Seeing that the troublemakers had all left, and there was nothing more to see, besides, who would dare watch the Gu family's drama? They all dispersed when Ruan Ruan and the others entered the house.
After entering the house, Teacher Shen sat on the sofa, silently shedding tears. Commander Gu also looked unwell. When he saw them come in, Commander Gu gestured to Teacher Shen with his eyes, hoping that Ruan Ruan could help him persuade her.
This is also his fault. When he asked Gu Jinghe to pass on a message to Gu Jingxi, he didn't tell Teacher Shen. He just thought that when the child came back, he could give her a New Year's surprise. He just didn't expect that his daughter was completely ruined!
Having received her uncle's message, Ruan Ruan obediently sat down next to Teacher Shen and handed her a piece of paper. "Auntie, it's the New Year, and as the lady of the house, crying too much is bad luck!"
There was nothing she could do. She didn't really want to say it, since there was a crackdown on feudal superstition these days, but there was nothing she could do. These elderly people all believed in this, and it was the best way to stop Teacher Shen from crying.
Sure enough, upon hearing something unlucky, Teacher Shen immediately retorted, "Who said I cried? I didn't cry. That thing, you think it's something to make me cry? You're dreaming!"
Wiping away her tears, Teacher Shen was still the same decisive and efficient head of teaching.
Commander Gu hadn't expected that all his nice words wouldn't be as effective as Ruan Ruan's one sentence. If he had known this would happen, he would have spoken up even if it violated the rules. Besides, it was at home, and only the two of them were listening, so nothing would have happened.
"Yes, yes, she's such a heartless person. Mom, there's really no need to be sad for her. If you're sad, I'll be very sad too."
Gu Jingming walked over, took Teacher Shen's hand, and spoke gently. After speaking, he glanced at Huo Haocheng, as if asking, "Brother-in-law, did I do the right thing?"
With Huo Haocheng's affirmative nod, he felt much more confident.
Hearing her son's words, Teacher Shen also felt that he was right. She only had one daughter, and many people would love her dearly. There was no need for her to harm her health for that unfilial daughter.
“Gu Jingming, let me tell you, if you ever have a girlfriend in the future, just tell us directly. Don’t be like that unfilial daughter who acted first and then informed us, ruining someone’s reputation. If you dare to do anything to betray the Gu family, I will have your father kick you out of the house. Do you understand?”
So many years have passed, and Teacher Shen still can't figure out where things went wrong in their education of Gu Jingxi. From a young age, no one in the family favored boys over girls. Gu Jinghe had everything she had, and she had everything Gu Jingxi had. In fact, many times, because she was a girl, she received more than Gu Jinghe. How could such a pampered child fall for someone like Xiao Li? It's incomprehensible!
"Mom, don't worry. When I start dating, I'll definitely introduce myself to my sister first. Only after she approves will I confess my feelings."
As for why he showed it to Ruan Ruan first, it's because in Gu Jingming's eyes, his sister is omnipotent. If his sister says it's good, then everyone else in the family will say it's good. If he showed it to them first and they thought it was good, but his sister didn't think it was good, then it definitely wouldn't be good after that.
After listening to her son's words, Teacher Shen looked at her niece who was worried about her, and then at Huo Haocheng sitting next to Commander Gu. She thought it was fine; with the two of them keeping an eye on things, they couldn't let him down.
"Okay, it's settled then. Your sister will go and find some girls. If she doesn't like any of them, you can stay single!"
In a single sentence, the details of Gu Jingming's marriage partner were determined.
After their meddling, Ms. Shen's attention was diverted, and she wasn't so sad anymore.
After having dinner at the Gu family's house, the couple thought about it. Teacher Shen had been comforted, but Commander Gu, the old father, had not. It wasn't that they didn't want to comfort him, but Commander Gu usually gave off a very calm vibe. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to see his emotions. He only occasionally revealed a little bit in front of Ruan Ruan and the others.
"Uncle, do you still remember the promise we made before the New Year?"
After dinner, Ruan Ruan played chess with Commander Gu and suddenly asked this question.
"Yes, don't worry, I've got it. What, you've got a result?" Commander Gu was holding a chess piece, thinking about where to place it, when he heard his niece say this.
"Of course, when have I ever been slow in handling matters? My investigation revealed that everyone accepted gifts during the Spring Festival. Do you know why Uncle Guo knew that the deputy mayor accepted gifts but couldn't find any evidence?"
As she spoke, Ruan Ruan revealed a cold smile; they would never have expected this.
"Oh...so it seems you've found his secret?"
This was the first time he had ever seen such a smile on his niece's face. He figured that what she was hiding was something no one could have imagined.
"Hehe, Uncle, when you ask Uncle Guo to arrest him, have someone bring a hammer and smash down the wall between his living room and bedroom. That way you'll know."
She made it so obvious, how could Commander Gu not understand? He just hadn't expected that he would hide those things in his house. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears today, he wouldn't have thought that the person would put things in the wall. When anyone hides something, their first reaction is to dig a hole in the ground or hide it under the bed. He had never seen anything like this where someone hid it directly in an entire wall.
Or, he could go with Lao Guo to take a look.
Thinking this, Commander Gu lost interest in playing chess. After giving his seat to Huo Haocheng, he got up and walked towards his office to call Lao Guo.
Having achieved their goal, the two told Teacher Shen that they had declined her offer to stay for dinner and went home.
