Chapter 91: Chapter 91: A Good Show

Gu Fuqiao knew Old Mrs. Gu was formidable, but every time she saw her rebuke the unruly siblings, she couldn’t help feeling a bit pleased. However, at the current dinner table, it was just her, Father Gu, Mother Gu, and Ouyang Xuan.

She was at a complete disadvantage, so Gu Fuqiao decided not to eat anymore. Just as she was putting her bowl and chopsticks aside and preparing to get up, Ouyang Xuan stopped her, saying, "Ah Jiao, it’s been such a long time since I last thought of you. I wonder if you’ve thought of your cousin?"

If normal siblings said this, there’d be no problem... but since Ouyang Xuan said it, the words took on a completely different and somewhat sleazy undertone.

Gu Fuqiao glanced at him indifferently and said, "Good actually, I coexist peacefully with my Yan Camp Commander at home and have friendly exchanges every day."

Normally, she referred to Yan Zhen Guo as either my Zhen Guo or Old Yan, but calling him Yan Camp Commander in front of Ouyang Xuan was an intentional warning—this is a military marriage; don’t attempt to cause destruction.

Sure enough, right after Gu Fuqiao finished speaking, a momentary blank stare appeared on Ouyang Xuan’s face, but he quickly sat down and chatted cordially with Mother Gu.

Gu Fuqiao was too lazy to listen to the specifics of their conversation, which was likely about inquiring after Mother Gu’s health and whether she’d been experiencing morning sickness. A surgeon, acting as an obstetrician—though given Ouyang Xuan’s perverted nature, being an obstetrician suited him well, albeit slightly twisted.

After saying she was full, Gu Fuqiao turned and went upstairs. Upon returning to her room, she locked it tightly.

After all, with Ouyang Xuan the pervert in the house, one had to guard against fire, theft, and him!

After finishing her meal, Gu Fuqiao felt somewhat sleepy from it and lay down on the bed for a nap, pondering when Ouyang Xuan, the perverted cousin, would leave. Staring at the snow-white ceiling, she suddenly sensed something amiss and sat up abruptly.

"Something’s off! Ouyang Xuan seldom comes to the Gu Family, so why did he show up today just as I arrived? Moreover, Ouyang Qing had been driven away earlier, but based on her personality, if she had returned, why wasn’t she at the meal? There’s definitely something fishy... there’s definitely something fishy!" Gu Fuqiao thought, perhaps this time Ouyang Qing and Ouyang Xuan were teaming up to plot against her.

Unless Ouyang Xuan still hadn’t given up on the original protagonist, which shouldn’t be the case since he never liked her, otherwise he wouldn’t act so ambiguously while flirting with other girls.

Gu Fuqiao’s mind seemed to weave a thread that connected everything.

What Ouyang Xuan wanted wasn’t anything else, perhaps just the Gu family fortune! After all, the Ouyang Family was no longer as prosperous as the Gu Family, and Ouyang Xuan’s job was secured through the Gu Family’s influence.

"Human hearts are sinister, human hearts are sinister!" Gu Fuqiao touched her chest, feeling relieved that she had transmigrated here; otherwise, according to the original protagonist’s ending in the book and her infatuation with Ouyang Xuan, eventually the Gu family’s wealth would surely end up with Ouyang Xuan.

Recalling Granny Gu’s situation, despite her shrewdness throughout her life, with such a brainless original protagonist, it’s unfortunate that this vast fortune might fall into outsider hands.

Just as Gu Fuqiao was lamenting, the tightly locked door suddenly got knocked.

She looked at the door cautiously, secretly guessing that the person outside might be Ouyang Xuan, so she sat firmly on the bed, even slowing her breath.

The person at the door, seeing no one come to open it, continued knocking.

"Knock knock knock," sounded the knocking from behind the dark door, and at this moment, Gu Fuqiao nervously clenched the bedding beneath her, wishing Ouyang Xuan would just leave... he either committed crimes or thievery upon arrival.

"Cousin, open the door!" Finally, the person at the door found it unbearable seeing Gu Fuqiao not opening it and spoke.

Gu Fuqiao was stunned, releasing her hold on the bedding, realizing it wasn’t Ouyang Xuan but Ouyang Qing.

But even so, Gu Fuqiao still didn’t intend to open the door. Her room was on the second floor, while Old Mrs. Gu’s was on the third; if they were really planning something against her, how could she possibly fight back?

Seeing Ouyang Qing still knocking, Gu Fuqiao pretended to have just woken up, "You... is there anything you need..."

"I have something to talk with you about, sister, open the door." Ouyang Qing’s voice came from outside, increasing a bit as if trying to wake Gu Fuqiao.

But Gu Fuqiao hadn’t slept at all, she slowly lay down on the bed, pulling a nearby quilt over herself, "I’m very sleepy, let’s talk later."

Having said this, Gu Fuqiao ceased responding, and just then, she heard a click of the lock turning.

Seeing the lock open, Ouyang Qing sneered inwardly, fortunately Ouyang Xuan prepared thoroughly, even obtaining the key to Gu Fuqiao’s room.

"Sister, your door wasn’t locked, so I came in to chat." Saying this, Ouyang Qing pushed the door open, but surprisingly there was no one on the bed! She opened her eyes wide, and at this moment, something fiercely struck her neck!

Ouyang Qing only felt pain at her nape, about to turn around when she was hit a second time.

This time, darkness covered her vision; she slumped and fell to the ground.

From behind the door, Gu Fuqiao felt a sense of relief after facing the danger. She quickly caught the unconscious Ouyang Qing; she wasn’t light, requiring all her strength to hold and prevent her from falling to the ground.

Gu Fuqiao glanced outside the door, seeing no trace of Ouyang Xuan, she closed the door, returned the iron art used to hit Ouyang Qing to the table, and painstakingly dragged her onto the bed.

Staring at the unconscious Ouyang Qing on the bed, Gu Fuqiao recalled that Ouyang Qing hadn’t been normal since apologizing at the hospital, probably intended to lure her back.

Although Gu Fuqiao didn’t know Ouyang Qing’s plan, she thought of using the situation to her advantage, pulling the blanket over Ouyang Qing’s head, pretending she was in the bed.

Then she immediately left, shutting the room’s door behind her, running into Mrs. Li’s room.

Upon seeing Gu Fuqiao suddenly arriving, Mrs. Li curiously asked, "Miss, why did you come here suddenly?"

"I ate too much and can’t digest it well, so I’m walking around." Gu Fuqiao forced a smile, thinking perhaps an interesting scene might soon unfold.
