Chapter 211 The Jiang Family

After resolving the Gu family's affairs, Gu Qingyu took advantage of the weekend to inquire about Duan Xuezhi and Jiang Kejian.

Knowing that Jiang Kejian was currently working at Beijing Urban Construction, Gu Qingyu drove to the Urban Construction staff quarters early in the morning.

The bus drove slowly for half an hour before finally arriving at the residential compound for urban construction workers. Gu Qingyu got off the bus carrying her belongings, looked around, and then walked towards the women who were gathering at the gate of the compound to pick vegetables.

Seeing Gu Qingyu looking like she was visiting relatives, a few women picking vegetables asked curiously before she could speak, "Miss, which family are you related to?"

Gu Qingyu squatted down upon hearing this and replied with a smile, "Hello, Auntie. I'd like to ask where the home of our newly appointed Manager Jiang of Urban Construction is?"

Manager Jiang?

Upon hearing this, several aunties looked at each other in surprise. Isn't this the new head of our company?

A short, fat old lady slapped her thigh, looked at Gu Qingyu in surprise and asked, "Hey! Miss, are you looking for Manager Jiang? Are you a relative of his?"

Gu Qingyu looked at the old lady's startled expression and said nothing, but just smiled and nodded.

The old lady pointed to a peaked-roof villa at the very end of the compound and said to Gu Qingyu, "Manager Jiang's family just moved in and lives in the innermost part of our compound. That's the small red brick second floor!"

Gu Qingyu looked in the direction the old lady pointed and spotted the eye-catching spire. "Thank you for showing me the way, old lady. I know where it is now!"

"It's just something that happens easily, why are you being so polite?"

Just as Gu Qingyu and the aunties were expressing their gratitude, Jiang Mingyue and her brother happened to pass by the gate of the family compound and were about to go home.

Jiang Mingyue saw several old ladies in front of her talking excitedly around a young girl, and couldn't help but look over with curiosity.

But the more she looked, the more she felt that the girl's back looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.

At this moment, Gu Qingyu had just finished thanking the ladies and was turning around to walk towards the end of the family compound.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the man's face as he turned around, and excitedly grabbed Jiang Mingyang's arm, "It's my sister, it's my eldest sister!"

Jiang Mingyang was walking fine when Jiang Mingyue suddenly grabbed his arm and he almost fell down.

Jiang Mingyang, who finally stood up straight, pulled off her sister's hand that was holding her arm and said impatiently, "Sister? There is no sister. Jiang Mingyue, are you seeing a ghost?"

"Really, sister is really here..." Jiang Mingyue started to sob and ran quickly towards Gu Qingyu in front of her.

"Sister! I miss you so much!" Gu Qingyu heard the sobbing sound coming from behind her. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Mingyue, who had grown into an adult, running towards her with her arms outstretched, and then hugged her.

Gu Qingyu looked at Jiang Mingzhu, who was lying on his shoulder, hugging him tightly and crying loudly, and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, stop crying!" Gu Qingyu reached out and gently stroked the back of the other person's head, saying comfortingly.

Jiang Mingyue looked at Gu Qingyu aggrievedly and said, "I know you've returned to Beijing, but Mom never told me where you live, otherwise I would have come to find you long ago!"

While Gu Qingyu and Jiang Mingyue were talking, Jiang Mingyang also ran over and said in surprise, "Sister, why are you here?"

Gu Qingyu looked at the sunny boy standing in front of her, who was already a head taller than her, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm here to see you two!"

After hearing Gu Qingyu's words, the Jiang brothers and sisters immediately smiled.

"Come on, sister, let's go back and talk now!" Jiang Mingyue took Gu Qingyu's arm and walked towards home.

Jiang Mingyang is older now, and it is not convenient for him to stay close to Gu Qingyu like he did when he was a child.

So, he pointed at the things in Gu Qingyu's hand and said, "Sister, let me carry these things!"

Gu Qingyu didn't hesitate to hear that and directly handed the things in her hand to Jiang Mingyang. "Our Mingyang has really grown up and become sensible. Thank you for your hard work!"

Jiang Mingyue, who was standing by, said jealously, "Sister, don't just praise Jiang Mingyang. Am I ignorant?"

