Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Love-Struck at Home 43

"Child, is this the road to Jixiang Village?"

Jiang Hongyu didn’t expect the person in the car to roll down the window and talk to him. Looking at the handsome man inside, he couldn’t help but feel envious. If his dad were like that, and they had a sedan at home, imagine how impressive that would be.

Many people in the village have made it big, even his uncle and aunt’s family. But not his dad, which made Jiang Hongyu feel quite frustrated.

"This way is Jixiang Village." Jiang Hongyu stammered a bit, feeling somewhat nervous.

The person asking was Gu Lingfei. In fact, before coming, he had already thoroughly investigated the situation in Jixiang Village, and he had even secretly conducted a paternity test with Jiang Hongyu, confirming the child was his. That’s why he came all the way here. Otherwise, why would he come to this small place again? It wasn’t a pleasant memory.

Thinking about Su Man in the photo, he felt a hint of anticipation.

He couldn’t believe this woman was still willing to wait for him. She looked even better in the photo than she did back then.

Since the other party was so willing, he might as well take her and their son with him. Su Man would be quite presentable to bring out.

The key was that her heart was with him alone.

"Kid, would you mind showing us the way?" Gu Lingfei asked again.

Jiang Hongyu didn’t expect to be able to ride in such a fancy car, and he immediately agreed.

This wealthy uncle seemed very gentle, even inviting him into the car. Imagining the other villagers seeing him, he puffed out his chest a little.

As the car drove into Jixiang Village, unfamiliar to the villagers, it attracted quite a crowd.

The car finally stopped on the road outside the Jiang Family; the road hadn’t been extended to the old Jiang house, as it was quite remote.

Jiang Hongyu got out of the car, enjoying the villagers’ attention, then hurriedly ran into the Jiang house to find Jiang Aiguo, who was still the captain now.

Because this uncle said he wanted to find the village captain of Jixiang Village.

The Jiang Family was inside, enjoying the fan and eating watermelon. Upon hearing someone was looking for him, Jiang Aiguo quickly went out.

Ah Chen also stood up and followed him,

while the others hastily cleaned up the trash in front of them.

Jiang Aiguo looked at this impressive young man in front of him, not recognizing him.

Gu Lingfei took a look at Jiang Aiguo and then at Ah Chen standing nearby. Seeing Ah Chen, he paused slightly, not expecting someone so beautiful in the village.

He hadn’t paid much attention before, since he was in Ruyi Village at the time, which was understandable.

"Captain Jiang, I’m Gu Lingfei," Gu Lingfei introduced himself. "I’m mainly here to find Su Man. She should be at the Jiang house now, right?"

Jiang Aiguo’s expression visibly changed; he remembered the name Gu Lingfei.

If it weren’t for Gu Lingfei running away, would Jiang Laoer have been able to marry Su Man? He felt somewhat annoyed.

But now that he was here, smiling politely, it wouldn’t be appropriate to drive him away.

Since he was already here, the issues between Jiang Laoer and Su Man were significant, perhaps Gu Lingfei’s appearance could be a turning point? If Laoer broke it off with Su Man, he wasn’t too old and could still find another partner with no issue.

After figuring it out, Jiang Aiguo invited him in.

"Chenchen, go call your second sister-in-law over."

Ah Chen went to the old Jiang house, where Su Man was enjoying the fan while reading novels, living a rather comfortable life.

The door was open, and she saw Ah Chen as she walked in.

"Little sister, what brings you here?" Su Man asked. She was always disgusted with Jiang Chen, hoping for Gu Lingfei’s return to get a fresh start every time.

"Gu Lingfei is back, and he’s asking for you by name," Ah Chen said. "Dad wants you to come over."

Joy burst forth in Su Man’s eyes; he was finally back!

Quickly, Su Man collected herself, assumed the expression she had practiced countless times in private, with red eyes, her whole demeanor exuding sadness.

"He’s finally come back," she said, choking up.

Ah Chen, not wanting to watch her act, turned and left.

Su Man felt a little frustrated. Jiang Chen really was annoying, not playing along at all? She originally wanted to cry for a while longer, but Jiang Chen left after delivering the message without a word.

Whatever, soon she could leave this place and live a rich woman’s life.

As soon as she entered, Su Man saw Gu Lingfei sitting there, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

"What’s the point of you coming back now?" Su Man accused with red eyes.

Gu Lingfei stood up suddenly: "I had my reasons back then, it wasn’t up to me, and I couldn’t come back."

"Su Man, now that I’m free, I’ve come to take you back. Would you still be willing?" Gu Lingfei’s face was full of deep emotion. "I’ll compensate the Jiang Family as long as you’re willing to come with me." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Su Man smiled bitterly: "I’m married, and I have children now. Are you still willing?"

She thought highly of Gu Lingfei for another reason, which was that in her past life he came back wanting to take her away, even though she was married. Standing beside him made her feel like two generations apart, very self-conscious. Torn between unwillingness and cowardice.

Men love beauty; even though he said he didn’t mind, she knew it was just temporary guilt from Gu Lingfei. After so many years, there wasn’t much left of their relationship. With her appearance, cultivating a relationship with him wasn’t realistic.

Seeing his sincerity, she told him that Jiang Hongyu was actually his child, and eventually, he took Jiang Hongyu away.

"Of course I’m willing. No matter what you’ve become, I won’t forget you. Would I have come back if I forgot you?" Gu Lingfei’s face was full of sincere emotion. "It’s a pity I couldn’t oppose my family back then. Even so, they couldn’t force me to marry, and now that I have the capability, they can’t control me anymore. Su Man, this time I can protect you."

Su Man wept, she had finally waited, finally waited.

The Jiang Family’s mood was a bit subdued, perhaps because over the years Jiang Laoer’s marriage had raised their anger threshold. They weren’t as angry as one might think, even contemplating that Gu Lingfei taking Su Man away might be a good thing.

"Captain Jiang, I want to take Su Man with me." Gu Lingfei had already moved beside Su Man, handing her a handkerchief. "I know it’s a bit unfair to Jiang Maohua, but I’ll compensate him."

"Su Man is still a daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family, what do you think you’re doing?" Chen Xiuying stared at Su Man. "Do you want to go with this man?"

Actually, she wasn’t very angry; it was good that she would leave, preventing further trouble for Laoer.

Su Man hesitated for a moment but quickly nodded: "Mom, since it was a misunderstanding back then, I want to go with him. After all, it’s better for Hongyu to grow up with his biological father. I can endure hardships, but I can’t let the child suffer."

"And although I married Brother Mao Hua, nothing happened between us. When Lingfei left, I was heartbroken and at a dead end. Brother Mao Hua helped me, thinking I might gradually grow to like him and live with him, but my heart was too small to hold another person."

The Jiang Family found it hard to describe, and Jiang Aiguo said, "Eldest Brother, go call Second Brother back; it’s up to him."

Jiang Maochuan glanced at Su Man and hurried away.

Is that really the case? Why does it seem like Su Man has been preparing for Gu Lingfei’s return all these years?

Lu Yan gently brushed Ah Chen’s palm and whispered in her ear, "Those two are quite a match."

They both seem like bad eggs.

Ah Chen smiled, lips pressed together. Her Officer Lu could also make jokes now.
