Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 155 - 154: We Can Become a Family

Even though she had married off, she still couldn’t recognize her own parents and siblings, could she? Yet, Yongfang didn’t disown her own family, she just hated Jiaxing, but he was her biological brother.

Not even knowing her own brother had taken the college entrance exam, seeing her brother fight and not caring at all, and being rejected when she asked to borrow money, the Gao Family couldn’t possibly have a favorable view of Yongfang now.

No one was on Yongfang’s side this time, even Zhiguang thought Yongfang was foolish, Jiaxing hadn’t mentioned it, yet she blurted it out herself; wasn’t that asking for criticism?

"He didn’t say he took the exam." Yongfang felt wronged, she didn’t care about Jiaxing, how was she supposed to know Jiaxing had taken the exam? And now, seeing her own family’s anger, Yongfang felt wronged that Jiaxing hadn’t told her about the exam, causing everyone to blame her.

Jiaxing thought about it, he indeed hadn’t mentioned it, but even if he had, Yongfang might not have lent him the money. From childhood, Jiaxing was certain of his sister’s disdain towards him.

Seeing the accusing eyes of her family, Yongfang added, "If he didn’t pass, then he didn’t pass, he can just take it again next time. On such an important day, he himself got into a fight and missed the exam, how can that be my fault?"

In Yongfang’s view, it was better if Jiaxing didn’t get into university. If he did, he would only become more arrogant, leaving even less space for her in her parental home.

This thought, unknown to the Gao Family, only fueled everyone’s anger due to Yongfang’s words.

"You make it sound so easy, when your own brother faces trouble, you can’t even offer a few words of care, yet you blame Jiaxing for not telling you about the exam. Does that need to be said? Last year during the Spring Festival, everyone talked about it, you must have heard. If you truly cared about your brother from your maternal home, how could you not know about Jiaxing’s exam, you even think you care about Jiazhi, don’t tell me you don’t even know that Jiazhi has become a teacher."

At Chunfang’s words, Yongfang looked at Jiazhi, surprised, and blurted out, "Jiazhi, you’ve become a teacher? Where? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"Do you even care about your family?" Lifang also spoke up, feeling very disappointed in her sister.

Suddenly, Zhiguang shouted at Yongfang, "Yongfang, you’ve really gone too far, that is outrageous, apologize to Jiaxing immediately."

Zhiguang’s words did not make the Gao Family feel any better; in their view, this son-in-law wasn’t any good either. If Zhiguang really cared, respected and esteemed his wife’s family, Yongfang would not be like this.

Moreover, showing off his authority as a husband in front of Yongfang and the Gao Family like this only made them resent him further.

"I..." Yongfang was utterly aggrieved and unwilling to apologize to Jiaxing; she didn’t see any fault in her own actions.

"Go back to your own home, and don’t come through this door again." Guoqiang was angry; such a daughter, raised in vain, placing more value on her brother Jiaxing, Guoqiang was utterly displeased with Yongfang.

Of course, Yongfang and her family were driven out by Guoqiang, leaving the Gao home to go to the old house. But even if they hadn’t been driven out, the couple would have gone to the old house, as Xiumei, although she hadn’t come to the Gao family for New Year this year, was still in a relationship with Jianhua, they hadn’t broken up and marriage was only a matter of time.

Not to mention that Jianhua was also now working in the factory and had become colleagues with Zhiguang.

On the road, Zhiguang still said, "You blockhead, utterly foolish, such a thing ought to have been kept secret, but instead you blurt it out and ask for scolding. How did I ever marry such a foolish woman, not only useless but can’t help me, and haven’t even given me a son..."

Yongfang kept silent, shrinking her neck, enduring Zhiguang’s scolding, leading her daughter towards the old house.

Jiaxing watched Yongfang and her family leave, giving a cold laugh, if it weren’t for Xiumei and Jianhua dating, Yongfang and Zhiguang wouldn’t have come back so willingly.

Thus, Jiaxing left for the Youth Point, where he ran into Xia Xiao returning to her dormitory with food; Jiaxing didn’t leave, and Xia Xiao, feeling awkward to invite Jiaxing into the dorm, said, "Brother Gao, go back and have your meal, I’m going to eat too."

"Why don’t you come and eat at my place, Dong Meihua went to the He Family for a meal."

At this, Xia Xiao said, "I’m not like her."

"You could be like her," Jiaxing suddenly said.

Xia Xiao looked at Jiaxing, unsure of his implied meaning, "Brother Gao, what are you saying?"

Gao Jiaxing looked at Xia Xiao and said, "We could become a family."

Xia Xiao suddenly looked at Gao Jiaxing and laughed, "Brother Gao, I know you’re a good person, warm-hearted, and caring, but I don’t need pity—it’s just a lost love, not a big deal."

Warm-hearted and caring, Gao Jiaxing was baffled—he didn’t know he had those virtues. He immediately said, "I’m not pitying you, I am..."

Before Gao Jiaxing could finish, Xia Xiao shook her head, "Brother Gao, stop there, I don’t need pity, I, Xia Xiao, am not desperate to find a partner. This is the women’s youth dormitory; you better go back, standing here might give people the wrong idea."

After saying that, Xia Xiao took her lunchbox and went into the dormitory, closing the door behind her.

Gao Jiaxing: "..."

Shitou said, "I can see that he truly likes you, it’s not pity."

Xia Xiao didn’t speak. Gao Jiaxing stood outside for a while and then left.

Shitou then said, "He’s gone."

Xia Xiao hummed softly, opened her lunchbox, and started to eat. Bite after bite, the food tasted like wax—it was really unpleasant.

Shitou said, "If you can’t eat, then don’t eat."

Xia Xiao closed the lunchbox lid and nodded, "The food in the cafeteria is still as bad as always."

"It’s your mood, I think the cafeteria people find it quite tasty," Shitou spoke up.

"No, it’s a big shared meal, how good can it be? I used to be able to barely eat it, but today I just can’t swallow it," sighed Xia Xiao.

Shitou said, "What are you worried about, Gu Weiguo or Gao Jiaxing? If you don’t like someone, don’t overthink it."

"It’s Gao Jiaxing," she replied, "With what he did today, I don’t even know how to face him anymore. He used to say he didn’t like me, and now saying he’s not pitying me, how can I believe that? Plus, I’m good friends with Zheng Xianghong and I had connections with He Xuebing before. Now getting tangled up with Gao Jiaxing, what does that make me? It’s not like picking and choosing vegetables, nor a case of the previous one not working out, so seeking the next."

Xia Xiao shook her head, "Anyway, I don’t want to talk about relationships now, I’m not in a rush to find someone, and I don’t have the heart for it now."

"What about Gu Weiguo?" Shitou asked.

Xia Xiao also shook her head, "I’ve never considered him, he feels like a proud prince, too distant."
