Chapter 104: The boy who died of depression due to forced love (5)
Looking at the cuckoo in front of me,
Xu Ningning understood why reality was different from dreams.
"Auntie, you changed all this, didn't you?"
Du Juan did not answer, but took a sip of coffee, then looked at Xu Ningning calmly, "It was just a dream, wasn't it?"
Xu Ningning's body stiffened, not quite understanding what Du Juan meant.
Du Juan ignored the doubt in Xu Ningning's eyes and continued to speak calmly,
"Since it's just a dream, forget it!"
"Zhang Hao is living a good life now. He has like-minded friends and a career he is proud of. In a few years, he will have a wife who shares his ideals with him and give birth to a lively and lovely child. This is what Zhang Hao's parents want to see the most, and it is also what Zhang Hao is willing to work hard for, isn't it?"
Xu Ningning stared at Du Juan, who had a faint smile on her face. She seemed to understand something in her heart, but she didn't quite understand it. However, she understood about Zhang Hao.
Perhaps, it is best for each other for them to be well in this life!
Xu Ningning smiled with relief, "Auntie, don't worry, I won't be with Zhang Hao in this life. After graduating from university, I will study abroad. This is my dream, so I will continue to work hard for my dream this time!"
Looking at the girl in front of him with a bright smile, Du Juan smiled, this time it was a sincere smile, "You are good, you will succeed!"
After saying that, Du Juan left the cafe.
Xu Ningning sat there, looking at the hustle and bustle outside the window and smiled. Dreams are just dreams after all, aren't they?
Later, Xu Ningning completely put Zhang Hao behind her and continued to absorb relevant professional knowledge like a sponge.
In her junior year, when the school recommended exchange students, Xu Ningning got the spot and began to lay the foundation for her future studies abroad.
As for Zhang Hao, he and Gu Xuan are already rising stars in Beijing's business community.
Five years later,
"Xiaoxuan, you are almost 30, isn't it time to find a wife?"
Du Juan, who had already retired early, and Zhang Weimin moved to Beijing at the request of their son and godson.
From then on, Gu Xuan had a place to eat for free and also enjoyed the same pressure to get married as other older young men.
Gu Xuan was already used to his godmother's urging for marriage. He gnawed on the sweet and sour pork ribs in his hand and said vaguely, "Godmother, I'm busy with company matters every day. How can I have time to find a partner? Why don't you introduce one to me?"
After being urged so many times, Gu Xuan also figured out a way to deal with it and just passed the matter back to Du Juan.
As expected, Du Juan glared at her, "You just want to bluff me. Haven't I introduced you to enough girls? Every time you said yes, yes, yes, yes, but in the end, you either stood them up or didn't find anyone you liked after all your efforts! I don't care, you have to bring me a wife by next year at the latest!"
Seeing that his godmother had issued an ultimatum, Gu Xuan looked at Zhang Hao, who was grinning while gnawing on the ribs, and began to shift the blame, "Godmother, I will definitely bring you a wife, but Xiaohao is almost old, isn't it time for him to find a wife?"
Damn, you have no martial ethics!
Zhang Hao bit the pork ribs and glared at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan smiled ingratiatingly. There was no other way but to help his brother share the burden of the war!
Unfortunately, the calculation was wrong.
Du Juan glanced at her silly son and said matter-of-factly, "Don't worry, Xiaohao. He is six years younger than you. It doesn't matter if he waits a few years!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and laughed!
Gu Xuan was almost choked and started coughing repeatedly. He was too careless and forgot that this kid skipped a grade to go to university!
Seeing that Gu Xuan's face was red from coughing, Du Juan quickly scooped a bowl of soup for him to drink.
Zhang Hao gloated and said, "Yeah, brother, I'm several years younger than you, you're the one who's most anxious!"
Looking at his younger brother who was gloating over his misfortune, Gu Xuan felt that the ribs in his mouth were not delicious at all.
Zhang Weimin didn't say a word the whole time. He just kept picking up food for his wife and watching the show.
Gu Xuan swallowed the soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and looked at Du Juan flatteringly, "Godmother, don't worry, I will definitely bring your daughter-in-law back to you next year!"
Speaking of this, a figure suddenly flashed through Gu Xuan's mind. Perhaps he should be braver.
Zhang Hao, who was standing next to him, looked at the way Gu Xuan was trying to please his mother and smiled unkindly.
Gu Xuan didn't care about the thought that just flashed through his mind. He looked at his adopted brother who had no brotherly love and said with a sinister smile, "Speaking of Xiaohao, godmother, although Xiaohao is younger than me, you have to find a wife as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will easily become an older young person like me, and you will have to worry about him again."
Du Juan took a bite of the prawns that her husband had peeled and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, this boy's blooming period is actually only a few years. If you wait too long, he will be worthless. Haohao, you have to hurry up and get the right one as soon as possible!"
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at his unscrupulous elder brother who was laughing secretly with his hands covering his mouth, then looked at his mother in a servile manner, "Empress Dowager, don't worry, I will definitely bring you another daughter-in-law as soon as possible!"
Seeing that her son was so sensible, Du Juan nodded and said, "Good luck!"
On this side, Zhang Hao glared at Gu Xuan one after another.
Seeing his adopted brother feeling uncomfortable, Gu Xuan's appetite increased. "Godmother, another bowl of rice!"
Zhang Hao looked at his shameless appearance and broke the bone in his mouth with a "crack".
Du Juan and Zhang Weimin watched the two brothers love and hate each other with a smile. Isn't this more interesting than a TV drama?
Two silly boys!
Time seemed to have boarded a spaceship and slipped away in a flash.
It's autumn again...
Today is Gu Xuan's big day.
He fulfilled his promise to Dujuan and brought his wife home the next year.
This wife is none other than her classmate who followed him and Zhang Hao when they started the company.
A very quiet girl, a little introverted, spends most of her time with her head down, working silently.
However, when Gu Xuan wanted to find someone to accompany him for the rest of his life, she was the first person he thought of.
Fortunately, the ending was good. The two were in love with each other, but one of them was slow to realize it, and the other was timid and shy, so they wasted several years before they finally got together!
At the wedding, Zhang Hao was the best man and the bride-to-be was the bride-to-be. The wedding date has also been set. Next spring, when the flowers bloom, they will enter the marriage hall.
Offstage, Du Juan and Zhang Weimin were holding hands and looking at the two talented and beautiful couples on stage, feeling very pleased...
