Gorgeous Female Tenants

Sun Xiaoli’s face was streaming with tears, her eyes swollen and red, as she knelt straight down in front of the Gu Family Sisters: "Dear nieces, I beg you, as long as you are willing to save Ah Jie, I will repay you even if I have to become an ox or a horse. Please, save Ah Jie. I will atone for his sins with your father."

Gu Xiangyi quickly pulled her aunt up, although she despised her character, she didn’t want to accept her kneeling: "Aunt, please stand up. We won’t harm Ah Jie."

"No, if you don’t promise me to save Ah Jie, I won’t get up."

For the sake of her son, their aunt was ready to give up everything, not caring about her dignity, even if it cost her life, she would give it.

Gu Xiangyi glanced helplessly at Xu Xiangbei: "Alright, we’ll save Ah Jie, Aunt. Please, stand up."

Upon hearing Gu Xiangyi say this, her aunt reluctantly stood up.

Xu Xiangbei said helplessly to Cui Fatty: "The sisters have softened. You really can’t collect that five hundred thousand anymore. When I have time, I’ll treat you to a meal."

Cui Fatty chuckled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, relieved: "Knowing your relationship with the Gu Family, I didn’t plan to collect the money. I’ve delivered the person, so I’ll head back now. Goodbye."

Seeing Cui Fatty leave, the eldest uncle’s family finally realized that Xu Xiangbei had saved Gu Jie.

The elder uncle and his wife, with Gu Jie, wanted to kneel to Xu Xiangbei, but Xu Xiangbei waved them off, still with a cold expression: "No need. I reserve the right to pursue Gu Jie’s responsibility. If you ever wrong the Gu Family Sisters again, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

The elder uncle’s family nodded like chickens pecking at rice, solemnly promising: "We will never do anything to wrong Gu Xinyan and Gu Xiangyi again. If we do, we’re not even fit to be livestock."

Knowing that Xu Xiangbei saved his grandson, the old man’s pale face regained some color. He struggled to stand up from the sofa and walked over to Xu Xiangbei, tightly holding Xu Xiangbei’s hand: "Thank you, Dr. Xu. You are magnanimous, forgiving us once again and saving our Gu Family again."

Feeling Elder Gu’s hand trembling, Xu Xiangbei sighed softly: "Actually, it was the two sisters who forgave Gu Jie, not my doing. If you truly want to thank someone, thank your granddaughters. It was their generosity that prompted me to save your grandson."

The elder uncle’s family fell silent, looking at the Gu Family Sisters, their faces full of guilt.

Their aunt took her son Gu Jie to the backyard; he needed to change and bathe, as the smell on Gu Jie was worse than a beggar’s.

The second aunt asked Sister Wu to prepare a meal, coquettishly saying to Xu Xiangbei: "Nephew, since you helped the Gu Family so much, stay for lunch, and I’ll have Sister Wu make something delicious."

Xu Xiangbei smiled and declined: "You’re having a family reunion. As an outsider, I won’t join. During my visit to Jiangcheng, I also want to see a few friends."

Seeing that Xu Xiangbei wouldn’t stay for a meal, the second aunt showed a regretful expression.

Seeing Elder Gu looking tired, the second uncle Gu Chenggang helped him upstairs: "Dad, rest upstairs for a while. We’ll call you when it’s time to eat."

Elder Gu bid farewell to Xu Xiangbei with a bitter smile and was helped upstairs by his second son and daughter-in-law.

With only the Gu Family Sisters and Xu Xiangbei left in the hall, the elder uncle bit his lip, seeming to make a decision.

He said mysteriously to Gu Xiangyi and Gu Xinyan: "Dear nieces, come to my study. There’s something I want to tell you."

Not knowing what kind of trick the elder uncle had up his sleeve, the Gu Family Sisters looked at Xu Xiangbei, who smiled: "Your uncle asked you to his study, not me, why are you looking at me?"

The elder uncle sighed: "The matter concerning them can hardly be kept from you. Dr. Xu can come along to listen."

Xu Xiangbei jokingly said: "What is it that requires me to join? You can’t possibly aim to marry both of them to me, can you? I’m not ready to marry just yet."

The Gu Xiangyi sisters immediately pouted together, and their four pink fists struck Xu Xiangbei’s shoulders from either side: "Shameless, we won’t marry you."

The three of them playfully followed Elder Uncle Gu Chengjun to the study.

Uncle Gu Chengjun closed the study door tightly and discreetly said to the Gu Family Sisters: "You need to prepare yourselves mentally. This matter pertains to your parents."

Upon hearing it was about their parents, the Gu Family Sisters immediately became spirited. Having lived in the Gu Family for so many years, all relatives had treated the matter with secrecy, no one telling them about their parents’ situation. When repeatedly asked, they only vaguely said their parents had passed away.

So all these years, the sisters believed that their parents had long passed away.

However, what Uncle said shocked them immensely: "In fact, your parents haven’t died. At least, I haven’t heard about their passing."

Gu Xiangyi stared at her uncle in astonishment: "Uncle, I know you feel guilty towards us, but there’s no need to make up a story like this to deceive us, is there?"

Uncle’s expression was serious: "I’m not deceiving you. This secret has been in my heart for over twenty years. Your father’s name is Qiu Wenbing. He mistakenly killed someone for your mother and was wanted by the police, forcing him to flee abroad to escape punishment. Gu Biezhi, who is your mother, my sister, was already pregnant with you at the time. They loved each other deeply. Although not married, she insisted on giving birth to both of you. Having children out of wedlock was a disgrace to our Gu Family, so your grandfather never mentioned your mother, Gu Biezhi, as if she didn’t exist. After giving birth to you, she received news from your father in the United States and went to find him there. Who would have thought that over twenty years have passed, and there has been no further word from either of them."

Upon learning that her parents were still alive, Gu Xinyan was thrilled: "My parents are still alive. Grandpa said they passed long ago, but it turns out he lied to us."

Gu Xiangyi’s eyes filled with tears, with a hint of resentment: "They’re in America now? But why, in these over twenty years, haven’t they come back to see us even once? Why were they so heartless?"

Uncle smiled bitterly: "We all thought they were dead. As for why they didn’t send any news, I don’t know either. You’ll have to find the answers yourselves."

Gu Xiangyi looked at her uncle. It was the first time she ever felt grateful to him in so many years: "Thank you, Uncle, for telling us this secret."

Uncle smiled bitterly: "Actually, I didn’t want to tell you about this. First, I didn’t want to get involved, and I was afraid you would dig deeper. Secondly, your mother hasn’t sent any messages home for over twenty years. I already assumed she was dead."

Gu Xinyan excitedly asked: "Uncle, do you have their photos? I’d like to see what they look like."

Uncle nodded: "I do have a photo of them, just one."
