Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chang Fei snapped back to reality, opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

Should he say, no, I don’t want to be your son, I want to be your son-in-law?

Chang Fei was sure that if he said such words, he’d probably be chased out by this usually kind father with a broom.

But... he really felt unwilling!

What about being an adopted son?

It’s not like he’s their own child. In the end, most of the Chang family’s belongings would probably still go to Chang Jiujiu.

What could he, this adopted son, get? He’d even have to take care of Chang Gensheng in his old age!

If he were a son-in-law, how great would that be—Chang Jiujiu would bring the entire Chang family into marriage with him, then both wealth and beauty would be his.

Why? Why was all this turning out different from what he imagined?

There were many things he wanted to say in his heart, but under the eager gaze of Chang Gensheng, Chang Fei could only open his mouth and say somewhat unwillingly, "Son is just too happy."

And so, this matter was settled.

Seeing this, Chang Gensheng’s expression slightly softened. He said, "Then go and rest well, the county exam is coming soon, take care of your health."

A completely dejected Chang Fei left the room, not noticing the much cooler look on Chang Gensheng’s face.

Watching Chang Fei walk out of the room, Chang Gensheng’s expression finally relaxed.

As a businessman, he completely noticed the unwillingness, even mixed with a hint of resentment, on Chang Fei’s face after he announced his plans.

Resentment?

What was there to resent?

Chang Gensheng asked himself if he’d ever done wrong by Chang Fei; if it weren’t for him buying Chang Fei back then, who knows what his life would be like now, let alone the good life he has now?

Chang Gensheng sighed. He never imagined that, despite a lifetime spent reading people, he’d make such a big misjudgment.

Thankfully, he saw it clearly in time, otherwise Jiujiu...

Thinking of his daughter, a chill of fear rose in his heart.

He silently made up his mind that he’d be very careful in finding a good husband for Jiujiu.

Once he made the decision, Chang Gensheng acted quickly.

He spent some Silver, prepared a few tables of food and drink, and personally invited many close neighbors and relatives to their home.

After this meal, everyone knew that the owner of the fabric shop, Boss Chang, had taken in the child he raised since young as his adopted son.

In matters like this, people were just watching the excitement and took turns praising Chang Gensheng for his kindness, saying he’d have good fortune in the future.

The most aggrieved person on the entire banquet was Chang Fei.

Clearly feeling very uneasy inside, he still had to put on an appearance of happiness and gratitude.

After all, he was only sixteen and far from reaching the level of concealing his emotions, causing many to notice something was off: this newly minted young master of the Chang family didn’t seem too happy?

So after the feast dispersed, a few neighbors who had good relations with Chang Gensheng mentioned it to him quietly.

He remembered these people’s goodwill in his heart. Outwardly, he could only say it was probably because the county exam was soon, and Chang Fei was under a lot of pressure.

But in his heart, his opinion of Chang Fei had worsened considerably.

Gu Shengyin was the happiest in her heart.

Although she knew her father wouldn’t stand by and do nothing, she didn’t expect him to act so quickly. In just a few days, he resolved the matter between Chang Fei and her.

Now that Chang Fei had honored her father with tea and kowtowed in front of so many people, he was officially a member of the Chang family.

When others thought of Chang Fei and Chang Jiujiu, they’d only think of them as siblings and nothing more.

Next, she just needed her good brother to achieve a "good score."
