“Chu Peng, I’m going out. Don’t forget to mop the floor and wipe the table. I won’t come back for lunch.” Chu Qiao said loudly.

“Ok.”

Chu Peng’s impatient voice came from the room. Chu Qiao shrugged her nose and once again she suspected that this kid was reading H books1. Chu Qiao, who had been a stepmother for 20 years, could not help saying, “Don’t read some useless books, it will affect physical development!”

1H books : adult books ; porn books.

Chu Peng heard the sound of closing the door outside and glanced at the ‘Records of the Historian’ in his hand. In his mother, He Jihong’s opinion, this ‘Records of the Historian’ was a useless book, so Chu Peng did not think in any other way. He was still a bit confused. For the first time, he felt that his IQ, which he was proud of, was actually not enough to understand what his stupid older sister just said?

Was there any inevitable connection between reading random books and physical development?

Chu Peng fell into deep thought, and could not read the historical records anymore. He took out the high school biology materials. His pride as a top student did not allow him to have trivial problems that he did not understand, especially the one that was mentioned by his older sister, who’s not even good at studying.

Chu Qiao, who was already on the road, did not know what she just said casually, made her top student brother tangled for a day. She got on the bus and was going to the department store to buy the cloth and underwear, as well as a pair of beautiful sandals.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the No. 1 Department Store, the largest department store in Shanghai. It had food, drink, and entertainment. Chu Qiao got off the bus, and the white sun pricked her eyes. She ran quickly to the front door of the department store, which was much cooler.

Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. She could not help fanning. It was too hot today. The summer in Shanghai was extremely hot. After surviving the scorching heat in July and August, there was also the heat of after summer in September. She could only be comfortable for a month in October. In November, she had to wear thick clothes. Basically, there were no distinct four seasons in Shanghai. The Spring and Autumn Period only existed in the Warring States Period, and Shanghai did not have it. (The author complains about the seasons. Every year, there is only winter and summer. Where has spring and autumn gone? Especially this year, it is October, but the weather is more than 30 degrees. The air conditioner is turned on every day, what a sin.)

After resting for a while, Chu Qiao accidentally saw two people on the other side. It was Gu Jianshe and Xu Bilian, the damned couple. They were standing in the corner. They seemed to be arguing. Xu Bilian was very emotional, and Gu Jianshe was quite calm, but his expression looked very bad.

Was this true love estranged?

Chu Qiao became interested, she held up the umbrella and went closer to hear what this damned couple were fighting about.

“Gu Ye already agreed to divorce, why are you unhappy? Gu Jianshe, have you never thought of marrying me?” Xu Bilian lowered her face, her eyes became fierce, and she stared at her sweetheart.

Gu Jianshe was in an irritable mood, but he couldn’t show it on his face. So he forced out a little smile and coaxed her, “I wish I could marry you now, but Bilian, even if you and Gu Ye get divorced, our marriage must go through your waigong2 and my old man’s consent, right? So we can’t rush this matter, we have to take it slowly.”

2waigong (外公) : maternal grandfather.

“Gu Ye said that as long as we sincerely want to live together , my waigong and grandpa Gu will definitely agree. They are both reasonable people. Gu Jianshe, do you dislike me for marrying others? But Gu Ye and I are both really innocent. He is a eunuch. I have already given you my everything. You can’t treat me like this!”

Xu Bilian’s eyes were red. Last night, Gu Ye said that Gu Jianshe didn’t want to marry him, she didn’t believe it. But when she mentioned it today, Gu Jianshe’s reaction made her feel cold from head to toe.

Gu Jianshe gritted his teeth. Damn Gu Ye, just didn’t know what he had said to Xu Bilian, which made this woman go crazy and forced him to marry her in the early morning. The old man of his family and the old man of He’s family were unreasonable. How could they agree with him marrying Xu Bilian?

If he ever dared to bring up this matter, the old man would definitely break his leg!
