Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 447 One of the Pursuers?

Chapter 447: Chapter 447 One of the Pursuers?

Song Yunuan could sense his mood and found the "illiterate Second Young Master" to be a bit spoiled.

But she could understand.

He currently had no close relatives, and it was uncertain whether he could recover his usurped property, so naturally, he valued Fanhua greatly.

Moreover, she guessed this guy had some intentions, though he hid them well; naturally, she also pretended not to know.

Zhong Shaoqing said, "I understand now, do I need to do anything?"

Song Yunuan said, "Second Young Master, earning money should not be difficult for you, so let’s not rush with making money. You should prioritize your treatment above everything else..."

Zhong Shaoqing was delighted.

He discovered he was a maniac for nitpicking words.

A single ’we’ made him feel like Little Nuan considered him a close person.

You, Gu Huai’an, are but one of many suitors, and Old Man Gu—well, just the grandfather of a suitor.

How many close people can there be? Little Nuan is so outstanding, there will definitely be more than just Gu Huai’an as her suitors in the future.

So, Gu Huai’an is at best just one of the suitors.

Song Yunuan couldn’t see Zhong Shaoqing’s smug smile; after hanging up the phone, she called Old Master Gu.

Old Master Gu was surprised but still managed to keep his composure.

The old man thought of many things in an instant but couldn’t come to any conclusion.

He asked Song Yunuan, "Are you really rehiring me?"

Song Yunuan replied with a cheerful smile, "It’s just that I have the guts to do it. Others wouldn’t even dare to think about it."

Old Mr. Gu couldn’t see Song Yunuan’s expression but was aware of the news he received a few days ago.

There were voices of doubt once again about the Fanhua Import and Export Trading Company.

All the talk boiled down to the fact that the chairman was a high school student not yet eighteen years old, and the general manager was a person from Xiangjiang who had a temporary residence permit but mental issues; the two staff were both from a bodyguard background, and although things seemed peaceful now, who knew if they had other motives?

It was like child’s play.

Zhong Shaoqing, being from Xiangjiang with parents and a big brother, should be in Xiangjiang—it made no sense to keep hanging around here.

Old Mr. Gu knew that the Qian family had a hand in stirring things up, but it also revealed a problem: Fanhua was starting to attract envy.

He thought about how he could help, but he couldn’t just go and argue with those who had objections, could he?

Now he saw things clearly.

Little Nuan was a good kid with ideals, ambition, and great capabilities.

This proposal was perfect for breaking the deadlock.

Thus, Old Master Gu happily agreed; when he saw Zhong Shaoqing later, his demeanor was stern, yet the kindness in his eyes instantly relaxed Zhong Shaoqing.

This was an old man worthy of trust.

-----------------

Song Yunuan took the college entrance examination without any suspense and got into Beidu University.

Surprisingly, Song Mingbo, who almost made it through by the skin of his teeth, had a good outcome as well—he was admitted to Beidu University of Political Science and Law.

Old Man Song was so excited he cried.

Meanwhile, in the provincial city, Qin Siqi performed exceptionally well and was admitted to Beidu Agricultural University.

When she registered her household, her ethnicity followed that of Xue Min, who was Mongolian.

Nowadays, being a minority grants an extra twenty points, and Qin Siqi just barely made the cut.

Song Yunuan was the top scorer in Beiquan Province.

Although there was no specific national ranking due to different examination papers, there was no doubt that Song Yunuan was the top scorer nationwide.

But for Qin Siqi, just getting to study in Beidu was beyond her wildest dreams.

The Qin family was naturally ecstatic.

However, upon learning Song Yunuan’s score, they felt an indescribable discomfort that cast a shadow over their joy, making Qin Siqi curse Song Yunuan nonstop.

-----------------

It must be said that this year’s Number One High School had a bumper harvest.

There were twenty-eight students who got into undergraduate programs, five times more than in previous years.

Principal Cui was so happy he couldn’t stop smiling all day.

Especially since there was one who made it to Beidu University.

Chu Jiaojiao is still called Chu Jiaojiao, and she was admitted to Nan City Industrial University.

She, too, is the golden phoenix that flew out of their village.

For a while, all unfavorable public opinions disappeared, replaced only by praise that rose and fell.

Liu Daniu was so angry that she fell seriously ill. She did not divorce Chu Youfu, stubbornly refusing to do so, even when Chu Youfu was taken away for labor reform.

Chu Fei ignored her, and Chu Jiaojiao returned to her birth mother’s side, feeling that she could not go through life without a husband.

Moreover, she was holding her breath, refusing to let widow Qian and Chu Youfu have their happy ending together.

Little did she know that widow Qian had deliberately spread those words, intentionally propagating damaging rumors.

Because when widow Qian saw that Chu Youfu was about to be sent for labor reform, she immediately became scared.

She was worried it would affect both Chu Jiaojiao and herself.

She did not care about anything else; after all, the whole affair was already known throughout the surrounding villages. As long as she had thick skin, nothing was a problem.

But she couldn’t let it affect Jiaojiao’s future.

After all, Jiaojiao’s academic achievements were among the best in the school.

So the widow Qian started to scheme, casually mentioning in conversations how good and virtuous Chu Youfu was, saying things like she wanted to live a good life with him.

That idiot Liu Daniu predictably took the bait, stubbornly refusing to divorce Chu Youfu.

Meanwhile, Chu Youfu, harboring hatred for Liu Daniu, asked his family to take care of widow Qian.

He felt very remorseful towards the mother and daughter, and he planned to work hard to earn money to provide for them once he got out.

As for the idiot and cheap Liu Daniu, he would make sure she wouldn’t enjoy good days.

But no matter what, things at Chu Fei’s end quieted down a lot.

Song Yunuan went for a stroll in Nanshan County Town.

She didn’t expect so much change in just one year.

Not to mention the environment of the county town, but the newly built marketplace was really bustling.

One could say they sell everything there.

The summer clothes produced by their own garment factory were now on display in the department store and their own clothes shop.

Zhou Xiaohua, who works and studies at the same time, has matured into a capable store manager.

She has two workers under her.

She is also planning to attend Nanshan Staff and Cadres College this autumn through correspondence studies.

After two years, she will also have graduated from junior college.

Zhou Xiaohua doesn’t ask for much; she is already very satisfied.

-----------------

Old Mrs. Song was not in a hurry, nor did she have any regrets, because she was going to Beidu with her granddaughter and grandson, where they still have a house.

With this in mind, she felt very reassured.

Then Song Yunuan prepared to go to Xiangjiang.

Unexpectedly, her young uncle also wanted to go, but grandma did not agree.

When Song Yunuan visited her grandmother’s house, Zhu Feng was there crying.

"...You were locked up for so many years, and all your illnesses were acquired in that terrible place, now finally having settled down, why go there?

That damned Shangguan Heng is in Xiangjiang, and he’s not under our jurisdiction, so reporting him was useless, wasn’t it?

And Little Nuan... don’t look at me like that, I don’t agree with you going either.

It’s said that even a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake, and Shangguan Heng and his people are the local snakes.

If you two go there, who knows when Shangguan Heng might harm you.

If you get locked up again, who will be able to save you?"

Zhu Feng only wants to find a match for her younger son now, letting him have a home.

Dongdong is not old, and as for his future wife, she has no special requirements; she would be content as long as the woman is good to Dongdong and can have children with him.

So forget about Beidu, Nan City, and Xiangjiang.

Just living a stable life in Nanshan County Town is better than anything else.

That’s why she couldn’t understand at all why Dongdong wanted to go to Xiangjiang...
