Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Actually, Gu Shuxin wasn’t wrong.

When she lived with the Gu family, she had indeed acted as Gu Zifan’s older sister. Back then, the Gu family had considered letting her take the place of their lost daughter, so they hadn’t objected.

However, Gu Shuxin’s mistake was mentioning the word ”sister” in front of Gu Zifan now.

”No! You’re not my sister! You’re not my sister!”

Gu Zifan’s voice was filled with defiance. His face was etched with anxiety, as if he were rejecting her words with his entire being.

”Fanfan, how could I not be your sister? I’m Sister Ke’er!”

Gu Shuxin hadn’t expected Gu Zifan to get so agitated, nor had she considered what negative effect her words might have on him.

By the time she finished her sentence, Gu Zifan’s expression had grown much uglier.

”Gu Shuxin, shut your mouth!”

Gu Hengzhi saw the change in Gu Zifan’s expression, and his own face instantly grew cold. When he heard the name ”Ke’er” from Gu Shuxin’s lips, his expression became frighteningly cold.

Even Gu Shuxin was startled by Gu Hengzhi’s reaction.

”Brother, I...”

”This isn’t a good time. In the future, don’t come back unless it’s for something important.”

”Brother...”

’She was being kicked out again!’

”And another thing. I told you before that you are not to use the name ’Ke’er’ ever again!”

...

Stunned by Gu Hengzhi’s words, Gu Shuxin took a step back.

’So that was it. Gu Hengzhi’s anger was because of the name Ke’er.’

Ke’er. Gu Ke’er. The name of the Gu family’s eldest daughter, their little princess.

When she was first taken in by the Gu family, she had been allowed to use that name. But after she moved out, the name was taken from her.

And now, Gu Hengzhi was warning her to never use that name again!

’God, how she hated the name Gu Ke’er! And yet, a name she despised, she wasn’t even qualified to use! Not even to jog a little boy’s memory of her!’

”I... I understand.”

She was speaking to Gu Hengzhi, a man she was utterly powerless to defy. Gu Shuxin had no choice but to agree.

Once Gu Shuxin nodded, Gu Hengzhi stopped looking at her. He lowered his head, his expression full of concern as he began to soothe Gu Zifan.

Noticing that Gu Shuxin still hadn’t left, Gu Hengzhi looked up at her.

”I-I’m leaving right now. Goodbye, Brother!”

The moment Gu Shuxin turned and left the Gu family’s home, her expression changed instantly, and a tremor ran through her body.

What happened today was, for Gu Shuxin, the greatest humiliation she had ever endured.

’She would never forget this day!’

After Gu Shuxin left, Gu Hengzhi’s comforting gradually calmed Gu Zifan down.

”Brother, she’s not my sister! I don’t like her!”

Gu Shuxin thought children were the easiest to trick and coax. She didn’t realize that children are also the most sensitive; they have a keen sense for who is genuinely good to them and who has ulterior motives.

”Okay. If Fanfan doesn’t like her, then you don’t like her.”

”She used my sister’s name, too! Don’t let her use it!”

”Okay, we won’t let her use it.”

”Brother, I miss my sister!”

”It’s okay, Fanfan. I’m right here with you.”

Gu Hengzhi would do anything for Gu Zifan, but this was the one request he couldn’t grant.

”Brother, can you take me to find my sister? To find Sister Xiao Nian, please?”

”Sister Xiao Nian?”

An image of Shen Nian immediately surfaced in Gu Hengzhi’s mind. ’He couldn’t believe it. Several days had passed, and Gu Zifan was still thinking about that girl.’

”Yeah! I’d want her to be my sister!”
