Chapter Eighty – Go Join the Fun!
Upon hearing that the protagonist of the news was Bai Linyue and Shun Yang, Gu Yu lost interest.
He had originally thought he would hear Widow Lin and Madam Li bickering again, but it turned out to be a scandal. Gu Yu had actually gotten a little excited about it.
However, Gu Yu had previously been thinking… if Bai Linyue hadn’t left and was still in the village, he would run away immediately.
Only after hearing that the person had already left did he finally feel relieved and continue to stay put with Mengyao.
Bai Linyue had just paid a visit to Shun Yang, and it had caused such a commotion. What if she got tangled up with him…
Thinking of this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but feel fortunate for his foresight in diverting the disaster, pushing Shun Yang into the spotlight.
Yang Shun and Jiao’e Lin’s scandal hadn’t even passed, and now Bai Linyue had appeared again. He wondered what would happen to Shun Yang later?
It probably wouldn’t be too good…
The thought of Shun Yang not doing well put Gu Yu at ease.
Gu Yu would not kindly worry about those who had plotted against him before. The only reason he didn’t join others in kicking him while he was down was because he worried about getting implicated himself.
Otherwise, Gu Yu himself would have been the first one to gloat and watch the excitement without adding any fuel to the fire.
“Heh heh, Sister, Brother-in-law, shall we go watch the fun!”
“What other excitement is there to see? Isn’t that young lady gone already? If you want to watch the fun, you’ve arrived too late.”
“No, it’s that Widow Lin is causing trouble again!”
As soon as he finished announcing the news about Shun Yang and Bai Linyue, Gu Qingheng, remembering that there was still more fun to be had, immediately spoke up urgently. At the same time, he grabbed Mengyao’s arm and pulled her towards the Old Yang family’s residence, clearly wanting to join in the excitement.
But Mengyao stood still, her face showing a look of disapproval, clearly unwilling to let Gu Qingheng go there at this time.
The villagers all knew Gu Yu’s relationship with that group of people from the Old Yang family. If something happened then, Gu Yu would look bad.
Although Gu Yu had already officially severed ties with the Old Yang family, not a single word of the deed of severance had leaked out. In the eyes of others, he was still a descendant of the Yang family…
Thinking about this was annoying.
Originally, Gu Yu and the Yang family had reached such a point that reconciliation seemed impossible. However, Old Man Yang had not revealed the matter of the deed of severance, which was why it was so difficult now.
Even though Gu Yu could directly publicize it, a grandson actively spreading the deed of severance written by his grandfather everywhere… in the eyes of others, this was unfilial!
And since Mengyao intended for Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng to take the imperial examinations in the future, she naturally wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
“Mengyao, it’s fine! Not to mention Qingheng, I also want to go see… Right now, Jiao’e Lin is keeping Shun Yang busy with her unclear relationship. She probably doesn’t have time to bother with me, and the Old Yang family is also too distracted and weak to drag me down with them.”
“Then let’s go!”
Gu Yu just glanced at the conflicted expression on Mengyao’s face, and immediately understood what she was worried about. Thus, he stated his considered conclusion, wanting to reassure her.
Upon hearing his reasoning, Mengyao nodded in agreement.
Seeing Mengyao nod, Gu Qingheng immediately let out a cheer. Without further ado, he ran off towards the Old Yang family residence to watch the fun.
Mengyao and Gu Yu, on the other hand, strolled along at a leisurely pace. Their current age and status alone did not allow them to be as unrestrained as Gu Qingheng.
However, although they looked slow, their pace was not slow at all.
Being able to witness Madam Li and Widow Lin bicker firsthand made Gu Yu quite excited. He was practically ready to grab a bucket of popcorn and a cola, and finally, bring a small stool to just eat, drink, and watch the show.
