Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 209. The Play
Gu Kaiyuan also saw through it. He guessed it was some kind of honey trap. He didn't believe that many people present hadn't seen through it; they just wanted to see more excitement.

If Bai Suihe knew what he was thinking, she would despise herself. Her level of understanding was clearly insufficient. She was only thinking about watching the excitement for a moment, while he was already thinking about a TV series.

"Father, look," Xu Yulan was both angry and furious when she saw the three men from the Gu family staring at the three women. Just then, she looked at Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe and quickly reminded them, "Third brother and the others have come over too."

Gu Baijiang glanced at them but ignored them, continuing to stare at the mother and her two daughters in front of him.

Gu Kaiping reacted somewhat, nudging Gu Kaichen and saying, "Go and call them back now."

The commanding tone annoyed Gu Kaichen, especially since he wasn't in the mood to admire the beauty any longer.

"Don't rush, let's see how Lord Liu and his men handle this first. This poor young lady is too heartless, Lord Liu is too cruel."

Gu Kaiping wanted to roll his eyes. It was fine to admire a beautiful woman, but he shouldn't get involved.

He had a colleague who brought home a girl who had sold herself to pay for her father's funeral. Before he could even take her into his house, things were already in chaos. He didn't know what was going on with her now.

Just then, they heard people in front of them making a fuss, saying to bring the person along, and the shouts grew louder and louder. Gu Kaichen even joined in, and Gu Kaiping couldn't pull him back no matter what he tried.

"Dad, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Gu Kaiping couldn't understand why Gu Baijiang wasn't lecturing him this time.

"What did you say?"

Gu Kaiping, “…”

When Liu Yun and Xu Yulan saw this scene, they immediately had a bad feeling. Could it be that the old man was lusting after a woman and wanted to find them a cheap mother-in-law?

Having finally removed the mountain weighing us down, we have no choice but to bring back another one...

Xu Shuang's eyes were red from crying, but she didn't expect these grown men to show no sign of softening.

With a flick of her finger, Fan Meilin, who was to her left, tilted to the side and fell onto the snow in an extremely delicate posture.

The men who witnessed this scene felt a pang of pain in their hearts. If their families hadn't been watching them, they would have rushed forward immediately.

Bai Suihe was astonished; she could never learn this move in her entire life.

"What a master!" Bai Suihe couldn't help but give this acting a thumbs up. She had seen many film and television works, but none were stronger or more natural than this.

"What kind of expert?" Gu Kaiyuan kept a close eye on Bai Suihe and noticed that her ears were red from the cold. He quickly took the cloak from Dongmei and wrapped her tightly in it.

"Don't you think the way she fell down just now was quite graceful?"

Gu Kaiyuan frowned slightly. "I didn't notice, but the dizziness was too fake. Anyone with a little skill could tell."

Bai Suihe teased, "Isn't this quite in line with the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope? Don't you feel tempted to do it?"

Gu Kaiyuan couldn't help but raise his hand and lightly tap her head. "Read less of those mindless books, or you'll corrupt the children. I'll go find you some good books later."

When Bai Suihe was bored in the car these days, she liked to flip through those books and make comments from time to time. Gu Kaiyuan was amused by her a few times. If everyone had her unique insights, then his bookstore would not need to continue operating.

"That's how it's always written in storybooks: after a hero saves a damsel in distress, he either repays her with his body or is reborn as a cow or a horse in the next life to do so."

The choice depends on the hero's appearance, of course. If you step forward now, the reward won't be postponed to the next life.

Gu Kaiyuan: "What if you were the one going?"

Bai Suihe shook her head in shock, "What? You think I've lived too long? Haven't you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"

I wouldn't dare gamble with my life; I cherish my life very much.

The two people didn't lower their voices, and laughter came from the car next to them.

Bai Suihe was now in an awkward situation, unable to stop herself from making a scene for others to watch.

As the old saying goes, fortunes change, and while they are watching the show, aren't we also part of the spectacle in their eyes?

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself," said Madam Zhou as she lifted the curtain. All the women in the carriage stared at Bai Suihe with curiosity.

They knew Gu Kaiyuan and the others, but they weren't very familiar with Bai Suihe, a reclusive person.

This is Bai Suihe, who, even after being exiled, still received the wholehearted care of her maternal family. Indeed, women with good fortune tend to have more outgoing personalities.

“Madam Zhou,” Gu Kaiyuan nodded to them, then quickly looked away.

Upon hearing the address, Bai Suihe knew who it was and gave a slight curtsy, saying, "Greetings, Madam Zhou."

"An," Old Madam Zhou looked at Bai Suihe approvingly, "Mrs. Gu is truly insightful. I have learned a lot from these granddaughters today."

Bai Suihe smiled shyly, "Madam, you flatter me. I'm just an outsider, so I can see things more clearly."

Actually, many people noticed, but they were all just watching the show and didn't gossip like me.

Madam Zhou said, "...It was also our fault for being rude to the children just now. I apologize to you."

After all, it's one thing to eavesdrop, but to laugh out loud is truly rude of them.

Bai Suihe said, "Madam, you're overthinking it. I was just telling a joke. It's enough that it made everyone happy and brought them some joy."

As they talked, they put the previous incident behind them, but their impressions of each other improved.

“These old bones of mine must be tired from sitting in the car. We don’t know how long we’ll be delayed. Let’s all get out and stretch our legs,” said Madam Zhou, who also wanted to befriend Bai Suihe. She spoke to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter beside her.

They were initially worried about another robbery, but since there wasn't one, they could now walk around without worry.

The women of the Zhou family readily agreed, thinking that being able to watch the play openly and perhaps even have a chat with Madam Gu was the best thing ever.

Gu Kaiyuan couldn't stand there any longer, so he gave his seat to the two maids to protect Bai Suihe and stood guard not far away.

"You've found a good husband," Old Madam Zhou praised.

Bai Suihe: "It's pretty good."

Madam Zhou paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You're quite good too."

Bai Suihe nodded solemnly, "The old lady has excellent judgment."

The Zhou family women standing nearby were all surprised. They knew the old woman's personality well. She had been suppressed in the Zhou family for most of her life and rarely heard her laugh so heartily. Today, she had really made an exception for Bai Suihe.

Although I was curious, the events that followed were more captivating.

If they had previously sympathized with the three vulnerable women, now they see a different scene and observe more details.
