Chapter 918: How did it turn into a lump of coal?
After finally getting home, Gu Yin slept in her familiar surroundings and bed. When she woke up, it was already ten o'clock.
After washing up, Gu Yin went to the front yard.
Before I even got close, I could hear Wang Yanzhi's voice.
"As soon as he heard that Ayin was back, the kid's mind was no longer on school. He didn't even take his things. As soon as he got home, he dragged me to the airport! My old bones can hardly take his antics anymore! Anyway, that's all I have to say. We'll stay home for a few more days this time. When we leave, I hope you can give me an answer!"
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "What reply?"
Wang Yanzhi turned around and saw her beloved granddaughter. She immediately stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "Oh, my dear granddaughter! It's been so long! You seem a bit rough around the edges! Did you not use anything I prepared for you?"
Gu Yin was speechless: "Grandma, all the things you gave me were made by myself. Are you sure I made them sloppily?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhi released Gu Yin and said irritably, "I was going to ask if you've lost weight, but I can tell you haven't just by hugging you. So I have to find something else to talk about, in case you feel like we're strangers!"
Gu Yin said helplessly, "You're overthinking it. What kind of reply did you just give?"
"Oh, this? You know about it too. I've been with Ah Le abroad for the past two years. But look at me, I'm getting old and can't travel anymore. So I was thinking that either your dad or your mom has to go with me. Once I've taught them a thing or two, I'll come back to be with your grandpa. We've been separated for two years. What if your grandpa has other ideas? Wouldn't I be left without a companion for the rest of my life? That would be terrible!"
Gu Qinglang, standing to the side, sighed helplessly, "Mom! Oh my god! Don't talk nonsense, or Dad will be heartbroken."
They were wrong. How could they leave their own child to be raised by the grandparents? It's natural for parents to love their children, but children shouldn't be expected to be cared for by their parents. They've been focusing on their careers these past few years and haven't paid any attention to Gu Le. Gu Le's good looks are definitely thanks to Wang Yanzhi.
Wang Yanzhi was overjoyed: "Really? Then it's you! Get ready, don't regret it!"
Gu Yin chuckled. During the most difficult time abroad, Wang Yanzhi accompanied Gu Le through it all. Now that Gu Le can manage everything on her own, she doesn't need anyone to follow her anymore.
But the old lady felt sorry for her grandson. Over the years, he had been away from home and missed his parents and sister. His sister, Wang Yanzhi, couldn't help him get one, but he still needed to get one for his parents.
If someone else goes there, Gu Le will return to China in a couple of years.
Gu Qinglang understood, and Li Mengxin understood too, but when they first arrived in Beijing, they had to learn everything and couldn't spare the time to go abroad with Gu Le. Now that things were more stable, they should arrange for one of them to accompany Gu Le.
Life is short, and a child's childhood will pass quickly. They'll grow into teenagers, and if you stay with them any longer, it will be too late to regret it when they get married.
Gu Le wanted to refuse, to say that he was grown up and didn't need his family to accompany him. But whether in his past life or this life, he was a person who lacked love. His grandmother was very good, but she was not his parents after all. Ever since his sister and he were reborn, everyone had been busy. He was also trying to grow up, but at night when he went to sleep, he would think about snuggling in his parents' arms.
Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to say the words "no need".
Gu Yin reached out and patted Gu Le's shoulder, smiling as she said, "In the blink of an eye, you're already a head taller than me. In a few more years, you'll be an adult. Right now, you're still a child. Children can be willful and spoiled, and even if they make mistakes, they can be forgiven, you know?"
Gu Le reached out and hugged Gu Yin: "Sister, I'm not as brave as you."
Whether in this life or the last, my older sister is always braver than me.
Gu Yin chuckled: "Who told me to be the older sister? I like the word 'brave.' Once a person is brave, they dare to fight against the heavens."
The Heavenly Dao: "......" You think you're so high and mighty? You really did fight me, you're amazing!
"Hey! Everyone's here! Ah Le, you're abroad, how come you got here before me! Come on, let your big brother give you all a hug! Damn, I missed you guys so much!"
Gu Shu's surprised and excited voice came from outside the door!
Before Gu Yin and Gu Le could even open the box, they were pulled into a strong embrace.
"Oh no, Dad!"
Why did you hit me?! What's wrong with me hugging my younger siblings? It's not like I hug them all the time. I was just happy..."
"You've been gone for half a year, and you've even picked up swearing? Damn it! Who are you cursing at! I'll teach you to curse!"
Gu Yin and Gu Le turned around and saw that Gu Shu had been slapped several more times on the back.
Gu Le quickly stepped forward and pulled the person over.
"Brother, where have you been? Weren't you going to build a school with Uncle Chu and the others? Why are you so tanned? I'd believe you if you said you'd been in the desert for half a year!"
Gu Yin looked at Gu Shu's buzz cut, which was so short you could almost see his scalp, and then at his skin, which was several shades darker. Coupled with his current roguish demeanor, she thought, "Where did he go? He looks like a completely different person."
Seeing the shock and confusion on Gu Yin and Gu Le's faces, Gu Shu poured himself a glass of water before briefly explaining.
“You think building a school is that simple? Let me tell you, all Uncle Chu does is give money and sign contracts. Aunt Chu handles HR and finances. I'm responsible for everything else. Ayin has high standards, wanting the school to be built in a place with mountains and water. Wouldn't that all be rural areas? I spend all my time finding people, supervising construction, socializing, and building relationships. After spending so much time with those people, if I didn't do all this, who would want to be friends with me, even if I was wearing a suit, white shirt, and shiny leather shoes? People wouldn't want to talk to me. I'm putting myself into this whole thing! Do you understand?”
Anyone in the engineering field understands this, and even Gu Yin, who isn't in engineering, understands it. Chu's father was sent to construction sites by the old man for two years to "train" himself, until he understood all the procedures, before being transferred back.
Chu Yan entered the financial industry on her own, without working in real estate with her family, so she didn't have that experience, but Gu Shu did enjoy it.
"You're complaining now? People want to learn but no one teaches them!" Gu Qingming raised his hand and slapped him again.
Gu Shu, clutching her aching arm, ran to the old lady's side: "Grandma! Look at my dad! When did I complain? If I were complaining, would I be this dark-skinned? Look how thin I've gotten!"
The old lady raised her eyebrows upon hearing this: "Really, you didn't slack off?"
Gu Shu's eyes widened: "Grandma! You've changed! Before, when I came back from a long trip, the first thing you'd say was that I'd lost weight again! But now!!!"
"Hahaha, I can testify that Ashu didn't slack off!" A hearty laugh came from the doorway.
