Chapter 142: Sister-in-law

Mu Mingcheng said, “Since Grandpa’s condition is stable, mom and dad, you two should go back and take a rest . There’s no shortage of people here to care for Grandpa . ”

Once Mu Mingcheng’s parents exited towards the VIP lounge, Gu Jin gave a sigh of relief .

It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t nervous at all when she first met Mu Mingcheng’s parents . One reason in particular was because of that scandal of Gu Ling and Xu Chenghui from these past two days .

Even if Gu Ling had no blood relation with her, she was still her cousin in name . Xu Chenghui himself is a politician . He must marry a woman whose family background and ability could help him in his political career, meaning his wife not only will be a partner by name; such a partner must come from a family sharing a similar status as him . In any case, it was absolutely impossible for someone like Gu Ling to take up that role, considering that she had no family background, neither was she able to enter into a university .

So, one could imagine what sort of ident.i.ty Gu Ling had when she stayed with Xu Chenghui .

It’s impossible to write the character ‘Gu’ (顾) in one stroke . It’s embarra.s.sing enough that her cousin, even if in name only, became lovers with Xu Chenghui, who was Mu Mingcheng’s cousin .

Even if everyone knew that their relations.h.i.+p was not a good one, it would not stop people from making irresponsible remarks .

Although Mu Jingzhou and Xu Jie pay little attention to reputation, it’s inevitable that Gu Jin and Mu Mingcheng would encounter obstacles to establish their relations.h.i.+p .

Fortunately, they all had a good att.i.tude towards Gu Jin even if she didn’t know whether it was because they didn’t care, or that they haven’t heard the news . Nevertheless, she felt very flattered for their kindness .

……

However, there was still a hard battle to fight; Gu Jin stood straight like a soldier who was about to go to the battlefield .
