The sound startled Gu Xichao, his eyebrows twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
The next second, Jiang Lili jumped up and pounced on Gu Xichao.
Because he had just crouched down, he couldn't dodge in time and was tackled to the ground.
The crucial point is that he even became Jiang Lili's human cushion, being pinned down by her.
Gu Xichao was speechless. How could he have run into such an exceptional person?
He quickly pinched an acupoint on Jiang Lili's body. He didn't use much force, but the pain made her jump off him immediately.
"Ouch! Ouch! There's a bug on the ground! It bit me!"
She shouted without any decorum, attracting a large crowd to watch.
Gu Xichao seized the opportunity to quickly get up from the ground, thinking that he would have to throw away another piece of his clothes.
He didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
Ignoring her own pain, Jiang Lili chased after him, calling out, "Xiaobao, don't go! I haven't seen you in so long!"
Gu Xichao had just been hurt by a fall, and then Jiang Lili clashed with him like this; even the best-tempered person would have lost their temper.
He turned around and pressed Jiang Lili's acupoints hard again.
Gu Xichao's words completely numb her; it was a genuine physical numbness.
Jiang Lili was stunned for a moment. In just that short time, Gu Xichao's figure disappeared.
There weren't many onlookers, because the whole process didn't last long, and once everyone saw that there wasn't much to see, they all dispersed on their own.
Jiang Lili is like a piece of chewing gum that you can't get rid of, making people feel bad.
After returning home, Gu Xichao didn't do anything for himself; he simply packed his things and went back to school.
He sat in his dormitory, thinking for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out where to start.
Because Gu Xichao didn't know much about Jiang Lili's family.
Thinking of this, Gu Xichao suddenly had a flash of inspiration: wasn't that woman already married?
What's the situation now?
In the end, Gu Xichao simply took leave and went directly to Gu Shi's brick factory.
"Uncle, do you know that Aunt has been harassed by a woman recently?"
Gu Xichao thought about asking Gu Shi about it, but he was too embarrassed to tell him about his experience.
Gu Shi was sitting in his office, not too busy, and looked up at him.
"I heard it's already been dealt with?"
“I heard from my aunt that the person was our former neighbor. I don’t know what happened to her family that made them like this.”
Gu Shi said casually, "Her family is having some problems. Why are you asking about that?"
Gu Xichao paused for a moment, then said, "I'm not doing anything, I just feel sorry for her. Why haven't I seen her husband?"
Gu Shi suddenly laughed: "You kid, when have I ever seen you care about anyone else?"
He then took a newspaper from under the table and threw it directly to Gu Xichao.
"Take it and look at it! Solve your own problems!"
Gu Shi's only instruction to him was this one sentence. Over the years, Gu Shi had adopted this laissez-faire approach to raising Gu Xichao.
It's good that he wasn't corrupted by being left to grow up on his own.
However, Gu Xichao didn't stand on ceremony. He took the newspaper, thanked him, and left.
He initially intended to just walk out, but he was also a little worried about running into someone on the way, although the probability was low.
So Gu Xichao sat down in the factory canteen and carefully read the newspaper.
The above report is not very detailed; it only provides a general description of the scene.
Gu Xichao carefully read the contents and found some strange things.
For example, the whole scene was very chaotic, and there were indeed signs that outsiders had gone in, but the newspapers couldn't explain it clearly.
Gu Xichao could only conclude from this that there was something wrong with the trace.
Then there's the child. It says that the child was locked in the closet by Jiang Lili and couldn't speak afterwards.
But in that situation, could a six or seven-year-old child really hide quietly in the closet?
He had a feeling that this matter was inextricably linked to that woman.
Otherwise, that person wouldn't act so erratically, and sometimes they would seem mentally unstable.
As evening approached, the cafeteria gradually filled up, and Gu Xichao ate his meal there before leaving.
The brick factory was a bit far from his school, but since he rode his bicycle, it wouldn't cause him any trouble.
There are streetlights along the way, so I'm not afraid of getting dark.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard crying from the side.
Gu Xichao turned his head and saw that there was a house next to him.
In this remote place, far from any village or shop, even during the day one would probably think it was an uninhabited place.
Unexpectedly, the lights were on all night, and I could faintly hear people chanting scriptures by the roadside.
Gu Xichao originally planned to take a quick look and leave, since it was so late.
However, it was darker here than the other side of the house where the lights were brighter.
His eyesight is also excellent, so it would be difficult for him not to see.
A girl was kneeling on the ground, and the crying was coming from there.
She was hugging the person in front of her, crying and saying something unintelligible. Gu Xichao could only vaguely make out the gist of it.
"Master... please help me... I really like... I'm getting married..."
Oh, that person is Wu Lili!
She was someone he knew, so Gu Xichao stayed a little longer.
The person standing there wanted her to give more money, but Wu Lili couldn't afford it.
There wasn't much to see, and Gu Xichao was about to leave when he suddenly heard Wu Lili shout loudly again.
"I'm willing to pay any price to get him to get a divorce!"
He frowned as he listened, wondering what Wu Lili was up to.
After that, the two of them went into the house together, and no one knows what happened next.
Gu Xichao rode his bicycle all the way to school, and nothing else happened.
Lin Qingyu knew nothing about her neighbor's affairs. She and her shop's staff were making final preparations for the opening the next day.
Hang lanterns, paste couplets, set up tables and chairs, and prepare firecrackers.
The kitchen staff also gathered around Chef Zhang, discussing the new menu.
When a restaurant reopens, it needs to prepare new dishes.
The shop staff were busy until dark before going home, while Lin Qingyu and Li Xiuhua stayed there until eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
However, when Lin Qingyu went out early the next morning, she saw Wu Lili sitting at her door again.
He sat down on the ground, and it's unclear how long he sat there. He looked disheveled, as if he had been up all night.
"Qingyu, you're going out! This is some pear water I made; it's refreshing and thirst-quenching. Take it with you on your journey!"
Wu Lili, looking radiant, held a military water bottle in both hands and handed it directly to Lin Qingyu.
However, Lin Qingyu only saw Wu Lili's disheveled appearance, swollen eyes, and teary eyes.
She pushed Wu Lili's hand away.
"No!"
