Chapter 27
Jiang Yugui's words were actually very interesting. On the one hand, he explained Liu Yang's identity to threaten Jiang Limei that she must marry Yu Yao to the Liu family, and on the other hand, he was also testing the people of the Gu family.
If Gu Qing was just an ordinary military officer with no background, he would have retreated after hearing a few words from the deputy factory director. If they had a strong background, how could they tolerate hearing that their fiancée was being threatened by others?
It would be best if the two could come to blows, so that Fubao could be taken out in the chaos.
These little thoughts of his were not worthy of being shown in front of Mr. Gu, let alone Gu Qing.
Gu Qing should have waited for him to finish speaking before slapping him hard in the face, but when he heard his uncle slandering his niece in front of these two "outsiders", he suddenly felt bored.
Presumably, Yu Yao didn't want such an uncle at all. Sure enough, when he raised his eyes, he saw the hidden anger on Yu Yao's face.
Yu Yao is indeed a little angry now, but not because of his reputation. He is angry that Jiang Limei is always thinking about her younger brother, but he does nothing about it.
Hearing someone respond to him, Jiang Yugui hurriedly said, "It's our commune's official Liu. His father is the director of the county textile factory. The person who interviewed him was also the director of the textile factory. He has a strong background."
Unexpectedly, if you have any ideas, get out of here.
However, Gu Qing's expression did not change at all, and he asked, "Second Uncle, can you take responsibility for what you said?"
Jiang Yugui was confused by the question. Responsible? He just said something, why should he be responsible?
"Can you take responsibility?" Gu Qing asked again.
"Negative..." Jiang Yugui went over what he had just said. He couldn't think of anything wrong. He just removed the word "deputy" from the title of deputy factory director. What's wrong with that? Who said that the deputy factory director is not the factory director?
"Of course, I can take responsibility."
Gu Qing nodded slightly, "Uncle, you are talking about Liu Yuan, the deputy director of Wanyuan County Textile Factory, right?"
When Jiang Yugui heard that he knew the name, he thought he knew the other party. He tugged at his collar proudly and said with some pride: "Really, could it be that the textile factory has two deputy factory directors?"
"Uncle, you may not know that Liu Yuan has been arrested by the police on suspicion of corruption and embezzlement of public funds. His wife Wu Hong, his son Liu Yang, and even his sister-in-law and his nanny are now under investigation in the police station."
"So, uncle, I don't know what kind of background you mean when you say he has a strong background. Maybe you need to go to the police station and explain the matter clearly."
At that moment, Yu Yao clearly saw Jiang Yugui's expression crack. She sat aside obediently and watched the show. She had to say that Gu Qing was really handsome, as he was serious about his work and a little bit of a ruffian.
Noticing Yu Yao's gaze, Gu Qing quickly made eye contact with her, but quickly moved his eyes back to Jiang Yugui.
Jiang Yugui is now like an eggplant hit by frost, how is it possible?
He guessed that this man might have some ability, but who could have thought that he could bring down the Liu family?
"I... I may have remembered it wrongly. Xiao Gu, you must make it clear to the police station. Our family has nothing to do with the Liu family. He forced my wife to go on a blind date with Yao, and he also arrested my child. Xiao Gu, you must make them return my son Fubao."
The speed at which he changed his expression shocked everyone at the table. It was too shameless.
However, he pretended, and Gu Qing was no less than him, "Second uncle, as far as I know, your son was detained for theft. If he was wrongly accused, you can submit the evidence if you find it. Now, please explain the background of the criminal Liu Yuan first."
"Backstage, I remembered it wrongly. There was no backstage, no backstage..."
Seeing how scared he was, and that he was in front of his future mother-in-law, Gu Qing calmed down and said, "Uncle, you must think carefully when you go back. Don't misremember such a crucial thing, which is the relationship between me and Ah Yao. If my colleagues come, you will have been arrested."
Hearing this, Jiang Yugui's collar was soaked with sweat. He glanced at everyone present and finally couldn't help but stood up.
"Hey guys, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll excuse myself now. We can have dinner together next time." After saying that, he was about to leave.
But Yu Yao called out to him, "Uncle, eat before you leave. Otherwise, pack some to take back!"
When she said this, the whole family looked at her, and Jiang Limei even pulled her clothes.
"Why are you bothering him, kid?"
Yu Yao realized later that Mr. Gu was still looking at him, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Was his tone just now a little too gloating?
However, the other party didn't care at all. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Good things take time. Let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
Fortunately, it was summer and the food didn’t get cold easily, so everyone enjoyed the meal quite well.
Although there was an unpleasant episode, the meal was generally a very enjoyable one for both guests and guests.
After the meal, they chatted some more and the two of them finally decided on this matter.
