Chapter 8
“Tsk tsk.”
Gu Wan’an inwardly sighed and hurriedly followed behind him, feeling like a servant girl.
The black Rolls-Royce drove forward.
Gu Wan’an glanced at the man with an oppressive aura sitting beside her and quietly scooched away, looking out of the window in boredom.
Yesterday, she was too nervous to look around. Now, she was in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
There was a huge palace, a golf course, an open-air swimming pool, an artificial lake, and even a private jet.
As expected of the capital’s wealthiest family!
It took fifteen minutes to drive out of the palace, cross the private road, and finally hit the public street.
The atmosphere was unusually peaceful; except for the sound of breathing, there was only the sound of flipping newspapers.
An hour later.
They arrived at the old mansion.
Gu Wan’an was motionless, her head leaning against the car window, seemingly half-asleep.
Gong Mingye glanced at her and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. He said coldly, “Wake her up!”
“Second Young Lady.” Tang De called out softly.
“So feeble, have you not eaten?” Gong Mingye glared at him and reprimanded him sternly.
Tang De broke into a sweat, and the white hair at his temples shook along with him.
Just as he was about to speak again, Gu Wan’an opened her eyes and looked at Tang De with sleepy eyes. “Have we arrived?”
“Second Young Lady, Second Young Master is calling you.”
She yawned and looked over.
“You push.” Gong Mingye spat out two words.
“It’s better to let Butler Tang do it, I don’t have any experience.” Gu Wan’an tried to wriggle out and remained seated.
Gong Mingye glanced coldly at the woman in the corner. “Don’t forget the first clause of the agreement, Mrs. Gong.”
Mrs. Gong…
Suddenly, Gu Wan’an shivered.
Why did these two words sound like a curse?
She couldn’t refute him and stood up helplessly. “I know, we’re a loving couple. I’ll push it.”
The Gong family’s old mansion was located in Kunming Pond.
They walked around the rockery, the lotus pond, and the long veranda before finally reaching the main hall.
Old Master Gong was seated on an expensive pearwood chair.
Dressed in a black robe and twirling the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, his aura was majestic and dignified, giving off a detached yet authoritarian feeling.
Behind him stood a group of men and women.
Hearing footsteps, he put down his Buddhist prayer beads and swept his sharp gaze over. “You are here.”
“Hm.” Gong Mingye’s thin lips twitched slightly as he gave a faint response.
At that moment, the old butler walked in with a tray. “Second Young Lady, please kneel down and offer tea to the Old Master.”
Gu Wan’an complied and knelt on the ground to serve tea.
Old Master Gong took a small sip. “If you marry into the Gong family, you have to abide by the rules and start a family for the Gong family as soon as possible.”
“…..”
Gu Wan’an’s hand went limp and she almost fell back.
How could she answer this question?
She subconsciously looked up at the man beside her with a pleading expression.
However, his face was cold as he averted his gaze. He had no intention of helping her out.
Seeing this, she could only bite the bullet and answer stiffly, “Yes, I understand.”
“Grandpa, aren’t you making things difficult for second brother? How can you count on a disabled person to start a family?”
The sound of footsteps rang out as Gong Lianjue walked in.
Behind him was a group of people, all dressed in finery.
“Besides, even if a baby is born, do you dare to recognize it? What if it’s someone else’s seed? After all, my sister-in-law is no peaceful woman, with scandals flying around and changing men every two to three days.” He had a teasing look on his face as he deliberately humiliated her.
The other people in the living room also laughed.
Gu Wan’an’s face turned white and purple, but she didn’t make a sound.
It would be best if she could pass her first day in the old mansion safely. Even if she was scolded, it wouldn’t cause her any real harm.
However, Gong Mingye smiled coldly and pulled her behind him. “My wife, I will take charge and responsibility, no need for you, an outsider, to meddle in the matter.”
