Chapter 82 Tomorrow at noon, State-owned Hotel
Seeing how obedient she was, Gu Tinghuai felt that he shouldn't put so much pressure on her, so he said in a soft voice, "No, it was my brother who spoke too harshly, don't take it to heart, Nannan."
Gu Yuehuai was speechless and chuckled: "How could that be, I really think what big brother said is right."
Gu Tinghuai breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative just now, and asked in confusion: "Nannan, how did you know that salesperson? How did she know... her family's affairs?"
Gu Yuehuai paused, narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Her name is Yao Meili, and she almost married Lin Jinshu's stepson."
"Stepson?" Gu Tinghuai was slightly shocked, and it took him a long while to come back to his senses. He looked at Gu Yuehuai with a complicated look and said, "Nannan, you seem to know a lot about her family. Why didn't you tell us if you knew everything?"
"I just found out about it yesterday." Gu Yuehuai shrugged and told everything that happened yesterday. With Yao Meili around, everything she knew about Lin Jinshu in her previous life was covered up.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Yao Meili is so warm to you." Gu Tinghuai looked understood.
While the two were talking, they arrived at Qing'an County.
As soon as he entered Qing'an County, Gu Tinghuai became more and more nervous. His body became stiff and he even walked with his hands and feet trembling.
Gu Yuehuai shook his head, his tone helpless: "Brother, are you sure you want to go into the clinic like this?"
Gu Tinghuai cleared his throat, but his voice was still dry: "I... I don't want to either. This body is out of control. After all... after all, she is my biological mother."
Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay, it's okay, I'll hold you."
She forgot that Lin Jinshu was not only the mother she had let go of, but also the biological mother of her brothers.
As she spoke, she reached out and held Gu Tinghuai's hand, and the two of them entered the clinic one after the other. Before they reached the ward, they saw He Lanzhang and Cui Hejie standing at the payment counter.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted to He Lanzhang: "Comrade He!"
He Lanzhang turned around suddenly, and when he saw Gu Yuehuai, his eyes lit up. However, when he saw Gu Tinghuai holding her hand, the smile on his face froze, and the change was fleeting.
He trotted towards Gu Yuehuai, his voice still full of joy: "Comrade Gu!"
Gu Tinghuai looked He Lanzhang up and down. As a brother, he naturally had a critical eye towards any man who "coveted" his sister. However, after looking carefully, he really could not find any fault with He Lanzhang.
The man was tall and wore a military coat and black leather shoes. It was obvious that he came from a wealthy family. He also had a handsome face with regular features. Apart from looking a little frivolous, there was really nothing wrong with him.
However, when he thought of Ren Tianxiang, who also looked like a human being, Gu Tinghuai's expression turned cold again.
No matter who you are, as long as you are a man, you have to observe carefully and not trust someone easily based on their appearance.
He Lanzhang also noticed Gu Tinghuai's expression. The smile on his face faded a little, and he said awkwardly: "Comrade Gu, are you here to see your brother today? Who is this?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled: "My eldest brother."
Hearing that it was "Big Brother", He Lanzhang first breathed a sigh of relief, then a sincere smile gathered on his face again, and he stretched out his hand and said, "It turns out to be Big Brother Gu. I am Comrade Gu's friend. He Lanzhang, you can call me Lanzhang."
Gu Tinghuai frowned and looked at the hand extended to him, and took it reluctantly.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Gu Yuehuai said at the side: "Brother, it was Comrade He who helped me pay the tuition for my second brother at that time."
Hearing this, Gu Tinghuai was slightly surprised, but he did not show any flattering or excited expression. Instead, he bowed slightly towards He Lanzhang and said, "Comrade He, thank you. If it weren't for your help, my second son would have been..."
After thanking him, Gu Tinghuai said seriously: "Don't worry, our family will definitely return the money to you with interest."
If he was still unsure at the beginning, then when he knew that he was the one who lent a helping hand and lent money, he would be sure that He Lanzhang must have some feelings for his daughter, otherwise who would be willing to lend a friend more than a hundred yuan for surgery?
Although he was grateful, he was not going to lose his mind because of it. He couldn't tell He Lanzhang's character for the time being, so he had to wait and see.
"Gu...Brother Gu, you don't have to be so polite." He Lanzhang said with some embarrassment.
Just as Gu Yuehuai was about to take money out of his pocket, he saw Cui Hejie coming over from the payment counter. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face. He was more trustworthy than He Lanzhang.
However, Cui Hejie completely destroyed his righteousness as soon as he opened his mouth. He said in a teasing tone: "Old He, I was wondering why you volunteered to accompany me to the health center for a follow-up checkup. It turns out there is a reason."
He Lanzhang's ears turned red, and he waved his hands and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Gu Yuehuai glanced at Cui Hejie with a cold gaze, took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted out 140 yuan and handed it to He Lanzhang: "I agreed to pay you back as soon as possible."
He Lanzhang looked at the money handed over to him, not knowing whether to take it or not.
He didn't want to settle things so clearly with her at all, but after spending some time together, he knew that Gu Yuehuai was not the kind of girl who liked to take advantage of others. If he didn't accept it, they might not be able to continue being friends in the future.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said a little embarrassedly: "IOU, I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring the IOU. How about this, Comrade Gu, let's meet at the State-owned Hotel at noon tomorrow, and I'll bring the IOU to you."
Gu Yuehuai frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at He Lanzhang's expectant gaze, pondered for a moment, and agreed.
The IOU is indeed a troublesome matter. It has nothing to do with whether she believes He Lanzhang or not. The main thing is that she doesn't want others to have any handle on her. So let's do it tomorrow. She also has some things to make clear to him.
She was not a fool and could naturally see that He Lanzhang liked her, but his feelings were destined to be misplaced.
When he heard her agree, a hint of joy flashed across He Lanzhang's face.
Cui Hejie on the side narrowed his eyes. Tomorrow, state-owned hotel?
Gu Yuehuai said: "Then we will leave first."
He Lanzhang nodded, watched Gu Yuehuai and Gu Tinghuai walk away, and couldn't take his eyes off them for a long time.
Cui Hejie looked at him and suddenly laughed.
He Lanzhang turned to look at him and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"
Cui Hejie crossed his arms and looked at He Lanzhang with a half-smile: "I'm laughing at you for liking me but not daring to say it!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" He Lanzhang looked panicked and looked around. He was relieved when he saw that no one heard it. His innocent look made Cui Hejie laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
After laughing for a while, Cui Hejie slowly stopped laughing, raised his hand and patted He Lanzhang on the shoulder, and said hesitantly, "You like this girl, what about Zhu Rongrong?"
