Su Ying didn't say anything, but quickly asked Xue Qiaolan what she wanted to talk to her about, what she said to her, and what she did.

Chen Shuyun's eyes flickered slightly, and she sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"Nothing, we just met. She told me about some family matters. She said she worked a little too much and came home late. Mom is fine, don't think too much about it. We are still very happy."

Chen Shuyun has never been a liar. The way her eyes were wandering around, even Yang Liu could tell that she was talking nonsense.

"Auntie, tell the teacher the truth. The teacher knows that you haven't come back since dark. You don't know how worried she is about you."

Chen Shuyun put her chopsticks down, lowered her head and said nothing.

Gu Jinghong, leaning on his crutch, poured two glasses of water, gave one to Su Ying and placed the other in front of Chen Shuyun.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I don't have much contact with the Gu family."

Grandma Gu stood in the room, holding the door handle, then slowly let go and lay back on the bed silently.

She was always worried about Su Ying and Gu Jinghong, so she couldn't sleep well. She woke up when she heard someone talking outside. She wanted to go out and ask, but after hearing what Gu Jinghong said, she felt that she should not go out and add to Shuyun's psychological burden.

Chen Shuyun looked at Gu Jinghong and thought of the atmosphere between them when she met Xue Qiaolan. She also believed what Gu Jinghong said.

She sighed.

"Actually, she didn't really do anything to me. She just told me to ask Yingying to persuade me to help my family. I can't just become an officer and ignore them. No matter what time it is, family is still important."

Su Ying wanted to laugh when she heard it. The phrase "family is important" would sound heartwarming when spoken by anyone, except the Gu family. They didn't regard Gu Jinghong as a family member at all.

Now she has to ask for help from her husband, Mr. Gu, and she is playing the family card again. It's really disgusting.

"What else did she say?"

Chen Shuyun pursed her lips, lowered her head, picked up a piece of pickled vegetables and put it in her mouth, and spoke after a while.

"Nothing else, just saying that my son-in-law used to have many girls from the big courtyards in the capital who liked him. If he hadn't gotten into trouble, he might have been married a long time ago, and it wouldn't have been your turn."

Before Su Ying could say anything, Gu Jinghong had already held her hand tightly, anxious to show his loyalty.

"Wife, I have nothing to do with those women. I've been in the army all year round and haven't had much contact with them. Believe me."

Su Ying ignored him and just looked at Chen Shuyun.

"What else? She didn't just say that, right? She shouldn't have spent the entire afternoon talking about these few words."

Chen Shuyun felt helpless looking at her daughter. Why did she have to ask?

"She took me to meet my son-in-law and his aunt. They said their child had been murdered and that my son-in-law could save him, so... they even treated me to a meal and bought me new clothes, saying they were the latest styles from Beijing."

Su Ying's eyes widened instantly.

"Mom, did you collect their things?"

Seeing that Gu Jinghong's expression had also changed, Chen Shuyun quickly waved her hand.

"No, don't... don't worry, I won't take it. Even if you sell clothes, Mom doesn't need clothes. Those clothes are more expensive in Beijing than in Jiangcheng. I don't want them, and I don't eat their food, so..."

As if to cooperate with her, Chen Shuyun had just said this when her stomach growled twice.

Su Ying and Gu Jinghong looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
