The moment Jiang Jing heard the news, he instantly wanted to hang up the phone, but the other party was reasonable and had already hung up after speaking, not giving him a chance to continue the conversation.
Jiang Jing was full of doubts, with two conflicting thoughts struggling in his mind, and in this situation, he could only lie.
His brother, Jiang Yuan, was indeed returning from Guangcheng, but he wouldn’t be back until tomorrow. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Jiang Yuan had settled in Guangcheng, and his business was getting better and better. He kept persuading Jiang Jing to go with them to Guangcheng. Jiang’s dad and mom grew up in Guangcheng as children, then moved to South City with Jiang’s grandparents, and finally settled in South City.
Guangcheng was the true home for the Jiang Family in a meaningful sense. As Jiang’s parents got older, the desire to return to one’s roots became stronger.
"Mom, who just called Brother Jing?" Gu Mingzhu asked, frowning.
"The people from the Jiang Family!"
Fang Yue answered, seeing Gu Mingzhu’s frowning expression and asked, "What’s wrong? Isn’t it because his brother is coming back, why aren’t you happy?"
"I always feel it’s not about Jiang Yuan." Gu Mingzhu also felt she was overthinking.
"You’re overthinking it. How can it not be about Jiang Yuan? Can Xiaojing really keep it from you? Besides, Jiang Yuan has been persuading Xiaojing’s family to go to Guangcheng, haven’t we all known this?" Fang Yue comforted her daughter, saying, "You, being pregnant makes you think too much."
"By the way, where’s dad?" Gu Mingzhu, comforted by her mom, stopped thinking about it and looked around but didn’t see Gu Hai.
"There’s something at the pharmaceutical factory that’s come up. Your dad went to take care of it, but he’ll be back soon." Fang Yue explained. The Gu Family used to be in the fabric business, selling cloth. The business was very good, and earned the Gu Family a lot of money. Even in tough times, their family lived quite well.
Not to mention, it’s getting better now. Their business doesn’t even need to be mentioned.
Now, setting up the pharmaceutical factory was also something Gu Hai and his brothers did together. The profits from the pharmaceutical factory, once really established, would earn even more than selling cloth.
"Oh, Mingcheng is back." Gu Mingzhu heard the car sound outside, glanced over, and indeed, a car had arrived.
Fang Yue craned her neck and felt a pang of anguish in her heart, thinking about Gu Mingcheng insisting on staying with the Xu Family.
But, Fang Yue was happy to see Gu Mingcheng return to the Gu Family with Xu Nianhua. As long as Xu Nianhua was here, when Mingzhu gives birth, everything would be perfectly safe and smooth.
A sincere smile appeared on Fang Yue’s face.
"Second Sister, this is our home." Gu Mingcheng warmly introduced. The Gu Family’s house is a two-story villa with a garden, and the house looks very new, as if it’s regularly maintained. The garden inside is full of blooming plants, looking vibrant and full of life.
Xu Nianji and Xu Nian’an brothers surveyed this house and thought: the new house built by the Xu Family is not inferior to this one; it’s just a bit smaller. As for gardens, not only does the Xu Family have a large front yard, but there’s also a pond not far behind. They’ve already decided to plant lotus roots next year, and in summer, they can admire the lotus flowers. When they harvest, they can eat the lotus roots. Just thinking about it is wonderful!
Since Xu Nianhua entered the Gu Family, she couldn’t help but recall the past. The first time she came to the Gu Family, she was completely stunned by their house. She never thought that in her lifetime, she could live in such a beautiful house.
