From school uniform to wedding dress, but I don't want to marry you anymore

The car continued to drive.

Soon, it stopped in front of a well-repaired red-painted door.

Gu Wei took out a big red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Gu Sili.

Gu Sili took the red envelope, took Yun Ning's hand, got out of the car, and walked into the house.

The cement yard was clean and tidy, with firewood neatly stacked in the corner, and some chickens, ducks and rabbits raised in the small shed next to it.

It looks simple and warm.

Then, an old woman with gray hair came out after hearing the noise.

The old woman's eyesight was not very good. She stood there and looked at Gu Sili and Yun Ning for a long time before she smiled: "Little Gu is here!"

"Hello, Granny Liu."

Gu Sili walked over with a rare gentleness on his face.

It's like shedding the superior and noble shell to reveal the soft side.

He said, "I'm going home today and I'm stopping by to see you."

"Good home, good home, come and sit down!"

Granny Liu greeted Gu Sili and Yun Ning, and brought over two wooden stools.

Gu Sili took Yun Ning's hand and sat down to chat with Granny Liu.

There was nothing special about the chat content.

It’s nothing more than whether your body is still healthy and whether you eat well.

If there is anything inconvenient, feel free to call the village chief. He has already informed you in advance.

Granny Liu responded one by one and nodded in agreement.

Then, the old man looked at Yun Ning and smiled kindly: "This girl is so pretty, is she your girlfriend?"

Yun Ning was a little nervous.

Does the word "partner" mean girlfriend or wife?

The identity that Gu Sili acknowledged most to Yun Ning was Assistant Yun.

The identity of a girlfriend or wife is simply a fantasy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Sili held Yun Ning's hand tightly and said to Granny Liu with a smile: "Yes, my boyfriend."

Yun Ning was surprised and looked at Gu Sili.

Gu Sili looked back at her, with that kind of sunny and cheerful expression on his face that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Granny Liu smiled and said, "It's good to have a partner. If you have more children, your home will be more lively."

Gu Sili also nodded and responded: "I'm planning it."

Yun Ning looked at her lower abdomen.

The man hated children so much a few days ago, but he didn't feel anything when he heard that she had a miscarriage.

Now they say that having a child is in the plan.

This man is really good at coaxing people!

After visiting Granny Liu, Gu Sili took the red envelopes, held Yun Ning’s hand, and visited several other families.

Gu Wei was also laughing beside him, and his attitude was completely different from when he met those old men at the village entrance just now.

After visiting all of them and getting in the car, Gu Wei explained to Yun Ning: "These families are the real good people."

"The first one was Granny Liu, whose family was also in financial difficulty, but whenever she saw hungry children in the village, she would take out the remaining wild vegetable dumplings at home, and my cousin was the one who ate the most."

"And Uncle Zhao, when my cousin fainted from hunger in winter, he gave him some roasted sweet potatoes."

"By the way, do you remember that there was a family that planted a grape vine in their yard?"

Yun Ning nodded: "I remember. Judging from the appearance of the tree, it should be quite old."

Gu Wei smiled and said, "When I was a kid, my cousin and I would go to the mountains to pick wild fruits when we were hungry. When all the wild fruits were picked, we would climb over the walls of the villagers and steal some pears, grapes, and apples to eat."

"If we were caught, we would have been beaten. But that family saw us stealing grapes from the wall and not only did they not do anything to us, they were afraid that we would fall, so they took the initiative to pick a lot of grapes for us brothers."

"I remember that day, my cousin and I ate so many grapes that our mouths, faces, and hands were all purple from the grape skins. We even had diarrhea at the end of the meal."

When I grew up, I had endless wealth, so when I talk about the hard life I had as a child, it becomes more interesting.

Gu Wei smiled and continued, "Every time I go back to my hometown, my cousin and I will visit these elderly people. We also greeted the village chief and asked him to take special care of us."

Yun Ning nodded, sighing that she had witnessed the real-life version of "a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water."

If she had not liked Gu Sili during college, but had simply admired him.

He could even help Gu Sili like he did with other poor students. Maybe when the Yun family went bankrupt, Gu Sili would lend a helping hand.

Even if I hadn't helped her, she and her family wouldn't have fallen to this point.

Perhaps, she had positioned herself wrongly from the very beginning.

Amidst sighs, the car finally stopped in front of a three-story Western-style building in the center of the village.

This small Western-style building is luxuriously decorated in European architectural style. The off-white exterior walls are matched with the dark red roof, making it particularly eye-catching in the shabby little village.

