"Hey, what are you so happy about?" Gu Ci's voice came from outside the door.

When he walked into the hall and saw the two people sitting on the sofa, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Isn't this my sister-in-law? At Grandpa He's birthday party that day, I saw you crying because of your brother. Have you two reconciled now?" Gu Ci said meaningfully.

Gu Ci's words made Shen Qingli a little nervous. She couldn't let him know what happened between her and Gu Ci on the balcony that day.

Otherwise, he would talk about her again.

Sure enough, Gu Peisi's face darkened.

He recalled the scene he saw on the surveillance camera, Gu Ci and Shen Qingli were tightly pressed together, their breaths intertwined.

He whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Gu, I didn't know you cried that day?"

Shen Qingli glanced away and didn't look at him, thinking to herself: You are only concerned about Bai Chuwei, how do you know that I am crying?

"I advise you to stay away from him. He is not someone you want to mess with."

His younger brother appears to be a carefree person on the surface, but he is actually difficult to get along with.

Shen Qingli snorted coldly when she heard this: "At least he still cares about me."

These words made Gu Peisi's face turn black with anger, and he almost broke her waist.

"What? The girl is crying. Pei Si, have you made her angry again?" Old Master Gu was so angry that his eyes were wide open and he almost hit him.

"No, grandpa, there's sand in my eyes." Shen Qingli had to find an excuse.

She was afraid that her grandfather would be angry and get sick.

Although she and Gu Peisi had a bad relationship, she couldn't hurt Grandpa. After all, Grandpa hoped that they could be together well.

However, she still had to disappoint his expectations.

One day, she will explain everything to grandpa.

Only then did Mr. Gu put his hand down. He remembered that it was Gu Ci who said this, so he turned around and said to Gu Ci: "You are really fooling around, your brother almost got hurt because of you."

"Grandpa, you can't blame me for this."

Seeing this scene, Gu Ci's mouth curled up into an ambiguous smile.

After dinner, Mr. Gu called the two brothers to his study to discuss something.

Shen Qingli felt a little bored sitting on the sofa and decided to take a walk in the yard.

The sun sets and dusk falls.

Looking at the roses in the yard, Shen Qingli was about to go up to smell them, but someone threw a pile of dirt at her.

The mud hit her skirt, staining it black.

Shen Qingli was very depressed because her skirt was soiled.

She turned her head and saw a little boy about ten years old not far away, his hands were dirty, and it seemed that he was the one who threw the mud.

"Don't even think about picking flowers, you ugly woman."

Who is this boy? He looks familiar with this place, could he be a relative of Gu Peisi?

Shen Qingli pondered and guessed the identity of the little boy.

"Hey, I'm talking to you." The little boy became even angrier when he saw Shen Qingli ignored him.

He squatted down, found a stone, and with a wicked smile on his face, he threw the stone hard over.

After Shen Qingli reacted, she dodged to the side.

The little boy became furious when he saw Shen Qingli avoiding him.

"How dare you dodge? Do you know who I am?" The child stomped his feet in anger and chased after Shen Qingli.

This little boy is Gu Peisi’s stepmother’s child, Gu Shi.

In the Gu family, the servants would be concerned about his status as the young master and would not dare to resist him.

But this woman dared to resist him and disobey him.

Shen Qingli was hiding from the other party while thinking of a strategy.

Suddenly, she was not paying attention and was tripped by a stone on the ground and fell to the ground.

Gu Shi saw Shen Qingli fall down and smiled sinisterly, "Finally I caught you."

He picked up the stone in his hand and prepared to hit Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side.

The child is still young, and since he is disobedient, it is time to give him a good lesson.

She turned around, snatched the stone from his hand and threw it to the ground.

This scene happened to be seen by Gu Peisi.

"Gu Shi, you are so bold that you dare to hit people with stones." Gu Peisi grabbed Gu Shi, lifted him up, and spanked him hard on the buttocks several times.

Gu Shi was beaten and burst into tears. "Brother, how dare you hit me? I'm going to tell dad."

Brother, could this be Gu Peisi’s younger brother, the stepmother’s son?

When An Qionghua heard her son crying, she immediately walked out of the hall.

The moment she saw Gu Peisi, she was stunned by his aura.

Gu Shi felt more confident when he saw An Qionghua coming. He pointed at Shen Qingli and said, "Mom, she made me cry."

He was very afraid of this elder brother and did not dare to offend him.

But he was not afraid of offending this strange woman, and his mother would definitely protect him.

Upon hearing this, An Qionghua walked straight towards Shen Qingli.

Without saying a word, she raised her hand and hit Shen Qingli in the face.

"You made my son cry?"

Shen Qingli hadn't reacted yet and just stood there in a daze.

By the time she reacted, it was too late.

Shen Qingli closed her eyes and prepared to accept the pain.

But he found that the slap did not fall.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found a hand in front of her, stopping An Qionghua.

"Aunt An, don't forget, this is the old house." Gu Peisi glanced at her, his eyes as cold as ice.

After An Qionghua realized where she was, she took a step back.

Yes, this is an old house and she can't act rashly.

Mr. Gu didn't like her in the first place. If her son did something embarrassing again, what if the old man also hated her son? What should she do then?

It’s all Gu Chengde’s fault for being useless and letting his son climb over his head.

Now they, mother and son, have to endure Gu Peisi's anger.

I should have known I shouldn't have kept him.

She glanced at Gu Shi and saw that he was not injured.

She knew her son very well. If he was really hurt, he would not just whine, but cry non-stop.

Now it seems that Gu Peisi must have taught him a lesson.

After understanding this, she took Gu Shi's hand and prepared to leave.

Gu Shi struggled and cried, "Mom, why don't you kick her out?"

An Qionghua was shocked, covered his mouth and dragged him away.

When she turned around, her eyes darkened and said, "Gu Peisi, just wait."

After An Qionghua left, the yard suddenly became quiet.

Shen Qingli looked at Gu Peisi in front of her with mixed feelings.

The last time I heard from my grandfather, he lost his mother when he was young.

Their relationship has not been good since his father married his stepmother.

Now it seems that this stepmother is difficult to get along with and his younger brother is very violent. No wonder he has become like this.

He would only feel better when he was with his grandfather.

His grandfather took care of him when he was growing up.

It was also because of his grandfather that he was willing to marry her.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Peisi looked at her and asked casually.

Shen Qingli suppressed her sadness and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you for coming. If not for this, I don't know how to deal with it."

In this atmosphere, somehow, Gu Peisi felt his heart move, and he reached out to stroke her hair: "Don't worry, she doesn't dare."

"Next time you encounter this situation, you can come to me."

Although he spoke very bluntly, Shen Qingli could still tell that he cared about her.
