Chapter 429: Overthinking

Gu Haojun frowned silently, took his basin of water into his room.

"Grandma, I’m going to stay at my grandpa’s house for a while." Gu Haojun said before closing the door.

"This child, what’s the point of going to your grandpa’s?" Old Mrs. Gu comforted the aggrieved Wang Peiling with her eyes, "Our family has split, even if you go, your grandpa won’t let you in."

"It’s inconvenient at home." Gu Haojun changed his clothes and slung his backpack over his shoulder, "Besides, since I’m back, I should go see my grandpa."

"I’ll come back in a few days."

"You... You rascal, I forbid you to go." Old Mrs. Gu stopped him, saying, "What? Your grandpa doesn’t want us anymore, why are you going back? You are not allowed to go."

"Grandma, I’ve already talked about my affairs last time, so please don’t worry about it." Gu Haojun said with a faint smile, "I already have someone I like. If you all continue like this, then I won’t come back anymore."

After saying that, he grabbed his bag and slipped past Old Mrs. Gu and left without looking back.

Wasn’t last time’s lesson enough?

Do it again? Gu Haojun is not that foolish.

"This boy." Old Mrs. Gu stomped her foot in anger, while Wang Peiling just felt a burning pain on her face.

Humiliated twice.

Before leaving, Gu Haojun took a trip to the transformer factory, "I’m going back for a while, in case you want to find me. Come back if you’re on holiday."

"Okay, big brother." Gu Lingling was glad that Gu Haojun had such awareness.

Who knew, when evening came and Gu Haojun was strolling around the village with Old Sir Gu, he unexpectedly ran into Liu Miao.

Judging by her appearance, she must have hurried back to the village.

"Brother Gu, you are back." Liu Miao said with a smile, "Grandpa, how have you been lately?"

Unsolicited friendliness often hides ulterior motives.

The two nodded lightly in return.

Fortunately, Liu Miao didn’t bother them any further, said goodbye, and went home.

The two of them didn’t take the matter to heart.

Liu Miao turned around and revealed a determined smile.

Meanwhile, at Old Mrs. Gu’s house, Gu Juan sarcastically said to Wang Meili, "I really don’t understand what you’re thinking. Are you afraid my brother won’t alienate you, so you make such a scene?"

"I thought you had it figured out last year." Gu Juan said with a faint smile, "If my brother could be attracted to her, then his years in the army would have been wasted."

"It’s just that I’m anxious, okay?" Wang Meili felt a bit aggrieved being rebuked by her daughter, "Your brother is in his late twenties and still not married."

"So you brought that fool here again?" Gu Juan’s voice raised significantly, "Is the whole world’s women extinct, leaving only Wang Peiling?"

"You want an obedient daughter-in-law, but my brother has to be willing." Gu Juan said flatly, "Not to mention, with someone like Wang Peiling, do you think she’d be obedient if she married in? Be careful you don’t raise a thankless wretch."

Wang Meili was rendered speechless by Gu Juan’s reproach.

She suddenly felt that her daughter had changed a lot over the past year. Sometimes, she couldn’t even guess what she was thinking.

Just like now, she had thought these things before, but just not so deeply.

"You should focus on winning back my brother’s heart." Gu Juan stretched lazily, "Don’t lose a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed. Don’t worry about my brother’s marriage any longer."

"This... this child, how can you say we’re meddling?" Old Mrs. Gu said, puzzled.

They were all doing it for Gu Haojun’s good.
