At this moment, Lin Guoping appeared out of nowhere and the phone rang. Gu Yanting hurried to answer the call.
Lin Guoping, who had just been transferred, was still a little uncomfortable when he was picked up. He was stunned for a moment and asked:
"I want to look for Gu Yanting. Is he at home?"
Gu Yanting replied:
"Guoping, it's me. You called at the right time!"
Lin Guoping was confused and said:
"Just in time, is there any progress on my dad's side?"
Gu Yanting realized that he had let something slip, so he said:
"Ah, yes, yes, there is progress. Mr. Peng replied this morning. I wanted to call you, but something else got in the way and I forgot!"
"The documents should be available in the next few days, and Uncle Lin will be able to return soon. I'll call Manman later to tell her what's going on, and ask her to go back and tell you guys!"
Lin Guoping thought that Gu Yanting had something to do, so he didn't ask anything and agreed:
"Okay, I feel relieved now. So when are you going to return to the team?"
Gu Yanting thought for a moment and said:
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it takes two days for me to take the train here, so go back early and don't delay work!"
Lin Guoping agreed:
"Then I'll arrive one day later than you, so we'll arrive at about the same time!"
While the two were talking on the phone, Li Xiaolian was rushing to do the cleaning work for Aunt Li while listening to what Gu Yanting was saying on the phone!
She didn't hear anything else important, but when Gu Yanting said he would leave the day after tomorrow, Li Xiaolian heard it clearly!
Li Xiaolian was working but she was extremely anxious. She was afraid that once Gu Yanting went back, he would not come home for another 2-3 years. How could she afford to wait like that?
What should she do? She originally thought that she would slowly build some emotional foundation with Gu Yanting, and then tell him about her situation to win his sympathy!
As long as Gu Yanting shows any sign of being interested in her, she will be able to hold on to Gu Yanting firmly!
But there is not enough time now. She doesn’t have time to develop feelings with Gu Yanting. How can she make Gu Yanting have sympathy for her?
Li Xiaolian thought anxiously that she had her reasons for marrying into the Gu family. If she didn't marry Gu Yanting, Sister Li would use her in exchange for a dowry!
Li Xiaolian felt that if this didn't work, she had to resort to the worst possible strategy and try to drug Gu Yanting!
She had asked Sister Li to teach her how to make the medicine as soon as Gu Yanting came back. All she had to do was find a chance to put it into Gu Yanting's food or water!
But, if that's the case, Gu Yanting won't have any feelings for her at all!
Li Xiaolian understood that in such a family, without the love of her husband and her mother-in-law who didn't like her, she would not be able to live a happy life!
Therefore, Li Xiaolian still wanted to tell Gu Yanting about her situation, even if it was just to make Gu Yanting sympathize with her first!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaolian hid in the corner and pinched her arm many times, until her tears came out and her arm was covered with bruises. Only then did Li Xiaolian stop!
After pinching herself, Li Xiaolian endured the pain and moved closer to Gu Yanting. As soon as she got to Gu Yanting, Li Xiaolian pretended to knock her head off the table and cried out "Ouch" loudly!
Gu Yanting heard her "Ouch", and at the same time, he also saw her rolling eyes, so Gu Yanting was too lazy to cooperate with her in acting, and simply ignored her and pretended not to see it!
Seeing that Gu Yanting didn't come over to ask her "what's wrong", Li Xiaolian had to take the initiative and asked Gu Yanting carefully:
"Brother Gu, I feel a little pain from the knock. It seems my arm is injured. Can you help me find some safflower oil?"
As she spoke, Li Xiaolian squeezed out two tears, looking so pitiful!
Before Gu Yanting could reply, Aunt Li, who had been told by Gu's mother to be on guard against Li Xiaolian, said hurriedly:
"Xiao Lian, did you bump your arm? Oh, I told you not to do it, but you still insisted on showing off. How would Yan Ting know where the safflower oil is? Come, follow me, there is safflower oil in my room!"
After saying that, Aunt Li ignored Li Xiaolian's struggle and pulled Li Xiaolian into the house!
After entering the room, Aunt Li rolled up Li Xiaolian's sleeves without saying a word and applied medicine to her. Aunt Li turned a blind eye to the bruises and purple marks on Li Xiaolian's arms!
It's obvious that she was pinched. No matter whether it was her parents or she did it herself, it's none of her business!
When parents pinch their children, it's to discipline them. As an outsider, why is she giving random opinions? Isn't that just meddling?
If she had pinched herself, she would not be able to make it public, which was obviously in the wrong for Gu Yanting!
Aunt Li has been taking care of Grandpa Gu for twenty years. It can be said that Gu Yanting grew up in her eyes. If not like her own son, then he is almost like her own nephew!
Aunt Li was extremely unhappy that such an outstanding child was targeted by such a scheming girl!
Moreover, when this girl came, she took over her work and wiped the tables, cabinets and floors again and again. What's the matter? Is this to tell Grandpa Gu's family that she didn't do her job well and didn't clean up properly?
Aunt Li is even more annoyed with Li Xiaolian than Zhang Yueying. Although Zhang Yueying is a little arrogant, she wouldn't dare to do that in Grandpa Gu's house. Although she is ordered around occasionally, Aunt Li doesn't mind it too much!
But Li Xiaolian is different. Not only does she steal his job, but she also looks like she is being bullied all day long!
This is because the Gu family understands her, otherwise what would the Gu family think of her, bullying guests?
Seeing that Aunt Li turned a blind eye to her pinch marks, Li Xiaolian deliberately cried out "Ouch" loudly, wanting Aunt Li to ask her what happened to her arm. She then played the victim and had a nice talk with Aunt Li, asking her to help tell Gu Yanting and the Gu family!
When Aunt Li heard her cry, she still ignored the pinch marks on her arm and just apologized:
"Xiao Lian, Auntie Li must have hurt you by rubbing your hands. Auntie Li, please be gentler!"
Li Xiaolian was just about to take this opportunity to explain the bruises on her arms when she heard Aunt Li asking and answering herself:
"Xiao Lian, you hit your arm, so don't work hard at the Gu family anymore. You have to take good care of your injured arm, otherwise you might not be able to do anything in the future and become disabled!"
Li Xiaolian was so angry at what Aunt Li said that she yelled in her heart, "You are the disabled one, your whole family is disabled, she is not, she is just pretending!"
Aunt Li didn't care whether Li Xiaolian replied or not, she answered herself:
"Yeah, you have to go home and recuperate. Don't come this week. No, no, no, not a week. It will take at least a month. It won't work. It will take a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. My arm must be more serious. It will take at least half a year!"
"Xiao Lian, please don't come here for the next six months, otherwise the Gu family and I will be worried!"
Li Xiaolian was about to say no, but Aunt Li continued:
"What, you want to go home now?"
"Okay then. Yan Ting is still busy here. I'm free now. I'll take you back. You've helped me with so much work since you came here. I have to take care of you!"
