Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Kept in the Dark

For three consecutive days, Liu Miao would rush back to Nanshui Village after work, and every morning on her way to work, she would inevitably run into Gu Haojun.

Sometimes it was at the village entrance, sometimes on the road within the village.

To the point where Gu Haojun wondered if Liu Miao was secretly spying on him.

Of course, he changed several running routes, but without fail, he would run into Liu Miao.

And Liu Miao would stop and greet him with a smile, exchange a few words, sometimes about things happening at the transformer factory, sometimes asking whether he had told Gu Lingling about that matter.

Gu Haojun, of course, had told her. On the first day Liu Miao mentioned it, he went to find Gu Lingling to discuss this.

”Are you saying Liu Miao stopped you and said this?” Gu Lingling asked with a smile.

”Why? I think from the way she said it, it didn’t seem like a lie.” Gu Haojun could see that much.

”Brother, then why didn’t she come directly to talk to me?” Gu Lingling carefully scrutinized her elder brother. She had to admit, the Gu family people were great at inheriting attributes.

Gu Haojun had indeed inherited Gu Chunsheng and Wang Meili’s strengths, hadn’t he?

”I did ask her this, she said you have too many misunderstandings about her, and you definitely wouldn’t believe her words.” Gu Haojun scratched his head, wondering if he had done something wrong again.

Why does he always feel so silly every time he comes back?

”Why wouldn’t I believe it?” Gu Lingling retorted, ”How does she know I won’t believe her if she doesn’t say it?”

”Well...” Gu Haojun was stumped by this question.

”So, big brother, don’t get involved in this matter anymore.” Gu Lingling said with a smile. Given how Gu Haojun had been in the military for a long time, how could he possibly be a match for Liu Miao, who always has so many twists and turns?

”If she brings me up again, just ignore her, or let her come find me.” Gu Lingling instructed.

So when Liu Miao asked him again, he replied with just that.

Liu Miao was so angry she almost spat blood.

In her heart, she loathed Gu Lingling to death.

But it didn’t matter.

A few days were already enough.

Liu Miao smiled faintly, ”Brother Gu, I specifically made these pastries, you can take them back for Grandpa. He loves to eat this kind of soft pastry.”

”Thank you for the gesture, but no need.” Gu Haojun said coolly.

”This is my small token of goodwill for Grandpa.” Liu Miao forcibly shoved the basket in Gu Haojun’s hands, ”I’ll be on my way now.”

After saying that, she waved at him with a sweet smile and left without waiting for a reply.

Gu Haojun sighed and brought the pastries back home.

Little did he know, because of this, he would bring upon himself a heap of trouble.

Gu Haojun returned home, put the pastries on the table, and went to cook for Old Sir Gu. The pastries stayed untouched, thinking he would return them to the Liu Family later.

Even though it was Liu Miao’s goodwill, Gu Haojun knew a thing or two about the Liu Family’s situation.

Better skip taking freebies from people.

However, as soon as breakfast was over, even before he could return the items, Liu Miao’s mom and Liu Tian came knocking at the door.

”Oh dear... is Haojun home.” Liu Miao’s mom looked at Gu Haojun as if he were silver, ”Just finished breakfast? How’s Uncle Gu’s health lately?”

”You see, our Miao Miao too. Such a big thing happened, and she didn’t tell us. If we didn’t hear others talking, we would have remained in the dark.”

”How long is Haojun planning to stay this time? When are we going to hold the wedding? Even if we don’t rush the wedding, at least we should arrange an engagement.”

What the heck?
