Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Why Won’t You Call?

Translator: 549690339

The entire garden suddenly fell silent.

Xia Yangyang frowned as she looked at Gu Qichen.

What did Gu Qichen mean?

She never brought up the issue of the car, why did Gu Qichen have to say that? Gu Zhaohan was silent for a while, then muttered two words: “Thank you.” Gu Qichen spoke again, “All this time, I don’t seem to have ever heard you call her ‘aunt’. Does Yangyang mean nothing to our family in your heart?” Xia Yangyang finally understood.

Gu Qichen was pressuring Gu Zhaohan to call him ‘uncle’, hence the deliberate comment earlier.

This annoyed Yangyang quite a bit.

Firstly, Gu Qichen knew that Gu Zhaohan was older than him and was also his classmate. He greatly disliked being reminded of his status as his uncle!

Their relationship had been strained before, precisely because of this reason. Now that things were finally improving a bit, Gu Qichen brought it up again. Secondly, Xia Yangyang knew that Gu Qichen reminded her that she was Gu Zhaohan’s aunt to maintain a certain distance between them at all times. Though it seemed as if he was speaking to Gu Zhaohan, this reminder was likely for her.

Gu Qichen still didn’t trust her!!

Anger flared within Xia Yangyang!

As for Gu Qichen, his gaze gently and nonchalantly rested on Gu Zhaohan.

His tone when he spoke earlier was normal, not pressing, with even a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

But Gu Zhaohan was as cold as an ice sculpture, standing there without saying a word.

Gu Qichen’s tone remained unchanged, “Why don’t you call her ‘aunt’?”

Gu Zhaohan still didn’t reply.

At that moment, there was no expression on his face.

However, having interacted with him for a while, Xia Yangyang knew him better now.

He, like his uncle, presented a serene facade when his emotions were actually surging internally.

They masked their emotions well, but it didn’t mean they had none.

In Xia Yangyang’s view, Gu Qichen was bullying Gu Zhaohan.

Gu Qichen clearly knew about Zhaohan’s temperament and his discomfort with her status.

Zhaohan, already feeling undervalued at home, had a grandmother and mother who only doted on Gu Qichen. Now an aunt was suddenly added into the picture.

Yet, Gu Qichen was still forcing him to accept Xia Yangyang as a superior family member, which was like forcing him to lower his own status within the family.

This was cruelty to Gu Zhaohan!

Still, Gu Zhaohan didn’t want to respond.

He didn’t even want to meet Gu Qichen’s eyes.

He just held his head low, his car key box clutched tightly in his hand until his fingers turned white.

“Why won’t you call her. Do you not accept your status to this day, Xiao Han, what are you thinking?”

“Enough, Gu Qichen. You’ve gone too far!” Xia Yangyang suddenly erupted.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t bear it anymore. He had suspicions about her, but now even Gu Zhaohan was being suspected.

Gu Zhaohan was such a reserved person, didn’t he, as an uncle, know that?

She could tolerate being treated unfairly herself but now the unjust accusations had spilled onto Gu Zhaohan.

They were asserting things completely baseless, did he aim to stir the pot so that everyone lived in distrust?

How was she supposed to face Gu Zhaohan and the rest of the family members in the future?

Gu Qichen’s eyes darkened, his face gradually turned cold.

Xia Yangyang pushed Gu Qichen away and went straight back into the house.

Gu Qichen stood in place for a moment, then turned around and went into the house too.

Only Gu Zhaohan remained in place, staring fixedly at the brightly lit room and the figures of Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang inside. He silently disappeared into the night….
