Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander-Chapter 586 - 614: The Troubled Matters of the Child 6

Sun Chan discussed with Gu Junming whether or not to introduce a blind date.

Gu Junming pondered for a moment but still felt it was not a good idea: "I always feel his ideas are particularly stubborn. If you want him to do something, he might just not do it, plus he is particularly busy in the early stages of starting a business now and probably doesn't have the time for this. Let's wait a bit. I got married at twenty-seven, and there are plenty of men who marry in their thirties."

Sun Chan could only nod and wait a bit longer.

At this time, Junjun was having drinks with Nannan at the cold beverage shop; Nannan is Yang Hongying and Gu Juntao's daughter.

She has always lived in the provincial capital. From a young age, she became an art soldier, and now she is a small leader in a cultural troupe. She got married last year, also to an officer. This time, she's back to see her grandpa. Gu Zishan's eightieth birthday is next week, so the whole family considers it important. Since she had nothing to do, she came to have a look.

She and this brother have had a great relationship since they were young. Although they don't see each other often, they get along very harmoniously. They share their thoughts easily.

Nannan saw her brother looking very frustrated and upset and couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong? Did you run into trouble with a loan shark?"

Junjun shook his head: "No."

"Then what is it?"

"I've fallen in love with someone," said Junjun.

"Pfft! Cough, cough, cough!" Nannan choked on her drink, coughing violently: "What did you say!"

Junjun gave Nannan a disapproving look: "Is it that surprising? Can't I fall in love with someone?"

"But everyone says you're a workaholic who doesn't like meeting people, so how did you fall in love with a woman? Or have you fallen in love with your computer instead, having a typical fetish?"

Junjun indeed loves his computer, it cost tens of thousands, custom-built with high-end components.

Junjun rolled his eyes in disdain: "I'm talking about a person, a woman!"

"Oh, that's good. What does she do?" Nannan was very curious.

Junjun smiled: "She's an older sister. Five years older than me."

Nannan nodded, unsurprised. He has always liked mature women, thinking that younger girls require pampering and lack mature thinking. So, he wants someone with whom he can share common ground.

"Aren't you going to ask who she is?"

"I'm waiting for you to say it."

"Okay, her name is Jin Xia. She is a client of our company."

Nannan nodded, indicating for him to continue, but her brows furrowed as she listened: "This girl isn't suitable for you."

"She's great."

"She is great, but sometimes when looking for a partner, you can't just consider how great she is. You have to consider whether you can accept certain aspects of her; do you think your parents can accept them?"

It turns out that Jin Xia is a girl from a very remote mountainous area; her family is extremely poor, with five or six children. She relied on immense willpower to get into college, eventually escaping from that mountainous village.

With excellent grades, she started working to earn money from her freshman year, supporting her family. Her family treats her like a cash machine. Since graduating, she's been financially supporting the family, building houses, providing dowries for her brother, and her sister is also being supported through school, bearing a heavy burden.

The first time Junjun met her, he felt that this girl had a distinctive charm, even without makeup her striking beauty can't be concealed, and the way she speaks and does things is mature and graceful. Junjun really likes her.

He knows she is handling three jobs alone, extremely busy every day, yet without savings, maxing out credit cards to provide bridal money for her brother, and her health is suffering from the work strain. Junjun feels heartache. Later, he proposed to date, but the woman refused, saying she didn't want to burden him.

"When I went to school, my parents contributed little money, only two thousand yuan, but that was all their assets, including the family's cow. I can't just ignore their lives since I escaped that village and poverty. This is the path I chose, no one forced me. You wouldn't understand."

Junjun was troubled, even willing to share her burdens, Jin Xia rejected him.

"No way, now you're saying this because of feelings and compassion, but over time, no one can bear it. I myself feel terrible; how could anyone think this is normal?" Jin Xia smiled bitterly: "I not only have to bear my siblings' livelihoods, but I also have to worry about my parents' health, and even the future schooling and employment of my nieces and nephews. Who let me be the only girl who got out from over there? Let's just be friends."

Junjun said, "I said I'm willing to share her burdens, through thick and thin, but she still refused."

"Of course, she won't agree! This shows she cares for you—you grew up in a good family and wouldn't understand their poverty," Nannan said, "This woman isn't bad, but she is foolish, she has made herself into a saint who only knows sacrifice, and the inevitable result is misery. You two are not suitable."

"But my parents said they don't care about her family background..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Do you want your parents to be dragged into this too? That's a bottomless pit! Your parents aren't billionaires, not to mention their money is earned through hard work. Isn't that right?" Nannan said: "She is more suitable to find a super-rich sponsor, who can shell out tens of millions, several millions, although that's hard to find. Or she can find someone like her, you mind your family, I mind mine, none of you despise one another."

Junjun went silent, understanding he's aware her words are true, especially after starting his own business and knowing money is hard to earn.

Nannan continued, "As long as someone has human nature, there's always an instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Don't simply equate pity for someone as love. A lifetime of being drained by a bunch of people isn't good. If you wish to pursue, think if you really can bear it from the heart. But you're my brother, and no matter what you do, I will support you."

Junjun said nothing further, drinking his beverage deeply, uncertain about what to do next.

That night, he brought it up casually to his mother.

Sun Chan listened and nodded: "That's the case."

"Mom, did I do something wrong?"

"This matter isn't about right or wrong. The key is your own choice," Sun Chan didn't strongly oppose: "Back then, I also fled the village and was saved by your dad, but the difference is that I didn't have any burdens. If I had been dragging many people along with Gu Junming, his family probably wouldn't have agreed either."

Junjun lowered his head: "So you don't support my relationship with her."

"If you're determined to be with her, I wouldn't oppose, but our financial support for them has limits. I hope you understand, don't endlessly sacrifice. Your life will be very tiring."
