Chapter 91 I might as well kill him or introduce him to someone.
Zhao Shuyi, worn down by his persistent nagging, finally agreed to Gu Chao's seemingly improbable request.
She asked the other party to slow down, at least to give her some time to find someone.
Gu Chao quickly agreed, "Thank you, sister-in-law! You're so kind, I love you to death!"
"Of course, I love my brother too, and I love my sister-in-law and brother together. Just don't send me away!" he said with a strong will to survive.
"Okay, I understand your request. I'll try to find a way, but I can't guarantee it will work."
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"
Zhao Shuyi still gave him a physical examination.
Young people recover quickly, and with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, his body has improved a lot. Now, as long as he doesn't make any big movements or pull on the wound to avoid causing further damage, he can continue to recuperate without any problems.
After the examination, she truthfully explained the situation, and Gu Chao thanked her profusely.
Zhao Shuyi felt that if she didn't leave soon, he would pounce on her and kneel down in front of her, so she quickly said, "Alright, alright, just stay here and don't aggravate your wound."
Just then, the two suddenly heard Gu Yan's voice from outside, a voice that sounded like it had been tempered by a thousand years of ice.
"Why are you here?"
Both Zhao Shuyi and Gu Chao were taken aback.
She quickly got up and left the room, fearing a fight might break out outside.
Zhao Shuyi had never heard Gu Yan speak in such a tone before.
As she went outside, she heard Gu Honggang angrily say, "What do you mean, 'Why are we here?' Can't we come? I'm your own father!"
Gu Yan sneered, "My biological father died long ago. You are Gu Chao's biological father now."
Everyone present knew that Gu Chao was his younger brother, and his words made it clear to everyone that their father-son relationship was not good.
Gu Yan really had no intention of saving face for either side.
Gu Honggang was speechless for a moment, his face contorted with rage, not expecting him to say that.
"How dare someone like you hang out in a place like the military?"
Gu Yan curled his lips. "What, you want to make things so bad that I can't stay in the army?"
"We'll see if you have the ability, or if you're so shameless that you're not afraid of making your little affair known to everyone?"
"Do you think I'd still care about your feelings now? Grandpa's not here."
A few words made Gu Honggang's face even uglier, and Cao Lijuan quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Can't you two, father and son, talk to each other properly after not seeing each other for so long?"
"Listen to his tone, it's infuriating!" With a way out, Gu Honggang went along with it, but his eyes were full of hostility as he looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan then said, "Since you're here, hurry up and take your precious son away. Don't get in the way."
Just like what Zhao Shuyi had said earlier, Gu Honggang almost jumped up again, but Cao Lijuan held him down.
"Xiao Chao is still injured. Where do you want him to move to? We'll take him away once he's healed. By the way, your brother said he has a girlfriend. Could you take us to meet her?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuyi asked, "Did you know he has a girlfriend?"
Gu Yan frowned. "I don't know. Ask him about his affairs, don't ask me."
These words completely extinguished the anxiety that had been weighing on the couple's minds.
They initially thought their son was talking nonsense, but judging from Zhao Shuyi's expression, it seemed to be true.
They absolutely do not want their son to find a partner in this area. Not only will he not find a good one, but what if the other party has ulterior motives?
If all else fails, consider the girl's character and family background. If she's truly exceptional, you could bring her back to Shanghai.
Gu Honggang turned to Zhao Shuyi: "Gu Yan's wife, could you introduce Gu Chao's partner to us?"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yan shielded Zhao Shuyi behind him.
"Ask your son about his affairs. Why are you asking my wife? Is my wife the head of your household?"
"Listen to what you're saying!"
Gu Honggang was seething with anger and was about to explode when he heard Gu Yan say coldly, "If you don't like it, get out. This isn't your home; it's my wife's home."
It was something similar to what Zhao Shuyi said, which made Gu Honggang very angry and gave him a headache.
Gu Honggang angrily said, "What are you all standing there for? Tell that brat to pack his things and leave. Can't you see they're kicking him out?"
He scoffed, "You don't need to come home anymore!"
Gu Yan showed absolutely no respect, saying, "Do you think I care?"
"Good job, you'd better remember what you just said."
Gu Honggang couldn't figure out what to do with his eldest son.
His eldest son is now taller and more powerful than him, and even has a stronger presence. Moreover, the old man is on his side. If the two of them really clash, he has no chance of winning at all.
