Chapter 584: Return to Jiang City
Gu Hongwei thought about the last incident at his hometown. At that time, he wasn’t able to protect Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian when his aunt brought people to confront them. This time, when it came to accompanying them to put Guo Jinnian’s name on the house deed, he felt he might just be playing a supportive role.
He couldn’t help in a big way.
Gu Hongwei’s straightforward comment made Tong Yao smile. "This is a society ruled by law, problems can’t be solved with fights. Besides, they are Jinnian’s family. It will surely upset Jinnian if either they or we get hurt," she said.
Guo Jinnian swiftly stepped in, "Yaoyao, as long as you guys aren’t hurt, it’s okay if my family get injured. They need to learn some hard lessons."
At these words, Tong Yao laughed even harder. "Jinnian, if your parents heard you say that, they would likely chase you with a stick all the way from Jiang City to Kyoto!"
Guo Jinnian looked at the sky helplessly, looking utterly desolate, "To be honest, even before I go back there, I’ve started feeling a headache."
Guo Jinnian was full of envy. "Yaoyao, you don’t know how much I envy you. If only my parents were as sweet as Uncle Tong and Aunt Wen, I would do anything, even sell all my properties, to move them to Kyoto. Let them see how prosperous Kyoto is. But they don’t care about me, they only want my money."
Though Tong Yao didn’t have such parents, she had experienced Guo Jinnian’s anguish through Lin Fengying’s situation. Reaching out to hug her, she comforted her, "I believe nothing can bring you down. There’s nothing going on in Kyoto right now, so let’s go back tomorrow. We’ll figure out how to get the household register and handle the house deed."
