Gu Huanian picked up a fried dough stick and put it in her mouth; "Eat first, I'll take you to school later."
"Um"
Gu Aiguo took a sip of porridge and looked at Su Li, saying, "Today, my good brother from over ten years ago has returned from abroad. He's coming to visit us. Su Li, you're practically our Gu family's future daughter-in-law. So, ask the school for leave today and come to my place together."
Su Li found Gu Aiguo's words very grating; his tone was commanding. She was about to retort that she had no intention of taking the day off and didn't want to go.
Gu Huanian grabbed her hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything and that he would handle it.
"Dad, you can pick up your so-called friend yourself. Ah Li and I both have our own things to do. My mom has a hard time at home too, so please stop coming here to freeload."
Gu Aiguo: "......."
He only ate a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and now he's accused of begging for money?
“Hua Nian, my friend was very good to you when you were young. You have to go back today. If Su Li really doesn’t want to go, then forget it.”
"Okay, I agree, you can go now." Gu Huanian really didn't want Gu Aiguo to appear here again, as it would easily affect his mother's mood.
Gu Aiguo felt a little hurt by his son's words. He now seriously doubted whether Gu Huanian was his biological son, wondering why he could say such hurtful things.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Come over early at noon."
Seeing Gu Huanian nod, he then looked at Chen Shujing and asked, "Do you want to go with Huanian too?"
Chen Shujing shook her head: "I won't go."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Chen Shuqing had made an appointment with Liu Wenqing yesterday to go hiking together today.
It must be him urging her, so Chen Shujing hurriedly ran to open the door.
Soon Chen Shujing brought Liu Wenqing in and asked, "Did you come so early for breakfast?"
Liu Wenqing was about to say he had already eaten, but then he glanced at the room and saw Chen Shujing's ex-husband still sitting there. He immediately replied, "Not yet."
Chen Shujing said with a smile, "That's perfect, we just ate too, come in and have some with us."
As she spoke, Chen Shujing led him to the dining table in the living room, then went to the kitchen to serve him a bowl of porridge and a pair of chopsticks.
Su Li greeted Liu Wenqing, saying, "Uncle Liu, why didn't you invite Xiaoru to eat with us?"
"She's already eaten and is in a hurry to get to school."
Su Li smiled and nodded.
Ever since Liu Wenqing came in, Chen Shuqing has been particularly attentive to his affairs: "Try this bun, try that fried dough stick."
He sat there for ages and no one offered him a taste; he was completely ignored.
Gu Aiguo's face darkened when he saw Chen Shujing's attentive manner.
When he arrived in the morning, he saw that Chen Shujing had just set out breakfast.
She didn't even suggest that he stay for a meal; he was the one who shamelessly went to the kitchen to get the food himself.
Now look at Liu Wenqing's treatment; it's like heaven and earth.
Even his future daughter-in-law hasn't said a word to him yet, but she greets Liu Wenqing as soon as he arrives.
He was furious. He knew these people didn't like him, but he was unwilling to leave like this.
After dinner, Gu Huanian took Su Li to school.
Chen Shujing frowned as she looked at Gu Aiguo, who still had no intention of leaving, and said, "We're going out now, can you go back?"
He wanted to leave anyway, but seeing Liu Wenqing staying there made him uneasy.
"You're going out? Where are you planning to go?" Gu Aiguo asked suspiciously.
Liu Wenqing took Chen Shujing's hand and said with a smile, "We're going on a date, are you going to come along?"
In a single sentence, he declared his current close relationship with Chen Shuqing.
Looking at the two holding hands, Gu Aiguo felt a pain in his chest from anger. That was his wife, and what was he, Liu Wenqing?
Gu Aiguo stepped forward and pulled Chen Shujing over, saying, "Do you even know him? Why are you going on a date with him?"
Chen Shujing shook off Gu Aiguo's hand and said, "My affairs are none of your business."
Liu Wenqing walked to Chen Shujing's side and smiled at Gu Aiguo, "Even if my character is terrible, I wouldn't fail to recognize my own wife, unlike some people who are blind and incompetent."
One sentence made Gu Aiguo feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
Gu Aiguo was dragged out of the yard by Chen Shujing, and he left in a huff.
Gu Huanian and Su Li walked directly to school, and he sensed that Su Li was in a good mood along the way.
She smiled and said, "Ah Li, I've already asked my mom to prepare for our wedding."
Su Li nodded. Since she had agreed, she didn't care whether it was sooner or later.
"I heard that the eighth day of next month is an auspicious day. What do you think?"
"Okay, but I have one condition: if we get married in the future, and you treat me badly, I can file for divorce, and you can't object."
Gu Huanian looked at Su Li seriously and said, "That day will never come. In my life, I will only be good to two women. One is you, and the other is my mother."
Su Li smiled and said, "Then just say whether you agree or not."
"Okay, I promise. If one day I really let you down, I'll lose all my assets and everything else and transfer them all to you."
"Okay, don't think so much. I'll take care of everything about our wedding. You don't need to worry about anything."
Su Li nodded, and just then they arrived at the school gate.
"Go inside! I'll pick you up after school."
Su Li nodded, and Gu Huanian walked towards a side intersection; "Come out!"
Soon, Shi Yuan emerged from the alley. Without a word, Gu Huanian swung his sword at him, saying, "Why are you so shady? You always like to hide in the shadows and spy on others. Don't you find that disgusting?"
Shi Yuan stood still and let him punch him twice. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Gu Huanian, are you going to marry her?"
"Yes! She will be my wife and the mother of my children. I'm warning you, stay away from her."
"Gu Huanian, I've never asked you for anything. I only ask that you give her to me. If you ever have any problems you can't handle, I'll step in for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Huanian threw another punch at Shi Yuan's face, but this time Shi Yuan dodged it.
However, Gu Huanian threw the second punch too fast, and Shi Yuan was still hit in the face.
Shi Yuan couldn't just stand there and take the beating forever, so he retaliated directly.
The two were evenly matched at first, but before long, Gu Huanian had him pinned to the ground and rubbing against him.
"Shi Yuan, I want you to understand one thing: A-Li is not an object. She is not someone you can give away, nor is she someone you can trade casually. Also, I don't need you to do anything for me. If I find you following A-Li again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Gu Huanian, Su Li can only be mine. If you have the guts, then kill me."
