Chapter 315: Women Really Do Affect the Speed of Drawing a Sword

Actually he originally only wanted to simply beat up Chen Baosheng; his only plan was just to let Chen Baosheng know it was him, but he couldn't find any evidence.

In the end Chen Baosheng brought it on himself, which triggered this whole series of events.

Fortunately, by chance the blame was passed to Gu Jianfa and the others; otherwise… it would have caused endless trouble.

He actually hopes the Chen Family can be tougher; after suffering such a huge loss himself, how could he just give up?

At least the "instigator" should pay the price.

Gu Jianfa being messed with isn't really unjust.

After all, he also intended to mess with Chen Baosheng, but he lacked the ability; as a "future nephew‑in‑law" he gave a hand, and rounding it off, that's not much different from doing it himself.

So it's reasonable to put this bill on Gu Jianfa!

Lao Fu Tou sighed, "I'm afraid it'll be discovered; I don't mind, after all I'm already this age."

"But we mustn't drag you into it."

"A An…"

Wu An cut him off, saying, "Enough, how old are you now, do you expect me to comfort you?"

"That's it."

"I'm done."

Who doesn't want a safe, peaceful life?

He also wants to go out to sea fishing every day with a steady mind, invest the earnings, let money generate more money, and after amassing massive wealth, just lie back and enjoy.

But reality isn't a fairy tale, especially in the Village, where petty struggles are never lacking.

Especially now that he's made money and attracted attention, it will only invite more trouble.

So.

To survive out there, you need not only money but also power, so that people can only feel admiration and envy, and no other thoughts arise.

The Chen Family affair also served as a warning bell for him.

"Wait a moment," Lao Fu Tou hurriedly called out, saying, "The weather should be fine tomorrow; we can go out to sea for a day."

"One day?"

"Yes, the weather will worsen the day after, and we won't be able to go out to sea."

"Lao Fu, you're being a bit divine, aren't you?"

"Divine what? I just looked at the weather forecast."

"…" Wu An thought for a second, then decisively said, "Tomorrow you and A Qing go out to sea."

"I have other matters, so I won't go."

"What matter?"

"A serious matter."

"What serious matter?" Lao Fu Tou was a bit worried, perhaps frightened by the spectacle Wu An created this time, fearing Wu An might cause more trouble, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"I'm going to accompany my girlfriend to the county…"

"So what?"

"You're just an employee and you plan to meddle in the boss's affairs?"

"I wouldn't be disrespectful; this is a serious matter, wish the boss a good time."

"Get lost."

"Hehe."

Wu An put down his phone, sighed, "Sure enough, women affect the speed at which one draws a sword."

However.

Let the influence be as it is; this is his first date with Gu Anran, even if he doesn't earn money that day, he couldn't possibly bail.

……

On the other side.

The Gu Family.

The elderly lady saw off the messenger, returned to the house, and let out a long sigh: "Gu Anran, when you came back this afternoon with a smile on your face, I asked what good news you had, and you still didn't say—could it be because your uncle was arrested?"

Gu Anran, while applying a facial mask, said, "Grandma, I want to say yes; you won't be angry, right?"

"You still remember to ask me, why didn't you say it earlier…" The elderly lady patted Gu Anran's crossed thigh and said, "So I can also be happy a bit sooner."

Gu Anran blinked.

"Earlier I was worried about meeting A An's family; what would we do if your uncle caused trouble then?" The elderly lady clapped happily, "Now it's fine; your uncle will be detained for fifteen days, so you should quickly talk with A An and set a meeting date."

"The sooner, the better."

"Ideally, settle your matter before your uncle gets out."

Gu Anran nodded happily, "Got it."

Fortunately, while applying the mask, she felt her cheeks a bit warm; her complexion was certainly a little flushed.

So she's getting married now?

Too fast…

"A An is a good person; his family is so proactive, which shows they value you a lot," the elderly lady said, holding her hand in her palm and gently patting, "Very good, very good; seeing you get married, I won't have any more worries."

"When you meet your parents then, there will also be an explanation."

Gu Anran's heart trembled, "Grandma."

"Gu Anran, it's not that Grandma is anxious; this situation in our family really holds you back," the elderly lady's voice trembled, "I hope this day comes early, yet I'm also afraid it comes too early."

As she spoke, the elderly lady began wiping away tears.

It's not that marrying Wu An is bad, but Gu Anran originally should have had a better life and future, and could face all this more calmly.

But now we have to hurry.

The old lady feels she owes Gu Anran too much.

Gu Anran quickly hugged the old lady, feeling uneasy too, and said, "Granny, granny, I think it's good, really good."

I think this is the best arrangement.

You haven't had much contact with A An—he… he really is a very good person.

He will treat me very well.

Besides, I'm marrying into the neighboring village; I heard from A An that our two villages will eventually merge, so by then we'll still be in the same village, just a short walk away.

The old lady wiped her tears: "It's better to stay far away."

If you're far away, even your great-uncle won't be able to pester you.

Gu Anran didn't say anything.

The old and young talked a lot of heart-to-heart; Gu Anran removed her face mask, tidied up again, just lay down, and the old lady said, "If you don't come back tomorrow, remember to call home."

Gu Anran was taken aback, thinking this was a 'privilege' allowing her to stay out overnight without going home, and quickly said, "I'll definitely be back this afternoon."

It's not that A An is accompanying you; you two should properly set a date.

There's enough time.

You're grown up now, have your own ideas; I won't say more on some matters.

Gu Anran instinctively pulled the blanket tighter, feeling her face flush badly.

Granny wanted to say something, which she of course knew.

She softly replied, "Understood."

……

The next morning.

Wu Yingwei arrived.

Seeing Wu An holding a mirror and fixing his hair, he frowned and asked, "What are you doing? I saw A Qing and Lao Fu set out to sea early this morning; why didn't you go with them?"

Just earn some money and then take off!

Your bones are lazy again, huh!

Wu An blew on his carefully styled bangs, very pleased with his flashy look, and said, "Today I'm accompanying your future daughter-in-law to the county, as we said a couple of days ago."

Hearing this, Wu Yingwei realized, his tense face breaking into a chrysanthemum-like smile: "Oh oh oh, I got so busy I forgot."

Just as he turned around, he turned his head again and urged, "Don't be reluctant to spend money."

"I know, I know." Wu An said irritably, "Do I still need your teaching?"

Have you ever been in a relationship?

…… Wu Yingwei took a deep breath, somewhat excitedly shouting, "Back then we didn't talk about relationships, but I and your mother became revolutionary partners!"

Do you even know what a revolutionary partner is!

You can't even flatter enough to compare!

Wu An gave a thumbs up.

Wu Yingwei snorted, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

Wu An freshened up, rode his scooter home, then went to the crossroads to wait; not long after, Gu Anran came to his side like a butterfly.

He asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I have, and you?"

"No."

Then let's go to town; I'll accompany you to get something to eat.

"No need, right?"

"Yes."

Gu Anran said seriously, then got in the car, reached out her arms, and embraced him.

Wu An chuckled, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
