Chapter 33
Only after Lin An left did Gu Yuan open her eyes. She propped herself up and sat up from the bed.
Du Jiajia: "Gu Yuan, are you awake?"
Feifei turned to look at her, her eyes scrutinizing her: "When did you wake up?"
"The sound of the door closing just now woke me up." Gu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, his tone full of confusion, "What is going on now? Why am I here?"
Feifei put aside her previous doubts and replied, "It was the adults who rescued you."
"Where is she?"
"I can't come back for now. I'll be guarding you from now on."
"Oh." Gu Yuan responded without asking any more questions.
Du Jiajia immediately came to the bedside and suggested, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?
"Let's go outside. I saw during the day that there is a snack street nearby."
The two followed Du Jiajia to the snack street, walked around, and finally stopped at a barbecue stall and ordered barbecue.
The boss quickly brought out thirty skewers of grilled meat. Du Jiajia divided the skewers into two groups, pushing one group to Feifei and leaving the other group in front of herself and Gu Yuan.
Feifei pushed the skewers back and said calmly, "You guys eat."
"It's so boring if you don't eat anything during your trip." Du Jiajia advised, "Why don't you try it? This is better than..."
Before he could finish his words, Feifei interrupted him: "There are a lot of people around here, don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Du Jiajia didn't give up, "Then try it, it's delicious."
Feifei shook her head: "I don't like eating this. It will make me uncomfortable."
Du Jiajia muttered, "This is your mental block."
"Don't worry about me, just enjoy your meal."
Gu Yuan ate a few skewers of barbecue, then suddenly looked up and said, “Let’s go find Shen Weiwei again tomorrow.”
Feifei: “No.”
"Why not?"
“The Lord said that she doesn’t want to cause trouble for Shen Weiwei anymore.”
Gu Yuan: "When did she say that?"
"Before I came to find you."
Gu Yuan ate a few skewers of barbecue, took a step back, and said, "We just go and take a look, and don't disturb her. Is that not okay?"
Feifei: “No.”
Du Jiajia couldn't help but say, "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Everything the adult said had her own intentions."
"You are truly Sister An's lackey."
Feifei's expression didn't change. She just said calmly, "Whatever you say, I can't go tomorrow anyway."
Gu Yuan said: “I heard before that Shen Weiwei’s husband seemed to want to do something to her.”
This sentence finally made Feifei's expression change, and she asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Yuan: "Before I fell asleep, I heard him cursing. Shen Chenzhou scolded him for not knowing what was good for him."
“Something might happen to Shen Weiwei. If we don’t know how the situation will develop, how will we deal with it then?”
Feifei said in relief: "Watch from the dark, and don't show up unless necessary."
Gu Yuan: "Okay."
After returning to the hotel, Feifei did not go back to her room, but followed Gu Yuan and Du Jiajia into their room.
Gu Yuan went to the bathroom to wash up wearing a suspender skirt. The bathroom was a bit small and could only accommodate one person. When Gu Yuan went in, Du Jiajia was sitting by the bed waiting.
But the barbecue smell had just stained her clothes. Du Jiajia picked up the clothes, hesitated for a while, and decided to change them.
Du Jiajia picked up her pajamas and put them aside, glanced at Feifei who was sitting on the chair, and began to take off her coat.
When I took off my inner clothes, Feifei immediately turned her eyes away. She tilted her head and asked, "Why don't you go to the bathroom to change?"
Du Jiajia took off her clothes and replied casually: "Gu Yuan is inside. It's small in there, so I can only change outside."
"Can't you wait until she comes out before changing?"
"My clothes smelled like barbecue. It was terrible."
Feifei paused and said, "Then at least tell me."
Du Jiajia laughed: "I thought you didn't care about this."
"Next time, remember to tell me."
Du Jiajia smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
Gu Yuan came out, looked at their strange expressions, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Jiajia: "Nothing, I just found something interesting."
Gu Yuan: "What's fun?"
Du Jiajia looked at Feifei and stopped talking, "No, nothing."
Du Jiajia went to the bathroom to wash up. Gu Yuan wiped her face with a towel and asked, "What happened just now?"
Feifei: "Nothing."
Gu Yuan stood up and sat a little further away. She didn't say anything, just looked at the wall and picked up her cell phone to look at it.
Du Jiajia came out after washing up and saw Feifei sitting on the chair. She said casually, "Aren't you going home?"
Feifei looked at her: "I'll stay with you until you fall asleep."
"That's so awkward."
"Why are you feeling awkward? Shouldn't you feel more at ease with me around?"
Du Jiajia paused for two seconds, then thought about it carefully. It was true. With Feifei by her side, she felt much more at ease. She suddenly joked, "Luckily, you don't have long hair."
"Are you afraid I'm a ghost?"
"Um."
"Then you really have to be careful, or I might crawl into your bed at night."
"You're the one who should be careful."
Du Jiajia smiled and suddenly raised her foot and shook it in front of Feifei, "I haven't washed my feet yet."
Feifei slapped her legs away, "It stinks."
"hey-hey."
The next second, Feifei raised her hand just above her feet, and the smell instantly dissipated.
"You took my weapon away."
Feifei said calmly, "Less polluting the air."
Du Jiajia thought of something and smiled at Feifei, "I'm not afraid."
