Chapter 270 You're Dead If You Dare to Lie to Me
Gu Suixing walked towards Xie Qingtang.
After chatting for a while, Xie Qingtang asked, "Is the renovation of the Garden Mansion finished?"
The garden mansion that Gu Suixing had taken Rui Rui to see earlier was recommended by Xie Qingtang. Such large mansions are not easy to buy now. That garden mansion belonged to one of Xie Qingtang's teachers, and the teacher's whole family was emigrating, so they were thinking of selling the mansion.
Gu Suixing: "The earliest would be next year."
The original scenery of the mansion was quite nice, but after all, it was a building from the last century. It was old and dilapidated. The abandoned lawn needed to be re-grown with soil and planted with flowers and greenery. The house needed to be renovated, the soft furnishings needed to be replaced, and the water, electricity and gas lines needed to be re-laid. It would take at least half a year to get it done.
Xie Qingtang looked at the little guy being ushered into the house and said helplessly, "You're doing well, you have a child and a wife, but I'm suffering."
Gu Suixing: "What, is Aunt urging me to get married?"
“It’s not just about pressuring me to get married,” Xie Qingxi said with a grin, standing on the balcony on the second floor of the villa. “My mom is directly pressuring me to have children.”
Xie Qingtang shrugged.
"Xie Qingxi, how many times have I told you not to lean on the balcony railing?"
Xie Chaokun followed the sound out of the villa and saw his youngest son hanging on the balcony railing. He immediately frowned.
Xie Qingxi retreated with a grin.
Xie Chaokun turned around and beckoned to Gu Suixing: "Suixing, come in and sit down."
Gu Suixing glanced at the time and did not refuse.
"Qingtang's second uncle and aunt are in class, and Qinglan recently joined a project team," Xie Chaokun said. "But she should be back tomorrow night for Ruirui's birthday party."
Xie Qingxi came downstairs and asked, "Brother Xing, is my sister really not going to acknowledge my third uncle anymore?"
Gu Suixing: "I'm still angry."
Xie Chaokun nodded, "The young lady has suffered a lot before, so it's normal for her to be angry."
"Grandpa and Grandma are still waiting at home for Uncle to bring my sister home. They've been waiting so long their necks have grown long." Xie Qingxi is young and speaks her mind. "This time, Rui Rui held a birthday party. The two elders waited for several days but did not receive an invitation. My grandma almost cried."
Rui Rui is the only son of his generation. Not to mention the Lu and Gu families, the Xie family also values him. Otherwise, Gu Zhenying wouldn't be urging his eldest son to get married.
Gu Suixing: "There's nothing I can do. He's incredibly stubborn."
However, it's less about being stubborn and more about being awkward.
The young lady doesn't not want a father, she's just being stubborn.
Gu Suixing had other things to do and didn't stay long.
Xie Qingtang and Xie Qingxi saw him off at the door.
Xie Qingtang said in a low voice, "I also asked Qinglan, and he can come out for two hours."
Xie Qingxi winked and asked, "Brother Xing, is everything ready on your end?"
"Of course." Gu Suixing patted his shoulder. "I'll buy you a car if things go well."
Xie Qingxi smiled and bowed exaggeratedly, making a "please" gesture. "President Gu, please take care."
After leaving Shuxiang Fenghuali, Gu Suixing drove directly to Huaixing Technology.
Assistant Fang was already waiting in the office.
Upon seeing Gu Suixing enter, Assistant Fang adjusted his glasses and said, "Good morning, Mr. Gu. Mr. Huo had two boxes of fireworks delivered and placed at the front desk."
Gu Suixing paused, "Aren't fireworks and firecrackers banned?"
Assistant Fang: "President Huo said we can put it in secretly."
Gu Suixing: "Should we 'sneak it out' in the square, or 'sneak it out' in bed?"
Assistant Fang raised his hand again to push up his glasses, using this to cover the curve of his lips.
Gu Suixing: "Throw it away."
Assistant Fang: "Yes."
Just then, Huo Huai'an walked in. "What are you throwing?"
Assistant Fang replied, "Those two boxes of fireworks you brought."
"..." Huo Huai'an looked at Gu Suixing, "I specially had someone make that, you really won't let it go?"
Gu Suixing didn't even look up. "I won't let go."
"Alright then." Huo Huai'an didn't try to persuade her any further, and instead brought up another matter, "Your third uncle and aunt really did sue Lu Yuhan."
Gu Suixing: "Suing for what?"
"Privacy offenses, insult offenses, dissemination of obscene materials... basically, they'll prosecute whatever is most serious, determined to put Lu Yuhan in jail." Huo Huai'an shrugged. "It's strange. Lu Yuhan's parents were busy finding a lawyer a few days ago, but they've suddenly quieted down these past two days... Could it be that they were threatened by your old man?"
Gu Suixing casually replied, "Who knows?"
In fact, Huo Huai'an was right.
Lu Yingliang and Wen Ying were indeed threatened by Gu Jinhong.
Just the night before last, Gu Jinhong had someone deliver a photo to Lu Yingliang and Wen Ying.
It was the photo of Lu Fengyang and Gu Jingdong that was taken without their consent.
Lu Fengyang doesn't come home often, and he's been away on business these days. After Lu Yuhan was discharged from the hospital, she was taken to the police station. When the photos were received, only the couple were at home.
The couple didn't sleep all night after seeing the photo, sitting on the sofa in the living room with bloodshot eyes.
Cigarette butts were scattered all around Lu Yingliang's feet.
“Feng Yang… how could this happen?”
Wen Ying couldn't believe it no matter what. How could her perfectly healthy son... be with a man?
Lu Yingliang said in a deep voice, "Feng Yang is coming back today, let's ask him first."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.
Lu Fengyang came in looking travel-worn. He glanced at his parents sitting on the sofa, then his eyes fell on the photos on the coffee table. He paused for a moment, then frowned.
Looking at his son, who had grown much taller than him without him even realizing it, Lu Yingliang asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"
Lu Fengyang glanced at the photo. "No."
Tears streamed down Wen Ying's swollen eyes again.
"The photos Gu Jinhong sent over have a very clear message: he wants us to choose between protecting you or protecting your sister." Lu Yingliang stared intently at his son. "What do you want us to do?"
"Whatever you want," Lu Fengyang said calmly, picked up the photo, and strode upstairs.
Wen Ying watched his figure disappear and broke down in tears.

As the city lights began to twinkle, Lu Fengqing had just parted ways with Secretary Liu when she received a call from Huo Huaisui.
"Niannian, where are you?"
Lu Fengqing: "Just came out of the venue."
Huo Huai Sui said "Oh", "I'm at Rizhao Square, do you want to come over? I'll treat you to milk tea."
Lu Fengqing thought that Rui Rui wasn't home, and she didn't know if her husband was finished with his work, so she simply accepted Huo Huai Sui's invitation.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Huai Sui turned to the man beside her and asked, "My fourth brother is really going to propose to Niannian, you're not lying to me?"
Xie Qinglan raised an eyebrow. "Why would I lie to you about something like this?"
Huo Huai Sui nodded, not forgetting to add a threat: "If you dare to lie to me, you're dead."
Xie Qinglan raised her hands in surrender, "I dare not."
