Chapter 276 Self-flowing Curl
weekend
After finishing breakfast, Gu Yihan instructed her grandmother, who was sitting on the sofa, "Grandma, I'm going to Hu Shan's house today."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu turned to look at her granddaughter and said in a hoarse voice, "Please thank her for me!"
Hearing her grandmother's voice, Gu Yihan frowned, poured a glass of honey water, and handed it to her: "Grandma, your throat is dehydrated!"
Grandma Gu looked up at her granddaughter, smiled, took the water glass, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Gu Yihan let out a deep breath.
Grandma Gu has almost fully recovered in the past few days.
I just don't know if it's because Gu Meng left her with too much psychological trauma.
This caused her to become less optimistic than before, and she kept everything bottled up inside, not saying anything to herself.
...
Hu Shan, holding her child, was taking a stroll with Cheng Weihong at the entrance of the courtyard.
Hearing the "ding-a-ling" of a bicycle, he looked up and saw Gu Yihan.
Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed happily, "Xiao Han! What brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan smiled, stopped her bicycle, and teased Hu Shan, "Sister Shan, are you unhappy to see me?"
Hu Shan quickly shoved Jingjing into Cheng Weihong's arms and hurried to Gu Yihan's side.
He reached out and took her arm, saying, "How could I not be happy?"
Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "By the way, how is Grandma Gu's health?"
Gu Yihan pushed her bicycle and walked into the courtyard side by side with Hu Shan.
She said, "Sister Shan, my grandma is much better now. We really owe you a lot this time."
Hu Shan scratched her head and looked at Gu Yihan apologetically, saying, "Look at what you're saying. If you hadn't been so cautious, Grandma Gu wouldn't have been able to return to your home so quickly!"
Gu Yihan chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"Oh, Comrade Gu is here! How is your grandmother's health?" The auntie in the courtyard saw Gu Yihan and immediately stepped forward to inquire.
Gu Yihan glanced at the aunt and remembered that she had borrowed the cart from her family that day.
He quickly took out six White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand.
She smiled and said, "Auntie, my grandma is much better now, thank you for your concern."
The aunt looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in her palm, and her smile became even more genuine.
Worried that the aunt would go on and on, Hu Shan quickly interrupted, "Auntie, Xiao Han and I are going home first."
The woman smiled and nodded.
Hu Shan gestured for Gu Yihan to sit on the bench, then turned around and poured her a cup of brown sugar water, placing it in front of her.
Gu Yihan took out a pound of meat and half a pound of brown sugar from her handbag and placed them on the table.
He said with a smile, "Sister Shan, it's not anything special either, so you can't look down on it!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan glanced at the brown sugar and meat on the table and laughed.
She knew that Gu Yihan was saying this on purpose because she was afraid Gu Yihan wouldn't accept it.
She didn't stand on ceremony and said cheerfully, "Xiao Han, you're too kind. Why did you bring something?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan stood up, stepped forward, and took Hu Shan's arm. The two sat down on the bench together.
She said frankly, "Sister Shan, if it weren't for you secretly helping me take care of Grandma, she probably wouldn't have lasted this long!"
"Besides, you saved my grandma's life this time, so I can't just say thank you verbally without doing anything in return."
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan paused for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Yihan and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Xiaohan, you're exaggerating too much!"
Gu Yihan smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
"Sister-in-law, Jingjing is hungry. Can you hold her for a while? I'll go make her some food!"
Cheng Weihong stood at the door and interrupted Gu Yihan and Hu Shan's conversation.
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan said to Gu Yihan, "Xiaohan, you haven't seen my daughter yet. Let me bring her over so you can have a look!"
After saying that, he stood up with a smile, walked to Cheng Weihong, took the child, and kissed her cheek.
He strode up to Gu Yihan, sat down next to her, and boasted, "Xiaohan, don't you think my daughter is pretty?"
Gu Yihan glanced at the child in Hu Shan's arms. The child had fair skin, a round face, double eyelids, and big eyes.
When her gaze fell on her hair, she paused for a moment. Just like Cheng Bo, her hair was naturally curly!
"How about it?"
Hearing Hu Shan's question, Gu Yihan joked, "Sister Shan, your daughter's hair is naturally curly too. Looks like she took after Director Cheng!"
"Hehe, I also think Jingjing's naturally curly hair is destined for our family." Gu Shan laughed happily.
She didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a coincidence, since there are quite a few people with naturally curly hair.
Thinking of this, Hu Shan said excitedly, "Xiao Han, I've heard that some adopted children grow up to look more and more like their adoptive parents. That's what they mean by 'like father, like mother, like daughter'!"
Gu Yihan looked at Hu Shan, who was looking excited, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She trusted Cheng Bo too much and never imagined that he would betray their family.
And she couldn't directly tell her that the child might be Cheng Bo's, because there was no evidence.
At that time, there was no such thing as a paternity test to prove that the two people were related by blood.
Ten minutes later
Cheng Weihong walked into the living room with a smile, placed the prepared rice porridge on the dining table, and walked over to Hu Shan.
He praised her, "Sister-in-law, Jingjing likes you more and more!"
"She cries less when you're home!"
"real?"
Cheng Weihong smiled and walked to Hu Shan's side to take Jingjing, saying with a smile, "Of course it's true, would I lie to you?"
Gu Yihan saw that Hu Shanwen was visibly happy.
"By the way, Sister Shan, why isn't Secretary Cheng home?"
Cheng Weihong paused for a moment when she heard Gu Yihan's question.
Hu Shan puffed out her cheeks and huffed, "Going back to my hometown!"
"I don't know what it is about his hometown that attracts him, but he goes back every weekend!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan feigned an "Ah!" and exaggeratedly asked, "Going back every weekend?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think that Officer Cheng had a family back in his hometown!"
"Snap!"
Gu Yihan and Hu Shan stared at the shattered porcelain spoon on the ground.
Cheng Weihong hurriedly stood up while holding Jingjing, looking at her helplessly, "Sister-in-law, I... I didn't hold it properly just now."
Hearing this, Hu Shan smiled and reassured her, "It's okay, you fell, so what? As long as you're not hurt!"
Gu Yihan glanced at him with a knowing look in her eyes; Cheng Weihong probably still had some conscience.
At least he knows he has a guilty conscience, unlike Cheng Bo who is so bad he's impervious to harm.
...
Family compound
As Gu Yihan rode her bicycle, she was lost in thought. She wanted to help Hu Shan and didn't want her to continue being deceived by Cheng Bo.
Su Nian and Zhou Ni were playing games at the entrance of the courtyard when they saw Gu Yihan riding her bicycle directly past their door.
He immediately called out, "Xiao Han..."
Gu Yihan heard Su Nian's shout, and the screeching sound of the bicycle brakes almost deafened her!
Su Nian quickly picked up her daughter and hurried to Gu Yihan's side, asking worriedly, "Xiaohan, are you alright?"
Gu Yihan raised her hand and patted her ear, shaking her head and saying, "Sister Su, it's nothing!"
After saying that, he pushed his bicycle and walked home.
