Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 228: Weathering the Storm Together with the Yu Family

Gu Jin cursed inwardly in a not-so-elegant manner, realizing now that there are other cultivators in the world. She understood that in this era when the internet was not yet developed, it would be easy for those people to find her.

She then raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at the two Yu family father and son before her, her dark eyes cold and piercing, and her voice no longer gentle: "Mr. Yu, you knew the situation long ago, but only now you tell me. Wouldn’t I become the target when things happen?"

Before Old Mr. Yu could speak, Yu Qingli replied, "We only realized that Miss Gu was still selling grain elsewhere, and in considerable quantities, after shipping a hundred tons of grain to Beijing. We mentioned this to Xiao Hai, considering meeting you someday, but never intended to make you bear all the responsibility alone."

They themselves had benefited from Gu Jin’s generosity and could not repay kindness with ingratitude.

Gu Jin’s lips curled slightly; it was unclear if she believed Yu Qingli’s words.

Observing the girl’s half-smiling expression, Yu Qingli realized her skepticism, his expression helpless: "Actually, ever since Xiao Hai came into contact with Miss Gu, we have been involved together; saying we are in it together would not be an exaggeration.

Now, since we’re discussing this matter, Miss Gu can share your thoughts. After all, the Yu family is indebted to you. As long as you don’t want anyone to find out, I will handle all traces thoroughly—not completely clean, but assuredly without suspicion on Miss Gu, nor disrupt your life."

This was the outcome Gu Jin wanted. What she sought now was peace for the next few years, not wanting anyone to disturb her stable life.

As for Yu Qingli’s talk of being in it together, forcefully involving her with the Yu family, she felt no particular emotion.

Thinking that in two years, the Zhen family would come to find her, and Beijing still being the gathering place for many cultivators, three years later she would have to take an exam at Beijing University, Gu Jin vaguely felt her peaceful days might be short-lived.

"I do not want anyone to disrupt my peaceful life, and I won’t do anything suspicious in the future. I would be grateful if Mr. Yu could help handle this matter."

"Miss Gu, you are too kind. It’s only right."

Yu Qingli’s voice was gentle, his attitude friendly.

After thinking for a moment, he informed Gu Jin: "To cleanly handle this matter, we’ll definitely need someone capable to step up. The Yu family has already sent a hundred tons of grain to Beijing; I intend for the Yu family to take the lead when the time comes, and the accolades will also be taken by the Yu family, which is unavoidable.

If Miss Gu wants any compensation, feel free to ask. After all, we benefited first. Whatever Miss Gu requests, the entire Yu family will do their utmost to fulfill."

Gu Jin waved off the suggestion: "No need, as long as no one can disturb my peace."

"Knock knock..."

Yu Qingli was about to say something more when someone knocked on the door.

Old Mr. Yu gestured to the guard by the door, who then opened it to reveal a young man standing outside.

"Young Master."

Yu Shuo nodded slightly to the guard and stepped into the room.

The moment he entered, what caught Yu Shuo’s attention first was the striking appearance and distinguished bearing of the young duo seated on the sofa.

His eyes flashed with admiration; he had seen good-looking people before, but the two on the sofa, both in appearance and bearing, were extremely captivating.

Seeing the two also looking his way, Yu Shuo promptly regained a composed mask, offering a distant yet friendly smile, politely diverting his gaze.
