Chapter 210 Don't even think about taking a penny away (asking for monthly tickets~)
Du Shuang calmed his expression and went forward.
"You're back. Have you eaten yet?"
Gu Hongying couldn’t believe it. Did her mother hear it or not? Why would her mother be so kind?
She quietly took a few steps, walked behind Du Shuang, and winked at Gu Bohuai behind her back.
Gu Bohuai smiled and nodded. Since he had agreed, he would not change his mind.
Gu Hongying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Dad, Mom, I'll go upstairs then."
It was not a good place to stay for long. If her mother came to her senses, she didn't want to hear those clichés.
Du Shuang's mind was full of Song Jinshu and Gu Qingye, and she indeed did not hear what the father and daughter said.
She didn't know whether Gu Bohuai had noticed Gu Qingye's existence. She didn't dare to ask, not even to hint at it.
It was indeed Mr. Du who had a keen eye for talent and promoted Gu Bohuai to his team. However, it has been almost twenty years since the old man passed away, and Gu Bohuai has still made it to where he is today, and is even more promising than his own son Du Guanghan. This shows his ability and character.
After being married for so many years, Du Shuang didn't dare to say that she knew exactly what he was thinking.
But now she has a sense of urgency. Gu Qingye wants to investigate, and she cannot give up the benefits that Gu Yuanzheng deserves.
"Old Gu, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's up?"
Gu Bohuai changed into slippers and went into the house. Just as he was about to pour some water, Du Shuang had already brought him a cup of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea that was just right for him to drink.
"It's like this. I ran into Zhou Aihua from the Zongzheng Cultural Troupe a few days ago, and we happened to talk about children. I thought Yuanzheng is about the same age, so why don't we have a meal together so that the two children can meet each other?"
Gu Bohuai put down his teacup: "Zhou Aihua? The lover of General Manager and Deputy Director Qi Hewei?"
"Yes, Zhou Aihua and I have known each other for many years. I also watched her little daughter grow up under my care. She is one year older than Yuanzheng, so I can take care of him and control his temper."
Gu Bohuai looked at Du Shuang, and after just a few seconds she felt uneasy.
Du Shuang quickly reviewed what she had said and found nothing wrong, so she continued, "What's wrong? The Gu family and the Qi family are a good match, isn't it good to get married?"
Gu Bohuai did not respond.
He had just been promoted to the second-in-command of the General Staff and he immediately arranged to marry the director and deputy director of the General Staff?
Others would not think that this was a friendship between two families, they would only say that Gu Bohuai had started to form cliques before he even sat firmly on the seat.
He knew his son's character very well. Gu Bohuai was not afraid of self-deprecation. He had been busy with work and had not educated his son well.
A grown man is not even one tenth as ambitious as Hongying.
If his last name was not Gu and he was not the grandson of the Du family, Gu Yuanzheng would be no different from an idle vagrant on the street, and achieving nothing would be his best fate.
Gu Bohuai had never seen the daughter of the Qi family, but given Du Shuang's picky nature, she would not even mention anyone who wasn't the best.
She is willing to marry, but is the other party willing to marry her? If the marriage is a mess, it will not only fail to achieve marriage but also create enemies.
"The Gu family does not need to exchange their children's marriage for benefits, nor does it need the so-called equal status. The Qi family is not a good match."
Gu Bohuai had considered his son's marriage, and his best choice was the daughter of an old subordinate.
He told Du Shuang about his considerations, but before he finished listening, her fingernails had already left several bloody marks on her palms.
She couldn't help but think elsewhere.
Does Gu Bohuai already know about Gu Qingye’s existence?
Is he afraid that the expedition will block his way, so he deliberately doesn't want a daughter-in-law who is of equal status?
If Yuanzheng's marriage is cancelled, then what will happen in the future? Will the entire Gu family be handed over to Gu Qingye?
Du Shuang tried her best to be patient, but the fire in her heart grew more and more intense.
She didn't want to hear any reasons. She believed that Yuanzheng must have a capable relative-in-law. Everything in the Gu family belonged to her son, and no one could take away a single cent!
Also, Gu Hongying's marriage cannot be neglected, and we have to find someone who can help, so that there will be more help in the future expedition.
Du Shuang kept trying to calm herself down. She had lived with Gu Bohuai for twenty years and knew that being stubborn would lead to no results.
But one thing she was very clear about was that Gu Bohuai respected the child's wishes.
He agreed to Gu Hongying's swordplay. If he and the daughter of the Qi family got together on the expedition, Gu Bohuai would surely not break them up.
After figuring out the whole thing, Du Shuang decided not to mention the matter anymore.
————————
Early February
It coincided with the first batch of freshmen reporting for the college entrance examination after its resumption, and the Huaqing campus had not been so lively for a long time.
Lu Youyou completed the registration process and went to the dormitory building carrying her simple luggage.
She has registered to attend school as a day student, but her bed is still reserved.
In her previous life, she had never attended university in China, nor had she lived in a dormitory. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still stunned for a few seconds after pushing open the door.
Five people have already arrived at the six-person dormitory, but that's not the point. In the small room, a woman in her thirties is holding a crying child and trying to comfort the child.
"Daya, stop crying, stop crying. Did I hurt you? It's Mommy's fault..."
The sunlight cast a long shadow from behind Lu Youyou, and the light dimmed. Everyone turned around in unison and saw Lu Youyou at the door, with the same expression.
There was no dusty look, no breathlessness from carrying luggage upstairs. Lu Youyou's radiant appearance was different from all the freshmen they had met along the way.
There was no trace of confusion, timidity or curiosity in her eyes, as if she was not stepping into a completely unknown world.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Youyou."
After Lu Youyou greeted him, her eyes fell on the only empty bed in the room.
The bumpy wooden boards and the rusty and paint-chipped bed frame looked like no one had lived there for more than a decade.
At this moment, the person on the upper bunk happened to move, and the creaking sound made people's teeth ache.
Lu Youyou sighed in her heart. She had never suffered any hardship in her previous life, and she didn’t want to suffer any hardship in this life.
She had originally thought of coming here to take a nap occasionally, but it seems the library is more suitable for her.
"Hello, Comrade Lu. We have already cleaned your bunk. You can just put your blanket on it."
The girl in the next bed stood up to say hello. She was half a head taller than her, and her Northeastern accent sounded very familiar.
"Thank you." Lu Youyou thanked with a smile.
Seeing someone break the ice first, the remaining few people also came over to say hello, except for the one on the upper bunk.
Lu Youyou knew what role this fashionable "young lady" played at a glance.
He is arrogant and looks down on others. His family either has some power or some money.
It seems that every big drama cannot be without such a person.
The woman in her thirties finally coaxed the child, took two steps forward and started to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Lu. I was packing my things just now and accidentally hit the child. Daya is usually very sensible and rarely cries. I'm really sorry!"
She took out a bag of dried fruits and handed it to Lu Youyou, with a look of panic on her face.
"My name is Liu Peirong, this is my daughter. From now on, she...she will live in the dormitory with me. I will definitely keep an eye on her and try not to let her disturb you. If it causes any inconvenience, I apologize to you first."
As she spoke, Liu Peirong bowed deeply.
It's the end of the month, please vote for me, thank you all!!! Kiss, hug, lift me up high, muah muah muah muah!!!
