Chapter 107
"What did you say?" Yu Yao couldn't believe what she heard.
"You said Yu Lili is dead?"
Suddenly, a crazy idea emerged in Yu Yao's mind: She was dead, how did she die?
Is that what she thought?
I clearly just heard her voice this afternoon. In fact, Yu Yao couldn't help but glance in their direction. At that time, they were talking and no one saw Yu Yao.
Although it was just a glance, Yu Yao still saw clearly what Yu Lili looked like now. She looked very haggard and no longer had the charm she had in school. But even so, she still silently protected the baby in her belly.
This is what being a mother means.
But now she was told that such a living person was dead.
Since coming to this world, Yu Yao has hurt people. Although he has never killed anyone, he has seen some people leave.
Although Yu Yao would be sad at that time, she would not find it as difficult to accept as it is now, because some people's death is destined, and some people deserve it, but Yu Lili...
She is not good, she is vain and even disgusting, but her crime does not deserve death, not to mention that she is pregnant with a child!
Gu Qing saw Yu Yao's face turn pale all of a sudden, and he knew that she might not be able to accept this, but Gu Qing didn't understand why she was so excited. Usually when she was with Yu Lili, wasn't she unwilling to pay attention to each other?
"You...the dead are gone..." After thinking for a while, Gu Qing just said this. She didn't know if it was right to ask Yu Yao at this time, so she chose not to ask anything.
After a long while, Yu Yao said, "I actually saw her today, in the alley outside the family compound. She came to look for Kong Lin. I think this matter has something to do with Kong Lin." After that, Yu Yao felt something was wrong and asked, "Do you think this is possible?"
Gu Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "He fell into the river, and no one saw if it was someone else's fault, but..."
"But there was a fence there, she shouldn't have fallen down like that, if she hadn't suffered a big blow, it was most likely man-made."
There was one more thing Gu Qing didn't say. Since Yu Yao had seen her coming to see Kong Lin, it would be normal for her to feel greatly devastated if the two of them failed to reach an agreement when facing her former lover, the man to whom she had devoted her heart and soul and who was the father of the child in her belly.
However, Gu Qing could not say whether this was a man-made accident or not. Everything still depended on how the police solved the case. If they had no evidence, they could only say it was an accident.
"What happened? Tell me more about it."
Yu Yao believes that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and that once something is done, it is impossible to leave no traces.
Gu Qing did not refuse, but he actually didn't know much. By the time he returned home in the afternoon, the news was already spreading around the family compound.
In fact, everyone thought that Kong Lin was going to marry Yu Lili, but suddenly a fiancée of Kong Lin appeared out of nowhere. Everyone was very excited and said that Yu Lili was too arrogant and aloof, so she was dumped by Kong Lin.
But in reality, everyone thinks that Kong Lin is a good-for-nothing. He is always looking at the pot while having his fill. Now that he has found a better family, he kicks the person who has always been with him. What else can he be but the modern-day Chen Shimei?
Maybe because Kong Lin has always had a bad reputation, people didn't talk much about him, and the focus was still on Yu Lili. While people disliked Yu Lili, they also felt pity for her as a woman.
Now that Yu Lili is dead, people tend to sympathize with the weak, so most people will now look at Kong Lin from Yu Lili's perspective, and the discussion will naturally become more intense.
But Kong Lin is a seasoned man. He didn't care about these things before, and he cares even less about them now. The Kong family is still arranging the marriage.
Even Yu's aunt said outside that Yu Lili deserved to die and didn't want to cause trouble to others.
Hearing this, Yu Yao simply felt disgusted with the Kong family.
"Can we take care of this?"
Yu Yao didn't want to help Yu Lili, but she felt that people like Kong Lin should be arrested to prevent them from hurting others again and again.
Gu Qing probably understood what she meant and said, "It's not that we can't take care of it, but it's hard to investigate. But I think it's not an isolated case. Since he dared to do what he did today, it means it's not the first time he's done this. Even if it's the first time, the Kong family is not clean. Let me investigate this matter, and don't worry too much about getting hurt."
Yu Yao nodded and said, "I understand. As long as the evildoers are punished, that will be enough." She believed that if the Kong family really fell, the truth of the matter would be revealed.
Gu Qing thought Yu Yao was just frightened and quickly changed the subject. Yu Yao also responded to everything and seemed quite normal, which made him feel relieved.
But what was unexpected was that Yu Yao had a nightmare while lying in bed at night. Gu Qing held her in his arms and found that her body was hot and feverish.
Gu Qing called Zeng Yue up that night to accompany Yu Yao and help her get rid of the fever, and only then did he feel relieved.
