MTLNOVEL Chapter 126: Persistence
Tao Zhiran didn't expect that Gu Lingling would have such an attitude towards him.
He couldn't help but doubt himself a little.
Ever since their first meeting, this girl named Gu Lingling had always treated him with a very indifferent attitude.
She's different from the other girls in the village, and also not like the girls from his previous school, who all showed him shy and admiring affection when they saw him.
Only Gu Lingling looked at him with eyes that were too calm.
This greatly struck Tao Zhiran and further stimulated his desire to conquer.
Originally, he approached Gu Lingling after hearing by chance that her father drove a transport truck at the transformer factory, and her grandfather was also a skilled worker there, rumored to even be the mentor of the current factory director.
With this connection, if he managed to win over Gu Lingling, his days in Nanshui Village would be much easier, and if there were ever an opportunity to return to the city, with these ties, he would certainly be considered first.
Besides, Gu Lingling was both beautiful and had an air of elegance, the type he liked.
It's safe to say that both her family background and appearance satisfied Tao Zhiran immensely.
Such a girl, even if she came from a rural area, was much better than those city girls, like that Wei Yan Yan.
Thinking of this, Tao Zhiran's lips curled slightly.
Wei Yan Yan still thought she could keep him on a string?
Did she think he wouldn't know about the things she's done?
Truly disgusting.
Gu Lingling, however, had no idea she had become a prized gem in Tao Zhiran's eyes; even if she knew, she would just give a faint smile and leave it at that.
In this life, she had come to terms with the past; with the experience of her previous life, she no longer had extravagant hopes for love and such.
She just wanted to respect and care for her grandparents, and then watch Yao Jingsong grow up, get married, and have children.
If possible, when the economy improved and she had some extra money, she would like to travel around and see the magnificent landscapes of her country.
If she felt really lonely, she could go to an orphanage and adopt a child with whom she felt a connection.
As for love and marriage, she had no plans for those in this lifetime.
Tao Zhiran stood at the village entrance for a while, only turning to head towards the educated youth spot once Gu Lingling's figure was completely out of sight.
After he left, Gu Juan emerged from behind the haystack with a sullen face.
Gu Juan had been quietly following Tao Zhiran when she saw him walking towards the village entrance alone, but he was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice her.
Gu Juan originally wanted to greet him, but seeing the excitement on Tao Zhiran's face, and then Gu Lingling coming from the other direction, made her stop.
Even a fool could see from how Tao Zhiran looked at Gu Lingling that he was very excited, even though he was trying hard to control his emotions.
Despite Gu Lingling treating Tao Zhiran coldly, he remained infatuated and persistent.
Why?
Why are they both treating Gu Lingling differently?
The previous troublemaker Yang Yunhai was like this, and now a gentleman had come along, and he too was interested in Gu Lingling.
Why are the people she likes always taken by Gu Lingling!
Just wait, when Gu Lingling becomes a worthless person, let's see if they still like her.
Gu Juan gloomily glanced in the direction Gu Lingling had left, not in a hurry to return home, but instead waited at the village entrance.
Today Wang Meili was bringing a few guests to their house. Thinking of those people, Gu Juan's mood suddenly improved.
At this moment, when Gu Lingling saw the person in front of her, her eyes turned cold. "Why are you here?"
