Gu Lingling never imagined that Wang Qingfeng would actually let his mom come over to propose, nor did she expect Wang Qingfeng’s mom to agree to it.
In Gu Lingling’s impression, this woman named Xu Qin is a typical city dweller who looks down upon rural people, let alone marry a rural girl to her son.
"Our family already has a partner for Lingling." Old Sir Gu refused Xu Qin tactfully.
Not to mention the situation with Yang Yunhai, it’s evident from Xu Qin’s calculating expression, how could he not notice?
And Xu Qin’s character, in the transformer factory, was all about opportunism.
Old Sir Gu hasn’t forgotten how, a few years ago, due to Wang Qingfeng’s situation, Xu Qin spoke to Gu Chunmei in an incredibly harsh manner at the factory.
It’s been a short while since then, how could her nature have changed? Impossible!
"Well..." Xu Qin’s previously smiling face showed a flash of embarrassment, but she quickly covered her mouth and said, "Old Sir, feel free to state any conditions, if we can meet them, our family certainly won’t be stingy."
Like how one must risk the lamb to catch the wolf.
"We’re marrying off our daughter, not selling her." Gu Chunhai said casually, "My daughter already has a partner, and they’re getting engaged in a month’s time."
"Why don’t you ask your daughter?" Xu Qin said with a smile, "Didn’t she visit the Capital City last year?"
The Gu Family is, of course, aware of Gu Lingling’s visit to the Capital City.
But seeing Xu Qin’s demeanor, why does it seem like Gu Lingling’s trip to the Capital City is connected to their family?
They couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Yet, there was no intention to call out Gu Lingling.
Her and Yang Yunhai’s relationship, last year Gu Chunhai might not have fully grasped, but now, a year has passed, and Yang Yunhai often visits their home. The mutual understanding between them is clear to Gu Chunhai, an experienced man, wouldn’t he know?
That’s exactly why he so easily agreed to Yang Yunhai afterward.
In this world, it’s rare to find someone you like who happens to like you too.
"No need, we know her situation well." Gu Chunhai directly rejected Xu Qin’s suggestion.
Xu Qin’s smile, which was hanging on, couldn’t hold any longer.
"Chunhai, my son is Wang Qingfeng, you should reconsider, not everyone is as capable as my son." Xu Qin said with considerable pride, "In the future, even if Lingling can’t be some affluent lady in our house, she definitely won’t have to worry about food or clothing throughout her life."
The implication was that the person they found for their daughter would surely lead her into hardships.
"I heard he’s a poor soldier, right?" Xu Qin said earnestly, "That’s why it’s no good to live without a mother."
"Let’s not even talk about whether this man can be as capable as our Qingfeng, just being an army wife, we’re not far from the military base, you can inquire around, being an army wife is not easy."
"I say Chunhai, you can’t push the child into the fire pit this way."
The newly arrived Yang Yunhai, "..."
The fire pit that this woman mentioned seemed to refer to him.
"Affluent lady, huh?" Just as Xu Qin continued her persuasion, a voice came from behind, "This is simple, if Lingling marries into our family, she’ll naturally be the wealthy mistress of our household."
"A lady of the Kyoto Yang Family." Wang Shuyun confidently pushed her son aside and entered, "How about this title? If you can’t provide it, I will."
Yang Yunhai, "..."
Is this his real mother? Why is she stealing his moment again?
