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

Why are you in such a hurry?

Zhou Fengshou asked another question.

Liu Jia hadn't reacted yet and was still smiling.

"Isn't this a good thing? Anyway, Sister Juanzi likes Zhao Xiaochao, and Zhao Xiaochao treats Sister Juanzi well. They're old enough, so they can get married when the time is right!"

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, Zhou Fengshou suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Third son, tell your uncle the truth, is there anything you're hiding from me?"

He was fine just a moment ago, but suddenly he became so tense. Liu Jia was completely confused when he saw Zhou Fengshou in front of him.

Looking at Zhou Fengshou's hands, Liu Jia asked in confusion, "Uncle Zhou, what's wrong? What am I hiding from you?"

As soon as he said it, Liu Jia suddenly realized what was going on.

Liu Jia freed one hand to slap his forehead and looked apologetically at Zhou Fengshou.

"Uncle Zhou, it was my fault. I didn't explain myself clearly."

"I was just so happy and thought that lovers would eventually get married. I didn't realize you were overthinking it."

"Don't worry, none of the nonsense you're thinking about exists."

"If your aunt feels it's too rushed, then let's postpone the wedding date until you both want to marry off your daughter, okay?"

Upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Zhou Fengshou finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just now.

I was so scared!

After regaining his senses, Zhou Fengshou smacked Liu Jia on the forehead.

"You little rascal, you almost scared Uncle Zhou to death."

"How could that be? Uncle Zhou is a man who has weathered many storms. What kind of big scene hasn't he seen? How could he possibly be scared?"

Seeing that Liu Jia was about to tease him again, Zhou Fengshou laughed along.

……

Guo family.

"It's been almost two weeks since the last family meeting. What made Dad decide to hold one today?"

Upon hearing that the meeting was to be held in the study, Guo Xiaoyan's face was filled with disbelief.

Guo Jianjun, who came to deliver the message, also curled his lip.

"How would I know? Maybe Dad felt that our family wasn't very cohesive, so he had to say something!"

"Nonsense! How is there a lack of cohesion? We never argue with anything Dad says; we're always following him."

Thinking back on the events of the past few days, Guo Xiaoyan didn't notice anything amiss.

In this home.

Whenever faced with a major decision, Guo Zhiyuan made the decision, and they never argued with their father.

That's why Guo Xiaoyan didn't understand why her father wanted to hold a family meeting.

"Maybe my sister knows something. I'll ask her when she gets back."

Guo Xiaoyan muttered to herself as she organized the documents on her desk.

Guo Jianjun smoothed his hair, spread his legs, and plopped down on the chair.

Guo Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Guo Xiaoyan could never understand the way Guo Jianjun sat in the chair.

"Can't you just sit properly in this chair? Why do you have to sit upside down? Wouldn't it be more comfortable if you hugged the back of the chair?"

"Yeah, what respectable man would sit still in a chair? It's not like it's an important occasion. I'll have to sit properly during the meeting later, so why can't I relax for a bit?"

Guo Xiaoyan was so rebuked that she couldn't say a word.

in mind.

I couldn't help but think of Liu Jia sitting in the chair.

Don't tell me yet.

Liu Jia's posture while sitting in a chair is exactly the same as Guo Jianjun's!

I'm really speechless.

Could it be that what Guo Jianjun just said has really come true?

Which decent man would sit obediently in a chair?

"What's wrong with you? Your eyes are practically spitting fire. We didn't even do it properly once, why are you so bitter and resentful?"

"Brother, why do you always try to bully me?"

Guo Xiaoyan stared straight at Guo Jianjun.

Guo Jianjun was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't say anything just now, so why did he suddenly accuse me of bullying her?

What...did I say?

While she was talking about Guo Jianjun, Guo Xiaoyan was actually thinking about her meeting with Liu Jia.

At the hospital.

She was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to argue with him, but Liu Jia was still scolding her one sentence after another.

He looked almost exactly like Guo Jianjun now.

"It's nothing, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

Originally, Guo Xiaoyan wanted to take advantage of Guo Jianjun's improper sitting posture to say a few more words.

Don't know why.

Thinking about how Liu Jiaxun looked a couple of days ago, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly felt less disgusted.

This person is really bad.

I used to live in Xili Village.

No matter what he said, Liu Jia always listened and obeyed without question, never uttering a word of dissent.

Even if he knew that what he said was unreasonable, Liu Jia would still laugh happily.

At that time, Guo Xiaoyan had only one conclusion about Liu Jia.

Useless!

No prospects!

But now, the two are divorced, and neither of them belongs to the other anymore.

Faced with Liu Jia's accusations, he realized he hadn't even started practicing yet?

What is this!

With her mind in a complete mess, when Guo Jianjun asked her a question, Guo Xiaoyan simply gave a vague answer to brush him off.

"You girls are just like that, always saying nonsensical things."

He dropped that sentence.

Guo Jianjun stretched out his leg and knocked it directly onto the back of the chair.

It's not a big deal.

The whole family went to the study.

The Guo family's study is Guo Zhiyuan's private space and also his exclusive meeting place.

Whenever there's something going on at home, the whole family goes to the study.

But this time, everyone was clearly surprised.

So as soon as he entered the door, Guo Jianjun couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, what is the topic of this meeting?"

"Don't rush, everyone sit down first."

A smile appeared on Guo Zhiyuan's face, and then he put his glasses on the table.

Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan sat on the sofa, while Guo Jianjun sat on a chair to the side.

