At that time, I swore to treat my sister-in-law and my brother's children well, so as not to let my brother down when he held my hand and begged me before he left.
My sister-in-law is a nice person and takes good care of me. At first, I felt like she was my mother.
But gradually, I found that my feelings for her had changed. At that time, I worked hard to make money, hoping to give my sister-in-law a complete home.
There is no point in saying this now. Since she doesn't want to be with me, forget it." Wu Qingsong narrowed his eyes, his face full of drunkenness.
Seeing him like this, Gu Fuying ran over with some distress, snatched the bottle of wine from Wu Qingsong's hand, and said angrily: "Don't drink.
It's just a broken heart. I've been dating someone for several years, but he cheated on me and even asked his friends to defile me. What you did is nothing compared to what I did."
Perhaps it was because of their emotional empathy, Wu Qingsong looked at Gu Fuying in surprise: "Really?"
Gu Fuying nodded with red eyes.
Wu Qingsong stood up drunkenly, held Gu Fuying's shoulders and said, "You are more pitiful than me, that man is a real bastard.
You, you tell me who that is, and I will beat him up to make you feel better."
Gu Fuying wiped her tears and looked at Wu Qingsong who was standing there, swaying. She burst out laughing: "Just you, look at your current state, you were knocked down by just one punch."
Wu Qingsong slapped the table and said, "Impossible! I, Wu Qingsong, am the best."
Gu Fuying looked at him with a doting face: "Okay, okay, you are the best, then help me beat him up tomorrow."
Wu Qingsong nodded.
He turned his head to look at Huo Chen, picked up the water cup beside him, and stupidly poured a few pieces of vegetables into it: "Chen, Brother Chen, I toast to you.
Thanks to you for taking care of me all these years, otherwise I would not have paid off my debts so quickly, and my sister would not have had the opportunity to go to school.
I'll drink first as a sign of respect, you, you drink too."
"Uh, why, why can't I drink it!" Wu Qingsong was puzzled and opened his mouth: "It's delicious, this wine is delicious too, just like the one your wife made."
When Huo Chen heard the two wives, his eyes were filled with joy.
At that time, Xu Ying's face turned slightly red. She hadn't even married Huo Chen yet, and this guy started talking nonsense.
Gu Fuinch never left Wu Qingsong's side. No matter how stupid Xu Ying was, she knew what this girl was thinking.
But she frowned. The Gu family is an intellectual family, the children of high-ranking officials, while Wu Qingsong is an orphan. It might be risky for these two to be together.
It would not be impossible if Wu Qingsong was willing to marry into the family.
But he is the only bloodline left in his family, so he might not be willing to do so.
Xu Ying shook her head. Why think so much? Just take it one step at a time.
"Where is Wu Qingsong's home? He is half drunk now and can't go back. How about letting him sleep here?" Xu Ying asked.
Huo Chen immediately shook his head. He hadn't spent the night at Xu Ying's place yet, so Wu Qingsong couldn't even think about it.
"I'll take him to where we live. We rent a house in the county town. It's not far from where you are. It's on the back street."
Xu Ying's face was filled with shock. No wonder Huo Chen was in the county town every day. It turned out that he also rented a house here.
"Okay then, send him back first, don't let him catch a cold sleeping here."
Wu Qingsong had just finished shouting when he crawled in front of him and fell asleep.
Huo Chen was very strong and lifted Wu Qingsong up with just one hand.
After the two men left, Xu Ying walked up to Gu Fuying and stared at him closely.
“Look me in the eyes.”
"What are you doing?" Gu Fuying asked nervously.
"Do you like Wu Qingsong?" Xu Ying asked.
"Well, when did it happen?" Xu Ying was very curious.
Gu Fuying stammered, "Just, just last time, after Wu Qingsong saved me.
I think he is a nice guy, and he is also very righteous.”
Xu Ying sighed. As expected, all the girls would indulge in the idea of being a hero saving a beautiful girl.
Fortunately, Wu Qingsong really saved Gu Fuying and it was not a conspiracy.
Thinking of Wu Qingsong, she looked worried: "Wu Qingsong has someone he likes."
Gu Fuying nodded: "I know, but I am willing to wait for him.
Who knows, after a while, he might forget about Zhang Lancao.
Just like I forgot about him.”
Xu Ying didn't know what to say. Wu Qingsong was still an okay person, much better than the previous scumbag.
In terms of appearance and family, most of the man's families are poor, while Wu Qingsong at least has no father or mother and does not have so many burdens.
But she didn't want to let Gu Fuying suffer. She must feel bad seeing the man she loved sad for another woman.
She counseled, "Then give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can find someone else. Our Fuying is so outstanding that she can find a partner."
Her words immediately made Gu Fuying laugh: "How can I be that good!"
"Of course there is no one like her. She is good-looking, has a good family background, is well-educated, and does a good job with strong abilities." Xu Ying praised.
Gu Fuying's face flushed. She didn't expect that in Xu Ying's heart, she was so outstanding.
Xu Ying's eyes darkened. She actually felt that Wu Qingsong didn't necessarily like Zhang Lancao.
Most men who lost their mothers at a young age will look for older partners. This is not necessarily because they like the older women, but rather because of psychological needs.
For this kind of boy, he has never experienced maternal love in his life and is looking forward to the feeling of being taken care of, so he will like women who are mature and know how to take care of others.
And Zhang Lancao happens to be that caring elder.
Maybe it's not love, but the lost maternal love that makes Wu Qingsong have special feelings for her.
However, this was also Xu Ying's guess. She didn't dare say it out loud, for fear that Gu Fuying would hear this and fall in love with Wu Qingsong even more.
“Well, I definitely won’t invest too much emotion. I have a good impression of him right now, but I don’t have too much love for him.
If he still can't get over it, I will definitely quit." Gu Fuying said directly, fearing that she would worry.
Xu Ying nodded. It was great that she thought this way.
"You are right. The premise of loving others is to learn to love yourself first. Only when you know how to love yourself will others know how to cherish you."
Gu Fuying understood what Xu Ying said. Her mother had also told her the same thing.
"I see."
After Gu Fuying finished speaking, he looked at the many delicious foods on the table, smiled, and said embarrassedly: "Yingying, can I pack some to take back?
Actually, I was full, but I wanted to take some food back for my parents. Since you won’t be working in a state-owned restaurant anymore, it will be very difficult for me to eat the food you cook.
So I took it home and gave it to my parents.”
After Gu Fuying finished speaking, she clasped her fingers together unnaturally.
What she actually wanted to do was to take it back home and eat it when she was hungry.
