Chu Yuanzhi looked at his daughter unhappily, but Chu Qiao ignored him and even rolled her eyes. Chu Yuanzhi felt his heart stop. He also wanted to faint. His daughter was too hard to please now, he really missed the sweet and cuddly girl who used to be like a glutinous rice ball.
Gu Jianshe stood there in shock. He never thought that things would turn out like this. He didn't even eat a mouthful of rice, but he was so angry that he felt he was full.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Chu Qiao glared at him. Why was he still standing there shamelessly? He was really thick-skinned.
The breath was stuck in his throat. Gu Jianhe gritted his teeth and left with a livid face. Even if Chu Qiao was as beautiful as a fairy, he wouldn't marry her. He couldn't afford such a rude woman.
However, Chu Qiao's beautiful face appeared in his mind again. Even when she was yelling, she was as beautiful as a fairy. Gu Jianhe changed his mind again. In fact, as long as Chu Qiao gave in, he wouldn't be so angry, she was probably jealous of him and Xu Bilian, which was why she was so angry.
Women were narrow-minded, but being jealous also meant that Chu Qiao had him in her heart. Gu Jianshe was in a good mood again, and he was a little proud. Ever since he was young, he had always felt that he was particularly outstanding and handsome, he had Pan An's looks, was six feet tall, was strong, had a good family background, and was broad-minded. How could Chu Qiao not like such an outstanding man like him?
It must be because she was jealous that she was so angry. That was definitely the case.
The anger in Gu Jianshe's heart instantly dissipated, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Xu Bilian had to be dealt with. He had to coax Chu Qiao properly. Women were easy to coax, and he had his own experience. After coaxing Chu Qiao, he could get married, and there was no need to hold the wedding, it was his second marriage, so there was no need to hold a big wedding. Chu Qiao would definitely understand. October was the harvest season, and it was also the auspicious day to get married. It was set just like that.
Gu Jianshe, who was in high spirits, walked briskly. He rode his bike back to his parents' house and told his mother, Zhu Yuzhen, about marrying Chu Qiao. He even said that he would get married in October.
Zhu Yuzhen was also quite satisfied. She had never thought about whether Chu Qiao was willing or not. In her opinion, Chu Qiao was a burden. To be able to marry her outstanding and capable son was already a blessing that she had cultivated in eighteen lifetimes. How could she not be willing?
After Chu Qiao's outburst, the Chu family's pressure dropped to zero. He Jihong kept a straight face every day. She looked at Chu Qiao from the corner of her eyes and saw her as a thorn in her side. Chu Qiao pretended not to see her and waited for another three days before going to work.
However, she was very curious. Why didn't Xu Bilian make a fuss? Could it be that she wasn't pregnant?
But in her previous life, she was definitely pregnant at this time. In this life, there shouldn't be any changes. After another two days, Xu Bilian finally made a move.
He Jihong no longer had the mood to glare at Chu Qiao from the corner of her eyes because Xu Bilian had moved back and even said that she was going to divorce Gu Ye.
"I've already told Grandpa that I'm pregnant with Gu Jianshe's child. This is the examination report. The Doctor said that I can't do the surgery. Mom, I have to marry Brother Jianshe. Even if you beat me to death, I still have to marry her!"
Xu Bilian took out the examination report and threw it in front of He Jihong. She looked as if she was ready to face death. Gu Ye had already given her an ultimatum, and she didn't want to drag it on any longer. The child in her stomach couldn't be dragged.
He Jihong's hands trembled as she picked up the checkup report. She was taking ultrasound scans. Usually, the ones she took most of were pregnant women. When she saw the checkup report, she immediately understood. Her vision went dark. Without thinking, she said, "Abort. This child can not be kept!"
"No. The Doctor said that my body can not be operated on. Mom, do you want to see me die?"
Xu Bilian cried in grievance. Actually, the doctor did not say that. It was Gu Ye who gave her the idea. She felt that it was quite good, but she did not expect her mother to have such a reaction. It was too disappointing.
"Which doctor said that? I'll get a doctor to examine you again." He Jihong did not believe it.
A mother knows her daughter the best. Xu Bilian had been in good health since she was young. She did not have a cold or cough very often. How could she not even be able to undergo a small surgery? She must be lying to her.
"You just can't hit me. Mom, are you still my biological mother? You're all forcing me. Okay, I'll die for you to see!"
Xu Bilian cried and grabbed the scissors on the table, ready to stab her heart. He Jihong was so scared that she quickly hugged her. The mother and daughter cried together, looking extremely miserable. Chu Yuanzhi tried to persuade them, but all he said was nonsense.
Chu Qiao and Chu Peng sat on the sofa in the living room. Both of them were expressionless. Since Xu Bilian had returned, Chu Peng had to share a room with her. He was so annoyed that he planned to sleep on the sofa at night.
"How did you know that she was having an affair with Gu Jianshi?" Chu Peng asked curiously.
The rumors of the affair between the two were only spread in the courtyard, and no one in the hospital knew about it. Chu Qiao did not leave the hospital, so how did he know about it?
"If you don't want people to know about it, don't do it yourself."
Chu Qiao said some unfathomable nonsense, and Chu Peng rolled his eyes. He also said something inexplicable, "Keep it up!"
He hoped that his sister would always be like this and not go back to her previous stupid self.
Chu Qiao glanced at him. What do you mean, keep it up? He didn't even have a beginning or an end to his words.
Xu Bilian was still crying in the room, and Chu Yuanzhi came out exhausted. He had a headache from all the noise. Ever since his daughter had recovered from her fever, his head had never been comfortable. No, he had to go to the small treasury to comfort her.
Chu Yuanzhi went back to his room and flipped through the books on the bookshelf. Outside, he saw that he was reading attentively. Chu Qiao and Chu Peng exchanged glances and continued to be expressionless. In any case, the money had already been spent.
In the room, Chu Yuanzhi flipped through the books faster and faster, his expression becoming more and more anxious. He flipped through several books in a row, but where was his small treasury?
"It was clearly placed in this book. Where did it go? Did I remember wrongly... No, this book isn't there either..."
Chu Yuanzhi was so anxious that he was sweating. He knew that all eggs couldn't be placed in one basket, so he hid his little treasury in a few books. But now, after flipping through a few books, he didn't see a single note.
Finally, he found a rich book. Chu Yuanzhi comforted himself a little and flipped through a few more books. Indeed, he had flipped through all the books in the bookshelf, and there were only seven big unity books left in his hands. He clearly remembered that there were fifteen of them, he had just counted them last week. It had only been a week, and the money had already grown wings and flown away?
Of course it was impossible.
Chu Yuanzhi grabbed his hair with all his strength and put the seven banknotes into his pocket. The bookshelf was no longer safe. He had to change to a new place, but he had to find the eighty yuan.
"Qiaoqiao, Xiao Peng, did you touch my bookshelf?"
Chu Yuanzhi's expression was still calm, but his fists were tightly clenched. He was obviously angry.
"Your wife was reading on the bookshelf yesterday." Chu Qiao was even calmer. She didn't even blink.
Chu Peng looked at her in surprise and immediately echoed, "I saw it too. Mom was looking for books yesterday."
This pot was most suitable for his mother. His father did not have the guts to pursue it.
