Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time!-Chapter 985 - Pretending to Pull Herself Together

985 Pretending to Pull Herself Together

Hu Guo was actually able to use this matter as a bargaining chip to act pitiful. She could be considered to have no bottom line.

Seeing how sad her granddaughter was, Elder Hu patted Hu Guo’s shoulder and comforted her, “It’s all in the past. It’s all in the past!”

Old Master Zhou sighed softly. He could not do anything about the matters in the army.

Everyone’s background in the army was carefully studied. Once something bad happened, there would only be one result.

Even Old Master Zhou was helpless.

Seeing the heartache in Old Master Zhou’s eyes, Hu Guo quickly pretended to be very hardworking.

However, she only wanted to win Old Master Zhou’s favor with these things. After all, Old Master Zhou was the most authoritative person in the Zhou family.

If she could be with Zhou Lin, she would have to listen to old Master Zhou.

Thinking of this, Hu Guo quickly patted his chest and vowed, “Grandpa Zhou, don’t worry! Although that incident dealt a blow to me, I’ve already pulled myself together.”

“I’m planning to work at my sister’s company. I’m going to use work to enrich myself and get out of my current state.” Hu Guo thought about it, trying to use her words to establish a positive image in front of old master Zhou.

After all, the Zhou family’s culture was there, not to mention that Zhou Lin was from the army. If she had a soft and weak appearance, Old Master Zhou would naturally not like it.

These actions were all to pave the way for her to enter the Zhou family in the future.

“Oh? You want to go to big sister’s place?” Old Master Zhou was a little surprised.

Old Master Zhou knew a little about Hu Qian. She seemed to have some ties with Yun Xi.

Yun Xi had also been to the company there. Hu Guo’s motive was probably not that simple.

“Yes, Grandpa Zhou.” Hu Guo quickly nodded, thinking that old Master Zhou was also interested in him.

“No one on my sister’s side knows me, and no one knows what happened to me before, so it can help me forget the unpleasant things faster and avoid all those gossip. Of course, my sister and Yun Xi are friends. I can see Yun Xi more if I go.”

It sounded nice, but in reality, she just wanted to get close to Yun Xi and Zhou Lin through Hu Qian.

Of course, her main purpose was still Zhou Lin. Seeing Yun Xi was just an excuse. Her real purpose was to find a chance to get rid of Yun Xi.

Just as the three of them were talking, the door to the ward opened, and the person who entered was Yun Xi.

“Look, Yun Xi has arrived just as we’re talking!” Old Master Hu said jokingly.

Yun Xi, who had just entered, was confused. Had they mentioned her in the ward just now?

Yun Xi was not the only one who entered. Zhou Lin followed closely behind.

Hu Guo’s face had already drooped when she saw Yun Xi. She was the woman she hated the most.

When he saw the man behind Yun Xi, Hu Guo’s face brightened up with a smile again, and her eyes were shining.

Seeing that Hu Guo was also among them, Yun Xi could not help but be surprised. Previously, she had already fallen out with Hu Guo. Even Hu Guo’s feelings for Zhou Lin had already been exposed.

Yun Xi really did not expect that Hu Guo would still have the face to come here.

Since they had come to the ward, it was inevitable that they would meet each other. If Yun Xi could think of this, Hu Guo naturally knew it as well.

Although Yun Xi was very surprised that Hu Guo’s skin was so thick, Old Master Zhou was still sick and Yun Xi did not want to cause any trouble. She only nodded slightly and did not care about anything else.

Looking at Yun Xi’s cold expression, Hu Guo, who had always been arrogant, snorted coldly. She nodded as a form of greeting so that they would not be too embarrassed.

“Uncle Zhou, this is the soup I made for you,” Yun Xi said as she took the thermos cup from Zhou Lin’s hands.

“Uncle Zhou’s body needs to be recuperated. This soup is full of essence, so you will definitely get better quickly after drinking it.”
