Huang Zijuan then said, "It could be good news, or it could be bad news!"
"Then tell me!"
"My dad said there's a meeting in the city, and your street might be slated for demolition. He told you to be prepared!"
Huang Ling asked in disbelief, "Is it really going to be demolished?"
“My dad said that the demolition will be in six months, just to prepare you mentally. He said there will be compensation and a new apartment!”
Zhuang Xiaoting, who was standing nearby, said to Huang Ling, "Mom, didn't you hear what my sister said? It'll be six months later. These days, national policies change every day. Who knows what it will be like in six months!"
Huang Ling nodded and said, "That's right, let's prepare ourselves mentally and see how things go!"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll be going now! I have to go to work!"
Huang Ling quickly said to Huang Zijuan, "Okay, be careful on the road!"
"Okay, Auntie!"
Meanwhile, Wu Xiaojun arrived at the police station and met Qin Chuan, who was waiting for him by the patrol car. As soon as they met, Qin Chuan asked Wu Xiaojun, "Where did you arrange for that girl from yesterday?"
Wu Xiaojun sighed and said, "Oh dear, I've really messed with this leech! I can't get rid of it!"
"What's the matter?"
"She came home with me yesterday and insisted on marrying me, which left me speechless!"
"This girl seems to be no pushover!"
"What? Master, do you know this girl?"
"I don't know. Do you remember the photos Lin Wufeng showed me when we passed the newsstand yesterday?"
"What does this have to do with Jiang Xiaoyue?"
"The girl in that photo was dressed too provocatively and violated privacy, so I didn't show it to you. The girl in that photo is Jiang Xiaoyue!"
"Ah! Jiang Xiaoyue is the mistress who broke up other people's families?"
"This is a matter of personal morality, not a legal issue, so it's beyond our control!"
"How did she know that Lin Dongzhe and I are neighbors?"
"Do you think we just happened to run into her yesterday?"
Wu Xiaojun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
"I think we've fallen into someone's trap!"
"Oh, a trap? What do we do now? My parents actually believed it! They're taking Jiang Xiaoyue to buy wedding furniture this afternoon!"
"Ha ha!"
Qin Chuan actually laughed, and even laughed out loud!
"Master, why are you laughing?"
"I was just joking with you yesterday, asking you to bring your family home as your wife. I didn't expect your parents to think the same way!"
"What do we do now, Master?"
"I've solved your single status problem, and you're still asking me what to do? Just marry me and make me your wife!"
"Master, you... I was so worried, and you were joking!"
"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding anymore. Let's go on patrol. When we pass by your house, we'll explain it to your parents."
"Okay, thank you, Master!"
So the two of them got into the patrol car and started their work.
As soon as Tu Nan stepped out of the alley, he had Anna take Zhuang Xiaoting and the two elderly people home.
As soon as the two elderly people arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they saw Wu Jianguo busy in his own yard. So Grandma Zhuang took the initiative to greet him, saying, "Master Wu, are you busy?"
Upon seeing that it was the old lady from the Zhuang family, Wu Jianguo said, "Oh, Auntie! What brings you here for a visit!"
"We heard that Tu Nan has a girlfriend, so we were curious and came to check it out!"
"Really? Oh, by the way, ma'am, my family is having a celebration in a couple of days. Come over if you're free!"
"Right! You know what, if it really works out, I'll actually come. I know Xiaoyue, I watched her grow up!"
"Is that so?"
Wu Jianguo asked in surprise, "Auntie, how do you know her?"
"It's from the orphanage near my house!"
"Oh, so in that sense, you're practically family to her!"
"Yes, yes! That's how it should be according to the rules!"
"That's great! What do you think of the child?"
