Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 54 Believe
Not only did I hear it all, but I heard it very clearly.As soon as Gu Yunji arrived at Xu Chengyu's residence, he heard the dispute between Xu Shuhua and Fang Zigui in the inner courtyard.

He was angry at Fang Zigui's shamelessness and offense. He wanted to rush in like that, but he was afraid that not only he would not be able to stop the other party, but Fang Zigui would also beat him up. He framed on the spot that Xu Shuhua took the initiative to pester her and ruined her reputation.He had no choice but to raise his voice outside and pretend to meet the teacher, creating the illusion that Xu Chengyu had come back, which successfully scared Fang Zigui away.

Hearing Xu Shuhua's question at this time, Gu Yunji didn't want to embarrass her, so he lied without changing his face: "What did you hear? I just arrived, and I saw the gate of the courtyard move a little bit ago. I thought it was the teacher who came back." , I didn’t expect that I was wrong.”

This reason is too far-fetched.Seeing that Gu Yunji's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that he was not telling the truth, Xu Shuhua smiled miserably and said, "You don't need to comfort me, I know you heard it, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence." She paused, her voice was rough, "Let you read the joke but thank you anyway."

Xu Shuhua's nose was reddish, his eyes were a little moist, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained. He forced himself to turn his back with the last bit of dignity, so that Gu Yunji would not see her gaffe.As soon as she recalled the scene just now, she felt ashamed and hated in her heart, even the jade hairpin in her sleeve felt as if it was burning, and she almost couldn't bear the urge to smash it into pieces.

The Xu Shuhua in my impression has always been gentle and confident, but now he is as sensitive and fragile as glass. Looking at her thin back, Gu Yunji felt pity in his heart, and he didn't know what to say to comfort her. He hesitated for a long time. Said: "Miss Xu..."

Xu Shuhua sniffed, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I have already seen that Fang Zigui has bad intentions, but I can't help it. I am afraid that if I say it rashly, it will affect the friendship between Daddy and Uncle Fang for so many years, so I always give in. endure."

"Before and after Qingming, I heard that his family was discussing marriage for him. I thought he should let it go this time, but I didn't expect him to still not give up. He shamelessly came to pester me while my father was away." Speaking of this, Her voice trembled, and her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Gu Yunji raised his head in disbelief: "He even talked about getting married?"

Xu Shuhua turned around, forced a smile and said: "Yes, he has already discussed marriage, and I didn't expect him to be so shameless. If it wasn't for you today, I would..."

"No way!" Gu Yunji said before she finished speaking.

Gu Yunji took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I have always felt that Ms. Xu is a confident and generous person, not only full of talent, but also a dignified character. She treats others with kindness and warmth, and never despises herself."

"Miss Xu is a breeze and a bright moon, and the jade lotus is as clean as ice. How could she be contaminated by the mundane dust and the mud in the pond like Fang Zigui? Even if something really happened today, Miss Xu, please believe that it is not you who are dirty, It's him."

The young man's tone was firm, as if he was talking about the most reasonable thing in the world.Seeing his clear and sincere eyes, Xu Shuhua was stunned for a moment.

When she first met, she thought it was her father who had come back, so she boldly went out to open the door, and seeing him without squinting, speaking politely, she just thought he was a polite gentleman; later on, he was gentle and humble in every day of getting along, and every time Seeing that there was no evil in her eyes, she was indeed the same; he avoided all ambiguous choices when giving the gift that day, which showed that he was meticulous and considerate.

Today, he praised her as Qingfeng Yuhe, as if his eyes never stayed on her skin, but penetrated the flesh and blood, watching her heart.He is really different from others.

In the setting sun, the soft sunlight shines through the window lattice and falls on the smooth stone steps, reflecting spots of light.Xu Shuhua suddenly felt a burst of lightness, and the layers of cocoons that had been wrapped around her body since she was a child showed signs of loosening, revealing a small gap for her to stick out the edges and corners that had not been completely smoothed.It was the first time someone evaluated her like this, not by a woman's standard, but by a human standard.

After a while, Xu Shuhua came back to his senses, smiled at him, and said softly, "Okay, I believe you."

Gu Yunji saw that she had kept her sleeves up, as if she was hiding something, and guessed that the jade hairpin that Fang Zigui had given her might be in her hand, so he hesitated for a while, and said: "If Miss Xu really believes in me, you can take the hairpin from me. Leave it to me, and I'll handle it."

"Leave it to you?" Xu Shuhua didn't expect him to say that, and was a little stunned. "What are you going to do with it? Return it to him?"

For her, this jade hairpin is indeed a hot potato, which cannot be lost or kept.If Fang Zi stays here, Fang Zi will definitely use this to make a fuss when he returns to the future to show that the relationship between the two is ambiguous and unusual. Here is the physical evidence, and Xu Shuhua will have to admit it if he doesn't.

If it is thrown out, it may be picked up by someone passing by, and it will be even more troublesome in the future.Although Xu Shuhua believed in Gu Yunji's character and knew that he would not take this opportunity to leave the hairpin as a handle, she was still not sure how the other party would deal with it.

"Of course it's not just returning it to him." Gu Yunji looked confident, "As for how to deal with it, I can't tell you yet, but Miss Xu, don't worry, I will definitely do it properly so that Fang Zigui will never dare to provoke you again. .”

Seeing Gu Yunji's determined and sincere eyes, Xu Shuhua was inexplicably persuaded by him, so he took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to him: "Okay, then please trouble Mr. Gu."

The jade hairpin is pure white with a clear texture, and looks very valuable. When Gu Yunji stretched out his hand to take it, he could still feel the residual body temperature on it. He shrank his fingers uncomfortably, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and put away the hairpin with his usual expression. Easy to put up.

The two of them were separated by a few steps, and they had already talked a lot without knowing it. Although the outer courtyard is accessible in all directions, it is not as hidden and secluded as the inner courtyard, but the two are still unmarried men and women. The elder Xu Chengyu is not around, and Gu Yunji is not easy to stay for a long time. So he got up and said goodbye:
"It's getting late, so I'll leave first. Today's homework is on the desk over there. When the teacher comes back, I'll ask Ms. Xu to help me."

Xu Shuhua agreed to come down, blessed him too, and then stood in the yard watching his back go away.

Walking out of Xu Chengyu's house, Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief.What happened just now still makes it difficult for him to calm down. After a moment of distraction, Xu Shuhua's embarrassing and stubborn expression appeared in his mind, making him feel as if his heart was being pulled into a ball.

"Fang Zigui..." Gu Yunji sneered in his heart, "You wait for me..."

When he was apprenticed to a teacher before, the other party made things difficult for him. At that time, Gu Yunji was too lazy to care about it. He never thought that Fang Zigui would shamelessly pester Xu Shuhua and threaten her with words when he was already negotiating marriage. It is really shameless and despicable .

Blackmail Xu Shuhua with her reputation as a woman?Heh, then I'll let you have a taste of being ashamed!
