CHAPTER 817: CHAPTER 819: THE VALUABLE BRACELET

"Mom, when is sister coming back?"

At the Gu Family, Gu Mingcheng looked towards Fang Yue and asked.

"Isn’t your sister resting upstairs?" Fang Yue was in a foul mood today after losing money at mahjong.

"No, I mean the second sister."

Gu Mingcheng corrected her.

"Second sister? She doesn’t even acknowledge us, where is there a second sister?" Fang Yue was infuriated. During the summer vacation, she called the Xu Family, but they said Xu Nianhua was busy at school and needed to come back home half a month later.

And now?

So much time had passed, and Xu Nianhua’s shadow has not been seen.

"It was you who lost the second sister, too. You didn’t raise her, how can you simply recognize her now?"

Gu Mingcheng argued.

"I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her, that’s a huge blessing." After saying this, Fang Yue saw Gu Mingcheng’s displeased expression and changed her tone: "Mingcheng, it’s not that Mom doesn’t want to acknowledge her, it’s that she doesn’t want to acknowledge us. You don’t know how cold she was when I went to Ningbei to find her."

"After all, I’m her biological mother. I kept trying over and over again to get close to her. Do you want your mom to suffer such grievances?" Fang Yue lamented, wiping her eyes as she spoke: "I’m also aggrieved. Back then, it was all because of that damned thief. I didn’t want your second sister to be stolen either!"

Fang Yue lamented tearfully, and Gu Mingcheng, being naturally soft-hearted, just sighed along and said: "But the nurturing grace is equally important. I saw her in the city a couple of days ago, and she didn’t acknowledge me. Her relationship with her brother is very strong."

"What did you say?" Fang Yue looked at him with teary eyes and asked: "She came to South City?"

"Yes, yes she did." Gu Mingcheng, being stared at by Fang Yue like this, felt a bit...

"She came to South City, why didn’t she come home?" Fang Yue bombarded Gu Mingcheng with a series of questions.

Gu Mingcheng didn’t know how to answer. Gu Mingzhu came downstairs heavily pregnant, saw the scene, and quickly interjected: "Mom, don’t frighten Mingcheng, let’s talk calmly."

"Mingzhu, be careful." Fang Yue always felt on edge whenever she saw Gu Mingzhu walk downstairs.

"Mom, what were you talking about earlier? I heard it all from upstairs?" Gu Mingzhu’s voice was soft and gentle, and Fang Yue’s irritable mood gradually calmed down. She said: "Nianhua returned to South City but doesn’t want to come home."

Fang Yue lowered her head, looking very forlorn.

"Mom, I can go to her place and find her." Gu Mingcheng offered proactively, but then, thinking of Xu Nianji, he hesitated. Still, he wanted to see Xu Nianhua.

"How about I go to the county and persuade Nianhua to come home? After all, you two are Nianhua’s biological parents." Gu Mingzhu suggested wisely, but Fang Yue immediately refused, looking at her protruding belly, she said: "Mingzhu, look at how big your belly is now. It takes two hours to get to the county, how can you manage that!"

"Sister, you better not go. If brother-in-law finds out, who knows how angry he might get." Although Gu Mingcheng and Gu Mingzhu weren’t very close, she was his true sister, and the baby in her belly was his little nephew.

"Alright, since you’re all so concerned about me, I won’t go. But you must deliver my thoughts." Gu Mingzhu took out a box, opened it, revealing a bracelet inside: "This was bought by Mom for the three of us siblings, there’s one for each of us and one for Nianhua. Mingcheng, you take it to Nianhua."
