodded repeatedly. "Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain. We might even become even more ill."

They said it as if Gu Xiao was really sick and they were just giving advice out of kindness.

Fan Beiran sighed and said, "Gu Xiao, you're only 14, not 40, right? Your memory is so bad that you don't even remember what happened last year. You should take some medicine to treat it."

Gu Xiao: "…"

Lu Shi continued enviously, "Ah Yuan was in the southwest for more than half a year last year. He was so free and distant. He's not like me!"
