Chapter 736: Why Are You Asking About This?

Gu Yingying didn’t know that her cousin Gu Wanqing, whom she was eagerly waiting to return to Beijing, had already returned and reunited with her husband and daughter.

Thinking of her own plan, she casually asked, "Dad, wasn’t my cousin supposed to arrive in the south by the end of the year? Where is she now?"

Gu Hongrui recalled the news he received earlier in the year, "I really can’t say. How could I possibly know your cousin’s schedule?"

He couldn’t help but look at his daughter again, "Why are you inquiring about this?"

Gu Yingying peeled an orange casually and handed it over, "I’m just thinking that if Cousin is back in Beijing, it would be nice to go and say hello. The more we interact, the closer we become, that’s why I’m asking."

Gu Hongrui sternly warned his daughter, "Back then, if it weren’t for your cousin’s family taking us in, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We must remember this kindness.

Now that we’ve returned to the country first, it’s out of trust from your cousin’s family. We can’t have any other thoughts that would let them down."

Gu Yingying was well aware of her father’s values, "Dad, I remember."

At this moment, Liang Yifang came over with tea, "What are you two talking about?"

Gu Yingying quickly stood up to give her a seat, "Just asking Dad when Cousin will be back in Beijing, so we can be prepared."

Liang Yifang naturally understood her daughter’s thoughts, but her husband was somewhat stubborn and not as tactful as their daughter at times, "Yingying is right. We should offer a helping hand when the time comes.

Previously, we were taken care of by the cousin’s father abroad. It’s only right to give back. We may not have many skills, but since we returned to the country first to settle down, we can surely offer some help. Naturally, the more we interact with relatives, the closer we become."

Gu Hongrui was stubborn, but not devoid of common sense. He naturally understood the intentions of his wife and daughter, but he thought they should realize that settling in Beijing was something Wanqing could handle with just a word; there was no need for them to be overly attentive.

They should not overstep and upset the young lady, as that would be counterproductive. "The matters of your cousin’s return to the country will be arranged by Wanqing. You don’t need to worry about it."

Liang Yifang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Gu Hongrui, "Recognize our position. We are just a side branch. We have what we have today because of your cousin’s father’s kindness, and we should cherish it."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Yingying, "The fact that you can study at Beijing University is thanks to your cousin. If you had to take the exam yourself, I’m afraid you might not have gotten in. We must remember this favor.

You’re aware of our own circumstances, so don’t put on any airs at school. Frankly, we’re just benefiting from your cousin’s connections. Do you understand?"

Gu Yingying, although reluctant to hear this, knew her father was speaking the truth, "Dad, I understand."

Her intention to get close to her cousin was to establish a good relationship, hoping to gain more favor in the future.

Although her father hadn’t told them much about the cousin’s family matters, she had eavesdropped while staying at the overseas estate. She knew that her cousin had married in China but unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last long before the Gu Family encountered problems.

Before leaving the country, the cousin’s father arranged for her to be brought along. Over the years, she hadn’t remarried, probably still hoping to reunite with her previous husband back home.

But she had thought about it countless times, wondering which man would remain faithful for so many years for a woman. It’s possible that the man had long since remarried and had children.
