Usually, when Guo Caiping goes for a stroll downstairs, Jintao accompanies her.
"Him? He’s got sothing to do, so I’m strolling by myself, and moreover..." Guo Caiping exaggeratedly waves her hand, "Having soone tag along is annoying, I still prefer strolling alone, it’s more carefree."
"Doctor Guo, you really don’t know how lucky you are. My husband, I have to force him to go out with , as if it’s embarrassing to be seen with , sigh!"
"Everyone has their good points, sigh..." Guo Caiping said as she continued walking down, "I won’t keep you from getting ho for dinner, let’s chat another day when we have ti."
"Alright, goodbye, Doctor Guo." The woman politely bid farewell and walked up the stairs.
Guo Caiping paced around the yard several tis, but didn’t see Jintao’s figure. Helplessly, she wandered outside for a while, but still didn’t see that familiar silhouette, and her heart started to panic.
Ever since they got married, this has never happened before. In the past, no matter how much fuss she made, Jintao would always tolerate it. Could it be that this ti he is serious?
Hmph, she’s not going to indulge his bad habits, does he think that by making a fuss she’ll give in?
Impossible!
All her life, he has listened to her, no way that it would change now to a different way! Let him leave if he wants, she’d like to see how low he’d go before she’d allow him back in!
With that thought, Guo Caiping straightened her back and went ho, picking up a dical book by the table, yet for a long ti, none of the words sunk in as she worried about her daughter and herself...
"Creak!"
The door opened, Guo Caiping looked up in surprise, only to see her daughter’s red swollen eyes, "What happened?" She hurriedly went over, grasping her daughter’s hands while frowning, "So cold? Is this how Liu Zhenqiang takes care of you? I told you, n like that are unreliable. You shouldn’t have chosen him. Sit down, I’ll go warm a hot water bottle for you."
Allowing her mother to push her onto a chair, Kim Lan remained expressionless and dazed.
Guo Caiping filled a hot water bottle, wrapped it in a thick towel, and handed it to her daughter, but her daughter’s hands remained unresponsive. Having no choice, she held the bottle herself to warm her daughter’s hands, "Lanlan, don’t scare mom, what really happened?"
"Sigh!" After a long pause, Kim Lan sighed and looked at Guo Caiping, "Just as you wanted, I’ve broken up with Liu Zhenqiang."
"Broken up?" Guo Caiping was taken aback, then let out a sigh of relief, "It’s good to break up. I told you he wasn’t suitable. See? You realized in just a few days, right? Lanlan, don’t you think mom was right about him now?"
"You’re quite spot on, but it wasn’t who wanted to break up with him. He was the one who wanted to break up with ..." Kim Lan gave a bitter smile, "I, Kim Lan, am being picked over and tossed aside by him. Mom, are you satisfied now?"
"What?" Guo Caiping instantly widened her eyes, "You’re saying he suggested breaking up?"
"Yes, I went to his house to find him, he t and introduced to his wife, a woman who’s nearly eight months pregnant." Kim Lan sighed, "That’s the rural girl you knew about."
"Is he out of his mind?"
"His mind is certainly fine, that woman can help him maintain his worker status. With , he’d end up with nothing. If you were him, what would you choose?"
"Wha...what do you an?"
"It ans that his county’s governor got removed, and now he’s just an ordinary worker, and all of this is because he wanted to be with . Mom, tell , should I be happy or sad?"
"..." The information was overwhelming, Guo Caiping didn’t know what to say and after a while, finally spoke, "Wasn’t that just a rural woman? Didn’t he have support? How did it end up like this?"
"Because that woman’s cousin is the wife of Zhou Mikang, the third son of the Zhou family."
"What?" Startled, Guo Caiping loosened her grip, causing the bottle to drop to the ground and burst open, with shards and water scattering all over, mirroring the awful mood of the mother and daughter.
Fortunately, the water wasn’t too hot and was wrapped in a towel, so no one was hurt.
After cleaning up everything, Guo Caiping sat beside her daughter, not speaking for a long ti.
If she had known that the rural woman had such a background, she would never have allowed her daughter to get involved with Liu Zhenqiang. Now, her mind was filled with regret, regret for not being firm enough.
Conversely, Kim Lan thought that if she had known Liu Zhenqiang would end up like this because of her, she would have pursued Liu Zhenqiang earlier, and gotten ahead of that rural woman, then none of this would have happened today.
