"Haotian, is it fixed? It's time for breakfast."
"I'll be right there."
Gu Qianru put the food on the table and walked towards Luo Haotian while taking off her apron: "What's going on? Is the sewer blocked?"
"Yes, it is indeed blocked. It must be the work of those guys who came back last time. They were dissatisfied with the slow flow of water and took away the filter on the floor drain."
"Go wash your hands and eat. I'll tell them later that they are not allowed to do that again next time they come back, so that you, with your old arms and legs, won't have to unclog the sewer again."
"By the way, is your party today?"
"Yes, do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go. Just have fun. I'll take you there. When it's almost over, call me in advance and I'll pick you up."
"Okay, it's just a bunch of old women gossiping, so it's really inappropriate for you to be here."
Gu Qianru served Luo Haotian some porridge, and then pushed his favorite side dish toward him: "I made your favorite steamed dumplings with three fresh fillings. Try them. They are made with the fresh shrimps they sent over this morning."
Luo Haotian picked up a steamed dumpling and took a bite: "It tastes good."
Gu Qianru looked at the man who was eating happily across from her and said coquettishly, "You are so easy to please. You always say everything you give me is good or delicious, just like you are just trying to please me."
After hearing this, Luo Haotian suddenly thought of Ning Xueling. She seldom cooked, and when she finally did, the food tasted like pig food, hard to swallow. He just said that the taste was a little off, and Ning Xueling said in front of the children that he was really hard to please.
From then on, he found a reason and seldom went to the kitchen. But after they divorced, he heard people say that she was both a housewife and a cook in the Wei family, and that his marriage to her was really a joke.
During the few years they were together, she had a fertile physique and got pregnant the few times they had sex. But he was cold to his children. In the end, the only child he loved was not his own. It was really ridiculous.
Looking at Gu Qianru who was sitting opposite him, this was how life should be, respecting and loving each other, discussing everything, and having the house filled with laughter all the time, this was home.
After dinner, I drove everyone to the party. Unexpectedly, several colleagues who arrived earlier were chatting at the side of the hotel entrance. Someone spotted Gu Qianru and said, "Qianru is here. The one who brought you here is your current husband."
Gu Qianru smiled and said, "Yes."
"Now that he's here, why don't you let him come down and say hello to everyone and introduce himself to them? Isn't that too embarrassing?"
Gu Qianru's face turned cold: "How can you talk like that?"
"Oh, why are you so angry? Look at the way you are dressed now. Did you find a rich old man to marry?"
There were many people pursuing Gu Qianru at work before, but she was not attracted by any of them.
The woman who is speaking now, her current lover, has always been pursuing Gu Qianru. Even at this age, she sometimes mentions Gu Qianru, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
Later, Gu Qianru retired internally and she hadn't seen him for so many years. Someone arranged a gathering for her, and she had specially spent a huge amount of money to dress herself up today just to show off, but what was wrong with Gu Qianru? She looked the same as before, without even a wrinkle on her face, which made her even more unhappy.
Luo Haotian, who was still waiting for instructions, could no longer sit in the car after hearing what the woman said. He opened the door and got out: "Qianru, what time should I pick you up?"
Gu Qianru gave Luo Haotian a big smile: "I'll call you when the time comes. Drive slowly on the road."
Luo Haotian smiled back and nodded to the people beside him: "Then I'll go, have fun."
As soon as Luo Haotian left, someone beside him said in surprise: "Qianru, your husband is so handsome."
The woman who was looking for trouble just now came out to make trouble again: "What's the point of being handsome? If you don't even have a child of your own, you will have to live under the guise of others in a few years."
At this moment, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen came over with their three sons. Little Yezi was the first to run over: "Grandma, why are you here?"
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the parking lot, they received a call from Luo Haotian. Luo Haotian was a little worried about Gu Qianru, so he asked Luo Qiao to take some time to look after her.
When the three children heard someone speaking disrespectfully to their grandmother, they got out of the car and rushed to the gate.
Xiao Yezi ran over first: "Grandma, why are you here?"
"There's a party at work today. Why are you here?"
"The son of my father's comrade-in-arms is getting married, and we came here to attend the wedding banquet."
Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen walked over together. Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, your party is also here? That's a coincidence."
Lu Yichen also asked, "Mom, which box are you in?"
The woman standing next to Gu Qianru looked at Lu Yichen: "You are, you are, Qianru, is this your son-in-law?"
Gu Qianru smiled and said, "Yes, this is my son-in-law, and also my nephew, and that is my daughter, and also my nephew's wife."
The happy smile on her face couldn't be faked, and it was obvious that Gu Qianru had a good relationship with them.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The woman who was looking for trouble before jumped out again: "This relationship is really complicated."
Luo Qiao looked at the woman with a half-smile: "Auntie, my mother's happiness is not something you can envy."
The woman standing next to Gu Qianru finally interrupted: "Qianru, your son-in-law is Lu Yichen, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
Gu Qianru smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am very busy every day."
At this time, Lu Yichen's comrades came over and said, "Director Lu, Vice Dean Luo, welcome, welcome. Why are you standing here? Hey, Aunt Gu, you are here too."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "My mother came here to attend a party at work and happened to run into us."
The comrade smiled and said, "Aunt Gu, my son is getting married today. We are in a restaurant anyway. Come over and have a drink at the wedding."
Gu Qianru smiled and nodded in agreement, and after a few more pleasantries, Lu Yichen's comrades went to greet other guests.
Luo Haotian, who was far away, left with peace of mind after watching this scene. Although they were not a married couple, they were also the couple who had been together for so many years. He would not allow anyone to slander her.
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Mom, let's go in together. It just so happens that all your old colleagues haven't arrived yet. It won't be too late for you to go over later."
Gu Qianru knew what Luo Qiao meant, so she cooperated and said, "Okay, I'll go over and give my blessing first."
Then he smiled and said to his colleagues: "It's still early, I'll go in first and find you later."
As soon as they left, an old colleague came over and said, "Hey, isn't that Qianru?"
Someone replied, "Yes, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are coming to attend the wedding banquet. The host just invited her. She will come to see us later."
The female colleague who was looking for trouble interrupted again: "It's all for face, otherwise people won't recognize who she is."
The female colleague who just came over said, "You are wrong. Gu Qianru is very lucky. Although she is a second marriage and has no children of her own in this life, her stepchildren treat her the same as their own mother."
Then he talked endlessly about the situations of the Luo family's children, and concluded with one sentence: "Among our old colleagues, Qianru lives the most comfortable and happy life, which is something we cannot envy."
