Gu Yingying, who was being controlled by Gu Jin, looked quite pretty in her dress, but with Gu Jin grabbing her by the back of her collar, her image was not very elegant.

There was even a hint of embarrassment.

Suddenly, Gu Yingying saw Ye Yun in front of her. Her eyes widened in anger, and she was so angry that she tried to break free from Gu Jin's restraints on the spot.

Gu Jinzhai didn't give her a chance; instead, he used even more force to send her to Ye Yun's side.

"Apologize."

Without saying anything else, he immediately made Gu Yingying apologize to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

What's going on?

"I told you to apologize to your sister-in-law Qin Zheng, Gu Yingying, did you hear me?" Gu Jin grabbed Gu Yingying by the back of the neck, forcing her to apologize to Ye Yun.

Ye Yun was so frightened that she quickly dodged to the side, saying, "We don't tolerate forced confessions."

"Brother! I don't want to apologize to her..." Gu Yingying was also weak and listless, perhaps because she felt guilty, or perhaps because she was frightened by Gu Jin this time.

That day at the dinner table, she was quite happy that Gu Jin was wholeheartedly protecting her.

But when she got home, Gu Jin gave her a severe scolding.

Gu Jin hadn't been home for the past few days, and she thought the matter was over. But when Gu Jin came back today, he forced Li Xiuying to apologize to Ye Yun.

How can she apologize?

She's always disliked Ye Yun. Asking her to apologize? Doesn't she have any pride?

"Gu Jin, what are you doing?" Ye Yun was also a little confused. She tugged at the corner of her lips and looked at Gu Yingying, who had a bewildered expression.

Gu Yingying blushed with anger. "Why are you looking at me like that? I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. Did you send my brother to apologize to you?"

Ye Yun shrugged. "Miss Gu, please don't wrong me~"

"It's Qin Zheng."

Gu Jin reached out and tapped Gu Yingying on the forehead, angrily saying, "It was your brother Qin Zheng who asked me to bring you here to apologize. Your brother Qin Zheng said that he has already settled things with the town's transport team, but he doesn't want to go because he doesn't want to see your brother, Gu Yingying."

As she spoke, Gu Jin nudged Gu Yingying and said, "Now, only if you apologize to your sister-in-law Qin Zheng will your brother Qin Zheng be willing to work with me. Do you understand? Huh?"

Gu Yingying kept backing away as she was poked, "Brother, stop poking me, it hurts..."

Gu Yingying's fair forehead had turned slightly red from Gu Jin's few pokes, showing how delicate she truly was.

Ye Yun looked at Gu Jin instead.

"Gu Jin, you said Qin Zheng has already taken care of the town's transport team, is that true?"

Today, after Qin Zheng dropped her and Tian Xiaohui off at the stall, he said he had to leave for a while. Could it be because of this?

She frowned and looked at Gu Jin, seeking an answer.

Gu Jin grabbed Gu Yingying with one hand and raised the other, "How could this be fake? You know what your man is capable of. He's sitting in the transport team leader's office right now."

Ye Yun: "..."

Wow, they settled it just like that.

Ye Yun has further enhanced Qin Zheng's abilities. Before, he was so reckless that he would just quit if he wasn't allowed to do it, but now he's in jail.

hiss……

Ye Yun looked at Gu Jin silently, her eyes filled with deep doubt.

Gu Jin scoffed, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know how your man managed to settle things either. Just like I couldn't understand how he could continue going to school unscathed after nearly beating Xu Tianqiang to death."

Then he turned his attention to Gu Yingying, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and apologize to your sister-in-law Qin Zheng. I'm still hoping to get on Qin Zheng's good side!"

Gu Yingying covered her head, letting out another delicate cry of pain as he poked her.

Ye Yun raised her hand to stop Gu Jin's movement and calmly said, "Don't make things difficult for her. Her prejudice against me can't be eliminated in a short time. Even if you make her apologize to me, she won't be convinced."

Whether I submit or not is another matter; this is the task Qin Zheng gave me.

Gu Jin answered without hesitation.

Ye Yun: "..."

She was overthinking it.

"It's alright, I'll handle things with Qin Zheng. You take her back." Ye Yun waved her hand, not wanting to see Gu Yingying's face again.

The girl kept looking at her with resentment, which made her uncomfortable.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Gu Jin was still a little unsure and asked, "Can you really handle Qin Zheng?"

"Um."

“Let me make this clear first: Qin Zheng is a stubborn person. Whether you can handle him or not, he has to go to and from get off work with me,” Gu Jin added.

Ye Yun laughed, "Gu Jin, do you think you understand Qin Zheng as well as I do?"

Gu Jin grunted.

He felt a little embarrassed, thinking, "Yeah, that makes sense."

They are a couple living together on the kang (heated brick bed).

Ye Yun spoke with absolute certainty, for she and Qin Zheng were not only close, but in her memory, she had known Qin Zheng for decades.

What are you doing?

Just then, Qin Zheng's voice came from not far away. Ye Yun looked up and saw Qin Zheng riding back slowly on his old bicycle.

"Qin Zheng?" As soon as Gu Jin saw Qin Zheng, she grabbed Gu Yingying and turned around.

Qin Zheng braked the car with his foot.

His legs were long, and even when they were on the ground, they were slightly bent. He looked at Gu Jin and Ye Yun with a slightly puzzled gaze.

Gu Jin pushed Gu Yingying forward, saying, "Here, you said you'd let me apologize to my sister, and then you'd come back to the team and work with me."

Ye Yun looked at him and smiled, "You said it?"

Qin Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth. "There is such a thing, but I was just joking, just saying it offhand."
