Chapter 9

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Xin was ten years old. Due to malnutrition, she was not tall and her face was sallow and thin. She looked like a six-year-old child.

The two elders at the old house felt sorry for the child and secretly gave her food. In the end, Gu Xin’s food was snatched away by Gu Nian as soon as she returned.

Gu Xin did not dare to complain.

This caused Gu Nian to look very healthy.

Gu Shouxin’s meal was ready, but Gu Nian had not woken up yet.

Thus, only the three of them were left to eat.

At the dining table, Gu Xin looked happily at her father and then at her mother.

Cai Xiaolian had wanted to tease Gu Xin, but she was afraid that she would be exposed in front of this scumbag, so she could only lower her head and eat without saying anything.

Gu Shouxin looked at Cai Xiaolian from time to time and found that something was wrong with her. She was completely different from what he remembered, and was even avoiding him.

However, he didn’t expose her. Instead, he said naturally, “I won’t gamble anymore. I’ll think of a way to solve this gambling debt. Let’s live a good life from now on.”

“Father, I believe in you!”?Gu Xin said seriously.

Her grandfather told her that everyone would do something wrong. As long as they corrected themselves in time, they would be a good person. When the person who made a mistake sincerely corrected themselves, she had to trust and encourage them.

Her grandfather was a good person, and her father was her grandfather’s son. He was definitely a good person.

Therefore, she had to trust her father. However, she did not know how to encourage her father at the moment.

Cai Xiaolian raised her head in surprise, but she quickly lowered her head. “It’s none of my business. Do whatever you want.”

Cai Xiaolian tried her best to imitate the original owner’s tone. In fact, she spoke very elegantly and basically did not say anything.

But there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t let the scumbag man see through it!

Gu Shouxin was more and more certain that the woman in front of him was in the same situation as him. She was deliberately putting up a front.

However, he didn’t expose her. He continued to eat and even put some food in Gu Xin’s bowl. “Eat more. Father will buy meat for Xin Xin tomorrow.”

Gu Xin’s eyes lit up, and then she said carefully, “Father, can I really eat meat?”

Looking at his daughter’s sparkling eyes and her cautious expression, Gu Shouxin cursed the original owner in his heart a thousand times. Damn it, he didn’t know how lucky he was.

He nodded very gently, “Of course, from now on, Xin Xin can eat meat every day. Eggs, candy, and snacks are all fine. Xiaolian, don’t you think so?”

“Yes, I agree.”

Cai Xiaolian nodded subconsciously.

Then, she blushed and lowered her head again. The dishes in her bowl were no longer fragrant. Damn it, why did this scumbag suddenly ask a question? Wasn’t he trying to trick her?

Cai Xiaolian’s heart pounded. What should she do? What should she do? Would he suddenly ask a question?

“Excuse me, where are we?”

At this moment, Gu Nian suddenly appeared at the door and helped Cai Xiaolian out of her predicament.

“Sister, you’re awake!”

Gu Xin put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran quickly to the door.

“Sister? Little Sister, did you say that I’m your sister?”

Gu Nian took out her 120% acting skills to pretend to have amnesia.

She cursed in her heart: ‘There’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t have the original owner’s memory, so I can only pretend to have amnesia. Don’t blame me, everyone!’

“Sister, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!” Gu Xin couldn’t care less whether her sister was going to be angry at her anymore. She reached out and grabbed Gu Nian’s hand. She said pitifully, “Sister, I’m Second Daughter Gu, and you’re Eldest Daughter Gu! Why can’t you remember?”

Gu Xin was on the verge of tears.

Gu Shouxin narrowed his eyes and looked Gu Nian up and down.

Cai Xiaolian was also a little surprised. Why did her daughter lose her memory just now?
