Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 812 - 659: Love Spans Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, Love Lasts a Lifetime

Chapter 812: Chapter 659: Love Spans Thousands of Mountains and Rivers, Love Lasts a Lifetime

Qiu Mingyan’s mother is named Gui Lanzhi.

With trembling lips, the honest rural woman couldn’t believe the scene she had just witnessed.

Looking again towards the direction of the room, Gui Lanzhi said, "Mingyan, you..."

Qiu Mingyan’s face reddened with embarrassment, and he lowered his eyes.

Ten minutes later, sitting in front of the chicken coop in the yard, Gui Lanzhi was feeding the hens with grain while saying, "Is that the girl you mentioned before from the big city?"

Qiu Mingyan held a cigarette butt between his fingers, took a puff, and nodded, "Yes."

Gui Lanzhi’s expression showed a subtle ripple, and she lowered her head, murmuring, "I should have realized it earlier, I should have realized it..."

This kind of mumbling left Qiu Mingyan without a response.

After a pause, Gui Lanzhi’s expression grew serious, "But Mingyan, how is this going to work? You’re supposed to marry the village chief’s daughter, and now you..."

Gui Lanzhi really liked Feng Chengyue. From her dining habits to her behavior and the way she spoke, she gave the impression of a perfect young lady—so perfect that it made them feel a bit intimidated, as if they were of a much lower class.

Gui Lanzhi hadn’t received much education, but she understood some basic principles of life. A girl with such grace would never marry into a family like theirs. Besides, Mingyan had once personally promised to marry the village chief’s daughter, even writing a marriage agreement and leaving his fingerprint.

Shaking her head, Gui Lanzhi continued, "Mingyan, I don’t understand the things you learned in the big city, how you could sleep with a girl without being married, and why the girl would come all the way here to find you. But, son, given our family’s situation, we’re definitely not a match for that girl. Furthermore, you promised the village chief that you’d stay in the village for life and be a doctor for everyone. The village chief’s family has been kind to us, and he even sold his blood to help you achieve what you have today. That kindness cannot be forgotten..."

All the way, Gui Lanzhi kept advising gently.

She noticed that the entire time, her son only smoked, remaining silent and not saying a word.

Finally, Gui Lanzhi felt uneasy and trembled with confusion, asking uncertainly, "Do you think your mom is being too much, like breaking up a pair of lovebirds?"

"No..." Qiu Mingyan finally spoke, and his first words left Gui Lanzhi’s heart aching, "I never deserved her in the first place. What you said is true and right. Don’t worry, I haven’t touched her, and I will send her away."

After speaking, Qiu Mingyan smiled and pressed the cigarette butt into the soil, extinguishing it.

Then he went to the doorway to get his motorcycle, preparing to go into town to see how the health clinic preparations were coming along.

Qiu Mingyan was calm and obedient, as if he had already considered these matters a thousand times over and didn’t need anyone to persuade him further.

Gui Lanzhi, however, sat in front of the chicken coop, feeling a deep and dull pain in her heart.

Her son slept with that girl fully clothed every day, but didn’t touch her? Oh heavens, Gui Lanzhi’s mood plummeted instantly, miserably compared to if her son had actually touched the girl and now had to part ways.

If her son had indeed wronged the girl, she could still consider apologizing to her.

But since her son never touched the girl, where could she direct her apologies? She could only look at their destitute hillside home and ache for her son’s self-esteem, wondering what kind of blow it must have taken for him to feel so inferior as to avoid reaching out to such a lovely young lady?

It ultimately boiled down to their family being too poor, too indebted to their son?

Gui Lanzhi sat there, her mood low.

...

Meanwhile.

There was another woman who vaguely suspected that Feng Chengyue and Qiu Mingyan’s relationship might be unusual.

Feng Chengyue had been in their village for four days already.

Qiu Mingyan was already the best man in their village, handsome, with good character. From the moment he returned with so much money, the entire village had been excited.

Of course, the happiest person was the village chief’s daughter—Mai Manxiang.

She had waited so many years for Qiu Mingyan, each year passing by with his excuses, "Just let me earn money for two more years. This way, I’ll be able to buy more equipment and medicines for everyone in the future. Everything is very expensive now, and once I return, earning money will be very hard. If Ah Xiang can’t wait, she can marry someone else first. It’s okay."

Mai Manxiang’s emotions were on the brink of collapse. If it weren’t for the fact that Qiu Mingyan hadn’t been involved with any other girl all these years, she would have doubted if he ever considered her.

She was the most beautiful girl in the village, and with her father being the village chief, if not for Qiu Mingyan, who else could she marry?
