Now Gu Aiguo hears this voice everywhere he goes, and soon his superiors called him in for a talk.
"Patriotism! Look at the mess you've made, there's nothing I can do to help you. The higher-ups are going to dismiss you and investigate you."
Gu Aiguo knew that all of this was his son's doing. He didn't say anything else, only nodded dejectedly.
Soon, Murong Cheng was also reported for having illicit relationships with women.
He also submitted substantial evidence, including photos of him kissing Chen Shuling.
It was taken by Gu Huanian who borrowed a camera from someone and waited around to take the picture.
Even if his father was a former high-ranking official, he couldn't help him with this concrete evidence.
Chen Shuling was also arrested at the same time; she was hiding at home that day.
There was a knock at the door. She thought it was Gu Aiguo returning, but when she opened the door, she saw Murong Cheng's wife.
Knowing that she had come with ill intentions, she was about to close the door again when the woman pushed it open forcefully.
After Murong Cheng's wife came in, without saying a word, she slapped her twice across the face; "You slut, I treated you like family, but you seduced my husband. He's been arrested now, and you're not getting away either."
Feeling indignant, she used her long fingernails to scratch Chen Shuling's face.
It's all because of that seductive face of hers; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to bewitch her man so completely.
At first, Chen Shuling didn't realize what was happening and fell into her trap. But when she saw that she was relentless, she immediately started to fight back.
"You shameless slut, you seduced my husband! How can you be so shameless? Not only did you seduce your own brother-in-law, but you also flirt with men everywhere. Today, I'll scratch your face until it's bruised and battered, and see if you dare to flirt with anyone again."
Chen Shuling retorted, "You old woman, Acheng just doesn't like you. Has he not touched you in the past six months? He told me that your sallow complexion and stretch marks all over your stomach make him feel nauseous just looking at you."
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
When the people in red armbands arrived, they saw two women fighting fiercely.
After pulling the people apart, the middle-aged man with the red armband looked at Chen Shuling and said, "Someone reported that you were having an affair with Murong Cheng. Come with us."
Even if Chen Shuling is stupid, she would know that if she followed the Red Armband, she would suffer greatly.
"Are you mistaken? I have absolutely no connection with Murong Cheng."
The leader of the red armbands didn't stand on ceremony with her and said to the two people behind him, "You two take him away."
Chen Shuling refused to leave, saying, "Why are you arresting me? Even if you say I'm having affairs, you need evidence! Why should I be sentenced just because you say something?"
The man pulled out two photos and threw them at her face; "Look at yourself, they're hugging and kissing, and you're still pretending to be stupid?"
Chen Shuling picked up the photo, her eyes filled with disbelief. Who took this? But she quickly realized, "He forced me. I didn't want anything to happen with him. He threatened me."
The middle-aged man with the red armband narrowed his eyes slightly; "Are you telling the truth?"
“What she said is true. I know about this. It was indeed Murong Cheng who forced her.” Gu Aiguo listened outside for a while, and seeing these people about to take Chen Shuling away, he still couldn’t bear it.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Aiguo and said, "Can you take responsibility for your words? How do you know she forced you?"
Gu Aiguo said, "She told me at the time that Murong Cheng was threatening her with my future. If she didn't agree, Murong Cheng would force her. Later, he even threatened her reputation to make her submit."
Murong Cheng's wife looked at the two of them, wanting to shift the blame onto her husband. She was so angry that she wanted to strangle Chen Shuling. "Boss, they're family. Gu Aiguo is lying. This woman deliberately seduced my husband. No one forced her. She's lying. Just now she even told me that being with my husband was something she did on purpose."
Gu Huanian watched all this from the courtyard gate, a mocking smile playing on his lips; so his father was also capable of abusing his power for personal gain!
The middle-aged man with the red armband gave Gu Aiguo a deep look.
He turned and left with his men.
"Hey, don't go! Take this woman with you too, she's deliberately seducing my man."
But those people didn't listen and just left.
Enraged, she pointed at Gu Aiguo and yelled, "Are you even a man? This kind of woman is sleeping with someone else, you're being cuckolded, and you're still defending her? Are you sick in the head?"
Gu Aiguo pointed to the door and said, "Get out."
The woman was furious, but she had no choice but to turn around and leave.
The onlookers outside the courtyard dispersed.
Gu Aiguo closed the gate to Jiang's courtyard. Chen Shuling tried to take his arm to explain, but the man dodged her.
"Old Gu, I... I was just confused for a moment. I promise I won't do anything stupid again. Let's live a good life together, okay?"
Gu Aiguo didn't speak; he really wasn't in the mood to listen to what she was saying.
He walked into the room and locked the door from the inside.
Gu Huanian is still searching for evidence that Chen Shuling harmed someone.
Northeast, Lijiatun
The weather was getting a little warmer, so the three of them went to town together that day. They were wearing white village shirts that Su Li had prepared for them, paired with black pants.
A white shirt tucked into black trousers makes a person look energetic and beautiful.
The visual impact is especially strong when three people wear it at the same time.
As soon as the three of them got into the oxcart, the women on board started asking questions: "Wow, you're all dressed so smartly! I see that each embroidered flower on your clothes is different, quite unique. Did you buy these at the supply and marketing cooperative? I don't think I've seen them for sale here."
