She did not know what kind of hardships this girl had suffered in the past. Her sensibility was heartbreaking.

Mother Gu looked at Lin Qiye with a pleading gaze.

Lin Qiye said, “Let her wash up. She will get used to it.”

“Alright.” Mother Gu could only sigh slightly.

Not long after, the little Empress quickly washed the dishes.

She washed them clean and bright.

Mother Gu was stunned. She patted Zhu Yuheng’s little head, her face full of heartache and love.

“This girl is too obedient. Little Yuheng, you will be a family with us from now on. Don’t be so restrained.”

Saying this, she patted Zhu Yuheng’s head lovingly.

“Alright, let’s go for a walk.”

Mother Gu grabbed the little Empress’ soft little hand.

“Let’s go, Old Gu, Little He, Little Shaoshang. We will buy some daily necessities for Little Yuheng.”

Mother Gu called out. The family of five left the villa and drove to the business district in the wealthy area.

It was completely different from the old run-down residential district. The lights were bright and red, and the place was luxurious.

It was Zhu Yuheng’s first time shopping in the wealthy district.

The magnificent scene made her feel as if she was in a dream. The beautiful products made her afraid to go near them. She followed Lin Qiye carefully and shrank.

“Mom, the clothes in this shop are quite decent. They even accept custom-made clothes. All the sisters in my school like them very much!”

Gu He was a regular customer of these shops. She spent a lot of time here and knew which shop was good.

“Then let’s go in and take a look first.”

The family walked into the shop. The luxurious clothes in the window dazzled Zhu Yuheng.

She accidentally caught a glimpse of the price of the dress next to her, and her heart suddenly tightened. She almost stopped breathing.

100,000!!!

She had never seen so much money in her life!

It was daylight robbery!

Zhu Yuheng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly lowered her head. She was afraid that if she took another glance at the dress, Aunt Gu would misunderstand and buy it.

“Hey, this dress suits Yuheng very well. Let’s try it on.”

Gu He grabbed a dress, held Zhu Yuheng’s hand, and walked to the changing room.

“No need! I’ll wear the clothes that you don’t want…”

When she realized that she had almost touched the skirt, Zhu Yuheng was so scared that her legs went soft.

Seeing this, Mother Gu felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.

The girl was too pitiful and too obedient.

“Little Yuheng, try it on. Little Shaoshang will pay for it. He’s a rich man. Don’t worry, and use it as you please! He’ll get richer and richer in the future. A few pieces of clothes are nothing.”

“That’s right, Yuheng. My brother is a rich man now. He has more money than he can spend. It will be a waste if we don’t spend it!”

Gu He held Zhu Yuheng’s hand, preventing her from breaking free.

“Ask my brother if we can spend it as we wish.”

Lin Qiye nodded. “Spend it as you wish.”

The little Empress quickly refused.

“I won’t wear such expensive things. I won’t wear them. I’ll wear old clothes.”

Mother Gu shook her head.

“Girls should wear beautiful clothes. Gu He is our daughter. The clothes she wore were carefully chosen by us. You are also our daughter. Do you want us to be biased parents?”

The little Empress was speechless. “I…”

“You don’t want us to suffer psychological guilt, right?”

Zhu Yuheng bit her lips.

“I…

“I will repay your kindness in the future. I will pay you back even if I have to risk my life.”

Her eyes gleamed with tears, but there was an unwavering look in them.

Mother Gu patted the little Empress’s head.

“Don’t think so much. You are a child. You have to be happy and cheerful. Think about the future later. Do you understand?”

Zhu Yuheng nodded. Shewas still a little restrained.

However, the Gu family’s warmth melted her and made her experience unprecedented happiness.

She cried happily. “Grandma, there’s still someone in this world who’s as good to me as you are…”

She wiped away her tears.

She looked so pitiful. Mother Gu held Zhu Yuheng’s face in her hands. Her heart was filled with heartache and sadness.

“Don’t cry. Try this coat first. It will fit you!”

“Try this one. It will be beautiful.”

Gu He knew Zhu Yuheng had never been to such a place before, so she did not ask the salesperson to attend to her. Instead, she pulled Zhu Yuheng to the fitting room.

Under her guidance, Zhu Yuheng changed into a new outfit.

She looked like a different person.

Other than her thin body and yellowish complexion, everything else was fine.

Her beauty was beginning to take shape.

Within a few hours, the family returned from shopping.

Clothes, shoes, towels, pajamas, toothbrushes, daily necessities, bedsheets, blankets, cell phones… They bought all kinds of supplies.

The little Empress was heartbroken.

She wrote down every price, and it was a sum of money that she could not imagine.

However, in just one night, her wealthy aunt and uncle had used up this huge sum of money as if it were nothing.

How rich!

Zhu Yuheng could not describe her feelings with words. She only lowered her head and looked at the new shoes on her feet.

She was afraid that this pair of shoes would be stained with even a speck of dust.

“Phew – I’m finally home. I’m so tired.”

Father Gu was exhausted.

A woman went shopping, but a man was exhausted to death, especially when the woman bought many things. Little Shaoshang did not help him carry them, so he became a coolie.

He was tired for a few hours along the way.

When he thought of having to work at night, his heart became even more tired.
