Chapter 28 - The Two-Faced Little Boy (2/2)

…..

After solving this big problem, Yi Ran was in a good mood for the rest of the day. When she saw the nasty Shi Xiang, she even gave him a genial expression. Anyway, his unlucky days were coming.

In the evening, Gu Tingchuan invited Gu Tingyong and his son over for dinner. Yi Ran will be meeting her brother-in-law for the first time so she wanted to cook a few dishes to make herself appear as a good wife.

But, Gu Tingchuan understood that she had been working hard at the school. Moreover, he was afraid she might actually burn the dishes.

After listening to his reasoning, Yi Ran felt that she really couldn’t refute his words at all…

In the end, a Chinese chef was invited to over to cook fresh food. Yi Ran felt that since she had married into the Gu family, she had not only been fattened a few pounds, but her taste buds had also become more and more discerning.

Seeing Yi Ran’s mouth selling cuteness, Gu Tingchuan thought that it was very entertaining.

Actually, to become a good director, it was important to have insight into the nature of people. Up until now, he had only truly begun to understand her personality.

Sometimes, she was gentle and sweet-tempered, but then became feisty.

Sometimes, she was simpleminded and very considerate.

Yi Ran discovered that Gu Tingchuan was standing silently being her, watching as she artistically arranged the cut fruits on the fruit plate. They were standing so close that only a few meters separated them. He reached out from behind her and picked up a piece to put into his mouth. Then, looking down at her, he smiled lightly and said, “It’s kind of sweet.”

Yi Ran glanced up at him. His face lowered, as if he was bending his head down to kiss her. She blinked and smiled, but when they were about to kiss, the doorbell rang.

Gu Tingchuan gave a sigh and could only turn around to open the door. Yi Ran followed behind him curiously. At first glance, she felt that the two brothers were similar to each other.

Gu Tingyong wore a straight-cut suit with shiny leather shoes on his feet. It was the usual dress style of the elite men. He was also pretty handsome. The radian of his lips was similar to Director Gu’s. But by comparison, Gu Tingchuan was more indifferent, carrying a temperament of rejection.

As they looked at each other, Yi Ran took note of herself and smiled first, saying, “Good to meet brother.”

Gu Tingyong also beamed a smile, but his eyes were unavoidably scrutinizing her with a sense of superiority. Yi Ran caught on that he was looking down on her.

Gu Tai had already met with Yi Ran at school. Seeing her again, he simply yelled “Aunt” before taking his school bag and running into the living room to sit. He took out a children’s novel from his bag and began reading.

Yi Ran knew that tonight would not be so calm. Looking at the boy’s beautiful face and his cute, dark eyes, she was suddenly afraid of knowing the truth.

Since she didn’t know what to talk to Gu Tingyong about, she simply ran to the living room to accompany Gu Tai.

Gu Tingchuan turned back to the kitchen. His eldest brother leaned against the door frame and said, “I have a lot of estrangement from my son. You’ve helped a lot. ”

Gu Tingchuan smiled coldly. “Only this time and also for her. ”

It was evident who this “her” referred to. Gu Tingyong shook his head, as if almost unwilling to believe. “Such an ordinary girl. I really don’t know what you are doing.”

Gu Tingchuan heard these words, and his lips slightly curved, but his eyes were very cold. “Don’t be arrogant. My wife would not even look at you twice.”

As a sensitive and intelligent child, Gu Tai had long noticed that the atmosphere in the home was not right. When he saw the adults eyes, his heart shook. He glanced at the two men talking in the kitchen, and then at Yi Ran next to him. He put down the book very consciously and said, “Whatever you want to say, whatever you want to ask, just do it quickly.”

Yi Ran looked at the men a few steps away and saw some hints on Gu Tingchuan’s face. She looked back at Gu Tak and softly but seriously said, “Gu Tai, tell me honestly. You really don’t know who drew on your t-shirt that day?”

“I don’t know.”

Hearing his unhesitant answer, Gu Tingchuan walked over with his hands crossed over his chest, his eyes a little cold. “So, some of the handwriting looked like yours. Was this also coincidence?”

His sense of oppression and momentum were completely different from Yi Ran. Gu Tai’s expression was shaken immediately. Then, looking up at them, he said: “I know who dirtied my clothes. Didn’t Jia Jia say that it was Haozi Yue?”

Gu Tingchuan saw what he was doing and became more determined. “As a primary school student, you’ve already learned how to frame people. Really clever. Such a clever child, you’re really worthy of being the Gu family’s younger generation.”

His expression hadn’t changed, but each words that fell into Gu Tai’s ears was terrifying.
