Chapter 182: Excessive

Gu Jingyang was startled.

She had never seen Zhong Meilan get so angry. She was stunned for a long time before she stammered, "I, I don't, I just feel that my second uncle is quite good to us."

Zhong Meilan also felt that she had overreacted. She took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, "There is no reason in this world, okay? Use your brain for everything."

Gu Jingyang thought to herself that her second uncle was good to her, so what could she get from her? Mom always regarded her second uncle's family as enemies.

But she naturally didn't dare to say this. Zhong Meilan was very hostile to her second uncle's family, not only to Song Qingyun, but also to Gu Qinghai.

But in her heart, her second uncle was actually not bad to their family. When she was a child, every time her second uncle came back from a business trip, she and her brother would also have everything Gu Jingran had, and even the New Year's money given to her was more generous than that of her two brothers.

She lost her father when she was young, and Gu Qinghai largely filled the role of father in her heart. She instinctively wanted to get closer to him, but Zhong Meilan was very disgusted by this.

She didn't dare to talk back, so she could only respond obediently, "I know, Mom."

When the atmosphere in the car calmed down a bit, Zhong Meilan said, "Go to your brother's place later and bring those medicines to Qiao Ruoxing."

Gu Jingyang frowned, "If I don't go, it's better if she can't get pregnant. Now grandma loves her enough. If she gets pregnant with her eldest brother's child, grandma won't be able to support her? It's better if she doesn't get pregnant for the rest of her life!"

"Go if you are told. Do you still want me to mention your marriage to Mingxuan to your grandma?"

Gu Jingyang's eyes lit up, "Have you told grandma?"

"Just mentioned, the old lady's meaning is very clear. As long as the Mo family is willing, she has no objection."

"Aunt Mo must be fond of me. She has loved me since I was a child." Gu Jingyang is quite confident in this point. She has liked Mo Mingxuan for many years and has often favored Mrs. Mo. With the bonus of the friendship between the two families, no one Mo Mingxuan is more worthy of her than her.

"Don't be too happy too early. Mingxuan's meaning is still very important. He was seriously ill before, and his family members were more accommodating to him. If he doesn't want to, no one can force him to do this."

Gu Jingyang didn't take it seriously.

Mo Mingxuan is a filial son. Everyone in the celebrity circle doesn't know that as long as the Mo family elders agree, isn't her marriage to Mo Mingxuan a certainty?

Zhong Meilan knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression when she gave birth to a child.

She said calmly, "You should put more thought into Mingxuan and let him take the initiative so that you won't be wronged when you marry him in the future."

Gu Jingyang teased, "Mom, you are quite experienced. Is this how you chased my dad back then?"

Zhong Meilan paused, pursed her lips and said, "Don't talk about whether you have it or not. Remember to send the medicine."

Gu Jingyang curled his lips and said, "I know."

In the Gu family's second room, Song Qingyun started complaining about today's incident after getting in the car.

From Qiao Ruoxing to Zhong Meilan, thinking of Zhong Meilan's expression after the old lady chose Qiao Ruoxing, she even couldn't help laughing.

"She probably never expected to lose at the hands of her daughter-in-law. I heard that at the last jewelry show, she fell in love with a bracelet, but the old lady asked Qiao Ruoxing to smoke it. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise it would have been really difficult. Take a good look at her expression at that time.”

Gu Qinghai frowned and glanced at her, "That's almost enough. In front of the children, he looks a bit like an elder."

Song Qingyun snorted and said to the driver, "Old Liu, stop at the intersection ahead. I want to get off."

Gu Jingran asked, "Mom, aren't you going home?"

Song Qingyun rubbed Gu Jingran's head, "I made an appointment with Mrs. Chen for a facial. I'll go back later in the evening."

"Isn't Mrs. Chen very close to my eldest aunt? Why do you have contact with her?"

"If she hadn't had a good relationship with my boss, I wouldn't have bothered to go to her appointment."

After Song Qingyun got out of the car, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little quiet.

Gu Qinghai sat upright, half-closing his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, he asked, "How are you and Vice Mayor Liu's daughter doing lately?"

His voice was like a bell, and he was extremely majestic. Although his face had a groove and his temples were gray, his eyes were like a torch, and he could still see the grace of his youth.

In front of him, Gu Jingran sat upright unconsciously.

"That kind of woman really doesn't have much of a challenge. She just hooks her finger and she takes the bait. But I don't plan to continue. Her father was involved in an old case this year and will retire soon."

Without the possibility of promotion, it means that the value of use is lost, and the marriage will naturally fall through.

Gu Qinghai frowned, "Is the news reliable?"

"His daughter told me this personally. You can't lie. It was a waste of half a year of my time."

Gu Qinghai frowned and said nothing.

Gu Jingyan's current strength in Jiang Sheng should not be underestimated. It was already difficult for him to deal with him, so he had to focus on Gu Jingran's marriage.

Having a strong in-laws can add a lot of chips for him to win.

If Deputy City Liu withdraws, then this marriage will indeed be unnecessary.

It's just that it's not that easy to find another one. Although there are many famous ladies in Jiangcheng, there are not many who are from real aristocratic families and have strong financial resources.

"Dad, I heard that Song Wanqian is back. His little daughter got sick when she attended a charity party. She is recovering at home recently. Mom and Song Wanqian are still related. Should we go to visit?"

Gu Qinghai raised his eyes, "Song Jiayu is not Song Wanqian's biological daughter."

Gu Jingran chuckled, "He moved most of his wealth overseas to treat Song Jiayu. Is it that important whether he is his biological son?"

Gu Qinghai was silent for a long time before speaking, "Let's talk about this later. Now do your job well and don't let your grandmother down again."

Gu Jingran suppressed his expression and replied in a low voice, "I know."

————

The next day, Gu Jingyang took the Chinese medicine given by Zhong Meilan to Gu Jingyan.

She deliberately chose a time when Gu Jingyan was not there.

As soon as she entered the door, she found an old man in the yard, wearing a loose white vest and a straw hat, digging the soil in the garden with a small hoe.

Gu Jingyang was startled, and when he came to his senses, he cursed, "Where did the thief come from? What are you stealing here?"

The great grandfather lifted the brim of his hat, glanced at Gu Jingyang, and frowned, "You are so rude, who do you call a thief?"

"You are a stinky beggar who is rude, sneaking around. What do you have in your hand? What are you digging in my yard?"

She kept calling him "stealing", which made the great grandfather a little angry, "This is my great-granddaughter's home. I'm planting something in the field. Who are you to come to someone else's house and yell?"

"Great-granddaughter..." Gu Jingyang reacted, "Are you a member of the Qiao family?"
