The profound disappointment surged once again in Gu Haojunâs heart.
He seemed to understand more and more why his Second Uncle was so decisive about splitting up the family back then.
"So what do you plan to do?" Gu Lingling asked, "Are you just going to give up?"
"How could I." Gu Haojun shook his head with a smile, "I will not give up."
Letting go of such a good girl, he didnât know if he would ever meet such a wonderful girl again in his life.
"I think..." Gu Haojun gazed at the blue sky and said, "I think I want to first get the marriage certificate over there."
"Youâll bless me, wonât you?" Gu Haojun asked.
"Of course." Gu Lingling said with a smile.
Gu Lingling suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Gu Haojun. Having a mother like Wang Meili was seriously a predicament.
First, she wanted to make him wear a green hat, and now she ambitiously wants her son to climb higher and marry into some senior officerâs family, or something like that.
Gu Lingling really didnât know what Wang Meili was thinking every day.
Is it that easy to court the daughter of an officerâs family?
Taking a step back, even if Gu Haojun did manage to pursue and marry her, all his efforts would be overlooked in the future. Whenever people mentioned Gu Haojun, they would just think that he was successful because he depended on his father-in-law.
For Gu Haojun, who rose from grassroots through his own hard work, this would be an insult.
Gu Haojun found solace with Gu Lingling, and after gathering his feelings, returned home to find Gu Juan sitting cross-legged, eating sunflower seeds.
The day he came back to the state-run restaurant, he almost didnât recognize that it was his younger sister if he hadnât heard Gu Juanâs voice.
"Brother, youâre back." Gu Juan stood up, clapping her hands, "Iâve been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Haojun frowned at Gu Juan, "Hurry and fix your hair, and those clothes...you..."
"Everyone at our workplace dresses like this." Gu Juan said, "But never mind, nowâs not the time to talk about my stuff, letâs chat."
"Chat about what?" Gu Haojun asked.
"Chat about that Liu Juanhao." Gu Juan said, "How did you two meet?"
Gu Haojun looked Gu Juan over, then recounted how he was taken care of by Liu Juanhao when he was injured.
"So you just fell for her like that, big brother?" Gu Juan laughed exaggeratedly, "That woman really has a scheme, you were tricked by her."
"What care? Itâs clear she took a fancy to you and wanted to be close to you." Gu Juan said disdainfully, "Iâve seen many women like that. Big brother, itâs not that Iâm not helping you, but your taste in women is really not good. You should quickly drop the idea of marrying her."
"Juanzi is right." Old Mrs. Gu said as she got off the kang, she had been listening to the siblingâs conversation just now.
With Gu Juanâs analysis, she also realized that Liu Juanhao was simply a fox spirit, too cunning.
Look at how sheâs bewitched her eldest grandson.
"Peiling is still better, listen to Grandma, marry someone you know well..."
"Grandma, alright, please stop mentioning Wang Peiling, youâre going to disgust my brother to death." Gu Juan now naturally knew about the factory matter.
"What happened?"
"What? Wang Peiling is pregnant, and neither you nor my mom noticed." Gu Juan was really exasperated, just that caliber of a person is making a fuss in their house. Once sheâs free, she must properly teach Wang Peiling and Liu Miao a lesson.
Each one involved actually targeted her brother.