The old woman initially wanted to blurt out what Huang Ling had told her, but then she felt sorry for Jiang Xiaoyue. Jiang Xiaoyue had finally found a home to settle down in, and now her words had ruined it. She felt incredibly immoral. As the saying goes, "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage." So, the old woman wasn't stupid. Her expression changed slightly; she first shook her head, then, sensing something amiss, nodded and said, "That's right, the child is quite good. She's well-liked and popular in our area. It's just that she's been away from us for several months now! I don't know if she's changed, so I still don't know her situation!"
Isn't that old lady clever? With just one sentence, she absolved herself of all responsibility. If something really happens, she'll have an excuse. Bad people learn to be bad quickly, and it takes a long time for her to know how bad they are. How could she know after just a few months?
Wu Jianguo was so happy that he only heard the first part of the sentence, and didn't think carefully about the ambiguous part. He just smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Auntie. We will definitely invite you when we hold the banquet. After all, you are family!"
"Okay, let's go home then!"
"good!"
The old lady from the Zhuang family had just stepped into the courtyard and hadn't been home for long when she saw Wu Xiaojun leading Qin Chuan coming from around the corner of the alley. As soon as Wu Xiaojun saw Wu Jianguo, he said, "Dad, where's Jiang Xiaoyue?"
Wu Jianguo was taken aback at first, then said, "She's helping your sister over there! Didn't you see her?"
"Oh, let her stay there! We're not looking for her, we need to tell you something!"
Looking for me?
Wu Jianguo pointed to himself and continued, "Why are you looking for me? I haven't done anything wrong!"
Qin Chuan quickly said, "It's not about that, Uncle, it's about Jiang Xiaoyue!"
"Jiang Xiaoyue? What happened to her? She was just talking about her with the neighbors! Praising her for being popular and having a good temper!"
Wu Xiaojun said, "Praise her? Does anyone know her?"
"Yes, Grandma Tunan knows her. She's a child from an orphanage near her house. They're orphans without parents, it's so pitiful. Why are you looking for her?"
Wu Xiaojun and Qin Chuan exchanged a glance, both feeling uneasy and somewhat sorry for Jiang Xiaoyue, but this was not something that could be resolved by pity alone.
Wu Xiaojun coughed before saying, "Dad, although Jiang Xiaoyue is pitiful, she's also someone who broke up a family!"
"Someone who breaks up other people's families?"
"right!"
"What happened?"
"Someone might have instructed her to bewitch Lin Dongzhe and then get Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe to divorce. Jiang Xiaoyue initially worked at Lin Dongzhe's supermarket, but was kicked out by Lin Dongzhe's mother. I didn't expect her to set her sights on me. Isn't our house close to the Zhuang family's? So..."
"Wu Xiaojun, is everything you're saying true?"
Wu Xiaojun and Qin Chuan turned their heads together and saw Zhuang Xiaoting standing at the door, looking at the two of them.
When Wu Xiaojun saw Zhuang Xiaoting, his face turned pale with fright. He knew that his words had been like daggers to Zhuang Xiaoting's heart, especially since she was heavily pregnant. If she heard his words and was traumatized, he would be implicated. So, Wu Xiaojun hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Sister Xiaoting, I didn't say anything! You must have misheard me."
Qin Chuan naturally understood the seriousness of the matter and echoed, "Yes, you misunderstood. We're talking about something else, it has nothing to do with you!"
The so-called explanation was just a cover-up. Zhuang Xiaoting was also a college graduate, but she knew what Wu Xiaojun and Qin Chuan were afraid of. In order not to affect the two police officers, Zhuang Xiaoting also pretended to smile and said, "Oh, then you two continue chatting, I'm going to rest!"
After saying that, he closed the door and ignored the two of them.
Seeing that they had gotten away with it, Wu Xiaojun and Qin Chuan felt relieved and no longer had to worry about it.
Wu Xiaojun then said to Wu Jianguo, "Dad, let's talk inside! Let's not disturb others!"
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Zhang Amei tidying up, making room for cabinets and such.
As soon as Zhang Amei saw the three of them enter the room, she asked Wu Jianguo, "What's going on?"
