"Let them think what they want. Why should I stop living just because of their opinions?"
Liu Wenqing looked at Gu Huanian with disdain in her eyes; "I don't think I'm unworthy. If Shujing marries me, people will only envy her for finding a young and handsome man. They won't think she's wasting her youth waiting for you, her older brother."
Gu Huanian was furious when he heard the words "elder brother": "In short, I will not allow you to get married. If you dare to marry this pretty boy, then return everything my mother gave you back then. And this house, it should also be in your name, right? If you are with him, return it as well."
Chen Shujing never expected Gu Huanian to go so far. Everything else was fine, but she had already given the box of jewelry that his mother had given her to Su Li.
She had promised she wouldn't take it back, and how did he know the house was left to her by the old lady?
The old lady liked her and left her two properties, this being one of them.
She hadn't told anyone, but she never expected Gu Aiguo to guess it.
Liu Wenqing didn't care whether Chen Shujing had these things or not, but he couldn't make that decision.
It all depends on Chen Shujing's attitude. If she's willing to give it to him, he'll support her.
If she is unwilling, he will do his best to help her fight for it.
Chen Shujing looked at Gu Aiguo and said calmly, "This house was given to me by the old lady. I will never return anything given to me by the old lady. It wasn't given to me by you, so what are you yelling about here?"
She won't give him a single penny; the house can be left to her son and grandson when she gets old.
Getting her to return it is a pipe dream.
What if Gu Aiguo finds someone else in the future, given his tendency to give everything to others?
It's impossible to expect him to leave anything for the children.
Gu Aiguo refused to give up and insisted, "Chen Shujing, I don't care about anything else, but if you don't return my mother's things, you're still our Gu family's daughter-in-law, and you can't marry this pretty boy."
"I'm going to marry him anyway, so what can you do to me?"
This time, Chen Shujing really went against him.
"I didn't publicize your affair with my sister back then, which was already out of respect for the two elders. Chen Shuling is still waiting for you in prison. Should I send you in too, so you can keep her company? I visited her the other day, and she misses you terribly."
When Gu Aiguo heard her mention Chen Shuling, his face immediately turned ugly. "I have things to do at home, so I'll go back first."
After saying that, without waiting for their reply, he quickly left Chen Shujing's courtyard.
After watching him leave, Chen Shuqing reached out and touched Liu Wenqing's face; "Are you stupid? Next time he hits you, you must dodge, do you hear me? He's a soldier, he doesn't know his own strength. What if he hurts you?"
Liu Wenqing reached out and placed his hand on hers, gently stroking it; "Shujing, the thought of us getting married next month makes me so happy that I want to tell everyone the news."
Chen Shujing nestled in the man's arms, feeling a surge of excitement.
She actually wanted to marry him too.
Su Li hadn't seen Gu Huanian for a while after he misunderstood her.
She felt a little empty inside, probably because she had too much free time.
Thinking that she could take advantage of the summer vacation, she wanted to buy the textile factory that had announced its closure a few days ago.
Su Li took out the dress that Gou Sheng had given her in the morning and put it on. When Gou Sheng saw it, he smiled and said, "This dress looks really good on you, sister."
"That's really good, you have excellent taste." She didn't hold back her praise.
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you again next time."
Su Li knew that Gou Sheng had been doing small business during this time, but she didn't ask or interfere. She only occasionally reminded him not to forget his studies.
Before she left, Su Li looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "You'll be taking care of the kids all morning today, is that alright?"
Su Li was actually a little worried, but these days Chen Shuqing was preparing for her wedding with Liu Wenqing next month.
She felt bad about always having her come over; she wanted to give her some private space and time to be alone together.
But today I'm going to meet the factory manager of that textile factory, and I feel it wouldn't be proper to bring a child along.
She had seen how good Aunt Zhang was to the child these days.
If the baby cries even slightly, she runs faster than the mother.
She does everything very well, from changing diapers to washing the baby's bottom.
This also made Su Li trust her more.
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up with a fleeting joy upon hearing Su Li's words; "Don't worry, I'll take good care of the child. You go about your business; I'll make sure he doesn't go hungry."
Su Li felt a little relieved after hearing this.
She happened to be going out with Gou Sheng when she left.
Su Li smiled and gave a few words of advice: "Gousheng, I have something very important to take care of today. If you're done, try to come back early. I'm a little worried that the nanny will be too busy taking care of the child alone at home."
Gou Sheng laughed and said, "Okay, I'll come back after I sell the first batch of clothes."
He had originally planned to visit Tang Yue today, but now he realized that his sister's matter was more important.
If he comes home early after selling clothes, he can help hold the baby while Aunt Zhang cooks.
After Su Li gave the instructions, the two parted ways at the fork in the road.
She went directly to the garment factory and walked to the factory gate.
Su Li was stopped by the security guard: "Who are you looking for?"
Su Li smiled and handed over a pack of cigarettes, which she had prepared to store in her spatial storage. She said, "Hello, could you please help me find the factory manager? I'm very interested in this textile factory, and if possible, I'd like to discuss an acquisition and cooperation with your factory manager."
