Only Bully Her Alone (Part One)
“Father!”
Gu Yi hastily ran to the main hall. Upon entering, he happened to see Gu HuaiJiang chatting with madam Su.
Seeing him barge in while bringing the cold wind and a wet patch appearing beneath his feet, Gu HuaiJiang could not stop himself from furrowing his brow.
“What do I usually teach you guys?”
Gu Yi was the youngest, and when he was younger, had the worst health. Gu HuaiJiang had always been the most lenient with him…
Of course, this was only compared to Gu ShuBai and the others. Compared to the ways in which the children of other families were raised, it was still more strict.
Because of how he was raised, he was the most lively of the brothers, but he would not make mistakes with the more important rules.
What could make him so frantic today?
Madam Su was also quite shocked, forgetting what she was just about to say.
“Father, I… I’ve made a mistake. I will come back later.”
“Forget it, forget it, he must have something urgent to have come in such a rush. Just listen to what he has to say!”
Madam Su had spoken, thus Gu HuaiJiang would naturally give her face.
Gu Yi turned back around. Seeing that madam Su was also present, he suddenly felt a little too embarrassed to speak.
“Quickly come and warm yourself by the brazier. Look at how much snow is on you. Even your shoes are soaked.”
Madam Su directed for a brazier to be placed near him. Sure enough, placing both feet on it made him feel much warmer, and Gu Yi began to think.
“Eldest sister, there’s no need to worry too much about him. His health was not too good when he was younger. Taking care of him now will spoil him. Now, his condition is much better and is even a bit better than Gu Xiang and the others. There’s no need to worry about him.”
Madam Su smiled warmly. The two of them were not in any rush, thus they sipped tea while waiting for Gu Yi to speak.
After a long time, Gu Yi quietly said: “Father, I heard that you want to match YunYan with fourth brother. Is this true?”
“What did you say?”
Gu HuaiJiang had not heard clearly.
Gu Yi’s face immediately started to turn red.
He had finally managed to summon the courage to ask, so how could Gu HuaiJiang not have heard!
Hah!
“I, I was saying…”
“A man without the slightest bit of mettle, even a young girl like Yu Fu isn’t as twitchy as you are. What exactly is the matter?”
Some things could be tolerated, and others could not be tolerated. Being compared to a little girl, Gu Yi was naturally displeased.
With a rush of courage, he blurted, “Father, I want to marry the tomboy!”
When he beat around the bush, he really beat around the bush. When he was direct, he was really direct.
Madam Su nearly spat out a mouthful of tea. Forcefully suppressing a smile, she used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth.
There was not much of a reaction from Gu HuaiJiang. Looking carefully, he was faintly smiling.
Based on the way the two looked… why did it seem like they knew a long time ago?
Gu Yi was young and did not understand this sort of sequence of events.
“You came too late. Father has already engaged YunYan to your fourth brother. In the future, she will be your fourth sister-in-law. Pay attention to how you address her.”
Fourth sister-in-law?
Gu Yi was so angry that his face was bright red, “But father, she doesn’t like fourth brother, and fourth brother doesn’t like her! Didn’t you say that you would let us marry the girls that we like? Why are you breaking your promise?”
“YunYan is different from other girls. Father and your aunt have already discussed it and needed to choose one for her. Right now, it’s your aunt who has taken an interest in your fourth brother, and father feels that this is quite good.”
Gu Yi looked at madam Su and suddenly understood the most important part.
This was to say that as long as madam Su thought highly of him, Su YunYan could be engaged to him, was that not right?
“Aunty, do you no longer love me? Where am I lacking compared to fourth brother?”
He partially squatted down next to madam Su and acted spoiled, making use of all the tricks he knew.
“Aunty, when I was little, didn’t you say that you loved me the most? Why is it that when you have something nice, you didn’t think of me and only thought of fourth brother?”
“How is marrying YunYan a good thing for you? Aunty recalls that you two were on bad terms, thus I never considered you.”
Madam Su replied with a question, which made Gu Yi’s face turn even redder.
“That’s not being on bad terms! That’s just two childhood sweethearts enjoying their childhood together. When others have bullied me for no reason, I have never bothered to fight back. Ever since childhood, I have only ever bullied her alone!”
So it was like that.
Madam Su covered her mouth with a handkerchief and quietly laughed, while Gu HuaiJiang slightly shook his head at her.
Do not let this brat off so easily, lest he not know how to cherish her in the future.
“So you liked YunYan and didn’t hate YunYan? How can this be good? Looking at YunYan, she doesn’t…”
“Says who! She likes me. She only likes me! If you don’t believe it, just wait for a little. I will go and bring her to have her tell aunty! Aunty, just wait for me!”
Saying this, he rapidly stood up to rush out when a person suddenly leaped out from behind a screen, “Hey! Where are you running off to look for me?”
It was Su YunYan!
Gu Yi’s eyes widened and looked at Gu HuaiJiang and madam Su in disbelief.
The two elders enigmatically exchanged a look, no longer able to hold back their smiles.
Very well, he had been plotted against by the two old-timers…
Su YunYan’s face was very red, as she slowly walked over, “Weren’t you going to look for me? I’m right here. What are you looking for me for?”
The two stood facing one another, blushing furiously. They smiled foolishly for a long time, yet did not say anything of value.
Gu HuaiJiang coughed dryly.
His foolish son really made him worried.
“Oh, that, father said that he would marry you to me. What do you think?”
Gu HuaiJiang had just taken a sip of tea, and now that tea was caught in his throat. With a hand on his chest, he began coughing.
Gu Yi could tell that he was really coughing this time.
