Chapter 2294 - 2294:

With matters like these, if Liu Zhizhong hadn't encountered it, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

But having come across it and seen it, not offering some help would weigh on his conscience.

In this world, good people are indeed more plentiful!

As he walked, he kept observing the situation unfolding over there.

At the bustling train station, naturally, Gu Yan and her companion couldn't see Liu Zhizhong.

In Liu Zhizhong's eyes, it seemed like Gu Yan and this man knew each other, didn't they?

At this moment, the man tried to help Gu Yan with her suitcase, but Gu Yan declined.

Gu Yan pulled her suitcase, walked a few steps, and was stopped again by the man saying something.

Gu Yan was so angry she stamped her foot and was sternly rebuking the other party, who seemed not the least bit upset and just kept smiling.

After a while, Liu Zhizhong came up behind them, using one of the station's large support columns to hide himself as he tried to listen to what was really going on.

He just heard Gu Yan angrily say, "Lu Liang, I've told you so many times, there's no way for us. Get out of my way, I'm going to catch a cab. Don't bother me, I'm about to take an exam."

Liu Zhizhong suddenly understood: indeed, the two of them knew each other.

It seemed that Lu Liang was Gu Yan's suitor!

Gu Yan was so beautiful, both stunning and pure; how could she not have suitors?

Indeed, Gu Yan had many suitors.

All through high school and college, many pursued her.

However, when it came to dating, Gu Yan used to listen to her sister Gu Man and brother-in-law Liu Zhizhong's advice.

Her sister Gu Man advised her not to date casually, as it would be easy to be deceived, and to consider the person's family background and education.

Liu Zhizhong had more or less the same perspective.

Of course, Liu Zhizhong later became a vegetative state, Gu Man married into a local wealthy family, and Gu Yan felt love was so unreliable!

Gu Man was even more attentive to her sister's love life and marriage matters, saying to be a bit more careful and to secure her career before considering love and marriage, at least with someone compatible.

In fact, Gu Man implied someone with a background matching the Zhang Family.

This led Gu Yan to consider the civil service exam; Gu Man thought that taking it in Southeast would ensure her entry into the City Culture and Tourism Bureau, but Gu Yan wanted to try the Provincial City for potentially better opportunities, and on this point, her sister supported her.

And Zhang Xiaoyang also said that whether it was in Southeast or the Provincial City, the Zhang Family could find a way. In Southeast, a word from the Zhang Family, or even from Zhang Xiaoyang, would suffice; in the Provincial City, Grandpa Zhang Taikang could step in.

Now, Lu Liang shrugged and said, "My goodness, Gu Yan, why bother with the civil service exam at all? Isn't your brother-in-law the eldest son of the Southeast Zhang Family? Do you really need to take the exam? Coming all the way to the Provincial City for it, isn't it exhausting? Besides, in both Southeast and the Provincial City, the Lu Family isn't without status. If you become my girlfriend, would you need to work at all? Isn't being a wealthy wife better than anything? My feelings for you are true, and you know it! It's been years..."

"Alright, Lu Liang, stop it. We're not on the same path. I'm not the kind of girl you think I am, I want to be self-reliant and not depend on a man."

Just with that statement, Liu Zhizhong silently praised his former sister-in-law.

Who would have thought Lu Liang would shake his head and say, "Gu Yan, what you said is right and very spirited. But have you thought about it? Your sister used to be very spirited too when she was with Liu Zhizhong, right? And now? Didn't she marry Zhang Xiaoyang? In this world, love can change sometimes, but my feelings for you have never changed, isn't that right?"

This situation left Gu Yan unsure of how to respond.

Liu Zhizhong was privately surprised, oh, so Lu Liang was a junior from college? He even knew me, though I don't know him, which is understandable. The university is so big, with so many majors and juniors~~~

However, this junior Lu Liang really knows how to hit a sore spot, making my former sister-in-law uncertain how to respond...

But at this moment, Gu Yan said, "Their situation is special, so there's no need for you to comment. Lu Liang, move aside and stop pestering me!"

Lu Liang extended a hand again to block Gu Yan, saying, "Gu Yan, I've given my all for you. I heard you were coming to the Provincial City for exams, and I specially took off work and drove here to pick you up..."

"Who told you I was coming to the Provincial City for exams? Not many people know about this! Did you have someone follow me?"

There was a clear hint of anger in Gu Yan's tone.

Lu Liang immediately said, "Gu Yan, you don't have to worry about that, do you? I love you, and I'm willing to do anything for you!"

"Anything?"

"Yes!"

"Then please disappear from in front of me, immediately!"

"I..."

Lu Liang was suddenly at a loss, standing there awkwardly.

Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh out loud, so loud that it carried out from behind the support column.

Both Gu Yan and Lu Liang couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

Lu Liang, still somewhat angry, said, "Who's there? Listening sneakily from over there, what kind of normal person does that?"

With that said, he started moving over here, just about three or four meters away, and would be here in a blink of an eye.

But at this moment, Liu Zhizhong slowly emerged, carrying a suitcase and wearing a cheerful expression.

"Haha, Junior Lu Liang, right? I am your Senior Liu Zhizhong, nice to meet you!"

As he spoke, Liu Zhizhong extended a hand, exhibiting an incredibly gentlemanly aura!

His sudden appearance excited Gu Yan, and she wasted no time, hurrying over with her suitcase, "Oh dear brother-in-law, where did you go? Didn't we say we'd get off the train together? Where did you go just now? I was ready to head to the hotel on my own!"

With that, Gu Yan was already by Liu Zhizhong's side, very close and looking very affectionate.

Lu Liang was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Liu Zhizhong.

The tall, handsome, gentle, and steady former senior!

The pure, beautiful dream girl Gu Yan was affectionately close by his side, further stirring a sour feeling in Lu Liang's heart.

Lu Liang refused to shake hands with Liu Zhizhong, saying, "Liu Zhizhong, shouldn't you be working at the Southeast Meteorological Bureau? Why are you here in the Provincial City? Gu Yan, your brother-in-law is Zhang Xiaoyang, not him anymore, aren't you worried about causing trouble? Just now you said you were going to the hotel alone, what do you mean? Are you staying at the same hotel? You two..."

The more he spoke, the more gossipy and sour he felt, but also as if he had discovered a new world. Could it be that with the sister married, the younger sister takes over? Damn Liu Zhizhong, you're one lucky bastard!

Gu Yan immediately said, "What's it to you? In my heart, Brother Zhizhong is always the brother-in-law, so what?"
