Chapter 29 Chapter 29
029.
She rushed to the three people, glanced at Song Chunman, and then turned to ask Gu Tingzhou: "Brother Tingzhou, who is this comrade?"
Gu Tingzhou frowned slightly when he saw her. He originally didn't want to pay any attention to her, but he was afraid she would pester him later, so he said directly, "She is the person I want to marry."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yafang staggered, unable to believe her ears.
She stared at Song Chunman, then looked at the girl beside her and asked the man, "Is this child hers?"
Gu Tingzhou nodded, "It's hers, and it's mine too."
Song Chunman looked at the girl in front of her, thinking that they were all from the same compound, so she took the initiative to greet her: "Hello, I'm Song Chunman."
If Chen Yafang still had a little hope in her heart before, now that she heard the man's words with her own eyes, she had to believe it even if she didn't want to.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't hear Song Chunman's greeting at all. She couldn't understand why Gu Tingzhou would fall for such a woman.
She stared at Song Chunman and admitted that the woman in front of her was good-looking, but she already had a child, so she must be divorced.
Does he really like second-hand stuff?
She looked up at Gu Tingzhou in confusion. "Why? Doesn't she have a child? She's divorced. How could she be your partner?"
"So what?" Gu Tingzhou's face turned cold. "What does this have to do with you?"
Of course it's related to Chen Yafang. She was unwilling to accept it, "How can it have nothing to do with me! I've been following you around since I was a child, wanting to marry you and waiting for you the whole time, and now you tell me your partner is a divorced woman with children?"
It was lunchtime, the time for people to get off work, and there were already many people on the street. She spoke very loudly, and everyone looked in their direction.
Song Chunman also looked at the woman in front of her and quickly understood that this was Gu Tingzhou's pursuer.
Gu Tingzhou's face darkened. "Who I'm looking for has nothing to do with you. How can you say that?"
Chen Yafang felt completely humiliated when he said that in public. She shivered slightly, staring at the child in his arms, the sneer on her lips like ice. "Did I say something wrong? If I had known you were interested in this second-hand stuff, why would I have waited so foolishly all these years? I didn't expect you to have such bad taste!"
There was undisguised sarcasm in her words, which made Gu Tingzhou furious. "Chen Yafang, watch your mouth! Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you're a girl!"
"You've brought her home, are you still afraid of what others will say about you?" Chen Yafang looked at Song Chunman, her pretty face filled with jealousy. "You really have the face of a vixen. You're even second-hand, yet you can still seduce men..."
“Snap—”
The sound of a resounding slap exploded at the gate of the compound. Chen Yafang was hit and her head tilted to the side. Five red fingerprints instantly appeared on half of her cheek.
She was stunned for a few seconds, covered her hot face and looked up, seeing that Gu's mother had stood in front of her without her knowing when, and she was shaking with anger.
"Who are you to say anything about my Gu family?" Mother Gu's voice deepened, still holding the cooked food she had just bought from outside.
Father Gu was also furious, his face red and his neck thick. "How can you, a girl, utter such dirty words? If your father were here, he would have skinned you alive!"
Everyone was just watching from the side, but now they all gathered around.
They all knew that the Gu family and the Chen family had known each other for a long time, and they had very close interactions in the past. Gu's mother was usually very nice to Chen Yafang, but they didn't expect that she would take action today because of a divorced woman.
Everyone was shocked, including Song Chunman. She didn't expect that Gu's mother would actually hit someone for her.
Chen Yafang was more shocked than anyone else, "Auntie, you..."
Mother Gu took a half step forward and pointed at Chen Yafang's nose. "I recognize the daughter-in-law my son has chosen. Even if this child isn't from our Gu family, after they get married, the child will still be my granddaughter. How can you call her 'second-hand'?"
Father Gu also snorted, "I'll ask your father when the time comes. How did he teach his daughter to come to our house and give us orders?"
Chen Yafang was scolded so much that tears streamed down her face, but she didn't dare to talk back.
Gu's father was highly respected in the compound, and her parents had to be polite when they saw him. At this moment, the gazes from all around her were like needles piercing her, making her wish she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
But she still refused to accept it, "Isn't what I said true? Gu Tingzhou just found a second-hand one, and he's just happy to be a father now!"
"You..." Mother Gu was so angry that her body was shaking. Although the people around her didn't dare to say anything, their eyes were clearly the same as Chen Yafang's.
Gu Tingzhou handed the child to Song Chunman's arms and held his mother with his hands: "Dad, Mom, don't get angry."
He looked at Chen Yafang again, his voice as cold as ice, "Chen Yafang, have you forgotten that you drugged me that year?"
After he finished speaking, Chen Yafang's heart skipped a beat, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Everyone immediately looked at Chen Yafang with curiosity.
Gu Tingzhou sneered, "Then let me tell you now, Song Chunman is my fiancée, and her daughter is my biological child. All of this is thanks to your contribution back then!"
After he finished speaking, Song Chunman's heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously reached out to grab him.
