Over the years, Jiang Yuan has been cherished and pampered by Gu Yong. She's not made of wood, so naturally she has feelings too.
Moreover, if they really get divorced, it's impossible for her to take both children with her.
Are we really going to leave the two children with the Gu family? Given the current state of the Gu family, even if Gu Yong is their biological father, there will be times when he can't protect them.
Won't the two children be bullied to death?
Jiang Yuan wavered.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan's attitude had softened, Gu Yong seized the opportunity to ask many people to speak on her behalf, implying that Jiang Yuan should be more magnanimous and that as long as Gu Yong cared about her and her two children, that was enough.
The mother and her two children in front, once they get married, they can move out and live there, right?
Otherwise, would she really have to give up Gu Yong? You have to understand that all these years, it was Jiang Yuan who stood by Gu Yong through thick and thin and saved his life.
She should have half of the Gu family's wealth. If she steps back, it would be a waste to give the mother and her three children the benefits.
Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your two children.
Gu Yong is a division commander, and judging from his posture, he's likely to be promoted. Following a father like that will be good for the child's future, won't it?
With Gu Yong constantly groveling and trying to please her, what could Jiang Yuan do? She endured it.
This forbearance led him to become a Ninja Turtle.
Gu Yong already felt guilty towards his two sons, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui. The fact that his biological parents were playing the victim for their sons only intensified Gu Yong's deepest sense of guilt.
Not only did she arrange jobs for her two sons, but she also gave them large sums of money, as if she wanted to make up for all the guilt she had felt over the past ten or twenty years at once.
Not only did he make up for it himself, but he also taught the two brothers, Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhiyuan, at home that they should be more tolerant of their two half-brothers, saying that they had suffered a lot and they should be humble towards them.
The two elders of the Gu family went to great lengths to ask Gu Yong for money and things, fearing that Gu Yong would spend all the money on Jiang Yuan and the Gu Zhiyuan brothers.
As for Fang Dani, she lives in the Gu family home under the guise of taking care of the two elderly Gu family members, but she acts as the lady of the house and calls Jiang Yuan "sister" all the time.
Jiang Yuan was a bit aloof by nature. Since she had agreed to let Fang Dani stay at her home, she never uttered a word of complaint, no matter how resentful she felt.
He just increasingly disliked staying at home and often worked overtime. By a twist of fate, he was promoted and became the vice president of a hospital in Beijing.
The Gu family elders, however, grew increasingly displeased with Jiang Yuan, feeling that since she was never home and always working outside, she might be trying to seduce someone.
Therefore, she couldn't stand the two Gu brothers and felt that they weren't her sons' offspring.
After all, both Gu Zhiyuan and his brother took after Jiang Yuan and were among the most handsome in the compound.
The two brothers, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui, resembled Fang Dani more.
After enduring it for a while, Jiang Yuan discovered that Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui seemed to have no intention of moving out at all, and the house was always in a mess.
When asked, Gu Yong replied that the two of them had just started working and weren't married yet. He said it would be easier to move out once they were married, right?
Shamelessly, he actually asked Jiang Yuan to introduce some better-off potential partners to the Gu brothers.
He kept saying that he had wronged the Gu brothers and that he should make it up to them. He wanted Jiang Yuan to show some respect as a stepmother and find good partners for the two brothers, so that he could be fair to the Gu brothers and that Jiang Yuan's reputation would be better.
In order to have some peace and quiet, Jiang Yuan actually introduced him to a family with good conditions.
After Gu Dajun and his brother arrived in the capital, they learned that they were the sons of a division commander, which raised their expectations and made them arrogant.
They also looked down on the girls introduced by Jiang Yuan, feeling that their family backgrounds were too ordinary and not good enough for their family.
He deliberately complained in front of the Gu family elders, saying that Jiang Yuan, their stepmother, was doing it on purpose, intentionally introducing them to men with poor conditions, as if she was afraid that the two brothers would become successful. She was keeping an eye on them, afraid that they would take away what the Gu brothers had.
In the hearts of the Gu family elders, their two grandsons are more important than their sons, like their very lifeblood.
Hearing this, he was furious and gave Jiang Yuan a severe dressing-down, saying that Jiang Yuan had ulterior motives and that stepmothers have never been good people.
She also scolded Gu Yong, saying that he had been bewitched by a little vixen and that he could not entrust the life-long affairs of his two sons to Jiang Yuan, his stepmother.
He even announced on the spot that the Gu family's future would belong to Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui! This is what Gu Yong owes the two brothers! The entire Gu family owes the brothers! Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhixing raised them; they're already being kind by just feeding them so they don't starve!
It's one thing to scold Jiang Yuan, but she also wouldn't stand for this arrangement of her two sons.
She immediately turned her back on the job and quit, declaring that Gu Zhiyuan would never starve with her as his mother!
Gu Yong first reassured the two elders of the Gu family, saying that everything he owned would definitely be left to the Gu brothers, Da Jun and Da Jun. Then, back in his room, he coaxed Jiang Yuan, saying that the old folks were confused and that he really shouldn't be bothered with them. Besides, the Gu brothers were also his offspring; how could he possibly treat them all equally?
Jiang Yuan was then asked to find two more girls from better family backgrounds for Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui.
Jiang Yuan refused to budge, saying she didn't have the ability, and besides, she was a stepmother. Even if she carefully selected someone, Gu Dajun and the others wouldn't be interested, so she didn't want to invite trouble.
Gu Yong had no choice but to ask several families he had his eye on to put in a good word, but they all refused.
The person spoke tactfully, but the meaning was very clear: Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui themselves were not good enough. Even if they had a division commander as their father, so what? They were incompetent, and Gu Yong was not young either. Could he take care of them for the rest of their lives?
And then there were the mischievous ones who went so far as to say that if Gu Zhiyuan reached marriageable age, they wouldn't need to ask anyone for help; if they had a suitable girl in their own family, she would definitely be eager to marry Gu Zhiyuan.
Hearing this, Gu Yong felt both proud and embarrassed.
Only then did he realize that even if he wanted to make up for the Gu brothers, he had missed out on the past twenty years. The Gu brothers' own qualities and conditions meant that while they were willing to find girls from well-off families, the girls were not.
When they returned and told the story, Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui were so embarrassed that they locked themselves in their rooms and refused to come out.
Fang Dani cried in front of him, saying that she was useless and could not help, and could only rely on Gu Yong, her biological father!
My two sons have suffered a lot. Marriage is a lifelong matter and cannot be taken lightly. I must find the best girl.
Come to think of it, it's because the two sons are currently in low-level jobs that they are looked down upon. Gu Yong should take better care of the two sons; once they become successful, better girls will naturally come knocking on their door.
Gu Yong was driven to desperation by Fang Dani's constant crying. He used his connections to get one of his sons into the military logistics department and the other into the police station.
Surprisingly, after the rearrangement, some people realized that Gu Yong still cared about his two eldest sons.
Some people then had the idea of marrying into the Gu family.
