The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

When Gao Qinghe thought Weng Yehua's appearance was already awkward.

And then something even more awkward happened.

Gu Jingzhou and his sister Gu Wen appeared, supporting the old lady on either side.

At that moment, even the system on Gao Qinghe, which had been excitedly squealing, fell silent.

The elders, completely unaware of the situation, only felt that the atmosphere among these young people was a bit strange, but they still continued to congratulate the protagonists of the day, Gao Qingsong and his wife.

Gu Jingzhou glanced at the man next to Hao Huaping. To be honest, at first glance, he didn't find the man particularly endearing.

He seemed like a cramped groundhog, looking like he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

To Gu Jingzhou's surprise, Hao Huaping's boyfriend's attention was entirely on Gao Qinghe.

Zhou Zhenghua never expected that he would actually see Gao Qinghe here.

Furthermore, the other party is an important relative of the main characters at today's wedding banquet, and can be considered half a host.

Of course, he had also heard that Gao Qinghe's father's family had come to reunite with them. They seemed to be doing quite well, as they had arrived in a Jeep and had foreign relatives with them.

Perhaps it was because of the information about foreign relatives that Zhou Zhenghua had a preconceived notion and never expected that the protagonist of today's wedding banquet, Gao Qingsong, would be from the same family as Gao Qinghe.

That's why he reacted with such shock, yet with a desperate attempt to control his out-of-control behavior.

"Grandma Gu, Sister Wenwen."

Hao Huaping reacted much faster, and with Zhou Zhenghua by her side, she introduced her boyfriend to the three members of the Gu family in a generous manner.

It's as if what happened between her and Gu Jingzhou has become an unimportant past.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Gu felt awkward about bringing up the younger generation's childhood stories again. She simply smiled politely, left her granddaughter and grandson, and came to Jiang Qiyue, asking with loving kindness:

"Little one, do you still remember your great-grandmother?"

Jiang Qiyue nodded. She remembered, but forgot what to call him. The little guy looked to his mother for help.

Gao Qinghe smiled and reminded him, "This is Gu's great-grandmother. Baby, Mommy has a task for you. Can you take Great-Grandma Gu to find Great-Grandma Gu?"

"Yes!" Jiang Qiyue said confidently, knowing where her great-grandmother was.

She immediately reached out her little hand to Grandma Gu and led her to find Huo Jinyu.

Grandma Gu gave Gao Qinghe a reassuring look and followed the little one into the banquet hall.

Hao Weiming either didn't notice the awkward atmosphere or genuinely wanted the young people to interact more.

Hao Huaping and Zhou Zhenghua were left behind, while Gao Chongli went inside to greet the people.

Suddenly, only the embarrassed Weng Yehua and his companions remained outside the hall.

Gao Qingsong, who was still greeting guests at the front, looked at this group of people and frowned slightly.

The bride, Huili, asked softly, "Why does Mayor Hao's daughter's boyfriend keep staring at our little sister?"

"Your second son's eyes were fixed on Mayor Hao's daughter. Do they know each other?"

Remembering the Gu siblings, she softly asked Gao Qingsong:
"Gu's family knows the younger sister? I feel like there's something strange about the atmosphere among these people."

Gao Qingsong shook his head; he didn't know either.

The young man here only knew that his younger brother, Weng Yehua, had liked a girl when he was stationed in the village, but it seemed that he was rejected.

Just as the couple were wondering what was going on, Gao Qinghe, who had been about to speak, finally had a chance to greet them.

She even looked specifically at the couple and explained to them the complicated relationship between these people.

He first pointed to Zhou Zhenghua, "Brother and sister-in-law, this is our neighbor in the village. He just divorced his ex-wife and has a child."

Pointing to Hao Huaping, he continued, "She was a former teacher at our county's No. 1 Middle School. I heard someone reported that she and my neighbor had questionable personal conduct, so she resigned and came back to hide."

