"No." Gu Haojun looked at Wang Meili in confusion, unsure why she suddenly reacted this way, "Whatâs wrong?"
"Whatâs her family situation?" Wang Meili sat up straight and asked.
"She has a grandma," Gu Haojun said, "Sheâs a very filial girl, also cheerful and optimistic, I feel very comfortable being with her."
Itâs a feeling heâs never had before.
No matter what difficulties he encounters, it seems talking to her would always clear things up.
She seems to never have any unhappy moments; every time he sees her, sheâs always so happy, and she spreads that happiness to everyone around her.
Gu Haojun is one of those people.
He hadnât told his family, that he got injured during a mission, if not for Liu Juanhaoâs care and encouragement, he might never have stood up again.
And wouldnât have achieved what he has today.
"Just a grandma? Isnât that like being an orphan?" Wang Meili said angrily, "How can such a stubborn girl enter our family?"
"Haojun, listen to your mom, go back and cut it off with her." Wang Meili pleaded earnestly, "You have such a promising future in the military, find a female soldier or something, itâs a life decision."
"Yeah, Haojun, your mom is right." Old Mrs. Gu chimed in, "That girlâs fate is hard, if you marry her, she might bring bad luck to our family."
"In my opinion, Peiling is quite good."
"Mom, weâre talking about Liu Juanhao now." Wang Meili interrupted Old Mrs. Gu, "Haojun, can I stop pushing you now? Find a female soldier peacefully in the military, such people can help you with promotions."
"What can Liu Juanhao do with just a grandma? Sheâll only hold you back."
"Her grandma is a very capable person, you havenât met her, so you donât know," Gu Haojun said, "And I, Gu Haojun, never need to rely on a woman for promotion."
Gu Haojun didnât say that Liu Juanhao is an orphan, picked up by Old Mrs. Liu since she was young, growing up with her grandmother who is a very wise elder, respected by everyone who knows her, whether in the village or the military.
Itâs said that during difficult times, she was the first to support the militaryâs development.
"Fine, wonât you listen to anything I say?" Wang Meili angrily sat there wiping away tears, "Ever since your dad died, Iâve been raising you siblings through thick and thin, is this how you repay me?"
"I donât agree to this marriage, and donât bring her home during New Year." Wang Meili threw down this remark and went back to her room.
"Haojun, listen to Grandma." Old Mrs. Gu said painfully, "Donât fight with your mom, sheâs suffered enough."
"Listen to Grandma, that girl has a hard fate, look, without much ado, sheâs already driven you and your mom apart." Old Mrs. Gu patted her grandsonâs hand.
Gu Haojun smiled helplessly.
Should he destroy his lifeâs happiness just to avoid angering Wang Meili?
He just couldnât understand, why is the same situation treated completely differently at Uncleâs house compared to his own?
Why do Uncle and Grandpa think Liu Juanhao is wonderful, with a firm and optimistic character able to endure hardship, confident theyâll live a good life?
While his own mom only thinks sheâll hold him back?
Is Gu Haojun really so incapable that he can only rely on women?
