After the others left, the Gu family members were at a loss for what to do.
I originally planned to give Gu Rong a birthday celebration and surprise her a little.
Gu Qiang and Bai Rou's sudden arrival and their antics ruined their surprise.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Gu Rong pulled Cao Baobao to sit in their previous seats.
He pulled Cao Baobao's hand and pressed it to his eyes: "Alright, those blind fools are gone, let's continue what we were doing."
Seeing Gu Rong's calm demeanor, everyone relaxed, exchanged smiles, and went to Gu Xing's room to retrieve the items they had prepared in advance.
When everyone came out, Cao Baobao said happily, "Xiao Rong, you close your eyes first. You're not allowed to open them until I tell you to."
"Mmm," Gu Rong obediently closed her eyes.
Cao Baobao slowly loosened her grip, tilting her head to look at Gu Rong to make sure her eyes were closed before finally letting go completely.
He took the things from Pu Tao's hands and glanced at everyone.
After making sure everyone was ready, Cao Baobao smiled and said, "Xiao Rong, open your eyes."
The moment Gu Rong opened her eyes, everyone said in unison, "Happy birthday, Xiao Rong."
As the sound rang out, a group of people carrying various items appeared before Gu Rong.
She had been suspicious ever since she learned that Chu Jianshu had taken leave at noon. Given their blatant actions in the afternoon, it was hard not to suspect this.
Looking back, she realized she hadn't celebrated her birthday in over a decade and had no expectations for it.
But looking at the crowd who cared about her and whose eyes were now only on her, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Gu Rong smiled and said, "Thank you everyone. This is the happiest birthday I've had in years." In fact, it's also the only birthday I've ever had in all these years.
Seeing that she was happy, everyone gave her their gifts.
Cao Baobao gave her a light blue silk scarf, which had a very spring-like feel to it.
Pu Tao gave her a hairband, which was the same color as the scarf Cao Baobao gave her, so they must be a set.
Li Chengyang is a foodie, and knowing that Gu Rong also loves meat, he gave her two bags of dried meat.
With the fabric they had given her, they decided to make her a dress. Han Xinyi and Sun Yihua made two dresses for Gu Rong together: one military green and one pink floral.
It matches perfectly with the little leather shoes Gu Xing gave me, making a complete set.
Han Xinyun, on the other hand, sent Gu Rong a bouquet of flowers as she wished.
Chu Jianshu was the last one, handing a small box to Gu Rong.
Looking at the contents, Gu Rong wanted to return them, but with everyone around, she decided to leave them behind.
After putting the items away, Gu Rong looked at everyone happily: "Thank you everyone, I like everything very much."
This is the first time we've celebrated a birthday together, so I'll accept the gifts. But don't spend so much money in the future.
"Don't worry, you won't be able to get it next time you want it," Gu Xing replied, knowing that she was worried about everyone spending money.
When others heard this, they all echoed it.
As darkness fell, everyone went home.
Chu Jianshu and his two companions walked toward the educated youth compound, passing by Bai Rou and Gu Jiazhen along the way.
After exchanging a few words with the others, Bai Rou glanced at the man following behind her.
After looking away, he leaned close to Gu Jiazhen's ear and whispered, "Do you know what relationship those people had with Gu Rong?"
Gu Jiazhen didn't understand why Bai Rou suddenly whispered, but she also whispered, "She's an educated youth who went to the countryside. She's quite close to Gu Rong. The one in the middle likes Gu Rong."
Hearing Gu Jiazhen's words, Bai Rou realized that this was the one who spoke up for Gu Rong later.
Thinking about what the other person had said, Bai Rou looked at her daughter again: "This person is good-looking. Tell your mother if you like him."
"Mom, what are you saying? The other person likes Gu Rong, I don't like him at all." It's impossible for me to say I don't like him.
When the other party arrived, she heard that they were all brought by military vehicles, and their status and position were not low.
At the time, she also thought that if she could be with him, she wouldn't have to suffer in the countryside.
Chu Jianshu had been pestering Gu Rong ever since he arrived, and even when Han Yanru got close to him, it caused a scene that went to the captain.
She dared not make any rash moves and could only turn her attention to other people.
But with Mingzhu ahead of her, how could she possibly be interested in anyone else?
Seeing her daughter's blushing face, Bai Rou knew exactly what she was thinking.
That man was of high status. If they could seduce his daughter, they might be able to turn their lives around and wouldn't be so controlled like they are now.
Moreover, since the daughter's body has already been defiled, it wouldn't be a loss if she could find someone in the countryside.
Bai Rou tapped her disappointing daughter's forehead and glared at her: "You're just as good-looking as Bai Rou, and you're also quite limp."
Mom believes that as long as you humble yourself and pursue him, that Chu Jianshu will fall head over heels for you.
Even if the other person doesn't like you, now that your mother is here, how could she not help you? Then... this matter will be settled.
“But…” Thinking about her body, Gu Jiazhen couldn’t help but worry, “If the other party finds out, they will definitely make a scene.”
Bai Rou felt that these were all external things: "So what if we know? By then, the damage will have already happened, and the other party can only take responsibility. Otherwise, we'll sue them."
If you manage to conceive a boy, even if he doesn't like you, his family will still dote on you.
As if brainwashed, Gu Jiazhen found Bai Rou's words to be very reasonable.
Once they've had sex, would the other person rather die than marry her? "Mom, then I'll listen to you, but what about Gu Rong?"
Thinking of Gu Rong, Bai Rou recalled that night, and a murderous glint appeared in her eyes: "She only has one mouth. Our whole family is here. Do you think the villagers will believe her?"
Starting tomorrow, you should go find Chu Jianshu and try to win him over within half a month. If he refuses to listen to reason, your mother will naturally help you.
"Yes, I'll listen to Mom," Gu Jiazhen said, finally feeling relieved as she held Bai Rou's arm.
When she arrived in the countryside, she couldn't contact her parents, and Gu Rong and Gu Xing didn't care about family ties and didn't help her at all.
There was a scoundrel in the village who kept harassing her, and sometimes he would even grope her when she wasn't looking.
She sometimes tried to avoid him, but he kept bothering her, which scared her so much that she never dared to go out alone again.
Now that her parents are here, if the other party dares to come up again, she'll have someone to back her up.
Even though the two were speaking softly, Lin Qi, who was following behind them, had received special training and could hear everything they said clearly.
Before the higher-ups arrested the people, they specifically investigated the Gu family's affairs, and they were all aware of what happened that night.
Moreover... if it were someone else, and they did this little trick more discreetly, it might have worked.
Lin Qi turned his head and his gaze fell on Chu Jianshu.
If the two people in front of them wanted to outsmart this person, they would be courting death.
but.......
When the investigation began, Chu Jianshu seemed to have vanished suddenly, and no one knew where he had gone.
Oh, so you changed your name. No wonder...
Now that he's in their hands, he can only blame his bad luck.
