Chapter 2277: Chapter 2079: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

Heartfelt persuasion, "I don’t think that girl likes you as much as you think. She prefers to live a free and easy life. That kind of girl isn’t impressed by money; she has her own ideas and lifestyle. To put it bluntly, while we’re being picky about her, she’s also being picky about us. She might not be willing to marry into our family."

She had interacted with Gu Linxi before, and she was a girl who lived very clearly and wisely. When she first chatted with Gu Linxi, she was surprised, unable to understand how a girl in her twenties could seem like she had been through so many hardships, as calm as a deep pool.

"I’m not an unreasonable person. She can marry into the family, but at the very least she can’t keep being a car mechanic."

Cui Jiangjing was still saying the same thing, but his fingers clenching until they turned white, "I will only marry her."

Lin Ning stopped speaking, but her disappointed eyes told him she hadn’t changed her mind. Like Cui Hao, she couldn’t accept that her daughter-in-law was a car mechanic.

...

Gu Linxi returned home from the hospital, took a shower, tied up her wet hair, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and placed the laptop on her lap.

She was almost done with the task she picked up on the hacker alliance, only a few lines of code were left. Something she usually finished in a few minutes, but today for some reason, she kept getting distracted. More than half an hour had passed, and she hadn’t finished the remaining code. Focusing her eyes, she saw Cui Jiangjing’s name all over the software...

Why did she write someone’s name so many times?

Startled, she quickly patted her cheeks and closed the laptop.

Yet closing the laptop couldn’t control her mind.

The turmoil of her thoughts made it impossible for her to settle down and work.

"Phew!"

Gu Linxi simply got up, tossed the laptop aside, and went outside for some air.

The crisp autumn air brought a refreshing breeze from the lakeside to the balcony, dispersing most of the restlessness in her heart, allowing her to seriously contemplate everything that happened today.

She didn’t expect Cui Jiangjing to have been through the suicide of his younger sister. When she heard about it, she felt a suffocating pain in her heart, which she still remembers now.

Such a man, always smiling warmly and healing others, also had pain hidden beneath his smile.

Although he had fierce conflicts with his family, he ultimately chose to live his own life without letting destiny sweep him away.

What about her?

What was she doing now, cooping up in a garage?

The scenery before her became blurry, and in her confusion, she seemed to see her childhood in Lin City, playing in the president’s office of Gu Real Estate. Her father, after finishing a meeting, joyfully picked her up and told her when she grew up, he would build her the tallest building in the country, let her live in a luxurious suite on the top floor, overlooking the whole of Lin City, and would also build her a swimming pool, a music practice room, a cinema, and her favorite amusement park...

His slow, proud expression while speaking is something she still remembers to this day.

Cui Jiangjing said that people like them couldn’t bear to leave her even if they died, and would certainly turn into stars in the sky to accompany her as she grew up.

If she were to build a skyscraper, could she stand atop the tallest building in the country and reach out to feel their presence?

For the first time in over ten years, Gu Linxi had a life goal.

Besides surviving, she had a new life goal.

She took out her phone, found a number she hadn’t contacted in a long time, and dialed it.

"Hello? Is that Bo? Yes, it’s me. I’m doing well. I’ve thought about that thing you mentioned to me before. I’ll go back to Lin City tomorrow, and we can discuss it in detail when I get there."