Seeing that Cao Lijuan was still standing there in a daze, he gave her a push and said, "Hurry up and pack your things!"
Cao Lijuan actually wanted to stay here longer. If they were to meet their son's girlfriend, they would definitely need a more suitable place, and this family compound was the best place.
Judging from the state of the father and son, they probably won't recover. This whole commotion is enough.
But can Cao Lijuan still control Gu Yan as she used to?
Ever since Gu Yan was taken to live with the old man, she has been unable to do anything about this brat.
To her surprise, when she went inside to pack her son's things, Gu Chao refused to let her go.
"I'm not leaving. Mom and Dad, you can go yourselves. I'll stay with my brother and sister-in-law. I'm still injured, have you forgotten?"
"Do you expect that when I have an attack, no one will help me take care of myself?"
"My sister-in-law will take care of me. It's you guys who don't like my brother, not me."
Cao Lijuan glared at him, "You brat, what did I just tell you?"
She wanted to say that Gu Yan and the others were being nice to her with ulterior motives, but when she thought about how she had been scolded and pointed at just now, she didn't dare to say it.
A crowd of onlookers has already gathered outside. It's hard to say what that scoundrel will say that will make them lose face.
"Tell me first which family your boyfriend belongs to, so we can prepare some gifts and visit his family, so they don't think we're impolite."
"No!" Seeing his mother's expression change, Gu Chao said, "It's not that I don't want you to visit, but I have to talk to her first. If she doesn't agree, then it won't work. If she agrees, then I'll tell you the time."
Upon hearing this, Cao Lijuan's heart sank. It seemed that her son had been completely controlled by the other party. She wondered where this vixen had come from to bewitch her son so much.
My son just arrived in Kunming, didn't he?
How did you meet the right person so quickly?
Cao Lijuan's expression changed several times, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Mom, you can go out now. I want to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me. Let Dad have some peace and quiet too."
"Okay, okay, Mom and Dad won't bother you anymore. We'll go find a guesthouse to stay in now."
Cao Lijuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful, regretting that she had gone too far back then. If she hadn't pushed Gu Yan to the edge, he probably wouldn't be so cold and resistant towards them now.
After spending these years together, she realized that Gu Yan wasn't a greedy person. He didn't really care much about the things in his home. On the contrary, he was very soft-hearted and would remember anything that was good to him.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it before, and now that I want to mend things with him, it's too late.
The other party even hated Old Gu, let alone her, the stepmother.
Fortunately, she had done it discreetly before. Although everyone had their suspicions, there was no evidence. Moreover, everyone knew that being a stepmother was difficult and felt that she had a hard time. Over the years, the people in the family compound had treated her fairly well.
If that brat stays in Chuncheng well, that's what he hopes for, provided he doesn't bring his precious son here.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Cao Lijuan turned around sharply and stared at Gu Chao.
Gu Chao was startled by his mother's sudden outburst and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Tell me honestly, did your brother make you stay in Chuncheng? Did they introduce you to your girlfriend? Otherwise, how could you have found a girlfriend so soon after you arrived?"
Gu Chao was truly exasperated with his mother. She could always pin everything on his brother. Did they have some kind of grudge against each other?
It seems there really is a grudge, but if there is a grudge, it's because his mother provoked his brother; his brother didn't do anything at all.
Gu Chao felt that his mother had gone too far.
"Mom, can you please stop blaming my brother for everything?"
"Look at your son's weak body. His sister-in-law saved him. Can't you have a little gratitude?"
"I don't want to talk to you. Think it over carefully, or I'll stay in Chuncheng from now on and never go back to Jianshi!"
Cao Lijuan was terrified, "You dare?"
"If you provoke me again, see if I dare to do it!"
"Okay, okay, Mom won't say anything more, alright? I don't know what kind of spell he cast on you, but you're so protective of him."
Gu Chao: "He's always been very good to me since we were kids, haven't you noticed?"
“I didn’t notice. All I saw was that he’s always been indifferent to you since you were a child.”
Only this silly boy like me, who clings to the other person all day long, is completely unfazed by their coldness, and he doesn't care at all. It's so annoying to watch.
Gu Chao couldn't reason with his mother, so he closed his eyes, truly not wanting to talk to her anymore.
Cao Lijuan also didn't want to deal with her bratty son for the time being. She needed to go back and think carefully about how to deal with this guy who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She absolutely couldn't let Gu Chao have any intention of staying in Chuncheng.