She sat on the edge of the bed, took out her shoes from under the bed, and took out the socks from the shoes and put them on in front of Feifei.
Du Jiajia put on her socks, lay back on the bed, and said, "Come on, I'm not afraid now."
Feifei said unhappily, "I'm scared."
Du Jiajia lay on the bed and laughed a few times. Gu Yuan didn't turn around to join them. She fell asleep with her back to them.
When they woke up the next day, they packed up and came to the gate of the community again, but this time the security guard was obviously not as good-tempered as last time. He did not let them in, and even did not let them stay at the gate.
"Go away, stop gathering here. Only residents of the complex are allowed in."
Du Jiajia: "Uncle, we didn't go in either."
"Don't gather here, it makes you look weird."
Du Jiajia wanted to argue, but Feifei held her back. Du Jiajia turned around, looked at each other, and said, "Let's go. Let's go now."
The surveillance camera in the community was damaged by some unknown factor, and Du Jiajia and the others climbed over the railings.
Du Jiajia: "Even though we weren't allowed in, we still came in."
They walked to the stairs of Shen Weiwei's floor and hid there. Not far from the elevator, this floor seemed to be occupied by Shen Weiwei's family. One family was occupied by an old grandmother, and the other was occupied by Shen Weiwei and her husband.
They watched the old lady leave, and after a while the elevator rang again. They thought it was Shen Weiwei who left, but it turned out not to be her, but someone they had never seen before.
Du Jiajia whispered, "Is it Li Jilan?"
Gu Yuan: "It should be him."
Li Jilan came here for no other reason than to quarrel. His friend had just told him that the woman Li Jinghua was keeping outside was two months pregnant. She went to the hospital for a physical examination yesterday and was seen by someone, which confirmed the matter.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Weiwei exited from the kitchen. Seeing that it was her son, she smiled and said, "You're finally back."
Li Jinghua came out after hearing the sound, but he didn't say anything nice. "You little brat, what are you doing wandering around back here for?"
Li Ji spoke, his words also stinging: "Come back to see my unborn little brother."
Shen Weiwei was stunned: “Son, what are you talking about?”
Li Jinghua pursed his lips and said nothing. He had not expected that Li Jilan would use such a straightforward and almost brutal method to completely tear off the fig leaf.
"I can't stand it anymore," Li Jilan's voice turned colder. "Seeing you pretending to be a good and magnanimous father every day, I just feel sick."
He turned to his mother again and said, "Mom, I wanted to wait for you to discover it yourself, but you have been immersed in fantasy and unwilling to open your eyes to see. I will tell you for you and see for you."
Shen Weiwei: “What are you talking about?”
Li Jilan looked at his father and said coldly, "He always pretended to be a loving father. I thought he really loved me. My family is different from other families. It is truly happy and complete."
"But that's not the case. He has a woman in our neighborhood and they have been trying to conceive. He wants another child."
"He told the woman that he didn't know where the bastard came from, and that he wanted to have a child of his own."
"Mom, look clearly at the face of the man next to you. He didn't divorce you because he wanted to trick you into leaving the house empty-handed. He didn't want to share his property with you, so he kept dragging it out. He's been trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds."
"He wants to use me to make you feel guilty about him so that you will agree to a divorce later."
"He wanted to push you away, but at the same time he wanted to keep me as a backup, thinking that if that woman couldn't have children in the future, he could still use me."
"He doesn't love us." Li Jilan couldn't bear it, but he still spoke, tearing the surface apart. "You've grown old, and he no longer loves you. He found a girl who looks a lot like you."
Shen Weiwei suddenly closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice: “Shut up.”
Li Jilan didn't stop, "That girl looks just like you when you were young. She's been pregnant several times before, but she couldn't protect the baby each time and didn't keep it."
"But this time it's different. She's already two months pregnant and in good health, so the baby will definitely be born."
Shen Weiwei was panting in her chest. Li Jilan wanted to move forward, but someone was faster than him. It was not Li Jinghua, but another man.
He patted Shen Weiwei's back slowly, and Shen Weiwei slowed down. Shen Chenzhou looked at him, "You shouldn't expose such dirty things directly in front of your mother."
Li Jilan: "Who are you? No, you are not a human."
"Who I am is none of your business."
Li Jinghua: "Mr. Shen? Why are you here?"
Shen Chenzhou looked at him, without any warmth in his eyes, and only uttered two words lightly: “You deserve to die.”
Li Jinghua suddenly felt as if something was strangling his throat, and his body fell to his knees uncontrollably, his knees hitting the floor with a dull thud.
The veins on his neck bulged, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he looked up at Shen Chenzhou in disbelief. He couldn’t bear it anymore and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on the floor.
Li Jilan no longer cared about who Shen Chenzhou was. He looked at Li Jinghua curled up in pain and did not hide his joy.
Shen Weiwei: “That’s enough.”
Shen Chenzhou turned his head to look at her, his tone unable to hear any emotion: “Are you worried about him?”
"If someone dies, it will be hard to deal with."
Shen Chenzhou disagreed and said indifferently: “It’s just getting rid of one person, it’s not a difficult task.”
"Then don't go on."
Shen Chenzhou remained silent, but still obeyed her and removed the pressure on Li Jinghua. The latter collapsed on the floor and began to breathe heavily.
