‘Even if the child turns out to be a girl, it wouldn’t be a big deal to raise her.’

Gu Jing angrily snorted, “If that’s the case, how will you explain this child to your future wife? What girl of status is willing to marry a man with a child and become a stepmother straight off?”

Gu Fei turned to look at Gu Jing and had a thought. ‘Gu Jing is pregnant but hasn’t announced it to the public because it hasn’t been three months yet. Since that’s the case…’

“Sis, why don’t we say the child is yours after Du Juan gives birth? We can tell everyone that you gave birth to twins. What do you think?” Gu Fei suggested, practically patting himself on the back for his brilliant move.

Gu Jing froze and subconsciously reached out to touch her stomach. Gu Xiang jumped up and said, “That’s a great idea, Mom! It’s a fantastic idea! It’s the best solution to all our problems! Gu Jing, just treat it as raising one more child.”

Gu Jing looked toward her two elder sisters and mother. Bai Jie, Gu Rou, and Gu Wan exchanged looks and nodded. “Gu Jing, we’ll have to trouble you to care for the child.”

“Whoo!” Gu Fei heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Greatjob, me! It seems like I’m quite smart, after all, being able to come up with such a terrific idea in a flash of inspiration,’ he smugly thought.

Gu Rou couldn’t stand his puffed-up demeanor and coldly stated, “Now that this matter is resolved, what were you doing in ‘Devil’s Hamlet? Do you know what kind of people visit that bar?”

A hint of unease flashed through Gu Fei’s face, but then he annoyedly replied, “Big Sis, I was just curious. Stop monitoring me, will you? Focus on your own family instead. Why didn’t you say something about my brother-in-law when he went to a nightclub with a hot girl a few days ago?”

Gu Fei angered Gu Rou so much that tears welled in her eyes. “1 wouldn’t have to do this if you could just behave yourself, ” she cried.

Bai Jie stared daggers at her son. “That’s enough! Gu Fei! How can you speak to your sister like that? She’s doing this for your own good! Do you think it’s easy for her? She’s been running around all over the place for your sake, yet you still hurt her heart like this.”

Gu Fei knew he’d misspoke and reluctantly apologized, “I’m sorry, Big Sis. I was wrong. I won’t fool around anymore.”

Gu Rou could no longer hold back her tears. She sat to the side and took the tissue Gu Jing had handed her without saying anything. “Gu Fei,” Bai Jie sighed, “you know how much your sisters have sacrificed for you. Where’s your conscience? Your sisters have given up so much; you must stand strong and be their stalwart support when you take over the Gu family in the future! Do you understand?”

“When a woman marries, she can only have a firm standing in her husband’s family with the support of a powerful maiden family. All five of you are siblings —family—so you need to help each other! Especially when we’re facing internal and external problems like right now! * Cough* *cough* *cough*”

The five siblings saw that Bai Jie was getting worked up and quickly went to comfort her. Bai Jie calmed herself and took a deep breath. “Gu Ping and Gu An’s families are hellbent on having your great-uncle Gu Bei adopt one of their kids because then they would have a chance to take a share of our main family’s assets. Gu Fei, you’re our family’s only male heir; do you really think you have the time to think about such nonsense?”

Gu Fei lowered his head. The best thing he could do at this moment was to remain silent and, at least, maintain a good attitude. Seeing her son’s obedient behavior, Bai Jie felt slightly better, and her voice softened as she said, “Chang Hui wants to let Uncle Gu Bei adopt Gu He even though he’s the only male heir in their branch family. I know what she’s planning. Gu Fei, don’t ever go to those kinds of places again. Unless…”

Gu Fei was baffled. “Unless? Unless what?”

“Unless you can bring your cousin Gu He along,” Bai Jie replied expressionlessly.

Her four daughters were stunned. Gu Xiang blurted out, “Gu He’s only sixteen years old…”

Gu Wan rolled her eyes at her and said to Gu Fei, “Mom’s right. Gu He is your younger cousin. As the older cousin, you should share anything new or fun with him.”

She added, “But do keep in mind that Gu He is quite spoiled by Auntie Chang Hui and is a little tyrant. He’s always been very insolent, so be careful not to tick him off. Whatever your little cousin wants to play or do, let him. As his older cousin, you just have to accompany him. Just follow his wishes and let him have his way! Do you understand?”

‘Even a fool could understand that!’ Gu Fei thought before he quickly smiled and answered, “Got it, sis! Don’t worry. Although I’m a good-for-nothing younger brother, I’ll definitely be a good older cousin. I’ll certainly bring my younger cousin out to experience the world!”

Bai Jie, Gu Rou, and Gu Wan relaxed while Gu Jing and Gu Xiang lowered their heads.

“Your great-uncle Gu Bei’s assets can only belong to Gu Fei!” Bai Jie stated firmly. “He’s a member of our family, which means his assets belong to us. Outsiders can forget about touching it! And that goes double for Yun Nan; her adoptive mother can’t even be considered a member of our Gu family, let alone her—an unrelated adopted daughter. Gu Rou, you have to inform your father about this again.. He has to understand the stakes!”
