[Yes, you can't just give advice about being in love.]
Gu Shaohua looked at Lin Tingyue, Lin Tingyue blinked and said, "Hello, Auntie."
Gu Shaohua grasped Lin Tingyue's hand and said, " Tingyue, we owe you a lot this time."
"Auntie, it's all Ningning. Ningning has been very calm the whole time."
"Auntie still wants to thank you."
If it weren't for Lin Tingyue's words, they probably would have been kept in the dark for the rest of their lives.
Over there, Gu Xuebing finally pushed open the door to the ward.
As soon as she entered, Wen Rui's niece knelt down in front of her.
The little girl cried her heart out, saying that she and Wen Rui were truly in love and hoped that Gu Xuebing could give them her blessing.
[Ugh, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!]
The little girl sobbed, looking pitiful, and said, "Auntie, I know I'm wrong, but things have already come to this. You might as well separate from Uncle."
Gu Xuebing raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "Are you out of your mind?"
The slap made Wen Qiao's head buzz. She covered her face, "Auntie, even after all this, you still want to..."
Wen Qiao was dumbfounded because Gu Xuebing slapped Wen Rui again.
"Honey, let me explain. I was just blinded by greed."
Gu Xuebing retorted angrily, "You're not the one who's blinded by greed, I am! Get out, you two pieces of trash!"
After Gu Xuebing finished scolding, she left.
The three people, looking at each other in bewilderment, chased after her, only to find Gu Xuebing muttering to herself as she walked, "It's okay, it's okay, what's the big deal? I'm rich and beautiful, I can find any man I want. Trash should hang out with trash."
"I've been around trash for so long, will I get infected and turn into trash too?"
Gu Shaohua was both amused and exasperated. Just as she was about to reach out and take her sister's hand, a trolley came towards them. The person on the bed was convulsing and looked quite serious.
Passersby were buzzing with discussion, speculating about what had happened.
[That guy just now... he cheated on his wife and kids by going out to do that, he took too much medication, he's probably going to have a stroke.]
[Oh dear, what am I going to do? He has a pregnant mistress on the side.]
Before this was even over, another one came from over there.
[This one is even more outrageous: an old man in his seventies or eighties was harassing young girls on the street, and ended up getting beaten up by the girls' boyfriends.]
ah?
Gu Xuebing was stunned, even forgetting her sadness.
Since things have come to this, let's just enjoy the show.
Chapter 49
[Tsk tsk tsk, he's quite handsome, but why the heck did he have to put a light bulb in there?]
Gu Xuebing stared silently at the handsome man with the strange walking posture.
[Tsk tsk tsk, she looks like a caregiver, but she's only a caregiver during the day; at night she becomes a companion, doing two jobs at once.]
Gu Xuebing: "!"
[She accused her daughter-in-law of not loving her son enough, so she took matters into her own hands, had an affair with her son, got pregnant, and insisted on giving birth to the child, who turned out to be mentally challenged.]
Gossip really is a good medicine for healing wounds. Gu Xuebing cheered up and was no longer heartbroken. She grabbed Gu Shaohua's arm and said firmly, "Sister, I want to divorce Wen Rui."
Gu Shaohua patted Gu Xuebing's hand approvingly and said, "Okay, I support you."
Lin Tingyue and Ying Ning both came over, "And us too."
Deep emotion welled up in Gu Xuebing's eyes. What did it matter if she lost Wen Rui? She still had them who supported her.
Afterwards, Gu Shaohua accompanied Gu Xuebing to see a lawyer, Ying Ning and Lin Tingyue went to see a movie, had dinner, agreed to meet again next time, and then went home.
Lin Tingyue only realized she had guests when she entered the living room.
Bai Yaxin took the initiative to introduce Lin Tingyue, saying, " Tingyue, this is your Uncle Che and his son Ziming."
Lin Tingyue sat down next to Bai Yaxin and said, "Hello, Uncle Che."
[I vaguely remember this Uncle Che having a melon.]
Bai Yaxin: "!"
Che Xiuqi squinted at Lin Tingyue before saying, "In the blink of an eye, Tingyue has grown so much."
[Is the next line going to be something like, "I used to hold you when you were little?"]
"Look, our two families rarely see each other. Tingyue doesn't even recognize me anymore. I used to hold you when you were little."
[really!]
Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong looked at each other in silence, only drinking their tea.
Distracted like this, Lin Tingyue forgot about the melon and started chatting with Fan Qing.
After putting down his teacup, Lin Rusong asked, " Old Che, is there something you need from bringing Ziming along this time?"
Che Xiuqi paused for a moment before saying, "It's like this, Ziming and I came here for two reasons: first, to congratulate you and your husband on finding your long-lost daughter; and second, to discuss their marriage."
Bai Yaxin and asked, "The marriage?"
Seeing Bai Yaxin's attitude, Che Xiuqi wasn't angry. He said good-naturedly, " Yaxin, have you forgotten the promise you made with A-Lan?"
