Volume 1 Chapter 760 Returning to the Compound for a Visit
"I admit that he is a capable man, but he...is not suitable for me."
"He and I are so similar in some ways."
Wei Lili lowered her head. She knew better than anyone whether the two of them were suitable for each other, and she knew Liu Xing's abilities better than anyone else.
She knew that Liu Xing's abilities would shine sooner or later, but what she needed was someone who knew his own feelings, not someone who was the same as herself.
"Yes, but the way he handled it hurt you."
"So he is sorry for me, he doesn't deserve me!"
Gu Shumin saw clearly that Liu Xing's abilities were obvious to everyone, but what Liu Xing needed was a caring and family-oriented wife, not a wife who was only concerned with her career like him.
We get along well in school, but once we leave school, there are so many helplessness and constraints that people have to give up some things.
"Forget it, let's eat."
Gu Shumin picked up a big chicken leg and gave it to Wei Lili. Wei Lili looked at her two friends with a smile. Having friends was enough for her.
Life...there are always some regrets.
Wei Lili took a bite of the chicken leg, took a deep breath, and then smiled and finished the meal with them. Sheng Wanyan had said everything she needed to say to Gu Shumin, and the rest depended on what she thought.
"Let's go."
After dinner, the three of them went their separate ways back to their dormitories. Sheng Wanyan took advantage of the fact that it was only 7 o'clock and drove back to the military compound.
Before going back, he took out all the gifts from the space and called Gu's mother to tell her that he was going back. After hearing this, Gu's mother was more excited than anyone else and prepared a lot of food with Sister-in-law Gu.
The car drove into the military compound. Gu's father and mother stretched their necks out at the door waiting. When they heard the sound of a car coming from outside, Gu's mother hurried out.
"Yan'er!"
"Dad, Mom."
Sheng Wanyan got out of the car. Mother Gu excitedly pulled her hand and looked left and right, muttering, "You've lost weight."
Sheng Wanyan laughed instantly when she heard what the elder Gu's mother always said, and Gu's wife also hurried out.
"Third sister-in-law."
"Big brother and big sister."
Brother Gu nodded to her, and Sister Gu pulled her inside. Sheng Wanyan pointed to the back of the car and said, "There are gifts."
"Tell your father and eldest brother to come in. It's cold outside."
Gu's mother asked the two men to do the hard labor, and she and Mrs. Gu each held one of her hands and walked inside. Sheng Wanyan smiled and gave the car keys to Brother Gu, and she pulled the two eldest children in.
As soon as they entered, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu came out of the room. Even Gu Jinfang and Gu Jinyu had not slept yet and went downstairs in their pajamas.
"Grandpa and grandma."
"Hey! I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back."
Grandma Gu quickly took her hand and sat down, holding her hand and looking left and right. Grandpa Gu didn't say anything, but one look at the old man's appearance showed that he was very happy.
"How are Yi Yi and Jing Jing doing abroad? Are you used to it?"
"The third child took Lai Lai Maomao abroad. Are the two children used to it?"
Mother Gu pulled her aside and kept asking about the children. Even Brother Gu and his wife pricked up their ears when they heard Gu Jingjing's name.
"Everything is fine. I'm learning dance and I've also signed up for math classes."
"Jingjing's treatment went smoothly. Now she can chat with us and communicate with her classmates in the studio."
"It's all good. Now I'm taking English classes and horse riding lessons."
Sheng Wanyan told the elders about the children's situation. When the four elders heard that the children were studying hard, they were extremely happy.
"That's good. That's good."
"Thank you for your hard work. You have to take care of two children alone in a foreign country."
Mother Gu patted her hands, and Sheng Wanyan smiled and shook her head. She only saw the children at night, and the rest of the time the four children were busier than her.
"It's not hard. The children are in class and I don't have to worry too much."
No one believed Sheng Wanyan's words. After all, it would be a lie to say that it wasn't hard for her to raise so many children alone in a foreign country.
Just taking care of the food and daily life of several children is a very time-consuming task, and Gu's mother is not so ungrateful.
"Have you eaten? I'll make you some noodles."
When Gu's mother thought about important matters, Sheng Wanyan quickly pulled Gu's mother's hand and asked her not to cook because she couldn't eat.
"Mom, I just ran into my college roommate and we ate together."
"Oh! You have a college roommate working in Kyoto? That would be great."
Mother Gu hopes that the younger generation can make more friends. Young people should live their own lives, and having one more friend is a good thing.
"Yes, one of them happened to be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and we met right after the meeting."
"I have a roommate who works in the government translation department. We had a meal together."
"It's a good thing. Making more friends is a good thing."
Several elders listened to her sharing patiently and did not blame her for not going home for dinner. Instead, they understood her behavior and did not ask too many questions.
Sheng Wanyan thought of the gifts she brought back. These were all bought in Country M and had been kept in her space. Now she could take them out and give them to her family.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom, and dad, this is what I brought back from Country M."
Sheng Wanyan opened the gifts. The ones given to Grandpa Gu, Father Gu, and Elder Brother Gu were all watches, while the ones given to the three female members of the family were jewelry and skin care products.
The one given to Grandma Gu was a pearl necklace, the one given to Mother Gu was also a pearl necklace, and the one given to Sister-in-law Gu was a pearl bracelet.
The three women were so happy when they got the jewelry and skin care products. Even Yang Dongxia bought some: a pair of pearl earrings and a set of skin care products.
Yang Dongxia has no grudge against her, and she will not involve Yang Dongxia in the feud with Wang Chunmei. She will buy whatever she should buy.
But she is also a protective person...naturally, the gift was not as valuable as the one given to Mrs. Gu.
She really likes and respects her sister-in-law, Gu Dasao. It's really that Gu Dasao is too generous and doesn't mind her younger brothers and sisters causing trouble for her sometimes.
"Third sister-in-law, this is too expensive."
Mrs. Gu felt embarrassed when she saw Sheng Wanyan brought her such an expensive gift. She had never done anything to her third brother and his wife.
Instead, it was her third brother's wife who helped her take care of Gu Jingjing and lent money to her family. She should be grateful to Sheng Wanyan.
"Sister-in-law, this is not expensive at all. I also bought a bracelet like this. It will be very impressive to carry it with me when the time comes."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was instantly delighted. When they took the two sisters-in-law out, who knows how envious people in the compound would be.
"Ting Xiao and I are not at home, so I have to thank my sister-in-law for taking care of my grandparents and my parents."
“It should be.”
Mrs. Gu accepted it without any hesitation. She never had to be too polite with her third brother's wife. After all, the two of them got along well and could understand each other. They had been getting along like sisters for so many years.
"Then I would like to thank my third brother and sister-in-law."
Sheng Wanyan smiled and put it on Mrs. Gu's hand. Mrs. Gu had fair skin and good temperament, and the pearl bracelet made her look even more classy.
