Chapter 196 Equal Failure
"This is Wanwan, right? Wanwan, I am Qi Bin's mother Fang Miaolan, you can just call me Aunt Fang." Fang Miaolan looked at Gu Wan and liked her more and more.
Of course, she was also someone who knew Gu Wan’s life experience, and she probably knew that this girl’s extraordinary demeanor was also cultivated with knowledge.
What real or fake daughter? Fang Miaolan despised the Qin couple very much.
So what if there is no blood relationship? After all, she is the girl I have raised for eighteen years.
You really have no taste to just say no to such a nice girl.
There is no need to introduce Wei Junjie. The last time he went to the Red Flag Brigade, he stayed at Gu's house. What he particularly coveted was Gu Wan's cooking skills.
Today Qi Bin borrowed a jeep to pick someone up, and everyone got in the car.
Fang Miaolan held Gu Wan's hand and spoke to her affectionately, as if they were close sisters.
As for his own son, he can go wherever it is cooler.
Really, if I had told her earlier that Wanwan was such a pretty girl, she would have come a long time ago. What a waste of time.
Of course, the group would not take a bus directly to the Hongqi Brigade. According to Ms. Fang's request, they had to go to the department store first.
The main reason is that it is inconvenient to carry things on the train, and Fang Miaolan will definitely not go to Gu's house empty-handed. After all, it is her first time to visit her son's future father-in-law's house.
Coincidentally, when they entered the department store, Gu Wan and his group saw Gu Xiang busy at the cosmetics counter.
Gu Wan was very surprised. Didn’t her aunt work in the supply and marketing cooperative? So when did she come to the department store?
But this was not a place to talk, so Gu Wan just stepped forward to greet her aunt and introduced Aunt Fang and others to her.
When she saw Gu Wan's aunt clearly, Fang Miaolan's eyes lit up again. She sighed in her heart, wondering whether it was the beautiful scenery of their Red Flag Brigade that nurtured people or the old Gu family that produced beautiful women.
First it was Gu Wan, and now seeing her aunt, Fang Miaolan was very happy that she had seen another great beauty.
Even Gu Wan himself was greatly surprised when he saw the current Gu Xiang.
In fact, she had always known that her aunt had good facial features, but her plain and simple dressing style in the past, coupled with her slightly dark and rough skin, greatly lowered her appearance.
The young lady he met today directly shocked Gu Wan's cognition. She was wearing the uniform of the department store, which fully embodied the intellectual beauty of women.
Probably because of her current job, in order to provide customers with a better experience, my sister-in-law also puts on makeup.
No wonder, when I used to watch workplace dramas, those capable female protagonists were so attractive.
Looking at my sister-in-law now, she is exactly the representative of a strong woman in the workplace in Gu Wan's mind.
"Wanwan, you're here?" Just after dealing with a guest, Gu Xiang saw Gu Wan and others.
She quickly put down what she was holding and walked over, even though Gu Xiang had not gone home in the past few days and had not participated in the crusade against the "wild man" that came to the door by all members of the old Gu family.
However, because the Gu family now often needs to go to the county town to deliver goods and so on, Gu Shan went to the county town yesterday and found his aunt to tell her that Wanwan already has a partner.
Moreover, we also know that Wanwan’s partner is Qi Bin, and his family will visit him in person at the Red Flag Brigade.
Seeing the beautiful woman walking with Qi Bin beside Gu Wan, Gu Xiang also hurriedly smiled and greeted her: "You are Comrade Qi's mother, right? Nice to meet you."
Gu Wan came to her senses and introduced the two parties to each other. She was a little nervous because she was thinking about leaving a good impression on Aunt Fang. However, she ignored the fact that Wei Junjie behaved very differently from usual after seeing Gu Xiang.
Gu Wan just made a brief introduction, but Fang Miaolan, who met Gu Xiang for the first time, actually had a great time chatting with him.
In terms of seniority, they should be closer, if not for the consideration of the marriages of their children in both families.
Fang Miaolan even wanted to become sworn sisters with Gu Xiangyi. In fact, the two people's experiences in love and marriage were very similar.
The difference is that Gu Xiang is the one who is abandoned by the man when he needs to climb up the ladder, while Fang Miaolan is the "high branch" that the man needs to climb to in order to seek wealth and honor.
In the final analysis, the essence is the same. I want to illuminate the moon with my heart, but the moon only illuminates the ditch.
They once loved a man sincerely and gave a lot for him, but in the end all they got was hurt and betrayal.
Especially after Fang Miaolan learned that Gu Xiang devoted herself to work and started a new life after her divorce, she admired him very much and wanted to ask him for advice.
I will try my best to be able to walk out of the shadow of a failed marriage and stand up again like Gu Xiang, and no longer make my family worry.
Although Fang Miaolan is more than ten years older than Gu Xiang in terms of actual age, she has a good living condition and pays attention to maintenance on a daily basis. As a result, the two of them look like sisters when standing together.
Everyone loves beauty. Seeing Gu Xiang at the cosmetics counter, Fang Miaolan knew that the things in this small county were definitely not as good as those in the capital.
But after all, Gu Wan's aunt was here, so Fang Miaolan planned to take care of Gu Xiang's work and started to choose carefully at the counter.
Now is not like the later times, where salesmen can get commissions for selling things, but if Gu Xiang's performance is good, he will definitely be valued and praised by the leaders.
On the one hand, Gu Xiang was very happy that she sold good things. You know, the business of her counter was the worst in the entire department store.
After all, the things are not cheap and are not daily practical items, so there are not many women in Yangjiang County who are willing to spend a lot of money on dressing up.
Now someone wants to buy something from her, and it seems that the item to be purchased is not good, so Gu Xiang was originally happy.
But Fang Miaolan is Qi Bin's mother and can be considered a family member, so Gu Xiang is a little hesitant. She gently pulls Gu Wan's sleeve and whispers a few words in her ear.
What she meant was that Wanwan should tell Ms. Fang that she was very grateful for the other party's care for her work, but there was really no need to waste money in such a place.
If there weren't so many people at the scene, Gu Wan would have wanted to laugh. This kind of work attitude of her aunt was unacceptable.
When customers come to buy her things, she has to persuade them to buy less and not waste money?
Gu Wan thought her aunt was really cute, but she said to Fang Miaolan, "Aunt Fang, take a look at what you like, or just go for the whole set?"
But she turned around and said to Gu Xiang: "Aunt, please get a set of cosmetics for Aunt Fang. I'll pay for it as a gift for my first meeting with Aunt Fang."
This time, Fang Miaolan was the one who refused: "Wanwan, these are what I want and I will definitely use them in my daily life. How can I let you pay for them?"
Then she asked Gu Xiang to issue the invoice and Fang Miaolan prepared to pay the bill.
Seeing Qi Bin winking at the side, Gu Wan stopped the words of consolation that he was about to say. After all, both the Qi family and the Fang family were not short of the money.
Moreover, Gu Wan somewhat understood what Qi Bin meant. When a woman is unhappy, shopping and spending money on things can make her feel happy. Aunt Fang's trip from the capital to their beautiful countryside can be considered as a relaxation, right?
