Going to the Outskirts
During dinner at the Gu residence, Gu Jianguo had already heard about what happened at the entrance of Sea University.
He didn’t look happy. Those two little adulterers were really self-righteous, delusional, and vicious. Did they really think that members of the Gu family were easy to trifle with?
Gu Jianguo had been in the business world for decades, but he had never been soft-hearted with the methods he should have used. Otherwise, the Gu Corporation would have long been swallowed up by others.
The methods of the daughter he had taught would not be any worse than his. Their well-planned scheme had completely failed.
Gu Qingming had sincerely treated them as her boyfriend and best friend. However, when they couldn’t live up to Gu Qingming’s sincerity and treatment, it went without saying that Gu Qingming wouldn’t be kind to them.
Gu Jianguo asked as he ate, “How are those two people now? Are they still fighting to commit suicide?”
If those two really committed suicide now, it would still cause them some trouble.
In particular, those media reports would definitely add fuel to the fire, saying that Gu Qingming was unreasonable, or that she bullied others and didn’t give them a way out. At that time, the reputations of Gu Qingming’s Gu family and the Gu Corporation would be severely affected.
The world would not care about how much they had done to hurt her. They would only listen to the media’s embellishment and stand on a moral high horse to accuse her or their family.
However, although Gu Qingming had been a little foolish all these years, she still had a certain understanding of their personalities.
This time, they failed to use Gu Qingming and turned against her. Their reputations were ruined and they were expelled from Sea University. Their future was ruined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt could be said that they had no place in Sea City and would hate Gu Qingming to the core.
And the best way to take revenge on Gu Qingming was to risk their lives through suicide. In doing so, they would cause Gu Qingming to be condemned by everyone.
Public opinion had always favored the weak.
Whoever was weak was right!
At that time, the Gu Corporation would be greatly affected and might even cause a huge commotion. It was even possible that the Gu Corporation would go bankrupt.
Of course, the premise was that one of them would really commit suicide. Gu Qingming did not care about the life and death of those two people. But she knew that at this moment, they could not die now.
Gu Qingming said, “They won’t kill themselves. They can’t bear to die. But don’t worry, Dad. I’ve arranged for someone to watch them. As soon as they think about dying, our people will save them. They won’t die even if they want to!”
That was the beauty of having money.
As long as Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei didn’t die in this limelight, it was none of her business what happened to them later on.
When Gu Jianguo heard this, he felt relieved.
Gu Jianguo nodded and said, “That’s good. It’s good that you know what you’re doing. Just don’t make a mistake.”
However, he thought to himself, that there could be other people who wanted them dead, such as their business competitors.
Sometimes drastic measures were used to bring down the competition. Now that Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei had caused trouble with Gu Qingming, it was a good opportunity for their competitors.
Halfway through dinner, Gu Qingming suddenly said, “Dad, Mom, I’m taking a leave of absence!”
Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Yes, it’s good to take a leave of absence. You need more rest in your current state.”
Gu Jianguo nodded and said, “Yes, rest more!”
In the last year of their senior year, the students would be looking for internships. But Gu Qingming didn’t need one.
It wouldn’t take too much time for the leave of absence. She could just go to school and graduate.
Gu Qingming hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mom, I want to go to Grandma’s house to recuperate for a while.”
Mrs. Gu’s expression froze and then revealed a complicated expression.
After a moment, she asked, “Daughter, why did you think of going to Grandma’s?”
Gu Qingming said, “Grandma’s place is surrounded by beautiful scenery and fresh air. Such an environment is best for health.”
After a moment’s pause, she said to her mother, “Mom, I’ve barely spent time with Grandma and Grandpa since I was young. I want to take this opportunity to spend some time with them, okay?”
The number of times she’d followed her parents to her grandmother’s house could be counted on one hand.
And every time, they went and left in a hurry.
Gu Jianguo immediately agreed. “Yes, sure. Your grandmother’s place has good scenery. It’s very suitable for her to recuperate there.”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu objected vehemently.
Gu Qingming looked at her mother in confusion.
From what she remembered, every time her mother and father went to her grandmother’s house, her mother would have a fierce argument with her. The result was that her mother would leave with red eyes every time.
But she remembered that her grandmother and grandfather had been nice and kind.
She just couldn’t understand why her grandmother and mother would argue every time she went back to her grandmother’s house.
Gu Jianguo said helplessly, “Honey, it’s good to let the child go to Grandma’s house. After Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei caused such a commotion, the entire Sea City probably knows that our Ming’er is pregnant with an unknown father.”
If she continues to stay at home, she will definitely receive strange looks from others in Sea City. She might even be mocked and despised.”
Mrs. Gu said, “Then you can choose to go somewhere else.”
“Somewhere else?” Gu Jianguo laughed and said, “With our daughter’s current body, will you be at ease if she goes somewhere else without anyone to take care of her?”
“I can accompany her. I will take care of her!” Mrs. Gu said stubbornly.
“I don’t want Mom to accompany me!” Gu Qingming shook her head. “Mom, I will take care of myself.”
“Look, the child has grown up and doesn’t need her mother to accompany her anymore.” Gu Jianguo smiled and said, “I think it’s most suitable for her to go to Grandma’s house. Mom and Dad also dote on Ming’er very much. When they go there, they will definitely take good care of Ming’er, don’t you think so?”
Mrs. Gu frowned and stood up. “Let me think about it.”
Then she went back to her room.
After her mother left, Gu Qingming asked in confusion, “Dad, why is Mom so against me going to Grandma’s house?”
Father Gu only smiled and did not answer.
