Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Worried Little Nuan Has Forgotten Him

Gu Huai’an cleared his throat, "I support what you’re doing, and I plan to bring it up at the meeting."

Song Yunuan nodded eagerly, "When the time comes, I’ll write a letter to articulate my point of view. Actually, there are many channels for exchanging foreign currency. Do you still remember Old Erha?"

Gu Huai’an nodded, "I remember."

"We could invite him back, let him make amends by taking on a few apprentices and producing some counterfeit products. This could also be a way to earn foreign currency. For instance, my family’s clothing line has also reached the international market. There are also handicrafts like straw weaving, and yes, we have orders for straw weaving from Sunflower Commune too."

Once Song Yunuan and Gu Huai’an had discussed the contents of the letter in detail, the car pulled over to the side of the road.

Xiao Wu said, "The lakeside is just ahead, and it’s quite lively. Would you like to take a look?"

Little Asheng immediately turned to look at Song Yunuan.

Xiao Wu smiled with pursed lips.

Song Yunuan opened the door and got out of the car without hesitation.

The lakeside was indeed bustling, with food and fun to be had. Holding his sister’s hand, Little Asheng suddenly felt like the luckiest and happiest kid in Erdao River Village.

Considering that Xiao Qiang, Gangzi, and Aming felt superior just by going to the county town.

With his sister, he was truly living the good life, enjoying delicious food and travelling by train and car, not to mention witnessing the greater world.

He looked up and tugged at Song Yunuan’s hand.

Song Yunuan said, "I know you want to eat something again."

Little Asheng quickly explained, "Sister, I just want to express how much I love you. When I grow up, I’ll definitely treat you the best. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll fight them to the end!"

After finishing his speech, his little eyes darted a glance at Gu Huai’an, who clearly stood out in the surroundings but had a gentle look in his eyes.

Gu Huai’an ruffled his hair, smiling, "Asheng is a good kid."

When they were heading back, they took with them a lot of tasty treats.

Freshly roasted chestnuts, shiny and translucent ’po zai’ cakes, two big sticks of sugarcane, along with other snacks packed in paper bags, were all delivered to the hotel room by Gu Huai’an and Xiao Wu.

Song Liang had just returned.

Seeing Gu Huai’an there was a real surprise for him, though he wasn’t shocked.

After exchanging a few words, Gu Huai’an and Xiao Wu left.

Being a father, Song Liang found it hard to speak directly to Little Nuan.

All he could do was fret.

Now that the Gu family must be aware, Song Liang wasn’t very concerned about what they thought, but what if they did something unpleasant or spoke harshly? What would he do then?

Little Nuan’s nature was not to suffer loss quietly. If there truly was a conflict, it would be unnecessary.

Or as they say, it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful towards Gu Huai’an. Wasn’t he supposed to be busy? How come he always pops up? What was the point of not working properly and wandering around everywhere?

Song Liang didn’t dare to mention it or inquire.

After escorting Song Yunuan back to her room, he went to look for Xia Xindong.

Then he told Xia Xindong about Gu Huai’an showing up in Nan City again. Wasn’t he supposed to be in Beidu? How come Little Nuan seems to run into him everywhere?

Xia Xindong said, "It’s not like he follows her wherever she goes. Little Nuan went to the summer camp and he didn’t go."

Song Liang raked his hand through his hair, "That’s not what I meant. I just feel like Gu Huai’an definitely has feelings for our Little Nuan. But Little Nuan is young, she’s still in school, and even if she were to marry, it would have to wait until she graduates from college.

When you bring that up, that’s about five or six years from now. The Gu family isn’t just any family; they would certainly look down on our background.

I don’t know what Gu Huai’an has told his family, but even though there’s been no reaction from the Gu side yet, it could also be because they don’t take us seriously.

So as good as Gu Huai’an is, he’s not considering everything thoroughly."

Xia Xindong seemed to understand, "Brother-in-law, if Gu Huai’an were that thorough, Little Nuan would probably have forgotten about him long ago."

Song Liang blinked his eyes, "What do you mean by what you said?"

"Just making his presence felt, afraid that our Little Nuan would forget about him."

Song Liang understood and smiled with pursed lips.

If that’s the case, it wasn’t too bad.

Xia Xindong added, "Gu Huai’an must have said something to his family as well, and the Gu family is indeed not an ordinary household—they wouldn’t show disdain for the poor and love for the rich.

Even if they looked down upon someone in their hearts, they would pretend to be very kind on the surface and could use other methods to sabotage their relationship."

At this point, Xia Xindong paused and smiled meaningfully, "Just like you, brother-in-law said, several years have passed, who knows what might happen? Little Nuan is a smart kid and one who doesn’t like being taken advantage of."

"I know all this, but as a father, I can’t help worrying. There are some things I can’t yet say or ask, I can only wait to go back and let your sister talk to her."

"Little Nuan knows what she’s doing, you guys shouldn’t interfere too much."

Song Liang thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

But he still asked Xia Xindong what they had done at the city government office today.

After speaking, he sighed, "Xindong, it’s different for Little Nuan than for you, from her birth until before she came back, we didn’t even know she existed.

We weren’t part of her upbringing, we don’t know what she’s been through all these years, we didn’t even know what Little Nuan liked or disliked at first.

Little Nuan is independent in nature, she doesn’t tell us a lot of things, and your sister and I don’t dare to ask."

At this point, Song Liang’s eyes reddened, and he turned his head to wipe his face.

Xia Xindong also felt speechless. What advice could he, with his own behavior, possibly give to his brother-in-law?

In fact, he had only started to understand the ways of the world not many days ago.

He was also not used to discussing things with his mother.

But he could feel Song Liang’s distress.

He said to Song Liang, "You consider Little Nuan as your own daughter, don’t you?"

Song Liang’s eyes went wide. "What kind of nonsense are you saying? Of course, Little Nuan is my own daughter."

"Since she is your own daughter, just go ahead and ask whatever you want. If it’s something difficult to say, let my sister say it. Why are you so torn about it?"

Song Liang thought Xia Xindong’s words made sense.

So the next morning, he went to find Song Yunuan and directly asked her what she had done at the city government building yesterday.

Song Yunuan had to meet Shangguan Heng later with Xia Bowen and her uncle at the agreed place.

Without a doubt, Shangguan Heng must have had a sleepless night.

He probably could hardly wait to tear them to shreds.

Then, hearing Song Liang ask her about it, Song Yunuan immediately told him about the events of the previous day.

She also emphasized, "Dad, I assure you, I left after throwing them into the workroom. What exactly Old Master Xia and my uncle did, I really don’t know. They wouldn’t let me intervene or even watch afterwards."

Song Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been concerned that Little Nuan would be angry.

He said to Song Yunuan, "Dad knows you are a capable child, but it’s still best to be careful in all things."

"Dad, I’ll remember that," Song Yunuan obediently promised.

A child who is disciplined by their parents is the happiest.

Song Liang happily took Asheng to the meeting.

Song Yunuan and the others then received the videotapes delivered by Shangguan Heng.

Also brought along was a check for a million.

This, too, could be exchanged for cash at the financial center...