The whole family didn't welcome the couple; even their own son wanted them to leave as soon as possible. The couple had no reason to stay there any longer.
Just then, Ying Qichao returned and was surprised to see Gu Honggang.
"Old Gu, what brings you here? Come in and sit down." Then he led him to his house.
Ying Qichao has been busy with a very important case study project at the hospital recently and hasn't been home much. He heard that Gu Yan's younger brother had come, but he had only heard about it and hadn't had a chance to see him yet.
He finally had some free time and originally planned to come and visit, but he was quite surprised to see Gu Honggang instead.
The two were old friends, and they naturally exchanged a few pleasantries when they met.
Upon learning that he had come for his youngest son, Ying Qichao's expression became somewhat strange.
Seeing this, Gu Honggang had a bad feeling.
"Did that brat cause trouble here? He wasn't happy with the girl his mother introduced him to, so he ran away in a huff. We searched for him for a long time before we found out he was heading towards Chuncheng, so we came looking for him right away."
Ying Qichao's smile faded slightly as he said, "Old Gu, you really treat your youngest son very well."
Gu Honggang sighed, "He's my own son, I can't just ignore him."
"Is Gu Yan your biological son?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Honggang's expression changed, and Cao Lijuan beside him also slightly changed her expression.
"Old Gu, I'm not trying to be mean, but everyone knows you and Su Yan don't get along very well. But you were husband and wife after all, and you were the one who said you wanted to marry her first. Do you know how many people are laughing at you behind your back for doing this?"
Gu Honggang's face was very unpleasant. He said, "Qichao, are you going to help those people teach me a lesson too?"
"I've helped those people teach you a lesson. It seems quite a few people have tried to teach you a lesson. With so many people teaching you a lesson, don't you realize where you went wrong?"
The two were just friends, with an equal relationship. Now, being lectured like this by his friend, Gu Honggang's face was extremely ugly.
Ying Qichao naturally knew that what he said was somewhat disrespectful to the other party, especially in front of Cao Lijuan, but so what?
If you dare to do something, why be afraid of what others will say?
The two parted on bad terms.
Zhao Shuyi had been observing the situation, and when she saw that the two of them left after sitting for a short while, she was a little surprised. She quietly asked Gu Yan what was going on, but Gu Yan naturally said he didn't know.
"Don't be upset, I'll tell you a little secret."
Gu Yan was clearly still angry, and his mind was elsewhere; he seemed distracted. The influence of his parents on him was obviously enormous.
Zhao Shuyi felt sorry for him, but she didn't have any way to solve his troubles. His problem probably lay with his mother, but the worst part was that his mother had passed away, and many regrets had become lifelong regrets. It wasn't something she could resolve with just a few words.
Furthermore, Zhao Shuyi sometimes felt that people have the right to hate. Gu Yan is not a particularly vengeful person. The reason he is so vengeful now is because his father and the others have gone too far.
No matter what Gu Yan chooses to do, she will stand by his side without hesitation.
Do you know who your brother's girlfriend is?
Gu Yan then realized what was happening.
"Where did he get a girlfriend? He's not asking you to help him lie to his parents, is he?"
Zhao Shuyi was shocked. How did he know that?
"He only ever uses the same tricks over and over again. Only you still indulge his nonsense. Just let him go back with his parents."
"But I think their parenting methods are really problematic. Gu Chao has come all the way here, which means he really can't stand his parents' pressure anymore. I'll have someone introduce him to someone and see if there's anyone suitable. If there is, I'll introduce him to a potential partner."
Gu Yan somewhat disagreed with Zhao Shuyi's approach. He felt that Gu Chao was unreliable, and his parents were unreliable as well. He didn't want to introduce someone to someone and cause them to become enemies.
Zhao Shuyi said, "I'm just taking a look. If it doesn't work out, I definitely won't force it. What if there's a suitable one?" She actually already had a plan in mind, but she didn't tell Gu Yan until she was sure.
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you can find someone, then help him find someone. It would be fine if the couple could squeeze in. But you need to carefully consider this person. Don't let me find out that you've ruined someone else's girl."
“I will definitely find him a suitable one.”
At least the family will be quite fierce.
She thinks that someone with Gu Chao's qualifications should be easy to find, right?
The main reason is that she works at a hospital and has connections, so she can try to help.
