Shen Qinghe glanced at the two people with some doubts but didn’t think too much about it.
She went forward and introduced her to Gu Jinxi with a smile. ” Jinxi, you haven’t met her, right? This is Miao Miao, and she’s also your second sister-in-law.”
After saying that, she looked at Gu Jinxi and gestured for him to greet Lu Miao quickly.
Gu Jinxi’s lips twitched involuntarily. Lu Miao was about the same age as him. She was only a month or two older than him. It was too embarrassing for him to call her Second Sister-in-law.
Seeing this, Shen Qinghe slapped the back of his head angrily. ” Greet her. ‘”‘
Gu Jinxi struggled for a long time and tried his best to overcome his embarrassment. He braced himself and called out softly, ” Second
Sister-in-law.”
” Cough, cough, cough. ” Lu Miao almost choked on the food in her mouth.
She thought that Gu Jinxi would at most call her by her name to greet her. She did not expect that this fellow….
Shen Qinghe quickly stepped forward and patted her on the back.
“Miao Miao, are you alright? This is the first time Jinxi has seen you, so he’s a little shy.”
“Thank you, Auntie Shen. I’m fine.” Lu Miao coughed and waved her hand.
Shen Qinghe was quite satisfied with how tactful Gu Jinxi was.
If her son was like Gu Xingyu, confused about right and wrong, she would really die of anger.
Gu Xingyu was furious. She widened her eyes and glared at Gu Jinxi, trying her best to question him with her eyes.
Why did this bastard suddenly betray her and call her second sister-in-law after just a nap?!!
Wasn’t this equivalent to acknowledging her status in their family?
She would never allow it!
Jinxi simply ignored her and grabbed a tissue from a nearby table, throwing it in front of Lu Miao.
He grumbled, “How could you choke on your food? You’re so clumsy.”
Gu Xingyu was so angry that she stretched out her leg and kicked him under the table.
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a féw words. ” Gu Jinxi, what are you doing?”
She had been with Gu Jinxi since they were in their mother’s womb. How could she not understand this guy?
He was just being stubborn and pretending to be disgusted, but he didn’t really mean it.
Damn it, what’s wrong with this guy? Why was he being so attentive to Lu Miao and giving her tissues?
“It’s none of your business,” Jinxi said irritably.
“Alright, you two, stop arguing,” Shen Qinghe interjected and looked at Gu Jinxi.
“Since you’re back, rest at home for a few days. When you’re feeling better, I’ll get your second brother to arrange for someone to take you back,” Shen Qinghe said.
Upon hearing this, a sense of inexplicable anger rose uncontrollably within him.
With loud “bang”, he smashed the chopsticks onto the table.
“All you ever do is keep me locked up! I’m a human being, your son, not an animal that needs to be caged up every day!
I don’t think you’re…”
She wasn’t worried about his safety; she was just worried that he would embarrass the Gu family in the country.
Before he could finish his words, Lu Miao raised her eyes and glanced at him. Her fingertips moved slightly, and a thin white light silently drilled into his brow.
Jinxi felt the rage that had been burning within him moments ago extinguished like a cool mountain spring had been poured over it.
He clenched his fists tightly by her side, lowered his head, and muttered softly.
‘ I just wanted to tell you that I’m an adult now and can be responsible for my own actions. I don’t want to be locked up like an animal and looked down upon.”
Shen Qinghe was shocked when she heard this.
She rubbed her chin and sized him up a few times before asking suspiciously. “Is there really nothing wrong with your brain?”
Jinxi’s usual behavior upon returning home was to make a scene and argue loudly. In such situations, it was normal for him to curse at his mother, throw a chair, and storm out. She had long since grown accustomed to this.
However, this time he suddenly became calm, which was strange. She was worried that something was wrong with him.
Gu Jinxi was speechless. He said angrily, ” No, I don’t want to go overseas anymore. I want to stay in the country.”
Seeing his rebellious behavior, Shen Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and playfully hit him on the head.
“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Why are you shouting? Can’t you see Miaomiao is here? If you scare her away, I’ll break your legs.”
Gu Xingyu rolled her eyes beside them, wondering what Lu Miao had done to her mother to make Shen Qinghe treat her like a delicate flower.
With the way she kicked over a strong thief, who could scare her?
Gu Jinxi was stunned. He looked at Shen Qinghe in disbelief. ” You promised me to stay in the country?”
Shen Qinghe nodded. ” I agree. ”
Gu Jinxi did not expect Shen Qinghe to agree to his stay so easily.
In the past, Jinxi had also run away numerous times in protest, but each time he was forcibly brought back by his second brother under Shen Qinghe’s firm demands. None of his attempts had been successful, and he thought that Shen Qinghe would never let him return to the country.
He jumped up excitedly and hugged Shen Qinghe tightly, “That’s great!
Hahaha, I can stay!”
Realizing what he had just done, he sat back down, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Don’t get too excited yet. I agreed for you to come back under certain conditions, ” Shen Qinghe said.
Jinxi looked at her and asked, “What conditions?”
“You have to study hard and not fight with others. You can play car racing, but only in your spare time and in a safe place. You must always prioritize your safety. If you still behave like before, I’ll lock you up,” Shen Qinghe replied.
Jinxi was surprised and happy that he was allowed to stay and play car racing. He nodded, “Okay.”
Watching him smile so openly and happily, Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.
Jinxi had been rebellious since he was young, and he was never as close to them as Gu Xingyu and the others. After he started car racing, their relationship had become even worse due to her strong opposition.
Every time he looked at them, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were his enemies.
She couldn’t even count how long it had been since he had called her mother or had a good meal with them.
Although she did not know why he had suddenly changed so much this time, he was right. He was a human, and she could not keep him locked up like this.
If this continued, he would only be pushed further and further away.
After breakfast, Lu Miao greeted them and went upstairs to get her bag for school.
Seeing that Shen Qinghe had also gotten up and gone to the kitchen, Gu Xingyu immediately stood up and rushed over to grab Gu Jinxi’s collar, questioning him angrily.
“Gu Jinxi, are you crazy? He called her Second Sister-in-law.
Have you forgotten what I told you last night?
Lu Miao was a greedy, sinister, and cunning person. She doesn’t deserve to be our second sister-in-law!”
