Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 593 Surprise

From her past life to this one, she has met many people.

Those she had tried so hard to maintain, in this life, she finally broke free from the shackles they had placed on her and flew freely; those who had loved and tolerated her, she tried her best to repay and embrace, and as a result she received more deep affection and formed more good relationships, but there were also unexpected deviations—her mother-in-law Liu Fen, who was also someone she wanted to hold on to, eventually became a stranger.

Life goes on, regrets can only scatter in the wind, hold on to what you have and cherish it even more.

After Zhangzhu finished the college entrance examination, Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng had discussed countless times which college to fill in. However, when it came time to fill in the application, the couple were shocked. The school Zhangzhu applied to was completely outside the scope of their discussion. Zhangzhu applied to Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and she only applied to this one school.

"I want to go to this school! I want to build airplanes! If I can't get in, I'll take the exam again tomorrow!" Zhangzhu answered loudly when Lin Qingping asked her "why" at home.

"No, why did you suddenly think of building airplanes?" Lin Qingping was puzzled. She was considered an open-minded mother, but she had never imagined that her daughter would want to build airplanes.

“I love them!” Zhangzhu pointed to the model airplanes displayed in the cabinet. “I love these that my dad and brother gave me, but they’re all fake! I told you a long time ago that I wanted to build airplanes, have you forgotten?”

Lin Qingping was speechless after hearing those questions.

Okay, Zhangzhu does seem to have said something like that, but how old was she then? When sending Zhiyuan to university, the whole family took a plane together. The little one was very excited when they got to the sky and told her that when she grew up, she would build her own airplane.

I thought it was a joke, but after all these years, I still remember it...

No wonder every time she asks Zhiyuan and her father to bring her gifts, they always buy her all sorts of airplane models.

Gu Juncheng, upon hearing this, happily gave a thumbs up, "Good! Good! You've got potential! You've got ambition! Dad supports you!"

Lin Qingping rolled her eyes at him, as if she didn't support him at all; she was just surprised!

"Then... I wish you success!" Now that things had come to this, Lin Qingping said happily to her daughter.

Zhangzhu was in high spirits, full of anticipation for the future and the holiday. Before the college entrance examination, she had planned to visit her brother and sister Xiaomai in the capital after the exam. Now that her college application was settled, she was about to set off.

So, Lin Qingping and her daughter left Gu Juncheng alone at their island home, bought plane tickets, and headed straight for the capital.

The two hadn't told Zhiyuan they were coming over yet, wanting to give him a surprise. Of course, they used the excuse of discussing Zhangzhu and Zhiyuan's affairs with him that evening to find out that Zhiyuan wasn't working the night shift that day. They planned to call him after get off work to give Zhangzhu some advice.

When I arrived at my home in the capital, it was a little after four in the afternoon, and Zhiyuan had not yet finished get off work.

When I opened the door, my home was so clean and tidy that it looked like it had been disinfected every day.

Zhangzhu clicked her tongue in admiration, "Does my brother have some kind of occupational hazard? The house is so clean, doesn't he feel uncomfortable living here?"

Lin Qingping laughed, "They're all just like you, like little pigs!"

“I call it being carefree and easygoing,” Zhangzhu said, walking around the house. “Mom, it’s so tidy, I don’t even know where to sit! Never mind, I’ll just go outside!”

"Where are you going?" Lin Qingping asked, both amused and exasperated.

"I'm going to the hospital to pick up my brother!" Zhangzhu put on her shoes and disappeared in a flash.

Lin Qingping smiled and shook her head, carefully looking around the home she hadn't been back to in a long time.

There were even green plants growing on the balcony, growing lush and green, with several pots of roses in full bloom.

It has to be said that Zhiyuan is a really hardworking child. In fact, she has raised Zhiyuan with a lot of care and attention. This child has not a bit of a spoiled or arrogant temperament.

Zhangzhu waited for Zhiyuan at the entrance of the department.

Since it was supposed to be a surprise, we couldn't go into the department to look for him. We waited outside until Zhiyuan appeared.

Zhiyuan was in a hurry because he needed to go home and make a phone call. He didn't pay attention to his surroundings and was only focused on getting to the elevator.

I had just stopped at the elevator entrance and pressed the down button when someone blindfolded me.

It's clearly a girl's hand...

He panicked at first, then shouted "Who's there?" while forcefully trying to pry open the hand covering his eyes.

Then came a cry of "Ouch!" from behind, "Brother, you pinched my hand so hard!"

"My precious pearl!" Zhiyuan was first startled, then delighted, and then his whole body relaxed.

Turning around, I saw Zhangzhu standing opposite me, pouting.

"I'm so sorry, Zhangzhu, I didn't mean to, I thought..." Zhiyuan paused, still unable to contain his surprise, "Why are you at the hospital? Why are you in the capital? Weren't you filling out college applications? Where are your parents?"

A series of questions.

Zhangzhu snorted, "Dad didn't come, and Mom was at home. She only came to pick you up from work because she missed you, and you, instead, almost gave me an over-the-shoulder throw!"

"How could I dare! I didn't know it was you! Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I apologize, alright? What kind of compensation do you want?"

When Zhangzhu heard this, her eyes lit up. I was really interested in this.

Zhiyuan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression, and asked with a smile, "What do you want to buy?"

Zhangzhu chuckled, "Brother, you're so kind!"

As she spoke, she opened her arms and lunged at Zhiyuan, who quickly caught her.

At that moment, behind Zhiyuan, the elevator doors opened, and Wan Xuening was about to come out when she saw Zhiyuan's back and the girl who was already hugging him.

Wan Xuening's face turned deathly pale instantly. She quickly retracted her half-extended foot, pressed the close button, the elevator doors closed, and it continued to go upstairs.

"Hey girl, what's wrong with you? I'm still going down!" someone in the elevator said.

"Ah. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Wan Xuening's mind was a mess, buzzing.

Zhiyuan and Zhangzhu didn't get home until after 7 o'clock.

Of course, they informed Lin Qingping that they would be going back later and that the two of them wanted to do some sightseeing first.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingping knew that Zhangzhu was going to trick Zhiyuan into buying her things again.

In fact, the family never lacked Zhangzhu for food, clothing and other necessities. They basically granted her every request. Gu Juncheng was a father who spoiled his daughter without any principles. However, Zhiyuan was also a doting brother who loved to buy things for Zhangzhu.

Zhiyuan never lacked money growing up; she gave him plenty of pocket money. Later, when he went to university and even abroad, she gave him large sums of living expenses. But Zhiyuan was reluctant to spend it and saved it all. Whenever his sister wanted something, he would give it to her without hesitation, even without her asking.

However, Lin Qingping never expected to buy two of these items!

I bought him a cell phone and a computer.

"Gu Zhangzhu..."

Lin Qingping had just started speaking when Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward, "Mom, don't mention Zhangzhu, I'm the one who wants to buy it for her. She's going to university now, so she should get a cell phone to make it easier to stay in touch. Besides, her major requires a computer."

Seeing Zhangzhu hiding behind Zhiyuan and making faces, Lin Qingping was speechless.

"I only wanted to buy a cell phone. My brother said he wanted to buy me a computer," Zhangzhu poked her head out from behind Zhiyuan to argue.
