CHAPTER 1066: CHAPTER 1068: HE WANTS TO MARRY YOU?

The doctor looked at the few big bills on the table, muttering, "Does having money make you great? The child isn’t even sure whose it is."

"Doctor Hu."

The suddenly appearing voice startled the doctor. Seeing it was a nurse, he let out a sigh of relief.

...

South City, the Gu Family.

"Mingzhu, tell me, what should we do?" Fang Yue was at a loss. The Gu Family’s fabric factory was almost unsustainable; without the factory, where would the money come from in the future?

"Mom, worrying won’t help. I have a feeling this situation isn’t simple." Gu Mingzhu furrowed her brows. Logically, she had mobilized her classmates to help sell fabric and had cleared most of the stock. Jin Yuanbao even brought in a boss from out of town to place an order for fabric. Just a little more time, she was sure she could revive the Gu Family’s fabric factory.

But that boss would rather pay a penalty than take the order. She felt something was off.

She asked Jin Yuanbao, but he just kept apologizing, saying he couldn’t reach the person.

"Could it be that we’ve offended someone? Could it be the Jiang Family?" Fang Yue speculated.

Gu Mingzhu shook her head, denying, "Impossible, Jiang Jing and their family aren’t like that."

Fang Yue, seeing her still defending Jiang Jing’s family at this time, angrily said, "Mingzhu, you think the Jiang Family is good? When they married you, they said everything was great. And now? Not a single man is good!"

"If no man is good, then why did you marry me?" Gu Hai walked into the living room darkly.

"Old Gu, I wasn’t talking about you. I was talking about Jiang Jing. Who knows if the fabric factory’s issue is because the Jiang Family is taking advantage of the situation, acting like saints on the surface, but who knows what they’re doing behind the scenes?" Fang Yue said disdainfully, while cursing and disparaging the Jiang Family.

’Slap’

Suddenly, a loud slap echoed on Fang Yue’s face, and she fell onto the sofa with the force.

"Gu Hai, what are you doing!" Fang Yue looked at Gu Hai in disbelief. She covered her face, only feeling half of her face going numb.

"Mom, are you okay?" Gu Mingzhu quickly stepped forward to help Fang Yue up. She turned to Gu Hai and asked, "Dad, what happened? Why did you hit Mom?"

"Why? She knows herself." Gu Hai said coldly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Fang Yue and Gu Mingzhu.

"Dad, what’s going on?" Gu Mingzhu asked anxiously, "I know you’re worried about the fabric factory. I’ll come up with a solution."

"I heard Jin Yuanbao is pursuing you? He wants to marry you?" Gu Hai suddenly changed the subject.

Before Gu Mingzhu could speak, Fang Yue objected. She covered her face and said, "What’s Jin Yuanbao? Is he worthy of Mingzhu? Gu Hai, if something happened to the factory, who knows who you offended outside? You can take it out on me, but Mingzhu is your daughter!"

"Ha." Gu Hai sneered at Fang Yue, suddenly reminded of the time she wanted Xu Nianhua to marry Xie Liang. He spoke harshly, "Didn’t you want Nianhua to marry Xie Liang before? Jin Yuanbao is willing to marry Mingzhu; it’s her fortune. She grew up with her, helping the Gu Family through a tough time, so what? Why was it okay for Xu Nianhua and not for her?"

Gu Hai’s gaze was sharp, almost making Gu Mingzhu shiver.

"Dad, I want to help the Gu Family too, but that’s my lifelong happiness! Dad, did I do something wrong? Why did you suddenly..." Gu Mingzhu choked up, tears welling in her eyes. Normally, this look of hers was what softened Gu Hai’s heart the most.