However, Zhao Shuyi couldn't think of anyone to choose from right away. "I have to ask around first. If I find someone, I'll introduce them to Gu Chao. If not, finding someone fierce to help with the acting isn't out of the question."
To Zhao Shuyi's surprise, he met a suitable candidate at the hospital entrance early the next morning.
"Dr. Zhao, what a coincidence."
Zhao Shuyi never expected that she would see Lin Yu at the entrance of the military hospital.
"Teacher Lin, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Yu's eyes flickered, and when she met Zhao Shuyi's concerned gaze, she still told her about her illness.
It's a woman's gynecological problem, so it doesn't matter who you see anyway.
The things that had happened to her in the family compound had already made her lose face there. Even if Zhao Shuyi revealed her physical condition, it wouldn't affect her much. After all, she was far away from the emperor, and those people couldn't talk about it to her face. Besides, she didn't think Zhao Shuyi was that kind of person.
Zhao Shuyi was unaware of her thoughts, but she could tell that she was somewhat reluctant to discuss this kind of issue and did not want others to hear it, so she said, "Let's talk in my office then. I'll take your pulse and take a closer look at your health."
Lin Yu looked at her gratefully. After entering the office, Zhao Shuyi took her pulse and indeed found that the other person had some health problems.
Seeing Zhao Shuyi frown, Lin Yu's worry deepened. She asked, "Dr. Zhao, what's wrong with me? Just tell me."
"It's not a serious problem, but your issue is psychological, caused by stagnant liver qi and dampness descending to the lower body, leading to your current condition. Medication can help, but the most important thing is to regulate your own emotions. Can you tell me what happened to you?"
The other person's expression changed slightly, and Zhao Shuyi guessed, "Is it because of your previous divorce from Han Ming?"
Lin Yu hummed in agreement and said, "Pretty much. You know how powerful gossip can be. I don't want to care about what others think, but being talked about so much still gets a bit annoying."
Zhao Shuyi asked, "So, do you have a boyfriend?"
Lin Yu gave Zhao Shuyi a strange look, thinking that Zhao Shuyi shouldn't be such a clueless person as to pry into other people's privacy in front of them, but it wasn't something that couldn't be said. He shook his head.
Zhao Shuyi said, "How about I introduce you to someone?"
Lin Yu's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Zhao Shuyi to have this purpose. Just as she was about to refuse, Zhao Shuyi said, "Don't rush to refuse. Let me tell you about his situation."
Zhao Shuyi felt that Lin Yu's situation perfectly matched the conditions Gu Chao wanted, and that her family could suppress the Gu family, just as Lin Yu could suppress Gu Chao.
If the two of them can get together, it would be a perfect outcome. Anyway, Gu Chao only said that he wanted to be a kept man, so Lin Yu can definitely make him one, right?
He didn't say he couldn't have a divorced woman; if that didn't work out, they could pretend to be each other's parents.
Thinking about this, Zhao Shuyi felt that her idea might be a bit bad, but since she had already said half of what she wanted to say, she simply told the other party everything about Gu Chao's situation.
As Lin Yu listened, she seemed to be getting the gist of it. She said, "You mean you want me to pretend to be in a relationship with this person? Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
You could also consider it, since he's also running into some trouble right now. Maybe you could meet him; it might not be fake, and what if it's really a good match?
Lin Yu gritted her teeth, clenched her fists at her sides, and said, "Okay, please arrange it for me."
"Why don't you come to my house for lunch today? Gu Chao was injured and is currently recuperating at home."
Zhao Shuyi then told him about the other person's bad luck in running into bad people.
Lin Yu was stunned when she heard about Gu Chao's deeds; she never expected him to encounter such a thing.
She thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, if possible, it can be fake, but it might take a while for the other party to help me out."
Zhao Shuyi nodded: "I guarantee I'll make him keep this a secret for you, Teacher Lin, for at least a year."
The other person isn't too old, so even if they don't date for a year, it should be fine. If not, let him go back to his parents' house.
He even picked one; we definitely can't let him choose.
"Besides, my younger brother has never been married and is still young. If you bring such a partner back, people will definitely look at you with new respect. So even if you break up, you can blame him and it will be easier for you to find another partner."
Lin Yu had never imagined there was such a path. She pressed her forehead and said, "If I could, I would never want to get married again in this life. But what those people said was really offensive, and I don't want to affect my parents' reputation. Staying at home for too long isn't really good either, and my parents are worried about me."
She was clearly helpless.
