Chapter 242: Advancing Status (2)
Mu Huan had never asked for fairness as this world was never fair.
Someone else was born at a level that you wouldn’t be able to achieve even after working for your whole life. What need was there to talk about fairness?
If this method didn’t work for something you want to achieve, then change your method to achieve it.
If the other method didn’t work as well, then switch to another one!
If you weren’t born as a privileged person, you must have undying resilience.
Li Meng gave it a thought and agreed, “Aish, it’s so boring. Do you want to go for hotpot tonight to kill the boredom?”
“Okay!”
In the end, Mu Huan didn’t manage to eat hotpot with Li Meng as Bao Junyan called and asked her to go home and change her clothes when they were released from school. He was going to bring her to the Gu residence in a while.
She was supposed to be eating hotpot to kill their boredom with Li Meng, but she ended up having to visit the Gu family. The fact that she had to eat with people she hated made her even more depressed.
But, as an obedient wife…
And with Bao Junyan being on such good terms with the Gu family, she’d have to meet them often. Even if she was able to escape this meeting, she still wouldn’t be able to escape the next time. She wouldn’t have any excuses not to go.
But this was the first time she was visiting the Gu residence after she got married to Bao Junyan. Although she had met Mr. and Mrs. Gu when she was in the hospital, today was considered as their first formal meeting. Thus, Mu Huan chose a proper, mature, and elegant attire.
When Bao Junyan came back and saw that she had wrapped herself up tightly with her clothes and not exposing any part of herself, he patted her head in contentment.
“Let’s go.”
“Uh-huh.”
On the way there, Bao Junyan realized that Mu Huan wasn’t really happy today. He asked, “Do you not feel like visiting the Gu family?”
“Yes,” Mu Huan replied and lowered her head.
“Chenyi’s grandfather doesn’t have much time left. When one is about to die, he’d be unwilling to leave. Kins.h.i.+p would also have become more important and he would want gatherings often. He hasn’t seen you before and really wants to meet you. Thus, you must go and visit this time. In the future, if you don’t want to go to the gatherings, you can just give it a miss.”
Bao Junyan wasn’t someone who’d force his own wife.
Mu Huan was touched by how considerate he was. “It’s alright, I don’t really hate them that much. I can understand the elderly’s feelings. Next time, I’d follow you wherever you go! Your relatives are my relatives as well!”
Although she really hated Lin Qingya and eating with her would affect her appet.i.te, for the sake of her husband, she would tolerate the hatred she had for her!
Bao Junyan patted her head and his gaze became gentler.
In the Gu family…
Old Master Gu used to be a really smart and cold-blooded person, but perhaps because he was going to die, he’d become really affable. He saw only the good in everyone, and as his great-grandson was in Lin Qingya’s tummy, he was exceptionally good to Lin Qingya even though he used to look down on her.
As his wife and father had placed much importance on Lin Qingya, although deep in his heart, he kind of looked down on her, Bao Huaiyun still treated her quite well.
Lin Qingya, who was doted on greatly in the Gu family, was really emboldened
After they finished dinner, Bao Junyan and Bao Huaiyun left for the study room as they had things to talk about.
Mrs. Gu hosted Mu Huan with tea in the living room.
“Aunt, Auntie Huan’s studies are really good. She’s the first in our cla.s.s!” Lin Qingya praised her while holding on to Mrs. Gu’s arm.
“Yes, I’ve heard. She’s the top scorer of the college entrance examination!” Mrs. Gu really liked this sister-in-law of hers.
“Oh, right, Auntie, for the past few days, I’d been on medical leave and I didn’t attend school. Thus, I have missed many lessons. Do you think I can borrow your notes to read?” Lin Qingya’s gaze had a provocation that only Mu Huan could decipher.
Do you have a choice not to lend it to me now?
