Chapter 588: Make the Decision
After this incident, I have grown a lot.
The old lady was somewhat relieved and said warmly, "I'll tell Jingyan later and ask him to arrange a suitable position for you."
Gu Jingyang responded, and then said, "Grandma, after the job is confirmed, can I move back to my original residence?"
The old lady gently stirred the tea leaves and said calmly, "I'm living here very well these days. Why do you suddenly want to go back?"
Gu Jingyang whispered, "I'm used to living there, and it's definitely more convenient to live there after work. My old house is too far away from the company."
The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "If you feel it's far away, ask Lao Qin to take you to and from get off work. I won't worry about you living alone there."
Gu Jingyang observed the old lady's face, and when he saw her gentle expression, he became a little bolder.
"Grandma, there is another reason why I want to go back to live. I want to bring my mother back to live with me. She had a cyst removed a while ago, but the recovery after the operation has not been good. The house there is small and the environment is bad, so she can't even sleep. Unfortunately, the wound healed very slowly. I was really worried and wanted to take her back and nurse her back to health.”
The old lady had no expression on her face and asked calmly, "Did your mother tell you?"
Gu Jingyang shook his head hurriedly, "She didn't even tell me about her surgery. I still found out about it from other people's mouths." As she said that, she couldn't help but blame Gu Jingyan, "No matter how much my brother blames her, she has such a big surgery." How could he ignore it?"
The old lady put down the tea cup and looked at Gu Jingyang, "Do you think your brother went too far by driving her out of the Gu family?"
Gu Jingyang hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously, "After all, she has been kind to us. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard these years. Haven't you always taught us that filial piety comes first?"
The old lady glanced at her and said, "I also taught you that foolish filial piety is not filial piety, why didn't you remember it?"
Gu Jingyang was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
"You think your brother is cruel, haven't you ever thought about why?"
Gu Jingyang blurted out, "It wasn't for Qiao Ruoxing who was fanning the flames. The conflict between my brother and my mother started when she got married. How could my brother treat my mother like this before he got married?"
"Confused!"
The old lady slapped her hand on the small table, causing the tea cup on it to shake.
Gu Jingyang was so scared that he kept silent.
The old lady said solemnly, "Is your brother a fool? Is he a person who doesn't distinguish between wrong and wrong if someone just says a few words?
You ask yourself, in the years since Ruoxing was married, has she ever stopped your brother from mistreating your mother materially? Or emotionally distant from your mother? During the holidays, when she and your brother visit relatives, no matter what they give me, are they all gifts and courtesy given to your mother equally?
Ruoxing did everything a daughter-in-law can do, but what did your mother do?
It was such a big deal for them to get married, but she, the mother-in-law, didn't get up until eight o'clock on her son's wedding day. She didn't worry about the wedding preparations at all, and your second aunt was more proactive than her! "
Gu Jingyang was a little dissatisfied, and she whispered, "Second Aunt is certainly positive. My brother married a woman who will not help his career. Second Uncle has suddenly lost a lot of competitive pressure. Shouldn't Second Aunt be happy?"
The old lady laughed angrily, "According to what you said, I shouldn't have agreed to let your mother in in the first place. The Zhong family is nothing! What qualifications does the daughter of the Zhong family have to enter the door of my Gu family?"
Gu Jingyang was choked and speechless.
The old lady took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Not to mention whether what Ruoxing did after she got married is worthy of being an elder, but what did she do before your brother got married?"
"When Jingyan first came to the company, it was so difficult. She refused to help him and took away the money he used to recharge his account, which almost made him lose his support. After your brother stabilized his position in the company, she secretly borrowed money from him. You secretly bring business to the Zhong family in your brother’s name. How good is the Zhong family’s production chain? Something goes wrong every now and then. Isn’t it your brother’s fault?”
"You said it's not easy to support you. She is a widowed woman who has lived in the Gu family for almost twenty years. Has the Gu family ever treated her badly? It's true that she raised you, but the money she raised for you came from the money she got from the Zhong family. Did you get it? Do you really think she didn’t remarry after losing her husband at a young age just to take care of you? She couldn’t bear the halo given to her by the Gu family!”
Gu Jingyang naturally did not accept the old lady's evaluation of Zhong Meilan. The old lady knew it by looking at her expression.
After more than twenty years of upbringing, Gu Jingyang's feelings for Zhong Meilan have already been deeply rooted in her bones. Naturally, she will not believe the old lady's words, but she just does not dare to refute it.
The old lady took a deep breath and spoke again, "You have been protected and raised by her since you were a child. Even if she did not raise you well, as you said, hard work is always there. It is understandable that you want to be filial to her. But she To your brother, there is no kindness other than showing kindness. Even if you show kindness, your brother has paid it off over the years, so he can’t do anything too much. Neither you nor Zhong Meilan has the right to accuse him. "
"If you are worried about her, you can go see her, or you can move back in. But if you want to take her back, unless your brother is willing, if you make the decision privately, then you can move out with her."
The old lady's tone of voice was not serious, but every word was ringing.
Gu Jingyang knew as soon as he heard that it was impossible to bring Zhong Meilan back.
What else did she want to say, but the old lady waved her hand and said, "I'm tired. Let's rest for a while. If you want to move back, you should pack up what you need to pack."
Gu Jingyang closed his mouth.
Zhong Meilan heard the old lady's words from Gu Jingyang, and she was so angry that she threw the things on the table.
Gu Jingyang pursed his lips and whispered, "Mom, why don't you ask my brother for help? Only he can make the decision on this matter."
Zhong Meilan said hatefully, "Your brother has been bewitched by the vixen Qiao Ruoxing, how could he listen to me?"
Gu Jingyang didn't say anything.
She didn't want to mention Qiao Ruoxing either, because this name would remind her of the terrible experience of being detained during those days.
"How are you and Mingxuan doing lately?"
Gu Jingyang whispered, "Mingxuan has a girlfriend."
"What?" Zhong Meilan frowned, "Who?"
"I don't know, I saw him taking his girlfriend to someone else's wedding in the circle of friends."
Zhong Meilan said angrily, "Why don't you take the initiative and wait for him to be snatched away by someone else?"
"Mom, they have already confirmed the relationship, will I be hated by being the third party?"
"As long as you are not married, everything is not a foregone conclusion. You have to be more active to fight for it. If I was like you and didn't make progress back then, where would you and your brother be?
You have to take the initiative and make more appointments with Mingxuan. You have to find opportunities for yourself, okay? If possible, make an appointment with that woman. It would be best if you can solve it with money. If you can't solve it with money, tell mom and mom will help you solve it."
