Daddy Always Gets Jealous

The old master grunted, ”Tell me, why the sudden urge to join the military?”

Gu Jizhou looked down, ”I feel I’m not mature enough, somewhat impatient and restless. I used to think poorly of the army, but now I realize it’s where one’s character is truly tested.”

The old master slowly grunted and opened his eyes to look at Gu Jizhou, ”That’s more like it. But what do you plan to do about the company if you join the army?”

Gu Jizhou spoke softly, ”There’s still my mom and dad. The company was run by them before, and I believe it will do much better in their hands than in mine.”

The old master grunted but didn’t give Gu Jizhou a clear response, ”It’s late, don’t go back. Go upstairs and rest. Your great-grandfather has also gone to sleep.”

On the third day, Uncle Guan organized all the information he had found and gave it to the old master.

The old master looked it over and frowned deeply.

Over these years, Jizhou had made quite a mess of things, seriously lacking a sense of responsibility. He really needed to have a stint in the military, to rid himself of those bad habits once and for all!

Besides what he already knew, there seemed to be nothing particularly noteworthy.

Having finished reading, he put them aside, ”Dispose of these materials.”

”Yes, elder master.” Uncle Guan took them to the kitchen, set them on fire, turned them to ashes, and flushed them down the sink.

The old master glanced towards the kitchen and sat in the living room to make a call, ”Qichang, arrange something for me. See what Jizhou is fit for in the army now. I’ll have someone send him over in a week.”

After hanging up, he called Gu Jizhou, ”Jizhou, get ready. I’ve spoken to your grandfather. You’ll head over in a week. This time, don’t complain to me about being tired or hard-pressed.”

Gu Jizhou laughed warmly, ”Yes, Great-grandfather. If I dare to complain, you can beat me with your cane.”

On Friday, Che Huan came out of the First Hospital and saw Huo Jinyun’s car, passing by it directly.

Huo Jinyun signaled the butler to follow.

Che Huan got on a bus and noticed Huo Jinyun’s car trailing behind. She couldn’t help furrowing her brows.

An hour later, she got off at her stop and walked back to her residence.

Huo Jinyun’s car followed her to the apartment building below.

Seeing the Gu Family’s car stop, Che Huan halted and turned back to look in Huo Jinyun’s direction, ”Madam Gu.”

Huo Jinyun got out of the car, approached Che Huan with an air of superiority, and spoke, ”Do you know why Jizhou suddenly wants to go to the military?”

Gu Jizhou is joining the military?

Che Huan furrowed her brows, ”I don’t know. Please don’t ask me about his matters in the future, Madam Gu. They have nothing to do with me!”

Huo Jinyun stared at Che Huan for a while, then smiled elegantly, ”I thought you’d be soaring like a phoenix now that you’ve climbed up the Qin Family tree. Why still live in a place like this?”

Che Huan gave a charming smile, ”My affairs are none of Madam Gu’s concern.”

Huo Jinyun had never understood why Gu Yunqing targeted Che Huan that time and, recalling the words Anan had said, she was full of suspicion, ”What kind of grudge do you have with Yunqing?”

Che Huan replied politely, ”I’m not clear on that either. Perhaps Madam Gu could go back and ask Miss Gu herself.”

Listening, Huo Jinyun felt choked up and curled her lips scornfully, ”I advise you to take a good look in the mirror and see if you’re really fit to marry into the Qin Family. Don’t think a few nights in someone’s bed makes you the young mistress of the Qin Family! You’re just being treated as a plaything, what’s there to be proud of!”
