Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage - Chapter 399
Chapter 399: Chapter 400: Mother’s Childhood Sweetheart
Gu Qichen held Xia Yangyang in his arms, “Clear skies are great, but heavy rain is also a unique sight, no need to worry, even if it’s a downpour in your world, I will always hold an umbrella for you.”
Xia Yangyang turned around and embraced Gu Qichen.
She was not insensitive to his words.
But what if this rain, is falling for your sake?
Xia Yangyang didn’t dare to ponder on it.
These days, because Gu Mingzhu had not returned yet.
She has given herself an empty vacation.
She didn’t think about past feuds, didn’t think about whether her mother’s death really had anything to do with Gu Mingzhu, she just completely indulged in the time she was with Gu Qichen.
The more she stayed with Gu Qichen, the more it felt like she was sinking into a quagmire, unable to extricate herself.
In these days, apart from being busy with her thesis, Xia Yangyang spent her remaining time trying to find out information about Gao Wenbin.
Liu Ruyan said that the source of all past grievances was because of this man.
But Xia Yangyang didn’t obtain much valuable information.
Later, Xia Yangyang went to their old film academy.
She found a classmate who was in the same class as her mother.
Now, she is the head of the acting department of the Film Academy, a highly respected figure.
What she said about the past was not much different from what Zhang Jizhong had told her.
About the past of Gu Mingzhu and Tan Zhen, they seemed to intentionally avoid mentioning it.
But unintentionally, she revealed something.
When Tan Zhen was in the Film Academy, she had a childhood sweetheart, named Gao Wenbin.
Upon hearing the phrase “childhood sweetheart”, Xia Yangyang decided to take a trip back to her grandmother’s house.
Gu Qichen originally intended to go with her.
But it was nearing the end of the year and he was busy, his time already stretched thin.
Xia Yangyang went to the countryside alone, planning to visit her grandmother while she was there.
Her grandmother was very happy to see her.
But seeing Xia Yangyang alone, she hastily asked, “Where’s Ah Chen? Why didn’t he come back with you?”
Xia Yangyang replied, “He is very busy now and really has no time, but he said he will come and visit you in a while.”
The look on the old woman’s face was both disappointed and happy, “If he’s busy, let him be. I’m not insisting that he comes to see an old woman like me.”
After entering the house, Xia Yangyang found that the house where her grandma lived had been completely renovated.
The water and electricity had been completely rewired, and a separate bathroom had been built.
In addition to the renovation, new furniture had also been added.
A telephone line had also been installed.
After entering the house, her grandmother began to grumble, “I’m an old woman, and I’m already halfway into the grave, you guys insist on sprucing up the house like this, wasting money and energy.”
Xia Yangyang held her grandmother’s hand, “Grandma, you can still live for fifty more years. I don’t allow you to say such things, and besides, Ah Chen arranged for all this. He did this because he wants to make it more convenient for you, especially since your legs aren’t so good, there’s no way we would still have you fetching water from the yard.”
Grandma said it was a waste, but she was actually very happy.
Now, the people in the village knew how good her grandson-in-law was to her, and they were extremely envious.
In the evening, Grandma made chicken soup.
Xia Yangyang drank three bowls, but it was still not enough.
Her grandmother sighed, “Your eating habits are just like your mother’s. Every time she came home, I would make her chicken soup, and she could finish a whole pot by herself.”
Speaking of her mother, Xia Yangyang paused for a moment, and then casually asked, “Grandma, do you know a man named Gao Wenbin?”
As soon as Grandma heard this name, her face changed, “You’re talking about that little hooligan from the orphanage, right? Of course, I know him, he was always getting into fights and causing trouble. Everybody in the village and town knew his name. Later, I heard that he was sent to jail..”