Gu Qingyu looked at Jiang Mingyue who was acting cute and coquettish towards her and said lovingly, "Who said that? If our Mingyue is not sensible, then there will be no sensible people!"

Jiang Mingyue raised her eyebrows proudly at her brother, "Did you hear that? I said I'm the most sensible person!"

Jiang Mingyang couldn't stand his sister's smug look, so he rolled his eyes and grumbled, "Yes, yes, you are the most sensible, okay!"

Gu Qingyu smiled and patted their shoulders, and said helplessly, "Okay, you two brothers, stop making trouble, let's go back first!" The three of them talked and laughed as they walked to the end of the family compound.

Jiang Mingyue led her into the living room, sat her down on the sofa, and began to bustle about. "Sister, please sit down. I'll go get you some tea!"

Gu Qingyu sat down and looked around the room. She asked curiously, "Huh? It's Sunday today. Aren't my uncle and my mom here?"

Jiang Mingyang reluctantly explained, "They were finally transferred back from the southwest, and now is the time for them to actively perform in the unit."

"During this period, they both worked overtime at their respective companies almost every weekend."

Gu Qingyu nodded after hearing this, and then asked, "Where's Grandma Jiang? Didn't she come to live with you?"

"No, my cousins ​​are back from the countryside, and my grandma lives with them in the old house!"

"So, there are only two of you in this house. Can you take care of yourselves?" Gu Qingyu asked with a frown.

At this moment, Jiang Mingyue came out of the kitchen with a tea tray and just heard Gu Qingyu's question.

So, Jiang Mingyue handed the tea to Gu Qingyu and explained, "Sister, don't worry about us. Drink some water first, and I'll take care of the rest!"

"Neither of us performed well in the college entrance exam and didn't even get into college, but we didn't want to work in a factory, so we enrolled in a cram school nearby to review."

"For an extra 15 yuan a month for food, this cram school provides lunch and dinner. Apart from breakfast, we don't have to worry about anything else, so we can focus on studying!"

Gu Qingyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and teased with a smile, "You two are studying so hard now? I remember when some people were little, as soon as they were asked to do their homework at home, these two would cheat!"

As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, the Jiang siblings were embarrassed and blushed.

The truth is that they really didn't like studying when they were young. In order to avoid doing homework, they used to find many ways, either to drink water or to go to the toilet. Sometimes they would go to the toilet seven or eight times while doing homework!

"Sister, what are you talking about? This is so old news, it's not time to bring up the past now!"

"Mingyang is right, sister, please stop looking at people with your old eyes now, okay? When a man hasn't been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes!"

The two siblings tried their best to explain to her, and Gu Qingyu burst out laughing with her hands covering her mouth. Jiang Mingyue understood everything when she saw this. Her sister was deliberately trying to make them happy!

So she let out a howl and pounced on Gu Qingyu who was sitting on the sofa, and immediately the two sisters started fighting.

After finally breaking free from Jiang Mingyue's clutches, Gu Qingyu sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said, "Alright, alright, I was wrong just now. Let's call a truce now, okay?"

Jiang Mingyue snorted twice upon hearing this, and said rather complacently, "In that case, I will be magnanimous and let you go this time!"

The brothers and sisters played around for a while, and the estrangement caused by not seeing each other for so many years was largely dispelled!

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Gu Qingyu suggested, "Since the adults are not here, how about we go out for dinner today? It can be regarded as a reward for your hard work in studying lately!"

When Jiang Mingyue heard that they could go out for dinner, she immediately burst into laughter and said, "Okay! Okay!" Jiang Mingyang smiled and nodded in agreement.

During this period, he ate meals prepared by the cram school every day, but the cooking skills of the aunt were really not that good, and he was about to vomit.

After Gu Qingyu handed the gifts she brought to Jiang Mingyue and put them away, she took the brother and sister straight to the private restaurant recommended to her by Chen Yuanchao.

While waiting for the food to be served, Gu Qingyu slowly led the topic to the question she wanted to ask.

"After Mom comes back, will she still work in the original hospital?" Gu Qingyu asked the Jiang siblings.

"Yes, it's still the same hospital!" Jiang Mingyue nodded in agreement.

Gu Qingyu sighed and said, "If that's the case, then it's not close to where you live now!"

"That's right! And Mom sometimes has to work night shifts, so she's basically only free to come back on Saturdays and Sundays!" Jiang Mingyang nodded and said with sympathy.

