Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Wasn't that Cao Xiangyang we were just talking about?

Why did Father bring up Liu Jia?

Furthermore, he said Liu Jia is also excellent. What does that mean?

A hint of doubt flashed in Guo Xiaoyan's eyes as she looked at Guo Zhiyuan again.

"Dad, is Liu Jia... also outstanding?"

It's no wonder Guo Xiaoyan asked that question.

It's simply because Guo Zhiyuan's words were so absurd.

Everyone in the world loves their own child.

Guo Xiaoyan even remembers that when she was in school, a parent once said that when it comes to growing crops, everyone else's crops are always better, but when it comes to children, everyone always thinks their own children are the best.

Let's not talk about myself first.

Guo Xiaoyan was not surprised to hear her father acknowledge their good qualities, as her older sister Guo Xiaolan and older brother Guo Jianjun were indeed very good.

But why are we talking about Liu Jia?

Moreover, what the father said was a definite statement.

The scene that happened at the Construction Supply and Marketing Cooperative flashed through Guo Xiaoyan's mind, and she even frowned.

If his father knew all that Liu Jia had done, would he still be so sure of Liu Jia?

Seeing Guo Xiaoyan looking at him with a puzzled expression, Guo Zhiyuan smiled.

"To truly understand a person, sometimes you need to look at one event, and sometimes you need to let time work its magic. Child, you are still young, and you know too little about Liu Jia."

Having just finished saying these intriguing words, Guo Zhiyuan then waved his hand.

"Alright, go ahead and do your work. Dad still has some work to do."

"Okay, I understand, Dad. I'll go out now."

Guo Xiaoyan finished speaking politely before turning to leave.

Was his father's words just now a reminder that Liu Jia wasn't as bad as he had initially said?

Finally, Guo Xiaoyan sighed.

Since there are some questions we can't figure out, let's leave them to time.

At least this is one way.

……

“Son, cheer up. Don’t you like Guo Xiaoyan? I promise you, no matter what it takes, I will make sure you get what you want.”

“I went to see her father today to make a scene first. Now, everyone in the office knows about you and Guo Xiaoyan.”

"Don't worry, son. Public opinion is a powerful force. When the time comes, their family will be forced to agree to the marriage by public pressure. Just wait for the good news!"

Cao Xiangyang was expressionless, his whole being lifeless.

At the bedside.

Cao Zhongsheng's eyes almost lit up.

When recounting the events in detail, Cao Zhongsheng felt like a hero charging into battle, unstoppable.

They did not witness the events of that time.

At that time, he was so talented that anyone who didn't know him would think he was a professor at the school and would never associate him with the head of the sales department.

That look was absolutely stunning!

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Cao Zhongsheng realized something.

Over here, he was talking animatedly, spittle flying everywhere, full of fighting spirit.

The son opposite him remained unmoved.

Even though she was staring at him intently, the child acted as if he didn't see her at all.

"Xiangyang, what's wrong? I've already said everything. Don't you have anything to say?"

Cao Zhongsheng didn't even blink when he was being questioned.

at last.

Cao Xiangyang slowly turned his head and said quietly, "What you're doing will backfire."

"What? Backfired? How could that be? Your father planned this carefully. I went there today specifically to find out that Professor Guo has a class today."

"Also, I went when there were the most people, so that word would spread quickly and everyone would know about Guo Xiaoyan and you."

"You say it backfired? Do you think they're going to sue us? Even if they did, they have no evidence!"

As he spoke, Cao Zhongsheng laughed again.

Outsiders call me an old fox, which sounds unpleasant, but there's some truth to it.

Cao Zhongsheng himself doesn't believe that his rise from a lowly salesman to the position of sales manager was solely due to luck.

When necessary, some tactics or even methods may be required.

Even Cao Zhongsheng never imagined that one day he would use his energy to deal with some intellectuals.

I've never done something like this before.

However, since her son likes Guo Xiaoyan, she has to help him fulfill this wish no matter what.

Cao Zhongsheng was in a daze.

Cao Xiangyang's voice came through again.

"Guo Xiaoyan is very stubborn, and her father is also a very upright person. Using this method might only provoke Guo Xiaoyan's rebellious mentality."

"Rebellious? Then she won't be in charge anymore! She'll be pointed at and talked about wherever she goes. How can that feel good? Haven't you heard? People can drown you in their spittle!"

Cao Zhongsheng did not say the rest.

It's not a good thing for a young woman to have something like this spread, no matter how you look at it.

Although free love is now advocated, people's views are still somewhat outdated.

Young people probably won't say anything.

But older people will definitely look at her with a strange gaze.

Moreover, Guo Xiaoyan is a little different from other girls.

That is, Guo Xiaoyan is divorced.

To put it more bluntly, Guo Xiaoyan was not only helpless, but also had to endure some accusations that were not true.

By then, where would they find the will to rebel?

Cao Zhongsheng was confident about the outcome.

As for how to explain Guo Xiaoyan's engagement to Cao Xiangyang, that's a matter for later.

At most, he would say it was just a momentary impulse.

Then we can give Guo Xiaoyan a proper compliment!

If he really had to say something, Cao Zhongsheng only regretted that his son hadn't told him about it sooner.

If Cao Xiangyang had told Guo Xiaoyan about it earlier, would you have needed to go through all this trouble?

I could easily give him a suggestion and he could marry Guo Xiaoyan!

As the thought flashed through his mind, a hint of disappointment returned to Cao Zhongsheng's eyes.

If that's the case, the Cao family might already have descendants.