Hearing her say that, Zhao Shuyi felt even more that she and Gu Chao were a good match, but he didn't say anything more, lest he say too much and it would seem as if he was trying to force them together.
When it comes to dating, being able to set someone up is enough. The specifics depend on how the two people get along. Matchmaking always carries risks. It's just that Zhao Shuyi happened to meet her; otherwise, Zhao Shuyi really couldn't think of anyone else who would be a good match.
The morning passed quickly. Lin Yu went out for a walk and when he returned to the hospital, he was carrying some canned goods and malted milk powder.
She took him back.
Before we even reached the entrance of the family compound, we saw the Gu couple again.
Zhao Shuyi lowered her voice and said to Lin Yu, "Those are Gu Chao's parents. I won't say for now that you two are dating. Just treat them as my friends coming home for dinner."
Lin Yu nodded, "Okay."
Having been through a lot, she remained calm and composed.
"Dad, Aunt Cao," Zhao Shuyi greeted her. "This is my friend. She's coming home for dinner today."
Lin Yu also greeted them quietly, "Uncle and Auntie."
Her expression was indifferent, and the two of them didn't think much of it. They just felt that Zhao Shuyi had money to burn and was even inviting people home for dinner, which was really not the kind of woman who was thrifty and good at managing a household. But when they saw that she was carrying malted milk powder and canned food, they didn't say anything and followed her into the family compound.
Back home, Zhao Shuyi greeted Xia Mulan and then introduced Lin Yu to her.
Xia Mulan was a little confused, not knowing what Zhao Shuyi and the others were up to. But she always trusted Zhao Shuyi, so if Zhao Shuyi pretended that she and Lin Yu didn't know each other, then she would pretend that she didn't know them either, and greeted them politely.
"I'm going to check on Gu Chao. Dad, Aunt Cao, please don't go in yet. Lin Yu, come and help me."
Lin Yu said "Oh," and quickly went to wash her hands with Zhao Shuyi before going inside to help. The couple then assumed that Lin Yu was a doctor or nurse at the hospital and didn't think much of it, so they didn't rush inside.
Upon entering the room, Gu Chao was still looking at the paintings that Zhao Shuyi and the others had drawn. They were for children, but they were actually quite interesting.
Gu Chao has been passing the time with this for the past two days.
"sister in law."
He looked up and saw Zhao Shuyi, so he quickly greeted her. Then his gaze fell on Lin Yu next to Zhao Shuyi. Their eyes met, and they both looked away for a moment, both guessing each other's identities.
Because of the time constraints, Zhao Shuyi kept it brief.
"This is the person I introduced to you. I've explained your situation to her. Listen to her conditions and see if they're acceptable. You can try being friends first, not necessarily dating. After you get to know each other, if you want to date, you can talk about it after your parents leave. What do you think?"
After saying that, she added, "You guys talk amongst yourselves, I didn't hear anything." She then ran to the side and turned her back to them.
Their attempt to cover it up only made them speechless, but it did reduce their shyness and nervousness.
Lin Yu was already married, so she quickly told Gu Chao about her circumstances, including her age, family situation, job, and that she had been married before.
“Your sister-in-law said you want to take care of the family and don’t want to go out to work, and I can completely meet that requirement for you. I don’t ask for much, I only ask that you be loyal and help me deal with my family and those people who have ill intentions and want to see the show. That’s enough.”
"As for whether we should continue living together, we can talk about that after we get to know each other better. But if you want me to help you deal with your parents, you'll have to help me deal with them for at least a year after that."
"But don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you. You just need to play the role of my boyfriend well."
Just then, Cao Lijuan's voice came from outside: "Why hasn't he come out yet? Could something have happened to Xiao Chao?"
Gu Chao frowned subconsciously, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I agree. It'll be for a year. We'll pretend to be a couple for a year. If it works out, we'll get married; if not, we'll part ways peacefully."
Judging from his anxious look, you can tell how afraid he is of his parents.
Lin Yu almost laughed, "Don't worry, my parents are very easy to get along with, and they give us a lot of freedom."
"If we really get together, we can move to our own family compound. I won't interfere with your freedom to do what you want, as long as you don't mess around outside."
"Of course not, I'm a good person," Gu Chao said earnestly.
Although Zhao Shuyi had her back to the two men, she heard everything they said.
Is that all?