Seeing Gu Qingyu mention Duan Xuezhi, Jiang Mingyue raised her head and asked cautiously, "Sister, are you going to look for mom?"

"Well, when I have time, I'll go to the hospital and take a look!"

The Jiang siblings were delighted to hear this, thinking that after so many years, the relationship between Gu Qingyu and Duan Xuezhi had eased.

Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue looked at Gu Qingyu happily and said, "If Mom knew you went to see her, I don't know how happy she would be!"

In response to Jiang Mingyue's words, Gu Qingyu just smiled and said nothing.

She didn't think Duan Xuezhi would be happy to see her!

"By the way, I heard a little news from the Gu family a while ago. It said that Uncle Jiang's work arrangements were not going smoothly after he was transferred back this time. What's going on?"

When they heard Gu Qingyu ask this question, the Jiang siblings, who had just been smiling, immediately changed their expressions.

"This is purely the work of a villain who is trying to make things difficult for Dad!" Jiang Mingyue said gritting her teeth.

"Ah? But I see Uncle Jiang is already the head of urban construction?" Gu Qingyu asked in confusion.

Seeing Gu Qingyu asking, Jiang Mingyang finally explained, "My father has been rated as excellent in the performance evaluation in the southwest over the years. Logically, he will be transferred to a unit of the same level after he returns!"

"But when my father was in the southwest, he offended the in-laws of the third branch of the Lin family, and they deliberately blocked his job placement."

Lin family relatives? Gu Qingyu finally understood why Duan Xuezhi had come to her without any respect for her dignity.

Gu Qingyu asked curiously, "How was it resolved? The position of the head of urban construction was even promoted half a level higher than before."

Jiang Mingyang shook his head upon hearing this. "I don't know about that. Anyway, after waiting for more than two months, my dad took up his post!"

Seeing this, Gu Qingyu stopped asking any further questions. She could find out more about this matter later when she had time.

"Forget it, it's already been resolved so let's not talk about it anymore!"

"Now that Uncle Jiang has successfully taken office, let's celebrate and have a drink!" Gu Qingyu raised the glass on the table and gestured to the brother and sister.

"Come on, let's toast!" Jiang Mingyue was the first to stand up and raise his glass in response.

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Gu Qingyu and the other two ate and drank for more than an hour before leaving. After sending the slightly tipsy Jiang siblings home, Gu Qingyu took the bus to his home.

The information we learned from the Jiang brothers and sisters was limited, but one thing was certain: Jiang Kejian did eventually hook up with a big shot.

Although the person who made things difficult for Kejian was a relative of the third branch of the Lin family, most people were unwilling to offend him for this, after all, the Lin family was behind them.

Moreover, the other party only delayed Jiang Kejian's employment time and did not take any other unnecessary actions.

Most people would endure this kind of thing for a year or two, and when the time comes, Jiang Kejian will naturally be allowed to join the company smoothly.

Gu Qingyu now began to wonder who had helped Jiang Kejian. After all, there weren't many families in this city who didn't give face to the Lin family!

Also, Duan Xuezhi’s reaction was very strange!

Based on Gu Qingyu's understanding of Duan Xuezhi over the years, how could she be willing to work in the hospital for a long time and leave Jiang Kejian alone at home?

Gu Qingyu has been well aware of Duan Xuezhi's love-brained nature for many years. She only goes home once a week. This is really not something she would do!

This is so weird. Something must have happened here. I just don’t know if it has anything to do with the people who are helping Jiang Kejian behind the scenes!

If she wanted to find out the truth, it would probably take quite some time, but there was no need to rush, as she had plenty of time.

After keeping this in mind, Gu Qingyu knew that it was time to go back to school and continue her hard study career.

It had only been a little over a month since the start of the school year, but all the students in the Economics Department knew that Gu Qingyu from Economics Class 2 was famous.

Moreover, Gu Qingyu not only rolled it up herself, but also led the entire dormitory and even the entire Economics Class 2 to roll it up.

Every morning at 5 o'clock, as soon as the dormitory door opens, the students in Class of Economics go crazy and rush to the playground to run and recite English.

After the evening self-study ended, none of the students in the class went back to the dormitory to rest. They all read until the dormitory was about to close.
