Chapter 278

Gu Panpan’s hometown is in a village under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, about a five-hour drive away when there is no highway access. Hou Yong had briefed Qin Gang on the situation beforehand. Upon hearing that Gu Panpan’s mother had shown up, Qin Gang felt a headache coming on. He knew how Hou Yong and Gu Panpan had come to be married, so he had a great deal of respect for Gu Panpan’s courage at the time. He had urged Hou Yong back then to be sure to treat her well, noting that in this day and age, it wasn't easy for a young woman to go to such lengths for a man. Hou Yong didn’t say much to Qin Gang, only mentioning that Gu Panpan’s mother had tracked him down at school, and he had to go to her village to discuss the bride price. After all, with a conference waiting in Hong Kong, he felt obligated to report to the older man.