Guo Zhiyuan sat behind the table, quietly gazing at his three children.

In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up.

The days of playing and frolicking in the yard feel like they were just yesterday.

Guo Zhiyuan sighed inwardly, and his tone became deep and serious.

"I called the three of you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

“You’ve all grown up. Lanlan and Jianjun have stable jobs, and Xiaoyan will be going back to school soon.”

"Dad wants to tell you that you should start thinking about your personal life."

"Career and personal life are equally important. You can't neglect one for the other. If you don't focus on one, your life will be affected."

Guo Zhiyuan's voice was not loud.

But after he said that, all three people present frowned.

Guo Xiaolan lowered her gaze.

I definitely won't be able to solve this problem in a short period of time.

The mess from before hasn't been sorted out yet, and I haven't gotten over Zhao Bin's shadow.

It's simply impossible for her to find another man to marry in the short term.

Guo Xiaoyan frowned even more deeply.

I've divorced Liu Jia, and I don't have a suitable replacement right now, so I'll think about it later.

Guo Jianjun seemed not to have taken Guo Zhiyuan's words to heart.

"Dad, I'm a grown man, and my career is just starting out. I want to make something of myself. Let's talk about marriage later."

Guo Zhiyuan's face immediately fell upon hearing this.

"I've been talking for so long, but you still didn't understand, did you? You need to balance your personal life and career; you can't neglect one for the other."

When he mentioned this sentence again, Guo Zhiyuan's voice became much more serious.

Guo Jianjun sighed.

"I know, but people's energy is limited, just like their brains. There's always a limited space to think about this, so it's impossible to think about that."

"I'm not afraid you won't like hearing this, but I'm still thinking that we should talk about marriage when we have some financial resources."

"Besides, there aren't any suitable girls in my eyes right now; it's hard to find one these days."

Regarding Guo Jianjun's statement about considering personal matters, Guo Jianjun first distanced himself from the issue.

Now, only Guo Xiaolan and Guo Xiaoyan remain.

Guo Zhiyuan was clear about Guo Xiaolan's situation, but he couldn't quite understand Guo Xiaoyan's.

"Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you?"

"I?"

Guo Xiaoyan stared at Guo Zhiyuan in disbelief.

I was actually tagged.

In front of my older siblings, do I have to report my personal relationship issues to my father?

Isn't that a bit embarrassing to talk about?

Just recently, Guo Xiaoyan was feeling fortunate that she had helped Guo Xiaolan come up with ideas to get rid of her emotional troubles.

It's fine now.

In the blink of an eye, it was my turn.

Guo Xiaoyan glanced awkwardly at Guo Zhiyuan, her voice barely audible.

"Dad, let's not talk about that. There's really nothing to say. I don't have a boyfriend right now, and I'm going to school anyway, so it's not the right time to think about personal matters."

"So what's going on between you and Liu Jia?"

Guo Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat.

Why are you mentioning Liu Jia again?

“Dad, Liu Jia is doing great. We haven’t been in touch much, but I heard he’s doing quite well now and has even gotten into university.”

Guo Xiaoyan heard the news that Liu Jia had received a university admission letter from Guo Jianjun.

Guo Xiaoyan did not ask in detail about Liu Jia's career development.

"Liu Jia is indeed quite good. He is young, daring, and has a promising future."

In front of the three children, Guo Zhiyuan began to praise Liu Jia.

A smile appeared on Guo Jianjun's lips.

Guo Xiaoyan frowned slightly, unable to understand for a moment what her father meant by saying that.

At first.

I discussed it with them and they agreed to divorce Liu Jia.

If they hadn't rejected Liu Jia back then, they probably wouldn't have agreed so readily.

What does it mean now?

Guo Xiaoyan's mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't even guess what her father was thinking.

"I'm telling you all this today so that you have a clear understanding of the situation."

"Also, Jianjun, you saw Liu Jia the other day. Tell him that we should meet sometime."

"Don't make it too formal, don't put any pressure on him."

The last two sentences were spoken by Guo Zhiyuan to Guo Jianjun.

"Okay, Dad, I will definitely pass on this message."

Guo Xiaoyan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Father wants to see Liu Jia, and he also wants my eldest brother to deliver a message.

what on earth is it?

Why is everything in such a mess?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can all leave now."

Guo Zhiyuan rubbed his temples, speaking with a slightly weary expression.

The three of them walked out of the study one after the other.

As soon as I left the house.

Guo Xiaoyan suddenly turned her head to look at Guo Jianjun.

Guo Jianjun gasped, his voice filled with wariness.

"What's wrong, Yan'er? You're so jumpy, you scared me."

Guo Xiaoyan glanced at Guo Jianjun in her mind.

"I should be the one saying that. Do you and Liu Jia keep in touch often?"

"Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"Don't say no. If it were really no, Dad wouldn't have let you contact Liu Jia."

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Guo Xiaoyan's words became more and more serious.

For a moment, Guo Jianjun didn't know which answer to give first.

In the end, Guo Jianjun had no choice but to beg for mercy.

"Alright, let's stop arguing in the hallway, okay? Let's go inside and talk."

Considering that this place was close to her father's study, Guo Xiaoyan had no choice but to agree.

However, his expression did not improve at all.

Judging from his older brother's expression, he's most likely hiding something from me.

Upon seeing this scene, a hint of curiosity flashed in Guo Xiaolan's eyes.

What on earth is my brother up to?

How did you end up with Liu Jia?
