Woven Second Threads Novel Chapter 257

In the darkness, Justin Gu closed his eyes.

For a long time, he held Eli and sat down on the steps.

The soft moonlight sprinkled down on them.

Eli wiped his tears and said, "When you leave, I will leave too."

"Where have you been?" Justin Gu asked while holding him.

Eli thought for a moment, "I'll go to a boarding school. When I turn eighteen, I'll go to the army. I'll be like my dad, definitely not like you!"

"You leave? Live on your own? Do you have money?"

"I do." Eli sobbed. "I have lucky money. I can also pick up garbage and sell it, and I can wash dishes in restaurants."

"Why don't you follow your mother? Don't you want your mother anymore?" Justin Gu ruffled his hair.

Eli sniffed, "I...I think so too, but you are no longer my father, is she still my mother? Besides, raising children is very tiring, and she is alone..."

It turns out that he has his own relationship logic.

He was an adopted child. Justin Gu adopted him first, and then he had Marinda Qingping as his mother. He didn't want to drag Marinda Qingping down. His own mother thought he was a drag, and Marinda Qingping was not his biological mother...

"Eli." Justin Gu looked at the flickering street lights outside the yard and said lightly, "She wants you from me."

"Wha...what?" Eli rubbed his eyes.

"Marinda Qingping, you want me to give you to her."

Eli was stunned.

"Eli." Those street lights fell in Justin Gu's eyes, and his eyes began to twinkle like fireflies. "After I leave, you must take good care of her, grow up quickly, and protect her."

Upon hearing this, Eli burst into tears again and shouted at him, "Why don't you take care of her yourself? Why don't you protect her?"

Justin Gu still said the same thing, and wiped his tears with his big hand, "Children, don't worry about adults' matters!"

Eli waved his hand away and looked at him questioningly, "Does the person named Chen have your child in his belly?"

Justin Gu:...

Justin Gu almost slapped him on the butt, "What are you talking about? Who did you learn these things from at such a young age?"

"Then why are you? If you keep talking about adults and children, just leave me alone... I won't support you in your old age! I won't care about you!" Eli's tone was still full of childishness.

Justin Gu stood up and hugged him together, "I don't need you to take care of him in old age, so you can take good care of Marinda Qingping in his old age!"

"You..." Eli struggled and kicked in his hands. Seeing that he was about to fight with him again, Justin Gu had already opened the door.

"Stop making trouble, let your mother worry." Justin Gu put him on the ground.

Eli snorted and ran back to his room.

Justin Gu glanced upstairs.

Marinda Qingping was sleeping in her second sister's room, and the door was closed.

He lowered his head and went upstairs to his and Marinda Qingping's room.

The room was filled with his and her things, but she had packed them all in an orderly manner. There were traces of his and her life together everywhere.

He took off his coat and pants and lay on the quilt. The faint fragrance on the pillow was the scent of her hair. It was the scent of his fingers running through her hair that filled his breath.

He drifted up and down in this breath, sleeping and waking up.

The next day was Sunday. Marinda Qingping acted as if nothing had happened. He even got up and washed up as if there was no Justin Gu in the house.

There was breakfast at home, and it was obviously bought by Justin Gu and placed on the table.

She didn't even take a look. After telling Eli to stay safe at home, she went out to the store.

Eli has packed his schoolbag and is ready to go out.

"Where are you going? Don't have breakfast?" Justin Gu grabbed Eli's schoolbag.

Eli slapped his hand, his face full of anger, "You are no longer a member of our family, you can't control it!"

Justin Gu:...

Eli opened the door and rushed out.

Justin Gu chased him out and saw that he was going to his sister's house. He knew that he was looking for wheat to play. There must be food at his sister's house.

After Marinda Qingping arrived at the store, everything was as usual, talking and laughing, receiving guests, and kneading dough for desserts.

Sister Zhao came early, the first wave had already been put into the oven, and Marinda Qingping was kneading the dough to prepare the second wave.

Just as he was about to start kneading, the door curtain was lifted and someone came in from outside.

Marinda Qingping really didn't want to see this person now, but he still came to her and took the basin from her hand.

She held down the basin and said, "What else are you doing here?"

All he said was, "I'll help you."

"No need." Marinda Qingping refused, "I said, I will live better without you, I don't need your help."

His expression darkened slightly.

"Then just think of me as helping my sister." He went to wash his hands, but still forcefully pulled the basin over and started kneading it.

Marinda Qingping was speechless by these words, but then he thought about whether he was worried that she would stop cooperating with Gu Youlian after the divorce, so he said, "Don't worry, you are you, the eldest sister is the eldest sister, I will work with her Let's work hard together in this store in the capital. I won't break up with her because of your relationship. As long as she is still willing to open a store with me, I will work with her."

"Yes." He rubbed his face and said, "My sister has a very kind heart, knows right from wrong, and is diligent. She is better than me."

Marinda Qingping sneered, but he knew that Gu Youlian was indeed better than him!

"She must be on this side." He added.

Just as she was talking, Gu Youlian lifted the curtain and called her, "Bottle!"

"Huh?" Marinda Qingping didn't know what was going on, but she didn't want to stay with Justin Gu anymore, so she went out.

As a result, I saw someone I didn't want to see in the store...Cassie Chen.

Gu Youlian whispered in her ear, "She said she was here to help Old Zheng deliver goods. When did she go to Old Zheng's place?"

Gu Youlian was already getting annoyed, "It's incredible, why can't you get rid of this person like a slug? Do you know why I called you back when my mother was sick during the summer vacation? It's because she was always with my mother I can't bear to do things in front of you. Now I'm fine, and I've followed you to the capital! What's going on!"

"What's going on? Isn't this clear?" Marinda Qingping couldn't help but said, "Don't ask your good brother?"

Gu Youlian choked and reacted. Can't you? This must have been done by her brother! Why is her brother as confused as her mother?

Cassie Chen came in dragging a box of fresh milk, milk powder and cream. When she saw Marinda Qingping and Gu Youlian, her face immediately became timid, "Sister, Marinda Qingping, it was Mr. Zheng who asked me to deliver the goods... .."

Gu Youlian's eyes widened. She couldn't be too irritable in the store or scare the customers away. "You are really capable! You can stick to anything!"

"Sister..." Cassie Chen's eyes turned red and her voice became louder, "I just want to make a living on my own. Now, although the job of delivering goods is hard, I cherish it very much. I still I didn't have time to thank Brother Chengzi. Is Brother Chengzi here? Brother Chengzi?"
