Gu Qingyao’s room was on the second floor, so Wen Ruyu dragged her out of the room and straight down the stairs. Two pretty girls followed behind.
When they reached the staircase, they saw Gu Chonghua and Gu Jinhang in the living room downstairs. Wen Ruyu immediately slowed down and straightened her clothes. Then she coughed loudly, and she and Gu Qingyao grandly descended.
Gu Chonghua had gotten up to get something, but Wen Ruyu’s cough made him glance up the staircase. One look was enough to make him almost stumble and fall.
He stared up the stairs at Wen Ruyu, his face slack with shock.
Gu Jinhang was frightened and also looked over in bewilderment.
Wen Ruyu smugly sashayed down. “How do I look? Are you happy? Are you surprised?”
Gu Conghua, “…”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
“Yo-your… your… what’s that on your face?” Gu Chonghua sputtered.
Wen Ruyu said, “Don’t you know? Are your eyes growing dim with age? Rouge and face powder! Yao Yao and Ting Ting have worn this before. Come…”
Wen Ruyu dragged Gu Qingyao over to her and also dragged Gu Fangting and Ji Mingyue out from behind her. The four of them pressed against each other.
“Look, don’t we look like a mother with her daughters?”
Gu Conghua, “…”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
At least she was sensible enough not to ask if they were like sisters! Gu Chonghua looked at his wife. He was really surprised.
But he soon smiled!
Not bad!
His wife had been a renowned beauty in her youth. She had suffered with him in the countryside for so many years. Now their lives had improved. She looked younger and younger when she dressed up!
“Ah ah ah…” Gu Chonghua began to laugh foolishly.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinhang had his eye on Ji Mingyue.
He knew that his cousins were very pretty and was used to them after so many years. But Ji Mingyue had surprised him.
The girl was his younger cousin’s friend, but his younger cousin had been away for so many years, so she did not interact much with the Gu family. She had never been to the Gu house either. He had seen her a few times, but every time, she looked dispirited, with a bowed head and a forced smile.
This time, her eyes were bright, and her lips were smiling. Her entire attitude had changed, and she looked much brighter.
And… also much prettier!
Gu Jinhang raised his brows. What a surprise! This girl was quite pretty when she dressed up!
Gu Jinhang’s lips curved in a small, slightly wicked smile.
Gu Chonghua gleefully pulled his wife over and examined her from head to foot. He smiled so broadly that his face creased into a mass of wrinkles. “Yao Yao! Your grandma looks so good when she’s dressed like that. You have to apply makeup for her more often, then I can bring her out to have fun and make all those old men envy me!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Fangting asked in a puzzled manner, “Make the old men envy you? Grandfather, Grandma looks so good. Shouldn’t old women envy her?”
Gu Chonghua dismissed her childish question. “What do you know? Your grandma looks so good. When we go out and other people see her, they will envy me for having such a beautiful wife. Their wives are all so old and ugly, their teeth are falling outx!”
Gu Fangting: “…”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Ji Mingyue: …
Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu had gotten along all their lives. Even though they were so old, they still had a warm relationship. The old man had always doted on his wife, and he knew how to flatter her.
Wen Ruyu was beaming at his flattery.
