Chapter 42 Whose Home

"You are just a helper, but you are acting like the master. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought this was your home. You kicked us out without even asking. If Gu Xiyue comes back and proves that we are indeed his family, can you bear the responsibility?"

Sun's mother was speechless after being asked by her. She looked at Sun Meixiang at a loss, "Ah Xiang, this..."

Sun Meixiang bit her lip. She didn't believe the woman in front of her at all. What did she mean by "she is Gu Xiyue's wife"? Gu Xiyue obviously didn't have a wife! Even if he did, he never mentioned it. What did this prove? It proved that even if she was Gu Xiyue's wife, Gu Xiyue didn't care about her at all.

Otherwise, why did he ask for his mother and nephew to be picked up when he left, and didn't mention anything about this woman at all?

This woman must be a liar!!

"Aunt, don't be fooled by her. Brother Gu never said he had a wife. They just wanted to take advantage of Brother Gu's absence to get some free food and drinks. They asked us to go ask, but Brother Gu is gone, where can we go? They are really good at taking advantage of loopholes. They think we are easy to bully, right? Are you going to leave or not? If not, I will do it."

She walked in and tried to get a broom to chase them away. Sun's mother said in embarrassment, "Why don't you just leave? The owner of the house is not here, and we dare not let you in on our own initiative. If you have anything to say, wait until the owner comes back."

After saying this, she was afraid that Sun Meixiang would really cause trouble, so she quickly closed the door.

Qin Yuezhi glanced at Zhou Nuan, whose face had sunk, and asked carefully, "Xiao Nuan, what should we do now?"

What to do? Who knew that it was such a coincidence that she just missed Gu Xiyue. She didn't know the address of Gu Xiyue's work, otherwise she could go find He Tao. Now...

"It's okay. Isn't Gu Xiyue coming back in a few days? Let's find a place to stay first and wait for Gu Xiyue to come back."

After a night of running around, even she, a young person, was a little exhausted, not to mention the elderly and children of Qin Yuezhi's age.

Zhou Nuan was in a bad mood, and Xiaoxi in her arms probably felt it. She let out two "ahhh" sounds and looked at the tightly closed door with her big round eyes.

"Oh...Xiaoxi wants to go in? It's okay, mom will take you home soon."

Zhou Nuan's eyes were cold and sharp. "When the time comes, let this Sun Meixiang see whose home this is."

They had no choice but to go back the same way. Just as they went downstairs, they met the kind woman who had shown them the way. The woman was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a pretty face. It seemed that she was also a beauty when she was young.

Seeing them coming down from above, the woman was a little surprised, "Why did the elder sister come down? Didn't you find anyone?"

"Yes, it just so happens that my husband is not in Haicheng, and his family's helpers think we are scammers and won't let us in."

The woman understood everything. "It's my fault for not reminding you. The niece of Grandma Sun from Room 402 is here today. She has also stayed here for a while before. She is so arrogant that people who don't know her would think she is the mistress of this house. She has a bad character and is difficult to deal with."

He looked at them again, carrying their children and bags, and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Zhou Nuan said, "Let's find a hotel to stay in first and wait for my guy to come back."

"Well, you want to stay in a hotel? Do you have a permit?"

"What certificate?" Zhou Nuan was puzzled.

The woman whispered, "It's that certificate. If you don't have it, you can't stay in the hotel. You have to go and get it first."

Zhou Nuan understood that Haicheng really needed that certificate now. She didn’t know what would happen if she was caught without that certificate, but it would be troublesome anyway.

"Then I'll do it another day."

The woman waved her hand. "This certificate requires not only identification but also proof of the recipient. You can't get it if you don't know where you live."

Zhou Nuan was a little confused. This seemed quite different from the real Haicheng.

"That.."

Now they can't get a certificate, and without a certificate they can't stay in a hotel or rent a room. Even if she has money, it's useless. Is there really no other way?

Looking at the helpless Qin Yuezhi and the distressed Su Hang, Zhou Nuan felt for the first time that she was too rash. She should not have acted so arrogantly and planned to give Gu Xiyue a surprise. Instead, she should have informed him earlier so that he would not miss it and would not end up in this situation.

The woman also saw her embarrassment, thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, why don't you stay here with me for a few days and wait for your husband to come back."

Zhou Nuan was overjoyed, "Is it okay? I hope it won't disturb you?"

"No, I live alone. Even if the place is simple, we can still fit in if we squeeze in." The woman said, a little embarrassed.

"Thank you so much, sister."

The woman smiled and shook her head, then reached out to take the luggage from Xiao Su Hang's hand and led them inside.

"I'm Li Baijie, you can just call me Sister Li."

"Sister Li." Zhou Nuan followed suit and introduced herself, Qin Yuezhi and others.

After solving the current trouble, she felt much more relaxed. "Don't worry, we are not staying here for free. We will pay the price."

Li Baijie smiled bitterly and didn't respond.

The group soon arrived at where Li Baijie lived. It was just as Li Baijie said, the place was small and simple, and it was incomparable to the newly built community in front.

The small building was filled with people who came to Haicheng from all over the place in search of a way out. Most of them were women. They were dressed simply and it was obvious that they came from poor families. Well, if they were rich, how could they live in such a shabby building?

When they saw Li Baijie and them coming over, they quickly turned around and avoided them, as if they were afraid of getting involved in something.

Some people also mocked with hostility, "Hey, Li Baijie, this is someone from your hometown? Did you bring someone from your hometown here to make some quick money?"

"Sister Li, this is your relative, right? She looks really good, and is a good match..."

Li Baijie said with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just staying here for a few days."

Fearing that they would ask more questions, Li Baijie quickly took them back to the house and closed the door.

With the light coming in from the window, Zhou Nuan squinted her eyes and looked around the small house. The house was old, with posters on the peeling walls. There were two beds, a small wardrobe and an old table in the room, nothing else.

Li Baijie straightened the bed and said, "I have two beds here. They were originally occupied by another girl, but she has returned to her hometown. Now I am the only one living here. If you don't mind, you can squeeze in and stay here."

They were kind enough to take her in, so how could they say so much? Zhou Nuan said no. Qin Yuezhi had also been through hard times, so she wouldn't say anything.

"No, you've helped us so much, we can't thank you enough... By the way, Miss Li, where are you from? Why are you staying here alone? I see your children should be grown up at your age, right? Are they all in your hometown?"

Li Baijie's eyes were dim, and he lowered his head without saying a word.
