80s Wife Is Sweet and Sassy - Chapter 72

Chapter 72 – Fascinated Gu Jianshe (1)

During the meal, Zhu Yuzhen told Gu Jianshe about going to the Chu family’s house for dinner. Since Gu Jianshe was thinking about something, so he didn’t hear what his mother said at all, and he just agreed with what she said.

After eating the meal, when his mother was going to the kitchen to wash dishes, he went to Zhu Yuzhen’s room and found several pieces of jewelry from the jewelry box. After he counted and made sure of all of them, Gu Jianshe heaved a sigh of relief.

He put the jewelry into the briefcase, and he prepared to go looking for Gu Ye to deliver them to him.

“Remember to go to your Aunt He’s house for dinner tomorrow. I have made an agreement with your Aunt He.” Zhu Yuzhen reminded him again loudly.

Gu Jianshe paused for a moment, and a ghost-like face suddenly appeared in his mind. She was not pretty, and also had a very bad temperament. He really didn’t want to see her for the second time.

“Got it.”

Gu Jianshe casually agreed. At worst, when he came back from the dinner tomorrow, he would tell his mother that he didn’t like her. Anyway, if he didn’t agree, his mother also couldn’t force him to marry that ugly Chu Qiao.

He went back to the family dormitory building of the machine tool factory with a heavy heart. He lived on the third floor, Gu Ye also lived on the third floor, and furthermore, he lived next door, only separated by a wall. In the dead of night, whatever he was doing, Gu Jianshe could hear it all.

Gu Ye stood in the corridor, and when he saw Gu Jianshe, he said coldly, “Have you got it back?”

“Let’s talk inside and I will give them to you!”

Gu Jianshe opened the door to his room, and Gu Ye followed him in. He looked at it with disgust. It was as messy as a pig’s nest. When his former wife was still alive, the house was also not very clean. That woman was simple-minded and sloppy, a girl from Zhu Yuzhen’s village.

Originally, the reason she was chosen to get married with Gu Jianshe was because of her good buttocks, which was good for giving birth to children. But in the end, she also had to pay with her life.

Thinking of that miserable woman, Gu Ye’s mood became bad. At that time, he was still in the B team. He heard that it was because of the difficult labor, so they could only protect one. As a result, Gu Jianshe and his family chose to protect the child, and the woman who gave birth to the child was gone.

When the old man learned about this, he scolded his elder brother and sister-in-law severely. As for Gu Jianshe, he didn’t get scolded. This guy always shirked his responsibility, saying that he passed out from crying too much at that time. And when he woke up, his wife was already gone, saying that he was in so much pain and grieved that he wished he was the one who died. Well, that stupid old man actually really believed that, so he only scolded Gu Jianshe’s parents.

Gu Ye sneered sarcastically, and extended his hand to Gu Jianshe.

“Here!”

Gu Jianshe took out the jewelry, and his old brain suddenly remembered something, then he said in a bad mood, “Where are the photos?”

Gu Ye carefully checked the jewelry. Zhu Yuzhen really took care of them so they were still in good condition and well maintained. A jade bracelet, a pair of pearl necklaces, and two pairs of jade earrings, all of them were used by his waipo1 before she died, and they were all top quality.

1waipo (外婆) : maternal grandmother.

“What’s the hurry? Where’s the house?”

Gu Ye put away the jewelry. These would belong to his future wife. Before his waipo died, she said that the jewelry would be passed on to her grandson’s wife. But he couldn’t keep them because of his stupid mother.

“Don’t go too far. That house was given to me by nainai2.” Gu Jianshe gritted his teeth. It was already bad for him to give the jewelry to Gu Ye, but if he also had to give the house, he was really unwilling.

2nainai (奶奶) : paternal grandmother.

It was a three-story modern-style house, furthermore it also had a garden, and was in a good location. It was more valuable than the jewelry.

“Nainai? The way you call her is really so close ah! This house belongs to my Lin family. You don’t deserve it, Gu Jianshe. I will be waiting for you at the Housing Management Bureau at nine o’clock tomorrow morning. If you’re a minute late, I will show these photos to the old man!”

Gu Ye took out some photos from his pocket. He hadn’t taken out the photos of Xu Bilian’s checklist. This woman still hadn’t made a move, so he wouldn’t startle the snake. These photos were already enough to frighten Gu Jianshe out of his wits.

Gu Jianshe gritted his teeth, and there was a bloody smell in his mouth. That house was something that he got from coaxing Lin Yulan so hard all day long before he finally got it. Gu Ye, this bastard, wasn’t even close to his mother. How much energy and thought did he spend to fill Lin Yulan’s emotional void? Since he had spent so much energy and mind, so wasn’t this house what he deserved to get? What right did Gu Ye have to take it back?
