40 minutes later, Gu Tingshen parked the car outside the Gu household's entrance and pressed the doorbell.

The one who opened the door was the old butler, Uncle Zhang, he welcomed Tingshen and Huo Niannian in with a smile.

"The old man is still practicing calligraphy in the study. Your father is in the backyard. You can go to the backyard first, then to the second floor." The Uncle Zhang reminded them as he placed down two pairs of slippers before the two of them entered the room.

Gu Tingshen changed his shoes, walked to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of water to drink.

Huo Niannian moved a little too slowly, after changing her shoes, she raised her head and saw a middle-aged lady dressed in a light blue satin cheongsam walk towards him.

Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and her triangular phoenix eyes were full of sarcasm and sarcasm.

Huo Niannian thought, this was probably Gu Tingshen's stepmother, Yin Jie.

"Hello, Auntie." She greeted him politely.

However, Yin Jie looked at Huo Niannian with disdain and did not reply. She turned towards Uncle Zhang and said, "Take a plastic bag and put the shoes on Miss Huo.

Uncle Zhang looked at Huo Niannian awkwardly, and felt troubled for a moment.

However, Huo Niannian picked up the shoes without a care, and obediently handed them over to Uncle Zhang, saying: "Then I will have to trouble you, I don't want my shoes to be contaminated by the pungent smell of this place."

Since Huo Niannian had always been like this, if others were good to her, she would repay them ten times.

But if he was not good to her, she would definitely return the favor with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and would definitely not swallow her anger.

"You!" Yin Jie was furious, but she had no choice but to suppress her anger, and snorted: "The poor little girl from the village used such a despicable method to get close to our Tingshen, her mouth is quite strong."

As the heir, after Yin Jie had married into the Gu family, she had been planning to have his son inherit the family business, but he was only ten years old after all.

Besides, the lordmaster didn't approve of that illegitimate child either. She would only be able to gain some rights for her youngest son if he was tormented to death by the old tutor.

Hence, she wanted to marry her daughter to Gu Tingshen and let her daughter help the Gu family. Only then would her and her children's status in the family be completely secure.

However, Gu Tingshen had never accepted Gu Yufei. Gu Tingshen's father had also said that although Gu Tingshen and his father was not blood related, they were still siblings. No matter what, they could not get married.

Just as Yin Jie was thinking about how to make them cook the cooked rice, she suddenly saw Huo Niannian.

How could he not be angry?

Huo Niannian smiled and said: "I'm next to the big money, then who are you? Does Jiu Qu occupy a lair? "

Yin Jie was so angry that she almost fainted.

Her daughter Gu Yufei rushed over to support her mother, and resentfully looked at Gu Tingshen who was just sitting at the side, "Brother Tingshen, why are you letting her bully people like this!"

Huo Niannian also became anxious, and secretly glanced at Gu Tingshen.

Before coming here, he had warned her not to cause trouble, but she hadn't been able to hold it in.

Just when she was afraid that Gu Tingshen would be angry, she saw him pick up a piece of green bean cake and go in front of Huo Niannian, then stuff it into her mouth, "Eat more, talk less, and get back at your mother and sister. Watch me take care of you tonight."

With that said, Gu Tingshen patted her shoulder and headed towards the backyard.

Huo Niannian's face was flushed red as she ate the green bean cake. What kind of lesson was this?

It seems that Gu Tingshen is not a good person either …

As for Gu Yufei, after witnessing the scene just now, her eyes reddened and she said to his mother: "Mom, do I not have another chance?"

Yin Jie looked at his daughter with a pained heart as she said sinisterly: "That silly little girl still wants to snatch my daughter's man. I made her die a horrible death."

"Mom, why don't we hire someone to ruin her face! See if Tingshen will still like her. "
