Jiang Zhixing remained silent for several days until Xu Ningyan noticed something was wrong and asked Jiang Zhiyuan to inquire about it.
Although Jiang Zhiyuan didn't think it was a big deal, since his wife had asked, he reluctantly inquired.
After hearing Jiang Zhixing's words, he almost laughed in anger.
"Look at you, so pathetic! You've been with him and his son for so many years, and you still don't understand what kind of person he is? He seems fair, but he's actually biased! He seems affectionate, but he's actually heartless! Do you think he rose from a country bumpkin to a military commander all these years by luck?"
“You think he really didn’t know how he treated Mom before? No! He knew perfectly well! He just knew at that time that Mom had him in her heart and couldn’t live without him! He tested Mom’s bottom line step by step, forcing Mom and us to back down again and again! And he suffered no loss.”
"Once Mom couldn't take it anymore and completely broke off relations with him, didn't he quickly choose Gu Dajun and his gang? Before Gu Dajun and his gang made a move against your sister-in-law, did Gu Yong ever come to us or Mom?"
"Later, after being betrayed by Gu Dajun and his gang and being demoted, he pretended to be deeply devoted to our mother. Did you think he was truly repentant? No! He just knew he couldn't count on Gu Dajun and his gang, so he wanted to play the emotional card, hoping we would remember our past relationship and give him a hand!"
Even if we can't help him, we won't kick him while he's down, considering his regret and deep affection!
“He knows very well that we’ve completely severed ties with him, that we hate him to the core! There’s no possibility of reconciliation! And Gu Dajun and the others betrayed him; given his personality, he will never forgive them!”
"Being all alone, he's probably longing for the good old days when our mom and Fang Dani took care of him, right? Why don't we hurry up and find someone to serve him? You say you're going to marry him, but look at his circumstances, it's just about finding someone to serve him, without spending any money, and having someone take care of him attentively and wholeheartedly!"
Jiang Zhiyuan said with a cold smile. He saw through Gu Yong completely and felt utterly contemptuous of him.
I didn't expect Jiang Zhiyuan to still have hope for him; he's still too young.
After listening to his older brother's analysis, Jiang Zhixing felt his worldview was shattered.
He wanted to retort, but when he thought about it, he realized that Jiang Zhiyuan hadn't said anything wrong.
Isn't Gu Yong exactly like that? Selfish, self-centered, and only loving himself.
Did he really not know that Gu Dajun and Gu Daikui were bullying him and his two children? It's just that they didn't harm his interests, so he could forgive them in every way.
But once Gu Dajun and Gu Da Kui hurt him, why didn't they talk about the bond between blood relatives and the affection between father and son?
He simply and decisively left Gu Daikui and his several grandsons in the east, west, south, and north behind.
He was indeed too young.
Once he understood, Jiang Zhixing completely extinguished any remaining feelings he had for Gu Yong.
They discussed it with Jiang Zhiyuan: "Since that's the case, should we return the money and things he left behind to him, or..."
Jiang Zhiyuan chuckled twice: "We can't take his money! Otherwise, it might cause trouble later, and he might use it to ask us for favors! We'll go to his house tomorrow and return the money and things to him! We'll also congratulate him on his upcoming third marriage!"
Both brothers are very proactive; they act on their ideas immediately.
The next day, the two of them gathered up all the money and belongings that Gu Yong had left behind.
There's no need to tidy it up. It was exactly as it was when we brought it back, and it's still in the same state in the cabinet. Now that we've taken it out, it's just covered in dust and looks exactly the same. Nobody has ever touched it.
The two brothers arrived at the military compound and registered their names.
Although the two had left the military compound a few years ago, many people still recognized them, including the sentries on duty.
Without asking, it was obvious that the two were going to find Gu Yong.
However, according to regulations, both individuals still need to register their identities.
Jiang Zhiyuan simply pulled out his work ID; with his current status, entering the military compound was quite easy.
They encountered many acquaintances on the way. When they saw the Jiang brothers, they were initially surprised, but quickly realized what was going on.
It seems the two brothers knew Gu Yong was looking for a match and came to ask him for clarification.
Or are they here to oppose it?
One of the more outspoken ones asked directly, "You two brothers are here to see Chief of Staff Gu, right? Did you find out that Chief of Staff Gu is going to meet some female comrades? Hey, if you ask me, what is Chief of Staff Gu going to meet? Doctor Jiang hasn't even found anyone yet, has she? They've been married for decades. Even if there were some unpleasant things before, time has passed and it's all in the past! Even for the sake of you two brothers, it's good that you've reconciled—"
"It's good that you brothers are here. You can talk to your father about those women outside. You can't judge a book by its cover! They're not as good as Doctor Jiang, are they?"
Jiang Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "You've misunderstood! We came here because we heard about Chief of Staff Gu's marriage proposal, and we came specifically to congratulate him and give him some gifts!"
Jiang Zhixing added from the side, "That's right, I came here specifically to congratulate Chief of Staff Gu on his third marriage! I hope he finds a suitable female comrade soon, so they can grow old together in mutual support!"
That left no room for response.
Several acquaintances gave awkward smiles, not wanting to say anything more. They chuckled dryly a few times and made excuses to leave.
After the Jiang brothers went to the Gu family's house, these people gathered again behind them, pointing and whispering: "You guys, the Gu family, no, now the Jiang brothers, are you telling the truth? Their father is getting a new wife again, and they're still here to congratulate him peacefully? Are they here to cause trouble?"
"I don't think so! Putting everything else aside, what is Dr. Jiang's eldest son's status now? At such a young age, he's almost on par with Old Gu. Do you think he would care about this?"
"I don't think so either! After Dr. Jiang divorced Old Gu, both of her sons are incredibly successful. The eldest is already the deputy director of X unit, and the second is studying diplomacy at Renmin University of China—he'll be a diplomat after graduation! Her eldest daughter-in-law also got into Peking University and gave Dr. Jiang twin grandsons. They're living a very prosperous life! It's a hundred times better than before she divorced Old Gu! Why would she be so foolish as to come back to her old flame? Besides, the flame is old."
...
When they arrived at the Gu family's house, before they even entered the courtyard, they saw the auntie from the courtyard leading out a woman in her forties with gentle and kind eyes and a somewhat thin figure.
The auntie didn't even look at the woman; she was talking to her with her head down: "See that? Two-story house, and an orderly. Only Lao Gu lives there. What more could you ask for? They don't mind you, and they're even willing to let you bring your daughter over. You'd better seize this opportunity! Once it's gone, it'll be gone forever! Don't say I didn't think of you when something good happened—"
The woman said softly, "Commander Gu is such a good catch, but I just feel like I'm not good enough for him. I'm just an ordinary worker, my husband died and I have a daughter to raise. Besides housework, I don't have anything else to offer! And I'm also injured and can't have a child for him. If anything happens in the future, and we don't have a child together, I'm afraid he'll look down on me—"
