Chapter 15: The Evening
Sitting on the flying machine sent by the original owner's father, Gu Pinyao kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking. This is a two-seater flying machine, commonly known as a flying car. Although she represents the Yule family, it is obvious in the simple cabin that the original owner's father does not care about her.
"Miss Paya, are you okay after leaving the family?"
It was the son of an old maid of the Yule family, named Conch. In the memory of the original owner, Conch always tried to protect her when others bullied the original owner, and was once punished by his nominal mother for not being allowed to eat, and several times when he was almost hungry and fainted, he sent her the nutrients he secretly saved. She knows that under the other party's simple and simple appearance, there is a delicate and transparent heart. It is also the rare sporadic warmth of the original owner in the cold family.
"Conch, I'm okay, how are you doing?" Gu Pinyao asked gently, looking at Kang Qi with a pair of clear blue eyes.
Seeing Gu Pinyao, who had become very moving without bangs to cover it, Kang Qi hung his head shyly, and his ears were red.
"I, I'm not bad. After I graduated, my family called me back and told me to be a guard in the courtyard, and I have been there ever since. "Conch is actually lucky, his parents are both commoners, and their qualifications are mediocre. However, he has earth-based abilities, and his physical fitness under school training far exceeds that of ordinary people. The children of servants like Conch would have grown up to be expelled from the family and struggle to live in the slums. The family saw that he had potential, and his parents were loyal old servants, so they recalled him.
"Well, that's not bad, congratulations. What's going on in the family right now? ”
"Nothing has happened in the past few years, and the family has bought a farm to build a fruit and vegetable base. In addition, Miss Dolly has recently been dating the third son of the Wesley family, and she should be engaged. After speaking, he also secretly glanced at Gu Pinyao, he knew that Miss Paya had a wood-based ability when she was a child, and this time the family called her back to meet Master Gyllenhaal, I am afraid that they wanted her to stay on the farm. However, seeing that Peiya, who looked much better after leaving home, and the person also added a little color, he felt that the other party was actually very good living outside, and the family was an alternative prison for her.
Listening to the other party's words, Gu Pinyao's eyes flashed, and he noticed something. But before she could speak, the craft had already reached its destination. After getting out of the car to say goodbye to Conch, she came to the hall according to the memory of the original owner, and saw a group of flowery women talking about something. But as soon as she entered, the group fell silent, staring at her incredulously, as if scanning for any strange scars or something. But when I looked at her old dress, I couldn't stop laughing.
"Yo, isn't this my second sister Peiya, who was expelled from the family? Look at your changed appearance, it can't be that you secretly ate something good, right? ”
It was the eldest lady in the second room of Yule's family who spoke, and she had hated the original owner since she was a child. At the beginning, the beauty of the original owner's mother overwhelmed their second room, but fortunately, after death, the appearance of the helpless original owner was inconspicuous, and her heart was still balanced. But seeing the person in front of him who hasn't been home for many years, his appearance is far better than that of the previous Peiya. Yuer (Gu Pinyao), she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Sensing the malicious eyes around him, Gu Pinyao lowered his head, rubbed his hands tightly, and hunched over to hide himself, looking timid and cringe.
"Sister Mia, I've been in the slums, and I don't have to drink nutrients occasionally, how can there be good things."
"Hmph." The other party glanced at Gu Pinyao's clothes, looked at her dull and yellowish skin, and didn't want to lower his style to talk to her. In terms of the income level in the slums, she believes that Gu Pinyao can't afford to buy any good cosmetic surgery drugs for herself.
"The slums still produce talent. Sister Peiya has a wood-based ability, and if she is chosen by the master tonight, she will be prosperous in the future, but don't forget our old people. A tactful soft voice suddenly interjected, and the light yellow wavy long skirt outlined her graceful figure, with a smile on her lips, with sweetness and charm. A pair of big eyes were as gentle and clear as morning dew, looking at Gu Pinyao softly, as if he was joking, and the coldness under his eyes was seen through by Gu Pinyao at a glance.
Gu Pinyao smiled hypocritically and said.
