“You can’t take all of this upon yourself.
Even if she hadn’t transferred schools, it wasn’t a guarantee she’d get into college. This matter can be looked at from both sides.
Besides, what’s wrong with not getting into college? And what’s so great about getting into college?
Do we lack college students in our store? Aren’t they all still selling cars, doing sales?
Although Lin Ziqi isn’t a college student, she’s still a store manager.
People’s destinies are different. If she hadn’t met you, she wouldn’t have become a store manager.
But now, as a store manager, she’s doing a great job.
So, education doesn’t represent everything, and you don’t need to feel indebted to her.
However, since you’ve already taken in her sister, it’s indeed difficult to take her in as well.”
Xiao Yun said a lot, truly considering Guo Xuyang’s best interests.
“Why are you so good to me?” Guo Xuyang asked.
“Because I’ve always considered you my boyfriend, my husband. If I’m not good to you, who else will be?”
“Xiao Xi is pregnant,” Guo Xuyang said out of the blue.
“I don’t necessarily need to fight for any status.
Marriage is just a piece of paper; it doesn’t mean anything.
All I need is to know that you have me in your heart.”
“Do you think I’m particularly scummy?”
“It’s the truth. What can you do if you’re scummy?
You have extraordinary talent, and I can’t handle your impact alone. Isn’t it better to have someone share the burden?”
“If only everyone else thought like you.”
“You should be content. Not to mention others, just with Ye Zi, you might not be able to handle it in the future.
You might feel like you’re getting the better deal now, having a harem and enjoying the blessings of multiple women.
Haven’t you heard the saying: 'In youth, you could pee three sheets in the wind; now, in old age, you wet your shoes even when the wind is at your back.'
You’ll have your troubles when you’re old,” Xiao Yun said with a pout.
“It’s fine. My kidneys are good, we have Hui Ren Shen Bao,” Guo Xuyang quipped.
“Don’t joke around, hurry up and go.
I still need to grab a sheet to spread over there. It won’t look good if Brother Hui and the others find out.”
“Let’s go. Have you booked the restaurant?”
“I’ve already called them and finished making arrangements.
We’ll serve the banquet dishes as planned, so Uncle and Auntie can taste them in advance and see if anything needs to be changed.”
“The arrangements are excellent. I’ve found that anything I entrust to you, I don’t need to worry about anymore.”
The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived at Guo Xuhui’s house.
“Yang Yang, come upstairs with me,” Xiao Yun said, seeing several women standing at the doorway looking out.
“What for? Sister Yun?”
“We’re going up to get something.” Xiao Yun certainly wouldn’t mention spreading the sheets in front of so many people.
Guo Xuyang watched the two go upstairs, then beckoned everyone to wait in the living room.
“What are you all standing around for? In this cold weather, aren’t you cold?
Boil some more water, and make some tea first. Is the air conditioning on?”
“It’s on. Fatty turned it on earlier. He’s chatting with President Wu inside,” Li Minxi said.
“You all should go inside. They won’t be here for a while. Aren’t you afraid of freezing in this cold weather?”
“I’m not cold, I’m wearing thick clothes,” Li Minxi said.
She was wearing a long red down jacket today, which was very conspicuous.
The other women were wearing cotton skirts or cloaks, while Elena was in pajamas.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to wear other clothes, but she had looked in many stores and couldn’t find anything suitable for her.
Being tall and plump, her size was hard to find.
However, her pajamas were quite nice, featuring cartoon bears.
“Elena, you’re wearing this to meet your future mother-in-law?” Guo Xuyang teased.
“What else can I wear? The little one inside is restless, I feel like I’m about to give birth.”
“Don’t scare me. It hasn’t been that long.”
“Look at me now, do I still look human? I’m almost a ball.
In a few more months, you’ll have to carry me to the hospital.”
“Why go to the hospital? We’ll invite a doctor to your home to deliver the baby.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s safer to deliver in a hospital.
If an emergency situation arises at home, what if there aren’t those facilities?” Li Minxi retorted.
“Let’s go. We’ll go inside to chat, it’s too cold outside,” Guo Xuyang said, heading towards the living room.
He was wearing less today, without a coat, and was rubbing his hands from the cold.
“Hey, brother, what’s up with your trip to the capital?” Pi Xiaoqian asked.
“President Jiang arranged for me to go on a long business trip in a while, and he wanted me to go discuss it in advance.”
“That’s great! I’ll go too,” Guo Yiyang said.
“This trip is quite special, no one is allowed to bring anyone. I’m only required to go alone.”
“Is that so? Then forget it. I wanted to go and see.”
As they were talking, the sound of a car engine shutting off could be heard from outside.
Guo Xuhui had parked the car at the entrance.
“Mom, Dad, Uncle and Auntie, you’re here,” Guo Xuyang quickly walked forward.
“Yes. We’re here. You rascal, you didn’t even call in advance,”
His mother, Wu Shangqing, poked his forehead with her finger.
“Mom, there are so many people here. Please don’t poke my forehead anymore. I’m an adult.”
“What? You’re not allowed to be told off just because you’ve grown up?”
“It’s not that, Mom. It’s my fault. I thought Brother Hui contacted you all, so I didn’t call you separately.”
“You didn’t even tell us about such a big event in advance. You rascal, hurry up. You’re not young anymore.
Your Brother Hui is already married, when are you planning to get married?”
“Hehe, Mom, I haven’t found the right person yet.”
“Then when will you find the right person?” Wu Shangqing asked.
“Sister-in-law, you can’t say that,” Auntie Xu Wenli interjected.
“Finding a wife isn’t like going to the market to buy vegetables, where you just pick and choose.
If we fancy a girl, she has to fancy us too, right?
It’s fortunate for Xiao Hui that he found a girl working in the provincial capital.
I heard she works in the same store, and she’s even a manager there.”
“Mom, why are you talking about this? If you didn’t work with this girl, would she fancy you?
You just sell cars, how much money can you earn?”
Guo Xuhui glanced at Guo Xuyang and shook his head helplessly.
It seemed Guo Xuhui hadn’t told his mother, Xu Wenli, that he was the general manager of a 4S dealership in the provincial capital.
“Auntie, Brother Hui is not just selling cars anymore.
Because of his good performance, he has been promoted to the store’s general manager.
Your daughter-in-law works with Brother Hui, she’s his subordinate.”
“Xiao Hui never told me he was the general manager.
How long has he been in the provincial capital? Not even three months, right?
Xiao Hui must be capable, otherwise the boss wouldn’t have let him be the general manager.
Yang Zi, you need to work hard too. Since your Brother Hui can be a general manager, you need to strive too.
So that’s why Xiao Hui could find a wife working in the provincial capital. It’s all because of this,”
Xu Wenli said, thinking she knew best.
“I will work hard, Auntie. Let’s go inside quickly, it’s too cold outside.”
Guo Xuyang quickly invited everyone into the living room.
