Chapter 431: Block

The next morning, Gu Haojun, as usual, encountered Liu Miao at the village entrance while jogging.

"Brother Gu is jogging," Liu Miao said with a smile.

Gu Haojun nodded and ran past her without stopping.

"Brother Gu," Liu Miao called out from behind, seeing that Gu Haojun still didn’t stop, and said directly, "I have something to say to you. Can you spare me some time?"

"No time." Gu Haojun’s steps only paused slightly, and three cold words lingered in the air.

Previously, he had no particular feelings towards Liu Miao, just knowing she had a good relationship with Gu Lingling and Gu Juan and often visited the house.

But last year, when he returned home, he found that Gu Lingling was no longer foolishly bullied by Gu Juan like before and didn’t associate with Liu Miao.

Yet, Liu Miao surprisingly had a decent relationship with Gu Juan.

What kind of person Gu Juan was, didn’t Gu Haojun know? Even if he didn’t understand before, if he didn’t comprehend his sister after the events of the past year, he’d be a fool.

Just like closeness to vermilion makes one red and closeness to ink makes one black, how good can Liu Miao be when she is so close to Gu Juan?

Moreover, he really disliked Liu Miao’s calculating eyes.

In the army, Gu Haojun was at least a deputy platoon leader, and he had some skill in judging people, though he didn’t know why Liu Miao waited here specially for him.

But it definitely wasn’t anything good.

Besides, what was there to talk about?

He didn’t think there was anything worth discussing early in the morning here, alone with a woman. If someone saw them, they might wonder what was going on.

Liu Miao didn’t expect Gu Haojun to be so heartless. Previously when she went to the Gu Family to play with Gu Lingling, Gu Haojun was at least quite amiable to her.

How did he become so cold now?

If Liu Miao knew that it was because of Wang Peiling that Gu Haojun became wary of everyone except his sister and his loved ones, she would curse Wang Peiling to death.

"I want to talk about Lingling," Liu Miao took a couple of steps forward and said hastily.

Lingling?

Gu Haojun stopped his steps, "What happened to Lingling?"

Indeed, Liu Miao felt pleased inside; it seems she bet on the right horse.

Gu Haojun’s concern for Gu Lingling surely surpassed that for Gu Juan, which is why Gu Juan resented Gu Lingling so much. If it were her, she would hate it too.

"I don’t know how to say it," Liu Miao said, looking a bit conflicted.

Gu Haojun frowned, "Then don’t say it."

Is she trying to mess with him?

"No, Brother Gu, I really know I was wrong," Liu Miao hurriedly grabbed Gu Haojun’s coat, but he deftly avoided her.

"If you want to say something, say it. If not, forget it," Gu Haojun said.

"I know I did many things to let Lingling down before, but some things I was forced into," Liu Miao said, crying softly.

"What’s wrong with Lingling?" Gu Haojun said impatiently.

Why go around in circles?

"It’s like this," Liu Miao also sensed Gu Haojun’s impatience and quickly wiped her tears away, "I also work at the transformer factory. A few days ago, I heard something related to Lingling."

"Someone wants to ruin her reputation."

"Then why don’t you tell Lingling? And who is this person?" Gu Haojun asked, puzzled.

"Brother Gu, don’t ask who this person is, I can’t say," Liu Miao shook her head. "I can only say this person has a lot of authority at the transformer factory."

"Additionally, due to the things I did before, Lingling deeply misunderstands me, and she wouldn’t believe what I say."

"Alright, I understand," Gu Haojun nodded, "Thank you."

Having said that, he continued jogging, while Liu Miao gazed affectionately at his departing back until that silhouette was completely out of sight.
