Xiao Qian, who had been very determined, fell silent, but soon perked up again. "Ms. Zhou, why did you split up the family? After the split, everyone lives with you. How do you feel about that?"
After many twists and turns, time has passed, and the thorn in the heart is the root of the change in feelings. This Xiao Qian is thoughtful and delicate, no wonder he can make the lonely and sensitive Guo Yao fall in love. "Is there no chance at all? After wasting time, will I look back and regret it?"
Xiao Qian shook his head. "At least I left behind the best times. The other way might have been too much to look back on."
Zhou Xiang stopped trying to persuade her, and asked, "Do you want me to help explain?"
"That's not necessary, Miss Zhou. I'm sorry for betraying your trust!" Tears welled up in Xiao Qian's eyes. He turned to Professor Chu and bowed slightly to him. "I promised to stay with you until old age. I broke my promise. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, don't worry about it," Professor Chu waved his hand. "To be honest, it's my fault. If I hadn't given you the day off, this wouldn't have happened."
"It has nothing to do with you. It's fate. If I had just retired and returned home, I probably wouldn't have been much better. It's a fate I can't escape."
Xiao Qian, who said this, seemed to have lost all his vitality and felt sad and decadent.
After he dragged the powerless woman away, Zhou Xiang sighed deeply, "Teacher, I feel so upset."
"Me too!" Professor Chu also sighed. "We were just having a good New Year, but something like this happened. I don't know how the Guo family will react!"
"What makes me upset is that Xiao Qian's feelings for Guo Yao are so strong that he feels they've been tainted even by just lying in bed together. Isn't this kind of purity too much? He's ruined the lives of three people."
As for Guo Yao, whether he accepted Xiao Qian's betrayal or understood Xiao Qian's actions, he was ultimately hurt.
"Yes! Xiao Qian's actions are too extreme. Didn't the woman agree to a divorce?"
"He's afraid," Zhou wanted to explain to the teacher, "that if he and Yaoyao get together, this will become a source of conflict between them. After countless arguments over this, their love will turn into hatred, and it will be too much to bear looking back on."
"Didn't he add 'maybe' before 'I can't bear to look back'? How could it have come to that? They say marriage is the grave of love. Passion fades after marriage. Maybe both of them don't care about this incident anymore?" Professor Chu really didn't understand.
All Zhou Xiang could do was call Guo Jia over and tell him about Xiao Qian's attitude and behavior. "I don't know whether I should tell Yao Yao. Xiao Qian won't let me explain to her, but what if Yao Yao finds out many years later and thinks she can accept it? Wouldn't that be a missed opportunity? Oh, I'm so confused by this 'big surprise'. Xiao Qian doesn't want a divorce and wants to keep both herself and others from getting a divorce. There's no such thing as a missed opportunity."
Guo Jia didn't expect such a situation. "I don't know either. I'd better go back and discuss it with my mother."
After hearing this, Guo Xuehua immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. If you want to blame someone in the future, just blame me. Let her rest for a few days. Once she gets into university and sees the wider world, she'll be able to let go of this hazy first love soon."
Guo Jia told Zhou Xiang his mother's decision. Zhou Xiang no longer wanted to participate in the discussion. This was the Guo family's business. "Then tell Aunt Guo to wait until the 16th before leaving!"
Zhou Xiang was certain that the Guo family would not give Xiao Qian a chance, and that Xiao Qian was a stubborn person who could not be pulled back. He asked the teacher to select someone from the bodyguard company. "Teacher, the people sent over there are all active military personnel. They will retire when their time is up. They finally hired Xiao Qian back, but he still didn't stay long. We might as well just select someone from the bodyguard company."
"That's fine," Professor Chu agreed. His old boss was no longer suitable to take care of him. "It's OK to bring a family with you, as long as they're simple and have good character."
"Yes!" Zhou Xiang agreed and handed the matter over to Ling Ran.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the new bodyguard arrived, "Sister-in-law, boss."
"Ge Xin?" Zhou Xiang was surprised. "You retired?"
"Yes," Ge Xin nodded. "I retired in the second half of last year and joined a bodyguard company. I've been racking my brains trying to figure out when I'll have the chance to come back. Hehehe, I know I shouldn't gloat over other people's misfortunes, but I just want to thank Xiao Qian."
"Can you cook?"
"Not bad cooking."
"Okay then!" Zhou wanted to introduce Ge Xin to the teacher. "Teacher, although this guy is a little older and thinner, he should be able to take care of you. He was also among the team members who went on the mission in the formation space that year."
Professor Chu chuckled and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember it. No wonder he looked familiar. Does he have any relatives?"
Ge Xin touched his face. Where was the man supposed to be in his prime at 41? How did he become old? Also, he was lean, wasn't he?
"Professor Chu, my family is working as farmers at home. Where there are people, there are also rivers and lakes. It's more secure to leave them at home. I can just send my monthly salary back."
Only after the new bodyguards were in place did Professor Chu report Xiao Qian's situation. The old boss also cut off Xiao Qian's salary. "We are relieved that You Zhou wants to take care of you. That child is loyal and righteous. Your old age will be worry-free."
Ge Xin integrated into his new identity very quickly. He met all the security guards during morning exercises. Whether they were familiar with each other or not, they became friends after a fight. In two days, he became brothers with everyone.
Ling Ran, who had recently felt his muscles were loose, also participated in the morning exercise, kicking Ge Xin, who was like a fish in water, away, "Don't make the mistake of your mission goal."
"Don't worry," Ge Xin dodged, "Professor Chu said he'll move back in sixteen."
"You better be more careful!" Ling Ran sneered at him. "You're not unique. There are many people in the bodyguard company who want to replace you. Professor Chu doesn't like people who are frivolous around him. He's very satisfied with small amounts of money."
"Don't worry," Ge Xin patted his chest, "I promise it won't be returned."
Speaking of Xiao Qian, Ge Xin had a question, "Is Xiao Qian really fickle?"
"Who are you listening to?" Ling Ran glanced around at the security guards sternly. "Don't be like those women gossiping about things that don't exist. What are you talking about? That's Zhou Kaiyue's family. If he gets angry, you'll all be in trouble."
After Ling Ran left, Ge Xin bowed to everyone repeatedly. He really didn't know that this matter was not made public.
At the Guo family, after the second daughter lay in bed for a few days and still couldn't figure it out, Guo Xuehua got angry and uncovered the quilt on her body. "If you don't want to live anymore, why are you still covering yourself with the quilt? Wouldn't it be better to just freeze to death? For an ungrateful guy, you threw all our concern behind your back.
I was the one who gave birth to you and raised you. I didn't spend a penny or a grain of food on you. Just a few ambiguous words and you want to commit suicide. Then just die, and don't let us hang around and be sad with you.
You've only lived for 20 years, and you already feel like you're living a life worse than death. How did I survive in the Zhu family? Besides that one person, is there no longer any of our family in your heart?
Or do you think that family members are family members and should tolerate you like this? Why don't you go to the Zhu family and ask them to tolerate you? Are you spoiled and arrogant or have you had too much of a good life? Don't you think you have the same moral character as the Zhu family? "
Guo Yao shuddered when he suddenly lost the warm blanket on his body. His mother's heartbroken words of accusation contained only three words: ungrateful wolf.