Yu Yao had a dream.
In the dream, she was Yu Yao, but also not her, but the Yu Yao in the book.
She married Liu Yang, and Liu Yang's mother tortured her in every way. It was obviously Liu Yang's health problem, but in the end she pushed all the faults onto Yu Yao.
But the dream changed. Yu Yao got pregnant again somehow. However, Liu Yang accused her of being a slut and pushed her and her child into the water. The child was gone, but she survived but felt as good as dead.
"Ah Yao, wake up..."
Gu Qing was very sad to see her crying in her dream, and he just wanted to comfort her.
She had never seen Yu Yao cry so sadly before.
After finally waking the person up, Yu Yao felt confused for a moment when she looked at Gu Qing.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qing held Yu Yao in his arms and said with some heartache, "It's okay, everything is over."
"Gu Qing...wuwu..." Yu Yao didn't know why she was so sad, but she just felt like the sadness was pressing down on her like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.
"What happened?" Zeng Yue was still worried after going downstairs, so she boiled some hot water and went upstairs again, where she saw Yu Yao crying sadly.
After hearing Zeng Yue's voice, Yu Yao let go of Gu Qing.
She took his pulse subconsciously.
"I...Mom, please take my pulse."
Zeng Yue was a little confused, but she still went forward and felt Yu Yao's pulse. She didn't know whether she was happy or surprised, and said, "You are pregnant."
"What?" Before Yu Yao got excited, Gu Qing got excited first.
"How could this be?" They have been very careful in this regard ever since they had Taozi. They would rather not have sex without birth control products. How could she be pregnant?
He didn't want Yu Yao to have another child; having Taozi was enough for them.
"What's with that expression on your face? This is a good thing." Zeng Yue knew what they were planning, but since the child was already here, it was God's arrangement, and they couldn't just abort it.
My son really loses his mind when it comes to his daughter-in-law. Fortunately, he is doing it for the good of his daughter-in-law, otherwise Zeng Yue would definitely beat him up.
Gu Qing hadn't realized that his mother disliked him. He was just wondering what went wrong, so he asked in a veiled manner, "Mom, did you misdiagnose me?"
Zeng Yue didn't want to talk.
Yu Yao also touched his hand and it seemed to be real.
She knew that no contraceptive method was perfect no matter what era it was, and they did it so frequently that it was possible for something unexpected to happen.
No wonder she always felt weak and sleepy recently. It turned out that Taozi had a younger brother or sister.
"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. It's okay." Yu Yao didn't know whether he was encouraging them or himself.
Seeing Yu Yao like this, if Zeng Yue didn't know that Yu Yao would never say anything insincere in such matters, she would have thought that Yu Yao was sad because of having a child.
"Well, since you are pregnant, it means that you are destined to have this child. It's a good thing. Cheer up." Zeng Yue also knew that it was a bit frivolous to say this at this time, so she added, "Your father and grandfather don't know this good news yet. I will go and talk to them."
Yu Yao smiled only after hearing this. "Mom, please stop working. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. Don't disturb them from sleeping."
Zeng Yue smiled, "Yeah, look at my brain, your dad is fine, but the old man can't stand it. Are you feeling better? Why don't you go to the hospital?"
"No need, Mom. Let's go tomorrow. You should go and get some rest." Yu Yao's mind was slowly becoming clear now. She just wanted to lie down and not care about anything else.
Seeing her like this, Zeng Yue looked at Gu Qing, who was still a little distracted, with some concern.
Gu Qing was like a puppet, "Mom, don't worry, I will pay close attention to it, you go and rest first."
Zeng Yue walked away, looking back every few steps. How could she not wake up Gu Wu? The couple talked downstairs in the middle of the night without sleeping.
Yu Yao and Gu Qing upstairs were not in a much better situation. Yu Yao had been thinking about her dream all the time, and Gu Qing was also worried. He felt that being a pregnant woman was not easy, and Yu Yao had so many careers that she loved. The birth of this child was really too sudden, and he found it a little hard to accept.
But it was impossible for Gu Qing to say that he was not happy at all, because that was his own child after all.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Gu Qing was full of apologies. It was all his fault that every time he saw his wife, he always thought about that matter and couldn't control himself. Now he should take the main responsibility.
Yu Yao smiled and said, "Why are you saying sorry? Don't you really want this child? Then I'll just abort it."
“No, this is too harmful to my body. Next time... I won’t do this again. This will never happen again.” Gu Qing decided to ask Li Ziyu how to prevent Yu Yao from getting pregnant. If sterilization is the only way, then he would go for it.
