That day, Lin Chuchu and the others returned from outside and went shopping.
The two cars drove one after the other to the base gate. Now, the higher-ups are paying more attention to Lin Chuchu's safety, even more so than the base's leaders.
However, everyone felt that this was the right thing to do.
They saw two soldiers on guard at the entrance of the family compound talking to a woman.
It seemed like they were blocking the woman from going in.
Team Leader Qin got out of the car and exchanged a few words with the soldier on guard. The soldier immediately raised the barrier and signaled for the two cars to pass.
Just then, the woman next to them suddenly rushed over, startling the others.
"What...are you doing?"
"Stop it!"
They even thought the other side was going to harm Team Qin.
They all rushed over to protect Captain Qin, but Captain Qin reacted quickly, dodging to the side and kicking one of them away.
The woman knelt on the ground and coughed violently a few times.
"I need to see Lin Chuchu. I know he's her bodyguard. I need to see her, please let me see her..."
Lin Chuchu looked out the window with a surprised expression. When the other person raised their tear-streaked face, Lin Chuchu immediately recognized them.
This woman is Researcher Hou's ex-wife.
Ignoring Liu Xiaonuan's attempts to stop her, Lin Chuchu opened the car door and got out. The others followed her, carefully protecting her.
Their eyes were fixed on the person on the ground; they had the right to kill him if he made any unusual movements.
Lin Chuchu approached her with a complicated expression. The other person tried to grab Lin Chuchu's trouser leg, but was stopped by someone.
"Sister Chuchu, I was wrong... Waaah... I miss my child, let me see my child, I was really wrong, I regret the divorce..."
She covered her face and began to cry, her voice filled with regret.
Previously, she lived in the family compound and had no parents-in-law to take care of. She only had Grandma Hou, who took care of her in every way and helped her take care of her children.
However, she ruined all of this. Her temper worsened, she failed to understand her husband's work, and finally, unable to bear the loneliness, she ran off with someone else.
Now, she really regrets it. The man she married later was an abusive domestic man. He was nice to her at first, but later he became addicted to gambling and gambled every day with the money. The family became poorer and poorer, and now they can't even afford to eat.
Lin Chuchu looked at her with complicated emotions. In just one year, she felt that she had aged several years and become extremely thin.
People say that you can tell whether a person is good or bad just by looking at their face.
The girl in front of me used to always smile and speak softly. She had a very auspicious look back then. But now?
He was so thin he was almost unrecognizable, with high cheekbones and a sharp, mean expression.
Lin Chuchu's face was full of complicated emotions. "Why...why did you do this? You didn't want a good life, and now you've fallen to this state. Is this really what you wanted?"
The woman trembled, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She used to have a good job, a daughter, and a harmonious family, but she was not satisfied and wanted her husband to spend more time with her.
But now she realizes just how good Researcher Hou was to her.
Researcher Hou handed over all his salary and never asked her what she bought, not even expensive items.
But what about now? We can't even get enough to eat, and we often go hungry.
"Sister Chuchu, please help me. I really regret it. I will live a good life with him from now on. Please take me into the family compound."
Lin Chuchu, however, remained unmoved and shook her head, saying, "This is a matter between the two of you; we outsiders can't make the decision for you."
“He’s still at the research base and hasn’t come back yet. If you want to wait, then wait until he comes back and you can talk to him in person.”
Lin Chuchu felt that there was no possibility for the two of them anymore. Researcher Hou was not a soft-hearted person. After what the other party had done to his daughter, he would never turn back.
After saying that, Lin Chuchu turned and walked towards the car.
The woman stood up anxiously, about to rush towards Lin Chuchu, "Sister Chuchu, I miss my child, please let me see my child."
Once she sees the child, she is confident she can persuade Grandma Hou to let her stay temporarily.
She really didn't want to go back, and she didn't want to be beaten again.
She didn't run into Lin Chuchu; she was stopped by someone.
Liu Xiaonuan said in an icy voice, "Comrades, if you lunge at us again, we will suspect that you intend to harm Comrade Lin, and we have the right to kill you. Have you... thought it through?"
The woman shuddered. "You...you're treating human life like dirt."
Liu Xiaonuan said, "I now suspect that you are an assassin sent by some country. If you dare to make any unusual moves, I will immediately have my people in the shadows open fire."
The woman froze instantly, not daring to move an inch, for fear of being mistaken for a bad guy and then being killed.
At this moment, she realized she was afraid. Someone who used to be so kind was now so important. Did that mean Lin Chuchu's status was even higher than that of Researcher Hou?
A flicker of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Why? Why should a woman receive such attention?
How can a woman be more capable than a man?
Lin Chuchu used to look down on the other party. Although the other party had some ability, she thought that the other party might be the mistress of a certain leader, which was why the higher-ups gave her the green light and paid attention to Lin Chuchu.
Although that's what she thought, she used to be able to pretend and never showed any disdain for Lin Chuchu in front of others.
But now she suddenly feels that her previous thoughts were wrong.
The Lin Chuchu in front of us might really have gotten to where she is today through her own abilities.
From initial fear and disdain to current disbelief, how ridiculous I was back then.
Looking down on this and that, in the end, you live a chaotic life and are the one who deserves to be looked down upon the most.
Lin Chuchu stopped looking at her, got into the car, and the car slowly started moving towards the family compound.
All the soldiers they encountered saluted the car.
With all the glory bestowed upon him, he truly stood high above others, making women envious. Unfortunately, it was too late for anything he did then.
Lin Chuchu never expected to run into her while out, and felt nothing but bad luck.
I'll remind Grandma Hou later to stay home for a while. Now that they've come all this way, they certainly won't give up easily.
Back home, Lin Chuchu told her maternal grandmother about it. Her maternal grandmother and Grandma Hou often chatted together, so she asked her to tell Grandma Hou.
"What a waste! They didn't cherish the good old days, and now they regret it and come back. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Grandma felt that the other party had brought this upon themselves, and since they had already made their choice, they should bear the consequences.
After saying that, she took Aunt Li out.
