Chapter 360 Guilt
Around noon
Gu Yihan checked the time and smiled at Li Yajing beside her, saying, "Yajing, have lunch at home before you leave."
Li Yajing smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need, my cousin bought a ticket back to Kunming at noon."
"If you have lunch at your house, you'll miss your train."
After saying that, Li Yaqing looked hesitant, as if she had something to say but didn't know how to say it.
Seeing this, Gu Yihan asked in confusion, "Sister Yajing, is there something you want to say?"
Li Yajing thought for a moment and then sighed.
"Xiao Han, I don't even know Zeng Xiao, so why would she go to such lengths to frame me?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something.
He frowned and asked, "Was it Zeng Xiao who framed your uncle and aunt?"
Li Yajing nodded and said, "My cousin said that she bribed my cousin to put the letters from overseas in my father's study."
"But after thinking it over, I realized that my family and the Zeng family have no history of conflict, and we don't even know each other."
What benefit would Zeng Xiao gain from doing this?
Gu Yihan remembered Lu Huailin saying that Grandma Gu and Gu Meng were reported to the neighborhood committee and the revolutionary committee by Zeng Xiao.
They were forcibly repatriated to Gujia Village by the local police station because they did not have Kuncheng household registration or a letter of introduction.
Now that Li Yajing's parents have also gotten into trouble, could it be because of Secretary Jiang that Zeng Xiao hates her?
That's why she retaliated indiscriminately against those who were on her side?
Thinking of this
Gu Yihan felt that she had dragged Li Yajing into this mess, and a sudden wave of guilt washed over her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Li Yajing had been watching Gu Yihan's expression closely, and felt relieved when she saw her lost in thought.
A moment later, Gu Yihan looked up and forced a smile at Li Yajing.
After thinking about it
She inquired, "Sister Yajing, I remember your aunt is a doctor, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yajing smiled and said, "My mother is an obstetrician, and my father is a technician at a chemical plant."
"As for my brother..."
Li Yajing revealed an expression more painful than tears, and said coldly, "He has already published a notice in the newspaper severing ties."
Gu Yihan remained silent upon hearing this.
Given his political background and unwillingness to lose his job and be sent to the countryside, Li Yajing's elder brother had no choice but to sever ties with the authorities.
At this moment, Lin Yifei, who had finished chatting with Lu Huailin in the study, came downstairs.
She smiled and said, "Ya Jing, it's getting late, we should go now."
Lu Huailin, who was following closely behind, noticed that Gu Yihan's expression was not good, so he quickly went to her side.
He asked in a low voice, "Honey, are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Yihan looked up at him and shook her head.
Li Yajing stood up and said goodbye to Gu Yihan.
Gu Yihan suddenly grabbed Li Yajing, who was about to turn around.
She said, "Sister Ya Jing, could you leave me your contact information?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yajing's eyes lit up, and she quickly gave her Lin Yifei's phone number from Kuncheng.
Gu Yihan wrote down the contact information and, together with Lu Huailin, escorted Li Yajing and Lin Yifei to the door.
On the way back
Lin Yifei turned his head to look at Li Yajing, whose face was full of joy.
He smiled and said, "Are you so sure that Xiao Han can definitely help?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yajing's lips curled up slightly.
He deliberately whispered in Lin Yifei's ear, "Just wait for the good news that my dad and mom are coming back."
Lin Yifei smiled and shook his head, saying, "I really don't know what you're thinking."
"Since you think Xiaohan can help you, why not just say it directly instead of using such roundabout language?"
Li Yajing rolled her eyes at Lin Yifei and said irritably, "Why did you have to be so direct?"
"Should I directly confront Xiaohan and ask her if she's the one who dragged my parents down with her?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yifei paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and remained silent.
Li Yajing glanced at Lin Yifei, then turned her head away and ignored him.
Do you really think she's stupid?
If you just say it directly, Gu Yihan will help you, and that will end the relationship between them.
Now she's letting Gu Yihan find out for herself, letting her know that her parents might be targeted by Zeng Xiao because of her.
Given Gu Yihan's personality, she will definitely feel guilty and will try to help her parents in the future.
In this way, Mr. and Mrs. Li can come back, and their relationship will be the same as before. Why not?
As for Secretary Chang, he's such a profit-driven man, he'll give him to whoever he wants.
Family compound
Seeing his wife following him in and out, Lu Huailin stopped heading towards the kitchen.
He turned around, took her hand, hugged her, picked her up, and carried her to the sofa.
Looking directly into her eyes, he asked with concern, "Wife, is something wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.
She told Lu Huailin everything that Li Yajing had told her.
After saying that, she sighed deeply and said, "Huailin, I feel so suffocated."
"If it's really because of me, wouldn't Ya Jing hate me to death?"
Hearing his wife's guilty tone, Lu Huailin gently patted her back.
He comforted her, saying, "Wife, since Comrade Li is telling you all this, it's because he wants your help."
They're all smart people; nobody's stupid.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan pondered for a moment.
She didn't know who to ask for help from within her own network of relationships.
No one has such power to protect Li's parents.
Lu Huailin just watched his wife quietly, wondering when she would realize that she had a powerful backer in the family.
Gu Yihan had almost pulled her hair out bald. After thinking about all the people she knew, she realized that there were very few.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly, saying, "I know who to look for."
Lu Huailin thought his wife had finally thought of him, but who knew she would just leave like that.
Gu Yihan quickly walked to the phone and dialed the research institute's number.
She was stunned for a moment when she heard that the person who answered the phone was Leng Xiao.
He then smiled and asked, "Comrade Leng, is your Master Chu here?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin immediately stood up, walked to his wife, pressed his cheek against hers, and occasionally chimed in.
Research Institute
When Leng Xiao heard that Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin wanted Master Chu to help protect Li's father and mother, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Without even thinking, he refused outright: "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, there's no need to ask. Master Chu will not agree."
After saying that, he slammed the phone down.
He was so angry at Lu Huailin that he laughed. Even if you love your wife, you can't be indiscriminate in your behavior.
In this sensitive period, who dares to shelter someone with a political background?
On the other side
Gu Yihan looked at Lu Huailin in disbelief and pointed at the phone.
He huffed, "I didn't ask Master Chu for help for nothing!"
"I'll give him a bottle of medicine. What does Leng Xiao mean by this? I didn't even finish my sentence before he hung up on me!"
Lu Huailin saw that his wife was furious.
Fearing that she might take out her anger on Leng Xiao on him, he quickly patted her back.
He angrily cursed, "What kind of person is this? They're just looking down on people like dogs."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan glared at Lu Huailin and turned to go upstairs.