"Eldest sister, I've been stupid since I was a child, I'm afraid there is no hope this time, just live this life plainly, don't dare to ask for anything." The woman in the yellow dress who spoke was the original half-sister, who was gentle on the surface but was actually thoughtful, pretending to be a sister in front of her, and bullied the original owner behind her back.
"Even if Sister Peiya is unfortunately not chosen, she can return to the family. I heard that the clan farm is still recruiting recently, and my sister's wood-based ability is just enough to use, even if she can't control the ability, she can use tools to cultivate crops like a servant. "A daughter of a family goes to be a maid, and she feels happy to think about it. Even if this daughter is not favored, it is still a joke.
"Okay, what are you all doing here? I haven't packed up yet, and I'm ready to leave for the party. Tonight is a big gathering of the family, even if you don't have hope of being a disciple of Master Gyllenhaal, there will be a lot of celebrities and nobles of the right age on the field, you should show yourself well, don't lose the face of the Yul family. A majestic male voice broke the noise, looked indifferently at the group of colorful female dependents, and finally looked at Gu Pinyao with a solemn expression, as if he was testing something.
"Yes, Master."
"Peiya, you have to behave well." After speaking, the middle-aged man who was strict left lightly, but added a few pairs of malicious snoops to Gu Pinyao.
Gu Pinyao couldn't help but secretly hold her forehead, the hatred value around her continued to increase, how could she escape safely. I don't want to have any contact with the original owner's family anymore, but obviously, the family won't let her go. Escape to an alien planet? She has no power now, and it is impossible for the family to leave here without knowing it. Stay on the farm? She probably won't be able to get out. Then there is still a way out, being favored by Master Gyllenhaal, and leaving with the master, at least you can protect yourself. What could she do to get the Master's attention?
Until he arrived at his destination, Gu Pinyao still didn't come up with a suitable way. Seeing the staggered competition in the hall not far in front of her, she shook her head, got out of the car and followed the daughter of the family inside.
"Old Harry, I heard that your grandson also has a wood-based ability, so I'm afraid you can take the line of Master Gyllenhaal this time. Don't forget your brother in the vegetable business, and leave us some soup to drink. ”
"Everywhere, there are several families in this rich area that have children with wood-based abilities, and my little Harry may not be chosen." Although he said it so modestly, the pride in his eyes was clear at a glance.
"I believe in you, now that everyone is trying to start a farm, you must come to me when you have the chance."
"Ian, we've been friends for so many years, brother, I'm sure I'll still work with you when I have a chance."
"Cheers, cheers, and bless us a bright future."
"."
As soon as Gu Pinyao came in, she hid in the corner and wanted to be a transparent person, but when she heard the conversation between the two wealthy businessmen in front of her, she felt that this time Master Gyllenhaal was not as simple as it seemed.
"What are you doing here? Let you go back to your home early to change your clothes, did you come here in tatters to disgrace the family's face? ”
Before Gu Pinyao could think of anything, a burst of irritable scolding came at her overwhelmingly, interrupting her thinking.
"Father, father, I don't have any clothes." Seeing the person coming, Gu Pinyao began to lower his head, shrank aside, and replied timidly.
"Forget it, I don't have much hope. Hurry up and follow me to the master, and if you are not chosen, you will go to the family farm. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, he really didn't care much about this mediocre daughter, if he didn't have clothes, he wouldn't have a chance to wear them in the future.
"But father, I still have a job in the slums."
"The family wants you to look up to you, and push the work in the slums back to the farm." The father of the original owner looked very impatient, and his tone of voice became more and more impatient every time, and he pulled Gu Pinyao tightly and walked towards the center of the crowd.
While walking and watching, there was an endless stream of people walking towards the center around him, and Gu Pinyao fell into thought. Why did the original owner family want the original owner to go to the farm? It stands to reason that the daughter of her own family does the work of a maid, even if she is not favored and is known by others, her face is dull. They didn't have much contact before, and it was impossible to know that the original owner had changed, and the supermarket could not be exposed. What exactly is the reason?
