Chapter 515
She Is From The Countryside
?
515 heâs not completely crazy yet
âAunt, donât be so excited. Iâm just joking.â He said in a frivolous tone.
Gu Qingqing coughed for a while before she recovered.
âxiao xun âer,â
Gu Yuâs expression froze.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
aunt, Iâm already so old, and youâre still calling me that. If others hear it, Iâll lose my dignity as the head of the Gu family.
âyou also know that youâre the head of the gu family! do you know how much the gu family has paid for your stupidity this time? In order to save your life, the Gu family will need at least ten years to recover!â
Gu Yu didnât have much of a reaction, as if he didnât care at all.
xiao xiao said, â look at what youâre saying. those who donât know would think that you care a lot about the gu family. didnât you change your last name and draw a clear line with the gu family? you donât care about the gu family anymore, do you? â
âItâs true that I wonât interfere with the Gu familyâs Affairs anymore, but Xiao Xun âer, I have to take care of you.â
gu mo quickly glanced at her and looked away.
âlook at what youâve done! Iâve told you before, thatâs not how you like someone. Everyone is a free individual. If you really like her, you should let her wishes come first. Donât try to take her by force, or youâll only force her further and further away from you.â
âauntâs words are not unreasonable, but they donât apply to her and me. It will only force her to stay further and further away from me? Now that she has someone else by her side, sheâs already very far away from me. â
Gu Qingqing was unable to refute.
putting aside what kind of person shi yan was, fifth lord jiang was definitely not someone who would allow anyone who coveted shi yan to stay by her side. it would have been fine if gu yu only wanted to be friends with shi yan, but gu yuâs feelings for shi yan were not limited to this.
âsee, aunt, you think so too.â
âWhy does she have to be the young lady of the Shi family and the person beside her has to be the fifth master of the Jiang family? If she was just a little girl from the countryside without any background, and only happened to save the heavily injured me while picking herbs in the mountains, or if the person by her side was not the fifth master of the Jiang family, it would be much easier for me to keep her by my side than it is now.â
âThese are all facts. Itâs meaningless for you to think like this.â
gu yu was silent.
âyes, itâs meaningless for me to think this way.â
he swung the iron chain in his hand, which made a crisp clanging sound. he retracted his legs and sat cross-legged against the wall.
He seemed to sigh. what a pity. She was so close to getting on the helicopter and leaving with me. Iâve underestimated that fifth master Jiang.
âno, even if the fifth lord wasnât present, you might not be able to get yanyan to board the plane with you. you still donât know her well enough. the shi family doesnât give her confidence, and neither does the fifth lord. no one knows where the limits of her abilities lie. up until now, iâve never heard of anyone who can force her to that extent.â
âeven if she had boarded the plane with you, you wouldnât have been able to keep her in the gu family.â
âItâs not that you donât know about this, but you still did it and even let yourself lose so badly. Xiao Xun âer, I donât quite understand your thoughts.â
gu yu smiled at gu qingqing. â i guess heâs just too anxious. â
âwhen i first arrived in haicheng, i thought i had a chance. later, i found out that with jiang che around and his close watch, i couldnât find a chance at all. and every time i see the two of them being so sweet, the jealousy in my heart rises, and some thoughts canât be stopped.â
gu yu moved his hand again, and the chain made a crisp sound. he even raised his hand to look at the chain locked on his hand, and then said with a sigh, â âif i had known that i would lose so badly, i would have shot her. at least she would remember me for a longer time.â
sigh, I didnât pick the right time. The people here arenât weak. I canât guarantee that I can hit them in one shot.
gu qingqing looked at him and sighed, â âxiao xun âer, do you think i donât know what the situation was like back then?â
I heard that there were a lot of people at the scene, but not all of them were good at fighting. If you had opened fire, there was a high chance that you would have hit someone in the chaos, but you didnât do that.
gu yu raised an eyebrow. â since you know what happened, you must know that my men were all switched out. with so many guns pointed at me, i wouldnât be able to get away even if i hit someone. i might even die on the spot. â
âare you telling me that youâre afraid of death?â
âxiao xun âer, are you someone whoâs afraid of death?â
gu yu suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed for a long time before he stopped.
âAlright, I admit that I never intended to shoot from the start. aunty, seriously speaking, this is all thanks to you. Do you still remember? when i first arrived in sea city, you came to find me and said something to me. â
âitâs probably because youâve taken care of me since i was young. i might not listen to others, but itâs really hard for me not to listen to you.â
gu qingqing had always been in haicheng. she was more sensitive to news about the gu family, especially since she still paid close attention to her nephew, gu yi, even though she had left the gu family.
