Mr. Gu, Your Replacement Bride Is A Big Shot!

by Qiao Nian’s sweet words, so she decided not to acknowledge her father.

Qiao Nian was really too cunning.
She was so scheming.
It seemed that she had to be more careful in the future, lest she be tricked by Qiao Nian.

Song Man’s expression darkened and her tone was cold.
“Xiao Shi, we had a hard time living in Hai Cheng.
Back then, I worked so hard to raise you because I hoped to find our family.
Then, we wouldn’t have to work so hard in the future.”

“We were often bullied in Hai Cheng and have relied on each other until now.
Mommy thought that we would all work hard to make each other happy.
Why do you push happiness away?” Song Man’s frown deepened, and her voice became sharp.

When Gu Qi heard Song Man’s words, he felt more and more uncomfortable.
He slowly lowered his eyes and his gaze inadvertently landed on Song Man’s remaining hand.

Her hands were fair and delicate, and her fingers were long and slender.

Such hands must not have done any heavy work.
Gu Qi couldn’t help but frown.

He had seen Xiao Shi’s hands.

Xiao Shi’s hands were covered in scars and calluses.
It was obvious that she had done a lot of work.

Why were Mommy’s hands smooth and delicate, but her hands were old and rough?

Gu Qi recalled what Song Man had just said.
He had a strange feeling in his heart and muttered softly, “Do you just want to find Daddy and use him to let you live a luxurious life?”

Gu Qi didn’t understand.
Didn’t one have to fight for a happy life?

Song Man’s expression changed drastically.
Her heart jumped to her throat as she looked at him in shock.

How could this child be so sharp?

She was too smart!

However, she quickly calmed down.
She had always been smarter and more sensible than others when she was young.
It was normal for her to think of this.

Song Man hurriedly shook her head and explained eagerly, “When you were young, Mom felt sorry for you.
You were the little princess of the Gu family to begin with.
You should have been living a carefree life, but when you were in Hai Cheng with Mom, you had to live a poor life.
Mom didn’t want you to live such a hard life for the rest of your life, do you understand?”

Gu Qi looked at Song Man expressionlessly, his heart gradually sinking to the bottom.