Then the door opened.

A middle-aged man and woman in their forties or fifties came up to greet us enthusiastically: "Si Li, A Wei, you are finally here, come in quickly."

Yun Ning looked at Gu Sili in confusion.

Gu Sili explained to her in a low voice: "These are Gu Wei's parents. You can just call them Second Uncle and Second Aunt like me."

Yun Ning nodded obediently and was led out of the car by Gu Sili's hand.

As soon as her feet landed on the ground, Yun Ning felt two pairs of eyes scanning her body.

Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu usually live in the city center.

Gu Wei said that Gu Sili was going back to the village soon, so he came back early to clean the house.

They also heard from Gu Wei that Gu Sili would bring someone with him today.

For so many years, Gu Sili has been focusing on his work, and this is the first time he brought a girl back.

The two were quite surprised, so they became more curious about Yun Ning.

Facing the inquiring gazes of Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu, Yun Ning greeted them gracefully, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

They both smiled at the same time and said, "Hello, hello, come in."

After stepping through the red-painted gate and walking across the cement yard, the group entered the house.

Gu Wei fell on the sofa with his arms and legs spread out, mumbling, "I'm so tired from flying and driving all this way."

Second Aunt Gu slapped him on the head and said, "You are not sitting properly. Take your cousin and friends to rest!"

"understood."

Gu Wei stood up while mumbling, and said to Yun Ning and Gu Sili, "Cousin, Yun Ning, go upstairs first. I'll call you when my parents have finished cooking."

Yun Ning nodded and was led by Gu Sili to the best room on the second floor.

The layout here is simple, clean and tidy, and all kinds of equipment are available.

Yun Ning was also a little tired, so she lay down on the bed as soon as she entered the room.

Gu Sili sat next to Yun Ning, his eyes fixed on somewhere.

Yun Ning looked in the direction of Gu Sili's gaze and found old fishing nets, fish baskets, sickles, backpacks and other things placed in the corner of the wall.

Gu Sili didn't turn around, and said in a leisurely voice: "When I was a child, my family was very poor, and even the farm tools were broken. I didn't expect that Second Aunt still kept them."

Yun Ning didn't say anything.

From the first day she met Gu Sili, she knew that he had a hard life since childhood.

But looking at those worn-out farm tools, Yun Ning had a concrete understanding of Gu Sili's difficult life for the first time.

The amount of effort required to rise from such a dilapidated mountain village to the pinnacle of power and wealth is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Therefore, Gu Sili is ruthless and heartless, decisive in killing, domineering and powerful.

In Yun Ning's view, these huge shortcomings in the relationship between lovers are indispensable means for him to pursue his career.

No one is perfect.

It is a blessing that Gu Sili has become like this.

However, these have nothing to do with me anymore.

Because she is leaving soon.

Gu Sili seemed unaware and continued chatting with Yun Ning: "Gu Wei has always told you that Granny Liu and Uncle Zhao are very good to me. In fact, the person who treats me best is his mother."

"When I was a child, Gu Wei's family was also very poor. But every time I was hungry and went to see Second Aunt, she would always find a way to make some steamed bread and vegetable dumplings. Occasionally, the food at home was better, with rice, white flour buns, and even lard residue, and Second Aunt would save it for me."

"..."

Yun Ning understood.

That's why Gu Sili brought Gu Wei with him, gave him resources, and taught him how to do things.

Let him become a bottom-ranked college student, and become the well-known and carefully served Second Young Master Gu.

Gu Sili talked about many things again.

Yun Ning also listened carefully.

But I have never heard Gu Sili mention his parents.

She had doubts in her mind.

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Wei knocked on the door outside: "Cousin, Yun Ning, come out for dinner."

"understood."

Gu Sili pulled himself away from his memories.

Perhaps because he was recalling something beautiful, his expression was very gentle, and his palm holding Yun Ning's was also very warm.

Yun Ning held his hand back and they went downstairs together.

The village chief and the prominent elders in the village had all arrived, and Gu Sili sat in the main seat.

All the people were trying to please Gu Sili in their conversation.

Gu Sili also accepted it leisurely.

Suddenly, amid the sound of clinking glasses, there was a loud banging on the door of the small western-style building.

Along with it came the woman's shrill cry: "Help! Is there anyone who can save me? Help!"

Everyone at the table who were eating and drinking was stunned.

The next second, the shouting disappeared.

As if it had never appeared.
