Outside, the sun was shining brightly and the coffee shop was filled with music. Deng Lijun's melody was always extremely pleasing to the ear.
But unfortunately, a man and a woman weren't in this mood at all.
Li Yugeng waited impatiently. His slender fingers were placed on the table, looking very beautiful.
Ji Qingyun stared at his hand for a long while before she finally said in a hoarse voice, "Li Yugeng, didn't you say so much just to ask me to let Cao Xiaoling go?"
"I'll tell you, I won't!" She raised her head, revealing a somewhat sinister expression on her delicate and pretty face. "If you have the ability, go save him yourself."
She was certain that Li Yugeng did not dare to tell his family that she had found a village girl and that he was still studying, which was why he dared to bully her.
"Oh? Looks like I've been talking about playing the lute to a cow all afternoon? "
Li YuGeng raised his chin with disdain in his eyes, "If that's the case, then don't blame me for not showing mercy."
"Hmph, don't threaten me. The Li family is powerful, but the Gu family isn't afraid!"
After throwing that sentence, Ji Qingyun grabbed her bag and ran off.
Li Yugeng was left behind.
He picked up the cup of coffee from the table and took a sip.
On the third day, just as Ji Qingyun was about to leave, she received a call from her grandma.
"Qing Yun, if you're not busy right now, then come over."
"Grandma, I have an appointment with my classmate to go shopping and buy clothes." Ji Qingyun, who had been spoiled since she was a child, was not polite in front of her family. "I'll come see you another time."
"Hey, come on." "Something happened over here, your cousin is here too," his grandma said uncharacteristically.
Ji Qingyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. "Which cousin?"
"Jinyu."
When these two words came out, her heart became even more frightened.
"Grandma, cousin can keep you company. Why are you calling me? I really can't go today."
"Tell her to hurry up and get over here. Our Gu family has lost all face because of her."
Grandpa's angry voice came from the phone. Grandma sighed, "Child, you should hurry over. Your parents are on their way here. Alright, that's all. We'll talk about it when we get there."
Ji Qingyun felt a chill in her heart. She didn't want to go anymore, but the phone in her hand reminded her that if she didn't go, her grandpa would ignore her.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and decided to take a look.
At most, they would just curse him for a bit, and there wouldn't be any other losses. As long as he could get rid of that bitch Cao Xiaoling, getting a scolding was nothing.
When Ji Qingyun arrived at her grandfather's house in Xiangshan half an hour later, her grandmother's benevolent voice sounded as soon as she pressed the doorbell, "He's here."
After a while, the door opened, and her grandma winked at her, saying in a low voice, "You've gotten yourself into big trouble this time. Just bear with it when your grandpa says it. Just let him put out the fire."
Ji Qingyun obediently nodded and said in a low voice, "I knew Grandmother would love me the most."
Grandma looked at her only granddaughter and sighed. "Let's talk after you enter."
When he walked into the living room, he realized that aside from his grandpa, his parents, Meng Qian, the mother of Gu Jinyu and Gu Jinyu, was also Ji Qingyun's third aunt.
"Grandpa." Ji Qingyun called out and purposely found a conversation, "Why isn't Li Ping here today?"
Li Ping was their nanny and had been with them for more than ten years.
"Hmph, your family is truly unlucky. After such an ugly thing happened, I still want others to stay and watch them make a joke?"
His grandpa was a veteran of the Red Army and had a deep roots. He had fought hard all the way. Although he doted on his granddaughter, he still had his principles.
Today, Ji Qingyun had come into direct contact with him and even implicated his grandson's good name and the entire Gu family's good name. How could he not be angry?
"Dad, why are you speaking so harshly?" Gu Hua was unhappy: "Isn't it just a child's fight for jealousy? Is it really necessary to go up to this level?"
"Child? A child knows how to use the power in their hands to bully others? "He even sent her to jail. Even the tyrants of the land lords would not dare to do such a thing!"
"I followed the Chairman to beat up the gentry and bullies, just so that the people could live a good life and not be bullied by others. I never thought that such a tyrant would actually appear in my, Gu Lianchang's, family, and force a teenage girl into a dead end! "
His voice was hoarse and his beard was trembling from the anger. Gu Hua didn't dare argue with his father anymore, but his face was full of disdain.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Didn't you already call and let that girl out?"
Gu Lianchang angrily pushed away her hand, "If you're not from the disciplinary committee, then tell me. I didn't know that my grandson and granddaughter were outside using my name, and all of them were doing the same thing."
"The disciplinary commission?" Ji Qingyun was stunned. She looked at Gu Jinyu and asked, "It wasn't from Li YuGeng?"
"What does it have to do with that kid surnamed Li?" Gu Lianchang said angrily: "It's all because of you two. The Gu family had always been famous, but now, your cousin did such foolish things and even lost his official position. If you ask me, you should just pull him out and shoot him!"
Some people did not like what he said.