That was why she found out about it not long after Gu Yu arrived in Haicheng.
He specially went to see Gu Yu.
she knew that gu yu had been looking for someone all these years. However, she did not know that the person he was looking for was Shi Yan. It was not until Gu Yu came to Haicheng University as a freshman and kept in contact with Shi Yan that she realized.
she went to gu yu for confirmation, and gu yu did not deny it.
She still remembered that the day she first went to find Gu Yao was their school opening ceremony. She only found out later that Gu Yao had given up on the freshman representativeâs speech to see her.
because of this, she became even more soft-hearted towards gu yi.
Gu Yi still listened to her, but he was really crazy. She was not sure what Gu mo would do when he went crazy. She was afraid that he would hurt Shi Yan by accident, so she gave Shi Yan a hint.
forgive her for hinting and not making it clear. she only had one nephew and she had her own selfish motives.
To Shi Yan and Jiang che, Gu Yu had come with ill intentions. She wasnât sure if Shi Yan and Jiang che would keep him in Haicheng after knowing his true intentions.
She had struggled for a long time before she made the decision to give Shi Yan a hint.
Gu Yu looked up at Gu Qingqing and said with a smile, â âaunt, i know why youâre here. you donât have to persuade me. iâm already in this state, how can i not be clear-headed?â
Gu Qingqing looked at him suspiciously.
obviously, she didnât believe him.
âI know that little aunt doesnât believe me. Actually, thereâs nothing to not believe. Even if Iâm not clear-headed, I canât do anything with my current strength.â
This was true.
the gu family had really suffered heavy losses this time, and the person gu mo was after was not an ordinary person. it was shi yan, who was not simple to begin with and had the shi family and the fifth master jiang behind her.
but before gu qingqing could heave a sigh of relief, gu yu smiled and said, â â however, after i rest for a few years to recover my strength, i might make a comeback. â
âYou ...â
âaunt, donât be nervous. iâm just joking.â
Gu Qingqingâs temper was almost gone after all these years, but she was still angered by him.
She glared at him fiercely and could not help but cover her mouth and cough again.
âyou should know about my relationship with the shi familyâs third young master. perhaps it wonât be long before i become the third young madam of the shi family. you know my temper. if you have really done something detrimental to the shi family, i would be willing to sacrifice my life to apologize to you. if you still care about your aunt, then you should restrain yourself.â
Gu Yu smiled at her, but his gaze was a little intimidating.
Gu Qingqing stood up as if she didnât see his intimidating gaze. âIâll take my leave first. Donât worry. Your seventh uncle and the fifth Lord have already discussed the conditions. If you stay here for a month, the fifth Lord will let you go.â
you didnât have a good New Year. When you go back and recover, Iâll make you a meal to eat with you. Itâll be your New Yearâs Eve dinner.
âAunt.â gu mo called out to her.
Gu Qing Qing stopped in her tracks.
âWhy didnât you come here two days earlier?â Gu Yu smiled at her.
âIf you had come two days earlier, we could have had a New Yearâs Eve dinner together. I donât think that fifth Lord Jiangâs subordinates will stop you from bringing a bowl of food.â
Without avoiding his gaze, Gu Qingqing looked at him and said seriously, â âxiao xun âer, youâre twenty, not two. when you made a mistake when you were two years old, you could easily get away with it and not be punished. but when you made a mistake when you were twenty years old, you canât just get away with it without any punishment.â
ânot coming over two days earlier is my auntâs punishment for you. âThe next time you mess around like this, you donât have to call me aunt anymore. Iâve cut off all ties with the Gu family long ago. My body doesnât have many years to live, so itâs good to cut it off completely. At least I donât have to worry about this anymore.â
after saying that, gu qingqing turned and left the basement.
she could vaguely hear gu yuâs low laughter behind her.
He seemed to have said something else, but Gu Qingqing did not hear him clearly.
She actually did not have a good time this New Year either. Since she decided not to visit Gu Yu on New Yearâs Eve, she had been sick over and over again, and only got better today.
however, it was good that he was sick. if he came to see him with a sick body, it would look like he didnât have long to live, and the effect would be better.
this crazy child, if i donât force him, i really donât know what other ridiculous things he will do.

the next afternoon, shi yan went to see jiang zhi as promised.
