Chapter 269 Rebellious Heart
Gu Yihan ate a simple breakfast that Lu Huailin had prepared for her and locked the courtyard gate.
Humming a song, I rode towards the textile mill.
A dozen minutes later
She pushed open the door to the accounting office and greeted Wang Guixiang, Zhang Limin, and Hu Shan with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Han, you seem to be in a good mood!" Hu Shan teased, looking at Gu Yihan's radiant face.
Gu Yihan sat down, put her handbag in the drawer, glanced at Gu Shan, and smiled.
She said, "Sister Shan, you seem to be in a good mood too."
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan smiled, stood up, walked to Gu Yihan, and leaned over her desk.
He whispered excitedly, "I have a daughter!"
Gu Yihan was stunned when she heard this, then realized what was happening and whispered, "The orphan the Ye family found for you has been sent over?"
Hu Shan smiled and nodded, saying, "The train is this afternoon."
Gu Yihan glanced at Hu Shan, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
He opened his mouth, unsure how to offer any advice.
Seeing this, Hu Shan patted her arm.
He laughed and said, "Xiao Han, just say what you want to say. With our relationship, why do we need to hide anything?"
Gu Yihan gave an awkward laugh upon hearing this.
He asked in a low voice, "Did you tell your uncle and aunt to investigate the child's background?"
"I already said it, the investigation is complete." Hu Shan lowered her head, not daring to look Gu Yihan in the eye, and said guiltily.
She didn't ask her family to help find the child's biological parents, but she did ask them to find a doctor to check the child's physical condition.
Her family called to say that the child was healthy, which put her at ease.
Gu Yihan gave Hu Shan a deep look, regardless of whether Hu Shan had listened to her words or not.
As a friend, I've said everything that should and shouldn't have been said.
The rest depends on her own luck.
The day passed by in Hu Shan's excited and incessant chatter.
After get off work
Gu Yihan shook her head as she watched Hu Shan run out without even saying goodbye to them.
He whispered, "I hope that God will be on your side this time."
...
large courtyard
Seeing that the child was asleep, Grandma Gu carefully placed her on Gu Meng's bed.
Back in the living room, I sat on the makeshift wooden bed and tidied my clothes.
She was thinking that when Gu Meng came back, she would tell the couple that she would no longer help them take care of their child.
On the other side
Gu Meng hummed a song as she walked into the courtyard, where she encountered Hu Shan, who was rushing back in a hurry. A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Don't think she doesn't know.
This little bastard is in cahoots with Gu Yihan; she's seen Hu Shan giving Grandma Gu treats several times.
If it weren't for Hu Shan's help, Grandma Gu wouldn't have been so assertive in their family.
Relying on Gu Yihan as a fallback plan, they don't take me seriously!
Then, as if remembering something, he walked over to Hu Shan and said with a smile, "Cheng Bo's wife, are you off work?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan paused, frowned, and glanced at Gu Meng.
He said irritably, "Comrade Gu, how many times have I told you? I have a name."
"If you really can't remember, you can call me Comrade Hu."
Gu Meng didn't care about Hu Shan's attitude.
She laughed and said, "Look at you, as women, when we marry a man, we don't have our own surname anymore. Don't we all just take the name of the man in the family?"
Hu Shan glared at Gu Meng with a contemptuous look.
He scoffed inwardly, thinking, "How could she compare to me?"
She is an only child, owns a house, has a job, and has an endless dowry!
What does Gu Meng have?
She let out a cold laugh: "Can a woman like you be compared to me?"
"Hey! Why is it different?"
Gu Meng opened her eyes wide, looked at Hu Shan with an exaggerated expression, and exclaimed.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, he began to look her over without restraint, and suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
He sneered, "It really is different. I can have children, but you can't. You can only raise other people's children!"
"What kind of woman is she if she can't have children? Of course she's different from us!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan's chest heaved with anger. She strode over to Gu Meng, pointed at her nose, and demanded, "What do you mean?"
Gu Meng wasn't afraid of Hu Shan at all, and raised her hand to brush away the finger pointing at her.
He sneered, "What? You don't know? Your husband, Cheng Bo, is spreading rumors everywhere that you can't have children!"
"He also said that you are so desperate for children that you insist on adopting a stranger's child instead of your cousin's child."
As Gu Meng spoke, she clicked her tongue and shook her head: "Cheng Bo's family, I'm not trying to be mean, but how can those wild kids from outside compare to children with blood ties?"
Hu Shan's eyes suddenly reddened as she listened to Gu Meng's obviously mocking and sarcastic remarks.
My heart feels like a piece of clothing with a hole in it, chilly and cold.
How could Cheng Bo talk about himself like that in front of outsiders?
She just has difficulty conceiving, not that she can't have children.
What are his intentions? Why does he insist on having me adopt his cousin's child?
Hu Shan's rebellious spirit reached its peak at this moment.
Cheng Boyue interfered with her adopting a stranger's child, but she insisted on adopting the child anyway!
Thinking of this, she stopped arguing with Gu Meng, glared at her, and turned to go back to her home.
Gu Meng glanced at Hu Shan's retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.
He reached into his pocket, rubbing the five ten-yuan bills, and thought to himself that Cheng Bo's money was really easy to earn.
When Gu Meng returned home, she saw that Grandma Gu had put her clothes into a bundle, and assumed that she was keeping an eye on her.
He scoffed, "Who cares about your two outfits? They smell like old people, they're suffocating!"
Grandma Gu glanced at Gu Meng expressionlessly and said in a flat voice, "I'm leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, then asked incredulously, "You're leaving? Where are you going?"
Where I go is none of your business.
After Grandma Gu finished speaking, she stood up, picked up her bundle, and walked straight past Gu Meng.
Gu Meng suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm tightly, gritting her teeth as she said, "Do you want to go to Gu Yihan's house?"
Grandma Gu didn't say anything, she just glanced at Gu Meng indifferently.
Gu Meng watched as Grandma Gu chuckled in a sinister voice.
She suddenly snatched Grandma Gu's bundle as if she were possessed and threw it forcefully onto the simple wooden bed in the living room.
Grandma Gu was furious and quickly turned around to grab her bag. At that moment, Gu Meng grabbed her handbag and smashed it hard against the back of Grandma Gu's head.
"Bang, bang..."
The aluminum lunchbox from the handbag hit Grandma Gu squarely on the head.
