Chapter 37: Encounter

Yang Yunhai was extremely satisfied with the dumplings he had.

But he couldn’t quite understand, wasn’t Gu Lingling that girl doing fine earlier? Her eyes squinted like a happy little cat.

When she left, though, she was wearing a dark expression. How could that be because he scared her? Clearly, she had an issue with him, didn’t she?

Yang Yunhai expressed that he wouldn’t take the blame for this.

What did he say?

He just casually asked if anyone from her family came out looking for her yesterday, and then mentioned He Yue’s father.

That was all.

Liu Jun shook his head, took the keys, and went to take the brother and sister home.

After the car drove away, Wang Meili and her daughter, who were hiding behind the tree, finally came out.

"Mom, since when did Gu Lingling know such an important person?" Gu Juan clutched Wang Meili’s arm.

Today, Wang Meili gritted her teeth and took her daughter for a lavish meal, only to encounter He Yue and his father coming out of the police station, especially seeing the police chief fawning over that man.

Wang Meili’s eyes were almost popping out.

She knew that man; he was a colleague. When he first moved to the city, he passed by her house.

Originally, Wang Meili pulled Gu Juan to try to get closer to them, but unexpectedly, they saw Gu Lingling.

How did Gu Lingling get to know this man?

"That little slut, not being watched for a few days, and now she’s fooling around with men." Wang Meili cursed under her breath, gritting her teeth.

A man like Yang Yunhai should be matched with her daughter Gu Juan.

Leaving with a car, having a dedicated driver, and being respected wherever they went.

"Daughter, don’t lose hope. We can’t be sure what the situation is yet." Wang Meili comforted her daughter, "Judging by the way Gu Lingling looked just now, she probably isn’t that close to the man. You see, he didn’t even personally see her out."

He just had the driver take her out.

Alright, Liu Jun was merely a lowly driver in the eyes of this mother and daughter.

"Right, she must be shamelessly clinging to him." Gu Juan said through gritted teeth.

From the attitude of the police chief just now, and the fact that someone even opened the car door for that man (actually Liu Jun was concerned since Brother Hai was still injured), Gu Juan was amazed by everything she saw.

Oh, if only she could be like that man!

To be the wife of a leader, having a car to ride and people to curry favor with—it felt absolutely marvelous.

"No, all of this should be mine." In Gu Juan’s mind, scenes of her own triumph and nobleness unfolded—this was the life she, Gu Juan, should lead.

"Mom, let me tell you, I must marry this man. You have to help me." Gu Juan stomped her feet, "That damn girl Gu Lingling, when we get back, you must help me teach her a lesson."

"Don’t worry, Juanzi." Wang Meili whispered a few words in Gu Juan’s ear, "Just wait, once I get into the transformer factory and have no use for that damn girl anymore, I’ll help you get revenge."

The mother and daughter whispered for a while behind the tree, originally hoping Yang Yunhai would come out for a serendipitous encounter.

But as it got late and Yang Yunhai still didn’t come out, the two could only leave silently.

Their eyes were filled with reluctance, such a grand house—it was impressive.

If it could become theirs, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Cars and houses, those were things they didn’t even dare to dream of.

If Gu Lingling saw this scene, she’d surely be disgusted by the blatant greed of this mother and daughter.

"Let’s go. He’ll pass by our village in the future, and there’ll be plenty of opportunities. My daughter is so beautiful." Wang Meili patted Gu Juan’s shoulder, "Your brother is also a soldier, so you have more in common."

Previously, she thought he was dirt poor, but she misjudged.
