Chapter 63 What can’t it be?
Lu Yanping had a good idea. If she asked her aunt's cousin Zhu Yujiao for help, the matter should be resolved.
Zhu Yujiao was engaged to the son of the Zhang family, and it was said that they were very close. Cousin Zhu Yujiao often showed off to her relatives, intentionally or unintentionally, what Zhang Zijun had bought for her and how well he treated her.
She had seen Zhang Zijun and Zhu Yujiao together. Although Zhang Zijun looked indifferent to Zhu Yujiao, he would do anything Zhu Yujiao asked him to do. He would also spend money on Zhu Yujiao without blinking an eye.
So as long as Zhu Yujiao asked Zhang Zijun for help, there should be no problem. But she didn't expect Zhu Yujiao to react so strongly and even said that she was laughing at her.
She is already in a state of panic and has no time to laugh at other people's jokes.
"Jiaojiao, why would I laugh at you? You're fine, why would I laugh at you?" Lu Yanping asked Zhu Yujiao in confusion.
It would have been better if she hadn't said that. As soon as she did, Zhu Yujiao started to cry. Her aunt Lu Hongyun quickly soothed her, "Alright, alright, Zijun is probably just being angry. Your marriage was arranged by his grandfather, how can you just cancel it?"
Lu Yanping only then learned that Zhang Zijun was breaking off his engagement with Zhu Yujiao. She felt somewhat bewildered, yet also resented Zhu Yujiao's inability to win over men. Who was Zhang Zijun? It was said that the Zhang family had considerable influence in Kyoto.
She even lost such a good marriage. I really don’t know what to say about her.
Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to show it at all. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry, I really don't know. Why?"
"It's just a quarrel between children, it's no big deal." Lu Hongyun patted Zhu Yujiao on the back and told her to go inside to rest. Then he took Lu Yanping to the bedroom to talk.
"Yan Ping, it's not that Auntie won't help you," Lu Hongyun sighed, "You don't know Zijun's father's personality. Not to mention that Jiaojiao and Zijun have some conflicts now, he wouldn't help even if there were no conflicts. He's a very principled person and doesn't seek personal connections. Haven't you seen that Zijun still doesn't have a job?"
"Zhang Zijun doesn't have a job. Isn't it because he doesn't want to work?" This is what Lu Yanping has always believed. How could the son of the Zhang family, who is so powerful in Kyoto, not be able to find a job? He definitely doesn't want to work.
Lu Hongyun sighed again, "It's not that he doesn't want to work, it's that he refuses to do the job that the Zhang family wants him to do. Zijun's father is a principled person and won't let him do the job he wants through the backdoor."
So that's how it is.
Lu Yanping couldn't help but sigh, what a difference in fate for such people. She couldn't find a job, while others were still picky about their jobs. Even without a job, they lived a carefree life, driving around every day.
"Oh, I think I heard someone say Zhang Zijun has some connection to the shop next door to my house. Could it be..." Lu Yanping heard these rumors from Wang Mingyuan. She didn't think much of it at the time, but now that Zhang Zijun wanted to break off the engagement, she had some suspicions. The two sisters from the shop next door were really good-looking.
"What could it be?" Lu Hongyun asked anxiously.
Although she told Lu Yanping that Zhang Zijun and Zhu Yujiao's breakup of the engagement was just a temper tantrum and it was no big deal, she knew Zhang Zijun's temper well. He was a man who did things as he pleased, and in the entire Zhang family, he only listened to Old Master Zhang.
But Mr. Zhang passed away last year, and now no one in the Zhang family can control him. So, as long as he really wants to cancel the engagement, it can be canceled.
Zhang Zijun proposed to cancel the engagement because Yujiao was angry with him because he forgot the date, so he casually said so. Later, even after Yujiao apologized to him again, he still insisted on canceling the engagement.
But was it really because of this? Yu Jiao had a rather spoiled temper. She had gotten mad at him before over trivial matters, but she had never mentioned breaking off the engagement. Why did she bring it up this time?
"There are two girls in the shop next to mine, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they are really pretty. Zhang Zijun often goes to that shop, maybe he has taken a fancy to one of them?" Lu Yanping naturally likes to cause more trouble for Gu Jianguo and the others. She knows that Zhu Yujiao has an extremely spoiled temper.
After hearing her words, Lu Hongyun pursed her lips and was silent for a while before saying, "I know about this. Yanping, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to help you, it's that I really can't help you."
All Lu Yanping could say was that she would think of another solution and then leave.
The next day, Gu Jianguo and his colleagues continued to open their shop, but Lu Yanping and her husband were investigated by the police and customs officials and had to close their shop.
Last night, Lu Yanping and Tang Shaohui took gifts to see Zhu Qingjun and the customs chief. They refused to accept the gifts and only said that the government would not wrongly accuse any good person.
What a joke! Not to mention that the gift Lu Yanping and the others gave wasn't valuable enough, they wouldn't have accepted it even if it was. They've already contacted the Shenzhen branch of customs and are gearing up for a major event.
If they can bust the smuggling gang this time, it will be a great political achievement for them. With this achievement, they may be able to move up a level next year.
Gu Erhui watched Lu Yanping and Tang Shaohui being taken away and breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Yimin smiled and said, "Going astray is never a long-term solution."
The matter was resolved, and Gu Jianguo and Tian Huiying set off to go home.
Gu Siqing and her friends had their winter break yesterday. Knowing that Gu Jianguo was going to take them to Lizhou, they were packing their things in the house.
"Xiao Si, do you think the house Dad bought is big enough?" Gu Sanjing said to Gu Siqing while folding her clothes, "Should we still sleep in one bed or separate beds?"
Gu Siqing sighed, "I don't know."
Why did Dad buy a house in Lizhou? Why didn't he save up some money and buy one in Kyoto first? A few decades later, courtyard houses in Kyoto would be astronomical in price.
I feel like I have lost tens of billions, I am so upset!
No, I have to hurry up and convince my dad to buy a courtyard house in Kyoto, so that he won’t spend the money on other things after he saves enough.
Gu Siqing was packing her things to encourage herself when she heard Gu Sanjing say, "Will we have to go to school in Lizhou by then? If I don't study well, will I be sent to the provincial capital?"
Gu Siqing: ""
Your train of thought is quite unique.
"Alas!" Gu Sanjing sighed again, "Xiao Si, are you really going to skip a grade? What should I do then? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? By then, everyone in the provincial capital will know that I'm not as smart as my sister."
Gu Siqing: ""
No matter how bad you are at studying, it is impossible for the people in the provincial capital to know that you are a jerk.
"Xiao Si, why don't you not skip a grade?" Gu Sanjing looked at her with her big eyes wide open, like a wronged puppy, which made people feel sorry for her.