Now that Cao Xiangyang's character is set, even if he marries a wife, she'll just be a figurehead.

"Alas, it was too late after all."

Cao Zhongsheng muttered to himself.

This time, Cao Xiangyang picked up where he left off.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

After realizing something was wrong, Cao Zhongsheng quickly shook his head.

"It's alright, it's alright. Dad is thinking about what happened between you and Guo Xiaoyan. You should focus on recovering. We can settle the score slowly, there's no rush."

Cao Xiangyang didn't speak, but his teeth were grinding together.

That's right.

You can't eat a whole steamed bun in one bite.

The accounts must be settled one by one!

I will definitely get back what they owe me!

The image of Liu Jia flashed through Cao Xiangyang's mind, and he narrowed his eyes once again.

……

When Liu Jia and Liu Jianye arrived at the hospital, it was already past nine o'clock.

When Liu Jianye arrived at the hospital, he was dumbfounded.

I was so anxious that I forgot to ask Cui Hongmei which room she was in.

We have to search room by room. How long will it take?

"Second brother, let's go! Why aren't you moving?"

Liu Jia looked at Liu Jianye, wishing he could grab his hand and walk forward.

In Liu Jia's view, Liu Jianye must be panicking.

After all, his beloved woman was here, and he didn't know how badly she was injured. Liu Jianye probably scared himself.

"Second brother, don't panic. Since she's still in the hospital, nothing serious will happen. Let's see your wife first."

Liu Jia's words gave Liu Jianye a sense of security.

But seeing the medical staff in white coats and masks still made Liu Jianye a little nervous.

"Sanzi, am I spineless? I dare not go any further. Tell me, how much does it hurt to jump off the roof? How could Hongmei be so foolish?"

At this point, Liu Jianye could no longer hold back, biting his lip tightly as tears streamed down his face.

Liu Jia felt a pang of pain in his heart.

They say that men don't shed tears easily, but they are not sad yet.

My second brother and Cui Hongmei had a very good relationship, which is why he agreed to let me call her sister-in-law even before she was officially married into the family.

This time, Liu Jianye was really angry about the increased bride price. He couldn't understand why Cui Hongmei would send a matchmaker to their house without consulting him beforehand, when they were so compatible.

It wasn't until he heard that Cui Hongmei had jumped off the roof and been hospitalized that Liu Jianye understood what had happened.

I had wronged Cui Hongmei.

The thought of Cui Hongmei's injury now causes Liu Jianye's heart to ache as if it were being stabbed.

“This is my fault. I shouldn’t have distrusted Hongmei. When my matchmaker came, I should have gone to Hongmei to ask her directly instead of waiting for her to come to me.”

"Sanzi, do you think if I had gone to find her earlier, this whole thing wouldn't have happened?"

"I regret it so much now, I wish I could be the one suffering instead. Tell me, why was I so stubborn back then?"

Liu Jianye burst into tears.

"Second brother, quickly wipe your tears. If your wife sees you like this, she'll feel even worse. Have you forgotten why we came here?"

Liu Jia wanted Liu Jianye to vent his frustrations, but now was not the time.

Cui Hongmei is currently hospitalized. If her second brother goes there in this state, it will only cause greater emotional turmoil for Cui Hongmei.

This is a testament to true love, but it's detrimental to Cui Hongmei's injuries.

Liu Jia analyzed the current situation, and Liu Jianye nodded in agreement, finally wiping away a tear.

"Sanzi, I'm so confused right now, I don't know what to do. I'll listen to you, let's go see Hongmei right now."

Upon learning that Liu Jianye had not found out which room Cui Hongmei was staying in, Liu Jia went to the on-duty doctor to inquire.

The on-duty doctor kept staring at Liu Jia, his expression full of questions.

"Doctor, it's like this, the person hospitalized is my fiancée. After we found out about the situation, my brother and I came here together. Could you please check which room she's in?"

"sister in law?"

"Yes, it's my second sister-in-law, Cui Hongmei from Cuijiazhuang. She just moved in last night because she injured her leg."

Liu Jia tried to explain the situation in as much detail as possible.

The doctor looked at Liu Jia, then at Liu Jianye beside him, and finally opened the record book.

"Cui Hongmei, Cui Family Village, legs..."

Every word the on-duty doctor uttered made Liu Jianye's heart clench.

"Cui Hongmei, the room at the far east end of the first row."

After finding out where Cui Hongmei lived, Liu Jia thanked her and then led Liu Jianye straight to the easternmost end.

Liu Jianye's legs felt weak, but he couldn't stop Liu Jia from striding forward.

After being half-dragged and half-pulled a few steps, Liu Jianye gritted his teeth.

"Third son, your second brother is going all out. Feeling sorry for me won't help. I have to see Hongmei as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, my heart was in my throat.

Seeing that Liu Jianye had finally come to his senses, Liu Jia urged again, "Second Brother, I'm relieved that you think this way. Let's hurry up and get the ball over there; your wife is waiting for you."

The easternmost ward.

Cui Hongmei lay on the hospital bed, her face pale and her eyes tightly closed.

Beside her, Hongmei kept sniffing and blaming herself.

"Tell me, why are you so reckless? You've been stubborn since you were little, but your stubbornness is misguided. I said a few words to you and you jumped off the roof. Do you want to die?"

"Do you know how hard it was for us? We scrimped and saved to raise you, and you turn out to do this to us."

As she spoke, Hongmei rolled her eyes.

Just as I was about to continue my rant, someone suddenly shouted from the doorway.

"Red Plum!"
