Chapter 652: Love Above All - 11 - Are You Really That Happy?
Gu Xiaoxi had lain low within the Gu family for five days, finally coming to understand her popularity in this household.
Gu Hua was an absolute old fox; to him, his daughter, just like his ex-wife, meant nothing once she was dead.
If it weren’t for Bai Yaxuan’s insistence on marrying her, Gu Hua would probably have smothered such a fool in the cradle to save himself the embarrassment.
But in front of Bai Yaxuan, he had no choice but to pretend to treat her well.
He provided her with the best life, hired a few nannies, but completely neglected her. Even when she was sold off and found her way back, it was only when Bai Yaxuan brought her home that he bothered to exchange a few words.
Tian Mei, the Gu family matriarch, was actually forty-two years old. She was smooth in all her dealings, and her greatest ambition was to marry her daughter Gu Yuxin off to Bai Yaxuan. She squeezed Gu Xiaoxi out at every turn, even inciting the servants to set her up, creating scandals to ruin her reputation. The goal was to make Bai Yaxuan give up marrying her.
And Gu Yuxin saw her as a thorn in her side.
Whenever they were out of other people’s sight, Gu Yuxin tried every means to bully her.
Gu Cheng, Gu Hua and Tian Mei’s eldest son, was twenty-two. Everyone knew that he was Gu Hua’s illegitimate son.
