Gu Junming nodded. His deploynt order ca through, so he couldn’t attend Han Dong’s wedding. Fortunately, Han Dong said that once they reunite in the South, he would invite them to dinner separately. Who would have thought everything was ready, and then such a thing would happen.
Bai Chuan is soone Gu Junming has always disliked, but during their last eting, seeing his old and incompetent self, Gu Junming felt much relieved. The past is after all in the past; the once-arrogant person is now just a weak old man. There’s no need to hold grudges.
When he arrived ho, he opened the door and laughed; it was the sll of eggs again.
Sun Chan was busy in the kitchen. With nothing else to do, she enjoys studying culinary arts, recently becoming fascinated by Japanese omurice, which Yang Hongying taught her.
Yang Hongying said: "Once I visited my cousin and saw the omurice Qian Xiaoshuang made for him. The colors were beautiful, it seed simple, and it tasted good. So, I learned how to make it, but while it looks easy, making it is difficult. It’s really troubleso, and I’m still not good at it."
Sun Chan followed along and learned. Recently, she’s been researching it, but every attempt turns out disastrous.
Just now she ruined another olet. Gu Junming said, "Aren’t you tired of eating eggs all the ti?"
Sun Chan turned around and apologized with a smile to Gu Junming, "I’ll eat this. I’ll stir-fry sothing else for you."
"It’s fine." Gu Junming held her hand, "I want to talk to you about sothing."
"Alright, tell ." She continued to flip the pan.
"Bai Chuan has died."
Sun Chan was montarily stunned, then nodded, "Oh, so Bai Fanglan should be coming back then?"
Gu Junming thought for a mont, "I think she should have already returned." Although Bai Fanglan hasn’t contacted anyone, the funeral should have been handled by soone, and aside from Bai Fanglan, no one else would have done it. Besides, Wang Guihua also ntioned seeing Bai Fanglan. She’s improved a lot now that she’s not taking that dicine. Wang Guihua has cald down emotionally and moved out from Gu Juntao’s place, but hasn’t reconciled with Gu Zishan, instead moving to a small house.
She’s regained her cool deanor; no matter how much she internally wishes for reconciliation with Gu Zishan, without action from him, she will not show any response.
Yang Hongying naturally was ecstatic, finally being able to return ho and be with her husband again. Gu Juntao was even happier, joyfully like a monkey.
Speaking of this, Sun Chan laughed and said, "Gu Juntao and Yang Hongying have it tough, just like the cowherd and the weaver girl."
"Hmph! Isn’t it because Gu Juntao is confused? Tornted by his own mother into such a state. Yet he doesn’t dare to show dissatisfaction. I don’t even know what he wants!"
Sun Chan chuckled, tidying up the kitchen: "It’s a family, what can we do? Actually, Wang Guihua’s issues aren’t a big deal. We should be careful of Bai Fanglan. That woman has a strong sense of vengeance. She’s caused trouble several tis before. If she really wants to harm us, it’s not impossible."
Gu Junming agreed. Those hateful people around him seem to be dwindling one by one, but just as he was taking a breath, another one pops out, leaving him helpless!
"Bai Fanglan has been always causing trouble for us, it’s simply unreasonable. Just because I don’t like her, is it a cri not to like soone? I stated this clearly from the beginning."
"She just needs a target for her hatred. Without hating you, she probably wouldn’t survive."
Gu Junming closed his eyes; Sun Chan’s words made sense.
Sun Chan said, "But I firmly believe, no matter what happens, you will be with , helping , protecting . Let’s eat, I promise the omurice tomorrow will finally be presentable!"
Gu Junming smiled and nodded, "Alright." No matter what happens, as long as the couple is together, there won’t be any issue.
Just as they were about to eat, soone knocked on the door. They exchanged a glance, wondering if it was Bai Fanglan.
It wasn’t her; it was Mrs. Liu from upstairs. After Liu Gang died, the room above was emptied. Mrs. Liu stayed there waiting for the final results, and now it’s clear, the murderer is Ai i’s lover!
She was furious, cursing all the ti, calling that woman a ho-wrecker. Yet, without Ai i nearby, she hadn’t the ans to avenge herself. Now that the truth is out, the woman has to return.
The army compensated so money alongside humanitarian aid and promised Mrs. Liu to recruit her other son, finally allowing her to return ho content.
Why did she co to them now?
Mrs. Liu seed embarrassed because she hadn’t shown a pleasant face previously nor had any contact. Thinking back, they hadn’t wronged her son; rather, Liu Gang had wronged them more!
"I ca to apologize. My son was once blinded by ambition, aiming to climb up by pulling you down. As a mother, it was my fault for instilling this into him. Please forgive , I’m sorry..." she said, deeply bowing.
Sun Chan quickly supported her: "No, don’t be like this, we’re not blaming you."
"I’m leaving. When I cleaned up my son’s things, I found a notebook. I don’t read, but my son once said that it contained matters he found inadvertently linking to you. At the ti, I wondered where it ca from. He didn’t let interfere, only stated these could make you give up on the promotion contention."
She handed the notebook to Gu Junming: "I haven’t read it and don’t understand it, nor have I shown it to anyone else. I’m thinking, by giving this to you, perhaps you can forgive my son. I’m leaving." She said and walked out with her bag.
Sun Chan quickly escorted her out, watching her board the bus back to the village.
Gu Junming already took the notebook inside with a complex feeling. Liu Gang was indeed a calculating person. He ca up with such a thod! Wanting to search for my weaknesses?
Yet, Gu Junming believed he hadn’t done anything inappropriate. He wasn’t involved in economic affairs nor could use his power for personal gain. What leverage could there be? Opening the first page, it read: Liu Weihong is Gu Junming’s mother.
Gu Junming felt a jolt in his heart; he’s investigating my ancestry! What is he planning? He continued to read.
The content was very clear about the grudges of the past; presumably overheard from soone. Back then, several factions were involved in the movents, aiming for self-preservation and advancent, accusing and sabotaging each other. Liu Weihong’s father was brought down by these cooperative efforts. Bai Chuan was among the beneficiaries along with Fang Guanghui’s father and grandfather.
However, the one who executed the cruelest deeds is Wang Guihua’s father. After ousting Liu Weihong’s father, he was directly promoted three levels, as evident.
