Chapter 361 Let's have a talk?
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Gu Xiaoman and Yao Shula both seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiaoman said that if her mother asks again in the future, she will cover for her brother and say that he was injured in some way and that he is like this now, not born that way, so that there will still be room for maneuver in the future.
"What injury did you suffer?" Yao Shula carefully tugged at Gu Xiaoman's clothes.
"Heartbreak! The person he likes doesn't like him back, and falls for someone else. He doesn't even have a chance to say it out loud!"
"It's okay, my mom will believe me if I say that." Gu Xiaoman confidently took on the responsibility.
Gu Changqin...
He always felt that Gu Xiaoman was targeting him.
"Xiaoman, watch your words, or Mom will keep asking you questions later," Gu Changqin reminded Gu Xiaoman.
Gu Xiaoman chuckled, glanced at Gu Changqin, and then casually glanced at Yao Shula and Lei Jingwu.
"That's not something you care about. I just think you're a coward!"
Gu Changqin...
They remained silent, continuing to eat and drink...
Presumably because the previous topic was too sensitive, Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin spoke much less, only drinking and eating without saying a word.
Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman were also too embarrassed to speak.
I feel a bit embarrassed now that I asked such a sensitive question.
...
After feeling Lei Jingwu glance at him again, Gu Changqin finally got up.
"Alright, I'm done eating! I'm going back! Xiaoman, you didn't drink, so you drive!" Gu Changqin said, tossing the car keys to Gu Xiaoman.
Gu Xiaoman was about to say that she hadn't finished eating yet...
Then she saw Lei Jingwu glance at her!
"Oh, right! I have to go back too. There's a meeting at work tomorrow! The big boss will be there, so I can't be late!"
Shura, I'm going back now! I'll come see you again tomorrow after I'm done with my work!
After saying that, Gu Xiaoman picked up Gu Changqin's car keys and her own bag, and left in a hurry.
Yao Shula...
She hasn't even drunk the soup that was specially made for Gu Xiaoman on the table yet!
"Is it in such a hurry? Can't you have a bowl of soup before you leave?" Yao Shula quickly got up.
As Gu Xiaoman followed Gu Changqin outside, she waved to Yao Shula on her back.
After watching Gu Xiaoman and Gu Changqin leave, Yao Shula turned back to look at Lei Jingwu, who was still drinking alone.
Everyone else has left, why isn't Lei Jingwu leaving? He really has a huge appetite, he ate from the beginning to the end.
"Should I heat up your food again? It's getting cold, and the food cools down quickly!" Yao Shula asked softly, looking at the food on the table that had stopped steaming.
Lei Jingwu shook his head, then pointed to the opposite side.
"Shura, sit down! Let's talk! I have something to tell you!"
When Yao Shula saw Lei Jingwu's serious expression, her heart jumped.
Is something wrong? Is it Shuxin or Shuli? Neither! Shuxin just called during the day, and Shuli went home in the evening!
Could it be Xiao Tiantian...?
Yao Shula became even more nervous.
Lei Jingwu also poured the remaining wine from the bottle on the table into his own glass.
At this point, there's some truth to the saying that alcohol emboldens the timid!
...
Over there, Gu Xiaoman had already gotten into Gu Changqin's car, adjusted her seat, and was ready to drive off.
Gu Changqin didn't speak, but just pinched the area between his eyebrows.
After starting the car, Gu Xiaoman looked straight ahead and began to speak.
“Brother, you like Yao Shula!” Gu Xiaoman suddenly said.
Gu Changqin...
"Is it that obvious?" Gu Changqin looked at his sister, who was focused on driving and looking straight ahead, with surprise.
Gu Xiaoman chuckled twice.
"Brother, don't forget, I'm personally certified by Yao Shula as a love-obsessed person! I'm sensitive to anything related to relationships, okay!"
You really do like Yao Shula.
However, your affection for Shura doesn't compare to that for Keigo. To be precise, Keigo also likes Shura.
"Moreover, Brother Jingwu is genuinely and earnestly fond of her," Gu Xiaoman said with a smile.
Gu Changqing...
So Xiaoman figured it out too. She not only realized that she liked Yao Shula, but also that Lei Jingwu liked Yao Shula.
"You're quite smart! I thought you didn't know anything!" Gu Changqin smiled and replied.
Gu Xiaoman pursed her lips and snorted.
"I'm not stupid! Do you think I wouldn't notice that you and Brother Jingwu always run this way when you come back?"
"However, I'm curious why you gave up? That's not like you!" Gu Xiaoman said, somewhat puzzled.
Gu Changqin was stunned for a while before he spoke.
"Because I discovered that Lei Jingwu likes Yao Shula more than I do! Xiaoman, to be honest, I knew a long time ago that Lei Jingwu also liked Yao Shula."
I already knew that if I told others that I liked Yao Shula, I would face too many problems.
But I also know that Lei Jingwu likes Yao Shula, and he has a lot more things to deal with than I do.
Lei's eldest grandson, whose father is now in that position, means his wife will be seen by many people.
I even have a feeling that the woman Lei Jingwu marries in the future will definitely be arranged by his family, rather than someone he likes.
I wanted to see what Lei Jingwu could do!
But what Lei Jingwu did later told me that I was really not as good as Lei Jingwu.
Everything he did was meticulously planned, step by step pulling Yao Shula from Yun County to Shanghai.
Everything he did was for the sake of his and Yao Shula's future.
I... am not as good as him! I don't have the guts to guarantee that I can solve all the problems.
I don't want Yao Shula to have to face so many things in the future.
So, I should be happy to see Lei Jingwu marry Yao Shula; at least Lei Jingwu genuinely loves Yao Shula.
After hearing her brother's words, Gu Xiaoman suddenly felt a little sorry for him.
"Brother, even so, you didn't need to tell Mom that kind of thing! It's so scary!"
Aren't you afraid...?
"Don't you know what kind of temper my mom has? I'm saying this to put an end to her hopes and prevent her from trying to push people into my life all the time."
Can't you just let me have a few years of peace?
Furthermore, Yao Shula once said, "We only live once, why should we settle? Can't I find someone I like who also likes me?"
There must be someone like that, I just haven't found them yet.
Okay, drive carefully, I'm feeling a bit dizzy.
"Keep a good cover for Mom, don't let anything slip!" Gu Changqin said, then closed his eyes to rest.
Gu Xiaoman...
So even this guy who's had so many girlfriends has experienced heartbreak!
Hehe, I wonder if there will be any progress on Lei Jingwu's side today...
