Xiao Jing really did not expect his father to say such things. After all, in his memory, even if Xiao Shan did something wrong, he would never admit it.
Xiao Shan walked towards Gu Teng with a smile on his face and said,
“Daughter-in-law, I said something wrong just now. You must forgive Dad.”
For some reason, Gu Teng felt that Xiao Shan was a little strange. She hugged Yunbao tightly and did not speak.
Xiao Shan seemed to be anxious. He lowered his voice and said, “I’ll personally apologize to you. I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Xiao Jing frowned and pulled him aside. “Dad, what’s wrong?
Xiao Shan hesitated for a moment before continuing with a smile, “Our Xiao family’s business now depends on the Gu family. You have to treat Gu Teng well and not make her angry.”
If Xiao Jing still had doubts just now, they were gone now. It was normal for Xiao Shan to lower his head for benefits. Second Uncle and Third Uncle had probably advised him.
Xiao Jing said indifferently, “We decided to return to the capital later and not stay in the Xiao family anymore.”
“That won’t do!” Xiao Shan became agitated. “My daughter-in-law moved out as soon as she arrived home. Those who don’t know might think that I, her father-in-law, have done something. No matter what, you have to wait three days before leaving. This will also be good for Gu Teng’s reputation.”
To be honest, Xiao Jing really didn’t want to stay. However, when he thought of Xiao Shan mentioning Gu Teng’s reputation, he hesitated.
Gu Teng had a bad reputation for so many years. Until now, there were still people talking about this in front of Yunbao. Even if it was for the sake of the child, he did not want anything to happen again.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing nodded and said, “Then we’ll leave in three days.”
Xiao Shan smiled brightly and said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to prepare dinner and let everyone know how much the Xiao family values Gu Teng.”
After saying that, he quickly walked downstairs happily. Looking at Xiao Shan, who was so happy, Xiao Jing shook his head and said, “He really put in a lot of effort to get close to the Gu family.”
When she returned to her room, Xiao Jing told Gu Teng about the matter.
When she heard about her reputation, she nodded and said, “Then stay for two more days.”
She stroked Yunbao’s hair. Because she woke up too early, Yunbao fell asleep after entering the room. Gu Teng smiled and said, “As long as no one talks about Yunbao, I don’t care about this.”
Xiao Jing sat by the bed and hugged his wife. The two of them had experienced too much.
When the people downstairs saw Xiao Shan walk down and instruct them to make a big meal tonight, they knew that this matter should be in the past. Second Uncle heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s right. We have to prioritize the big picture.”
Xiao Shan, who had been extremely angry just now, now said with a smile,
“You’re right.”
Although this was the outcome that the Xiao family wanted to see, they were still a little surprised by the speed at which Xiao Shan had changed. After all, he had been the head of the family for so many years and had long developed a personality of keeping his word.
Now that his son and daughter-in-law had refuted him in front of him, he could actually choose to forgive them calmly. It seemed that he was frightened by the power of the Gu family. The second and third branches thought so.
Yunbao slept until dinner. Gu Teng woke her up gently, but Yunbao kept looking sleepy. Gu Teng thought that she was tired from playing on the plane, so she let her continue sleeping.
After settling Yunbao, Gu Teng went downstairs. Xiao Shan and the others from the Xiao family were already seated at the table. She walked straight to
Xiao Jings side and sat down. “Dad, sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It hasn’t been long.” Xiao Shan smiled until his eyes narrowed. “We just sat down too.”
Gu Teng felt that Xiao Shan had become a little strange. He clearly wanted to take her down a notch when he entered, but now, he suddenly became understanding.
Gu Teng had seen Xiao Shan before giving birth to Yunbao. She understood that Xiao Shan was a man of his word and hated people who went against him the most. How could he forgive her immediately after she spoke to him like that?
Although she couldn’t understand, Gu Teng didn’t suspect anything. She didn’t have much contact with Xiao Shan. She only had a vague impression of this father-in-law. What if he was very tolerant?
Gu Teng and Xiao Jing felt uncomfortable during this meal. The two of them couldn’t figure out why Xiao Shan was so happy. From the beginning to the end, he was the only one at the dining table who laughed and joked. Moreover, he ate four bowls of rice with a big appetite.
Even the Second Uncle and Third Uncle who wanted to support him couldn’t smile. Everyone felt that something was wrong with Xiao Shan. He seemed to be too excited for no reason..
