Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 589

Gazing at the warm expressions of his parents, he finished dinner and rushed back to his room as if fleeing.

Sun Chan and Gu Junming exchanged a glance and said together, "Guess it's not going well?"

Gu Junming said, "With so many people in business nowadays, how can it be that easy to succeed? Better to be prepared in advance; if things don't work out, maybe ask someone to find a job?"

"Don't rush, our son hasn't brought it up himself. We can't make arrangements for him. Let him spread his wings, he's in his twenties, it's really the time to take risks, no need to bind him with a job," Sun Chan tidied up the dishes.

Gu Junming nodded, "Or he could study abroad, gaining experience would be good as well."

"Respect him, he can do whatever he wants, we shouldn't interfere."

They had always been sensible parents, and Junjun felt happy hearing them speak, but also awkward; he didn't want to become an object of worry in their eyes, speaking cautiously to himself, thinking perhaps he should quickly find a partner.

The next day the family of three went to visit Gu Zishan. Gu Zishan's health has been fairly okay these past few years, just often coughing irritably because of his wife, occasionally going out to stay at hotels for a few days because he really couldn't stand Wang Guihua.

Sun Chan asked Gu Junming, "Since the two of them absolutely can't live together, maybe let dad move to our place? Our home is quite spacious anyway."

"No way. If he leaves, Wang Guihua will go bother Gu Juntao, didn't she go to the provincial capital last time?"

Originally, when Gu Juntao moved to the provincial capital, everyone thought Wang Guihua would have no one else to bother, and Gu Zishan was liberated for a while, living apart from her, renting a small apartment for himself. During that time, Gu Zishan's complexion improved a lot, his mood broadened, and he ate half a bowl more than before. But when Wang Guihua felt stifled and couldn't vent her anger on her husband, she went to find their son, took a train to the provincial capital, causing so much trouble that Gu Juntao and Yang Hongying started living apart.

Back then, Yang Hongying was doing clothing for Sun Chan, earning one or two yuan commission per item, and now she developed into a provincial business representative, working so busily every day, she had no time to argue with this mother-in-law. Just as Wang Guihua was about to start causing trouble, she packed her bag and moved out directly, without saying a word to her mother-in-law.

Gu Juntao said to his mother, "I earn less than a tenth of what my wife earns now, she bought the house, car, and home appliances with her money. If you want to see me homeless, then keep causing trouble."

"Aren't you some kind of official? Why are you so afraid of your wife? So useless!"

"Official? On the streets of the provincial capital, hit ten people with a brick, eight and a half are officials, your son is that half, got it? Apart from a title, I've got nothing. If you keep causing trouble, I'll quit my job too, let's beg together." With that, Gu Juntao returned to his room.

Wang Guihua angrily confronted her son, "How am I causing trouble? I didn't say anything when I came back, I just mentioned how she should wash the dishes..."

"Have you ever washed dishes?" Gu Juntao laughed, looking at his mother, "There's a dishwasher at home, she knows how to wash, she's been working for over twenty years, she knows better than you, don't you think? You always want to boss around but never get to the point, who can stand you? Mom, I'm begging you, just keep quiet. Look at this family now, who's still welcoming you? If not for me, would dad have reconciled with you? Look at what he's been turned into by you over the years. I suggested sending you both to a nursing home for you to live on your own and you didn't agree, I really don't know why you live like this, just to cause trouble for people?"

"Ungrateful son! I raised you this big, and you talk to me like this? Are you worthy of me?" Wang Guihua cried bitterly, but Gu Juntao ignored her and started a new round of a hunger strike.

Wang Guihua was even more displeased, "What's with this kid, doesn't even know how to greet people? What would people say if they find out, a college-educated person behaving so immaturely!"

"Enough! Don't you see what you've done? For so many years, have you given the grandson anything? Apart from nitpicking and arguing, what else can you do? When Junjun greeted you, did you acknowledge him? After so long, anyone's heart would turn cold; if you can't speak properly, just shut up!" Gu Zishan scolded.

Wang Guihua immediately wanted to curse, but Gu Zishan said, "Keep cursing, I won't accompany you to your doctor's appointment, do whatever you want."

Wang Guihua became quiet; she certainly didn't want to go to the hospital, quite scared of it.

The two were arguing, while Gu Junming and Sun Chan pretended not to hear. Soon, they set off together.

Sun Chan drove, taking them to the hospital, Wang Guihua said enviously, "Already in your fifties, still following this trend, your son doesn't even have a decent job, it's rare you can live so freely. If my Nannan didn't have a job or family, I wouldn't know how worried I'd be!"

Sun Chan ignored her, and no one else spoke.

"Wang Guihua, if you can't speak properly, don't speak." Gu Zishan was so angry he almost couldn't hold it in.
