Chapter 1303

~5 min read 929 words

Wen Qian said apologetically:

"All these years I've been at the Wen family, it just wasn't convenient to see you and sister…"

Wen Wen Qingqing's eyes lit up at those words.

She said in a low mood:

"It's because of the few grandfathers, isn't it?"

She had already seen through the shamelessness of the Wen family's Five Elders.

So instinctively she arrived at the truth.

Wen Wen Qingqing only then noticed that the corpses on the ground were actually the Wen family's Five Elders.

She asked in astonishment:

"How did the grandfathers all die? Was it you who killed them, Brother Gu?"

The blow the Wen family's Five Elders dealt her was not as great as it had been for Wen Yi and Wen Qian.

After living at the Wen family for so many years.

Seeing the Wen family's Five Elders dead now, she inevitably still felt a touch of sorrow.

But what she felt more of was relief.

Gu Gu Hanyuan shook his head and said with a light smile:

"It was that Miss He who killed them."

He He Hongyao had already been sizing up Wen Wen Qingqing for some time.

Now seeing Wen Wen Qingqing look over.

That face she found so loathsome still faintly bore Xia Xia Xueyi's shadow.

For a moment He He Hongyao didn't know whether she should hate her or not.

She said with a complicated expression:

"You're Xia Xueyi's daughter?"

"Huh?"

Wen Wen Qingqing found the question utterly baffling.

Gu Gu Hanyuan explained from the side:

"Wen Qingqing still doesn't know her own origins."

Wen Wen Qingqing hurriedly pressed:

"Brother Gu, you know my origins?"

She had never known who her birth father was since she was small.

Even asking Wen Yi brought no answer.

Every time she brought it up.

Wen Yi would only silently shed tears.

In time, Wen Wen Qingqing simply stopped asking.

Now seeing Gu Gu Hanyuan looking as though he knew the truth.

How could she possibly hold back?

Gu Gu Hanyuan no longer had any need to hide the truth from Wen Wen Qingqing.

He slowly laid out the truth of those years.

The grudges and entanglements between the Wen family and Xia Xia Xueyi back then were unveiled through Gu Gu Hanyuan's account.

Both Wen Qian and He He Hongyao's expressions carried a mournful cast.

But compared to He He Hongyao, who couldn't help letting tears fall.

Wen Qian's emotions were far steadier.

After all, she had already walked out of it now, and had a new lover.

The gaze she turned on Gu Gu Hanyuan had also grown tender and full of affection.

Wen Wen Qingqing learned the truth of those years.

She murmured in disbelief:

"So my father was the Golden Serpent Gentleman."

After all, Wen Wen Qingqing had been raised by the Wen family's Five Elders since childhood, and Xia Xia Xueyi was the Wen family's mortal enemy.

A mortal enemy suddenly turning out to be her own birth father.

Such a reversal brought her no small shock.

Not being able to accept it all at once was only natural.

Wen Wen Qingqing suddenly asked urgently:

"Brother Gu, where's my mother? Is she all right?"

She wanted to find Wen Yi and confirm it once more.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Gu Gu Hanyuan.

She just wanted a reason that would let her accept it with peace of mind.

A glint of amusement flickered in Gu Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

He said with a light smile:

"Wen Yi is fine, I'll go bring her back in a bit."

He comforted Wen Wen Qingqing, saying:

"It's already very late. Whatever you have to say, Wen Qingqing, let's leave it for tomorrow. There's no rush right now."

Wen Wen Qingqing was clearly a little unhappy when she heard this.

Still, she obediently agreed.

Gu Gu Hanyuan turned to He He Hongyao and said warmly:

"Miss He, why not stay the night as well."

He He Hongyao listened to Gu Gu Hanyuan's gentle words.

Something stirred in her heart.

After all these years, he was the only man who had never shown her disgust, so it was only natural that the Nanmian Society would make her care.

He He Hongyao's face showed hesitation.

He Tieshou also urged from the side:

"Auntie, just stay and keep me company."

He He Hongyao glanced at Gu Gu Hanyuan and He Tieshou.

She agreed, albeit reluctantly.

Gu Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction at the sight.

He instructed He Tieshou:

"Miss He, take your aunt to wash up. I know the rules of your Wudu Sect, but there's no need to follow them here."

He Tieshou had long grown impatient with the Wudu Sect's punishment of He He Hongyao.

She said with a coquettish laugh:

"Since Young Master Gu has given the order, this little Jiao Sect leader of course has to obey."

Under He He Hongyao's startled gaze, Gu Gu Hanyuan reached out and pinched the tip of He Tieshou's nose.

He chuckled helplessly:

"Mischief-maker."

He Tieshou's face flushed bright red at Gu Gu Hanyuan's intimate gesture.

Yet she couldn't summon even a shred of dislike in her heart; instead, it was full of joy.

He Tieshou said with a sweet, charming smile:

"Then I'll take Auntie away first."

With that, she pulled the still-dazed He He Hongyao off.

Meanwhile, Wen Wen Qingqing once again puckered her little lips.

Clearly jealous again.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had long since become thoroughly practiced at dealing with a jealous Wen Wen Qingqing.

He leaned in right in front of Wen Qian.
