Chapter 248 People Can Change
Gu Jinghong was not afraid of others watching, but he did not want to affect Su Ying's reputation, so he let her go and the two continued to move forward.
Zhang Su and Du Feng were talking about something, but they didn't seem happy.
When Su Ying and Gu Jinghong came to them, the two stopped arguing immediately, but they both had cross-eyed looks and looked at each other with dislike.
Su Ying looked at Gu Jinghong blankly, and Gu Jinghong also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
But he didn't ask. Gu Jinghong didn't seem to care much about other people's affairs. He felt that Du Feng and the others were not a big deal and they could just solve it themselves. If they couldn't solve it with words, then they could just fight and everything would be fine after the fight.
After washing up and going to bed at night, Su Ying massaged Gu Jinghong's legs while saying.
"I promised your eldest brother to go home for dinner without your permission. Are you angry?"
Gu Jinghong lay on his back, feeling the neither light nor heavy force on his legs. This feeling made him feel comfortable and grounded. He could sense his legs, which made him feel that he could still control them.
"Don't be angry. Although I don't have much contact with the Gu family now, I am a member of the Gu family. I can't change that, and neither can they. Besides, grandma has always loved me since I was a child. In fact, my family planned my future as a government official, but I didn't like that kind of unpredictable life, so I joined the army."
Su Ying was a little surprised. She had never heard Gu Jinghong talk about this before.
Gu Jinghong reached out and pulled Su Ying to his side.
"That's enough for today. Go to bed early."
Su Ying lay down beside him, facing him.
"So you joined the army, and your family..."
Gu Jinghong chuckled and touched Su Ying's hair.
"They didn't agree. They thought a career in government would bring more glory to the Gu family. Besides, joining the army would take a long time and there was no guarantee I would achieve anything in the future. Later, it was my grandmother who helped me and sent me to the barracks."
Having said that, he paused.
"That's probably why they don't like me and are dissatisfied with me."
He seemed a little uncertain. After thinking for a while, he shook his head.
“Maybe it’s not entirely because of this.”
Gu Jinghong didn't know why. Maybe his family thought he had no future, or maybe he was too obedient when he was a child?
Gu Jinghong's personality when he was a child was actually completely different from what it is now. He was very thin and white, with a soft temper and was too obedient. So much so that Xue Qiaolan always said that his personality was not like that of our Gu family members.
Later, Gu Jinghong changed. As he grew older, he grew taller and stronger, and his character became resolute and strong. In the past, the children in the compound often fought, and he would step forward to stop them. Those rebellious troublemakers were eventually defeated by him.
However, Gu Jinghong would never tell Su Ying about such an embarrassing thing.
Before Su Ying returned to Jiangcheng, she and Gu Jinghong stepped into the Gu family's door for the first time.
She was mentally prepared before coming, knowing that there might be many people from the Gu family this time, but she didn't expect that all the Gu family members would come.
Including Gu Jinghong and his two aunts, they also came to the Gu family with their husbands and children.
Grandma Gu was wearing an old but clean military uniform without epaulettes today. She had been waiting at the door since early morning.
Xue Qiaolan and the others were worried about her health and persuaded her to go back to the house and wait, but she immediately glared at them and turned around to give orders to Xue Qiaolan and the others.
