Gu Dajiang’s Fear of Home

However, Gu Dajiang’s expression was very dark. He didn’t realize what he had just said.
He was still muttering indignantly, “That Shao Qingyuan cannot be a good person.”
Gu Yundong felt that it was better to let his father digest the news for a period of time. She would definitely make more mistakes if she said anything now. The more she protected Shao Qingyuan, the angrier her father would become.
Hence, she obediently remained silent and listened to Gu Dajiang’s nagging. She scolded Shao Qingyuan terribly.
Seeing her like this, Gu Dajiang stopped after saying a few words.
However, he was still whining unhappily.
In the end, he asked her, “Other than this, is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Gu Yundong immediately shook her head. Other than making the Old Gu family half-dead, there should be nothing else.
Only then was Gu Dajiang slightly satisfied. However, he had to criticize Shao Qingyuan from time to time for the rest of the journey.
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. Were all fathers like this? Her mother liked Shao Qingyuan very much.
Of course, she didn’t dare to say this to Gu Dajiang.
A few days later, the carriage finally passed Xuanhe Prefecture and arrived at Fengkai County.
When they reached the familiar place, Gu Yundong relaxed.
She went to look at Gu Dajiang, but he was very silent and looked a little uneasy.
“Father, are you feeling unwell?”
“No.” Gu Dajiang coughed lightly and hurriedly shook his head.
He was just a little nervous. Yes, nervous.
After entering the county city, Gu Dajiang asked Gu Yundong for a bronze mirror. She had placed it in the carriage.
The first time Gu Dajiang saw it, he thought that his Yundong had grown up and knew the importance of beauty.
He did not expect to use it now.
Holding the mirror, Gu Dajiang looked at himself carefully and asked his daughter, “Look at Dad. Does my complexion look bad? Am I very haggard with dark circles under my eyes? Or do I look old? What if your mother can’t recognize me?”
Father, why do you make it sound like you’re going on a blind date?
She looked at Gu Dajiang seriously and nodded seriously. “No, Father is very handsome. You’re like a handsome young master. Mother will definitely recognize you at first glance.”
“Yeah, right?”
Gu Yundong nodded vigorously.
Gu Dajiang took a closer look before returning the bronze mirror worriedly.
Gu Yundong comforted him and diverted his attention. “Father, relax. Do you want to take a look at the county? We’ll come often in the future. Would you like to familiarize yourself with it first?”
Gu Dajiang felt that it made sense. He lifted the curtain and looked outside. He even reminded Xue Rong, who was riding, “Slow down and take a look at the county city. Don’t go to the wrong place in the future.”
Gu Yundong was speechless.
Only Tong Shuitao was excited. As if she had returned to her territory, she excitedly introduced the scenery by the roadside to them.
Gradually, the carriage approached Gu’s.
Seeing the huge plaque at the door, Tong Shuitao couldn’t help but raise her voice. She said proudly, “This is our shop. Look, it’s Gu’s.”
“Our shop?” Gu Dajiang’s eyes widened as he hurriedly shouted at Xue Rong, “Stop the carriage. I’ll go take a look first.”
Xue Rong suddenly pulled the reins. Gu Dajiang lifted the curtain of the carriage door and got out without a word.
Gu Yundong rubbed her forehead. Was her father… afraid of meeting his family after such a long time of departure?
Shaking her head, she could only follow him out of the carriage.
However, as she approached Gu’s, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
