The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Sure enough, Gu Nian'an quickly withdrew his hand and said with a look of disgust: "I don't want it, I'll keep this money for you to save your life!"

Humph, a mere ten taels of silver is nothing compared to her future wealth and glory!

Not only did Gu Suining take the red carved crane brush, he even didn't take the bag that the wet nurse had packed. He just left the temple directly after saying "I will never wear these old clothes again in the future".

Outside the dilapidated temple, there were carriages belonging to the Jiang and Han families parked respectively.

After Jiang Zhitong and Han Mingzhang expressed their intentions, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, they agreed to leave from different roads after the carriages picked up the people. They had already gone to wait halfway in advance, not participating in the decision, leaving enough space for Gu Suining and the others to discuss the choice.

In other words, for them, no matter who they adopt, they are all orphans of their deceased relatives, and there is no difference in their hearts at the moment.

Just like in the previous life, the wet nurse did not choose to go with them, but stood at the door of the dilapidated temple and watched them leave.

Just like in her previous life, Gu Suining left all her remaining jewelry to her, but this time she secretly stuffed it into the wet nurse's package to avoid any excuses.

The carriage traveled for about an incense stick of time and then stopped. Gu Suining lifted the curtain and saw Jiang Zhitong.

After getting off the carriage, she bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Zhitong looked to be in his thirties, with a gentle appearance and temperament. When he looked at Gu Suining, his eyes were loving yet a little unfamiliar.

"You are Sui Ning, right? No need to be so polite. From now on..."

Jiang Zhitong originally wanted Gu Suining to call him daddy from now on, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Gu Suining had just lost his father, and he was probably still in grief, so he froze there, unable to say the words.

"I understand, father, thank you very much." Gu Suining gave Jiang Zhitong a knowing smile.

She was only twelve years old, and had just experienced a great change and became homeless, so she was thin and pale at the moment, but her smile was frank and peaceful, which made Jiang Zhitong feel less embarrassed and unfamiliar.

"Good boy, don't worry, your father will definitely take good care of you in the future."

"Okay, thank you, father." Gu Suining responded gently and obediently.

Jiang Zhitong has only one son in his family these years, and he has a bad temper. Most of the time, the relationship between father and son is chaotic.

When he first met Gu Suining and Gu Nian'an, he was a little nervous, not knowing how to get along with a daughter who suddenly appeared. But during the following journey, he found that it was really hard not to like Gu Suining.

Although the journey was tiring, she did not show any sign of being squeamish.

The carriage broke down on the way, but she didn't complain at all. Instead, she turned around and comforted her impatient self.

Even during the past few days of accommodation and meals, she was well-behaved but not rigid, not very close to him, but respectful and appropriate to him, occasionally pointing out his omissions when they were on the road. This made Jiang Zhitong sigh in his heart, she was indeed worthy of being the daughter raised by Brother Gu.

Of course, this feeling was quickly broken when he met Gu Nian'an and Han Mingzhang.

"Waiter, serve all your signature dishes."

When a clear female voice came from the restaurant, Gu Suining and Jiang Zhitong had just walked to the door, preparing to have lunch here.

Jiang Zhitong didn't hear it, but Gu Suining immediately recognized it as Gu Nian'an's voice.

When I walked in, I found that it was indeed Gu Nian'an and Han Mingzhang.

Gu Nian'an was wearing a brand new embroidered dress with double butterflies and flower ornaments. The material and workmanship were obviously not cheap. Even the pearl hairpin on her head had been replaced with a new purple jade hairpin. At first glance, she looked like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family.

Gu Nian'an also noticed Gu Suining, and when he saw the half-worn dress on her, he immediately let out a sarcastic laugh.

In my previous life, after I left with the man named Jiang, I at least got a few new clothes and lived a good life.

Look at Gu Suining's condition. Jiang Zhitong didn't even buy her a new dress. Gu Suining's future life might be even worse than her previous life!

Moreover, even if she could live a good life at the beginning, the annoying Jiang family's only son Jiang Mushi alone was enough to give Gu Suining a headache. He would never recognize Gu Suining as his sister!

Noticing Gu Nian'an's gaze, Han Mingzhang followed his gaze and also discovered Jiang Zhitong and Gu Suining.

This place is not far from the Imperial City, and it is the only way to enter the Imperial City, so it is not surprising to meet here. However, the Han family took a shortcut, and Jiang Zhitong did not expect that they had not yet reached the Imperial City.

Jiang Zhitong and Han Mingzhang knew each other after all, so it would be strange if they pretended not to know each other. But thinking that no one here knew them, they didn't make any trouble. They just greeted each other and sat down.

While waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes, Gu Nian'an spoke again, "Dad, I want a new bracelet. Can we go to a nearby jewelry store after dinner?"

She raised her voice deliberately so that she could speak for Gu Suining to hear.

Han Mingzhang frowned. It was not that he was reluctant to spend money on Gu Nian'an, but he had already wasted a lot of time on this trip. Now that they were almost at the imperial city, he wanted to hurry back home.

However, after all, she was the daughter of an old friend, and thinking of their old friendship, Han Mingzhang nodded and agreed.

"Okay, buy it if you want it."

"Thank you, Daddy!" Gu Nian'an said happily, not forgetting to give Gu Suining a proud look.

Seeing this, Gu Suining just smiled faintly and didn't care at all.

After all, the affection between people is limited. Now Han Mingzhang can still care about the old relationship, but after all, they are not biological father and daughter. If Gu Nian'an continues to waste time like this, I'm afraid that the friendship between the old friends will not last long!

Jiang Zhitong was sitting opposite Gu Suining, so he naturally heard these words.

Gu Nian'an's word "Daddy" sounded very intimate, but it made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

After all, his biological father had just passed away less than a month ago, and he changed his words so quickly, and even called him so affectionately and without any reservations, which inevitably made people feel a little cold. In comparison, Sui Ning was sensible and made people feel comfortable.

When Jiang Zhitong heard Gu Nian'an asking for the bracelet, he realized belatedly that he had been so busy traveling that he forgot to buy some new clothes and jewelry for Gu Suining.

Looking more closely at the comparison of Gu Nian'an's and Gu Suining's clothes, Jiang Zhitong felt more and more guilty, and quickly said to Gu Suining: "Suining, wait until after dinner, your father will take you..."

"Father, let's hurry up and get on the road after dinner." Gu Suining interrupted Jiang's father with a smile.

"But……"

"You can buy new clothes at any time, but my father has been away from home for so long, the family must be waiting anxiously."

Gu Suining's words were so considerate that Jiang Zhitong instantly felt warmer. "Good boy, when we get back to the imperial city, I will ask your mother to help you pick out more things. Buy whatever you like."

Gu Suining smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, father."

Han Mingzhang, who was standing by, heard this conversation and couldn't help but look at Gu Suining a few more times. He thought to himself, I heard that Gu Suining is only one year older than Gu Nian'an, but he seems to be a lot more sensible than Gu Nian'an.

Gu Nian'an was thinking about the Jiang family's bankruptcy in the near future, and sneered at Gu Suining's words. Naturally, he did not notice the regret in Han Mingzhang's eyes.

The setting sun melts gold.

After walking for another half a day, Gu Suining and his companions finally arrived at the Jiang family at dusk.

Zheng, who had received the news in advance, was waiting at the gate of the mansion. When she saw the carriage coming, she was happy that her husband had returned, but also a little nervous.

I don’t know what kind of temperament the daughter of the Gu family has and whether she is easy to get along with.

However, when she saw Gu Suining coming out of the carriage, her eyes lit up instantly...
