In November, Gu Lingling received a large package, with no name on it.
When the postman delivered the receipt, Gu Lingling was at home teaching Zhao Siâen how to pickle vegetables.
Holding the postal receipt, Gu Lingling was still wondering who it could be from?
The package was sent from Haidu, and Gu Lingling thought she might know who it was.
But why?
Lv Guodong said before he left that he was going to Shanghai, right? Itâs been almost a year, why would he suddenly want to send her something? And a bunch of food and clothes, there was even a red down jacket.
This thing is much warmer than their winter cotton coats, and crucially, itâs lightweight.
Gu Lingling wanted to return the package, but it seemed the sender had anticipated her thoughts and only wrote Gu Linglingâs address when sending it.
Fearing she wouldnât accept it, they even wrote Gu Chunhaiâs name on it.
Gu Lingling sneered, thinking she would take it just because of that? So she wrote another address and forwarded everything inside the package to Wang Xintao.
What Gu Lingling didnât know is that when Wang Xintao received the package, her happiness was beyond words! It swept away the depression from the recent childâs issues.
Her eldest son finally reached out, and he thoughtfully sent her so many things, heâs really grown up!
There was even money stuffed inside the package!
Wang Xintao was in tears, feeling all her recent grievances were worth it.
For the sake of her two sons, she could endure anything!
Lv Guodong had put a phone inside the package, and when he received Wang Xintaoâs call, he was completely bewildered.
Package? What package?
"Your brother really liked all that food, and the clothes for mom were very suitable, but theyâre just too red, very bright." Wang Xintao rambled on the phone, and the more Lv Guodong listened, the more it sounded like the package he sent to Gu Lingling, his face darkened instantly.
He was worried Gu Lingling wouldnât accept it, so he deliberately didnât write down his name and address, but he didnât expect she would still figure it out.
Lv Guodong felt a bit helpless.
Nearly a year has passed, the dream has been a constant in his life, sometimes getting up in the middle of the night, Lv Guodong thought, lying on the bed alone, not of Wang Xintao but of Gu Lingling.
This dream felt more like their experiences in a past life.
"Guodong, are you listening to mom talking?" Wang Xintaoâs voice came through the phone.
"For the sake of you two brothers, mom wonât let that bitch succeed." Wang Xintao vowed determinedly over the phone.
"Ma," Lv Guodong rubbed his brow, "if he... you just get a divorce, Iâll bring you and brother over, Iâll take care of you both."
Lv Guodong didnât expect Wang Meiliâs ability to be truly significant, thinking about Wang Meili in the dream, wasnât she just someone good at scheming?
Even the lawsuit he got involved in was all orchestrated by Wang Meili, just so he would not be able to stay in Qin City and elope with Gu Lingling.
And indeed he did, but what was the result? His and Gu Linglingâs reputation was utterly ruined.
Like rats crossing the street, hiding everywhere.
Lv Guodong often thought, if in the dream, he hadnât eloped with Gu Lingling, and instead stayed to solve the problems, then he and Gu Lingling wouldnât have had to go hungry.
Everything was orchestrated by Wang Meili.
But in the dream, he and Gu Lingling were too foolish to believe Wang Meiliâs words.
"If you donât want to get a divorce, wait for me to come back and Iâll help you get revenge!" Lv Guodong said, whether the things in the dream were true or not, bullying Lv Guodongâs mom, did they think Lv Guodong was dead?
"Guozi, thereâs a ship coming in tonight, the boss wants you to keep an eye on it." Someone said to Lv Guodong on that side.
"Got it, Brother Cheng." Lv Guodong took a long drag on his cigarette, tossed the butt on the ground, stamped it out, and walked out.
