Chapter 118 Qiao Shuhui Leaves
Mother Shen was so angry that she trembled all over, no longer caring about the image she had maintained for so many years.
She yelled at Gu Yihan, "Get out! Our family doesn't welcome ill-mannered people like you."
"Who is Auntie saying is ill-mannered?" Lu Huailin's gloomy voice rang out.
He strode over to Gu Yihan and took her hand.
His sharp gaze swept over the group of women in the room, finally settling on Chen's mother.
When Chen's mother's gaze fell on Lu Huailin holding Gu Yihan's hand, her eyes flickered.
She smiled at the two of them and said, "Xiao Lu, this is your wife! Shan Yue didn't even tell us beforehand, there's been a misunderstanding."
Mother Shen greeted Lu Huailin, "Sit down quickly. This isn't the first time I've met Xiao Han. I didn't expect this child to have such a good temperament."
When Yu Shanyue heard that Shen's mother was shifting the blame onto her, she didn't explain, mainly because she didn't want to cause any trouble on her wedding day.
Lu Huailin looked at Gu Yihan with gentle eyes: "If you don't feel comfortable here, we can go home."
Instead of answering, Gu Yihan asked, "Why did you come here?"
Ignoring the stares from others, Lu Huailin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."
“I’m usually busy, and it’s so rare for us both to have a break. I want to be able to look after you all the time.”
Gu Yihan was quite pleased with herself, and she gave Lu Huailin a reproachful look.
After Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin finished their meal, they found Shen Yujie and Yu Shanyue, told them about their conversation, and then went home.
After everyone who had eaten left...
The four members of the Shen family gathered together for a family meeting.
Chen's mother looked at Yu Shanyue and instructed her, "Shanyue, since Yujie is working in Kuncheng..."
"You should stay too. Newlyweds should live together long-term."
Seeing that Shen Yujie had his head down and didn't object, Yu Shanyue readily agreed, "Thank you, Mom. I will take good care of Yujie."
Mother Shen nodded in satisfaction, then said with disgust, "However, you should stay away from that Lu Huailin's wife in the future."
"What's wrong? Did Lu Huailin's wife offend you?" Mr. Shen looked at Mrs. Shen with suspicion.
Before Chen's mother could speak, Yu Shanyue said directly, "Mom had some conflict with Gu Yihan today."
She recounted the entire conflict between the two of them.
Mr. Shen glared at Mrs. Shen with a livid face: "Ignorant! Even if Lu Huailin's wife is the worst, she's still better than the son you gave birth to."
Yu Yueshan: "..."
"Dad, it's Mom's own problem, why are you dragging me into it?" Shen Yujie said unhappily.
Looking at Shen's mother and Shen Yujie, Shen's father sneered, "You've inherited your mother's sparrow-like brain. If I don't criticize you, who else should I criticize?"
"You still look down on him? Don't you see that Lu Huailin is a regimental commander at such a young age? If he hadn't been underage, he would have been promoted long ago."
Shen Yujie suddenly stood up and shouted at his father, "Lu Huailin married a woman from the countryside, and his parents didn't object."
“When it’s my turn, you all disagree. If you hadn’t been so adamant about not agreeing, Qiao Shuhui and I would have married long ago, instead of her marrying…”
"Slap!" Enraged, Shen's father slapped Shen Yujie across the face.
"You ruined your future for a pretentious woman, isn't that enough? You want to ruin your family too?"
After being hit, Shen Yujie didn't say anything, kicked the stool away, and slammed the door shut as he left.
Chen's mother looked on awkwardly, then took Yu Shanyue's hand and said, "Shanyue, don't worry, that woman is already married."
"It won't disturb your relationship with Yujie, I..."
"Shut up! You've spoiled Yujie, and you want your daughter-in-law to be like you?" Mr. Shen said angrily to Mrs. Shen.
Shen's father looked at Yu Shanyue and said, "Shanyue, I'm entrusting Yujie to you. If he doesn't listen to you, just beat him. If one beating isn't enough, beat him twice."
Yu Shanyue's lips curled up slightly as she assured her father, "Dad, don't worry, I'll listen to you."
...
After returning home, Gu Yihan lay on the wooden sofa and grumbled to Lu Huailin, "It's a pity that Yu Shanyue married Shen Yujie."
"Shen Yujie is a scoundrel; who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause in the future?"
Lu Huailin walked to Gu Yihan's side, reached under her armpits, and lifted her up.
Gu Yihan's feet dangled in the air, startling her so much that she immediately grabbed the other person's neck and patted his back: "What are you doing?"
Lu Huailin sat on the sofa and let Gu Yihan sit on his lap.
He then said, "Why are you getting more and more concerned about other people's business? But don't worry, Yu Shanyue won't suffer any losses."
"Even three Shen Yujies couldn't beat her."
Gu Yihan looked at Lu Huailin with sparkling eyes: "You two know each other?"
Lu Huailin held her waist and patiently explained, "Yes, we know each other."
“They’re all from the same compound. Yu Shanyue wanted to join the army, but her family disagreed.”
"They wanted to arrange a job for Yu Shanyue, but they were reported. She married Shen Yujie so that she wouldn't have to go to the countryside as an educated youth."
Gu Yihan sighed, "That's really putting Yu Shanyue in a difficult position. A beautiful flower has been stuck in dung."
next day
Gu Yihan stretched, squinted, and touched the watch under her pillow. She glanced at it and saw it was 10 o'clock.
She got up quickly, wanting to visit Zhao Ju's house during the holiday.
I haven't been there even once since I promised Battalion Commander Shi.
After eating breakfast, Gu Yihan checked the time and realized it was almost 11 o'clock. She decided to go in the afternoon and go for a walk first.
I had just stepped out of my house and was taking a walk in the family compound when I ran into several military wives sitting together chatting.
Aunt Chen took out a small stool and handed it to Gu Yihan: "Xiaohan, sit for a while. You're usually at work, so it's rare to see you."
Gu Yihan didn't stand on ceremony and took the stool, sitting down directly.
There are several military wives here, but she only knows Aunt Chen and Wenjuan.
Aunt Chen patted Gu Yihan's arm: "Xiaohan, do you know? Qiao Shuhui has been kicked out of the family compound."
Gu Yihan was taken aback, thinking to herself, "The military leaders are so fast? Shen Yujie got married yesterday, and they kicked Qiao Shuhui out today."
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Aunt Chen assumed that Gu Yihan didn't believe her.
She pointed at Wenjuan and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Wenjuan. They live nearby."
Wenjuan didn't hide anything and told him what she knew: "Commander Lin has already returned the family staircase. He's single now that he's divorced, so he can't live there anymore."
Another military wife whom Gu Yihan didn't know sighed, "These two had only been married for a few months, and they got divorced just like that."
Aunt Chen chimed in, "That's right, Qiao Shuhui is pregnant, and she just said she didn't want the baby."
"Do you think it's possible that the child in her belly isn't Commander Lin's?" a very small voice asked.
Gu Yihan listened to their quiet whispers and discussions.
Gu Yihan wondered why no one asked her, even though she was a witness.
