Chapter 68 Hidden Truth
Does this guy know what he's talking about?
Just having a meal together means we have to open a restaurant together?
It's a partnership, not just hiring a random cook. Is it because you have too much money at home?
Thinking of the 70% rent, Shen Jinan fell silent. He was indeed rich.
"You're joking. I have a family to support, so I'm afraid I can't work in your restaurant."
After careful consideration, Shen Jinan wanted to avoid making this person angry as much as possible.
Besides, this person might not be sincere. Maybe he just said it because he thought it was interesting.
Sure enough, Lady Hong curled her lips and looked a little unhappy, but she didn't mention it again.
Everyone has their own thoughts when eating a meal.
After dinner, Shen Jinan coaxed the two children to sleep, and Gu Yanqing just happened to come in from outside.
Thinking about the serious matter he wanted to tell her, Shen Jinan sat upright, his palms wet.
"What... do you want to say?"
He sat down next to Shen Jinan, pursed his lips, his eyes flickering, not knowing where to start.
After a moment's silence, he spoke with some difficulty, "Back in the capital, you abused the children all day long. At that time, I thought that one day I would divorce you and take revenge on you."
Whenever she thought of the harm Sui Sui Huanhuan suffered at her hands, Gu Yanqing gritted her teeth in hatred.
Shen Jinan's heart trembled. He didn't say how to retaliate, but he understood it, and the original Shen Jinan also understood it.
He said this wouldn't be...
"When you almost sold the child, I wanted you to die!" Shen Jinan still caught the murderous intent that flashed in Gu Yanqing's eyes.
I don’t know what he meant by this, but the more Shen Jinan listened, the calmer he became.
She inexplicably believed that Gu Yanqing would not hurt her.
Suddenly, a pair of warm big hands covered my hands.
Gu Yanqing didn't look away, but his eyes softened a lot. He held her hand as if he was holding some rare treasure.
"But later on, I saw how good you were to Sui Sui Huan Huan, and I felt that maybe that wasn't the real you before."
At this point, Gu Yanqing turned his head, looked at Shen Jinan seriously, and said word by word: "I believe you, I think we can start over, are you willing?"
Those cold eyes revealed endless affection, and Shen Jinan felt that he was drawn into it and immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
His hands at his sides unconsciously clenched, his eyelids trembled slightly, and his breathing quickened as he waited for her answer.
Now that someone like Gu Yanqing has spoken up, who would be unwilling?
Without letting him wait too long, Shen Jinan chuckled and gently covered his hand with it, his voice weak but clear: "Start over."
The marriage between two people may have been a coincidence at the beginning, and the process was full of twists and turns. From today on, all the past has become a cloud of smoke, and we should look forward.
The atmosphere suddenly became charming, and the two looked at each other quietly. There was no word at this moment, but it was better than a thousand words.
The moon is at its zenith, and I have no dreams all night.
The next morning, Li Ruqian knocked on the door carrying a basket of eggs.
"Dr. Shen, you saved Hu Zi's life. We have no way to repay you. These eggs are our token of appreciation. Please accept them." She handed the basket to Shen Jinan, her eyes full of gratitude.
The scene yesterday was so chaotic that she was so worried about Hu Zi's condition that she didn't even bother to thank Shen Jinan. That's why she made a special trip today: "Divine Doctor, we will pay the consultation fee. Just tell me the amount and I'll prepare it for you when I get back."
Everyone said Hu Zi was beyond saving, but Doctor Shen started treating him without hesitation and did not ask for any consultation fee.
Her eyes became sore just thinking about it. She would never forget this great favor!
But since the miracle doctor didn't mention it, they can't just forget about it.
"No need for the consultation fee, I'll take this basket of eggs." Unable to refuse, Shen Jinan accepted the basket of eggs.
After all, these are just some food, and accepting them won’t have much impact on their family.
Chenjia Village is exploited by landlords like Hongniangzi, so I guess everyone in it is not very rich.
The fact that Li Ruqian took out this basket of eggs and said these words already shows how much she values Hu Zi. He is a pretty good guy.
At least she was much better than those women who pointed at her and cursed her yesterday.
"Mother, is this Brother Huzi's mother?"
Huanhuan shook his little head and walked out of the house with a confused look on his face.
Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful little girl, even if she is the child of a corrupt official!
Li Ruqian squatted down and smiled at her: "I am Brother Hu Zi's mother. I came here today to thank you."
"Auntie." Huanhuan tilted her head, thought for a moment, and asked crisply, "Has the bad guy who hurt Brother Huzi been caught?"
Wasn’t Hu Zi’s falling into the water an accident?
Li Ruqian was furious, unable to contain her anger, but she suppressed her voice for fear of scaring the child: "You said Hu Zi's fall into the water was not an accident?"
She was extremely nervous about Hu Zi all day and all night. The child was frightened and very fragile. She didn't dare mention the incident of falling into the water in front of Hu Zi, and had no idea that there was another hidden story.
When she heard Huanhuan say this, her hands were shaking, her eyes were wide, and she wished she could catch that man and tear him into pieces.
"Yes, I heard my mother calling me and was about to go back. Someone pushed Brother Huzi from behind." Huanhuan patted his head, looking distressed, "But it was too dark, I couldn't see who it was."
She frowned and thought for a long time, then said uncertainly, "She smells good, so she must be a woman."
Woman? A light flashed in Shen Jinan's eyes.
She squatted down and asked softly, "Huanhuan, did she push you from behind?"
"Yes, mother, she even touched my braid."
Children don't lie, and they explained everything they remembered clearly.
"Has Madam Li ever offended any woman in the village?" Shen Jinan inquired, hoping that the answer was not what she guessed.
"No?" She usually seemed to be kind to others, and the villagers also took good care of her and Hu Zi. How could they hurt Hu Zi?
Thinking of something, Li Ruqian's eyes turned cold and her tone was cold: "There really is one!"
The main thing is to really think about it. The only thing she did wrong was that she mocked Shen Xitang and her son that day and did not lend them the ox cart.
Hearing this, Shen Jinan's eyes changed, and she had a guess in her heart.
If it was really done by that mother and daughter, perhaps Hu Zi suffered an unprovoked disaster.
Before she could think about it, Li Ruqian's voice rang out.
"That damn bitch actually dared to harm my Hu Zi! I must tear her mouth apart!" Li Ruqian looked at Shen Jinan apologetically and left angrily.
"Huanhuan, stay home and play with your brother. Don't go out casually."
She was worried that Huanhuan and Suisui might encounter some unexpected incident.
"Yes, Huanhuan will be obedient." As if to verify her words, Huanhuan ran into the house.
Fearing that Li Ruqian would suffer a hard time at the hands of the mother and daughter when they showed up without any evidence, Shen Jinan put the basket in the house and quickly chased after them.