Yu Yao didn't notice his little mood. She was thinking about the dream. She didn't know why she had such a dream. She just felt cold sweat on her back.
"Well, can you please heat some water for me? I want to take a bath. I'm all sticky."
Of course Gu Qing went there quickly.
When Gu Qing left, Yu Yao's face completely fell.
She touched her still flat belly.
Now that the child is here, it is her child. She cannot abandon him casually, nor can she let the child suffer any harm.
The next morning, the whole family looked a little haggard.
Gu Qing sent Yu Yao and Zeng Yue to the hospital early, and then he went to work reluctantly.
The first thing he did after returning to the base was to write a letter to Li Ziyu. Although this matter was not very urgent, he always wanted to know the solution in advance.
As soon as I put pen to paper, Cai Qi arrived.
"Boss, I have some news on the matter you asked me to investigate about your second grandmother."
Although there are many gossipy people in the village, everyone in the village knows each other, so it is easy to investigate the matter.
"The story came from a man named Wu Si. He said a stranger came to see your second grandmother and said he heard that there were relatives of your sister-in-law in their village and wanted them to help send his brother to Beijing University. Wu Si thought it was true, and the news spread throughout the village. Your second grandmother and her friends all believed it. It just so happened that the eldest grandson in the family was useless, so they set their sights on your sister-in-law."
Gu Qing was silent for a long time after hearing this. It was not too different from what he thought, but who could have done it?
"It's definitely hard to find out who it is, but it's a woman. Wu Si said she's very beautiful and seems to be pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Gu Qing couldn't bear to hear this and started to worry about his wife again.
Cai Qi nodded, "Yes, I am pregnant, but the month is not particularly advanced."
Gu Qing was a little confused and suddenly asked, "Is your wife pregnant?"
Cai Qi and Xu Ying finally got married at the beginning of this year, but due to their work, they have been spending less time together than together.
Cai Qi was a little embarrassed when suddenly asked this question. He shook his head uncomfortably and said, "Not yet, why are you asking this?"
"Nothing." Gu Qing shook his head, "It just suddenly occurred to me."
His daughter-in-law is probably not even three months pregnant yet, so he should talk to her later.
"There's something else here." Gu Qing felt that since Yu Yao cared so much about Yu Lili, he should help. Wait... Yu Lili?
"Someone fell into the moat yesterday. The deceased was named Yu Lili. Go find a photo of Yu Lili and show it to Wu Si to see if she was the one who went to look for him."
I don't know if it was such a coincidence, but since they happened at the same time, it's hard for him not to connect the two things together.
"Yu Lili, isn't that your sister-in-law's college classmate?"
Cai Qi often went to Gu Qing's family compound and had seen Yu Lili.
"Yes, that's her. She's pregnant."
She was pregnant, but died suddenly. "You should ask someone to check the situation of the Kong family and see what shameful things they have done over the years."
Although Cai Qi didn't know how these things were connected, with their connections, it wouldn't be difficult to investigate, especially since this was about insulting military wives.
On the other hand, Yu Yao and Zeng Yue have also completed the examination.
Seeing that Yu Yao looked really bad, Zeng Yue simply let her lie down in her lounge to rest.
As a result, Yu Yao couldn't fall asleep even when she was lying there, as her mind was filled with Liu Yang's ferocious face in her dream.
To be honest, there was not much connection between the two of them. Since coming to this world, she had only seen Liu Yang a few times. Yu Yao didn't understand why the other person left such a heavy shadow in her heart.
After thinking for a long time, Yu Yao could only attribute the reason to being frightened by Yu Lili's incident.
Otherwise how can I explain falling into the water in my dream?
However, even though she encouraged herself like this, Yu Yao still felt uneasy.
The examination results came out very quickly, and it was true that she was pregnant.
But unlike when she was pregnant with Taozi, her fetal condition was not particularly good this time. The doctor thought it was related to the mother's physical condition, probably because she was too tired during this period.
"The doctor said that you should rest well recently and don't think about anything. The most important thing is to take good care of your body. Do you understand?" Zeng Yue was worried and even had lunch with Yu Yao at the hotel before sending her back home. She couldn't help but give her constant reminders along the way.
Yu Yao had never thought that she would have an unstable pregnancy, so she had to take it seriously. "I understand, Mom, you can go to work without worry. I won't go out. I'll just go home and lie down and read a book."
"Well, if Taozi bothers you, send her to your second brother's house."
The two children have a good relationship, which makes the adults happy.
When Yu Yao is at home, Taozi usually stays at home and doesn't go to Yu Sheng's place.
