The police station was in chaos.
Mother Chen was rushed to the hospital by the police. When she woke up, Su Niannian was no longer by her side. Mother Chen immediately went to find Jin Chuan. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Jin, do you know... do you know that Niannian is still pregnant..."
Just saying this made Chen's mother feel heartbroken.
Jin Chuan, who was lying on the hospital bed, froze in his tracks. He pushed his glasses up with his bony hands and said with a smile, "Aunt, are you trying to add more guilt to Chen Niannian by saying this?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you think that child is mine?!"
"Jin Chuan! Don't go too far! When I handed Nian Nian over to your Jin family, she was an innocent and well-behaved girl. Don't slander me!"
"Then go and investigate! See how many dirty things your precious daughter has done. Do you dare to investigate? The family members of the deceased would like to skin her alive. If I were you, I would quickly take her ashes and hide them far away..." Jin Chuan frowned, seemingly giving a normal suggestion.
But the tone of voice almost made Chen's mother spit out blood. She realized that this man and her daughter had been at odds for a long time, no wonder he was willing to kill her. For a moment, Chen's mother only resented her own weakness. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. I'm waiting to see the day when your Jin family will be in trouble!"
The family card failed, and Chen's mother slammed the door and left in anger.
Jin Chuan curled his lips, just feeling funny, what a thing?! She was also worthy of having his child, dreaming of a lifetime!
…
Imperial capital, Gao family.
In the quaint courtyard, Gao Shanyue was lying on a wooden chair under a tree, with a cattail leaf fan covering most of her face. She felt indescribably comfortable, as if the howling not far away had no effect on her at all.
Unlike her, Gao Jianshe stood not far away. His cane was about to break, and his back was covered with blood. The old but strong head of the family leaned on a cane and asked with a sullen face, "Whose child is that? Will you tell me or not?"
Gao Jianshe almost vomited blood: "Grandpa! Even if you beat me to death, I won't know it!"
"Gao Shanyue--!" the old man roared angrily.
Gao Shanyue opened the palm-leaf fan on her face and said quietly, "It's not Gao Jianshe's anyway."
"..."
Gao Shanyue has been the most resilient among the younger generation since she was young. Many investigations into her affairs in Ning County have yielded no results. The child in her belly seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Grandpa Gao retired last year. He was happy that his granddaughter finally came to her senses and was willing to go home, but the next second he learned that she was pregnant. He was so angry that he almost went to the hospital.
What made people even more furious was that the father was unknown. Grandpa Gao gave his granddaughter a look and said coldly: "The Imperial Capital Art Troupe has already made arrangements. Get rid of the bastard in your belly and pretend that this incident never happened."
Gao Shanyue tilted her head and looked at him, "You might as well just beat me to death!"
"Do you think I don't dare--!" The old man raised his cane high, and Gao Shanyue did not dodge but went straight to meet him.
Both of them were desperate, and in the end, it was the injured Gao Jianshe who took the brunt of everything. He hugged his cousin and scolded her in a low voice: "Can't you say less!"
"If he's angry, he must explode!" Gao Shanyue rolled his eyes.
When the others saw the old man so angry, they rushed up and pretended to stop him. Most of them were from the next generation of the concubine's family. Gao Shanyue was the only descendant of the Gao family's sons, otherwise they would not treasure her so much. But the only one who was sincere to Gao Shanyue was probably Gao Jianshe who was willing to risk his life for her. As for the others, most of them wanted the old man to beat Gao Shanyue to death so that they could reap the benefits.
Seeing the old man's cane whipping Gao Jianshe's shoulders like it had eyes, Gao Shanyue's heart skipped a beat. He found the right angle, grabbed the cane, and said viciously, "Old man! Are you done yet? I'm so annoyed!"
Her sudden movement of raising her hand made Mr. Gao stunned on the spot. Soon, Gao Shanyue followed his gaze upwards and landed on her wrist.
Oops!
After being so vain last night, I forgot to take off the bracelet Wang Guifen gave me!
This thing is now her only connection with the Su family. Gao Shanyue reflexively let go of her hand and hid the thing in her sleeve. As soon as she put her hands behind her back, she saw her grandmother, who was always very Buddhist, running over and grabbing her hand, muttering: "This... this bracelet..."
"Just wear it casually to cover up the scars." Gao Shanyue smiled indifferently. Because she was ignorant in the past, her wrists were covered with knife wounds, which were shocking.
But Grandma Gao's attention was obviously not on her wound at the moment, "This bracelet, isn't it ours?!"
For an instant, Gao Shanyue felt his heart tighten.
She gritted her teeth and said, "This is a relic he left for me—!"
Grandma Gao raised her eyes, tears in them. She turned around and glared at her husband. Old Master Gao, who had spent his entire life in the military, was unusually silent. He and his old wife stared at each other from a distance. After a while, he cleared his throat and said in an indescribably strange manner, "Since that person has passed away, the one in your belly is the Gao family's seed, so it can stay."
"..."
Gao Shanyue curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm.
The next second, Mr. Gao suddenly changed his tone: "But you know what it means to stay in the imperial capital? The entire Gao family is counting on you in the future. As the person in charge of the Gao family, you can't leave any handle. Go, let your third uncle take you through the desensitization training. Whether you can survive or not is your fate."
As if she knew this would happen, Gao Shanyue raised her eyebrows and walked towards the small dark room with ease. Unlike her previous disgust, this time she held hope and the strength that Su Jianshan brought her!
…
After hiding from Chen's mother three or two times in a row, Su Niannian decisively focused her life on work. Gao Shanyue's departure was not the end, but a new beginning. The other party wrote to her every week to inform her of her current situation in the imperial capital. After leaving Su Niannian, she was not the only one who was not used to it.
Time passed extremely fulfillingly. In just two months, Su Niannian successfully gained a foothold in the choreography team with the Fenghe dance that was popular in the provincial capital. She became the acting captain and obtained a place in the choreography team's expansion. Chen Luo naturally became the deputy captain and her right-hand man.
The limelight was unparalleled at the time.
During this period, Wang Guifen almost laughed her face off just at the enamel basins, teacups, kettles, towels, etc. that Su Niannian brought back from the art troupe. She had been pointed at and scolded for being poor in Xiangyang Village for her entire life, but now that she was old, she didn't expect that she could still enjoy the blessing of grandchildren.
weekend.
Wang Guifen held the thermos that had just been distributed by the group and said happily, "My Nian Nian is so filial. She always says that we have enough thermos at home, but she keeps taking more! This one is for washing face, that one is for boiling water, and the rest can be used for my Fubao's foot washing water, hahahaha..."
Huang Juan, who was carrying a basket next to her, shuddered, "Aunt! Too much! Too much!"
"Oh! I was just kidding..." Wang Guifen grinned and said with a smile: "This is not enough! Hey, Nianbao, where are you and your brother going?!"
Wang Guifen was just feeling happy when she saw the brother and sister walking outside carrying bags.
Su Niannian stopped and looked at Fubao in Wang Guifen's arms. She pinched his tender little face and said, "There are a lot of supplies at home. I'll take some to my cousin and see how she is doing. "
"What's there to be accustomed to? She's just a lazy bastard..."
Wang Guifen's smile faded a little, but no matter what, she was happy that her granddaughter found a way to let Zhaodi and her husband stay in Ning County. This was better than digging in the ground, at least food and accommodation were provided. As for other things, she really didn't care.
Miners! With your head tied to your belt, it's not a job that respectable people are willing to do. Wang Wei has a lot of strength, so he just goes ahead and does it!
The old lady watched the brother and sister walk away.
Little did he know that this trip would also involve his eldest grandson...
