”Sir, you … ”How should I address you?” Jia Wen's face was currently flushed red as he asked shyly. The morning sun shone upon her fair skin and her beauty, causing Gu Junshan to be stunned for a moment.

”Sir, sir?” Seeing that Gu Junshan's gaze had frozen, Jia Wen did not know why, but he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him. Gu Junshan suddenly grabbed her hand and nervously spoke incoherently, ”Jade Fairy … ”You're back.” At this moment, Gu Junshan was in a trance, muttering the word 'Jade Lady' nonstop as he stared at Jia Wen with a dazed look.

Jia Wen could feel the warmth coming from Gu Junshan's big hands. It was an extremely passionate expression, ”Sir, you're hurting me.” Jia Wen's small hands were held tightly by Gu Junshan, causing Jia Wen to feel pain. After saying those words, Gu Junshan finally woke up. The light in his eyes dimmed, as if he had just awakened from his memory, and silently released her hand.

”I'm sorry, I lost my composure.” Gu Junshan dispiritedly said, the disappointment in his eyes was not concealed at all. Jia Wen rubbed his aching hands and asked, ”Sir, who was the Jade Dollar you spoke of just now?” Gu Junshan didn't respond, he indifferently replied, ”Nothing, just an old friend.”

After a while, a person entered the temple. Jia Wen stood up nervously. When the person saw the two of them, he smiled and said, ”Master is indeed here.” It turned out that Gu Junshan had already arranged for him to go and rescue Jia Wen, while he would be waiting for him in one of the four temples on the outskirts of the city.

Following Gu Junshan to the Gu family, Jia Wen did not believe that Gu Junshan was such a wealthy merchant at all. Moreover, he had a very high position in the city, and he would always be surrounded by people outside. He could be said to be wealthy beyond compare, and for such a wealthy and powerful person to risk his life and save her, Jia Wen felt more and more terrified.

Ever since coming to the Gu family, he had broken the suspicion and jealousy of his wife and a few concubines. In the past few days, Gu Junshan treated Jia Wen as his own sister, and, in addition to eating and drinking, he would often ask Jia Wen to draw a few works of calligraphy and painting, and bring her to some social gatherings. Judging from Jia Wen's interest in writing, he sent her to a famous private school to study.

Even though he had never been to school when he was young and could not read much when he was young, Jia Wen was talented, hardworking, and highly appreciated by the teachers. Gu Junshan really valued his sister.

Since she was his sister and he was surnamed Gu, there was nothing bad about it. At this moment, Jia Wen no longer had any feelings for his biological parents, and his feelings for Gu Junshan were as deep as a father's, so according to Gu Junshan's suggestion, they were called Gu Bi Yuan. Jia Wen knew that this was the name of an old friend of Gu Junshan, and the meaning of Gu Junshan using her as an old friend was clear, but she was not unhappy at all.

Jade Fairy, how's your studies going these past few days?” Gu Junshan asked when they were playing around in the countryside. ”Little Sister Jade is so intelligent that the children's stuff at school won't be a problem for her.” ”The one who spoke was Gu Junshan's wife, Liu Chengen. Ever since they arrived at the Gu family, other than his sister, Gu Junshan, he was the only one who took good care of Gu Beiyuan. Liu Chengen's mother was also a rich and noble family, and she had been known as a scholar since a young.

”Sister-in-law is joking, I'm finding it harder and harder to study. Ai, it's my fault that I haven't studied since I was young, it's hard for me to keep up with her now. Teacher only said that I was smart to comfort me.” Hearing this, Gu Junshan laughed and said, ”My good sister, you worry too much. I sent you to school just to let you read in the future, but I don't ask you to learn anything.”

The three of them chatted and laughed, and behind them were a few servants. Others were really envious of Gu Junshan, Liu Chengen was already a famous beauty, and Gu Junshan's three concubines were also extremely beautiful. Now, they were able to find such a delicate beauty.

The servants didn't dare to talk about it in front of the crowd, but the three concubines were a little stingy. One of them was called Chen Jiaohua, and she loved to fight for the jealousy, so even though she didn't dare to argue with Liu Chengen, she still said a lot of malicious things about Liu Chengen in private. With regards to the other two concubines, she was always on bad terms with them, and after Gu Bi'er entered the family, she didn't like them at all.
