Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path
Chapter 426: Dear Big Brother
CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 426: DEAR BIG BROTHER
Because he wanted to treat his three sisters to a meal, at noon Gu Haojun generously took the three girls to the state-owned restaurant.
"Brother, it’s enough to eat at the place across from the factory. The food there..." Zhao Jingmiao was resistant to the prices at the state-owned restaurant; a meal there for four could equal several meals at the entrance of their factory.
Besides, spending so much money, Zhao Jingmiao was afraid that if Wang Meili found out, she would cause them trouble again.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of conflict, but she was really disgusted by the face of that mother-daughter pair.
"Your brother has enough money to treat you to a meal." Gu Haojun said with a smile.
But in his heart, there was an indescribable bitterness.
Before, he rarely saw this cousin, but at least they would feel quite close when meeting every year during the New Year. But now, he always felt something was missing.
Once they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Gu Haojun asked the three people to order dishes. Hao Lianlian declined, and Zhao Jingmiao and Gu Lingling ordered some home-style dishes.
"When you’re here, you should try the signature dishes." Gu Haojun laughed and crossed out the dishes they ordered, and he ordered several signature dishes of the state-owned restaurant himself.
"Why don’t you try them?" Gu Haojun said, tending to the three girls, "Eat more."
When Gu Juan and Zheng Peng arrived to eat, they saw their own brother fawning over Gu Lingling, that brat, by serving her food.
Next to her sat Zhao Jingmiao, and even Hao Lianlian was invited over, but not his own sister.
Why?
Is this still her own brother?
"Juanzi, what’s wrong?" Zheng Peng had just parked the car and discovered that his girlfriend was crying while looking at the state-owned restaurant, which pained him deeply, "Tell me, did someone bully you?"
After that day, although Zheng Peng felt a bit uncomfortable inside, Gu Juan had already comforted him well during those days, and she hadn’t met with Zhou Ting again, which made Zheng Peng very happy.
Today, he finally asked this beauty out for a meal, but didn’t expect someone to be so tactless as to make her cry.
"It’s Gu Lingling again." Zheng Peng angrily grabbed Gu Juan’s hand, "Come on, today I must teach this brat a lesson."
"The one over there is my brother, my own brother." Gu Juan wiped her tears and said to Zheng Peng with grievance, "He’s treating them to a meal, he’s treating them to a meal."
But he forgot about his own sister.
"Don’t be sad." Zheng Peng comforted Gu Juan by pulling her into his arms, not caring at all about the odd looks from passersby, "In the future, I will dote on you, I will always dote on you."
"Pengzi, I only have you." Gu Juan wiped her tears, "I’m fine, I’m used to it."
"Let’s go in." Gu Juan continued, "Even though he doesn’t care for me as a sister, he is still my brother. I know he’s back, I can’t just ignore it."
"And it’s also a good opportunity to introduce you to him."
"Whatever you say is fine." Zheng Peng didn’t have any objections, naturally agreeing to whatever Gu Juan said, "Just don’t wrong yourself."
Gu Juan nodded, then wiped her tears again, and finally, with red eyes, she followed Zheng Peng inside.
Gu Haojun was in the middle of telling Gu Lingling and the others stories about the army, enchanting the three girls. Even when Gu Juan came right up to them, they hadn’t noticed.
"Brother, when did you get back?" Gu Juan asked.
Gu Haojun and Gu Lingling were facing away from the doorway, so they naturally didn’t notice. Hearing the voice, he looked up to see her with red eyes looking at him, and Gu Haojun felt a trace of embarrassment. Touching his nose, he said, "Just got back."