The old man suggested that Yu Yao follow him into the city and get to know Gu Qing better. When the house is ready, he can come back to pick up Jiang Limei and her family. This will also allow Jiang Limei and the others to pack up properly.
After considering many things at first, Jiang Limei readily agreed now that it was decided. She also told Yu Yao to go back and talk to her elder brother and sister-in-law about it so as not to cause too much trouble to their family.
When she said this, Yu Yao suddenly remembered that this matter really needed to be discussed carefully. She should at least restore the relationship between the two families to normal before leaving. There was no need for conflict in the first place.
Otherwise, her mother would be too lonely with her younger brother in the county town.
"I understand, Mom, don't worry. I will go into the city with Gu Qing and the others first."
In fact, Yu Yao felt that there was no need to be so anxious, but Jiang Yugui's family was really disgusting.
The relationship between the two families for so many years was maintained entirely by Jiang Limei's imagination. She blamed all the faults on Cao Guifang. Although Yu Yao could understand this idea, she could not agree with it.
If Yu Yao said that her second uncle didn't know about what Cao Guifang had done in the village over the years, she would not believe it. After what happened just now, she was 100% sure.
It is better to end this kind of relationship as soon as possible.
Yu Yao was thinking about all these messy things along the way and didn't say much. Gu Qing was driving and the old man didn't say anything either. When Yu Yao wanted to speak later, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
She could only lean against the car window and stare out in a daze. Seeing the mountains outside the window, she couldn't help but think of the first time she met Gu Qing, as if there was a strong connection between them.
When Yu Yao thought of the scene at that time, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
She was so natural that she didn't notice that Gu Qing also raised the corners of his mouth after she smiled.
The road from Toucheng to the countryside was very bumpy these days, but fortunately there were few cars, so the few of us arrived at the county seat smoothly.
Gu Qing sent his grandfather back first before suggesting sending Yu Yao back to the steel factory's compound.
Yu Yao originally wanted to go by herself, but Gu Qing insisted on sending her off. Thinking that they were already engaged, she did not refuse. She said goodbye to her grandfather, and the two of them slowly walked towards the steel plant.
It was already afternoon, with only the last tinge of red left in the sunset in the sky. Unlike the scorching heat of that noon, the breeze, even with the heat, seemed to blow away the day's fatigue, giving people a peaceful feeling of quiet time.
"A Yao." Gu Qing no longer called him Comrade Yu Yao.
Yu Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Many people called her Ah Yao, and she didn't think it was very intimate. But because Gu Qing's voice was somewhat pleasant and he called her in a serious manner, Yu Yao couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
She acted nonchalant, "Hmm?"
"Was it a bit too much for me to say that about your second uncle today?"
Speaking of this, Yu Yao had a lot to say, "No, you know his face."
Yu Yao was not satisfied with just saying this, so he told Jiang Yugui about his guess that Jiang Yugui was the one who made the decisions in his second uncle's family.
In fact, there are many families like this. The men are patriarchal and care about their reputation. They have many thoughts in their minds, but they don't want to lose face in public, so they let the women in the family do things outside.
Anyway, in their opinion, women are just throwing around and taking advantage of others, but men are not allowed to do these things.
"Why? Shouldn't two people support each other? He let his wife take the lead, and then when she got into trouble, he tried to get away with it and win sympathy from others. How disgusting!"
Yu Yao was getting more and more excited when she heard Gu Qing chuckle, "I know. Don't worry, I will never let you take the lead outside. If anyone makes you feel wronged in the future, you don't need to tell me anything. I will definitely protect you."
Although such words are often difficult to realize, Yu Yao still felt very comfortable when she heard it. She smiled and said, "Then do you dare to write a letter of guarantee before marriage? We will agree on three rules before getting married."
Gu Qing was stunned. It wasn't that he thought her request was unreasonable, but he didn't know why she was so insecure about her marriage. Did he look unreliable?
"Forget it..." Yu Yao was just talking casually.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qing said, "Okay, don't even mention setting three rules in advance. As long as they make sense, you can make any house rules."
Yu Yao burst out laughing.
“It’s not impossible.”
If this can avoid a lot of trouble after marriage, Yu Yao can really consider it.
Gu Qing turned around and saw that she had a thoughtful smile on her lips. At that moment, he almost impulsively wanted to kiss the corner of her curved mouth, but he still remembered that they were on the street and he didn't dare to act impulsively even if there was no one around.
He coughed lightly and said, "You can see it so clearly, but Auntie doesn't seem to be very clear."
Hearing this, Yu Yao stopped smiling and frowned. She sighed and said, "I can't see it. She just has too deep feelings for my second uncle. They grew up together."
Gu Qing did not comment, "The day when friendship will wear out has long gone, now we can help Auntie."
"How can I help?"
