Before Gu Nianshen could reply Li Nanmu, Qi Wuyue interrupted. “How could that possibly be true? If he had said 3,000 dollars, I might have believed him. Thirty dollars is too small an amount to be true.”
Hearing this, Li Nanmu felt convinced. Even young children would have thirty bucks in their pockets these days. Gu Nianshen could not possibly not have thirty bucks even if his wife was strict.
“I knew you would not truly fall in love with Lin Yiqian.” Li Nanmu let out a sigh of relief.
“Listen to me. Women like her can’t be treated too well. The better you treat her, the more she takes advantage of you.” He continued as he patted Gu Nianshen’s shoulder.
“No,” Gu Nianshen replied as he continued forward and finally sat down on the couch.
He immediately poured himself a gla.s.s of wine, giving it a slight twirl before taking a sip from the gla.s.s. Every single move was done with elegance.
“What do you mean by ‘no’?” Li Nanmu was confused.
“She’s not a woman. You are,” Gu Nianshen replied slowly.
“What are you trying to say, Gu Nianshen?” Li Nanmu was infuriated.
He was about to confront Gu Nianshen as he walked closer to him. However, right then, the door to the room suddenly opened.
A man dressed in matching black pants and a T-s.h.i.+rt walked in. Mysterious as he was, he had a pair of attractive eyes that seemed to hold stories of their own.
As soon as he entered the room, he stopped by the door as he scanned the three men. His gaze seemed to have lingered on Gu Nianshen for several seconds longer.
“Hehe. Everyone’s here.” He chuckled softly.
Gu Nianshen’s facial expression immediately turned cold. His fingers had visibly tightened around the gla.s.s in his hand. When Qi Wuyue noticed this, he became worried that Gu Nianshen might break the gla.s.s and hurt himself.
Qi Wuyue was also surprised that the man would show up.
Li Nanmu seemed to be the only one who had expected the person’s arrival. “Changlin, you’re here,” he greeted with a smile.
Song Changlin returned Li Nanmu’s smile as he closed the door behind him and approached the couch.
As Song Changlin arrived before Gu Nianshen, he paused and raised his eyebrows. “Nianshen, don’t you recognize your uncle?”
The room was eerily quiet.
Li Nanmu and Qi Wuyue simultaneously held their breaths as they looked at each other. Then, they turned to face Gu Nianshen simultaneously.
On one hand, Song Changlin was the uncle who had lost his girlfriend to his own nephew. On the other hand, Gu Nianshen was the nephew who was forced to marry his uncle’s girlfriend.
The two seemed to be in very awkward positions. Would they start fighting?
“Heh!” Gu Nianshen snorted as he put down the gla.s.s in his hand. He casually stood up and walked toward Song Changlin. “You didn’t even attend my grand wedding. And yet here you are blaming me for not acknowledging you.”
Gu Nianshen stopped one foot away from Song Changlin as he tucked his hands into his pockets.
With his chin raised, Gu Nianshen stared into Song Changlin’s eyes that appeared to be almost exactly like his.
Song Changlin’s face turned somewhat gloomier. After a quick blink, he looked at Gu Nianshen again with a smile. “It’s your uncle’s fault.”
The conversation was going awry.
Both Li Nanmu and Qi Wuyue were feeling gooseb.u.mps all over.
“Stop being weird, you two. Dearest Uncle, let the past stay in the past. Who is Lin Yiqian anyway? Don’t let her ruin the relations.h.i.+p between you two.”
Before Li Nanmu finished his sentence, Gu Nianshen and Song Changlin stared at him angrily at the same time. “Who are you anyway?”
This was not what Li Nanmu had expected.
However, he was not upset. Song Changlin had always been protective of Lin Yiqian. Everyone was used to it.
