Chapter 187 Seeking Gu Xun's Help

"Absolutely not, sister. Why do you always assume the worst of others?"

Suddenly, the conversation shifted, "Sister Wu, you must understand the hardships of raising a child alone. Before I met Jianfeng, I had to get up early and work late to haul and sell goods while also taking care of my child. People often tried to lower the price because I was a woman. I worked non-stop all year round, and the money I earned was barely enough to make ends meet..."

After rambling on for half an hour about her personal hardships and her love story with Yun Jianfeng, Aunt Qu noticed her friend's emotional expression, as if she was about to cry. With her rich life experience, she quickly spoke up: "Life in this world is all about 'suffering.' Look around on the street and ask around. Who isn't suffering? Look at you now. Your clothes are made of the finest fabric, and the jewelry you wear is all from the display cases. You wear makeup and high-end perfume. Your face is fair and smooth. You can tell you eat very well. And look at your hands. They're so white and tender. You don't look like you've ever done hard labor!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lifang's empathy vanished instantly. She looked Jiang Yan up and down and, just as Aunt Qu had said, she didn't look like someone who had done hard labor at all; she seemed more like a pampered lady.

"Sigh, who can argue with that? If we were still living the hard life we ​​had before, we wouldn't have thought of bringing Xiaxia over. Jianfeng has already started looking for ways to transfer Xiaxia's household registration here."

Upon hearing this important information, Wu Lifang's heart skipped a beat. She knew the relationship between Director Liu and Yun Jianfeng. "Xiaxia said she won't move to your place. She's always been very opinionated. Go home and persuade Jianfeng to give up this idea as soon as possible."

"Children should listen to adults, Sister Wu. I've come here today to ask you for a favor. When Jianfeng takes Xiaxia away, please don't stop him. Surely you wouldn't do something like this, sowing discord between father and daughter?"

"Don't give me any of this nonsense. Xiaxia doesn't want to leave, and no one can force her. Madam Jiang, in principle, when you're in business, there's no reason to turn away customers. But you've been here for over half an hour and haven't even picked out a single piece of candy. I suppose if you're not satisfied with the goods in the supermarket, you might as well go and take a look elsewhere!"

The intention to drive customers away was quite obvious. Jiang Yan tucked a curl behind her ear and took a pack of wet wipes from the counter. "Who said I'm not buying anything? Here, checkout!"

After paying, she put the wet wipes into her elegant leather handbag. "Sister Wu, why do women have to make things difficult for each other? Please think about my suggestion carefully when you get back, otherwise next time... let's start with politeness before resorting to force, understand?"

After saying that, she swayed her hips and left the shop. Yang Zhaodi was so angry that she kept clenching her fists. If Aunt Qu hadn't stopped her, she would have definitely pulled her scalp and stripped her clothes off.

"I just remembered I have an urgent matter at home, Aunt Qu, could you please stop by the checkout?"

"Okay, hurry back!" Aunt Qu had also heard about the household registration transfer, so she must be worried about it.

Wu Lifang smiled gratefully, took off her apron, and rode her old bicycle home.

"Can the household registration be signed even when the person isn't present?" Yunxia asked doubtfully after hearing Aunt Wu's concerns.

“Don’t forget, you’re still a minor, and your guardian is still Jianfeng. How about… I go find Director Liu and ask him to stop it?”

After thinking for a moment, the girl shook her head. "No, if I really go to Uncle Liu, it will give people something to talk about. Besides, their relationship goes beyond just growing up on the same street."

According to Liu Xiaonian, after resigning and being laid off, Aunt Xu started a clothing business. She sourced her goods from Nancheng, and the materials, styles, and colors were all top-notch. The key was that the prices were cheap, and she soon made back her investment, and her life became increasingly prosperous.

You can guess who the supplier is without even thinking about it; the strongest relationship in the world is one based on mutual benefit.

"Then... what should we do?"

"Aunt Wu, don't worry, there's always a way out. I'll go find Gu Xun first. He has a lot of connections and might be able to help!"

"Okay, let's discuss it as a family when Ah Chao comes back tonight!"

Jiang Chao, a computer programming major, found a part-time job as a network administrator and is currently writing code at an internet cafe!

The girl was a woman of action; she did what she said she would do. She slung her bag over her shoulder, took a bus, arrived at the abandoned bridge, met Gu Xun who was wearing a mask, gulped down a glass of cold water, and then explained the whole story.

"Hehe, he's got some nerve. He's been gone for years, completely ignoring his daughter. If he were doing badly, that would be one thing, but the problem is he not only married a beautiful wife but also made a fortune. Tsk tsk! Yunxia, ​​leave the household registration to me. He won't be able to cause any trouble on this."

"I'm relieved to hear that. Oh, right, there's one more thing. Why did you choose this time to come back? My sixth sense tells me there's definitely something fishy going on. Please investigate."

"Okay, but... don't you have any feelings for him at all? He's still your own father!"

"On the day I left the Wang family, Douyacai had a high fever and was on the verge of fainting. She still missed her father who was far away in Nancheng. But... time is the best healer. Now, I have no feelings for him and I don't even want him to disturb my life. Call me unfilial or cold-blooded if you want, I'm just following my heart."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun was stunned for a few seconds, and then... burst into laughter.

"Haha, as expected of you, you've thought things through perfectly. Go back and wait for news. You'll definitely get a reply within three days."

He acted much faster than expected, and two days later, in the afternoon, he knocked on the Jiang family's gate.

The girl opened the courtyard gate only after confirming who it was, a measure taken to prevent Yun Jianfeng and his group from entering. Yun Xia did not want to do this, but she could not persuade Jiang Chao otherwise.

"The household registration matter has been settled. The higher authorities have issued a document stating that the household registration can only be transferred if the person concerned is present and agrees."

"Wow, that's incredibly efficient, Gu Xun. How did you manage that?"

She flicked a stray hair from her forehead and said arrogantly, "Who am I? This little thing can be solved with a little thought. Sigh, the chaos in household registration transfers has been going on for a long time. It just so happened that the higher-ups wanted to crack down on this, so I spent money to hire people to write thousands of complaint letters and suggestion letters. See... it's done!"

This action relieved her worries, and the girl jumped for joy, giving him a big hug.

The softness in his arms made Gu Xun slightly stunned. It wasn't until the girl called him several times that he came back to his senses. Remembering the important matter, he said seriously, "I've also found out why I chose this time to come back and recognize my family. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you, so... I want to take you there to see it for myself."

The sudden change in attitude made Yunxia realize the seriousness of the matter. "Okay, let me pack up and leave a letter for Aunt Wu and the others before I go with you!"

A moment later, a cool-looking motorcycle sped away from the alley and finally stopped in front of Anhe Hospital.

"Gu Xun, why did you bring me here?"

"Come with me, and you'll find out!"

After saying that, he took the girl's hand and strode forward to the door of a ward in the Department of Cardiology. The two of them pressed against the door and eavesdropped on the conversation inside.

"Mom, how much longer do I have to live? Please give me a definite answer." The voice was weak, tinged with sobs.

"Pah! Spit out those unlucky words! The Yun family has plenty of money. We'll use all the best machines and the most expensive medicines you can get. The doctor said that as long as the tissue matching is successful and the routine tests meet the requirements, you can have the surgery right away."
