Chapter 12 Rumors and Gossip First

"That's enough." Seeing that Gu Yunting had taken so many clothes, Zheng Jiayu quickly stopped him, preventing him from continuing to frantically take more clothes.

If we keep taking them, people will start talking when we get back.

Gu Yunting paused in his hand as he picked up the clothes: "Why is that enough? You didn't bring many clothes with you."

"If you buy me so many clothes all at once, people will start talking about us."

"Let them say what they want. I'm buying clothes for my wife, what business is it of theirs?" As she spoke, she went to grab two more pieces of clothing.

Zheng Jiayu was getting a headache from looking at it.

Finally, despite the objections, Zheng Jiayu bought several outfits for Gu Yunting as well, which made him feel more comfortable.

Besides clothes, the two also took out the list they made yesterday and bought a lot of things from it.

After buying everything, Gu Yunting took Zheng Jiayu home.

When Gu Yunting was unloading things from the car parked at the entrance, he was seen by someone.

Seeing Gu Yunting buy so many things, someone said sarcastically, "I wonder where this capitalist lady came from. She buys so many clothes as soon as she arrives. She doesn't treat men's money like money."

Gu Yunting came out of the house and heard these words. He looked at the other person and said rudely, "Sister-in-law, you just bought a few dresses a few days ago, right? Now that I'm buying some clothes for my wife, I'm suddenly a capitalist's daughter? Why don't you go and report me?"

The person who was being humiliated by Gu Yunting was losing face and muttered, "I'm only doing this for your own good. You married such a spendthrift wife, you'll regret it later."

"I've been saving up all these years with nowhere to spend it, and now I can finally use it. I'm happy to spend as much as I want. Besides, my wife also bought me clothes with her own money." As Gu Yunting spoke, he took out the clothes that Zheng Jiayu had bought for everyone to see.

This left the man speechless, but Gu Yunting had no intention of letting her off the hook: "My wife bought me so many clothes, did you buy any for your husband?"

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly disappeared into the crowd.

She has always only bought clothes for herself and never for her in-laws or husband. Now that someone has said it so directly, she feels ashamed.

Zheng Jiayu stared in shock at Gu Yunting in front of her, silently giving him a thumbs up.

That's incredible fighting power.

"Ignore this kind of person. If she makes things difficult for you in the future, just give her a piece of your mind." Their relationship wasn't that good anyway.

Zheng Jiayu instantly understood what Gu Yunting meant; he was telling her that she didn't need to give this person a friendly look.

No wonder Gu Yunting doesn't give people any face when he's being sarcastic.

Zheng Jiayu helped take the things back before Gu Yunting went to return the car.

Back home, Gu Yunting closed the door, shutting out all the sights from the outside world that he had been looking out for so long.

Looking at Zheng Jiayu, who was packing her things, Gu Yunting said, "That woman's husband is called Lin Guobang. I've never gotten along with him. His wife only dared to say such things today because she saw that you were new here and didn't know anything."

"I'll tell you about the situation here later, so you'll know what's going on here and won't be bullied."

"good."

After packing his things, Gu Yunting began to tell Zheng Jiayu who in the family compound he could get along with, who he couldn't, and who he could directly confront without giving them face.

As they stopped, Zheng Jiayu said with some emotion, "It's a good thing you told me this, otherwise I would have been completely clueless and knew nothing at all."

"It's what I should do."

"By the way, is there any job you'd like to do? If you're interested, I can talk to the manager and arrange a job for you," Gu Yunting asked Zheng Jiayu.

Zheng Jiayu gently shook her head: "I haven't thought of anything to do yet. I'll tell you when I do."

Zheng Jiayu felt that she shouldn't have settled on her job at this time, but she wasn't quite sure why.

"Okay, I'll arrange a job for you when you want one."

Lin Guobang looked at his wife, who had stormed back in, and asked, "Did you see her? What kind of person is Gu Yunting's wife?"

"She looks like a vixen."

"As for Gu Yunting, he's protecting Zheng Jiayu like a mother hen protecting her own," Lin Guobang's wife muttered irritably.

"I haven't noticed anything else yet."

Lin Guobang nodded to indicate that he understood.

The woman sat down next to Lin Guobang: "Husband, what is your purpose in sending me to find Gu Yunting?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see what kind of woman Gu Yunting cared about so much that he even went to pick her up in person," Lin Guobang said thoughtfully.

The woman glanced at Lin Guobang, but didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she said, "In that case, I'll go and inquire about the information later."

"No need. Knowing Gu Yunting's personality, he will tell that woman about the situation in the family compound today, and you probably won't be able to contact her after that."

Even if you do get close to her, she might not give you a friendly look.

The woman fell silent.

Shen Lin quickly learned that Gu Yunting and Zheng Jiayu had registered their marriage.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Lin looked somewhat dazed: "He really did get his marriage certificate with Zheng Jiayu."

“I’ve been with him for so many years, and he never even glanced at me. Now he’s getting a marriage certificate with someone he’s only known for a few days. I’m so resentful,” Shen Lin said bitterly.

“The Gu family is well aware of our purpose in wanting to form a marriage alliance with them. For the sake of the family, the Gu family will definitely not agree to the marriage alliance with us.”

"But our two families have known each other for so long, isn't it only right that they help us?"

Shen Xizhen glanced at Shen Lin. What nonsense was this person spouting?

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. What do you mean by 'it should be'? If word gets out, do you know how many people will laugh at the Shen family? If you don't want Dad to deal with you, you'd better watch your words and not say anything you shouldn't," Shen Xizhen warned.

Although Shen Lin was unwilling, she had to listen to Shen Xizhen.

Despite hearing what she said, Shen Lin still couldn't help but go to find Gu Yunting.

Standing at the door, Shen Lin looked at Zheng Jiayu, who was ordering Gu Yunting around the yard, her eyes filled with jealousy.

He then walked in, ignoring Gu Yunting and the others' displeasure.

"Brother Yunting, how could you do such a thing? You could have let Zheng Jiayu do it." Shen Lin's first words were full of concern for Gu Yunting.

Zheng Jiayu paused in her bite of fruit and just looked at Shen Lin.

What they are doing has nothing to do with Shen Lin.

Does she really need to speak up for Gu Yunting here?

"This is my wife and I's fun, what's it to you?" He's happy, what does it have to do with Shen Lin?

There's no need for Shen Lin to speak up for him here.

"Shen Lin, stay away from me from now on. I am a married man now, and it is not appropriate for me to get too close to female comrades."
