Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Are You Really Going to Be This Heartless?

As soon as Xinyan left, Professor Bai walked towards the neighboring research office.

As soon as he entered, the professors inside turned to look at him and spoke in unison, "How did it go?"

Professor Bai was all smiles, "It’s done."

The professors were overjoyed to hear this. They had been worried that the girl wouldn’t easily agree, given that she had expressed from the start that she wouldn’t pursue a career in medicine.

One of the professors suggested, "It’s almost time to get off work, and since everyone’s happy, how about we go for a drink to celebrate?"

This suggestion was met with everyone’s approval.

Professor Bai sighed, "This is the first time in my life that I’ve ever schemed to persuade a student, begging her to study this."

After saying this, he burst into laughter.

Another professor who had suggested having a drink chimed in, "She is truly outstanding and deserving. Even if we can’t change her mind in the future, I believe she won’t just stand by when she encounters tricky cases, and that’s enough."

The next day, Xinyan also received her spot to join the delegation visit as planned.

After the final exams, she found some time to take a set of wedding anniversary photos with He Jinxuan, and then began a two-week intensive training session.

At the Gu Family’s house, Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing had originally planned today to drop off their son and then go to the department store to pre-order home appliances for their dowry.

But before they could leave, they heard Liang Yifang coming over with a few children.

Mr. Gu’s face darkened, but he had anticipated this, "Let them in."

Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing naturally wouldn’t let Mr. Gu face them alone.

Gu Wanqing put her son in her mother Tao Shuqing’s arms, "Mom, take Junjun to the backyard to play; Jingchen and I will stay with Dad to handle this."

Tao Shuqing picked up her little grandson and nodded gently to her daughter.

Liang Yifang, having run out of options, brought her children over, hoping Mr. Gu would forgive Gu Hongrui for the sake of their past together abroad.

When she walked in, she looked at Mr. Gu sitting at the head seat, "Uncle, I came today with my face thick, full of shame."

After speaking, her eyes turned red, and seeing that Mr. Gu didn’t respond, she continued, "I know Hongrui has wronged you and Wanqing, but after all, he’s still a member of the Gu family. I hope you’ll be merciful for the sake of us few.

Boyuan and Boyan are at the age to marry; if he really goes to prison, how will we live?

Uncle, please forgive him this time, considering the breezes of those past times abroad."

After finishing, she turned to her children who had followed her, "You all come over and plead for your father."

The two sons looked awkward; they were dragged here by their mother.

They knew how outrageously wrong their father was, but they couldn’t bring themselves to criticize, since they also benefited from the illicit money. Since the exposure, they’ve been deeply ashamed.

Han Jingchen was about to speak, but Gu Wanqing stopped him.

She cleared her throat, "Sister-in-law, this matter isn’t something you can plead with anyone. It’s not about taking a wrong path or a misstep; it’s breaking the law."

Upon hearing this refusal to spare her husband, Liang Yifang’s face changed, "We are relatives of the Gu family and have lived together for many years. Are you really going to be so ruthless?"

At this point, Gu Yingying, tearfully, also spoke, "My elder brother’s former partner broke up with him because of my dad’s affairs. If my dad is really convicted, what will we do?"

Han Jingchen could no longer listen and sternly said, "Clearly, it’s Gu Hongrui who broke the law, yet you come here to morally blackmail my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife, constantly harping on past relationships.

As far as I know, it has always been my father-in-law’s family caring for you; isn’t it time to stop?"

At these words, Liang Yifang and her children flushed with shame.

Then, Gu Boyuan stepped forward, "Granduncle, aunt, I apologize. It was wrong for my father and wrong to come here and plead. I’ll take them away now."

Liang Yifang hadn’t expected her eldest son to say this, "Gu Boyuan, do you understand what you’re saying?

You ungrateful child."
