Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 249 - 248: Unexpectedly, Reality Slapped Her Hard in the Face
"So, Doctor Gu has come back."
"Is that the Doctor Gu who was in the newspapers?"
"Yes, indeed. I still have that newspaper; it’s the pride of our Qingshan County."
...
Surrounding people recognized Gu Jia Ning; it was unavoidable. When Gu Jia Ning appeared in the newspapers, it caused quite a stir across Qingshan County. Moreover, since Gu Jia Ning was from Huaihua Village in Qingshan County, it was hard for people not to remember.
"Let’s leave first; there are too many people here."
Seeing the crowd increasing, Sheng Zexi suggested.
"Yes, yes, we should leave."
Gu Yunan was still busy with matters at the grain station, unable to get off work yet.
Over here, Old Gu was holding Yueyue as he followed them into the Jeep.
Sheng Zexi asked, "Wife, shall we go directly back to Huaihua Village?"
Gu Jia Ning looked out the window, "No, let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Dad, is Third Brother at the supply and marketing cooperative, right?"
It might not be easy to meet Big Brother at the factory, but Third Brother working at the supply and marketing cooperative would be easy to meet.
"Yes, your Third Brother is working at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Alright, then let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
-
At Qingshan County’s supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Yunzhou was busy behind the counter with a constant flow of customers.
He was busy and thus didn’t notice someone not far away, constantly glancing at him.
That person was Liu Yuan.
She occasionally looked at Gu Yunzhou, sometimes lowering her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, and then seemed to remember something, showing a hint of bitterness.
The female colleague nearby instantly saw through her thoughts and quietly leaned over to ask, "Yuanyuan, do you like Gu Yunzhou?"
These words immediately startled Liu Yuan.
"You—you stop talking nonsense."
"How am I talking nonsense? Anyone can tell from your gaze."
Liu Yuan fell silent.
"I say if you like Gu Yunzhou, let your parents propose. Gu Yunzhou is indeed nice."
"Our supply and marketing cooperative has quite a few people eyeing him. If I weren’t already married and had a child, I’d definitely be one of them too."
Liu Yuan’s heart was full of bitterness.
Couldn’t she see how good Gu Yunzhou was?
Hadn’t she asked her parents to propose to the Gu Family?
She had.
Even her parents thought Gu Yunzhou was nice.
But they were rejected by the Gu side.
Initially, she thought it was Gu Yunzhou’s parents’ decision, later finding out it was Gu Yunzhou’s own choice.
Gu Yunzhou said he wasn’t ready to get married yet.
Liu Yuan thought, Gu Yunzhou is already in his twenties. At this age, others have become fathers to several kids; why did Gu Yunzhou not want to marry yet?
Previously, Liu Yuan always believed, as her parents were leaders of the compound, her father a county secretary, she was a city girl with a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, surely many would want to marry her.
She assumed, the matter of her parents proposing to the Gu family would quickly settle the marriage.
Yet didn’t expect reality to slap her hard in the face.
Evidently, Gu Yunzhou did not like her.
As for why Liu Yuan liked Gu Yunzhou,
perhaps it was because she had grown fond through prolonged contact since Gu Yunzhou came to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Or possibly because she accidentally found out Gu Yunzhou had saved her.
That time, when she and Wen Zhqing almost did that, it was the disturbance made by Gu Yunzhou that woke her, allowing her to escape, preventing her lifetime from being ruined.
Gu Yunzhou hadn’t said this; she found out by chance.
She wondered if perhaps Gu Yunzhou knew about her past with Wen Zhqing and considered her unworthy, thus not liking her.
Previously, Liu Yuan was a girl who dared to love, hate, and express herself.
But after experiencing Wen Zhqing’s incident and being caught by Gu Yunzhou regarding her affair with Wen Zhqing, Liu Yuan became insecure and timid in front of Gu Yunzhou.
Especially after being refused in advance, she dared not come closer.
Only dared to watch from afar.
Though Gu Yunzhou wasn’t a city person, his conditions didn’t fall short compared to city folks.
Gu Yunzhou was handsome, had a job, and the Gu family, Old Gu was the village chief, Gu Yunzhou’s brothers also had jobs, one was an officer at the steel plant, one worked at the grain station, plus their one sister who was in the newspapers, remembered by those above, with such great medical skills as Doctor Gu, married to a promising officer in Beijing.
Overall, the Gu family background was excellent with strong connections.
Thus, Gu Yunzhou’s conditions were very favorable.
It’s unclear whether Gu Yunzhou, at present, didn’t want marriage because he hadn’t met the girl he liked, or whether he already harbors affection, just not being together yet?
To what kind of girl would Gu Yunzhou favor?
Just then a colleague beside her tugged on her sleeve, excitedly saying, "Hey, Yuanyuan, look, that girl is so pretty."
"She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen; simply like a fairy descending to the mortal world."
"Oh my, she’s heading towards Gu Yunzhou, could she be the girl Gu Yunzhou likes?"
What?
Liu Yuan immediately looked up, seeing a remarkably beautiful girl walking towards Gu Yunzhou.
That girl was indeed very beautiful!
Liu Yuan always considered herself attractive, but now she realized her so-called beauty paled in comparison to this girl’s.
And at this moment, the girl who looked exceptionally beautiful in the eyes of Liu Yuan and others had arrived at Gu Yunzhou’s counter.
"Hello, I’d like to buy a hairpin."
"Alright, which one..." Gu Yunzhou spoke while looking up; upon seeing the smiling girl who stood before him, he immediately paused.
Soon his eyes reddened.
Always composed, his voice at this moment carried a choked emotion.
"Little sis? You’ve, you’ve come back?"
Standing before Gu Yunzhou was none other than Gu Jia Ning.
"Indeed, I’ve come back, Third Brother. Long time no see, I’ve missed you so much."
Gu Yunzhou smiled with reddened eyes, "You little girl, you truly are..."
Gu Yunzhou restrained his impulse to go forward and hug his little sister.
Due to the busyness, the sibling duo had merely a brief chat.
Gu Yunzhou learned his little sister had returned this time with her entire family, intending to stay at home at least a month.
He immediately felt elated, "Great, you bring Brother-in-law and Xingxing, Yueyue home first, once I’m done, I’ll head right back."
"Okay."
Despite the eagerness to reminisce, Gu Jia Ning bid farewell before leaving.
Gu Yunzhou gazed at her departing figure, taking awhile before snapping back from his daze.
Opposite, Liu Yuan instantly noticed the unusual emotions of Gu Yunzhou, pondering whether that was the girl Gu Yunzhou likes?
Such beauty, yet with such grace, whose family could she belong to?
Gu Yunzhou wasn’t aware of Liu Yuan’s thoughts.
At this moment, he was wholeheartedly focused on his little sister, only eager to finish work and head home quickly.