As if suddenly realizing she couldn't say it, Gao Qinghe quickly covered her mouth.

After a pause, under Eri's bright and sparkling gaze, she continued her introduction.

Pointing at Weng Yehua: "He pursued Teacher Hao."

Pointing at Gu Jingzhou: "He also pursued Hao."

"you shut up!"

Gu Wen interrupted, giving Gao Qinghe a warning glare, wondering how she knew so much.

But she'd better not say it! Gao Qinghe shrugged. "In short, Teacher Hao is very popular, and so is my neighbor. They're birds of a feather flock together. Sorry, I've said too much again."

Leaving behind a hesitant expression that left them to ponder, Gao Qinghe called her stunned younger brother and, before they could react, leisurely departed.

Weng Yehua finally realized who he had lost to.

He glanced at Gu Jingzhou in surprise, thinking, "I didn't expect you to like her too!"

Then, he scrutinized Zhou Zhenghua from head to toe.

"You've been divorced?" Weng Yehua asked sharply.

Zhou Zhenghua was relieved that Hao Weiming wasn't there. He nodded slightly, clearly reluctant to admit it, and asked Weng Yehua in return:

"I'm divorced, but so what?"

Weng Yehua scoffed, unmoved by his words, and pointed directly at Hao Huaping, asking:

"Did you get divorced because of her?"

"Would you believe me if I said no?" Zhou Zhenghua asked again.

Weng Yehua shrugged, not caring how the person answered; he only believed what his sister said.

Weng Yehua glanced at Hao Huaping, realizing that he had long since lost any feelings for her.

But the beautiful image he once held of her gradually crumbled, the glamorous exterior shattered, revealing the foul-smelling mud beneath.

He walked up to Gu Jingzhou and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, I feel a little comforted by your company."

Gu Jingzhou's smile crumbled, his face turned cold, he shook off the hand on his shoulder, and strode toward the banquet hall.

"Gao Qinghe!"

Just as Zhou Hao and his wife found their husband, who was playing with crickets in a corner, they turned around in confusion upon hearing the sound.

Gu Jingzhou stormed up to the two men.

Jiang Baohai stepped forward and shielded his wife behind him.

Gu Jingzhou pointed at Gao Qinghe, who was hiding behind her husband.

"You come out!"

Jiang Baohai's forehead vein throbbed. "Young Master Gu, I'm still here. Do you think I'm dead? My wife was just telling my older brother and sister-in-law some objective facts without knowing the truth. What's the rush?"

What is he anxious about?
Gu Jingzhou glared at the couple in front of him, annoyed. "That's ancient history, hundreds of years old. She could have kept quiet, but she insisted on saying it in front of everyone. Don't I feel ashamed?"

Gao Qinghe didn't understand. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and said:
"What's shameful about you? At most, you're blind. Zhou Zhenghua and the other man are the ones who are shameful."

"Or"

Her eyes darted around, and Gu Jingzhou instantly sensed something was wrong.

"Shut up."

Ultimately, we were still a step too late.

Gao Qinghe looked shocked: "You haven't forgotten her yet, and you're still heartbroken?"

If Jiang Baohai hadn't been there to stop him, Gu Jingzhou would have loved to shove his fist into Gao Qinghe's mouth to shut her up.

"I... you can forget about it, forget about it!"

The last sentence, "Never mind," was unclear whether it was addressed to Gao Qinghe or to himself.

Gao Qinghe nodded in satisfaction, "That's right. Wave goodbye and let's say goodbye to the past for good."

He wasn't angry with her at all; after all, everyone in the industry knew about the relationship between the Gu and Hao families.

He couldn't bear to see the girl he once loved humiliated and subjected to strange looks.

Gao Qinghe whispered to Jiang Baohai, "He's too kind."

Jiang Baohai looked at Gu Jingzhou with sympathy and shook his head, "Wife, forget it, don't bully him."

Gu Jingzhou: "."

Dare you call out the crickets any louder?! (End of Chapter)
