Gu Jingxuan left the Pei family, firstly to give Pei Xiao enough time to think, and secondly because when he proposed to date Zi Han, he observed the conflicted and complicated expression of his future mother-in-law, Yu Meijuan.
He understood her feelings very well, because his family background did make Yu Meijuan worried. Every mother would not want to marry her daughter into such a family. Their family was rich and powerful, but the Pei family did not care about this. What the Gu family could do, they could do too.
For Yu Zihan, the lover she needed was someone who could give her a sense of security and provide emotional value. Gu Jingxuan, who grew up in a family like that, lacked exactly these things, so he could understand Yu Meijuan's concerns.
However, Gu Jingxuan would not give up easily on the people or things he had set his mind on, especially Yu Zihan, the little girl he had liked for a long time. How could he let her go so easily? So, the only thing he had to do now was to inform his family.
The home in his heart is not his father's home. There is no place for him in that home, and he has never expected his father's love. So the home he wants to return to is the Gu family where his grandparents are.
"You little brat, why are you back at this time? Have you healed your injury?" Gu Jingxuan knew that he could not hide the fact of his injury from his grandfather.
"Come and sit down." The old man ordered him seriously.
"What are your plans?" the old man asked straight to the point.
"I plan to leave the army." Gu Jingxuan made this decision after careful consideration. The reason why he had prestige in the army was that he had worked hard for it. Now he had lost even the opportunity to fight hard. He was not interested in staying in the army and being a mediocre civilian officer.
"Have you thought it through?" Mr. Gu asked regretfully.
"Yeah." Gu Jingxuan knew his grandfather's expectations of him. He had worked hard to meet his grandfather's expectations and achieved results, but now because of his injury, he had to disappoint his grandfather.
"Don't be sad. Now is a peaceful time. The country needs talents from all walks of life. If you can't make a contribution in the army, go to other positions to contribute to the country. Grandpa knows that you have always done everything for me. Now it's fine. You can do what you like. Grandpa believes that you can achieve excellent results no matter where you are."
Gu Jingxuan looked up at the old man in front of him. He thought his grandfather would be furious when he heard his decision. He thought his grandfather did everything for the greater good, for the sense of honor and mission in his heart. But his grandfather said he respected his wishes and believed in his abilities.
This was unexpected for him. Only then did he truly understand how strong his grandfather's love for him was. He also realized how much his grandfather had put into his upbringing.
"Child, you have suffered a lot these years." The two looked towards the source of the voice.
I saw grandma standing there with tears in her eyes. She must have heard the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and also knew that Gu Jingxuan was injured.
"Grandma." Gu Jingxuan stood up and helped his grandmother sit down on the sofa.
"I have something else to tell you." Gu Jingxuan wanted to share his joy and happiness with the two old people.
"What's the matter? You're so mysterious. Could it be that you have a partner?" Looking at his grandmother's gossipy eyes, Gu Jingxuan realized that women do have a keen sixth sense.
"I have someone I like, and the little girl agrees to my pursuit, but her parents haven't accepted me yet." Gu Jingxuan's face was full of tenderness when he talked about Yu Zihan.
"Good boy, as long as Mother Gu agrees, parents always listen to their children. But you have to behave well." Grandma said very experiencedly.
"Bring her here for grandma to see. The girl you like must be very outstanding." Grandma's expectant eyes were like a child's.
Gu Jingxuan said: "Actually, you all know her parents."
"Oh, which girl is she?" The grandfather, who is usually serious, also became interested.
"The daughter of Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan." Gu Jingxuan said and looked at his grandparents.
"That's good, that's good. The Pei family has excellent character, and Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan are also first-rate in appearance. That girl will definitely be pretty." Grandpa actually said such words for the first time, which overturned Gu Jingxuan's perception of his grandfather.
"You must be attracted by her beauty, right?" Grandma said jokingly.
"No, she is not only good-looking, but also has a personality that I like. When I have the chance, I will bring her home and let my grandparents see her." Gu Jingxuan said proudly.
"What do you mean by making time? The sooner the better." This time, grandparents stood on the same front.
"Okay, I'll tell her to come home to visit you as soon as possible."
The three of them were talking about something wonderful, and their atmosphere was harmonious and warm. A knock on the door broke this harmony.
At this time, Gu Lingfeng came in with Li Limei, their son Gu Jingyan and daughter Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Jingxuan saw that his father's face was not so good. On the other hand, Li Limei's face was full of gloating expression.
"Father and Mother." Gu Lingfeng greeted the old people first.
"Dad, Mom." Li Limei also greeted the old people.
"Grandpa, grandma." The two little ones greeted the old people and then walked to their grandmother. One was fourteen years old and the other ten years old. They were very well-behaved and their grandparents liked them very much.
"Dinner will be served soon." The old man was in a good mood when he saw his son and his family return. When one gets old, one always hopes to live with children and grandchildren around. As long as it doesn't involve the eldest grandson, the relationship between father and son is very good.
"I've heard about your situation. What are you going to do?" Gu Lingfeng always spoke condescendingly to Gu Jingxuan.
"I want to change my career." Gu Jingxuan answered his father's question coldly.
"You, how can you just retire like that? Do you know how much your grandfather worried about you during all these years you were in the army? How could you be so careless? Are you worthy of your grandfather?" Gu Lingfeng exploded immediately when he heard Gu Jingxuan's words and saw his cold attitude towards him.
"I agree. Why did you bring the arrogance you show outside to your father and your son? Do you think you are so great?" The old man, who was originally in a good mood, was angered by Gu Lingfeng's bad attitude towards Gu Jingxuan. He knew that when these two people confronted each other, there would be chaos. As expected, he felt really tired.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm leaving first." Gu Jingxuan said goodbye to the old people and turned to leave.
"Look at his attitude. Is this how a son treats his father?" Gu Lingfeng said angrily.
