Chapter 494 He Didn’t Do Enough for Her
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows and called softly, "Brother."
Gu Tinghuai looked at the smile on his sister's face, and his tense expression relaxed. The words he wanted to scold turned into worries: "How are you? Are you not hurt? You ran to the front line without saying a word, aren't you afraid of scaring us to death?"
They didn't know the details at first, but after seeing the front-line war reported in the newspaper, what else could they not understand? This girl was only 19 years old, but she was surprisingly brave. She dared to rush into the hail of bullets alone, even though she had to travel through mountains and rivers.
Thinking of this, Gu Tinghuai looked at Yan Shaoyu with complicated eyes.
"Brother." Yan Shaoyu called out readily and adapted to the role of his brother-in-law.
When he met Gu Tinghuai's slightly reproachful eyes, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment. Indeed, if Shao Li had traveled thousands of miles to the front line for a man, he was afraid that it would be more than just a simple reproach.
Yan Shaoyu bowed slightly, lowered his head and said, "Brother, it's my fault."
Seeing his expression, Gu Tinghuai didn't know what to say. But before he could figure out what to say, he saw his "broken-armed" sister standing in front of Yan Shaoyu and taking on everything.
"How could it be your fault? What kind of apology are you making? Brother, it was me who wanted to find Shao Yu. It had nothing to do with him. If you want to blame someone, just blame me! Shao Yu knew nothing from the beginning to the end. He was also shocked when he saw me!"
Although Gu Yuehuai couldn't resist the tall and slender Yan Shaoyu, every word he said was full of favoritism and protection.
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the top of her head, a hint of helplessness and touching flashed in his ebony eyes.
This is the person he loves. No matter when or where, she always wants to protect him behind her. Even if she can't protect him, she will not give in at all. She doesn't even give him the chance to face the hard knife on the battlefield and the soft knife of his relatives when he returns home.
For a woman who cares so much about him, he just feels that he hasn't done enough for her.
Yan Shaoyu drooped his eyelids slightly, a warm and sour emotion constantly surging up in his body. It was very unfamiliar, but he did not reject it.
The corner of Gu Tinghuai's eye twitched. Looking at Gu Yuehuai, who protected Yan Shaoyu like the apple of his eye, he felt sad and emotional. He felt sad because his sister was guarding against him, and he felt emotional because his sister had finally grown up and had her own life.
He stepped forward, took Gu Yuehuai's arm and looked him up and down: "How is it? Are you injured?"
Ordinary people like them were tens of thousands of miles away from the front line, and what they saw and heard was just the tip of the iceberg, but who didn't know that the bodies there piled up like a small mountain every day? Was this a joke?
Gu Yuehuai waved his hands and said with a curved lip: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."
Seeing her heartless appearance, Gu Tinghuai frowned and put on a stern face, ready to teach her a lesson.
At this time, Xing Jian, who was organizing people to carry grain, ran over and muttered, "I say, can you go back and talk about your family affairs first? What's the most important thing now? Grain Street is already running out of grain. If you keep dawdling, our Grain Street's reputation will be ruined. Brother Gu, I'll go back to deliver the grain first. You talk to Sister Gu about the recent situation."
After saying that, Xing Jian led his people away, fearing that if they were any later the Grain Street would be overturned by people who came in a rage to buy grain.
As soon as everyone left, Gu Tinghuai said, "You've read the newspaper, too, right? Ever since the locust plague, the grain street has been in chaos. If it weren't for the purchase limit, I wouldn't have waited for you to come back. In recent days, the purchase limit has been getting less and less."
Gu Yuehuai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where's Song Jinan? Is there anything wrong with him?"
Song Jinan now has a cooperative relationship with Liangjie. If something really goes wrong with Liangjie, he can't escape. Of course, she is not concerned about this, but Tian Jing. This is one of the main reasons why she asked Gu Tinghuai to come.
She must always pay attention to Song Jinan's movements to prevent Tian Jing from sneaking into Feng City and using her grain street to make profits for herself. If that happened, she would definitely be vomiting to death, but if she thinks about it carefully, this possibility is very high.
Tian Jing is a person who has foresight. She knows the value of Song Jinan very well. For someone who is working hard to climb up, it is impossible to let go of such a "long-term meal ticket" easily. And based on her ability, Song Jinan should be the best and most suitable candidate she can get, so she will definitely not throw away this card of Song Jinan.
However, in this life, Tian Jing was harassed by Ren Tianxiang, and Song Jinan witnessed all her embarrassment with her own eyes. Could this official couple really be together without any grudges and become the fairy couple that everyone in the capital envied in their previous life?
Yan Shaoyu glanced at her sideways, noticed the indifferent expression on her face, and reached out to wrap his hand around her cold fingers.
Gu Tinghuai glanced at it and pretended not to see it. He naturally knew what Gu Yuehuai was asking, but he shook his head and said, "Song Jinan has been improving policies and actively carrying out local construction, so there are no problems."
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "The food delivered this time is enough to last for a long time. Shaoyu and I have to go home, and brother should come with us. We are going to hold a wedding this time, and your wedding with sister-in-law should have been held long ago."
When this was mentioned, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Gu Tinghuai thought that the two people in front of him had already filed a marriage registration and even taken wedding photos, so he couldn't say anything to blame. Putting himself in her shoes, if something happened to Bai Mei, he would definitely run thousands of miles to find her.
Thinking of this, Gu Tinghuai felt relieved and said to Yan Shaoyu, "Shaoyu, treat Nannan well in the future. She has really sacrificed a lot for you. She even gave up her job to be with you. This time, she even put her life aside. From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen her so persistent about anything. You can't let her down."
Yan Shaoyu nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, big brother."
He couldn't say anything nice, but he was a man who never spoke empty words, and he wouldn't agree if he couldn't do it.
Gu Tinghuai didn't ask him to promise anything, and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. Once the matter in Grain Street has settled down, we'll go home tomorrow. Dad and the others are worried about you, so you should think about how to explain it to them."
Gu Yuehuai blinked and said cunningly: "What explanation do you need? Just apologize and act coquettishly, and the matter will be over, right?"
After hearing this, Gu Tinghuai fell silent and turned away. Yan Shaoyu chuckled and stroked his cool and delicate fingers in his palm, saying in a strange tone, "Why didn't I know you could act like a spoiled child?"
In his impression, she has always been a very sharp girl, who would strike when necessary, and was resolute and ruthless. How could such a strong lady actually act like a spoiled child with others? Anyway, he had never seen it.
Gu Yuehuai raised the corners of his lips in a brisk arc: "There are many things you haven't seen, Comrade Yan, think about it carefully in the future."
After she finished speaking, she caught up with Gu Tinghuai and talked to him about Grain Street.
Yan Shaoyu looked at her slender back, suddenly lowered his head and laughed twice, his chest vibrating with extreme joy.
