Seeing that Gu Ping'an's expression had changed, she continued to ridicule him rudely:
"Why did you reveal your true colors as soon as he left? The speed at which you change your expression is truly astonishing. Hanzhou has witnessed your true self in private more than once. The friendship between you and him has long been ruined. How come you don't have any self-awareness at all?"
Gu Pingan knew that what Qin Ying said was correct, but she was unwilling to give in. She took a deep breath and spoke in a soothing tone, but she was hiding a needle in her cotton wool:
"Qin Ying, don't be so confident. There's still a long way to go. Who can predict the future? Until the last moment, it's still uncertain who will have the last laugh."
After she said this, she turned and left.
Qin Ying watched her walk out of the house, thinking about what she had just said.
The last laugh?
Are you so sure?
She looked at Fu Hanzhou's study upstairs. He seemed quite cold to Gu Ping'an just now.
Are you really indifferent or are you unable to face it and choose to escape?
Just now she wanted to tell him everything about her original self's experiences at home from childhood to adulthood, but she was interrupted by Gu Ping'an just as she started.
Fu Hanzhou was hiding in the study, and she no longer had the mood to continue chatting with him.
We’ll talk about it when there’s a chance!
*
Ever since Chen Shuhua told her sister the news that Fu Qixun was going to hold a celebration banquet for Qin Ying.
The atmosphere in their home was somewhat depressing.
Chen Shuyun has always been arrogant and conceited, but in front of Wei Zhongchao, she is as docile as a toothless tiger.
With obvious anxiety on her face, she paced back and forth, her hands tightly clasped in front of her, her brows deeply furrowed.
Wei Zhongchao and Wei Zhuolan were both sitting on the sofa, neither of them speaking.
Chen Shuyun couldn't hold back. After thinking for a while, she still felt something was wrong. Her voice was filled with worry.
"Old Wei, you can't go. The Fu family didn't invite us. And if you go rashly, I'm afraid they'll hold a grudge against you and make things difficult for you. I'm afraid they'll say some harsh words to you."
Wei Zhongchao drank a sip of tea slowly, slowly covered the cup, and placed it steadily on the coffee table with a "click".
He raised his head and glanced at Wei Zhuolan with a serious expression and an unquestionable tone:
"My opinion is that not only am I going, but Zhuo Lan is going too."
"Can……"
Chen Shuyun looked at him in confusion, really not understanding his decision.
But she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of him.
"This is a perfect opportunity to ease relations. We must strike while the iron is hot. Over time, misunderstandings will only intensify. Once relations cool, it will be extremely difficult to repair them. Even if there is another opportunity in the future, I am afraid it will be too late to turn things around.
I went, not because I was afraid of him, but because of my attitude. Going later would be redundant. If we ignore him now, it will only make us look guilty. How can we hold our heads up high in the future? Going openly and showing our attitude is the only way to resolve the conflict and pave the way for the future."
Chen Shuyun understood a little, but still had some concerns:
"If we show up uninvited, won't it seem like we're being too humble?"
Wei Zhongchao looked confident, as if he was planning something:
"I'll call Fu Qixun first and feel out his reaction. Although this incident has a negative impact, it's not a big deal. Fu Qixun won't be so stingy. He'll give me this face. Then... Zhuo Lan will come with me."
"no!"
Chen Shuyun refused without thinking.
"Old Wei, it's so embarrassing for you to let Zhuo Lan go!"
"Embarrassed? What's embarrassing about that? If he can't even handle such a small thing like nothing happened, this kid is really inexperienced."
Wei Zhongchao frowned, a little surprised by Chen Shuyun's reaction.
"I understand what you mean, but you have to know that they won't make things difficult for you, but they will make things difficult for Zhuo Lan!"
Chen Shuyun didn't dare tell him that she didn't want Wei Zhuolan to go not only because of embarrassment, but also because of his feelings for Qin Ying. She didn't want to bother him with such a trivial matter at this time.
Wei Zhongchao's expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice:
"Who dares? No one has the guts except Fu Hanzhou!"
Chen Shuyun stopped talking. It was indeed true.
Wei Zhuolan, who had been silent beside him, said:
"Dad, Mom, stop studying it. I'll go. It's not that serious."
"Fu Hanzhou is the head of a regiment and a military man. He's not so petty. If you can't handle this little storm, it means you can only be a teacher. Just think of it as going out to see the world."
Wei Zhongchao's words were extremely impolite, but Wei Zhuolan felt a little uneasy when he heard them.
What's wrong with being a teacher?
I was thinking about it when I heard Chen Shuyun say:
"Old Wei, what you said reminds me that Zhuo Lan has been a teacher for several years. It's time to step back."
Wei Zhongchao pondered for a moment and nodded slowly:
"Well, it's time!"
Wei Zhuolan stood up suddenly and looked at Wei Zhongchao and Chen Shuyun with an anxious look:
"Dad, Mom, I love being a teacher! Don't meddle in my affairs."
Chen Shuyun glared at him fiercely. Want to be a teacher? Did he really think she didn't know what he was thinking?
Her face fell, and her tone was tough:
"Everything is so dependent on you. What future do you have as a teacher? We are doing this for your own good. What do you know?"
"If there's no future, why are so many people becoming teachers? And how can teachers be respected? Mom, just because you think it's good doesn't mean it's good!"
"Is it because your job is too comfortable that you've lost your fighting spirit? No matter how glorious it is to be a teacher, as long as someone else does it, it won't make a difference!"
"Mom! I'm not a kid anymore, can you please stop interfering in everything?"
"Look at this child..."
Chen Shuyun was so angry that her face was covered with serious clouds. Wei Zhuolan had been a teacher for so many years, but she never thought he liked her that much before.
Ever since the rumor started, his attitude has been very tough, and this is not the first time they have had such an argument.
This time, he actually argued with her in front of Wei Zhongchao.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, her chest heaving violently. This child looked mild-tempered, but he was actually very opinionated.
When he graduated, we didn't want him to become a teacher, but he insisted on doing so. We thought it would be ok to let him be a teacher for a few years to satisfy his taste, and then transfer him back sooner or later.
Moreover, this can also be considered a kind of qualification.
Unexpectedly, he is now becoming more and more opinionated, and she will never allow it!
Wei Zhongchao patted her hands:
"Just be patient, he'll understand!"
Chen Shuyun stopped talking. She couldn't handle this matter, but Wei Zhongchao would have a way. He just had to transfer him back by force without having to discuss it with him.
Wei Zhuolan felt a little depressed. Neither of his parents respected his intentions. Telling them this was simply ineffective communication. He didn't linger any longer and went straight back to his room.
