After Zhou Chunhua finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
The rest is up to her to handle.
Gu Yao has already helped her enough.
I turned my phone to silent mode and looked out the window at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
They were like Nana and Gu Yao, giving her invaluable light in the pitch-black night.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was deep in thought, Gu Yao had already made his seventy-second phone call.
There was still no answer.
Gu Yao anxiously opened WeChat, edited a long message, and then deleted it all.
Answer the phone!
There was no response.
【Huahua, why aren't you answering the phone?】
There has still been no response.
So he dialed Liao Nanxing's number directly.
After the beeping sound, Liao Nanxing's tired voice rang out.
"What? Zhou Chunhua sent you to represent her in negotiations with me?"
Gu Yao suppressed his anger.
"Liao Nanxing, you've wronged her for over twenty years. In the end, can't you act like a responsible man?"
"What does it mean to take responsibility? Does giving her whatever she wants make you take responsibility? Gu Yao, when you're asking for help, you should act like one. But... let me tell you the truth, it's no use asking me for help, so don't waste your time."
"Gu Yao, if she truly wants to discuss this, let her come to me and talk to me face-to-face. You don't need to get involved. I'm making this clear: as long as she's with you, there's no room for negotiation."
"Okay, you said it yourself."
The call abruptly ended, and Liao Nanxing, bewildered, carefully put his phone away. Who did he think he was? Still stubbornly clinging to his defeat! He wanted to see what tricks this Gu fellow could pull.
He glanced at the sleeping old lady, sighed, got up, tiptoed out of the room, and gently closed the door behind him.
Looking towards the direction of the child's room, he dragged his heavy steps back to his bedroom.
Since that big fight with Su Mu, Su Mu has never returned to their bedroom.
He had no intention of getting a divorce. The reason he told Su Mu to take the child and leave on the day of the argument was because he wanted to live a good life with her and wanted to temper her temperamental nature.
Moreover, the reason he still helped the old lady even though he knew she was bullying people was simply to make Su Mu understand her place in this family.
He also had to make Su Mu understand the principle that whether her mother-in-law was right or wrong, she should still listen to her.
Only by defining the roles of everyone in the family and establishing rules can the family live in peace from now on.
Otherwise, he would never have a moment of peace for the rest of his life.
Although he felt sorry for Su Mu and understood Su Mu's grievances, the labor pains were a painful process that had to be endured.
Fortunately, Su Mu has been brought under his control, so there shouldn't be any major conflicts between him and the old lady in the future.
Next, as long as Su Mu is given some time to gradually adapt to her new position and role, he will cherish her even more than before.
As for Zhou Chunhua...
If Gu Yao hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have been so heartless.
...
The next day.
Liao Nanxing was awakened by a cell phone ringing.
He picked up his phone in frustration, glanced at the caller ID, and saw it was his assistant calling.
Squinting at the French windows, he complained, "What's wrong with you? It's not even dawn yet!"
"Something's happened, Professor Liao! Something terrible has happened!"
"Did the sky fall?" Liao Nanxing replied weakly.
Young people these days are always so easily alarmed. They make a big deal out of the smallest things, like the earth is about to explode.
"Professor Liao! Please go online and take a look! Someone posted Chen Xiaoyu's story online, and it's gotten out of control!" The assistant's voice was trembling with tears.
"You'd better take a look! I heard the school leaders are already holding an emergency meeting about this. You'd better think of a solution quickly."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Liao Nanxing had already hung up the phone.
After opening the webpage and typing in the name "Chen Xiaoyu," hundreds of links popped up, making Liao Nanxing's scalp tingle.
The most popular topic was the news of Chen Xiaoyu's suicide.
In an instant, Liao Nanxing's heart turned ice-cold.
It happened so many years ago, it's all in the past, why is it being brought up again now?
A feeling of being deliberately targeted slowly rose from the bottom of my heart.
Trembling, I clicked on the most popular link. The screen redirected, and a picture appeared before my eyes.
In the drizzling scene, a long-haired girl is surrounded by several girls of similar age.
One of the girls stepped forward with a smile and grabbed the girl's hair.
The girl turned her face away in pain, and the girl slapped her across the face.
The girl was slapped to the ground.
Her white shirt was soaked by the sewage on the ground, and she huddled up, shivering and sobbing.
The girls did not give up. On the contrary, some of them stepped forward and stomped on the girl's face.
Half of the girl's face was submerged in the murky puddle.
She slapped the foot that was stepping on her face, but in return, she was punched and kicked by the others.
The next second, the camera panned, and it looked like the person filming the video rushed up and casually grabbed the phone.
The video ends there, but the final frame is of himself.
Liao Nanxing rubbed his forehead in pain, his knuckles cracking.
He took a few deep breaths before propping himself up to get out of the refrigerator, take out a bottle of water, and drink it all in one go.
Only then did he feel a little better.