Although naming the child as her biological child at this time would slap Chen Yafang in the face, she didn't want to say it in public now because it would bring up the past events again and become a topic of gossip after dinner.
His words were so confusing that the people around him couldn't quite understand him. Even Gu's parents couldn't understand him. How could they not know that his son had been drugged by Chen Yafang?
Everyone was discussing——
"Drugging? Did Chen Yafang drug Captain Gu before?"
"Report record? Did you report that incident to the police back then?"
Hearing this, Chen Yafang was a little confused for a moment. What did it mean? The child was Gu Tingzhou's biological child?
Could it be that the woman in front of her was the one who slept with Gu Tingzhou before her?
How is this possible?
Did he find that woman?
She looked at the man and asked unsurely, "What...what do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb!" Gu Tingzhou didn't respond directly. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau and find the records of the case I reported back then, and I'll hold you accountable again."
He stopped at that point because he didn't want Song Chunman to be dragged into the bad things of the past, and he didn't want Yueyue's life experience to be exposed in this situation.
For those people in the compound who were watching the fun, the words "drugging" and "report record" were enough to overturn their bad impression of Chen Yafang.
Hearing this, Chen Yafang understood everything. After that incident, Gu Tingzhou went straight to the police, and he gave up only because she begged him hard. Now he brought the matter out in the open again, wanting to make things difficult for her.
Her face turned pale as paper, but Gu Tingzhou continued, "If you don't believe me, just try saying it again."
Chen Yafang looked at the burning gazes of the crowd, her lips trembling for a long time without uttering a word. Suddenly, she cried out "Wow", covered her face, and ran away from the crowd.
As everyone watched Chen Yafang run away, their eyes immediately fell on Gu Tingzhou and the others like spotlights. Some of them had already taken half a step forward, with unconcealed curiosity on their lips.
Seeing this, Mother Gu quickly stepped forward, gathered Song Chunman and the child behind her, and spoke first in a loud voice: "Alright, alright, let's all go! It's noon, and everyone's still stewing on the stove. Let's go home and eat!"
As she spoke, she led Song Chunman towards her home to avoid being watched. She then turned around and waved at the neighbor who was still peeking out, "Go home quickly and check before the food in the pot gets spoiled."
Song Chunman's arms as she held the child trembled slightly. She was not afraid, but the protection that Gu's mother and father had just shown her hit her heart hard, making her feel soft.
When they returned to Gu's house, Mother Gu was still angry. "Why did she become like this today? She's a woman, and I can't believe what she said came out of her mouth."
Gu Tingzhou said directly, "She has always been like that. She just behaves better in front of you. That's why I never thought about developing any relationship with her before."
Gu's father had originally thought about marrying into the Chen family since he had known them for a long time, but after what happened just now, he felt that Chen Yafang was not suitable for their family.
He was also very angry now. "I'm going to talk to Lao Chen about it later. Don't come to our house anymore."
Mother Gu wanted to scold, but then she thought of something and looked at Song Chunman, "I'm so sorry for making you and Yueyue feel wronged."
Song Chunman pursed her lips slightly and smiled, "Auntie, I don't feel wronged at all since you guys are speaking for me."
Mother Gu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her son. "What did you just say about her drugging you? How come we didn't know?"
Song Chunman only then remembered that Gu Tingzhou had just said that he had reported the incident to the police, but how come no one in the Gu family knew about it?
Gu Tingzhou was very angry about what happened that year, so he reported the case. Later, Chen Yafang cried and begged him, and since they had known each other since childhood, he softened his heart and dropped the case.
This incident was very embarrassing, so he didn't tell anyone about it after the case was dropped.
But now that everything has been laid out in the open, his wife and daughter have been found, and his parents have approved of Song Chunman, then there is no need for him to keep it secret.
He glanced at Song Chunman, then slowly spoke: "Four years ago, in order to marry me, she added drugs to the soda she gave me. She wanted to make it a fait accompli. Later, I found out and reported it to the police."
He said it easily, but Mother and Father Gu's eyes widened. They had never imagined that a little girl like Chen Yafang would do such a shameless thing? At that time, she seemed to have only turned eighteen, right?
Mother Gu's face flushed with anger, "She actually did such a thing?"
"Yes." Gu Tingzhou said, "So that's why I treated her so badly over the years, and why I didn't want to marry her?"
Mother Gu felt a little guilty when she heard this. She had previously thought that the Chen and Gu families had known each other for many years, and that although Yafang was a little spoiled, she wouldn't be that bad. She hadn't expected...
For a moment, she didn't know who to be angry with. She just looked at him and said, "Why didn't you tell us about this earlier? Otherwise, why would we have thought of bringing you two together all these years?"
Father Gu didn't want to ask this, and just looked at Gu Tingzhou: "Then what did you say just now about biological children, and thanking Chen Yafang for her 'merit' back then? Could it be..."
He said, turning to look at Song Chunman and the child.
