Chapter 16: I Took Off My Brother's Green Hat (16)
Ji's mother asked Ji Huaijin to move back, since it wasn't easy for him to live alone there.
It would be better to come back and live together as a family.
Although no one mentioned it in front of the child, she probably guessed it.
She spoke to her father cautiously, and swallowed the questions she wanted to ask her mother.
He would only ask his uncle's mother what she was doing in private.
Ji Huaizhi thought for a moment and bought her a smartwatch: "Your mother's phone number is in there. If you miss her, you can call her yourself."
Ji Shu was very happy.
But she didn't dare show her longing for her mother in front of her father.
Only my uncle.
She excitedly made the call, but the call was disconnected after only one ring.
She looked helplessly at her uncle: "Why did Mom hang up on me?"
Ji Huaizhi suddenly remembered something: "Maybe it's because it's an unknown number. Your mother doesn't answer unknown numbers. Why don't you send her a text message?"
"Maybe she saw it and called back."
That's something you say to coax a child.
Because Feng Wanyi had turned on Do Not Disturb mode.
There were just too many people making harassing phone calls; she suspected it was Ji Huaizhi who was behind it.
There's no way to enable the function to reject calls from unknown numbers.
I can't receive any text messages.
So she had no idea that her daughter had called or messaged her.
Besides, even if I did pick her up, she wouldn't be available; she'd moved out of Chen Xiuli's house.
Unable to bear the whispers and pointing fingers of her neighbors, Chen Xiuli always covered her face with a scarf when she went out. In the end, she told Feng Wanyi to move out on her own, and if she had nowhere to go, she should go find her dead father.
But what she didn't expect was that Feng Wanyi went to find He Gaolin.
She threatened He Gaolin to find her a place to stay and that she would never bother him again.
He Gaolin had no choice but to let her move into the house he had secretly bought.
If it weren't for the sword of Ji Huaijin hanging over his head, he would have thought that life was pretty good.
He has a beautiful wife at home and a goddess from his youth on the side.
These kinds of days are quite comfortable.
However, he had to be constantly on guard against Ji Huaijin's revenge, so he dared not meet with Feng Wanyi and stayed at home to be a dutiful husband.
Before they knew it, it was time for He Gaolin's child to have his one-month celebration.
He was awakened by a nightmare early in the morning.
Many people came today, and he was afraid something might happen.
Ji Huaijin was at work at the time. He checked the time and thought it was about time.
He Gaolin was busy all morning, afraid of making any mistakes, and he observed everything very carefully. Fortunately, Ji Huaijin did not come, otherwise he would have felt very guilty and would not know how to face him.
Thinking of his upright character.
For the sake of his wife who has just finished her postpartum confinement, he probably won't cause any embarrassment in this situation.
Seeing how much he valued it, everyone praised He Gaolin's wife, Li Yao, saying, "Your husband is doing well now; he's valuing you more and more."
"That's right, everyone goes through the seven-year itch, but after all these years, I didn't expect your relationship to get better and better."
Li Yao smiled, because her husband had been very accommodating to her during her postpartum period, which had gone quite well.
Her face was fair with a rosy glow: "Maybe it's because I'm getting older, I'm paying more and more attention to my family."
"But after having a second child, he has indeed shifted his focus to the family."
He Gaolin's father-in-law is a prominent figure, so many people came to attend the full moon celebration.
Amidst their conversation, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Li Yao, holding the child, looked over and asked, "What's going on over there? Why is it so noisy?"
"I don't know, should you let the postpartum nanny take care of the baby so we can go and check on him/her?"
"Let's go, I'm bored too."
Li Yao handed the baby over to the nanny and went out with his friend.
As the group walked over, they heard Li's father roar, "What exactly have you been doing outside?"
"I think you've really gone mad!"
Seeing his father's fury and his ashen face, Li Yao noticed the strange, mocking expressions on the faces of the others.
My heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened?
"What's wrong?"
Someone saw Li Yao coming and quickly stopped him: "Why are you here? There are too many people here, go see the children."
"Why is my dad so angry?" Li Yao asked, puzzled. "Who upset him?"
Her eyes darted around and she saw her husband standing in the crowd, covering his face.
What are they talking about?
A photograph suddenly appeared before him, and Li Yao picked it up, his eyes wide with shock: "What is this?"
The man in the photo is He Gaolin. He and a woman, both disheveled, are doing something filthy in a parking lot. There are even other photos of them at other times.
The two were very close.
Everyone's expression suddenly changed, their meaning unclear.
There are very few honest people among them, but none of them have ever made a scene in public.
The son-in-law of the Li family is the first of his kind.
This is a huge embarrassment.
"Li Yao, don't get agitated."
How could Li Yao not be excited?
Looking up and seeing these photos scattered all over the ground, I almost lost my balance.
She stepped forward and grabbed He Gaolin by the collar: "What did you do? What were you doing while I was pregnant?"
"You always say you're busy, but it turns out you're busy cheating on me!"
"Slap!" Li Yao slapped him excitedly: "Who is that woman?"
"Go ahead and say it?"
“Li Yao, go back and look after the child,” Li’s father said to his daughter with a dark face, then turned and announced, “I’m really sorry, we’ve made a fool of ourselves in front of everyone.”
"I apologize for my negligence today, and I will do so another day."
He Gaolin's worst fears came true.
Unexpectedly, Ji Huaijin used this method to tear away this fig leaf.
As Li's father was seeing off the guests, other noises suddenly appeared on the central screen.
"Don't you despise your wife? Why don't you divorce her?"
He Gaolin's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He pushed Li Yao aside and stumbled over, yelling, "Turn it off! Turn it off right now!"
"Turn it off!"
The others scrambled about, making a series of jarring noises.
Seeing that the sound was still coming even after unplugging the power, He Gaolin had no choice but to smash the speaker next to him.
