Chapter 175 Utilization
6 a.m. the next day
Lu Huailin rarely skipped his morning exercise. He turned to the side, looking at his wife and son in his arms.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Lu Huailin, come out here, you bastard."
The sound of a banging on the courtyard gate rang out, followed by Shen Yujie's loud shout.
Lu Huailin subconsciously looked at his son in his wife's arms, only to see his little mouth pout: "Wah..."
Gu Yihan was awakened by her son's loud cries. She quickly sat up and saw Lu Huailin holding the child and gently soothing him.
"Lu Huailin, you heartless bastard."
Gu Yihan frowned and took the child from Lu Huailin's arms.
"Go see what's wrong with Shen Yujie so early in the morning?"
Lu Huailin nodded and walked out of the bedroom with a cold face.
Grandma Gu at the door was furious. She pushed the madman away and yelled, "Are you sick?"
Shen Yujie was furious. He only found out last night that Lu Huailin had sent Qiao Shuhui to a labor camp.
He would have come over last night if it hadn't been too late to get into the family compound.
Lu Huailin walked to the door and kicked away Shen Yujie, who was trying to push Grandma Gu away.
Grandma Gu patted her chest, terrified. Where did this lunatic come from?
Shen Yujie's eyes were bloodshot as he questioned Lu Huailin, "Why did you treat Qiao Shuhui like this?"
Lu Huailin glanced at the deranged Shen Yujie and couldn't understand how he had become like this. He lost his mind the moment it came to Qiao Shuhui.
"She ruined my wife and son, why do you think that is?"
Shen Yujie came after doing his research; the news had spread throughout the military hospital, so he didn't need to ask around—his former colleagues had already told him.
He roared, "That doesn't mean we have to send her to a labor camp!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu grabbed Lu Huailin's arm: "You mean this Qiao guy is trying to harm Xiaohan and Haohao?"
Lu Huailin nodded and then said, "She instigated the midwife to give Hao Hao concentrated saline solution."
Grandma Gu's heart clenched. This was going to kill her little grandson. Such a vicious woman deserved to be shot.
Shen Yujie retorted, "Isn't it because my sister-in-law and nephew are both fine?"
Lu Huailin looked at Shen Yujie with a cold gaze, and snorted, "If something really happened, do you think she would still be alive to go to the farm?"
Shen Yujie looked at Lu Huailin with pleading eyes, his previous hostility gone: "Please let Xiaohui go, okay?"
Grandma Gu was so angry that her chest heaved: "How could you say such shameless things?"
He turned to Lu Huailin and yelled, "You still want to reason with someone like that? In our Gujia Village, we'd beat the shit out of him!"
"Pfft." Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother finally couldn't hold back. She had been woken up early in the morning by Shen Yujie, and after listening for a long time, she still couldn't understand what was going on, even with a mix of guesswork and explanation.
Shen Yujie was about to speak in rebuttal to Grandma Gu when he was interrupted by a sharp female roar.
"Shen Yujie".
Shen Yujie subconsciously glanced around, wanting to find a place to hide.
Lu Huailin and Grandma Gu looked toward the source of the sound and saw Yu Shanyue with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Shen Yujie.
"He was acting suspiciously early in the morning; he clearly had ill intentions. And I actually caught him."
After saying that, she ran to Shen Yujie's side like lightning and slapped him repeatedly without giving him a chance to dodge.
The guards who came with Yu Shanyue were stunned. They hadn't expected this woman to be so fierce.
When Aunt Chen came out, all she heard was the sound of "slap, slap."
She stared in disbelief at Yu Shanyue's hand movements, which were as fast as punctuation marks.
Grandma Gu, who was standing nearby, helped control Shen Yujie's body to prevent him from escaping.
She knew Shen Yujie; he was a doctor at the military hospital and a close friend of Lu Huailin.
Aunt Chen quickly walked over to Lu Huailin and whispered, "Is that woman Dr. Shen's wife?"
Lu Huailin smiled and nodded to Aunt Chen.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother and Aunt Chen, who had come out to watch the commotion, exchanged a glance.
Seeing that Yu Shanyue had stopped, Lu Huailin called out to the soldier guarding the gate, instructing him to expel Shen Yujie from the family compound and not to let him in again.
Turning to Yu Shanyue, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Yu Shanyue shook her hand, glanced at Grandma Gu, and said with a smile, "I was just thinking of chatting with my sister-in-law for a while."
Shen Yujie was pulled along by the guards and staggered towards the family compound.
He dared not let Lu Huailin release Qiao Shuhui now; if Yu Shanyue found out, he would have no good days ahead.
In the bedroom
Gu Yihan heard footsteps and thought Lu Huailin had finished dealing with Shen Yujie's matter. She had just sat up when she found that the person who came in was Yu Shanyue.
He smiled and said, "Shanyue, come and sit down."
Yu Shanyue walked to Gu Yihan's bedside, looked down at the sleeping child, took out a gold lock from her pocket, and handed it to her with a smile: "A gift for the baby."
Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin, who had just entered, and he nodded slightly.
He smiled and put it away.
Yu Shanyue had barely sat down when she dropped a bombshell: "I'm getting a divorce."
Gu Yihan looked up at Yu Shanyue in surprise and asked softly, "Divorce from Shen Yujie?"
Lu Huailin walked to Gu Yihan's side and glanced at his son cautiously.
Yu Shanyue looked at the family of three with envy, sighed, and said, "I'm going to join the army."
Lu Huailin glanced at Yu Shanyue: "The path has been found?"
Yu Shanyue smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm here today to apologize for taking advantage of you."
Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin exchanged a glance, and she asked in confusion, "Use? What do you mean?"
Yu Shanyue saw that Lu Huailin's face had turned cold, and knew that he must have guessed it.
He explained to Gu Yihan, "Xiaohan, I was the one who leaked the news that Qiao Shuhui had been sent to a labor camp to Shen Yujie."
Gu Yihan was stunned; she knew nothing about Qiao Shuhui's situation.
Lu Huailin sat on the bed, holding his wife's hand, and told her everything Qiao Shuhui had done.
Gu Yihan listened quietly to him finish speaking, without revealing any expression on her face.
My heart was in turmoil. If I hadn't been discharged from the hospital immediately, I would have been caught off guard.
Seeing that his wife was silent, Lu Huailin assumed she was angry and worried that she would get sick from the anger and develop postpartum complications: "Wife, you can't get angry during your postpartum period."
Gu Yihan smiled at Lu Huailin and looked at Yu Shanyue: "What does this have to do with your divorce?"
Yu Shanyue sighed. Shen Yujie had been behaving himself at home for the past few months and hadn't contacted Qiao Shuhui in private, so she couldn't find an excuse to file for divorce.
Her unilateral termination of the marriage will definitely damage the long-standing relationship between the two families.
Only if Shen Yujie makes a mistake and she files for divorce can she avoid offending Shen's parents and preserve the long-standing relationship between the two families.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan asked incredulously, "So you knew that Shen Yujie would go crazy when he heard about Qiao Shuhui's situation and cause a scene at the family compound, and you took the opportunity to get a divorce?"
Yu Shanyue smiled apologetically at Gu Yihan and said shyly, "I'm sorry, little..."
Lu Huailin interrupted Yu Shanyue and said, "Now that the goal has been achieved, you can leave."
Yu Shanyue's face stiffened. She hadn't expected Lu Huailin to be so direct. After quietly saying goodbye to Gu Yihan, she stood up and left.
