Chapter 247: Sending scolding thousands of miles away

Chapter 247: Sending scolding thousands of miles away

"You like Yao Shula?" Lei Jingwu suddenly realized something.

Gu Changqin wasn't embarrassed at all. He just shrugged and kicked a pebble at his feet.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling... I keep thinking about Yao Shula."

When I used to go to Yun County, I always thought about what we should prepare for Tiantian and how to make that little guy happy.

But when I came back... I was thinking, should I bring something for Yao Shula too?

At first, I found it strange myself. I even tried to explain it to myself: I was doing this for Tian Tian's benefit, to please Yao Shula, so that she would treat Tian Tian better. I was being upright and honest.

Later I realized how stupid I was. Yao Shula was so good to Tiantian, not for money.

Later on... I would often think of the way Yao Shula scolded me.

I feel that Yao Shula is different from others. She scolded me the first time we met, showing me no respect at all. And every time we met after that, she would say something sarcastic to me!

At first, I wasn't used to it. I thought, "How can there be such a feisty girl? How will she find a husband in the future?"

Later on... she stopped arguing with me as much, and I found that strange.

Last time, the two of us went to deliver something to her. She didn't criticize me, but I haven't felt comfortable since I got in the car.

Tell me, doesn't she think I'm beneath her? She even thinks it's a waste of time to scold me!

"Lei Jingwu, tell me, am I being really annoying?" Gu Changqin looked at Lei Jingwu.

Lei Jingwu thought for a moment and nodded very seriously.

"Gu Changqin, we've been playing together since we were little, so the fact that you like Yao Shula... really surprised me."

After all, your previous partners weren't in the same league as Yao Shula.

More importantly, with all the problems in your family, everyone only cares about money. Apart from you, Xiaoman, and your father, they all look down on you. Who do they think they can possibly respect?

Especially after my dad went to Shenzhen, the Gu family put in a lot of effort, and each of them never looked down at the road.

If your mom knew you liked Yao Shula... she'd probably throw a tantrum and threaten suicide in front of you.

Think about it, your mom has been trying to find you a partner lately!

Don't lose your mind and cause trouble for Yao Shula again. She's already working so hard taking care of her younger siblings. If your mom and the others make a scene...

"Hehe, do you believe it or not? Just one of them, Tiantian, can turn the whole house upside down," Lei Jingwu advised.

Gu Changqin sighed.

"I just... had this thought in my head."

Who knows what Yao Shula means to me? What if she just really doesn't like me?

In these kinds of situations... it's better if both parties are in love.

If someone isn't interested in me, and I suddenly make a scene like this, wouldn't that just cause them trouble?

"I'm not that stupid. I wouldn't tell my mom all this before I've even confirmed anything. With the way she's always looking for trouble, what would happen if she found out about this?" Gu Changqin said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Lei Jingwu said "oh" and stopped talking, but checked the things he was going to send to Yun County one last time.

Gu Changqin found it boring and thought for a while before saying, "Lei Jingwu, I'll go with you this time!"

"You're going too? This is the busiest time for your family. If you come to Yun County with me at this time, won't your mother be suspicious?"

Don't forget, last time you asked that craftsman to order a bag for Yao Shula, your mom kept asking you about it!

If I hadn't covered for you, your mom would have kept interrogating you for who knows how long!

"I have a reason for going there. I'm going to pick up Tiantian to celebrate the New Year. What excuse did you use?" Lei Jingwu asked bluntly.

"Can't I go pick up Tiantian too? Tiantian is the Gu family's grandson, my old man's favorite. Is it wrong for me to go pick him up?"

"Don't worry, I can handle it," Gu Changqin said with a smile.

Lei Jingwu glanced at the confident Gu Changqin.

"Are you... planning to just ask Yao Shula directly if she likes you?" Lei Jingwu asked.

Gu Changqin immediately rolled her eyes at Lei Jingwu.

"How could that be? I would ask Yao Shula in a very tactful and roundabout way."

"Don't worry, I know how to behave. I won't embarrass myself or make things difficult for Yao Shula, and I can still get all the questions I want to ask!" Gu Changqin said confidently.

Lei Jingwu didn't say anything, just said "oh," and then continued looking at the things he was preparing.

"Don't you find it strange that I would like Yao Shula?" Lei Jingwu's attitude surprised Gu Changqin.

"What's so strange about it! It's not strange who you like."

With your personality, I wouldn't be surprised if you liked things from abroad.

However…” Lei Jingwu stopped himself from speaking.

"But what?" Gu Changqin asked, even more curious.

"However, Yao Shula probably won't like you. Right now, she only has her younger siblings in her eyes. As for other people... she won't care about them."

You're probably going to have to leave empty-handed this time!

"They'll probably give you another dressing down. You've come all this way to send them a scolding... that's quite something." Lei Jingwu laughed.

Gu Changqin scoffed.

"That's not necessarily true. My qualifications are excellent by Shanghai standards, you know. Maybe Yao Shula will..."

“Her eyesight is excellent, she’s not blind!” Lei Jingwu interrupted Gu Changqin without any politeness.

Gu Changqin...

He had nothing more to say.

...

After the Lei and Gu families finished their Kitchen God Festival on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin took a car and headed to Yun County.

The car was fully loaded with New Year's gifts for Yao Shula's family.

Food, drinks, daily necessities, and snacks and melon seeds ordered from various shops in Shanghai.

Lei Jingwu remained composed, but Gu Changqin felt a little nervous.

The closer he got to Yun County, the more nervous he became. When they were almost there, Gu Changqin even had the urge to turn back to Shanghai.

"If you don't want to ask, then don't. Just think of it as a special trip to pick up Tiantian," Lei Jingwu couldn't help but say.

Gu Changqin hummed in agreement.

At 7 p.m. that evening, Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin finally arrived in Yun County.

Yao Shula's family had just finished eating.

Seeing the two looking a bit tired, Yao Shula sighed.

"Can I make you some pork bone broth noodles? Next time, could you come earlier? Wouldn't it be better to come during mealtime?"

I'll have to make them separately for you guys!

"Okay, then make noodles! Add two eggs!" Gu Changqin said immediately.

Yao Shula said "oh" and glanced at Lei Jingwu again.

Why is he so quiet today? Is he tired from driving?

"We're going to Grandma's house tomorrow to make steamed buns. You're free to do whatever you want. I'll bring the buns back for you to eat in the evening," Yao Shula said.

“Okay, we’ll stay for a day tomorrow, and then take Tiantian and Tianmi back first thing the day after tomorrow,” Lei Jingwu finally said.

Yao Shula was taken aback.

"Bringing Tian Tian and Tian Mi?"
