Zhang Meng glanced at Gu Mingtai, who was silent with his eyes downcast. She felt anxious and immediately spoke up for him. "Can you please stop talking nonsense? Who said we were going there by bike? We're going to ride our bikes to the county town first. My Gu Mingtai's car is parked there, understand?"
Gu Mingtai's expression suddenly softened. He raised his head and called out to Zhang Meng, who had spoken up for him. "Don't talk so much. You might get tired of talking. Come on up. I'll give you a ride."
Zhang Meng's face showed a happy expression, "Okay."
Nie Junyou, who stayed where he was, looked at the couple who had already ridden away, shook his head and smiled, then quickly started his bike and followed them.
When the couple arrived at the county town on their bicycles, Gu Mingtai left the bicycle at the scrap collection station. He drove his car assigned by the army with Zhang Meng and followed Nie Junyou's car in front to Shanghai.
In this era, Shanghai is a wealthy city that many people yearn for.
It can be said that people in the future are proud of going abroad, while people of this generation are proud of coming to Shanghai.
As soon as she arrived in Shanghai, the legendary overseas Chinese store caught Zhang Meng's eye.
In her previous life, Zhang Meng heard people around her talk about this place the most. At that time, she was still wondering whether she would have the chance to visit it once in her lifetime. As a result, she never expected that she would die so young.
"I heard from some of my comrades from Shanghai that there are a lot of good things for sale here. When we finish our business, I will take you around here and we can buy anything you want."
"Okay, I heard that everything here is beautiful. Let's buy some more and bring them back as gifts for my uncle and his family."
"I'll do as you say." Gu Mingtai, who was driving, listened to the detailed count with a slightly curved mouth and responded in a good-tempered manner.
The car driven by Nie Junyou drove on the streets of Shanghai for half an hour and finally stopped outside a small villa similar to a Western building.
A group of people with indifferent expressions were standing outside the door of the small villa.
After getting off the car, Nie Junyou smiled and walked towards an old man standing at the front of the crowd, "Grandpa, your precious grandson is back. Did you miss me?"
Nie Guiming snorted, "Get lost, you little bastard! Do you still have me, your grandpa, in your eyes? You've been playing outside for so long, you're finally willing to come back, right?"
Nie Junyou leaned his head on his chest ingratiatingly, "Grandpa, don't be like this, I'm back, and I brought someone back for you, shouldn't you thank me?"
Nie Guiming gently pushed him away and looked at Gu Mingtai who was standing next to the car not far away, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Now that we're home, why are you still standing there? Don't you want to come over?" Nie Guiming looked at Gu Mingtai, his eyes neither sad nor happy, without the joy of someone who had just seen his grandson after many years.
Because of some unspeakable things, he decided to hand the child over to human traffickers. He originally thought that the child would not survive. Unexpectedly, last year a man who claimed to be a monk came and said that if the family wanted to continue to prosper, he had to find the child he had lost.
Gu Mingtai stood there with a cold expression, looking at the group of people calmly.
It turned out that these were his so-called family. The funny thing was that he couldn't feel any affection from them at all.
Zhang Meng walked up to him and stood beside him, gently extending a hand. His hand was a little cold, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.
Nie Guiming spoke again with a somewhat unhappy look on his face, "What's the matter? Do you want an old man like me to go and invite you over personally?"
Zhang Meng didn't like the old man in front of her. She held Gu Mingtai's hand tightly and whispered in his ear, "Gu Mingtai, if you don't want to stay here, we should leave now. We have money anyway, so we can find any guesthouse to stay in."
Gu Mingtai smiled lightly, "I'm fine. I know we have money, but there's a place for us to live for free. If we don't live there, we'd be fools. Their attitude doesn't matter to me at all. Be obedient and don't get angry with these unworthy people."
After coaxing her, Gu Mingtai took Zhang Meng's hand and walked towards the large group of people from the Nie family.
At this time, Nie Guiming glanced at Zhang Meng, who was being held by Gu Mingtai, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The descendants of his Nie family don't want to marry a country girl with no background like this.
"Remember, since you are a member of our Nie family, you must be willing to sacrifice for the Nie family at any time. Do you understand?" Nie Guiming looked at Gu Mingtai who was standing in front of them with displeasure.
Gu Mingtai glanced at these people and sneered, "Grandpa, did you say something wrong? My last name is Gu, not Nie. Your Nie family rules don't apply to me."
Nie Guiming pursed his lips tightly. All the Nie family members present knew that he was at his most angry. Suddenly, everyone in the Nie family turned pale and stepped back in fear.
Seeing the atmosphere around him becoming increasingly suffocating, Nie Junyou quickly came over, took Nie Guiming's arm and said flatteringly, "Grandpa, can't we go inside and talk if we have anything to say? Why do we have to do it here? It's so embarrassing."
Nie Guiming glanced at his most beloved grandson, then glanced at Gu Mingtai, and finally chose to do so for the sake of the former. At the same time, he snorted loudly, turned around and went into the house first.
"Brother, let's go in." As soon as Nie Junyou saw Mr. Nie enter the room, he immediately turned around and spoke to Gu Mingtai.
Gu Mingtai raised his eyebrows in displeasure, took a step forward, then stopped and looked at him and said, "Comrade Nie, please call me Comrade Gu. I don't deserve your call of "Big Brother."
