NOVEL WEB Chapter 156: Are you satisfied?
Another day passed like this, and the rumors in the village about who was going to the art troupe never stopped. Even when Gu Lingling went out, people specifically asked her if it was true.
Even when she went to Zhao Si'en's place, the little girl was curious.
"Sister won't go," Gu Lingling whispered to Zhao Si'en.
Join the art troupe? Forget it, it's not her type.
But others wouldn't think so.
"Lingling, you're back. Quickly, come to Grandma," Old Mrs. Gu smiled, her face full of wrinkles, and 'kindly' beckoned her to sit in front of her.
No praise comes without cause; this had never happened before.
"Grandma, if you have something to say, just say it." The kindness was too much for her to take.
"This child loves to joke with Grandma," Old Mrs. Gu wasn't angry, instead, she chuckled as she spoke to Lv Guodong's parents, "This is my granddaughter, Gu Lingling."
After speaking, she forcibly held Gu Lingling's hand and said with a smile, "Lingling, come meet your Uncle Lv and Aunt Wang. Right, this is your brother from the Lv Family, Lv Guodong."
Brother from the Lv Family?
Pfft... Old Mrs. Gu now looked just like a matchmaker.
Is she going to marry her to Lv Guodong?
But why?
Gu Lingling couldn't figure it out. In her past life, Wang Meili wasn't so nice, letting her marry Lv Guodong; instead, she instigated her to elope with Lv Guodong.
And that was two years later, after this movement ended. The Lv Family didn't have the power they have now. Lv Guodong got into trouble and had to leave here.
Having someone like her, who bears hardships without complaint, by Lv Guodong's side, the Lv Family naturally wouldn't have any objections.
But now it was different. Lv Guodong's father had some position in the city, and Lv Guodong's uncle was the director of the armed forces department. The Lv Family's status wasn't too high, but compared to the Gu Family, it was something to look up to.
Wang Meili wouldn't be so kind as to introduce Lv Guodong to her—she didn't know what would happen two years later.
Wait... armed forces department?
A thought flashed through Gu Lingling's mind, so fast she couldn't catch it.
"Oh, this is Lingling, she's really pretty," Lv Guodong's mom, Wang Meili's distant cousin, Wang Xintao, said as she looked Gu Lingling up and down, satisfied. "Truly beautiful."
Gu Lingling frowned and pulled her hand back, "Grandma, if there's nothing else, I'll leave now."
These people all carried a strange air.
In her last life, although she didn't really interact with Wang Xintao, she could tell from Lv Guodong's usual words.
This person was even more snobbish than Wang Meili, and very sharp-tongued.
But now she was treating her, a little girl, so kindly, and even Lv Guodong's father, Lv Zhongliang, came over, which was as rare as a red rain from the sky.
"This child, she's just shy," Old Mrs. Gu cursed Gu Lingling to bits in her heart, but said with a smile on her face.
"Sister, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Wang Meili asked Wang Xintao in a low voice.
Wang Xintao nodded her head, "She indeed looks good."
She's suitable for their son.
"But her temper is a bit too stubborn," she didn't save any face for her, how could Wang Xintao not be annoyed?
"This child didn't have a mother growing up. Once she gets to Sister's house, you can manage her however you like," Wang Meili said with a flattering smile.
Her cousin had always been hard to get along with, but she'd had good fortune, marrying well and giving birth to two sons in a row, securing her position in the Lv Family.
"That's true," Wang Xintao smiled smugly.
No matter how stubborn she is, could she go against the heavens in Wang Xintao's hands?
"Then it's settled," Lv Zhongliang said, standing up after remaining silent, "Should we wait for Chunhai to come back and talk it over with him?"
"What for?" Old Mrs. Gu's face full of wrinkles said, "It's a privilege that she can marry into your family. Meili and I have decided on this."
Lv Guodong, "..."
Just like that, his marriage was arranged?
If it were someone else, Lv Guodong would definitely have made a fuss, but Gu Lingling... remembering that unintentional exchange of glances just now, Lv Guodong's heart started pounding inexplicably.
He had never felt this way about other girls before.
Could it all be because of that dream?