"Dad, look at what you're saying." Third daughter-in-law Meng Qian was unhappy. "A discerning person could tell that it was definitely the Li family's brat who was causing trouble. He was heartbroken that Qing Yun had locked his girlfriend in. That's why he set up our Jin Yu." Dad, I'll tell her about this. Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Qing Yun likes the kid from the Li family, and due to love and hatred, Jin Yu was her cousin. Let's call out the Li Family and have a good chat. Once we spread it out, we'll be fine. "
"Third sister in law, I don't like what you're saying." Gu Hua frowned, "What do you mean by 'our Qingyun loves and hates'? These words seem to be from my daughter making a ruckus without reason."
"Is she making trouble for no reason at all? Her heart is as clear as a mirror." Meng Qian disliked this sister-in-law from the start. Her daughter had been quite obedient from the start. Who would have thought that she would be like her mother and be terrifyingly paranoid?
She turned around and smiled at Ji Qingyun, "Qingyun, it's not that Third Aunt doesn't like boys, it's just that you can't shave your head while it's hot." Li family's kid came to our house and said it out loud and clearly. He didn't have any thoughts towards you, and the one he likes is the little girl that was hurt by you. If you don't get it, then you will be destroyed.
Ji Qingyun was still a little girl after all. After hearing Meng Qian's words, she felt both sore and angry. Her tears rolled in her eyes.
"Alright!" Old Gu's mother still felt sorry for her granddaughter and hurriedly tried to protect her. "The matter with Qing Yun was wrong, but wasn't your elders responsible for it?"
First, he turned to his son-in-law. "Do you work all the time? Art? Do you have the time to worry about your daughter? Or have you learned how to stay abroad?"
Ji Yun rubbed his nose but didn't say anything. His father-in-law and mother-in-law both had fierce tempers. He was already middle-aged and his temper had improved a lot. Moreover, his daughter's mistake this time was ridiculous. Just listen to a few curses.
"And you." The son-in-law was an outsider, so it was hard to say. The daughter was his, so he scolded her rudely, "Every day we socialize, socialize, and have the time, why don't we care about our children too much? Qing Yun likes Li family's kid for so long, but you, as her mother, don't know anything. You still don't know that Qing Yun was bullied by that woman. "I know that the price of gold has risen again today, but where can we find nice jadeite tomorrow?"
Gu Hua resentfully mumbled a few words, but his mother only gave him a look. He could only roll his eyes and turn his head away.
"And you." Regardless of whether it was his daughter or granddaughter, they were both his heart's flesh and blood. His granddaughter was insensible, causing his grandson to be shamed while doing such a good job. Not only that, her original promotion had also failed.
However, the back of her hand was full of flesh. No matter who it was, she wouldn't feel good. A daughter-in-law was an outsider, especially one who bullied her family in front of her. Was she treating her as if she didn't exist?
"Did you just say it as though I was dead?" Mother Gu's anger was all directed at the daughter-in-law, "If you have the time to take care of someone else's child, why not take good care of your child. A woman does business outside every day, and her husband is unwilling to return. And now that Jinyu has done this, you say you're not responsible at all? "If you make her sound nice and friendly, Jinyu wouldn't tell you anything. If you knew, how could this happen?"
This was simply indiscriminately placing the blame on Meng Qian.
"Grandma, it's all my fault, don't talk about my mom."
Seeing that her mother was being scolded so harshly, her face turned red. Gu Jinyu quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's not my fault. She's still young and doesn't know anything. I'm not right for causing trouble at my age. I will firmly remember this punishment. I will treat it as a lesson that I will never dare to act rashly in the future. "
Only when she looked at her sensible grandson did Gu Mu's anger dissipate a bit.
"Jinyu ah, I know you're heartbroken, but you have to be clear about everything from now on. She's young, so she doesn't know how grave the situation is, but look, you must know that you've made a mistake.
Gu Jinyu nodded, "It's all my fault, Grandfather. Don't be angry too, it broke your body."
Gu Lianchang also knew that Mother Gu was biased towards her daughter and granddaughter, but when she was old, she was always willing to treat peace as an honor. She knew that the family of her third daughter-in-law had been wronged, but since they had a good temper, they might as well suffer a little.
In any case, in the future, he would use their relationship to promote this grandson more.
Home and everything.
"Alright, you will all be taught a lesson regarding this matter." Gu Lianchang came to make the final conclusion. "Qingyun, after you go back, think about it carefully. The next time you come, tell grandpa what's wrong with you."
Even Gu Hua had poked her a little. Only then did she unwillingly say, "Grandfather is so fierce, I don't dare to come again. Next time, I don't know where I made a mistake, but grandfather will tear me apart."
She just didn't feel wronged, and she didn't think it was her fault.
"Look at what you're saying, child." Mother Gu quickly tried to smooth things over, "With your grandpa's temper, I'll only be treating you like this. It's fine to scold you, but you didn't look at your cousin and you still have a slap mark on your face. "Then why don't you just hit him whenever you want? Just take it when you're at the point of being satisfied."
Only after hearing her grandma's words did Ji Qingyun look over. No, Gu Jinyu's white face had a dark red finger mark on it, which was very obvious.
No wonder he had felt that something was wrong. His cousin had been beaten up before he had even arrived.
She immediately felt a little embarrassed and sent an apologetic look towards Gu Jinyu.
