Chapter 962 Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 962 Ex-Boyfriend

Guo Zhenhai had obviously been waiting for Tan Ying for a long time. When he saw Tan Ying arrive, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked forward and stopped the jeep Tan Ying was driving.

Tan Ying was driving slowly to begin with, and when she saw him, she knew he must be looking for her, so she slowly stopped the car, frowned, and asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Guo Zhenhai looked haggard and much thinner than before. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Yingzi, shall we talk?"

Tan Ying did not chase the person away.

This person doesn't come easily, and when he does, it must be for a reason, since Guo Zhenhai is a very proud man.

Tan Ying nodded and said, "I'll drive the car to the garage. You wait for me by the pavilion. I'll be there soon."

Guo Zhenhai was delighted and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yingzi didn't turn against him and kick him out, the matter could be discussed.

Moreover, he had another piece of good news: he and Yingzi had finally found a way out of their predicament.

This must be a blessing from heaven. They absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by, or they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

So he walked quickly toward the rest area that the factory had built specifically for the workers not far away.

It was a small park converted from a grove of trees, with two pavilions built, a pebble path paved, and many flowers planted.

It was summer in the north, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky, causing the poplar leaves to curl at the edges.

Fortunately, several old locust trees were planted around the pavilion, their canopies spreading out a large expanse of dense shade, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

It was during working hours, so there weren't many people, but some elderly people from the neighborhood were strolling around with their children.

Guo Zhenhai found a place to sit down.

Tan Ying quickly drove the car into the garage and then walked briskly towards the pavilion.

Upon meeting, there were no pleasantries. She went straight to the point and asked, "What do you need me for? I have a lot of things to do."

Guo Zhenhai knew Tan Ying's personality, and he genuinely admired her from the bottom of his heart.

Now that he's gotten to where he is, does he know how much effort and dedication Tan Ying has put in?

He didn't want to waste her time and said directly, "Yingzi, I've been thinking about this these past few days. Please forgive my hesitation, and please forgive my mother's actions. I was away on a business trip during that time, and by the time I found out, she wasn't coming anymore."

I criticized her, and she said she wanted to come and apologize to me, but I refused...

My mom is incredibly materialistic; she's always driven by self-interest. The reason she readily agreed to apologize is because you're about to go to Beidu to be Director Lu's secretary. She sees potential in your future, so naturally, she's willing to stoop to do what she wants.

You might look down on her, even despise her, but we have to admit that compared to your mother, my mother would do anything to ensure her children have a good life.

Guo Zhenhai saw that Tan Ying's expression had turned cold, but he did not change his mind.

"I'm not here to preach to you today; I'm not qualified to preach to you."

My thought today is to make myself clear to you what I want to say, even if you treat me like a stranger or an enemy from now on.

Tan Ying was impatient. She wasn't sure if she had feelings for Guo Zhenhai, but she knew her career was far more important than him.

But Tan Ying didn't show it on her face; instead, she listened quietly.

In any case, this is the only person I've ever dated in all these years.

Moreover, when he learned about his family's situation, he did not show shock, surprise, or try to hide his disgust like some people do; instead, he accepted it naturally.

But his mother didn't accept it.

And he really is a good son who listens to advice and is considered a good son to his mother.

It's likely that his family analyzed the pros and cons with him, which is why he hesitated.

I have a very strong personality, so seeing him like this, I took the initiative to break up with him, and I did so very decisively.

But he didn't give up. He would call from time to time, and even if he was in the same city, he would write letters to himself.

Tan Ying knows she is someone who craves love, but she also knows what she wants to achieve.

So she listened patiently without offering any rebuttals.

Then Guo Zhenhai continued, "Like I just said, no matter who you find in the future, the problems you face will be the same as the problems we are facing now. My family's problem lies with my mother; her thinking has changed. I really don't care."

Before you met me, you were able to take good care of them, preventing them from affecting your work or your life. With me around, you can only do even better than before.

Since they're doing better, it proves they won't affect our work, our lives, or our future. So this isn't an obstacle between us at all.

Tan Ying looked at Guo Zhenhai with some surprise.

Her ex-boyfriend was actually quite good compared to many men.

He's not chauvinistic, a bit bookish, indecisive, hesitant, and easily influenced. But in some ways, he is indeed upright and kind.

Then Tan Ying said meaningfully, "What if we get together and fail to take good care of the three of them, and they end up affecting our work and life? What will you do then?"

Guo Zhenhai adjusted his glasses and said, quite puzzled, "Didn't I just say that you could do a good job before I came along? There's no reason you can't do a good job now that I'm here. If you can't do a good job, then there are only two reasons."

Tan Ying asked him, "What two reasons?"

Guo Zhenhai said, "The first reason is that you don't want to take good care of them anymore, and then they come to cause you trouble. The second reason is that I don't let you take care of them anymore."

But then again, I've already agreed, so why shouldn't I let you take care of me?

No matter what, they are your parents. If you don't take care of them, you are not in the right legally, so you have to take care of them until they die.

Besides, taking care of them is entirely within your capabilities, so why would I stop you?

Tan Ying was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I didn't expect you to think that way. It's really a surprise."

Guo Zhenhai seemed very happy, smiling broadly, but suddenly remembered something. He slapped his forehead and said to Tan Ying, "Oh dear, look at my stupid brain, I forgot the most important thing. I applied to study at the Beidu Mechanical College, and my company has approved it. The study period is two years. I can spend these two years with you in Beidu. I think if I perform well and make a few inventions, I might be able to stay at the Beidu First Machinery Factory."
