4662 Never Too Late to Love (69)

Gu Chengze was a little angry. Ever since he was a child, both his parents had been short-tempered. This was especially true for his father, who would subject him to violence at the drop of a hat.

Under the explosive education of his parents, his own temper could not be softer or gentler. For as long as he could remember, he hardly ever got angry and was rarely infuriated by anyone. But because of Ye Yuqin, Gu Chengze was now furious.

He had never seen such a shameless woman, actually exploiting her niece under the guise of high-sounding reasons, and even using Bai Sheng’s marriage to scheme against her, for the sake of securing a marital home for her own son.

The last time he saw Bai Sheng at the cafe, she was on a blind date with a man. He was a little surprised at the time. Why did she need to go on a blind date at such a young age? Now he knew! It turned out that Ye Yuqin was using her!

Although Gu Chengze was drawing an annual salary, he had started to rely on himself since he was in university. With his ability, he had accumulated a lot of savings. Five million yuan was not a sum that would hurt his pocket.

Actually, if Ye Yuqin had been sincere in her concern for Bai Sheng, or at the very least, if she hadn’t been this scheming or uncaring towards Bai Sheng, for the sake of his wife, he would have given Ye Yuqing some respect. However, Ye Yuqin’s insatiable greed, and her ugly behavior, disgusted Gu Chengze thoroughly.

Bai Sheng was not too worried about it, on the other hand. After all, as far as she knew, her husband was only a working-class person with a modest family background. He might be able to fork out a million or two but definitely not five million.

She just felt sorry for him because he had to deal with such a difficult relative. Bai Sheng had never really understood Gu Chengze’s true background. It was not that she didn’t care. Rather, it was because she didn’t mind.

Regardless of whether the man was rich or poor, since they were now married, they were husband and wife and it wouldn’t make a difference. When she decided to marry him, she’d thought that even if this man was heavily in debt, she would brace herself and walk down the path with him.

“You don’t have to take my aunt’s words to heart.” Bai Sheng said indifferently, “No matter what she says, just ignore her.”

Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows. “Has she always been so harsh to you?”

“Isn’t that reasonable?” Bai Sheng smiled bitterly and said, “She is not my biological mother. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. After all, I’m not her real child. If not for my uncle’s relationship with her, I won’t be related to her at all. Back then, when she adopted me, to put it bluntly… I don’t think you understand the tradition in our hometown.”

“Eh?”

“Where we come from, girls in the family usually don’t have much status. Elder sisters are also called ‘brother supporters’.”

“Brother supporters?”

“It means that the older sister has to takeover the baton from her mother for the rest of her life, and forever support the younger brother.”

As Bai Tiao spoke, she laughed helplessly, “From my aunt’s perspective, since she adopted me, then, naturally, I’m a half-daughter! And since I am considered a half-daughter, then I should at least bring some value! Her son does not have a house, so of course, she has to sacrifice me!”
