At first, Liu Guangqi was busy inquiring about Qin Huairu's whereabouts from the outside.
But as time went on, he noticed something strange: the way people in the compound looked at him started to become rather odd again.
After returning home that day, Liu Guangqi could no longer contain himself and immediately went to ask his second aunt for advice.
"Mom, has something happened at home lately? I feel like people in our compound are starting to talk about me again."
Liu Guangqi was very sensitive to the strange looks he received from others, and he immediately realized that these people were targeting him.
The second aunt was a bit slow to react, and besides, these people were avoiding her when they were talking about Liu Guangqi. So the second aunt didn't realize that anything had changed.
However, upon hearing her eldest son ask this question, the second aunt still perked up and replied.
"Probably not, or I'll go out and ask around tomorrow."
"However, you don't need to take it too seriously. These people don't say anything serious; they're probably just gossiping!"
The second aunt subconsciously comforted Liu Guangqi, telling him not to take the gossip to heart.
Liu Guangqi nodded.
"I understand. Try to find out about it when you have time tomorrow!"
Wu Yu was present when the two were talking. Since the Liu family's place was only so big, unless they were deliberately keeping it from Wu Yu, it was impossible for Wu Yu not to hear what they were saying.
Even Wu Yu, who overheard Liu Guangqi and his second aunt's conversation, didn't take it seriously.
At this point, Wu Yu had no idea that he was the one who said those words, because he had been so drunk by Liu Xu Damao that he had blacked out when he said them the day before yesterday.
When Liu Guangqi returned to his room, Wu Yu even urged him on.
"Liu Guangqi, is there any hope for my situation? If you don't get this done quickly, I'm telling you, I'm not waiting any longer!"
Wu Yu urged Liu Guangqi with a dark expression.
Liu Guangqi was getting impatient at this point. He was already very tired after running around all day.
As soon as he got home, Wu Yu kept asking him about Qin Huairu's whereabouts. It would be strange if Liu Guangqi didn't have a good attitude towards her.
"Are you ever going to stop? Can't you see I've been busy these past few days?"
"Do you think I'm unwilling to get things done for you? I can't find anyone right now, what can I do?"
"If you really think it's not going to work, then go out and tell everyone. Let's see if I'll still do things for you then!"
When Liu Guangqi got angry, he didn't care about anything else and scolded Wu Yu.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"How can you blame this on me? You were the one who begged me to agree to it!"
"Don't you fucking push your luck! I'm giving you five more days. If you can't get it done by then, don't blame me!"
Provoked by Liu Guangqi's words, Wu Yu also lost her temper and immediately retorted, giving Liu Guangqi an ultimatum.
Liu Guangqi's face darkened, and he didn't continue arguing with Wu Yu.
Because no matter what, if this matter blows up, my future will be ruined.
Therefore, unless it's the very last moment, or if there's absolutely no other way, Liu Guangqi will absolutely not fight Wu Yuyu to the death.
Because of their argument, Liu Guangqi and Wu Yu hadn't spoken to each other.
The next morning, Liu Guangqi hurriedly went out to look for someone again.
Wu Yu continued to loiter around the compound. He had originally planned to go find Xu Damao to hang out with, but Xu Damao had to go to work and didn't give him the chance.
After everyone in the family had left, Auntie Er tidied up the house briefly before going out.
Because she still remembered what Liu Guangqi had told her yesterday: to investigate why the people in the compound had started looking at Liu Guangqi with strange eyes again.
The people in the compound were indeed discussing Liu Guangqi, but after Second Aunt arrived, they all shut up and stopped talking about him, pretending not to know anything.
In the end, Aunt Er secretly found the neighbors in the next courtyard and asked them what they had been discussing lately.
This time, Aunt Er learned about the rumors about Liu Guangqi from her neighbors.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My Liu Guangqi would never do such a thing!"
After hearing what her neighbor had said about what Liu Guangqi had done, Aunt Er immediately flew into a rage.
"I didn't say this myself; it's said that it came from the young man who lives in your house!"
"But if his second aunt is like this, Liu Guangqi of your family is probably in big trouble!"
The neighbor next door casually explained the source of the information and also gave the second aunt a heads-up.
Seeing Auntie Er's agitated state, the neighbor immediately realized that Auntie Er was probably the one who was kept in the dark.
"Impossible, impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"How could my Liu Guangqi possibly be messing around outside!"
Aunt Er muttered to herself, refusing to believe that her precious eldest son would do such a thing, especially since someone had caught him red-handed.
"Why!"
Seeing the old lady's appearance, the neighbor next door didn't say anything more. Instead, he shook his head slightly, sighed, expressed his regret, and then remained silent.
After learning this news, Aunt Er lost the will to stay outside any longer.
Aunt Er returned home and waited for Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi to come back.
He would only believe it if he heard definite news from Liu Guangqi himself.
However, when she heard the news from her neighbor during the day, Aunt Er was already half-believing and half-doubting, and she also knew in her heart that it was probably true.
As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than their mother, and Liu Guangqi's recent condition has been observed by his second aunt.
Moreover, his second aunt also witnessed how he and Wu Yu interacted.
If Liu Guangqi hadn't felt guilty, why would he have been so subservient to Wu Yu, a sleazy young man?
"Oh no! What are we going to do?!"
"If this is true, wouldn't Guangqi's life be ruined?"
Auntie Er sat at home, sighing repeatedly. She could only silently pray that what her neighbors had told her was all a lie.
Just like the rumors that Jia Zhangshi told her neighbors before.
