After selling myself, I became the head of the family

"Mom, I've already washed myself."

Just as Lu Xingzhou was about to ask, he heard Gu Jiao's voice coming from the room.

After a while, the little girl fumbled out with a smile on her face.

"Okay, let me go and clean up now. The food will be ready soon, and your brother and Miss Su should be back."

Gu's mother looked a little ugly, but she still spoke to Gu Jiao in the gentlest tone. Only her watery eyes glared at Lu Xingzhou with hatred.

Seeing her leaving, Lu Xingzhou's anger was still not gone, and he was only worried about whether something would happen to Su Yueyue.

"Mr. Lu, are you worried about Sister Yueyue?"

Gu Jiao sat aside, looking at him with dull eyes, and asked softly.

"Ah."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. My brother will protect Sister Yueyue. Although the osmanthus tree is a bit far away, my brother knows the way and goes up there often. After a while, the food is ready and they will be back."

The little girl looked exactly like Gu's mother. She was already a delicate beauty, but because of the disease in her eyes, she was even more delicate.

Lu Xingzhou had met many young ladies from aristocratic families, and now he felt a little dazed when looking at her and hearing her thin voice.

She is only twelve years old. If she were older, how stunning would she be?

"Ah."

The young man was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses.

There were more and more doubts in my heart.

He always felt that the Gu family was not as simple as it seemed.

But he couldn't tell what the problem was.

The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, and the two people in the yard gradually became quiet.

The girl held a warm tea bowl and drank water, but the boy raised his head slightly, staring at the muddy path with his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Why haven't you come back yet?

Su Yueyue was anxious and angry. At this moment, she only grabbed the branches with both hands and walked back quickly.

He almost fell down several times, but she steadied him again.

She had to go back quickly and never go to Gu Erlang's place to buy fish again.

Let alone buying fish, even if she went to the market from now on, she would have to walk around that area!

The little girl's steps were fast, as if something dirty was following her closely behind her.

"Yueyue! Slow down!"

Gu Erlang watched her almost fall down several times, feeling frightened in his heart.

If you fall down here, you will lose half your life!

He never expected that Su Yueyue would have such a big reaction!

Su Yueyue ignored his voice and just lowered her head and ran faster.

What bad luck!

She will never come here again!

It used to be more than half an hour's journey, but due to this unexpected incident, Su Yueyue had to rush back in half an hour.

Not only that, she didn't even fall.

"Son!"

Seeing Lu Xingzhou's figure from a distance, Su Yueyue hurriedly called for someone.

Lu Xingzhou had already stared so hard that his eyes were sore. Now he was rubbing his eyebrows when he heard Su Yueyue calling him.

Seeing that nothing happened to her, the young man finally let go of his worries.

Just be fine.

"Sister Yueyue?"

Gu Jiaojiao also turned her head when she heard Su Yueyue's voice, with an expression of surprise on her face.

"Jiaojiao."

She had just scolded Gu Erlang all the way, but when she saw Gu Jiao, Su Yueyue felt uncomfortable all over.

"Why are you back so soon? Is my brother still behind you?"

Gu Jiao didn't hear Gu Erlang's footsteps and asked with some confusion.

"He, he's behind." Su Yueyue stammered, but her hands didn't stop moving at all.

She had brought a small bamboo basket over in advance, just for holding the sweet-scented osmanthus. Smelling the scent of osmanthus, Gu Jiao said excitedly, "Have you picked osmanthus again?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Yueyue's tone was nonchalant, but she kept pouring osmanthus flowers into the small bamboo basket.

When the bamboo basket was almost full, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far away, Gu Erlang also saw her movements.

Seeing that no one was in trouble, he was slightly relieved.

People safe is good.

"Yueyue, why are you walking so fast? The ground is slippery, so you have to be careful."

The young man quickened his pace and came over, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"Brother, why are you slower than Sister Yueyue?"

Gu Jiao couldn't see the expressions of the three of them, she just smiled and joked.

"Jiaojiao, let's come back next time when we have time. We have something to do at home today, so we have to go back first."

Su Yueyue packed up the small bamboo basket, patted the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers off Lu Xingzhou's clothes, and then spoke apologetically.

She knew that Jiaojiao was a good girl, but also a poor doll.

But she never thought about her relationship with Gu Erlang from the beginning. Since he could think of her like this, it would be impossible for them to continue to interact with each other in the future.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Gu Jiao was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion on her face.

"But my grandma is already cooking, so it's better to stay and have lunch before leaving..."

The little girl asked for help and tugged on her brother's sleeve.

However, Gu Erlang knew very well the reason why Su Yueyue left in a hurry, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Although he didn't know why Su Yueyue suddenly changed her mind, Lu Xingzhou was happy with her decision, "Miss Gu, we still have elders waiting for us at home. I'm really embarrassed, so I'll go back this time."

Lu Xingzhou opened his mouth, and Gu Jiao and Gu Erlang naturally couldn't stop him anymore.

After all, Lu Xingzhou was Su Yueyue's boss.

The master said he was leaving, so how could Su Yueyue, a little maid, decide what to do?

Gu Erlang wanted to go see them off, but Su Yueyue glared back.

After Su Yueyue pushed Lu Xingzhou away, Gu Jiao asked with some confusion.

"Brother, did you make Sister Yueyue angry?"

The little girl looked confused, with a bit of confusion on her face.

"Ah."

Gu Erlang lowered his head, looked at the dots of osmanthus flowers falling in the yard, and sighed.

There must be nothing we can do, right?

"What's wrong with you? You went to the mountain to pick flowers, and why are you so angry when you come back?"

Lu Xingzhou was in a good mood, but he still didn't forget to ridicule her.

After all, he didn't let Su Yueyue get too close to Gu Erlang from the beginning.

Who knows if this person is really kind or fake?

If I didn't come here today, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that the Gu family is like this. They do one thing before and another after another.

"Son!"

The little girl was angry and immediately turned red when she saw that he was still making fun of her.

Seeing her red eyes, Lu Xingzhou's smile froze and he suddenly became panicked.

"What are you doing? Didn't I just say something? Why are you still crying..."

Su Yueyue's eyes were red and she didn't speak. She pursed her lips and pushed the wheelchair without saying a word.

Unfortunately, this road was difficult to walk, and Lu Xingzhou felt uncomfortable in his wheelchair.

Are you feeling wronged in some way?

Could it be that Gu Erlang bullied her on the mountain?
