Chapter 1150 - 1149: His Daughter Doesn’t Regard Him as a Father
Chapter 1149: Daughter Doesn’t Respect Him as a Father
Hearing his daughter’s words and being called immoral by her, Gu Ming felt a piercing pain in his heart.
Minxing was right; he hasn’t fulfilled a single day of his responsibilities as a father, indeed, he has no right to ask her not to be heartless towards him now.
"I—I just thought, if you return to the Gu Family, it could benefit your future."
Gu Ming said awkwardly. In reality, it was Grandpa Gu who saw the beautiful and charming Gu Minxing and felt that her return to the Gu Family would bring a good marriage alliance for the family. Thus, he suggested it to Gu Ming.
But Gu Ming wanted Gu Minxing to return to the Gu Family out of his own selfish desire, hoping to compensate for what he owed his daughter, not for the benefit of the big family.
Gu Minxing shook her head: "I don’t need it, I’m responsible for my own life. I will take the entrance exam for a good university next year. My goal is to get into Kyoto University."
"Good, good, my daughter is indeed ambitious!" Hai Xue gave her daughter a thumbs up.
Gu Ming was troubled at heart: His daughter didn’t put him, her father, in her eyes at all.
But, who can blame her, when all these years she has lived without him?
Thinking about how the breakdown of the family marriage caused Hai Xue to suffer great physical and mental harm, and how his daughter was affected, born prematurely and naturally weak, her fragile health delayed her physical development by several years.
Back then, although she was ten years old, she looked only about six. Hai Xue changed her age because of this. Unexpectedly, now she actually looks like the altered age. At twenty years old, she looks just sixteen.
He felt ashamed!
"Even though you don’t want to return to the Gu Family, without physically coming, you can initially transfer your household registration to the Capital City; this way, you can take the college entrance exam in the Capital City."
Everyone knows that having a Capital City household registration makes the entrance score requirement to Kyoto University lower than that for out-of-province students.
Upon hearing this, Hai Xue felt tempted, she looked towards Nan Mengyu: "Nan Mengyu, what do you think—"
Gu Dongxing often works away from home for months without appearing. If Gu Minxing wants to study in the Capital City, it will definitely be inconvenient for Nan Mengyu.
Moreover, she doesn’t want her daughter to settle in the Gu Family and be controlled by the Gu Family.
Currently, Gu Minxing listens to Nan Mengyu’s words unquestionably, so Nan Mengyu isn’t worried that Minxing won’t heed her.
Nan Mengyu thought for a moment and said: "Alright, Minxing’s household registration can be placed at my courtyard in Yang’an Alley. From now on, she can live here with me."
No one expected that Gu Dongxing would shake his head: "No, if Minxing comes to the Capital City, Mom will worry about Minxing, and I won’t feel at ease with Mom being alone in Hai Village. How about this, anyway, I plan to buy a house here in the future, let’s buy it now, and transfer Mom and Minxing’s household registration over. This way, Mom and Minxing can still live together, and Nan Mengyu can visit them from time to time."
He knows that asking Mom to live at Nan Mengyu’s place would make her uncomfortable, it’s better to buy a courtyard himself.
Thinking about the future house prices in the Capital City, Nan Mengyu immediately agreed: "Sure, you should buy such a courtyard, Aunt Hai will definitely like it, she can even plant flowers and vegetables there."
However, they are unfamiliar with the Capital City, so it’s better to let Le De and the others look for a house.
Upon hearing Nan Mengyu’s words, Hai Xue immediately felt that Nan Mengyu was her most understanding person, and realized choosing her as a daughter-in-law was a good decision. If she comes to the Capital City and has nothing to do, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.
"Alright, then let’s buy a courtyard. Besides, courtyards aren’t expensive right now."
At this time, there were no commercial housing, but there were still many private homes.
Because in recent years, many people returned, taking back the Siheyuans that had been occupied or contributed. But at this time, young people disliked the damp and dark Siheyuans and preferred to move to high-rise buildings.
There are also many who returned in poor health, wanting to stay by their children’s side, thus contemplating selling their original Siheyuans.
So, there are indeed quite a few people selling Siheyuans.
