Chapter 127 Qiao Shuhui Appears
the next day
When Gu Yihan returned to the residential compound after get off work, she learned that the entire compound was in an uproar.
Several versions of the story about Lan Cao, the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, have been circulating.
Military wives' gossip gathering place
"Aunt Chen, have you heard? Lancao had a miscarriage," Li's wife, Sister-in-law Li, asked softly.
As expected, Aunt Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "I know, I also know that orchids won't be able to grow anymore."
The military wives all gasped in unison.
Wenjuan looked at Aunt Chen curiously and asked doubtfully, "Aunt Chen, who told you that? Isn't Lancao still in the hospital?"
Wang Erya, who had been standing in the background the whole time, spoke up: "I've heard about it too. It was Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother who said it."
Li Xia, the sister-in-law of Li's sister-in-law, twitched her lips and said, "Is this mother-in-law stupid? Family scandals should not be aired in public."
Aunt Chen snorted coldly: "Who knows what she's thinking?"
"I guess they wanted to discourage Lancao and stop clinging to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang."
Gu Yihan was riding her bicycle toward the courtyard when she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Aunt Chen.
"Xiao Han".
Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yihan looked in the direction of Aunt Chen and saw her waving her arms vigorously among a group of military wives.
She rode her bicycle over to them and found that she knew almost all the military wives there, including the one who had taken sides.
"Xiao Han, do you know? Lan Cao got her comeuppance," Aunt Chen said mysteriously.
Gu Yihan was taken aback. She looked at the group of military wives and knew that they usually finished their chores at home.
They gossip about this and that, and those who are well-informed probably spread the news faster than even the military's communications officers.
Gu Yihan provided ample emotional support to these military wives, pretending to be curious, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Li blurted out, "What else could it be? She had a miscarriage. The doctor said she can't have any more children!"
The military wife who had taken sides also sneered, "She got her comeuppance."
She watched the entire river from beginning to end yesterday.
Lan Cao is a vicious person who can do bad things openly and honestly, and he's no better behind the scenes.
Gu Yihan choked on her words. She was pregnant and dared not say anything, for fear of breaking a prophecy.
Besides, it's unlikely that a doctor would be so direct as to pronounce a death sentence, saying that the patient will never be able to conceive.
She quickly changed the subject, saying, "I have things to do at home. You guys chat, I'll be going now."
After saying that, she got on her bicycle and pedaled hard, disappearing in a flash.
The remaining group of military wives looked at each other in bewilderment. Aunt Li sneered, "This person, really, just ran away like that?"
"Can't she tell right from wrong? We're all standing up for her!"
Li Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly grabbed her sister-in-law's arm, afraid that her sister-in-law would say something offensive.
He then took her hand and greeted the other military wives, saying, "Ladies, we're leaving now."
Before long, the gossip squad disbanded.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lan Cao also returned to the family compound from the hospital.
She thought she had been resting at home for several days and would go back to work tomorrow, Monday.
Although the workload in first grade is not heavy, students cannot take too long off.
Gu Yihan lay on the recliner, and Mao Mao lay beside her chair.
"What? You don't want me to go to school to teach anymore?"
Gu Yihan was startled by Lan Cao's shout, and her eyes lit up.
He jogged to the alley next to the kitchen and listened carefully to the conversation in the yard across the street.
Lan Cao's voice rang out again: "Principal Shen, what did I do wrong that the school wants to expel me?"
Lan Cao really couldn't understand it. She had only asked for a few days off.
It's not like there's no one to cover for her, so why should she be fired?
Principal Shen stared at Lan Cao with a serious expression: "All the students' parents are filing a complaint against you?"
"They say you have bad character and will raise your child to be just like you, and they even worry about the child's life being in danger."
Lancao's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak.
She knew that the story from that day by the river had reached the school.
Principal Shen remained expressionless, coldly stating, "After careful consideration, the school has decided to dismiss you."
After Principal Shen left, Lan Cao stood in the courtyard and broke down in tears, feeling wronged.
She regretted it; she shouldn't have acted impulsively and let jealousy cloud her judgment. Now she's lost her job and her child.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother glanced at the orchids in the yard from the living room and snorted coldly, "Serves you right!"
Gu Yihan heard it clearly, albeit intermittently, and knew that Lan Cao had been expelled from school.
Gu Yihan felt much better and was extremely gloating.
She wasn't the kind of person who didn't hold grudges; she remembered everything clearly.
"Mao Mao, let's go for a walk. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll walk with you." Gu Yihan called out happily.
Upon hearing about taking a walk, Mao Mao immediately jumped up and went straight out of the courtyard.
A man and his dog strolled around, greeting any military wives they encountered.
We're almost at the foot of the mountain. I'm tired and want to find a place to rest.
Gu Yihan had just found a large stone stool to sit on, letting Mao Mao go off and run around on its own.
A moment later, a voice sounded behind me.
"Brother Yifei, our baby can roll over now, do you want to touch him/her?"
Gu Yihan paused. That damned green tea b*tch. Qiao Shuhui can enter the family compound again?
She carefully turned to the side, holding her breath as she stared at the two people not far away.
Qiao Shuhui quickly pulled Lin Yifei's hand and placed it on her stomach.
With a blush on her face, she asked shyly, "Brother Yifei, did you feel it? Our baby is moving."
Gu Yihan's eyes lit up as she watched. Was Lin Yi doing this on purpose? Otherwise, how could he not have escaped Qiao Shuhui's clutches?
Lin Yifei felt the rolling motion under his palm; he had also been looking forward to this child.
Right now, there's only confusion about the child in Qiao Shuhui's belly, but it's still her own child.
Lin Yifei coldly withdrew his hand: "Go back now, and don't come to the family compound unless it's absolutely necessary."
Qiao Shuhui bit her lip tightly, suddenly looked up, ran up and quickly kissed Lin Yifei, then ran away.
She still uttered harsh words: "I will not give up on you, you are the love of my life."
Gu Yihan: "..."