"Then it's settled. Don't tell them for now that Teacher Lin is your boyfriend. Let them worry a bit longer, and we'll talk about it later. Teacher Lin, you should also go home and tell your parents today. Just wait for them to come and visit."
Lin Yu was a straightforward person; she nodded, gave her home address, and then the two of them went out.
As soon as she stepped outside, Gu Honggang and Cao Lijuan surrounded her: "How is it, Gu Yan's wife? Is Xiao Chao alright?"
"There's nothing wrong. We checked his wound carefully, and it'll be fine after some rest. You can go in and take a look; we'll go cook now."
Zhao Shuyi led Lin Yu into the kitchen to cook.
Xia Mulan remained in her room with the child, avoiding contact with the two men.
Soon, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen, even surprising the Gu couple, who hadn't expected Zhao Shuyi to be able to cook such fragrant food.
Later, when they saw that Zhao Shuyi had specially prepared different, lighter dishes for Gu Chao, their expressions improved considerably. Even though it was specially prepared for them, they still felt that Zhao Shuyi was sensible.
Even so, she still felt disdain for Zhao Shuyi in her heart. Although she expressed disrespect for them as elders in her words, she still tried to please them in her actions. She was probably worried about what Gu Yan and outsiders would think, so she was just putting on an act.
Gu Honggang really wanted to mock Zhao Shuyi, but after discussing it with Cao Lijuan yesterday, he remembered Zhao Shuyi's identity and ultimately decided against it.
Even though Zhao Shuyi's grandparents were no longer alive, who knew if her family had any connections? Since she had already married Gu Yan, they had no reason to make things difficult for her, so they kept quiet in the end.
After all, Gu Yan is not the same person he used to be, and his younger brother might need Gu Yan's help.
However, thinking of this, Gu Honggang recalled the time when he asked Gu Yan to bring his younger brother into the army, but Gu Yan refused, and he felt a little uneasy again.
So, he didn't look too good during the meal, but his bad mood didn't stop him from eating heartily. Zhao Shuyi's cooking skills were truly superb. Lin Yu also ate with relish and couldn't help but praise Zhao Shuyi: "Dr. Zhao, your cooking skills are really good."
Zhao Shuyi said with a smile, "If you like, you can come to my house often."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, you said it yourself."
"Of course, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, what's the big deal?"
Hearing this, the couple had another thought. They had assumed Zhao Shuyi had made it especially for them as an apology for their mistreatment yesterday. They hadn't expected it to be just an extra pair of chopsticks, which they found incredibly insulting. Zhao Shuyi, however, had no idea of their thoughts. Even if he did, he wouldn't care. What a jerk! They expected him to take special care of them.
After finishing his meal, Zhao Shuyi had to go to work at the hospital. Xia Mulan was left at home with the child, and he was a little worried and felt guilty towards her. He said, "Sister Mulan, if you're not comfortable here, you don't have to come for the next few days. I'll take the child to the hospital."
Xia Mulan: "It doesn't matter. As long as I don't care, there's absolutely no problem."
Seeing their situation, Lin Yu said, "Anyway, I'm free this afternoon, so why don't I stay here and keep Sister Xia company?"
Zhao Shuyi looked at him and said, "Wouldn't that be inconvenient?" He didn't know if the other party wanted to get to know Gu Chao better, but if the other party wanted to stay, Zhao Shuyi had no reason to stop him.
Lin Yu said, "It's okay. I really like children anyway. I can help Sister Xia look after the kids and chat with her. Will Sister Xia be bothering you?"
Xia Mulan quickly shook her head: "Of course not."
Although the two of them hadn't spoken much in the family compound before, they were acquaintances who nodded to each other when they met, and they knew each other's situation, so it wasn't that they couldn't chat together.
Since they all thought it was okay, Zhao Shuyi went to work without worry.
The couple were talking in the room, and their voices gradually grew louder: "Gu Chao, I think you're asking for a beating. If you don't tell me that woman's name, believe me, I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed!"
Gu Chao said, "I can't even get out of bed in the first place. If you're so capable, then hit me. Just kill me!"
"All you do all day is arrange things for me. You arrange everything for me, even which wife I should marry."
"Are you doing this for me? You're clearly just doing it for yourselves. Aren't you just looking for someone who can help Dad with his job?"
And you even said he was a good match for me! You're all just thinking about your own interests! If you had treated me any better, would I be in this situation now?
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "slap," clearly indicating that he had been slapped. Lin Yu immediately got up and rushed over.