Che Xiuqi's wife, Wu Lan, was a good friend of Bai Yaxin. They were both pregnant at the same time and ended up in the same hospital when they were about to give birth. They both felt that it was a great coincidence.
When they went downstairs for a walk, they would joke with each other, saying that if they had two sons, they would become sworn brothers, and if they had two daughters, they would become sworn sisters. But if they had a boy and a girl, they would stay together when they grew up.
But Bai Yaxin and Wu Lan both knew it was just a joke.
Arranged marriages were no longer common in their time; everyone pursued free love, especially children.
It all passed quickly with a few laughs and jokes.
Wu Lan divorced Che Xiuqi ten years ago and immigrated abroad. The Lin Family and the Che Family then lost contact. Bai Yaxin really didn't expect that Che Xiuqi would come knocking on her door because of a joke.
Bai Yaxin clenched her hands, instinctively feeling that Che Xiuqi had ill intentions.
You want to covet her two daughters? No way!
Bai Yaxin said in a deep voice, "It was just a joke, did you really take it seriously?"
Her words were so impolite that Che Xiuqi's expression changed. " Yaxin, you can deny what you've said? Does the Lin Group even care about its reputation?"
Che Xiuqi then looked at Lin Rusong, " Old Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Rusong would definitely side with his wife and daughters. It was obvious that the other party was after his two daughters, and they even dared to treat his wife badly.
If he doesn't make his stance clear, is he even human?
Lin Rusong said calmly, " The Lin Group wouldn't let such a small matter damage its reputation, and our Lin Family has no intention of forming a marriage alliance with your Che Family."
Each one more assertive than the last, the Lin Family is now thriving, and the couple speaks with greater confidence.
"You..."
[Sigh, he's acting quite convincingly. Doesn't he know that his son and his daughter's best friend are already in a relationship?]
Is that true?
Bai Yaxin even more disgusted. "Our Xiawan and Tingyue, even if they were to get married, would choose someone with good character and someone they genuinely like. Your son, it seems... doesn't fit either mold."
Bai Yaxin saw Che Xiuqi's expression clearly. If Che Ziming's character was sound, Che Xiuqi would only feel anger.
But beneath his anger lay a hint of guilt.
Did he know that his son had someone he liked?
This isn't how you break up a loving couple!
[Ah, so that's how it is. He himself has fallen for his daughter's best friend, and it was love at first sight. But it wouldn't look good if word got out that father and son were vying for the same girl. So he thought he'd first arrange his son's marriage, let his son and the girl develop feelings for each other over time, and forget about his best friend. Then he could...]
[Seriously, do you think all women are easy targets?]
Even after all this, you still dare to harass them? Lin Rusong slammed down his teacup and said sternly, " Che Xiuqi, please leave immediately."
Che Xiuqi couldn't hear Lin Tingyue's inner thoughts, and he didn't understand why Lin Rusong and Bai Yaxin's attitudes had suddenly become so resolute. He wanted to continue acting for a while longer, "Is your Lin Family really this heartless?"
[Huh?]
You're so fickle; you've taken a liking to your son's girlfriend!
Seeing his father so groveling while the other party remained arrogant, Che Ziming couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and said with pride, "Dad, didn't you see they didn't want to talk to you at all? I told you long ago I wasn't coming; I already have Xiaomai!"
[You're a grown man, perfectly capable of living, and not tied up, and now you're all lovey-dovey? What were you doing just now?]
In Lin Tingyue's eyes, both father and son were hypocrites.
Upon hearing Che Ziming's words, Che Xiuqi almost covered Che Ziming's mouth with his hand, whispering, "What do you know!"
Just then, Mama Zhang came over and said, "Madam, Master, there is a Ms. Zou Mai outside. She says she is looking for the two Mr. Ches."
Lin Tingyue's eyes lit up.
[This is going to be incredibly exciting!]
Bai Yaxin to herself, "Let her in."
" The Xiaomai has arrived."
Before Che Xiuqi could stop him, Che Ziming had already run out to get Xiaomai. Seeing this, Che Xiuqi had no choice but to follow him.
The Lin Family followed closely behind.
On the path, Che Ziming hugged Zou Mai tightly. After the Che Xiuqi, he raised his hand, which was intertwined with Zou Mai's, and said, "Dad, Xiaomai and I are truly in love. Please give us your blessing."
[Tsk tsk tsk, it's not that your dad doesn't want to help you two, it's just that he's envious himself.]
Che Xiuqi said with a stern face, "No."
Although it's immoral to steal your son's girlfriend, since you're the father Ziming he's the son, the son should give way to his father.
Besides, isn't everyone saying nowadays that we should bravely pursue our love?
"Dad, tell me why it won't work?" Che Ziming was getting impatient. He glanced at the Lin Family beside him and said in a desperate tone, "Yes, I know, Xiaomai doesn't have the Lin Family's background, but I genuinely like her!"
