"This is also your home." Jiang Jing held her hand and led her into the house.
Jiang Dad and Jiang Mom were just about to have lunch. Seeing their son and daughter-in-law return, they were slightly surprised but very welcoming.
"Xiaojing, you should have informed us before coming back." Jiang Mom jokingly reprimanded Jiang Jing and warmly grabbed Gu Mingzhu, saying, "Mingzhu, I’ll have Auntie add a few dishes. It’s very sunny outside, isn’t it? Have some watermelon first to fill your stomach."
Jiang Mom was very enthusiastic towards Gu Mingzhu. She was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, our decision was rather sudden as well." Gu Mingzhu replied with a cheerful smile. She was adept at soothing her mother-in-law, and during their conversation, Gu Mingzhu had already explained Zhao Xiu’s situation clearly.
Gu Mingzhu’s words were skillful, downplaying Zhao Xiu’s life-saving act while highlighting her magnanimity.
Even Jiang Jing, after listening to Gu Mingzhu’s words, had nothing to add.
"Mingzhu, you did well. In the Jiang Family, we always repay kindness." Jiang Mom praised her. It was the family’s tradition to always reciprocate favors.
Jiang Mom asked again, "Mingzhu, is the baby in your belly behaving well? Remember to eat the things we bought for you. What did the doctor say?"
Jiang Mom also accompanied Gu Mingzhu to the hospital. Upon hearing that the baby’s development was good, she felt relieved. Gu Mingzhu and Fang Yue were very close as mother and daughter, and Fang Yue mostly accompanied her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Jiang Mom frequently sent food and supplements.
"Good, everything’s good."
Gu Mingzhu replied with a bright smile. After finishing the meal, Jiang Jing brought up the matter of the Gu Family’s pharmaceutical factory, especially noting the twenty thousand investment He Jin hadn’t made.
Gu Mingzhu immediately expressed her stance, conveying her father Gu Hai’s thoughts. Gu Mingzhu calmly explained everything about the loan and investment of twenty thousand.
Gu Mingzhu clearly outlined the prospects and expected earnings of the pharmaceutical factory. Having been involved in business with her father, she was very knowledgeable about these matters. Having said what needed to be said, she excused herself to the room under the guise of needing the restroom.
Will the Jiang Family agree to lend the money?
Gu Mingzhu felt unsure in her heart.
In the living room, Jiang Dad, Jiang Mom, and Jiang Jing sat together. Jiang Dad said, "Xiaojing, we’ve decided to return to Guangcheng."
Jiang Jing raised his eyes and was taken aback, though he felt both surprised and somewhat expected it. His parents’ idea of returning to their roots had long been established, and Jiang Yuan’s visit deepened their desire to return to Guangcheng. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Dad, Mom, I respect your decision, but the business here in South City..." Jiang Jing hesitated, as the Jiang Family’s business was extensive in South City.
"Our family can conduct business anywhere. We can hire someone here to manage the business, and then we can come once a year or every six months." Jiang Dad looked at Jiang Jing and said, "We won’t meddle in the Gu family’s business. This twenty thousand can be lent, but the condition is that you accompany us back to Guangcheng."
Jiang Dad had long heard of the Gu Family’s pharmaceutical factory situation. Although they were in-laws, intertwining business could complicate things in the future.
"We also move back to Guangcheng?" Jiang Jing looked at Jiang Dad in surprise. Having grown up in South City, South City felt more like a hometown to him, whereas Guangcheng seemed foreign. He thought he could visit his parents often after they moved back and it would be the same.
"Yes." Jiang Dad nodded affirmatively. He understood his son well, knowing that if he weren’t married, the difference between Guangcheng and South City wouldn’t be so significant. But Gu Mingzhu was different.
