Chapter 306 - That came as a shock to everyone. (2)
The living room went silent for a few seconds after he had said that.
Mother Gu looked at her son-in-law and said, intimidated, “Yueshen, I felt that Muqing might not necessarily be behind this. Maybe Ah Fang was just accusing her. Perhaps we can wait until she is back to talk about it?”
All the others nodded in agreement when they heard that.
Su Yueshen was not surprised by their attitudes. “You still refused to believe it with the mounting evidence? I supposed even when she returned and admitted to it herself, you are still not going to turn her in to the police?”
Nobody said a word, but their expression said it all.
Gu Yilan was the one who finally stood up when she could no longer bear the way her family was looking at her. “Yueshan, it isn’t that we refused to believe it. It is just that we don’t understand why she did what she did!”
She couldn’t figure out why her cousin did what she did no matter how hard she tried!
They grew up together since they were children. They were closer than real sisters. Her cousin always had her best interest in mind.
Gu Yilan had a hard time believing that her cousin would suddenly target Xiao Jiu!
Su Yueshen said, “I know what you want to say. You owe the Lai family a big favor, but after raising their daughter for all these years, you longer owe them anything.”
“This is no casual matter. I am not going to just pretend that it didn’t happen!”
Mother Gu looked pale. “Yueshan, can you just forgive Muqing this one time? I promise I will teach her a lesson when she returns. But we don’t have to get the police involved.”
“She is still so young. Her life will be over if she is sent to the farm. If that’s the case, what am I going to tell my sister after I die?”
Mother Gu started to cry after she talked.
Su Yueshen was so angry that he could burst out laughing.
They couldn’t wait to look for excuses and speak for Lai Muqing before she even got back.
No wonder Lai Muqing was able to fool them so easily.
It wasn’t that Lai Muqing was good; it was that these people were too dumb!
Su Yueshen took a deep breath. “You have two choices. 1. Send Lai Muqing away. 2. Lai Muqing stays, but I will not remarry Yilan. Xiao Jiu will return to the Su family with me.”
Having said that, he turned and left without looking back.
It was like a bomb had been dropped on them!
All of the Gu family members were so stunned that they were speechless for a long, long time.
They couldn’t let him leave with Xiao Jiu without getting remarried!
Su Yueshen being an outstanding son-in-law notwithstanding, Gu Yilan was also madly in love with her husband.
She had never considered remarrying someone else even when her husband had no chance of returning.
Now that his status had been reinstated, the only thing left was for them to get remarried.
Nevertheless, they must send Lai Muqing away if they wanted that to happen.
What should they do? They couldn’t make up their minds.
The Gu family exchanged looks with each other. They were all in a daze.
Su Yueshen walked out of the Gu family looking awful and went over to two of his government friends’ place.
Two days later, Tong Xuelu suddenly received a notification from the government – she was appointed as the new manager of the government-operated restaurant.
Tong Xuelu was entirely dazed when she received the notice.
She had thought that the government would send over someone else to fill the role of manager of the restaurant after Liu Dongchang was gone. It never crossed her mind to take over that position.
Given her age and qualification, she didn’t stand a chance at all.
Could it be Wen Rugui who had pulled some strings for her?
But she quickly ruled out that possibility.
Wen Rugui would help her out, but he would not use his relationships to help her earn a position.
Besides, given their current relationship, he definitely would have let her know ahead of time if he was going to do that.
