For Yu Xiaobao, Gao's father is both his maternal grandfather and paternal grandfather.
She's still too young to understand, but that might be a kind of luck.
Gao Baoliang finally nodded at the bedside.
He agreed to marry the girl from the factory.
Father Gao needed to rest, so Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji took Xiaobao back to the compound.
Xiao Bao took a nap at noon. He was tired from playing in the ward and was now fast asleep on Chen Ji's shoulder.
The couple was passing by a daycare center with their child when a crowd of people blocked the narrow path at the entrance.
Xu Ruantang randomly pulled someone aside and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"They're arguing! Shen Youyou, the newest member of the performing arts troupe, is arguing with Jia Shuling!"
The woman who was speaking was carrying a vegetable basket. After she finished speaking, she realized what was happening and glanced at Chen Ji, who was holding a child behind Xu Ruantang.
"Commander Chen, you should go and talk to them. Your second aunt is almost fighting with someone over the Lu Company Commander's child."
Xu Ruantang's lips twitched.
This person loves to watch the drama unfold.
Her shout caused the crowd to spontaneously part to make way.
Following the line of sight, a girl wearing a beige dress with lace trim on the cuffs and collar was standing in the center.
She had stylish wavy hair and wore a hair clip in her hair.
In the sunlight, her small face was fair and clean, like a little white flower that stood alone in the world.
Fragile, yet undeniably beautiful.
Standing opposite her, her nostrils practically steaming, was Jia Shuling, dressed in a bright red dress.
She was holding onto Lu Xiaozhao's arm, her eyes fixed on him without letting go.
Chen Jiwei remained motionless, his face expressionless.
If there is anything, it's indifference.
Xu Ruantang was also silently observing, and concluded that this innocent-looking girl must be Shen Youyou.
As expected of a novel's female lead, her temperament is different from that of ordinary people.
Standing opposite her, Jia Shuling looked like a defeated pheasant; no matter how glamorous her clothes were, she still looked like a clown.
No one moved, but Chen Youyou moved first.
She took two steps toward Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji, a faint, polite smile on her face, and said, "Commander Chen, Comrade Xu, I am Shen Youyou, the new lead singer of the art troupe."
Xu Ruantang raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.
Shen Youyou immediately realized what was going on and continued, "Commander Chen has the most authority here. Please ask Commander Chen to help judge this matter."
"I came to the daycare to see Xiao Zhao today because of the time my child fell down the stairs and got a bump on his head."
"I've been resting at home recently. I'll come out as soon as my injuries are a little better. I'm really worried about this child, after all, I'm the one who saved him."
"Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the daycare, I saw Jia Shuling grabbing Xiao Zhao's arm, not only preventing the child from going home, but also interrogating the child about when his parents were getting a divorce."
“I heard her teach the child, word by word, how to slander his mother and try to get them to divorce as soon as possible.”
Shen Youyou's words were undoubtedly a bombshell.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Even though everyone in the compound knew that Lu Shishen and Wang Xiuxiu were getting a divorce.
But the child is innocent.
How can you teach someone else's child to drive a wedge between their parents?!
This is a very serious issue of conduct.
They haven't divorced yet, this is disrupting a military marriage, and they should be punished by being imprisoned.
Besides, what does it have to do with Jia Shuling whether Company Commander Lu and Wang Xiuxiu get a divorce?
Jia Shuling is the wife of the second son of the Chen family; she is not an unmarried young girl.
Could it be...?
Everyone was even more shocked.
"My God, is this really true?"
"I can't believe it, I must be delirious from the heat!"
"Comrade Jia, say something! What are you standing there for? Could what they're saying be true?"
"That's not necessarily true. Shen Youyou has only just arrived at the compound. Perhaps she misheard!"
"Yes, we can't believe only one side of the story."
"By the way, what does Comrade Shen want with that kid?"
"Didn't they say they came to see the child? She rescued Xiao Zhao from Wang Xiuxiu."
"Bullshit! Wang Xiuxiu has long since reformed. She's a good comrade now. She's the child's biological mother. Even if Shen Youyou wanted to see the child, why didn't she go to her home instead of sneaking off here?"
"Could it be that she also has feelings for Company Commander Lu?"
"My God, I've discovered something! If that's true, Company Commander Lu is quite the ladies' man, and Wang Xiuxiu is also quite pitiful. Marrying a man like that, how can she ever have a peaceful life!"
The crowd continued to murmur.
Jia Shuling couldn't hide her feelings; her face turned pale and then flushed.
In contrast, Shen Youyou remained calm and showed no sign of guilt.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Xiaozhao broke free from Jia Shuling's grasp and ran to Xu Ruantang's side in a flash.
Lu Xiaozhao hugged her leg and looked up, only then did Xu Ruantang see that the child's face was covered in sweat.
She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Xiao Zhao clean.
"Auntie, I'm hungry and I want to go home. Do you know when my mother will be back?"
The bump on Lu Xiaozhao's head hadn't gone down yet; it was still a big, red bump.
Xu Ruantang knew that Wang Xiuxiu had gone to the head office for a meeting today.
They're probably on their way back.
"Are you hungry? Xiao Zhao, come with your aunt to your aunt's house first. Your mother will come to pick you up after you have eaten."
Lu Xiaozhao nodded, "Okay, I'll go to sleep after I eat, just like Xiaobao."
Chen Jili ignored Chen Youyou completely.
This caused a flicker of surprise to cross her eyes.
"Chen Youyou, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"
Jia Shuling suddenly exploded, without warning, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'll teach you to slander me! I clearly gave it to Xiao Zhao, you liar!"
She rushed towards Shen Youyou, swinging her arm to slap Shen Youyou's face.
Jia Shuling believes that her anger is the best proof.
But to outsiders, she appeared to be angry and embarrassed.
Her attempt to silence him by hitting him further confirms her ill intentions towards Lu Shishen.
Shen Youyou showed no sign of panic; she quickly moved to the side.
Xu Ruantang could see clearly that she was originally able to stand very steadily and dodge Jia Shuling's attacks.
But after glancing outside the crowd, she suddenly turned and fell straight to one side.
Her movements were so subtle that Xu Ruantang wouldn't have noticed them at all if she hadn't been watching her closely.
The onlookers all assumed that she was falling to the ground to avoid being slapped by Jia Shuling.
The ground was scorching hot in the summer. Chen Youyou, wearing a white dress, would likely have her bruises on her legs aggravated if she fell like that.
The crowd sighed with pity, and some even tried to pick her up.
Jia Shuling hit someone with all her might, but suddenly missed, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Nobody paid any attention to her.
At the critical moment, Shen Youyou's arm was grabbed.
Immediately afterwards, her frail body was pulled into a strong embrace.
Shen Youyou hugged the person tightly around the waist, a smile curving her lips.
