Chapter 265 The So-Called Fairness
Gu Jichuan watched Gu Changgeng talking about the female comrade named Shen Ning. His usually cold and hard temperament softened a little, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. His heart was slightly touched. He cleared his throat and looked a little uncomfortable.
"Let me know in advance when you're going to bring that girl home so I can prepare a gift for her..."
Gu Changgeng was stunned and didn't respond, but he didn't refuse either.
Gu Jichuan knew that he had agreed, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He said nothing more, gave a few instructions, and walked out...
......
Gu Jichuan happened to meet Mao Lin who was walking back after getting some hot water. He took the kettle and held Mao Lin's hand, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged..."
Mao Lin shook her head slightly, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Gu Jichuan felt even more guilty. The corridor was empty and quiet at this time. The two walked side by side, speechless for a moment.
After a long while, Gu Jichuan suddenly asked, "The family's passbook has always been with you. How much money is left on it?"
Mao Lin frowned slightly, "Did something happen? Why do you suddenly need money..."
Gu Jichuan: "Chang Geng is going to bring his girlfriend to my house, I want to prepare in advance and buy a decent gift for them.
We owe this child too much. He is unwilling to accept things from me, so I can only compensate him by giving compensation to his future daughter-in-law.
I thought about it and decided that after they get married, I would give half of my savings to Chang Geng’s wife, which would be considered as making up for what I owed him over the years…”
Mao Lin's face froze immediately. "Compensation", "owe"...
The more I listened to these words, the more disgusted I became. It was clearly Ye Jin who stole my position, but in the end, I ended up being the one who owed her.
Those two old fools in the Gu family want to give the entire Gu family to that bastard Gu Changgeng. How can I make up for it? How can I make up for it!
Gu Jichuan noticed that Mao Lin's face looked strange, and he couldn't help but stop and asked with concern, "Linlin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mao Lin stared at the man in front of her and suddenly felt annoyed.
Back then, I ignored my reputation and wanted to be with him. Was it just to live this kind of ordinary and well-off life?
Gu Jichuan is a good person, but he is too proud, too aloof, and too self-righteous.
He is like a Libra, just wanting to maintain the ridiculous fairness and justice in his heart.
He gave all his love and care to himself and his children, and felt that he owed it to Gu Changgeng.
To be fair, all of the Gu family's property must be handed over to that bastard! But why didn't he ever ask me and my child if we were willing?
Now I have to give half of the savings I have accumulated over the years to that bastard! How can this be justified in the world?
These things, whether it is Gu Jilin’s people, love, or Gu family’s property, should all belong to him!
Seeing that Mao Lin was slow to speak, Gu Jichuan asked with some concern, "Are you tired from taking care of Zhenzhen and Changsheng recently? They are grown children now, so you shouldn't spoil them too much.
When Chang Geng was their age, he had already become independent..."
Facing Mao Lin's slightly pale expression, Gu Jichuan was stunned and smiled awkwardly, then asked nervously, "You don't agree?
If you think half is too much, then give me one third, no less..."
Mao Lin stared at the man who had been with her day and night for more than 20 years. He seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"You knew that Mom and Dad wanted to leave all the things in the house to Gu Changgeng, and you agreed.
Not only have you never thought about fighting for the rights that my children and I deserve, but now you are using our family savings to subsidize him. You really don't consider my feelings at all!
Why is it that the child born to Ye Jin is superior to others? All the good and fragrant things must be attached to him!
My child deserves to suffer poverty and become a poor man! "
Gu Jichuan obviously didn't expect that Mao Lin, who was always gentle and non-competitive, would say such a thing, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
“Maolin, are you crazy? Why are you bringing this up again?
All the property will be left to Ye Jin and Chang Geng. This is my compensation to them and their son. You agreed to this back then.
Besides, how can our children suffer? They have hands and feet, and we support them...”
Mao Lin sneered, “Have you ever considered our three children, who have nothing?
Changyan is about to get married. Look at the dowry your parents gave to Gu Yujiao when she got married. Then look at Zhenzhen..."
Gu Jichuan said impatiently, "I will prepare Zhenzhen's dowry. What happened to you today?"
Mao Lin sneered, her tone rising involuntarily, "How much can you prepare? How can it be the same? They are all descendants of the Gu family, but the treatment is indeed very different. Have you considered the feelings of the children?"
Gu Jichuan frowned tightly, his expression turned cold, "You can't have it all. These are the prices I should pay for divorcing Ye Jin back then...
Mao Lin, you are not calm now, I will go back to work first. Think about it carefully..."
Mao Lin looked at Gu Jichuan's back without any reluctance, and her eyes became resentful...
When Gu Yujiao woke up, she was still in a daze and unable to recover.
Until Mao Lin gently stroked her hair and said, "Jiaojiao, are you feeling better?"
Gu Yujiao didn't say anything, but tears rolled down her eyes. After a long time, she couldn't help crying with trembling lips, "Sister-in-law, he lied to me, he lied to me!"
Mao Lin patted her back and comforted her, "It's all over, and everything will be fine! When I knew your brother was going to marry Ye Jin, I felt like the sky was falling, just like you. But I still made it through..."
Gu Yujiao cried, she held Mao Lin's hand tightly, "This is different, it's different.
My brother loves you, and finally you got rid of that woman Ye Jin, and you lived happily together.
But Yuan Shan is different. If we don’t save him, he will die! He will really die!
I have already asked, unless you actively return the stolen goods, there is only a glimmer of hope. Sister-in-law, please help me, lend me some money..."
Mao Lin immediately pulled her hand away, feeling extremely angry. She thought that this brother and sister must be mentally ill.
One of them is hypocritically noble and doesn't even fight for the family property. One of them is greedy and never stops. One of them both asks me for money, but I don't run a bank, so how much savings can I have?
When Gu Yujiao got married, the Gu family gave her a lot of dowry. How could she be so rich that she still needed to borrow money from me?
Mao Lin couldn't control her hatred towards the old couple of the Gu family. She didn't love her own legitimate son and daughter-in-law, but was very generous to Gu Yujiao, the married daughter, and Ye Jin, the crazy woman.
It was not easy to kill Ye Jin, but those things had to be left to the bastard born by Ye Jin.
The cold treatment he had suffered from the old couple of the Gu family for many years almost turned into tangible hatred in this one.
Her eyes darkened suddenly, and she suddenly held Gu Yujiao's hand again, "Jiaojiao, it's not that sister-in-law doesn't want to help you, sister-in-law really can't help you.
You also know that my parents still don’t approve of me. Your brother’s salary is high, but our family’s expenses are high, including eating and drinking. Changyan is also old enough to date, so our family is just looking for face.
Oh, unless, forget it, I can’t say this…”
Gu Yujiao stared at Mao Lin hopefully, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Sister-in-law, you said, I really have nowhere to go now..."
Mao Lin sighed, looking very embarrassed, and whispered in Gu Yujiao's ear...
