Chapter 63 Good men are fought for
"Mom, how did you know about this?" Ji Huayan was even more surprised.
Mother Ji smiled.
Of course they knew. Ji Nian Shan had long been paying attention to this brave and resourceful young man, and after learning about his connections, he valued him very much. So he asked someone to investigate, and found out that although Gu Xiyue had a wife in his hometown, their relationship was not good, and his wife had always wanted to leave him.
I also know that although Gu Xiyue has retired from the army, he has actually always been taken care of by his previous leader. It was also because of that leader that he was able to get the order for military combat uniforms this time. If that relationship can be used by his Ji family, then the network that faded after adopting Ji Huayan can continue.
Not only did his Ji family adopt the orphans of the martyrs, but the meritorious soldier who voluntarily retired after being injured in the line of duty was also his Ji family's son-in-law. Wouldn't it be easy for the Ji family to get some resources in the future?
"Mom has checked. The woman's name is Zhou Nuan. She is the second child of the Zhou family in Wantou Village. You stayed in that Zhou family for a while when you were a child."
Ji Huayan's eyes widened: What a coincidence.
"It's not important, Hua Yan. Mom just wants to ask you, do you like this man?"
Ji Huayan was confused: Does he like her? She should like him, otherwise she wouldn't have chased him like a madman just by seeing his photo and before meeting him in person, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about him day and night and only wanted to see him once.
She always felt that she and he were meant to be a couple, that they were meant to be together.
"But," the wife let it go and said they could divorce, "he already has two children."
"Silly child." Mother Ji smiled and touched her face kindly. "Men are not like women. It's not just a saying that I would rather be with my beggar mother than my official father. Men value beauty over love. As long as you win Gu Xiyue's heart, you don't have to worry that he won't be with you."
"Besides, it's not like you can't have children. After you give birth to the baby, those two little bastards won't matter. Just throw them back to the countryside. Besides, those two little bastards may not be Gu Xiyue's."
"But..." Ji Huayan was still very conflicted.
"Hua Yan." Ji's mother said seriously, "Your father and I both think that Gu Xiyue will definitely achieve great things in the future. If you have feelings for him, mom encourages you not to give up and pursue him if you like him. You have been educated in the West for many years. Don't be constrained by those feudal ideas. You should know that true love is the most important thing. A marriage without feelings should give way to true love. What do you think?"
"Good men are not available in the market. Similarly, good men are actively sought after."
Ji Huayan's heart was in turmoil when she heard this: Yes, it's just an arranged marriage, just two children of unknown origin, how can it be more important than her feelings? At most, she can give her a little more child support after she marries Gu Xiyue.
Maybe the girl named Zhou Nuan should thank her for saving her.
Once she figured it out, she felt much better. She hugged Ji's mother's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I know you love me the most. In my heart, you are my real mother!"
Ji's mother smiled slightly and didn't respond.
After comforting Ji Huayan, Ji's mother closed the door and went downstairs. Ji Huacheng came back at some point, and the father and son sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking.
The two father and son had never gotten along, and she was used to it. She just asked calmly, "You're back."
Ji Nian Shan asked her, "How is it? What's wrong with Hua Yan?"
"I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just unhappy that I didn't see the person I wanted to see."
Ji Huacheng frowned when he heard this, "Hua Yan went to Xi Zhou to look for someone again? Why is she so unwilling to listen to advice? He is obviously not interested in her, but she is still trying to please him. How can a forced melon be sweet? Mom, tell her not to go, or else people will laugh at our family."
Ji's mother and Jinianshan looked at each other, and Jinianshan coughed softly, "Don't worry about your sister's affairs."
"How can we not care? Although Hua Yan is not our biological child, we can't let her do whatever she wants. Dad, you guys have spoiled her too much. She has become so willful and possessive that she wants everything she wants. Sooner or later, she will cause trouble."
Ji Nian Shan looked serious, "What's wrong with that?"
"I don't see what's good about it!" Ji Huacheng retorted, "Dad, I even think you are deliberately condoning it. What are you thinking?"
He really didn't understand. To say that his parents were not good to this adopted sister, they listened to her and did whatever she wanted. But to say that they were good to her, which parents would indulge their children to such an extent? Indulging a child is like killing a child.
Ji Nian Shan paused and changed his tone, "Hua Cheng, you don't understand. I have my own plans. Anyway, you will be grateful to me in the future."
Ji Huacheng frowned even more: How did Ji Huayan's matter involve him? Why would he be grateful to him in the future?
He didn't understand and couldn't explain it. He only knew one thing, that Gu Xiyue's photo was put there intentionally by his parents, and they really wanted Gu Xiyue to become the son-in-law of the Ji family.
"I don't know what you want to do, but I advise you not to treat others as fools and let them do whatever you want." He stood up and turned away without looking back.
"Hua Cheng..." Ji's mother wanted to call him, but was stopped by Ji Nianshan.
"Young people are ignorant, but it's okay. Sooner or later, he will understand our good intentions."
On the other side, Haicheng Hospital.
Zhou Nuan was sitting in the emergency room. A bald middle-aged doctor in front of her asked nervously, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
“…” She really didn’t feel uncomfortable anywhere right now.
Gu Xiyue on the side pursed his lips and said, "Doctor, her wrist was injured."
As he said that, he pulled Zhou Nuan's hand in front of the doctor.
The middle-aged doctor was speechless when he saw them. Just now, the two men were in a hurry, and he thought they were seriously injured. Is this all?
"You've arrived just in time," he said.
Gu Xiyue's expression was stern, and even Zhou Nuan became nervous: Could it be that this doctor had discovered some other hidden illness? No way? She was just pinched and her wrist was red, and even the small cut on her wrist was caused by her accidentally being scratched by the stool.
"If you come any later, the wound will have healed."
Zhou Nuan, "..."
She said, "Doctor, you are so humorous."
"Thank you for the compliment." The doctor glanced at her indifferently and quickly wrote down a prescription. "Go buy a Band-Aid. No need to come back for a follow-up check-up. Next one!"
The Gu couple who were ruthlessly driven out: . . .
Gu Xiyue lowered his eyes, and his gaze sank slightly when he saw the redness and swelling on her wrist. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."
He shouldn't have brought her to the factory. He never expected that old man Fan would be so bold.
