Chapter 201: The Brothers Are All Back To Pay A Visit (2) (1/2)

His words shocked everyone!

“Something is about to happen? What is it?” Gu Conghua had a sense of foreboding.

Gu Yunjing glanced at his aged father and said, “Things are rather messy where I am now. I might… might be demoted and sent for labor reformation.”

Gu Conghua instantly turned pale.

Wen Ruyu was terrified. “Reformation? Why do you need to reform? This… will anything happen to you? Where are you going? Is it one of those desolate places? Does… does Jinye have to go too?”

Gu Jinye was the eldest grandson in the Gu family. He was twenty-eight years old and still single.

Gu Yunjing glanced at his eldest son and said with some regret, “Jinye will have to go too. Even if he stays, I doubt he’ll be able to remain in his position for long. Even I have to go. If Jinye stays, nothing good will come of it. Now we are just hoping to keep our family together.”

“What… what shall we do?” Wen Ruyu started to cry.

Gu Yunjing was filled with guilt when he saw his aged mother sobbing.

He had worked away from his home for many years, but in the end, he still caused his parents so much worry.

“Mother, Mother, don’t worry. It’s my own plan to leave. Beihan told me that I might be in danger if I stayed, so I thought I might as well find a way to leave. Actually, we are just going away for a while until this blows over. I will certainly be able to return after a couple of years. Please don’t worry.”

“Grandma, don’t worry. These are our own arrangements. Nothing will happen to us. When things have died down after a couple of years, we’ll be able to come back.” Gu Jinye comforted Wen Ruyu.

Wen Ruyu’s face was covered with tears. She clutched Gu Jinye’s hand. “But… but demotion always means suffering! Our lives are hard enough. This… you aren’t even married yet. If you are demoted, what… what will we do!”

Gu Jinye’s smile was a little forced. “Grandma, I’ll be able to come back in a couple of years’ time. I might even find a wife while I’m demoted!”

Eldest Aunt, Fang Ling, looked rather angry. “We already made a match for Jinye. The last time Yao Yao sent us so many good things, we made our preparations and gathered many things. We already agreed on the match. But now the other side is having second thoughts.”
