Chapter 261: Manager Dong was persuaded
"Then I can't just marry Gu Bei. He's just a waiter in a restaurant and he's not that promising. It would be unfair for my daughter to marry him given her looks."
Dong Wan had already made up her mind and persuaded her father:
"Dad, I didn't choose him because of his personality. I mainly chose him because of his family background."
"What about his family? He's incredibly poor, and he has a wife who's as vicious as a tigress."
Shopkeeper Dong obviously couldn't understand his daughter's train of thought, and asked in confusion:
"You're wrong. It's because his wife has a bad personality that I can alienate them. Besides, I've already found out that Gu Bei has a son who doesn't seem to be very old and can still be won over.
Besides, Gu Bei's biological brother is Gu Yan. Although the two families don't interact much, they are still related. If something really happens, Gu Yan, as a younger brother, can't just stand by and watch. "
Shopkeeper Dong thought his daughter was too optimistic and said directly:
"If you're counting on Gu Yan to help you out, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible. I've met Gu Yan a few times, and he probably wishes the Gu family would die out.
Besides, as for that child Gu Bei, don’t say that it’s easy to win him over. Even if you win him over, what’s the point? His mother is still here.”
Miss Dong shook her head and retorted:
"I know that if something happens in the future, Gu Yan may not necessarily help, but Gu Yan's existence itself is a benefit to Gu Bei. At least they are still related.
The county officials didn't dare to deal with Gu Bei easily, so he could live a relatively stable life in the county.
Dad, I'm really fed up with the days where anyone can step on me."
As Dong Wan spoke, her tone became a little tearful, and Shopkeeper Dong patted his daughter's shoulder with heartache.
Dong Wan was comforted by her father and gradually calmed down. She said with a slightly harsh tone:
"As for Gu Bei's wife, if she knows what's good for her, she can go back to her parents' home. If she doesn't, I have plenty of ways to make her disappear from this world."
After hearing his daughter's plan, Manager Dong was still a little hesitant.
"That's not good, after all, it's a human life."
After hearing what Shopkeeper Dong said, Dong Wan raised her head and looked at her father, her eyes bloodshot as she spoke word by word:
"Then Dad, can you bear to see me stay at my mother's house for the rest of my life, or continue to live the same life as before?"
Whoever's child it is, they will feel sorry for it. Seeing his daughter's somewhat paranoid look, Shopkeeper Dong couldn't bear to say anything more. Anyway, for someone of Gu Bei's status, even if Dong Wan got into trouble, he could still support the girl, so he said:
"Just do what you want to do. Dad will always support you."
Shopkeeper Dong and his daughter agreed that one would go to the main room and the other would go to the kitchen.
While Dong Wan was busy in the kitchen, Manager Dong was talking to Gu Bei in the main room.
Looking at Gu Bei who was sitting somewhat uncomfortably in the main hall of his house, Manager Dong spoke.
"Brother Gu, I'm in trouble too. My daughter is a widow at home. I'm thinking of finding someone who understands her and wants to marry her off. Do you know anyone there?"
After hearing what Manager Dong said, Gu Bei was stunned. He didn't expect that such a beautiful girl he met today was going to get married again.
Gu Bei didn't delve into the reason. He just instinctively didn't want to discuss this topic, so he just laughed it off. Maybe the glass of wine that Manager Dong gave him just now had an effect, and he actually started to complain about his own grievances to Manager Dong.
"Brother, I feel so miserable. I married a woman who doesn't care about her husband and instead supports her family."
When Shopkeeper Dong heard this, he knew that the relationship between Gu Bei and his wife was already very bad, and it seemed that his daughter Dong Wan's plan had a high probability of success.
Shopkeeper Dong rolled his eyes shrewdly and pretended to comfort Gu Bei.
After about an hour, Gu Bei sobered up a little and realized that he had behaved a little inappropriately at Manager Dong's house, so he wanted to say goodbye.
"Brother Dong, I was really drunk just now. I actually wanted to stay at your house for dinner. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, don't go. Our meal will be ready soon. It's a good opportunity for you to try my daughter's cooking."
Manager Dong can't let Gu Bei go. It would be a big deal if he left. His daughter is still waiting to marry him and is working hard to get him.
At this time, Dong Wan also came out of the kitchen, holding a small porcelain bowl in her hand. Seeing that Gu Bei was about to leave, Dong Wan spoke softly.
"Brother Gu, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Come and try this hangover soup I made especially for you."
Looking at Miss Dong who was trying so hard to keep him, Gu Bei felt as if his feet had taken root in front of the Dong family winery and he couldn't move no matter what.
With trembling hands, he took the hangover soup handed to him by Miss Dong and spoke haltingly.
"Since Uncle Dong and Miss Dong have invited me so graciously, I would be remiss to decline."
Shopkeeper Dong noticed the change in Gu Bei's address and deliberately teased him.
"Good job, Gu Bei, now you know to call me Uncle Dong instead of Brother Dong."
Gu Bei scratched his head pretending to be honest, as if he didn't know what Manager Dong was talking about. In fact, both of them already knew the purpose of Gu Bei's change of words.
Dong Wan pretended not to notice what the two of them said, and continued to serve Gu Bei more food and soup, but she didn't say a word.
But when Gu Bei looked at her, Dong Wan just looked at him quietly with a smile, which made Gu Bei stunned.
The meal made Gu Bei so full that he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet, and he didn’t know what the world was.
Gu Bei felt that he was completely intoxicated by Dong Wan's smile, but he still couldn't figure out what Shopkeeper Dong was thinking. He didn't know whether Shopkeeper Dong wanted to marry Dong Wan to him as he thought.
But if Gu Bei didn't mention this, Shopkeeper Dong wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative. Shopkeeper Dong had already discussed it with Dong Wan and decided that Gu Bei must take the initiative to propose the marriage, so that the initiative would remain firmly in the hands of the Dong family.
Gu Bei and the Dong family father and daughter each had their own thoughts, and they finished their meal like this.
When Gu Bei was about to leave after dinner, Dong's father and daughter sent him to the door.
Dong Wan smiled shyly at Gu Bei and said.
"Brother Gu, come to my house for dinner next time and I'll make you some chicken soup."
Shopkeeper Dong also spoke from the side.
"Gu family boy, you should understand my thoughts. If you have this intention, just send someone to our house. You know what we are doing, right? I won't say it more directly."