But she is not noisy at all, just a little clingy. She likes to follow Yu Yao wherever she goes.
Zeng Yue meant well by saying that, so Yu Yao agreed and then parted ways with her.
After entering the family compound, Yu Yao did not rush home, but instead made a phone call to Shanghai.
The call was made to Qin Chao, who picked up the phone quickly.
The two are now considered brother and sister. Although they have never formally called each other brother and sister, they are usually polite to each other. Most of the communication even takes place through Su Ye, the middleman.
So Yu Yao has never taken the initiative to call Qin Chao.
Qin Chao was a little surprised to hear Yu Yao's voice.
"Yu Yao? What's wrong? Did something happen?"
He also knew that if nothing had happened, Yu Yao would not have taken the initiative to come to him.
"Um..." Yu Yao realized something was wrong when she picked up the phone. She was so suspicious of him before, but now she asked him for help.
"Just tell me what you have to say. I will do my best to help you in any way I can... We are a family."
Yu Yao felt that the other party seemed a little uncomfortable, but his words were indeed touching. Yu Yao did not hide anything and said, "There are indeed some things. That... do you still remember Liu Yang? Where did he go after leaving Wanyuan County? Have you seen him again?"
"What's wrong? He shows up again?" Qin Chao asked.
Yu Yao shook her head subconsciously, then she remembered that she was on the phone, and hurriedly said, "No, I just suddenly remembered this person. Didn't the waiter who wanted to splash dirty water on me in Shanghai say that the other person was in a wheelchair? I was wondering if it could be him?"
The other party paused, "Do you know something? Or did something happen to you?"
"It's a little thing, but don't worry. It's not very clear over the phone. Do you know where he is?"
"I'll check for you. If you have any questions, you must tell me. If not, go find Su Li. Some things are more convenient for him to do. Don't be afraid to trouble him." Qin Chao's tone did not reveal his joy or anger, but Yu Yao still felt his concern.
"Okay, I understand. It's nothing. Don't worry too much."
Yu Yao was worried that he would think too much if she didn't explain it clearly, so she explained it.
"Well, okay, that's it for now. I'll contact you later if I find out."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yao slowly walked back home.
She didn't know if it was because of the dream, but she always felt that someone was watching her, but she didn't notice anyone behind her.
In the next few days, Yu Yao entered a period of peaceful and nurturing pregnancy. She felt that the outside world might not be peaceful, so she spontaneously stopped going out. But with Taozi by her side, she read books and watered the flowers in the yard, and her life was pretty good.
The work she had arranged before was well prepared in advance, and most of them were set up in fixed patterns, so all she had to do was for her subordinates to do it according to her arrangements. Once she let go of the work, her subordinates would have more room to display their talents, and Yu Yao would just look at the results every day.
But if she doesn't go, her idea of expanding her territory will have to be delayed for a while.
Fortunately, Yu Qin is here. Yu Qin is really a very capable person.
If she had not been unable to continue her studies because of her family's poverty and had not had the opportunity to join the army, she would definitely be a rare talent. She must have been accidentally injured while serving in the army, otherwise she would not have been able to come to her place.
She was very familiar with the company's business, so every time she came to see Yu Yao, she could organize various documents very clearly and show them to Yu Yao, and Yu Yao could handle them easily.
But Yu Yao's life was not easy. Her pregnancy was not easy. Not only was the fetus unstable, but she also had various reactions. She was easily sleepy and felt nauseous during the rare times she was awake. She lost a lot of weight in just one month.
And she has a lot to do.
What he had said before had come true. Safety problems occurred in snack factories in Guangzhou and Shanghai, but these were all checked out by people arranged in advance by Yu Yao. What was even more frightening was that people from the supervisory department arrived just as the problems were discovered.
Later, after tracing the source, they found out that it was indeed people in their own factory who took the money to do the work, but they still couldn't find the person behind it.
Although everything was within Yu Yao's expectations, she still felt disgusted.
And the things that made her disgusted were far more than that. Gu Qing had already found out who was the person who spread the rumors about her everywhere, and it was the deceased Yu Lili.
The problem is that she thought Yu Lili would never cause trouble for her again, but who knew that this person was still plotting against her before she died.
Yu Yao thought about it for a long time but still had no idea what Yu Lili was trying to do. Did she want to do this herself or was she asked to do this by someone else?
If it wasn't her, then who did it?
"Have you found out? Is it certain that Yu Lili's death was an accident?" Maybe Yu Yao really misunderstood Kong Lin.
She felt as if there was a big net covering her from behind, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Now she was eager to tear the net apart.
