Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Zhou Weiming fell into deep thought.

Outside, Liu Qing, who had dragged Gu Lingling out, was also pouring out her grievances.

”He’s the hot commodity in our family now,” Liu Qing said mockingly. ”I don’t even know what my cousin told Grandfather, but the family’s attitude now is: let him choose, whoever he likes, he’ll marry into that branch.”

”Isn’t that ridiculous? So I’ve become Chinese cabbage now, just waiting for him to pick?”

Gu Lingling had heard Yang Yunhai mention the childhood engagement between the Zhou Family and the Liu Family, and she’d even heard Liu Qing complain a bit about some of the shady stuff in the Liu Family.

She just hadn’t expected it to be this... complicated.

”Of all the people he won’t smile at, he has to smile at my cousin. Great, now she’s taken a fancy to him,” Liu Qing said with a faint smile. ”Usually he pretends to be a walking iceberg.”

At first she’d been strongly against the arranged marriage, but later she’d gradually accepted it.

She just hadn’t expected that after he came to her house once, so many things would happen.

Clearly knowing that that brat Liu Yan didn’t get along with her, he actually still talked to her.

”I’m actually really wronged here,” Zhou Weiming was telling Yang Yunhai about this. ”Isn’t she her cousin? She talked to me—was I supposed to just ignore her?”

That would’ve been very rude.

”Liu Qing’s cousin, huh?” Yang Yunhai ordered Zhou Weiming to peel him an orange. ”Is Liu Qing close to her?”

”No idea.” Zhou Weiming peeled a segment and popped it into his own mouth. ”So sour.”

”I never told you to eat it.” Yang Yunhai snatched it from his hand and put it in his own mouth. The sweet-and-sour taste was great.

”And what were you greeting her for, even chatting?” Yang Yunhai rolled his eyes at him, feeling a bit thirsty again, and ordered Zhou Weiming to pour him some water.

As expected, people who rarely talk shouldn’t talk too much—they get thirsty.

”What if Liu Qing doesn’t get along with her?” Yang Yunhai was truly speechless at this iceberg’s EQ; it was even more offline than his own.

Ah!

No wonder!

Zhou Weiming instantly got it.

No wonder after that, Liu Qing’s attitude toward him had gotten even worse, even turning impatient.

If he hadn’t forced himself to come along today, he probably still wouldn’t know what she was mad about.

Thinking of this, he actually felt a bit of admiration for Yang Yunhai.

That glass of water was worth pouring!

Emotional expert Yang Yunhai was feeling quite pleased with himself.

Back in the day, it was thanks to this very intuition that he’d managed to win his girl over.

Gu Lingling, however, ran into someone outside.

”What are you doing here?” Tao Yanxuan was carrying a fruit basket, looking at Gu Lingling in surprise. ”We really do have a lot of fate between us.”

Gu Lingling gave a dry little chuckle.

She had zero desire to be ”fated” with him in a place like this.

She gave a faint smile.

Tao Yanxuan didn’t linger. ”I’m here to visit a patient. See you.”

”Who is that?” Liu Qing tugged on her and asked. ”He’s really good-looking.”

As soon as Zhou Weiming came out, he heard this sentence, then saw the lovestruck expression on Liu Qing’s face. The little burst of joy he’d just had instantly vanished.

He was good-looking too, so why couldn’t she look at him with that kind of gaze?

Unfortunately he hadn’t seen that man’s face from the front; otherwise he would definitely have to compare carefully and see who was actually more handsome.

But judging from the back, the guy’s figure was pretty good—looked like someone who trained.

When Liu Qing turned around, she saw Zhou Weiming standing there with a dark face, and her smile disappeared too. ”Forget it, I’m going back.”

She didn’t want to stay here with Zhou Weiming.

Lest she get so pissed she wouldn’t be able to eat later.

”I’ll walk you out.” Gu Lingling smiled, then went in to say a word to Yang Yunhai.
