My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 213 Gu Yingzhou: Do you really think the young lady has no one to rely on?

Chapter 213: 213 Gu Yingzhou: Do you really think the young lady has no one to rely on?

Gu Yingzhou saw his great-nephew grinning foolishly and shot Su Zheng a glance before patting the kid’s little head.

"If you’re happy, that’s what matters."

They say a nephew takes after his uncle.

His own great-nephew was being foolish, not that he bore any resemblance to him—not even remotely.

When husband and wife work together, the job gets done effortlessly. In no time at all, Gu Ren came out of the kitchen with the dishes.

Two dishes and a soup, both meat and vegetables included.

"Yingzhou, dinner’s ready," Gu Ren called out.

The nickname "Zhouzhou" was something she only used when they were alone.

After all, her younger brother was growing up and was beginning to care about his image.

Gu Yingzhou’s dark eyes glanced at Gu Ren.

He nodded slightly and went to have his meal.

He sat up straight, his eating quick yet graceful, like a noble young master who had stepped out from a family with a millennia of heritage.

When silent, his face could be quite intimidating.

Handsome and lofty, he had an air of refined elegance.

Gu Yingzhou finished his meal quickly, and Su Qi, knowing his way around, went to clean up the kitchen.

Gu Ren sat beside Gu Yingzhou, her tone full of concern.

"Honestly, how’s your assignment going? Why did you come back to Provincial City all of a sudden? Nothing’s gone wrong, has it?"

Gu Yingzhou’s expression was calm, and his gaze was deep and piercing.

His long legs slightly bent, he casually rested his slender, jade-like hands on his knee.

There was an air of calm composure and steadiness that one has when adept at strategizing.

"Nothing’s wrong! I just came over to take care of some business, and I’ll be heading back in a couple of days," he answered composedly.

Gu Yingzhou had taken on the task of setting up a branch of the Machinery Factory.

The factory was already under construction.

Since it was directly related to the military, the news had not been spread yet.

His trip to Provincial City this time was to resolve the issue of transferring technicians.

Seeing her brother’s calm and collected demeanor, Gu Ren knew she had been overthinking things.

How could this cunning devil possibly run into trouble?

"...It’s good that you’re fine," Gu Ren said.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Qi came out of the kitchen.

Gu Ren still had half a book she wanted to read. She gestured for her husband to keep her brother company while she curled up in the corner to continue reading.

Gu Yingzhou’s brow furrowed.

Before he could voice his dissatisfaction, Su Qi spoke up.

"Your sister knows what she’s doing and will rest when it’s time."

He wouldn’t stand by and watch his wife work herself to ill health.

Gu Yingzhou eased his mind, noticing the weariness on Su Qi’s face and asked with concern, "How are you two doing? Your complexion seems off. Work never ends, make sure to get some rest."

The dark circles under his eyes could rival the coal burning in a stove!

"You noticed..." Su Qi’s gaze darkened.

"Because of an article, there’s been some trouble at the newspaper. The higher-ups are at a standstill with our two chief editors..."

"The new edition of the newspaper hasn’t been finalized yet. Although we’re determined to hold our ground, it’s ultimately our fault that the paper didn’t go to press on time..."

He knew that the article, which was not a whistleblower submission, would surely ruffle some feathers.

But—

Isn’t it the duty of us media people to seek the truth, to correct the chaos, to clear the tarnish from our land?

Expecting him to know the truth but not report it, to break his spine?

Sorry, it wasn’t just him; aside from the one in a thousand rotten ones, most reporters and editors were unwilling.

Gu Yingzhou’s finger tapping on his knee paused.

It reminded him of the young girl making a phone call at the Post Office.

Could there be any connection between the two?

"What kind of article was it?" he asked casually.

Su Qi’s face darkened, his voice laced with disgust and sarcasm, "... University admission spots being stolen."

It was less of a whistleblower letter and more a cry of injustice from children of peasants.

For a rural family to put a child through university by farming alone, one could imagine how difficult it was.

