Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Very Dissatisfied

"What I’m saying is true. You were able to join the military because of your father’s influence..."

Gu Juntao clenched his teeth and turned to leave: "If that’s the case, I’d rather just quit the service. You think I’m useless, so what’s the point of being in the military?"

"Are you crazy?" Wang Guihua hurriedly got out of bed to stop her son: "Just hang in there a bit longer; once you get promoted, you can transfer to a good place. If you apply for discharge now, what can you do? You’ll only end up as a worker!"

She believed she was deeply concerned about her son, but who knew Gu Juntao only felt greater pain upon hearing this.

"Mom, what do you mean? If I don’t have the ability, how can I get promoted? With so many talented people, why choose me?"

"What’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten who your grandfather and father are? With them around, you’ll get promoted too. Don’t be like your brother, who just rushes forward recklessly. What’s the use of that?" Wang Guihua looked down on Gu Junming, thinking he’s just being pretentious: "Not leveraging connections and relying solely on hard work will lead to a life without success!"

Gu Juntao wasn’t the type to argue with his parents, but his heart was heavy with unspeakable frustration. Not allowed to be in a relationship or go to the disaster area—what’s he supposed to be, a waste?

"What’s with that look? Has Yang Hongying poisoned your mind? I knew she’s trouble; she can’t stand seeing you do well!"

Gu Juntao said, teeth clenched: "I don’t feel well, I’m going back to the unit." He turned and walked away.

Wang Guihua hurriedly followed: "You’re not allowed to go to the disaster area, do you hear me? I’ve already informed your leaders; you won’t be able to go!"

Gu Juntao stomped downstairs and ran off quickly.

Wang Guihua clutched her chest in anger, thinking, it’s all Yang Hongying’s fault. Since she started dating Gu Juntao, he’s become so disobedient. They have to break up!

But she also knew it wouldn’t be easy. Even this time, when she pleaded and cried from her hospital bed, he refused to break up. It’s infuriating! Wang Guihua decided to find some time to negotiate with Yang Hongying and make her disappear.

Knowing that resolving this wouldn’t be easy, she decided to first look for Gu Zishan, thinking he must intervene in his son’s affairs.

Gu Zishan was feeling down, mostly because of Gu Junming. This morning, he’d received a call from a provincial military district leader, who subtly hinted that Gu Junming should not be looking for a partner. After the New Year, a senior official’s daughter would be transferring over for an internship. She’s of similar age and had reportedly learned in the same place, and wasn’t opposed to having Gu Junming around.

Gu Zishan didn’t particularly like Sun Chan, now he was even more displeased! Giving up such a well-bred young lady to choose a village orphan? He couldn’t understand it.

While pondering how to force Gu Junming to break up, his wife entered.

Looking weary, clearly still troubled by Gu Juntao. Things have been chaotic these past few days.

Wang Guihua sat across from him, and for a moment neither spoke.

Gu Zishan finally broke the silence: "If you ask me, Juntao and Yang Hongying aren’t impossible."

"It’s all for my son’s sake! I only have this one child, who else should I help?" Wang Guihua started crying.

Seeing his wife cry, Gu Zishan could only sigh: "Honestly, Juntao really is just average..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"That’s your excuse! Anyway, I’d rather die than agree to a marriage with Yang Hongying. As for your Gu Junming, do as you please, I haven’t interfered before and won’t in the future!" She finished speaking and walked out, slamming the door loudly.

From the start, Gu Junming was cold as ice towards his stepmother. When he was young, she indeed was too harsh, but that doesn’t justify treating her like an enemy for over a decade, right?

If Gu Junming gets married to that woman and rises in status, what good times await them?

She absolutely couldn’t allow Gu Junming and Sun Chan to break up.

Wang Guihua inadvertently sided with Sun Chan. She went to find Yang Hongying, planning to tackle her side first, only to learn Yang Hongying had taken leave and returned home. Without meeting her, Wang Guihua had to return for now.

She thought, even if you can hide, I don’t believe you can escape forever. You’ll break up sooner or later.

Upon returning home, she learned Gu Juntao went to the disaster area, despite pressure from above, he resolutely went anyway.
