Chapter 1496: Do You Like Her?

Mrs Gu was about to hit Gu Meng when a large hand suddenly reached over and grabbed Mrs Gu’s wrist.

Mrs Gu was in pain and the stick in her hand fell to the ground.

Mrs Gu glared at the man holding her wrist with a ferocious expression and scolded, “Where did you come from, ugly freak? You look so scary, why did you come out to scare people…”

Before Mrs Gu could finish, she was interrupted by a cold and angry shout. “Shut up!”

Mrs Gu looked at Gu Meng in disbelief, her eyes fierce. “Wretched girl, who are you talking to?”

Gu Meng pulled out Mrs Gu’s hand that was held by Ah Dai, but she did not let go of Mrs Gu. Her clear eyes stared at her coldly. “No matter how you scold or hit me, I have never resisted because you gave birth to me! But it doesn’t mean that I’m really afraid of you. As long as I want to, I can break your wrist right now!”

Mrs Gu felt Gu Meng’s grip on her wrist tighten and she gasped in pain. A trace of fear appeared in her fierce eyes. “You unfilial thing, how dare you hit your mother…”

It was only when Mrs Gu was almost unable to bear the pain that Gu Meng shook off Mrs Gu’s red wrist. “I’ll be responsible for Daddy’s medical fees. I don’t think you want to see me for the time being. I won’t stay at home and make you upset. Go back!”Mrs Gu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the man, who had been silent, suddenly said coldly, “Scram!”

Mrs Gu looked at Ah Dai, who looked like a demon from hell. She shrank her neck, glared at Gu Meng, and left.

…

After Mrs Gu left, Ah Dai carried his luggage into the house again.

Gu Meng followed behind him and glared at him unhappily. “You’re not leaving?”

He crouched down and took out a black bag from his suitcase. “This money should be enough for your family to buy a fishing boat and treat your father.”

Gu Meng’s eyes widened slightly when she saw the bag of cash. “Did you earn all of this after working for three years?”

He nodded.“You’re amazing.” Seeming to have thought of something, Gu Meng went under the bed and took out a small metal box after a while. “This is the watch you left in my brother’s bag when you left that year.”

He looked at Gu Meng. “You didn’t sell it?”

“Why should I sell it?” She took out the expensive watch from the metal box and put it on his wrist. “I won’t sell your things!”

His dark eyes stared at her for a while before he stuffed the bag of money into her arms. “If I stay here in the future, I won’t need to spend any money. You can use it all.”

“I don’t want…”

“You want to marry the son of the village head?”

Gu Meng shook her head. “I don’t want to, but…”

“Then take it.”

Gu Meng looked down, feeling warmth in her heart. Her eyes felt a little teary and hot. She sniffled. “Thank you. Take this money as a loan. I will definitely return it to you.”She was a girl with a strong self-esteem. If he said that she did not need to return the money, she might not take it.

He said “up to you” with a cold expression and took his clothes to take a shower.

…

Half a month later.

Two rich people came to the fishing village, supposedly to raise pearls. One of them was a jewelry designer.

Gu Meng had gotten to know the two of them by chance.

The owner of the pearl was called Fu Cheng and the other person was Fu Cheng’s friend, Mu Yi.

Mu Yi was two years older than Gu Meng and was a talkative and sports-loving young man. The university he was studying in was the university Gu Meng had gotten into. However, she did not have the chance to study there anymore.

Mu Yi showed Gu Meng the school photos and told her many interesting things about university.

After getting to know each other, Mu Yi wanted to learn how to swim and asked Gu Meng if there was anyone who was good at swimming in the fishing village. If anyone could teach him how to swim, he would give them a reward.Gu Meng had been busy saving money recently. Hearing that Mu Yi could earn money from swimming, she immediately recommended herself.

Gu Meng was more inexperienced in relationships. She was pretty and there were many boys who liked her since she was young, but there were few who confessed to her because they became brothers after spending time together.

She had never been in a relationship and did not know how it felt to like someone.

That was why she did not feel that Mu Yi had feelings for her. She only felt that Mu Yi’s personality was similar to hers. He was carefree and relaxed.

…

Ever since Gu Meng brought back the money Ah Dai had lent her, Mr Gu had recovered from his illness and his family had bought a new fishing boat. Although Mrs Gu still did not like her, she had stopped hitting and scolding her.

Ah Dai usually helped Mr Gu to fish out at sea when he had nothing to do. They would go in the morning and return in the evening. Gu Meng had advised him not to get involved in her family’s matters, but he said that he had nothing to do and helping Mr Gu was also to pass time.

After spending a long time with him, Gu Meng realized that he was a very opinionated person. No one could stop him from doing anything he wanted.With Ah Dai’s help, Father Gu gained a big harvest every time he went out to sea.

On this day, Ah Dai and Father Gu returned to the fishing village from the sea and Father Gu invited Ah Dai to eat at their house.

Ah Dai could not refuse. Besides, he had not seen Gu Meng for several days, so he followed Father Gu to the Gu family’s house.

When Mrs Gu saw Ah Dai, her expression was still dark. However, thinking of the money he had lent her, Mrs Gu still went to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes.

When they arrived at the Gu residence, Ah Dai did not see Gu Meng.

What was she busy with recently?

When Gu Che returned home, he saw Ah Dai coming over. Unlike Mrs Gu and Gu Jiao, who did not like Ah Dai and thought that Ah Dai looked scary, he felt that Ah Dai looked more handsome the more he looked at him. He was very masculine. Besides, he was quite smart. He knew all the homework that he did not know. He even explained it more vividly and easily than the teacher.

Gu Che saw Ah Dai looking around and seemed to know what he was looking for. He hurriedly pulled him aside. “Brother Ah Dai, are you looking for my sister?”

Ah Dai pursed his lips tightly. “No.”

“Brother Ah Dai, don’t be embarrassed. If you want to see my sister, just say it!”

Ah Dai looked at Gu Che. “Where did your sister go?”

Gu Che chuckled. “Didn’t two young bosses come to the village recently? My sister has been teaching one of the bosses to swim recently and even helped them cook. But Brother Ah Dai, don’t misunderstand. My sister will be rewarded for helping them!”

Ah Dai’s eyes darkened. He walked to the side and took out a cigarette from his pocket. Biting his lips, he lowered his head and lit it. His side profile looked a little unapproachable.

Gu Che felt that Brother Ah Dai looked extremely handsome while smoking.

“Brother Ah Dai, do you like my sister?”

Ah Dai hit the back of Gu Che’s head. “You’re so young, don’t gossip.”

Gu Che wanted to say something when he suddenly saw two figures walking over from outside the yard. He hurriedly pulled Ah Dai to hide in the dark. “Brother Ah Dai, look, my sister is back.”

Ah Dai looked up and saw that not only was Gu Meng back, there was also a tall and handsome young man beside her.
