Chapter 176: Apologizing
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Two days later, Gu Fang rushed to Gu Li’s house with more than two catties of peach pastry and two bags of milk powder to apologize.
At that moment, Gu Li was still cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Gu Fang come in with something, she did not look good. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to sever ties? Why did you come to my house?”
The smile on Gu Fang’s face froze, but in order to do something, she had no choice but to put down the peach pastry and milk powder in her hand. “I’ve thought about what happened two days ago. I was too impulsive, but I’m doing this for Yao’s own good..
“That’s enough!” Gu Li interrupted Gu Fang and stared fixedly at her, as if she wanted to see through her!
Perhaps because of her guilty conscience, Gu Fang was shocked.
“Sis… why are you looking at me?”
Gu Li’s face was still dark. “Everyone knows what kind of person you are. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re planning!”
Gu Li’s words shocked Gu Fang. She trembled and said, “What can I plan? Even if I did scheme something in the past, I don’t now.”
After saying that, she placed the milk powder on the table as if she was presenting a treasure. “I’ve already thought it through. Since Yao has found a good man, as her aunt, I won’t worry for nothing. Yao is about to get married. As her aunt, I have to express my gratitude, right?”
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she took out a red packet from her pocket. “Take this as a token of my appreciation.”
Gu Li had a look of disbelief on her face. Was this a thousand-year-old iron tree that had bloomed? Gu Fang was such a stingy person, but she was actually willing to give a red packet?
Gu Li touched it. There was at least 30 yuan!
Although her relationship with Gu Fang was not good, she was still her biological sister after all. Moreover, there was an old saying, ‘One should not slap a smiling person’.
Even though Gu Fang had offended her previously, she had still given her a gift. Gu Li thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a problem to stay for a meal, but if you still want to urge Yao to work in the county city, don’t blame me for being angry with you!”
Yesterday, she had asked Lin Shu about it. Other than the state-run restaurants, there were only small private restaurants in the county. The only famous one was a tavern. The girls inside were mostly indecent!
“No! I really want Yao to be happy!” Gu Fang said sincerely.
Gu Li only said a few irrelevant words before asking Gu Fang to leave.
Gu Fang’s expression was ugly. If it was in the past, how could Gu Li be so arrogant in front of her?
However, in order for her daughter to marry Zuo Huo successfully, Gu Fang smiled apologetically. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore. Eh? Why isn’t Yao here?”
Gu Li said, “Yao? She went to Sangqiu City with Zuo Huo to take photos. She said that the photos taken by the photo studio in town are too old-fashioned. She wanted to enter the city to take a look and buy some wedding candy!”
“I see…” Gu Fang pursed her lips, jealous of Song Yao from the bottom of her heart.
Back then, when she had married Chen Feng while pregnant, she had not even held a wedding, let alone taken wedding photos. Song Yao was a second-hand good who had been divorced and even had a burden. How could she have such a good life?
Gu Fang held back from saying what was on her mind and smiled apologetically. “I’m relieved to see that she’s doing so well.”
Gu Li’s face was still gloomy. She did not believe Gu Fang’s sudden change.
“It’s getting late. You should go back first. Show up on the 15th of the first lunar month. You don’t have to contact us anymore.”
Unexpectedly, Gu Li took the initiative to mention severing ties with her. Gu Fang gritted her teeth in anger, but she smiled and said, “I don’t expect Sister to forgive me. As long as I can see Yao happy, as her aunt, I’m happier than anything.”
After she finished speaking, Gu Li didn’t react. She stood up and said, “Since there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she even took a bag of milk powder with her!
Who would apologize like this?
Song Xiao’s face darkened. “You don’t have to let her attend my sister’s wedding!”
Gu Li stared at Gu Fang’s back as she walked away. “One shouldn’t hit a smiling person. Anyway, our family doesn’t lack those things. If she comes over, she’ll have to give gifts.”
Song Xiao pouted at the place where Gu Fang had just sat.
Who knew what Gu Fang was up to?
