Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant-Chapter 783: I Really Didn’t Mean It

The eldest grandson, Gu Xibei, seems calm, but he knows what kind of person his grandson is—he, as the real grandfather, knows best.

He looked at the tightly closed door and sighed heavily in his heart.

Turning around, he returned to the house and glared harshly at the granddaughter who was more trouble than she was worth: "Alright, don’t linger here anymore; hurry back to your own home."

Gu Qianqian looked embarrassed: "Grandpa, I really didn’t do it on purpose."

Old Master Gu stared at her sharply: "You didn’t even know you were being taken advantage of."

Gu Qianqian was anxious: "Grandpa, that’s a bit much, isn’t it? Wenjuan just mentioned it casually."

Old Master Gu felt even angrier upon hearing his granddaughter’s words: "You said it yourself, it’s the first time she has contacted you after going to the countryside, and given her current situation, where would she get the extra money to call you?

Why not think it through?

And you say she asked you to help her borrow a book from your brother—is your brother familiar with her?"

Gu Qianqian’s face turned very ugly after hearing her grandfather’s words. Thinking carefully, it was indeed the case.

Ye Wenjuan often tried to subtly inquire about her big brother from her, and it was only when she discovered her ulterior motives did she instinctively distance herself from her.

It’s all because she thought too simply; who would have thought Zhang Wenjuan could be so calculating?

However, Zhang Wenjuan probably didn’t expect that her one phone call would prompt Grandpa to dig up everything about her, investigating all her activities that happened after joining the Agricultural Reclamation Group thoroughly.

What surprised her was that her big brother actually liked that girl from the Chu Family. Calculating this, Zhang Wenjuan probably knew long ago, and the phone call was intentional.

What puzzled her was how did she know her big brother was on vacation?

Thinking for a long time, she still couldn’t figure it out, but she really shouldn’t trust people so easily—not that it led to any major mistakes.

Thinking about her brother still shut in his room, she felt quite uncomfortable: "Grandpa, you got it wrong, but sooner or later Big Brother will find out about the Chu Family girl’s marriage. It’s better to rip the band-aid off quickly; everyone should come to terms with it."

Knowing that she was an eyesore here: "Grandpa, I’ll be going now, and later you can tell Big Brother."

Gu Xibei, with better hearing than most, heard their conversation clearly; hadn’t he known all this before?

He thought he had let it go, but unexpectedly, hearing the news of the beauty’s marriage upset him greatly—he knew he shouldn’t feel this way, but ultimately he couldn’t control his emotions.

Gu Qianqian walked out sulking, and as she approached the bus stop, she ran into Qu Dongyu coming to pick her up.

Qu Dongyu looked at her listlessness: "Wife, what’s wrong?"

Gu Qianqian looked up at him: "Dongyu, I messed up."

Qu Dongyu, hearing this, didn’t dare to joke: "It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’m here—tell me what happened?"

Gu Qianqian pouted and hesitated before explaining everything: "Do you think I’m particularly dumb? I knew she fancied my big brother, and even though I had already distanced myself from her, I still made such a rookie mistake."

Qu Dongyu reached over and ruffled his little wife’s hair: "There’s fault in this matter, but you really can’t be blamed entirely, who would’ve known Zhang Wenjuan would be so cunning.

Furthermore, I have a part of the blame in this matter too."

Gu Qianqian was taken aback: "What do you mean?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Qu Dongyu then explained: "Just the other day, didn’t I tell you that I received a call from Zhang Wenjuan looking for you."

Gu Qianqian’s eyes widened: "You told her that Big Brother was on vacation at home?"
