Chapter 62 Taking Over
When Hu Meili started to make a scene, several of her aunts were moved by the scene and while they were trying to persuade her, they started crying too.
Nowadays, almost every family has children living in the countryside. Which parent would not feel distressed when talking about their children?
Hu Taohua didn't dare to offend her elders, so she could only go to Lin Xiangnan and ask, "What happened to your brother in the countryside?"
"I don't know. He didn't say that in the letter. He just said he was busy and couldn't take leave, so he wouldn't come back." Lin Xiangnan said with a headache: "If he had explained the matter clearly, Mom wouldn't be so angry."
"Maybe he doesn't dare to say it. Auntie will be angry if she says it." Hu Taohua guessed, "He is definitely dating in the countryside."
Lin Xiangnan didn't have any deep feelings for this elder brother whom he had never met, so he said indifferently: "Every time my mother wrote to him, she told him to control himself. If he really can't come back, there's nothing we can do. And even if he can't come back to the city now, he should have a chance in a few years."
It's just a matter of enduring a few more years of hardship and waiting for the college entrance examination.
"What if your brother doesn't come back to the city this year? What will you do with your job?" Walnut Flower asked, "Are you not going to join the army?"
"We'll see when the time comes. A good and decent job is easy to handle."
Lin Xiangnan has no shortage of money or supplies.
She wanted to find a job before in order to stay in the city and to have a source of income so that she could have an excuse to live a high-quality life.
Now that she has a high-paid partner like Gu Zhenhua, work is no longer a necessity for her.
To her relatives and friends, Lin Xiangnan could say that it was Gu Zhenhua who gave her the salary, so she spent money lavishly.
To Gu Zhenhua and his friends, Lin Xiangnan can be said to be a supportive family member who has been subsidizing her.
If she can't hide it from Gu Zhenhua, she can also use the excuse that she was lucky enough to make money before to continue fooling people.
Anyway, Lin Xiangnan's ancestors for three generations were either poor peasants or workers, so they all passed the political review for marriage.
As long as it seems acceptable on the surface, no one will delve into it.
Hu Taohua's feelings for Lin Xiangdong were not too deep. Seeing that Lin Xiangnan didn't care, she didn't ask any more questions and said, "Gu Zhenhua will be back in a while. Please ask him about Ma Pingchuan's character. They used to be comrades-in-arms."
"This police officer is pretty good. He does his job conscientiously and listens to advice. But we have only had a short time with him, so we should ask Gu Zhenhua."
The previous murder case in the alley was solved by Ma Pingchuan, and Lin Xiangnan had a good impression of him.
Seeing Hu Taohua asking this, Lin Xiangnan asked curiously: "Why? Is he interested in you?"
"He doesn't have that intention yet." Walnut Flower touched her nose and said a little embarrassedly, "But I have some feelings for him."
"It's only been a few days. I remember you were the man with the golden ring heirloom a few days ago. How come you jumped to Ma Pingchuan so quickly?"
"Don't mention it, it's unlucky." Hu Meili said angrily, "The person I secretly dated for two years, you should have seen him."
“I have some impression.”
Originally, she didn’t have a deep impression of him, but the scene in the hotel that day was so awkward that Lin Xiangnan remembered the ex-boyfriend’s face.
"He separated from me the year before last and married another woman. His father-in-law helped him and arranged a formal job for him. This year, his father-in-law died of illness, and he divorced his wife."
Hu Taohua said speechlessly, "He told me not to look for another man first. He would get a divorce soon. After the divorce, he could marry me. I scolded him to death at that time."
"Good scolding!" Lin Xiangnan said in a sympathetic tone, "You can't treat this kind of scumbag well."
"But even after I scolded him, he still kept pestering me. Then Ma Pingchuan saw me, beat him up, and sent me to the street corner."
Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but let out a "tsk". No wonder the hero saving the beauty drama has been so popular for so long, it turns out that young girls all fall for it, even Hu Taohua is no exception.
Hu Taohua said: "I have asked around. Ma Pingchuan has never been married. But I don't know why he doesn't have a partner now. Please ask Gu Zhenhua for me later."
She was also familiar with Gu Zhenhua, but she still felt a little embarrassed to ask in person.
"Okay, I've taken this matter to heart. I'll ask for you when Gu Zhenhua comes back."
Gu Zhenhua had previously written to Lin Xiangnan saying that he was coming back, so he came back earlier than Lin Xiangdong.
This time when he came back, he didn't go to the Gu family, but went straight to the Hu family.
As soon as he appeared, the low pressure in the house eased. Hu Meili also had a smile on her face and she enthusiastically entertained her future son-in-law.
"You must be tired after such a long car ride. Let's move your things to the guest room and take a rest. Xiaonan's get off work will end a little later."
There are four rooms in the house. When Lin Xiangdong is not at home, his room is used as a living room, dining room and guest room.
Gu Zhenhua put down his luggage and said, "It's okay, I'll go pick up Xiaonan from get off work."
"Okay, okay, go ahead." Seeing her future son-in-law being so considerate, Hu Meili was even more satisfied.
In September, when school started, Lin Xiangxi went to study. Without his little follower, Lin Xiangnan could no longer slack off. After the meeting, Lin Xiangnan went out listlessly, ready to ride his bike home.
But as soon as she went out, she saw Gu Zhenhua standing outside with his shoulders straight. When he saw her, a smile appeared on Gu Zhenhua's expressionless face.
"I'll pick you up from get off work."
Gu Zhenhua's expression was restrained, but Lin Xiangnan laughed wildly and trotted towards him excitedly, "When did you come back today? I just came out and saw you at first sight. You looked so handsome standing there..."
She admitted that she was a big pervert. She chose Gu Zhenhua because he was good-looking.
But judging a person by not looking at his face, can one really see through his soul? She is not the mindless Hei Wuchang of the underworld.
"I just got back. Don't get too close. If you have anything to whisper, wait until there's no one around." Gu Zhenhua straightened Lin Xiangnan's body and reminded him, "Your colleagues are watching inside."
When Lin Xiangnan turned around, he saw Zhang Dapang and Ye Feiyan, a few onlookers, with their eyes wide open, afraid of missing any details.
"Ignore them." Lin Xiangnan smiled and commanded: "You ride your bike to take me back."
"good."
Gu Zhenhua rode on the front seat of the bicycle and said to Lin Xiangnan, "I ride fast, remember to hold my waist, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall you off."
"Aren't you afraid of being seen this time?" Lin Xiangnan muttered proudly.
"You can do it secretly."
Lin Xiangnan covered his mouth and laughed, it seemed even more exciting to say this.
It was clearly a serious relationship, but it almost turned into an affair.
