Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 716: I Am Here to Surrender

Don’t look now, but even though Gu Xiyue is Mrs. Gu’s own daughter, you can tell Mrs. Gu doesn’t really care much about her.

Maybe she’s just grown cold.

As the rightful young lady of the Gu Family, Gu Xiyue should not have ended up in her current predicament.

But who’s fault is it that the young miss has always been so clueless since she was little?

And to think she got on so well with Jiang Qiu?

Jiang Qiu is the woman who has always been trying to steal Mrs. Gu’s man, and even gave birth to an illegitimate child because of it.

Just for these two reasons alone, Mrs. Gu absolutely sees Jiang Qiu as a thorn in her side.

It’s somewhat fair, though, for while Jiang Qiu enticed Gu Xiyue away, her own son has grown closer to Mrs. Gu and never showed the slightest interest in acknowledging Jiang Qiu.

And now, with Jiang Qiu poisoning Mrs. Gu, she’s really asking for her own demise.

The fact that Mrs. Gu sent Gu Cheng to meet with Jiang Ye shows that the mother-son relationship hasn’t been affected at all, but rather, it’s not about blood, but who acts like family!

Twenty years... You’d get attached to a dog, let alone a person who’s been calling you "Mom" since they were little.

"Does Mrs. Gu have any plans?"

"Mother says if your Jiang Family isn’t planning to clean house, then she will step in.

At that time, please don’t interfere too much."

Tch Tch.

Just as I thought.

Jiang Ye began to seriously think, and a few seconds later, looking up again:

"Gu Cheng, are you sure your decision won’t change?"

These things could really happen.

After all, the nature of blood ties are sometimes hard to explain.

Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng laughed.

"Brother Ye, I’ve only had one mother my whole life. My mother has always been good to me, never neglected me, and gave me the best education and tolerance. I feel very honored and blessed to have such a mother.

As for anything else, it has nothing to do with me."

With that one sentence, he completely dismissed any relationship with Jiang Qiu.

One has to admit that Gu Cheng, despite his young age, is quite decisive.

Of course, that couldn’t have been without years of careful guidance from Mrs. Gu.

In contrast, Gu Xiyue was just spoiled by Mr. Gu and Jiang Qiu, wasn’t she?

Only at this point did Jiang Ye’s face finally ease up, and he even smiled:

"You’ve made the right choice." He said to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng certainly understood the meaning of Jiang Ye’s words and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ye, Doctor Lu, let’s eat."

Now that everything was settled, why not eat?

Now, we’re all in the same boat.

Jiang Ye tilted his head:

"Wife, order whatever you like."

It was then that Lu Jing spoke up:

"I’ve already ordered."

Just at that moment, the waiter brought in the food.

The three of them stopped discussing these matters. Lu Jing didn’t really have a chance to butt in, while the two men intermittently chatted about business.

....

By the end of the meal, Lu Jing was stuffed.

Both Jiang Ye and Gu Cheng, two grown men, hardly ate; they would probably be hungry again in less than two hours.

Who knew why these two suddenly hit it off so well. They got so absorbed in their conversation that they hardly touched their food.

But Lu Jing couldn’t be bothered to care too much; it’s not like she was dealing with a three-year-old child.

When they left the private restaurant, Gu Cheng called out with a smile:

"Brother Ye, Doctor Lu, let me give you a ride."

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes:

"No need."

Then he took Lu Jing to their car parked not too far away.

"Get in."

"Oh."

The couple didn’t even turn to look back as they left.

It was Gu Cheng who watched them drive off, only then picking up his phone to make a call:

"Mom, everything’s settled. Have you had lunch?" he asked.
