Chapter 566: First Come, First Served

"Who are you?"

Suddenly being interrupted like this, Xu Qin was very displeased. She turned her head and first saw someone in a military uniform, followed by the voice of a woman.

Since her back was to the door, Xu Qin didn’t get a clear look at their faces, but from Wang Shuyun’s words, she could tell this person was here to compete with her son for his bride.

But just a poor soldier.

Xu Qin sneered sarcastically, "Talking big, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Capital City’s Yang Family? Who’s the Yang Family? Very impressive?"

Though she wasn’t from the Capital City, her son had been there for two or three years, and her sister was married there.

The reason she came to the Gu Family to propose was that she listened to her sister’s advice.

Unexpectedly, the small Gu Family was actually connected with people from the Capital City, so when her sister came back some time ago, she specially told her about it.

It just so happened that Wang Qingfeng mentioned this Gu Lingling was his classmate.

Although her son didn’t show much on the surface, she gave birth to him, so how could she not know the little secrets in his heart?

Otherwise, why would he immediately mention they were classmates after a few words from his aunt?

But it made sense, such a good-looking girl was bound to be liked.

"Impressive or not doesn’t matter." Wang Shuyun said with disdain, glaring at her son, "Even if she hasn’t married into our family, I’ve treated her like a daughter. Don’t talk about being the eldest daughter-in-law; I can afford even the best."

Is this encountering a tough cookie?

Xu Qin was a bit angry, "What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you see people talking business here? No manners at all."

"Oh, manners, huh? I do have them." Wang Shuyun thought seriously and said, "But it depends on who it is. Someone’s trying to steal from our family, and I’m supposed to be polite?"

Wang Shuyun shot Xu Qin a ’I’m not dumb, you know’ look.

"In-law, how’s your health?" Wang Shuyun walked into the room and said to Old Sir Gu, "I came uninvited; you won’t mind, will you?"

She originally planned to come over when Yang Yunhai got engaged, but coincidentally there was a business trip to Qin City, so Wang Shuyun took the initiative to come over.

Luckily she made this trip.

Otherwise, their daughter-in-law could have been snatched away without them knowing.

Of course, Gu Lingling wouldn’t be that easy to take away.

But this son of hers was still not dependable.

The bride hadn’t even been married yet, and he could be this careless?

With Gu Lingling being such a good girl, he had to keep a close eye on her.

"Of course, you’re welcome, in-law." Old Sir Gu and Gu Chunhai responded with a smile. Gu Chunhai added, "Lingling went next door. I’ll go call her."

Earlier, when Xu Qin arrived, he had found an excuse to send Gu Lingling to the house next door to Gu Tongzhou.

"Old Sir... you can’t..." Xu Qin panicked upon hearing this, "There should be some order of precedence, right?"

Hah, order of precedence?

"You stay here; I’ll go find her." Yang Yunhai greeted and said to Gu Chunhai, striding out with his long legs.

He left the place to his mother, Wang Shuyun.

Wang Shuyun, "..."

This son of hers wasn’t dumb, still knew to grasp the key point.

"Take her out for some fun, no rush to come back here." Wang Shuyun advised from behind.

"Qingfeng, what are you standing there for? Hurry and find Lingling; at least you’re old classmates." Xu Qin said to her wooden son.

How could he mess up at such a crucial moment?