And yet there were those selfish and shameless individuals, ruining others’ futures for personal gain, utterly despicable!

Gu Yingzhou’s eyes suddenly turned frosty, the cold light in his deep, dark pupils forming a solid sheet.

Turning into icy slag.

"Publish it, and I’ll take the fall if anything happens," the man said in a cool and measured tone.

The depths of his eyes were an unfathomable ink darkness.

It seemed like just for a moment, Gu Yingzhou remembered the first time he met Lin Tang.

The frail young girl had a smile in her eyes, her face showing a trace of pallor, looking somewhat sickly.

It was hard to believe that a young girl who had seen society’s darkness could still smile at life.

Then he recalled the second time he encountered her.

The young girl stood on a ladder.

With the movement of her fingers, powerful words were revealed.

Beautiful yet with a strength that pierced through her pride, just like her.

So strong it was heart-wrenching.

A fleeting ripple passed through the bottom of Gu Yingzhou’s heart, and a subtle surprise flickered in his eyes.

"The newspaper isn’t anyone’s personal sounding board, readers will make their own judgments about right and wrong.

There won’t be a problem as long as the reporting is truthful!"

Thinking of the investigation team in Jing City moving like an undercurrent, his eyes suddenly deepened.

"To be so brazen during such unusual times, I truly admire their courage," Gu Yingzhou’s low and pleasant voice carried a bit of sarcasm.

It was as if he was laughing at some people courting death.

Su Qi’s eyes lit up, watching him intently, "Did you get some news?"

His brother-in-law was always well-informed, perhaps he heard something?

"You see to it, brother Qi," said Gu Yingzhou. "What you’re worried about won’t happen."

Gu Yingzhou’s lips curved slightly, his slightly narrowed eyes were like a calm sea surface, under which rolled layers of huge waves.

By the time the newspaper was published, those people would be in hot water, too busy to cause trouble...

Did they really think the young girl had no support and could be bullied by anyone?

Thinking of Lin Tang, the man’s dark eyes brimmed with a touch of mirth.

Quite daring.

Su Qi clenched his right hand into a fist and hit it into the palm of his left hand, the confusion between his eyebrows completely disappearing.

"Good, we’ll set the layout tomorrow."

He had never thought of compromising in the first place.

His brother-in-law’s words were just like pouring gasoline on a small flame in the wilderness.

Then, boom—

Just waiting for a favorable wind, and it would burn everything upside down, turning the world on its head.

Gu Yingzhou picked up his teacup, taking a light sip of the refreshing Tieguanyin tea.

The steam concealed his deep black eyes, making his expression unreadable.

"Don’t forget to get me a few copies when the newspaper is out," he suddenly said.

Su Qi hummed in acknowledgment, puzzled, "Don’t you have them on your side?"

The influence of their newspaper wasn’t too extensive, but neither was it small.

Gu Yingzhou’s slender fingers clenched into a fist, resting against his lips as he gave a light cough.

"Cough..."

"I just want to see it earlier."

Even samples would do.

He appeared indifferent, as if he had mentioned it in passing.

Yet, Su Qi felt something was off.

After looking at Gu Yingzhou several times and finding no discrepancies, he decided to let it go.

Gu Ren was reading a book on the side, but that did not mean she was oblivious to the world outside.

After listening to her husband and her brother’s conversation, she scoffed, "Some people live in high towers, born and raised inside like delicate flowers until death; while others are born in the wilderness, struggling to live, only to end up covered in mud.

Where is the fairness in that? They’re all just sacrifices to power and influence."

The woman’s tone held weariness and irony.

Gu Yingzhou sipped at his thin lips.

After a while, his crisp voice finally rose.

"If you were born and live in a high tower, what more could you be dissatisfied with?"

Gu Ren felt a stab in her heart, "..."

That hit where it hurt.

Su Qi looked at the woman, his face full of indulgent smiles.

-

Elsewhere.

Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing successfully entered the factory.

Both of them gradually got used to the work rhythm of the factory.
