Chapter 609 - 605: Unrepentantly Lustful
Xu Wenwan thought that by joining the An Family, she could live a life free of worries.
But where in the world is there such a thing as a life free of worries? Besides the wealth accumulated by the older generation, one also needs to plan for themselves.
Even an Emperor can’t hold onto his kingdom forever, let alone a single family.
They rise to glory quickly, and fall just as fast.
Hopefully, Xu Wenwan wouldn’t regret her choice today.
’If she does regret it, it will probably be because she spent all her time in school chasing rich heirs instead of reading a couple of history books. If she had even the slightest understanding of the future course of history, she wouldn’t have done something so foolish.’
Xu Wenwan’s words reminded her of her own cousin. At that moment, the expression on Gu Jiaojiao’s face was identical to her cousin’s.
When she had acquired the company and ramped up production, her cousin had come to her and said something similar: "As long as you can bear the consequences."
As it turned out, her cousin was heading for her own doom.
’Is the An Family heading for the same fate?’
’No, that’s impossible. Gu Jiaojiao isn’t my cousin. What does she know?’
’She’s just jealous of me.’
Xu Wenwan quickly snapped back to her senses, but Gu Jiaojiao had already walked away.
In the end, Xu Wenwan returned to the car in a state of utter humiliation, only to find An Dongyang had long since grown impatient.
"You said you were just going to say goodbye to someone. What took so long? It’s almost dark."
Xu Wenwan didn’t say a word.
An Dongyang didn’t press the matter and drove back to the County Town.
「The An Residence.」
An Mingjiang went to work today, only to receive a call from the principal of the commune school.
An Mingjiang was absolutely livid.
He had thought An Dongyang was just making a scene over a woman for the past couple of days and had skipped school because of it. He never imagined that his son hadn’t shown up to school even once since the semester began.
An Mingjiang went straight home.
When he got home, he discovered the car was also missing.
Only after asking around did he learn that not only had his son married Xu Wenwan, but he had also taken the car. For a moment, An Mingjiang didn’t even know which issue to be angry about first.
’Skipping work? Secretly taking the car? Or getting married without my consent!’
None of these were minor issues.
An Mingjiang slammed his hand on the table in a rage.
"Why did you give him the household registration book? My own son got married and I didn’t even know about it! Weren’t you just against this yesterday?"
Wang Simin opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to explain.
She hadn’t wanted to agree at the time, but she simply couldn’t refuse him.
’Besides, they’re already married. What can be done now? We just have to accept it.’
Xu Wenwan and An Dongyang had no idea that An Mingjiang was waiting for them back home.
But these matters were of no concern to Gu Jiaojiao. Right now, she was focused on the two children’s schooling.
The commune elementary school had also started its semester. Gu Jiaojiao gave the two their schoolbags, having also bought them new pencils, erasers, and notebooks, ready to take them to school the next day.
Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang seemed very happy.
Coincidentally, Sweet Girl was in the same class as Lin Daya, and Xiao Yang was in the same class as Lin Tie Dan. One was in second grade, and the other was in first.
The commune’s middle school and elementary school weren’t far apart. After dropping off the two children, Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan went to work.
Just as she arrived at school, the principal walked in with a man. The man wore a long coat and glasses and had a refined appearance. According to the principal’s introduction, this was the new teacher who was only now showing up more than ten days after the semester began—An Dongyang.
’His surname is An?’
’What a coincidence.’
Hearing the name, Gu Jiaojiao glanced at Leng Yuan, who gave her a slight nod.
’Oh, so this is Xu Wenwan’s man!’
Gu Jiaojiao immediately lost interest. She averted her gaze and started looking at her textbook.
