Chapter 1473: Regretting We Met Too Late

They say arrogance invites disaster, and look, here it comes.

If Gu Minglei's guess is true, then the girl trying to steal Liangliang's boyfriend is actually Liangliang's stepmother's own daughter, just born out of wedlock and registered under her biological brother's name.

Moreover, Hu Yuemei marrying into the Gu family back then was an accident; it seems she wants to change the soup but not the medicine to secure a good future for her daughter.

The difference is, back then Gu Fengze's wife had passed, and his two sons were fine, but his daughter was still young and truly needed a new wife to enter the household, so he went with the flow and took Hu Yuemei in.

One has to admit, Hu Yuemei is good at pretending and good at enduring; she managed to coax Gu Fengze into genuinely accepting her.

But Gu Minglei didn't fall for their tricks; the first time they set up a misunderstanding with Liangliang, he held back from saying anything unpleasant out of respect for Gu Fengze's face, thinking it might be an accident.

But after the aunt and niece set the trap again, he wasn't a fool; if he still couldn't see through it, he might as well have never worn that police uniform, but fate was just that coincidental, and an urgent mission arrived.

This delay caused trouble; under the manipulation of those two, Liangliang directly declared she didn't want him anymore.

But by then he was already out of town; no matter how anxious he was, there was nothing he could do; he finally managed to find time to call Liangliang to explain, but either she wasn't at her unit, or she knew it was him and hung up immediately.

After hearing Gu Minglei's explanation, Liu Chuxue said: "Since there is a misunderstanding here, I can try to help you persuade her, but I want to remind you of one thing on this occasion: be more alert in the future; not every misunderstanding will be forgiven."

These words went not only into Gu Minglei's ears but were also silently memorized by Fu Yan Cheng in the kitchen.

With the matter settled, it was time for a meal.

Liu Chuxue naturally couldn't just send him away, so she politely said: "The food will be ready soon; since there is a misunderstanding between you and Liangliang, stay for a simple meal."

Those words were quite interesting; if it wasn't a misunderstanding, then just leave quickly.

How could Gu Minglei refuse? Whether he could get Liangliang's forgiveness sooner depended entirely on the person right in front of him, and besides, having chatted with Fu Yan Cheng all the way here, he felt they were very compatible.

He stood up, picked up a mesh bag, and took out a cloth bag from inside: "Before coming, I packed two dishes from the state-run restaurant; let's heat them up to add to the meal."

Neither Liu Chuxue nor Fu Yan Cheng expected Gu Minglei to bring food; they couldn't help but think: Could this person be planning a protracted war, even stocking up on provisions?

Seeing Liu Chuxue's expression, Gu Minglei knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand; I just thought the timing of my arrival was inappropriate, thinking..."

Fu Yan Cheng came out of the kitchen and smoothed things over for him: "Alright, I understand now; you are upright and fear no shadow, never thought you might fail, but were afraid it would be awkward to eat at the restaurant for free, so you brought your own rations."

Gu Minglei laughed openly, giving Fu Yan Cheng a grateful look: "You know me, Comrade Fu; now I truly feel we met too late; once I coax my Liangliang back, let our two families visit each other more often in the future."

Oh, this one climbs the pole too; the matter isn't even settled, and he's already planning for the future.

However, Gu Minglei's personality is quite likable.

Fu Yan Cheng, at this moment, no longer cared about what he was asking: "Alright, just for your trip today and your post-incident remedial actions, you are a man; I accept you as a friend; I happen to have a good brother in the public security system, and I'll introduce you two later."
