Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Why Did He Suddenly Start Caring About His Daughter? Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Why Did He Suddenly Start Caring About His Daughter? “Dad, will there be any problems with following the military?”
“Oh, no, no problems at all,” Su Qiang said.
Then he asked, “When will you co back next ti?”
“I don’t know yet; I haven’t left. I have to wait for my husband to get leave.”
“Make sure to call after you get there.”
“Okay.”
There wasn’t much conversation after that.
Su ixi felt that if there wasn’t anything special, Su Qiang wouldn’t take the initiative to contact her again.
…
On the day Su ixi and Gu Wei returned to the military base, Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuan both ca to the airport to see them off.
It was probably because they had gone through so things together; Su ixi felt that Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuan had beco real family to her, even closer than her own parents.
But because they were so familiar, Su ixi always felt that Zhou Yuan was a bit off from her usual self.
Zhou Yuan was a simple girl who laughed when she was happy and cried when she was sad. However, today while she was laughing, Su ixi felt she wasn’t really happy, and when it was ti to cry upon parting, she cried too excessively.
It was as if she had sothing on her mind, using the parting as an excuse to cry, so the crying was a bit overdone.
Was it because of the pregnancy? Or did she truly have sothing pressing on her mind?
After boarding the plane, Su ixi finally sent a ssage asking Zhou Yuan: Yuanyuan, why were you crying so sadly just now?
Zhou Yuan: I just can’t bear to part with you.
Su ixi: Tell the truth!
It took a while before Zhou Yuan replied: Gu Cheng’s ex-girlfriend has returned to the country.
Su ixi couldn’t help but ask: Did she approach Gu Cheng?
Zhou Yuan: She did, and Gu Cheng even arranged a job and housing for her.
Su ixi: Don’t overthink it; Gu Cheng is quite sentintal. Maybe he is just being nostalgic. Have you told him about your pregnancy yet?
Zhou Yuan: Not yet.
Su ixi: Fool, is your pregnancy showing?
Zhou Yuan: Maybe Gu Cheng wants to get back with his ex-girlfriend? If they get together, then I’ll have to be a single mother. There’s no need for him to know about this child.
Su ixi: That won’t happen. You have to believe in Gu Cheng; he’s a responsible man.
Zhou Yuan: Sister Su, I won’t talk to you anymore; I’m going to have dinner at my parent’s house in a bit.
Su ixi: Okay, then take care of yourself.
…
The plane had not taken off yet when Gu Wei wrapped his arms around her. “Why are you chatting non-stop? Can’t you even see beside you?”
He was actually getting jealous.
Su ixi’s tone was a bit harsh, “All you n are pigs!”
“What did I do? I haven’t done anything to upset you, right?” Gu Wei looked innocently.
“It’s not you, it’s your brother.”
“What about my brother?”
“His first love is back in the country, and he’s busying himself arranging a job for her, worrying about things he shouldn’t.”
“Sister Li Zhen?” Gu Wei obviously knew Li Zhen.
“You know her?”
Gu Wei said, “Sister Li Zhen used to live at our place for a long while, my mother treated her like a goddaughter, like a half-sister to . Later, she got led astray by others, treated us as enemies, even abandoned my brother. My brother was hurt for a long ti and he’s been scared to date ever since.”
Su ixi thought to herself: Yet another goddaughter, this mother-in-law sure has a lot of them!
“Do you think your brother should help her?”
After giving it so thought, Gu Wei said, “If she’s in a tough spot, it’s okay to help. Sister Li Zhen isn’t just his ex-girlfriend; she’s also half a family mber, since she grew up with us, like a relative. Shouldn’t we help relatives when they’re in trouble?”
Right after he finished his words, Su ixi ignored him, asking a flight attendant for a blanket and covering her upper body with it, even her head.
Gu Wei tried to lift her blanket off. “What’s the matter? Did I… say sothing wrong?”
Pulling the blanket down, she was still irritable. “How could you be wrong? You’re absolutely right.”
“Then why are you ignoring ?” Gu Wei asked.
She felt like speaking now.
Gu Wei could only carefully analyze why she was upset.
Firstly, it was after chatting with Zhou Yuan that she brought up Li Zhen. So, the issue must be related to Zhou Yuan.
Was Zhou Yuan worried that Li Zhen’s return could threaten her position?
Worried that their brother might rekindle old feelings for Li Zhen, she discussed it with Su ixi.
The two had beco as close as sisters lately, and if one felt aggrieved, the other would surely share the outrage.
Gu Wei patted his head; that was it!
How could he not have seen it clearly just now?
Once the plane took off and stabilized, Gu Wei said to Su ixi: “Are you worried about my brother rekindling old feelings for Sister Li Zhen? Don’t worry, you can trust my brother; he knows his boundaries.”
Su ixi had actually almost forgotten about it.
Just after the plane started climbing, she was thinking about what the in-flight al would be?
Yet, Gu Wei brought it up again.
Had he been thinking about this the whole ti? Was he taking care of her feelings?
With this thought, she found him incredibly endearing again.
She said, “These matters of the heart, it’s not our place to ddle. All we can do is remind. When you have ti, remind your brother not to get too close to her, Yuanyuan is very sensitive and simple, she can’t handle the stress.”
Gu Wei truly listened to Su ixi. He composed a WeChat ssage on his phone essentially advising Gu Cheng to keep a distance.
He even showed it to Su ixi, who thought it was good, and agreed to send it after landing.
…
Guang City.
These last few days, Su Qiang’s eyelids had been twitching non-stop.
With trouble on his mind, he couldn’t focus on his work at all.
After much thought, he decided to make a phone call to Fang Xin.
However, Fang Xin’s number was no longer in use.
After more effort and asking around, he finally obtained Fang Xin’s WeChat.
He initiated a voice call.
No one answered.
From morning until noon, he finally got soone to pick up.
It was Fang Xin: “Are you crazy? Why did you call so much this morning? If you had called like this when we were together, would we have co to a divorce?”
Su Qiang said, “Where are you? Have you been in contact with Ah Xi recently?”
“I’m in Malaysia.”
“Were you sold there?” Su Qiang thought that with Fang Xin’s capabilities, it was impossible for her to go abroad unless she was sold or deceived.
“It’s you who got sold; I was sent here by Ah Xi’s mother-in-law. She married a wealthy husband, and they think we’re poor relatives, so they don’t let us visit, in case we affect her.”
“Isn’t she married to a military man? What wealthy husband?”
“Military man? I only know that her in-laws are extrely wealthy; is her husband also a military man?”
Su Qiang couldn’t help but chide her: “Why didn’t you inquire more while in Feng City? She’s our daughter, after all!”
“Why are you blaming ? Did you make inquiries? She is your daughter. Have you cared for her? Besides, married into such a wealthy family, do they need poor relatives like us to care?”
Su Qiang sighed: “I’m not trying to argue with you; I’m worried… you forget, back then…”
