The farce quickly concluded.
Gu Jin did not follow to watch the spectacle. No matter the outco, she could easily guess it.
This was the first ti in her life that she had seen her uncle get angry. From today’s incident alone, it was clear that the Gu and Chen families had completely fallen out.
Old Master Gu never ca out of the room from beginning to end. Her uncle’s actions must have been tacitly approved by the old master. Otherwise, with such a big commotion, the old master would have intervened.
The issue between the Gu and Chen families was resolved, and Chen Hong, as the involved party, also went to the village chief’s house.
After the group left, Gu Jin pulled out the little kid who was craning his neck to watch the excitent from behind.
This action made Gu Jin realize once again that the little kid really had grown taller and was much sturdier than before.
Now, the little kid was above her waist, and his body wasn’t as light as before. With a pull and a tug, it was easy to move him.
She reached out and patted the kid on the shoulder, showing a satisfied smile, "Not bad, after supplenting for so long, you’ve finally gained so weight and grown taller. Keep supplenting more, and aim to grow a bit taller. Your height is still shorter compared to kids your age."
These words hurt An Mingji’s feelings.
Of course, he knew that he was sowhat short. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been bullied by other kids before, just because he looked small and weak.
He felt helpless about the height issue.
Especially when standing next to Sister Ajin, he couldn’t wait to grow taller, to surpass her, and not stand by her side as soone needing protection.
The little kid: "I will grow taller!"
His voice was firm, sounding a bit childish.
"Alright, little An will grow taller."
Gu Jin stepped inside, her voice full of joyful laughter.
Standing at the doorway, An Mingji slightly furrowed his brows, a troubled expression on his face.
How could he not detect Sister Ajin’s teasing? For that, he felt helpless yet annoyed.
The annoyance was directed at himself, hating his lack of progress.
An Mingji drooped his head and walked inside the house, resigning himself to continue studying.
As for the height issue, he was sure he’d grow; it was just a matter of ti.
...
Just as Gu Jin expected, her uncle and cousins went to the village chief’s house and severed ties with the Chen family.
From now on, the two families were not allowed to interact, nor was the Chen family allowed to visit the Gu family.
As for the specifics, Gu Jin didn’t know, but she understood that without a compelling reason, the village chief wouldn’t have taken such actions.
That day, Gu Jin was the one who cooked dinner for the Gu family, and the mood at dinner was somber and heavy.
The family finished dinner early and retreated to their rooms to rest.
Gu Jin and the little kid also lay down early.
The next day, an unexpected visitor ca looking for Gu Jin.
At that ti, An Mingji was in the room studying and taking notes.
Gu Jin occasionally tutored him, even though rarely having the chance to speak, the atmosphere between them was very warm.
Until the call of her cousin interrupted their warmth.
"Xiao Jin, there’s soone nad Liang Xia at the door looking for you."
Upon hearing the familiar na, Gu Jin quickly recalled who Liang Xia was.
Not only did she rember, but An Mingji also did. He paused his writing and looked up at Gu Jin beside him.
Gu Jin’s eyes focused on her cousin who pushed the door open, filled with doubt, "What is he here for?"
"Who knows, yesterday when we went to the village chief’s, we saw him with the production team captain of the Chen Family Village."
It was precisely last night when they took the Chen family to the village chief’s that they encountered Liang Xia and learned that he was the person Chen Lili was previously engaged to.
