Chapter 371 Lu Yuanhuan's Side Story (End)
"Why did you come all of a sudden?"
Lu Yuanhuan looked at Gu Anping.
Gu Anping stared at Lu Yuanhuan for a long while before speaking, "My wedding with Yang Xiaoxiao is canceled. I still have two days of leave from the army, so I thought I'd come back to see my third uncle and tell you about this decision."
Lu Yuanhuan asked in surprise, "You've already talked to your father?"
Could it be that Gu Yushan said it?
Gu Anping shook his head. "No." It was Gu An'an.
But there's no need to tell Lu Yuanhuan any of this.
Lu Yuanhuan: "But didn't you like that girl from the Yang family? And now you're just breaking up like this?"
Lu Yuanhuan's worst fears came true.
In fact, she had already anticipated the consequences of either breaking up or not breaking up.
None of these were things she wanted to see, which is why she left.
Gu Anping shrugged, sat down on the stool next to him, and said, "Actually, Yang Xiaoxiao and I don't have as deep a relationship as you all think..."
At this point, Gu Anping paused for a moment.
He might not have it, but Yang Xiaoxiao...
"I just felt that it was time for me to get married, and Yang Xiaoxiao happened to be by my side, so I decided to marry her."
Yang Xiaoxiao had been standing behind him the whole time; he only needed to turn around to see her, and it was naturally her.
With the wedding canceled and the relationship severed, Gu Anping was fully aware of the harm Yang Xiaoxiao would suffer, and it was impossible for him not to feel guilty.
I knew earlier...
Since the deed has already happened, Gu Anping can only accept it.
The inside story of the two companies was somewhat unbelievable to him.
But Lu Yuanhuan is his mother, so she naturally comes first in his heart.
He apologized to Yang Xiaoxiao, and he didn't deny it.
Lu Yuanhuan sat opposite him, holding his hand with some heartache. "I don't know if you found out something, which is why we broke up, but if you really like Yang Xiaoxiao, I have no objection."
What mother doesn't love her child?
Even if it means compromising myself, it's fine.
Gu Anping smiled at her and said, "Don't worry! I'm telling the truth. I don't like Yang Xiaoxiao as much as you think. I just happen to want to get married."
If he and Yang Xiaoxiao really get married, he can spend his whole life trying to like her and cherish her.
However, given the circumstances of both families, it's clearly best to just call off the marriage.
When Gu An'an returned home from get off work yesterday, she learned that Lu Yuanhuan had gone back to Shihua Village and saw that Gu Anping had already returned home. She immediately sensed something was wrong.
After understanding the situation, she immediately told Gu Anping everything she had overheard.
After calming down, the brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment.
They really didn't expect that Lu Yuanhuan and Zhang Xiaoya would have such a feud.
While feeling sorry for Lu Yuanhuan, one naturally hates Zhang Xiaoya.
But soon after, Gu Anping realized that his relationship with Yang Xiaoxiao was impossible.
Even if Yang Xiaoxiao is innocent.
But the impossible is simply impossible.
Gu Anping has always been very decisive and efficient in his actions.
He wanted to settle down, so he started dating Yang Xiaoxiao.
As soon as they started dating, he told his family that he would go home to confirm.
After learning about the feud between the two families, he decisively drew an end to his relationship with Yang Xiaoxiao in his heart.
While Gu An'an pressed him for follow-up questions, he went out and bought gifts to take back to the village.
After he had settled everything, he went to the Yang family and broke up with Yang Xiaoxiao in front of everyone in the family.
Aside from feeling guilty about Yang Xiaoxiao's heartbroken crying, he didn't care at all about the curses from the other members of the Yang family, including Zhang Xiaoya.
Having resolved the matter, he drove to Shihua Village early in the morning, eager to tell Lu Yuanhuan the news as soon as possible.
After telling Lu Yuanhuan about her last remaining concern, she felt inexplicably empty.
Gu Anping squeezed Lu Yuanhuan's hand back and comforted her, "Mom, we are family. I am your son. If you have any opinions about my marriage, you can tell me yourself. There's no need... Anyway, you are my mother, and I will listen to your advice."
Don't accept an outcome you don't want on your own.
The tears that Lu Yuanhuan had been holding back immediately welled up in her eyes. "I know, I was just afraid you would be unhappy."
"I'm fine with it even if it means I have to suffer, as long as you're willing."
Gu Anping chuckled softly, "No, I don't want you to wrong yourself."
"If you wrong yourself, Dad will punish me."
Although he can easily deal with Gu Yushan now, can a son really fight his father?
"Pfft!" Lu Yuanhuan burst into laughter through her tears. "It's not that serious. Your dad won't punish you."
Gu Anping smiled and did not refute.
His father, Gu Yushan, is a reasonable man and would never lay a hand on his child.
But the premise of all this is to not provoke Lu Yuanhuan.
Anyone who provokes Lu Yuanhuan will no longer be able to reason with him.
……
Once the mother and son resolved their differences, they were able to enjoy themselves in the village for a couple of days.
It was time for Gu Anping to leave.
He doesn't have many holidays, and in order to be able to come back for the Chinese New Year this year, he can't rest for very long.
Lu Yuanhuan originally wanted to go back to the city with him.
But Lu Guobin is gone, and she can't leave.
When something that everyone had been prepared for happened, they quickly took action.
Lu Yuanhuan was busy helping out, so he stayed behind.
Lu Yuanqing, with a white cloth draped over his head, prepared to see Gu Anping off.
"Third Uncle, take care of yourself," Gu Anping said with concern.
Yesterday afternoon, Lu Guobin suddenly regained some energy and had a long talk with Lu Yuanqing. Two hours later, he passed away.
The Lu family immediately burst into tears.
Lu Yuanqing also cried several times.
Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but shed tears when it actually happened.
I can only keep busy. Whenever I stop and hear a word of comfort from someone around me, I can't help but shed tears and recall past memories.
"I know, drive carefully on your way back," Lu Yuanqing's hoarse voice rang out.
Gu Anping was also very upset. He needed to return to his unit immediately, so he could only stay up all night to show his filial piety.
He hadn't slept all night, and although his face didn't show it, his eyes betrayed his exhaustion.
That's why Lu Yuanqing told him to be careful when driving back to the city.
"Does it need to be buried in three days?" Gu Anping didn't know much about these things either.
Nowadays, more and more people in rural areas are paying attention to funeral ceremonies. When someone dies, they sing and dance, calling it a "joyful funeral."
He didn't understand at first, but then he heard the older villagers looking at the people singing and dancing on stage with satisfaction, saying things like, "It's so lively, it's made my life worthwhile."
Lu Yuanqing nodded: "Yes, the time was set by the geomancer."
“Then we’ll have to stay up for two more nights. You and Mom shouldn’t stay up all night; let the younger people do it. You should also try to get some sleep. There are still two days left!” Gu Anping said with some concern.
In just one night, Lu Yuanqing's voice became hoarse.
Lu Yuanqing said calmly, "I can't sleep."
At his age, no one would ask him to keep watch at night.
But he just couldn't fall asleep.
His closest elders passed away one by one.
Aunt, younger sister, Zhao Zhongcai...
Only Lu Guobin was left, and now he's gone too.
Lu Yuanqing deeply felt that life is like a train that can never stop; those who reach the end can never turn back.
After Gu Anping left, Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanhuan helped Lu Dabo with all his affairs in the village before one returned to the city and the other to the capital.
