Chapter 354 Li Yaqing Gets Beaten
May is almost over in the blink of an eye. The weather in Beijing is very strange. Just the day before, I was wearing many layers of clothing.
As soon as May arrives, summer arrives in an instant, with daytime temperatures getting hotter day by day.
It's hot enough, but the temperature difference between day and night is huge, which has caused Hao Hao to have a cough these past few days.
When Lu Huailin returned after buying breakfast, he saw Gu Yihan cooking in the kitchen and assumed she was preparing a meal.
He called out with a smile, "Honey, I've bought breakfast."
Gu Yihan gave a soft "hmm" and called out to him, "Huailin, wake Hao Hao up for breakfast."
"Mom, I'm already up."
Hao Hao called out to the kitchen as he went downstairs.
Lu Huailin walked into the kitchen and gently put his arm around his wife's waist from behind.
He rested his chin on her shoulder, his gaze fixed on the boiling pear soup in the pot.
He asked in surprise, "Wife, why did you decide to make rock sugar pear soup?"
Gu Yihan turned her head and glared at him, saying irritably, "Didn't you hear Hao Hao coughing last night?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin awkwardly touched his nose and whispered, "Wife, boys don't need to be so delicate."
Gu Yihan rolled her eyes at him, picked up a spoon and took a bite. It was sweet rock sugar pear soup, Hao Hao would definitely like it.
The family sat together to eat breakfast
Lu Huailin: "Honey, I'm going to see Mom today, are you coming?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan paused in her porridge-drinking. It had been a month since Lu's mother was discharged from the hospital, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her, as the daughter-in-law, to remain out of sight for so long.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "It's the weekend today, I'll go with you."
After finishing his breakfast, Hao Hao sipped his sweet rock sugar pear soup and said in his childish voice, "Mommy, I want to go to Grandpa's house."
Gu Yihan looked up at Lu Huailin and said, "Haohao wants to go to Dad's."
"Okay, let's take him to Dad first, then go to the department store to buy some things, and then go to Mom's."
When Hao Hao heard that Lu Huailin had agreed, his voice was filled with excited joy as he shouted, "Yay, let's go to Grandpa's house!"
Gu Yihan looked at him with tender eyes. Hao Hao was too young to understand the complexities of adulthood.
However, he could keenly sense who liked him and who didn't.
Beijing Lu Family
As soon as Lu Huailin parked the car, Hao Hao jumped out and pounced on his father, who had been waiting for a long time.
Mr. Lu bent down and picked up Hao Hao, smiling as he said, "Hao Hao, did you miss Grandpa?"
"think!"
Hao Hao's innocent and loud response made Mr. Lu burst out laughing.
"Dad, my wife and I are going to see Mom. Hao Hao goes first..."
Mr. Lu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Lu Huailin: "You all hurry up and leave, don't delay me from building a relationship with my eldest grandson."
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back, carrying Hao Hao in her arms.
He wanted to go to Old Man Leng's house to let him see his adorable grandson, so that Old Man Leng wouldn't laugh at him every day for being all alone.
Hao Hao leaned on his father's shoulder, smiling as he waved goodbye to his parents.
Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin exchanged a smile and glanced at each other.
...
Department store
Gu Yihan bought two bottles of malted milk powder, two cans of luncheon meat, and two bottles of honey.
Lu Huailin noticed that his wife had been walking back and forth in the daily necessities area several times.
Unable to resist laughing, he teased, "Honey, you've come all this way to the city, why don't you buy yourself something?"
Gu Yihan looked up at him, shook her head, and said, "I can buy anything in my family compound, I don't need to buy it here."
After saying that, she went straight to the pastry section and bought some sponge cakes.
After shopping, Lu Huailin carried the net bag and walked with his wife toward the entrance of the department store.
"Xiao Han, what brings you to the city?"
Gu Yihan looked up and saw Fu Ling walking towards her with a smile.
She smiled and nodded, saying, "Sister Ling, what a coincidence! You're here to buy things too."
"The inner liner of the thermos at home is broken."
Gu Yihan was about to reply when she was suddenly bumped by the person next to her and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Huailin caught her in time.
Fu Ling glanced at the unfamiliar female comrade who had fallen to the ground, stepped forward to help her up, and said coldly, "Comrade, are you alright?"
Lu Huailin looked at his wife with concern and whispered, "Honey, does your foot hurt?"
He just saw his wife twist her ankle.
Gu Yihan carefully moved her ankle and did not feel any pain.
She looked up and met Lu Huailin's worried eyes, smiled, and said, "It doesn't hurt, I'm not injured."
Her gaze fell on the person who had just bumped into her, her pupils contracted sharply, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
Looking at Li Yajing, whose hair was disheveled and whose cheeks were red and swollen, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
"Ya Jing, who did this to you?"
Li Yajing raised her head in a daze and saw that the person standing in front of her was Gu Yihan.
Before he could explain, he buried his face in her arms and burst into tears.
He released the helplessness and fear that had been building up for several days.
Seeing that Li Yaqing was crying so hard she could barely breathe, Gu Yihan didn't ask any questions. Instead, she gently patted her back, silently comforting her.
Fu Ling glanced at Li Yaqing, who was wailing loudly, then looked up to meet Gu Yihan's worried eyes, nodded to her, and left first.
Lu Huailin raised his wrist to check the time and reminded her, "Wife, it's getting late."
Upon hearing Lu Huailin's words, Li Yajing stepped out of Gu Yihan's embrace, her eyes red as she looked up at her.
She choked back tears as she said, "Xiao Han, you go ahead with your work, I'm going back now."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Seeing this, Gu Yihan quickly stepped forward, took her arm, and asked softly, "Sister Ya Jing, did Secretary Chang hit you?"
Before Li Yajing could reply, a sharp voice rang out: "Li Yajing, get back here right now!"
Upon hearing Chang's mother's voice, Li Yaqing covered her head and scurried behind Gu Yihan, her body trembling like a leaf.
He kept shouting, "Don't hit me, don't hit me."
Gu Yihan was stunned. She turned her head in disbelief to look at Li Yajing, who was squatting behind her, and her nose tingled with emotion.
How could she have changed so much in just a few months?
Mother Chang held a wooden ruler for measuring clothes in her hand, and without even glancing at Gu Yihan, her gaze fell on the trembling Li Yaqing.
She gritted her teeth and said, "How many times have I told you? You're not allowed to use family money to subsidize your family with overseas connections!"
"You just won't listen. It seems I didn't hit you hard enough."
After saying that, he swung the wooden ruler and was about to slap Li Yajing across the face.
Gu Yihan's expression changed, and she grabbed Chang's mother's wrist, shouting sternly, "What right do you have to hit people?"
Chang's mother narrowed her eyes slightly, looking Gu Yihan up and down, noticing that she was wearing ordinary cotton clothes.
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "It's none of your business if I hit my own daughter-in-law."
