He did want to invite Gu Juan to eat together, but knowing that she didnât get along with Gu Lingling, insisting on having them together would be awkward for everyone, even for him.
However, he did not expect to run into Gu Juan so directly.
"Who is this?" Gu Haojun glanced at Zheng Peng and asked.
"This is my partner, Zheng Peng." Gu Juan introduced, "Zheng Peng, this is my older brother, Gu Haojun. As for these few, I think I donât need to introduce them; you all know each other, right?"
"Maybe the big brother doesnât know yet, but Zheng Peng also works at the transformer factory."
"Hello, Brother Gu." Zheng Peng greeted Gu Haojun with a sullen face. In the past, upon learning this was his future brother-in-law, Zheng Peng certainly wouldnât have spoken to him in this manner.
But, his Juanzi felt so wronged. What kind of brother is this?
"Juanzi, whatâs the relationship between Brother Gu and her?" Zheng Peng feigned curiosity, "You said you had a real brother, is it this person?"
Gu Juan tugged at Zheng Pengâs clothes, "Brother, you all take your time eating. Zheng Peng, letâs go."
"Okay, Iâll listen to you." Zheng Peng said with a smile, "Weâll order some of your favorite dishes later so you can have a good meal."
"Brother Gu, weâll be leaving first then." Zheng Peng said and led Gu Juan to sit at a table not far from them.
Gu Haojunâs expression was very unpleasant.
The originally pleasant dining atmosphere was completely ruined.
"Finished eating? If so, letâs go." Gu Lingling said, "Thanks for today, big brother. Iâm full."
Wasnât she sickened by Gu Juan?
Zhao Jingmiao gave her a glance, "Exactly, we still need to rush back to work later."
"Is that person also from the transformer factory?" On the way, Gu Haojun asked Gu Lingling.
"Yes, heâs the son of Secretary Zheng from our factory." Gu Lingling said with a smile, "Brother, how long are you back for this time?"
Not really wanting to discuss Gu Juan and Zheng Pengâs matters with Gu Haojun.
"I have about ten days of leave." Gu Haojun said, "I wonât be coming back for the New Year."
Gu Haojun is now a deputy company commander in the army, and since heâs not married, he lets others take the New Year holiday while he remains on duty alone.
"Didnât you mention last time that thereâs a girl you like in the army? Howâs that going?" Gu Lingling asked, "If things are going well, then just get married quickly."
"This time Iâve come back mainly to talk to the family about this matter." Gu Haojun said, blushing at the talk of the girl he likes, "Oh, she also brought something for you."
"Have you told her about our family situation?" Gu Lingling hesitated and asked.
"She knows everything." Gu Haojun replied with a smile, "Sheâs an orphan. Knowing our familyâs situation, she expressed that she understands. She says as long as I know whatâs right and wrong, itâs fine."
As for Wang Meili and Old Mrs. Gu, it all depends on Gu Haojunâs attitude.
Gu Lingling thinks this girl called Liu Juanhao is really quite good; just from those few words you can see sheâs a smart person.
She likes dealing with intelligent people.
"Brother, remember to find me before you leave. I also have something to give to the future sister-in-law." Gu Lingling said with a smile.
However, that very night, Gu Lingling had a dream.
In the dream, her sister-in-law wasnât Liu Juanhao but turned out to be Wang Peiling, and not long after, Wang Peiling became pregnant, purportedly with her older brotherâs child.
After ten months, Wang Peiling gave birth to a baby boy.
Gu Lingling was frightened by the appearance of that boy, who looked nothing like her older brother, nor Wang Peiling.
The neighbors all said, this child definitely wasnât Gu Haojunâs.
