Shen Honggang thought he had misheard. He rubbed his ears hard and asked with wide eyes:
"Girl, tell me...whose boyfriend are you?"
“Gu Zhiyun, the Gu Zhiyun who works at this forest farm!” Zhao Yanyan repeated clearly.
Shen Honggang felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, which exploded inside his stomach and ignited a fire in his heart with a "boom".
Well done, Gu Zhiyun!
You've already got a date coming to your door, and you still have the nerve to ask the head of the inspection team to be your matchmaker!
That's practically reading the Book of Life and Death in front of the King of Hell! They're so arrogant and ignorant!
Shen Honggang, still seething with anger, said to Zhao Yanyan, "Girl, you've come at the right time. I work at the forest farm. I'll take you to find Gu Zhiyun!"
Zhao Yanyan picked up her suitcase and happily followed Shen Honggang to the forest farm.
Today, all the forestry workers and educated youth are going up the mountain to cut timber. Before they go up the mountain, Old Xu will hold a meeting as usual. At this moment, the workers and educated youth are already waiting in twos and threes in the open space.
Everyone was surprised to see a well-dressed young woman with a fair complexion following behind Shen Honggang.
Yang Zinuo nudged Gu Zhiyun next to him: "Old Gu, doesn't that person look like Zhao Yanyan?"
Gu Zhiyun didn't even bother to lift his eyelids: "Why would she come?"
Yang Zinuo waited until Zhao Yanyan got closer, then nudged Gu Zhiyun and shouted:
"Old Gu, it really is Zhao Yanyan! What's she doing at the forest farm?"
“Girl, your boyfriend is right over there.” Shen Honggang pointed Gu Zhiyun out to Zhao Yanyan.
Upon seeing that handsome and tall figure, Zhao Yanyan's voice rang with joy as she waved vigorously at Gu Zhiyun:
"Brother Gu, it's me! I've come to see you!"
Her calling him "Brother Gu" was so intimate and ambiguous that it immediately caused an uproar.
"My goodness, where did this rich young lady come from?"
"Look at her outfit, she looks like a Western lady from a movie!"
"She keeps calling him 'brother,' so this must be Xiao Gu's boyfriend!"
When Gu Zhiyun saw Zhao Yanyan, his face was frosty.
Zhao Yanyan carried the suitcase and jogged all the way to Gu Zhiyun's side. She was panting and her fair face was flushed.
"Brother Gu, it's me! Don't you recognize me?"
She was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Zhiyun's coldness.
Gu Zhiyun's voice was icy: "What are you doing here? Who sent you?"
Zhao Yanyan felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
Before coming, she was filled with wonderful expectations. She thought that Gu Zhiyun would be overjoyed to see her and would hold her hand and express his longing when no one was around. But she never expected that Gu Zhiyun's reaction to seeing her would be like this!
"Brother Gu, I've come to tell you some good news..."
"Stop calling me 'brother' and 'sister'!"
Gu Zhiyun said with a gloomy face, "You can either call me by my full name or call me Comrade Gu!"
Tears welled up in Zhao Yanyan's eyes, a look of grievance on her face: "Isn't that what we always called us when we were little..."
“We’re not children anymore, we’re adults now. Do you think you’re just getting older but not more emotionally intelligent?”
Seeing her pitiful look, Gu Zhiyun was extremely annoyed. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been a spoiled and weak young lady who was bullied by others.
"This is not a place for you. Go back now and don't keep me from getting to work!"
Gu Zhiyun had no desire to hear any good news from her.
Shen Honggang stepped forward with a dark face: "Gu Zhiyun, what kind of attitude is this? Your girlfriend came, and you didn't even ask her before kicking her out? Are you feeling guilty? What are you afraid of?"
Gu Zhiyun usually disdained arguing with people about baseless things, but since the other party was Shen Jingyan's uncle, he couldn't just ignore him.
"Uncle Gangzi, you've misunderstood. She's not my girlfriend."
Zhao Yanyan's tears fell instantly: "Brother Gu, you..."
Yang Zinuo stared at Zhao Yanyan in astonishment: "You two haven't seen each other for three years, when did you become Lao Gu's girlfriend?"
Shen Honggang looked at Gu Zhiyun, then at Zhao Yanyan, completely bewildered.
Meanwhile, the waves of educated youth and workers arriving were already whispering among themselves with curiosity.
Gu Zhiyun looked at Shen Honggang with an open and honest gaze and said, "Uncle Gangzi, there's been some misunderstanding here. I'll explain it to you later."
With that, he tossed the tools in his hand to Yang Zinuo and walked towards the northwest corner of the forest farm without looking back.
It was an open space with many tree stumps and small tables made of stones. When the workers took a break, they would sit there in twos and threes.
With tears in her eyes, Zhao Yanyan threw the box in her hand to Yang Zinuo.
Yang Zinuo didn't take it; the heavy box hit his foot, making him jump up in pain.
"Hey Yang, don't talk nonsense. When did I stop being Brother Gu's girlfriend?"
Yang Zinuo rubbed her feet: "You're really ridiculous! You still can't change your spoiled princess attitude even after you leave the house. Do you think everyone has to be like your parents and spoil you?"
Zhao Yanyan flung her hand away and ran after Gu Zhiyun, crying.
Shen Honggang asked Yang Zinuo, "Little Yang, you're an honest kid. Tell your uncle, what exactly is their relationship?"
Yang Zinuo raised his right hand confidently and said, "Uncle Gangzi, don't you trust Lao Gu's character? He doesn't have a girlfriend in the city at all. That's just hearsay and nonsense!"
"So, this young woman just blurted out that she's Gu Zhiyun's girlfriend, and that's all nonsense?"
Shen Honggang didn't believe that city girls would talk nonsense.
