As he expected.
Lin Dong’s face turned green upon hearing this.
But before he could withstand the pursuit, a clear, cold voice cut through the crowd.
“Then can you first explain what exactly the three of you were doing last night?”
“Also, why was Comrade Liu Yun at your house before Lin Dong went there?”
“Comrade Shen, aren’t these words of yours contradictory?”
No one expected Lin Nian to return at this time. She was a bit disheveled from being squeezed, her hair almost completely loose, but her enunciation was clear, and the words she spoke were like knives, directly piercing Shen Chengye’s heart.
“If you can’t explain it, how about I explain it for you!”
“Because you have a close relationship! The first thing you do when you come home on vacation is to go to her house to give her money and goods, and she always goes to your house in the middle of the night to find you.”
“The two of you have been having an affair for a long time!”
Shen Chengye was stunned, not expecting Lin Nian to say this in front of everyone.
But he quickly reacted and denied it loudly.
“Nian Nian, I can swear that if I have ever had any romantic thoughts about Comrade Liu Yun, may I be paralyzed for life and die a horrible death!”
“Lin Dong already told me last night that your blind date with Gu Zeyun was just to appease your family, and that you still have feelings for me in your heart!”
“If you really mind… in the future, I can guarantee that I will no longer contact Comrade Liu Yun!”
The widow Liu was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
What did these words mean?
He didn’t plan to continue helping her family in the future?
That wouldn’t do! Without Shen Chengye, how would they, a widowed mother and child, live?
She had some money in her hand, but a child’s growth wasn’t just about having money.
She was still thinking of having Xiao Jun take the university entrance exam, and after graduation, asking Shen Chengye for help to arrange a job in the military.
In a dozen years, Shen Chengye should have climbed to a higher position!
At that time, arranging a good position for Xiao Jun wouldn’t be easy?
But now, for the sake of Lin Nian, Shen Chengye was going to cut ties with her family!
The widow Liu’s eyes were red with jealousy, and tears immediately fell.
But when she opened her mouth, she still helped Shen Chengye speak.
“Xiao Jun was sick last night, and I, a woman, didn’t know what to do, so I went to ask Brother Shen for help.”
“The two of us are innocent!”
“Comrade Lin Nian, if you misunderstand Brother Shen because of this, my conscience will be uneasy!”
“Please believe us!”
As she spoke, she was about to kneel down to Lin Nian, but she was promptly helped up by her.
Lin Nian’s expression was indifferent, but her slender arms were like pliers, holding her arms so that she couldn’t move.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the widow Liu felt that both of her arms were numb, and she was so frightened that she was about to retreat, but hesitated when she heard her next sentence.
“Comrade Liu Yun, don’t be afraid.”
“Since Comrade Shen is having an affair with you, he should be responsible to the end.”
“As long as you say the word, we will definitely help you stand up for yourself and let Comrade Shen get a marriage certificate with you!”
On the other side, the Gu family’s old house.
Grandpa Gu looked at this grandson who was once his greatest pride, and his voice was full of disappointment.
“Last night, you still said you were just dating and didn’t plan to get married.”
“Now that I tell you to break up, you say you want to submit a marriage report!”
“Don’t you understand? You don’t actually like her at all, you just want to go against me!”
“Xiao Ze, I, this old man, can tolerate how willful you were in the past.”
“But now, are you even going to ruin your own future and lifelong affairs?”
“If that’s the case, I might as well beat you to death now! So as not to disgrace our Gu family!”
Gu Zeyun was still maintaining the kneeling posture he had just taken, and smiled mockingly.
Willful?
His choices were all seen as willful in their eyes!
Why must he follow the path they planned?
He, Gu Zeyun, was not just the eldest grandson of the Gu family, but also a living, breathing person!
A surge of anger suddenly arose in his heart, but Lin Nian’s smiling face emerged, miraculously extinguishing his impulse.
Gu Zeyun took a deep breath, even more determined.
I still stand by what I said.
Unless you personally guarantee that the Gu family will take care of Lin Nian when she needs it in the future, and also reject Shen Chengye’s report.
Otherwise, I’ll go get a marriage certificate right now!
Gu Zheng trembled with anger.
He never thought that his grandson would be so difficult to communicate with!
What was so special about just one woman that made him willing to give up so much for her?
He suddenly grabbed the metal cane leaning against the sofa, this time not tapping his calf, but with a whoosh, he fiercely lashed it towards Gu Zeyun’s back.
Xiao Lan screamed and rushed over to stop him, but Gu Zheng pushed her away.
I’ll let you lose your mind! I’ll let you get married!
You want to marry Lin Nian, right? Fine, unless you leave the Gu family!
From now on, I, Gu Zheng, have no such grandson!
Xiao Lan was stunned.
She couldn’t hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground, unable to stop crying.
Dad, no!
All the mistakes are mine!
If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t have been sent down to Nancheng, and Xiao Ze wouldn’t have…
She covered her face, her voice with a hint of despair.
If you want to beat him to death, then beat me to death first!
Gu Zeyun could resist Gu Zheng, but he couldn’t watch his mother break down.
His tense back slowly bent down, his voice hoarse.
Mom, don’t cry.
I promise you, I’ll break up with Lin Nian.
But his vulnerability only lasted for a second.
When he straightened his back again, he returned to his usual calmness.
As long as you call Uncle Yang now and ask to personally inquire with Comrade Lin Nian whether she is willing to marry Shen Chengye.
As long as Lin Nian personally agrees, I will never pester her again and break up with her immediately.
Gu Zheng laughed in anger.
Even now, he was still thinking of breaking up the young couple!
Shen Chengye was also a well-known young man in the army, and was Gu Zeyun’s most powerful rival!
Now he was staging a drama of two men fighting over one woman, didn’t he think about what impact it would have on him?
But he didn’t directly refuse, just snorted coldly.
I can’t afford to lose face.
You want to find Lao Yang, right? Fine!
Then you make this call yourself!
Back when Gu Zeyun was sent down, he was still a proud and arrogant new recruit.
He clearly had the opportunity to avoid the family’s involvement and stay in the research institute in Beijing, but he refused to ask for help from the Gu family’s connections, and even the tutor who took the initiative to call him was rejected by him.
Asking him to make a call himself was worse than killing him!
But Grandpa Gu never expected…
Gu Zeyun was silent for a few seconds, and actually stood up, resolutely walked towards the telephone in the corner, and skillfully dialed a string of numbers!
Then, his deep voice echoed in the living room.
Uncle Yang, it’s me, Gu Zeyun.
I’m sorry to bother you at this time, but I would like to ask you…
To do me a favor.
