Chapter 13 Take good care of your body
A little boy pushing a shopping cart like a toy car.
Seeing Gu Yuheng's cold, emotionless eyes.
Startled, she immediately hid behind her parents.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
The couple could tell that Gu Yuheng was not someone to be trifled with, so they nodded and bowed to apologize to him.
Gu Yuheng glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "This is a public place, keep an eye on the children."
"You're right, we'll definitely take better care of the child from now on."
The couple quickly grabbed their child and left.
Because the cart was going too fast, Su Niannian couldn't react in time. She watched as it rushed straight towards her, her face turning pale with fright, thinking she would definitely be knocked to the ground.
In the past, in their village, someone was knocked down in front of them, hit the back of their head, and died.
Gu Yuheng softened his tone and said, "You didn't bump into anything, did you?"
Su Niannian raised her eyes, looked at the man's handsome face, and shook her head.
"You stepped in front of me just in time, I'm fine."
Gu Yuheng nodded: "That's good."
Next, he switched places with Su Niannian, letting Su Niannian walk on the inside while he quietly walked beside her, adopting a protective posture.
Su Niannian pursed her lips and secretly glanced at Gu Yuheng.
Perhaps it was because of his words and his silent actions that my heart was gently touched.
Growing up, apart from her grandmother, no one cared about her feelings or her safety.
Most of the time, she lived like a transparent person.
I've long forgotten what it feels like to be cared for.
The place in her heart now makes her feel very warm.
"Hey, look, isn't that the eldest daughter of the Su family?"
The neighbor of the Su family's shop pointed in their direction and said.
Liu Jie, whom Li Xiumei had always fawned over, looked in the direction she was pointing and exclaimed, "It really is Su Niannian! Who's that man with her? Could it be that Li Xiumei really found a rich man for her eldest daughter?"
"Pah! With Li Xiumei's biased attitude, she would only introduce a rich man to Su Xin. She would never introduce him to her eldest daughter. Last time she even asked me if I knew any old men in their fifties or sixties, as long as the bride price was 500,000 yuan."
"What kind of mother is this?"
On the surface, the two men seemed to get along well with Li Xiumei, but behind her back, they often spoke ill of her.

Su family
In addition to selling breakfast, the breakfast shop also serves lunch. After lunchtime, the shop becomes quiet.
Li Xiumei invited Sister Liu and the others to the second floor to play mahjong.
As Sister Liu shuffled the cards, she said, "Xiumei, I got your eldest daughter's card this morning."
Li Xiumei paused in her hand as she touched the cards, just as Su Guowei came upstairs wearing an apron.
"Mr. Liu, where did you see Niannian?" he asked as he walked over.
Sister Liu: "It was at that membership supermarket in the east of the city. Niannian wasn't alone; she was with a man, a tall guy who looked very rich."
Li Xiumei and Su Guowei exchanged a glance.
"Sister Liu, you must be mistaken. If that girl had found a rich man, would she have needed to steal three thousand yuan from my house and get kicked out?"
Su Guowei quickly said, "Su Zhe's mother, don't talk nonsense in front of Boss Liu."
"By the way, Mr. Liu, is Niannian alright?"
Su Niannian ran out crying, but couldn't get through on the phone. He was afraid that the child might do something foolish because she couldn't understand.
Another person chimed in, "They seem to be getting along quite well, talking and walking with that man. Don't you guys really know who that man is?"
Their story was so detailed and convincing that Li Xiumei had no choice but to believe it.
That brat ran away from home for a day, did she really find a rich man?
With Su Niannian's pathetic appearance, what rich man would want her? Wouldn't she be driven to desperation and become someone's mistress?
Thinking about this, Li Xiumei was furious. Her body had been ruined by some wild man, and she was no longer a virgin. In the future, the bride price would not be high.
Li Xiumei lost interest in playing mahjong and saw the guests off after playing two rounds.
While Su Xin was in her room, every word of the conversation outside reached her ears. As soon as the guests left, she couldn't sit still any longer and immediately came out of her room.
She sat down next to Su Guowei and said insincerely, "Dad, you should call Niannian right away and ask what happened. She's out there all alone. What if she gets scammed? There are so many scammers these days."
Li Xiumei urged from the side, "Yes, hurry up and call that girl and ask her."
Su Niannian is definitely not answering her calls now, otherwise why would she need to urge Su Guowei to call?

hillside villa
Gu Yuheng took Su Niannian out for lunch before returning to the villa.
When she returned, she found that her room had been rearranged.
The curtains and bed sheets were changed to a dusty pink color suitable for girls. A white European-style wardrobe was placed against the wall, and a laptop was placed on the light wood desk by the window.
During his conversation with Gu Yuheng yesterday, Gu Yuheng learned that she was still in college, which must have been specially prepared for her.
Su Niannian knew that Mr. Gu did this not because he liked her, but because she was cooperating with him in his act. He felt that he had sacrificed a lot, so he wanted to make it up to her.
She lay on the big, soft bed, finally able to stretch out her curled-up legs freely.
She rolled over once but didn't fall to the ground. Money is a really good thing, so she must work hard in the future.
With her parents no longer reliable, she had to rely on herself to bring her grandmother out of that makeshift house.
A cell phone ringing interrupted her thoughts.
The blue phone screen showed that it was a call from Dad.
Even if Su Guowei doesn't call, she still has to call back, otherwise her grandmother will worry if she doesn't go back.
As soon as the call connected, Su Guowei's voice came from the other end.
“Niannian, our neighbor, Mr. Liu, just said he saw you shopping at the supermarket with a man this morning. Where are you now?”
Su Niannian had already prepared a story so that even if her parents found out she was with Gu Yuheng, they wouldn't be too flustered.
“Dad, I was just about to call you about this. I found a job as a live-in nanny, so I won’t be able to live at home anymore. The guy they saw is my boss. He knows I’m a good cook, so he plans to let me do all the cooking and grocery shopping from now on. This morning he took me to get familiar with the place.”
"Dad, you have to take good care of Grandma from now on."
Su Guowei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she had gone to look for a job and hadn't done anything foolish.
"But Niannian, if you go to be a nanny, will you stop going to school?"
“Yes, I’ve started school, and my boss has gone abroad. I go to school during the day and come back at night to look after his house.”
Just as Su Guowei was about to speak, Li Xiumei snatched the phone away.
"Su Niannian, you can go to work, but you better take care of your body. If someone ruins your innocent body, you won't be able to get a good price on blind dates in the future."
Su Niannian's face turned red with anger as she listened to Li Xiumei's words.
She really couldn't understand why a mother would say such things about her daughter, and she didn't want to hear it for another second.
He simply hung up the phone.
