At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 377 - 366: The Final Stance

Chapter 377: Chapter 366: The Final Stance

After learning that the mechanical factory from his memory had been demolished and that the uncles and aunts who had once helped him had disappeared, Gu Yu felt unsettled for a long time.

They had once helped him, and now that he had achieved some success, he wanted to give back to those people, but he couldn’t find them anymore.

Fortunately, destiny is always full of coincidences.

He met Lin Xinyue and encountered the helpful Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin from his past.

This resolved many of his inner conflicts.

Perhaps those uncles and aunts were just like Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, living somewhere in Modu, leading ordinary but fulfilling lives.

“Speaking of which, we were really lucky! After Kaiyuan Heavy Machinery Factory was dismantled, each one of us received a hefty severance pay, along with a subsidized apartment.”

“Everyone is living quite well now.”

Mrs. Lin murmured to herself.

Hearing this, Gu Yu felt at peace.

Since it was so, he had nothing more to cling to.

In that era, having divided up the money and houses, those who remained in Modu were bound to be living well now.

If someone had a longer-term view back then and bought additional property, relying on Modu’s real estate boom over the years, they might be living quite lavishly.

Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin were examples of this.

They got an apartment of over a hundred square meters in the commercial streets of Xuhui District, used that apartment as collateral for a loan to start a business, and then bought another apartment in this neighborhood where prices have risen to over a hundred thousand per square meter through business loans.

Two apartments, one company.

They were worth tens of millions.

Though in Modu this might not count as extremely wealthy, it was enough to surpass the lifetime goals of most people.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. You two must be hungry, right? Let’s eat.”

Mrs. Lin’s gaze shifted from the past memories, sweeping over the faces of Gu Yu and her daughter listening intently to the story, showing a melancholic smile that lingered with nostalgia.

Her gaze paused on Gu Yu’s face for a second.

In a daze, it seemed to overlap with the image of the young boy in her memory.

But soon, she cast off that thought, as there are not so many coincidences in the world.

Gu Yu did not delve deeper into this topic either.

He was not yet ready to reveal that he was indeed that little boy from back then.

Some things are better kept mysterious for the time being, as revealing them too soon could bring unnecessary trouble to him and to Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin.

He knew that many people outside were curious about his identity, and any slip-up could lead to endless troubles.

Unless the system intervened using methods to erase everyone’s memory, he wouldn’t know how to handle it himself.

Logically, this would be the time to reveal his identity rather than keeping everyone in the dark, but sometimes things are just like this, everyone has their reasons that are hard to explain.

If Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin were not living well, Gu Yu might consider revealing his identity to help them, but now there was no need for that, and it was best to let this kind lie continue.

The group enjoyed a lively lunch together, with only Gu Yu harboring some complex thoughts.

Lin Xinyue noticed something was off with Gu Yu’s mood and thought it must be her mother’s words that made him recall his past.

In fact, she was not wrong.

“Yu, eat more vegetables, I don’t want you turning into a fatty!”

Lin Xinyue said with a smile as she placed a chopstick full of greens into Gu Yu’s bowl.

Gu Yu was momentarily oblivious and shoved it into his mouth, only to be pricked by a bone in the fish, snapping him back to reality.

“Hiss…”

He sucked in a breath of cold air and plucked the fish bone stuck in his gums.

It was no big deal, but his comical expression made everyone burst into laughter.

“What are you thinking about? You look so distracted. Don’t tell me you’re thinking about some senior or junior schoolgirl?”

Lin Xinyue said laughingly as she wiped off a grain of rice stuck at the corner of his mouth.

“Of course not! There’s no other girl in my eyes but you!”

Gu Yu, caught up in the heat of the moment, hurriedly defended himself, and the words that blurted out instantly made Lin Xinyue’s face turn red.

The people around them also frequently glanced over.

Seeing this attractive young couple teasing each other, everyone couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Among them, a guest who knew Mr. and Mrs. Lin joked, “Lin, Mrs. Lin, your daughter and son-in-law are truly a perfect match, one as beautiful as a fairy, the other handsome as Pan An, what good fortune.”

The guest, who looked to be about forty, gave a thumbs up while speaking, his eyes filled with envy.

Hearing the praise, Mr. and Mrs. Lin couldn’t stop smiling.

At their age, the thing they cared most about was their daughter’s marriage.

Now that their daughter had found the perfect partner, whom they were very satisfied with,

they naturally felt very joyful inside.

“Eat more, both of you eat more, don’t worry about getting fat, you need to eat well to have the energy for your busy day.”

Mrs. Lin quickly served food to the two youngsters.

She observed them briefly, and though they appeared spirited, their brows inevitably betrayed signs of fatigue from rushing around.

It was clear that the two had been very busy running around these past few days.

The fact that they had taken time out of their busy schedules to have a meal with them was already incredibly special, especially since Gu Yu had expressed today his intention to marry Xinyue.

Mrs. Lin’s heart felt as sweet as if honey had soaked into it.

“Be very careful on your trip.”

As lunch was almost over, the conversation returned to the original concern, and Mr. Lin, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly fixed his gaze on them.

Although he knew Gu Yu was very capable and that his daughter would be safe with Gu Yu, his worries were inevitable.

“We will, and besides, it won’t just be the two of us going this time.”

Gu Yu nodded seriously, his face breaking into a slightly mysterious smile.

Seeing that Gu Yu was well-prepared, Mr. Lin’s mind also eased.

After all, his son-in-law was much more capable than he was; what was there for him to worry about?

Even if he was worried, he couldn’t help much but just show his care as an elder.

“Dad, Mom, I offer you a toast.”

Gu Yu picked up a glass of juice and stood up to speak to Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin, caught off guard by Gu Yu’s sudden move, almost stood up as well, but Mr. Lin, being steady, gently pressed her down.

She then realized that this was Gu Yu’s final affirmation.

They both sat properly, smiling broadly at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu downed the juice in one gulp, then looked at Lin Xinyue, who also smiled happily back at him.

“Let’s continue eating…”

“Is Doctor Gu here?”

Gu Yu sat down, just about to pick up his chopsticks again.

Suddenly, the light at the back door dimmed, and then he heard someone calling him. As he turned his head, he saw three soldiers in uniform also staring at him.

“What do you need me for…?”

Before Gu Yu could finish, the three soldiers had already spotted him and walked up to Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue to salute, “Doctor Gu, Miss Lin, we are so sorry, but due to an emergency, we need to leave earlier than planned!”

Gu Yu was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on to what was happening.

He turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Lin, “Mom and Dad, Xinyue and I will have to leave now.”

Mr. and Mrs. Lin weren’t clear on the details, but seeing that the three soldiers held no malice and even showed great respect towards Gu Yu, they weren’t too nervous.

Mr. Lin nodded, “Alright, be careful.”

Gu Yu took Lin Xinyue’s hand and hurried off with the three soldiers to the green pickup truck outside.

The diners in the restaurant were all shocked, looking at Mr. and Mrs. Lin with even more respect in their eyes.

The Lin family’s son-in-law… was no ordinary man!
