Chapter 415: 415 Chun Lei’s Spring_1

Gu Chen’s business was thriving recently, with a daily net profit of over four thousand dollars—it was simply a windfall.

And the business of Qiwei Vegetarian was also gradually becoming stable.

After all, it was just a small shop of around one hundred square meters, with a limited capacity for customers each day.

Moreover, he was only open for about four hours a day; if he wanted to break through further,

he would have to find a way to step back and let the people around him take over the management.

Another early morning came, and Ji Pianran left in a hurry after breakfast.

She had postponed the work and meetings from the day before to later on.

As a result, she was still busy and not finished even now.

As for leaving work early, that was probably impossible again.

Fortunately, Gu Chen and Tangtang had long since become accustomed to this and weren’t much fazed by it.

Speaking of which, children are always fickle in their endeavors.

Even his daughter Tangtang was no exception.

She had been looking forward to going to kindergarten every day when she wasn’t attending.

But now, after more than a week of classes, she had also become a bit lazy.

Even though she had now become the boss of the kindergarten, she still entertained the idea of taking leave to play at home.

This was probably a common issue with every child.

Naturally, Gu Chen wouldn’t indulge his daughter; after changing Tangtang’s clothes and doing her hair in the morning,

he ignored her pitiful look and stuffed her into the car.

And because Gu Chen’s own medical skills were quite decent, small tricks like feigning illness

wouldn’t work at all in front of him, and he took Tangtang straight to Little Sun Kindergarten.

Today, Teacher Zhang wasn’t on duty at the gate.

It wasn’t until he watched his daughter being escorted into the class by a crowd of kids

that he left, contented.

Thinking of skipping class? All those tricks are leftovers from my own childhood; you won’t even find a window to escape through, let alone a door.

But no sooner had he returned to his vehicle than Li Chunlei called him.

This guy, ever since borrowing Gu Chen’s Mercedes-Benz van, hadn’t shown up for work at the kindergarten at all.

He was basically in a state of long-term no contact, but thanks to his extraordinary academic credentials,

Little Sun Kindergarten had no intention at all of firing this out-of-tune intern.

They even continued to pay his internship salary as usual.

From time to time, they would boast to the parents that even a graduate student from Chuan University was teaching at their kindergarten.

Indeed, money comes to the bank account while one sits at home.

It wasn’t until today, when the other party called, that Gu Chen discovered his good brother who had drifted out of contact

had, through relentless efforts, finally scored a home run a few days ago.

Unfortunately, this incident was also found out by Li Chunlei’s parents.

The elders were upset on learning their good-for-nothing son wasn’t interning seriously outside,

but was instead hanging around a young widow with a child every day.

Now they’ve warned they’re ready to flay him and turn his skin into shoe insoles at any moment.

"Gu Chen, I’m really sorry, I was planning to return the car to you,

but now I don’t even dare to go back to Chuan City, and can only lay low with Ranran and her mother for a while,

You know how my dad is, once he gets angry, he doesn’t recognize anyone,

It’s not that I’m afraid he’ll hit me,

but the doctor said his blood pressure is way too high, I’m afraid if we meet, it might provoke something serious, and that would be trouble."

On the other end of the phone, Li Chunlei spoke with an expression of sheer frustration.

Gu Chen couldn’t help but suppress a laugh at this point, and then teased over the phone.

"You know your Uncle Li’s temper, yet you deliberately tried to provoke him with your antics, so you’d deserve it if he broke your legs this time.

Plus, your mom’s family is a scholarly clan. Even though people don’t stick to those old rules much nowadays.

But if you’re planning on taking that girl home, do you think Aunt Xu would even let you through the door?"

"Ah~"

Li Chunlei sighed deeply, seemingly also feeling that this matter was a bit tricky.

But now was the time when his affair with the young widow was in full flame, full of love and tenderness.

Asking him to give up was just not possible.

"Brother, when we were in school, you always had the most ideas.

Quick, give me some advice, anything to help me get through this.

Next time I go back, I’ll kowtow to you or anything."

"Hey, are you trying to shorten my life, kid? Use that energy to kowtow to Uncle Li instead."

Gu Chen said with a chuckle, then suddenly shifted the tone and spoke with a playful air over the phone.

"But honestly, Chun Lei, is this woman really worth all this trouble?

You’re a master’s student at Chuan University now. If you just behave and come back, just endure a few more months of internship.

And after you graduate, if you want to get into any office or university, isn’t that just waiting for you to pick, even with your eyes closed?

Even if you don’t want a government job, with your family’s connections, doing business in Chuan City would be a piece of cake for you.

To give up such a bright future for a woman,

why bother?"

No sooner had Gu Chen’s words fallen than Li Chunlei immediately became defensive on the other side of the phone, his voice rising with anger.

"What do you mean ’for a woman’? This is true love; do you understand that—true love?

Gu Chen, I’ve always treated you like a brother. If you think that way too,

then we can’t be brothers anymore. Ranran is the woman I love.

A broken diploma means nothing. Even if the Heavenly King himself came along, I’d still marry her."

"Oh~"

Gu Chen drew out his voice over the phone, his smile becoming even more radiant.

"It seems you’ve already thought it through very clearly."

Only then did Li Chunlei realize and, holding the phone, suddenly felt a rush of frustration.

"You little rascal, so you were baiting me into saying all that, weren’t you?

Now that I’ve poured out my heart, it’s time for you to think of a plan for me."

"Who told you to never take things seriously over these years.

If I didn’t push you a bit, who knows, maybe you were just toying with the idea?

But I genuinely feel sorry for you. It’s the year 2000, and universities haven’t expanded their enrollment yet.

In the future, they say the college entrance exam is like an army trying to cross a single-log bridge.

With your qualifications, it’s like that army trying to walk a tightrope.

I need to know how much this young widow means to you before I can help you make a plan."

Pausing there, Gu Chen then continued to speak over the phone.

"The thing is, Chun Lei, if you’re already this determined, then there isn’t really much choice left.

Since you two have already ’cooked the rice,’ might as well let it ’pop into popcorn.’

Wait a year or two for Uncle Li’s anger to subside, and when he sees his grandchild, he’ll naturally forgive you.

As for now, I think you’d better just head over to Haicheng..."
