Chapter 261: with translation of title

Hearing San Da Ma's words, and then seeing Liu Haizhong laugh, Yi Zhonghai felt even more displeased.

"No, you guys are ganging up on me, aren't you?"

"You really think I have no one to back me up, don't you?"

"You think because you have many sons, you can just bully me, right?"

"I'm telling you, if you dare bully me, I'll tell Shengli."

"My Shengli alone is worth more than all of you."

Yi Zhonghai fired off three questions in a row.

Since Lin Shengli arrived, his backbone has become quite stiff.

Others have always been very polite toward him.

But now Liu Haizhong and the others dare to speak to him like this.

How could this not make him angry?

Yan Bu Gui hurriedly said, "Oh, oh, oh, Lao Yi, my wife—long hair but short sight."

"I've been giving her signals all along, but she just doesn't get it."

San Da Ma grew unhappy: "What are you saying?"

"Who's short-sighted?"

"I'm not asking Lao Yi, am I?"

"I didn't say it's true."

"I'm just voicing what's on my mind."

"I don't believe you haven't thought that."

"Speaking of which, Lao Yi is really acting out of the ordinary."

"As the old saying goes, when things go against the norm, there must be something fishy."

"Before, Lao Yi deliberately kept his distance from Qin Huairu and her family."

"All of a sudden he's defending both Bang Geng and Qin Huairu."

"Anyone would think more about it, right?"

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Exactly, Lao Yi, you're really acting out of the ordinary today."

Having said that, he looked at Yan Bu Gui and continued:

"It's not me saying this, Old Yan, but you're being too hypocritical."

"What you think in your heart but dare not say out loud."

"Me and your wife are doing this for Lao Yi's own good, you know?"

"Although Lao Yi might not have any relation with Qin Huairu."

"But today he suddenly defended Qin Huairu and Bang Geng—so out of character."

"Those who don't know might mistakenly think Lao Yi has something going on with Qin Huairu, right?"

"So I'm also reminding Lao Yi not to defend Qin Huairu so much."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and felt there was some truth to it.

He was too anxious.

Suddenly defending Bang Geng and Qin Huairu in front of everyone—no wonder they'd think more about it.

He cleared his throat and spoke:

"Thanks for the reminder."

"How to put it—I also feel Qin Huairu's family isn't having an easy time."

"They've worked hard to raise their few children."

"As for Bang Geng, he still has no job and no partner to this day."

"I sympathize with them."

"But your reminder is correct."

"I'll still pay attention from now on, so as not to let people get the wrong idea."

"Otherwise my reputation would just go to hell."

"I certainly don't want to tarnish my later years."

Liu Haizhong: "Lao Yi, if you can think that way, then you're right."

"Well, uh, no need to thank me."

"But I still want to add a word."

"You, you really have nothing to do with Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened: "No, didn't I just say that?"

"I'm just sympathizing with them."

"Really, don't let your imaginations run wild."

"How could I possibly have anything with Qin Huairu?"

"I could be her father."

"I guess maybe I'm older now, and my sympathy has grown stronger."

"Alright, I'm heading back first."

"Remember, this must not be spread around; otherwise if Shengli finds out, it'll cause big trouble."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai let out a light sigh, shook his head, and left.

It seems he was indeed just anxious earlier.

It made Liu Haizhong and the others suspicious.

Fortunately, I was quick-witted, gave an explanation, and even brought up Shengli, so they wouldn't dare to gossip.

Yan Bu Gui looked at Yi Zhonghai's back and asked in a low voice:

"Lao Liu, do you believe it?"

Liu Haizhong stared blankly: "Believe what?"

San Da Ma: "Of course it's Lao Yi's words."

"I always feel things aren't that simple."

Yan Bu Gui nodded.

Liu Haizhong furrowed his brow and asked:

"What isn't simple?"

"You still suspect Lao Yi and Qin Huairu have an affair?"

Yan Bu Gui hastily put his middle finger to his lips, shushed, and lowered his voice to say:

"You don't want to live a good life anymore?"

"That's so loud."

"If it's just Lao Yi, we don't need to be afraid."

"Now his backer is Lin Shengli."

"Ask yourself, do you dare provoke Lin Shengli? Can you afford to provoke him?"

Liu Haizhong shook his head and said:

"I really don't want to provoke him."

Yan Bu Gui looked around, made sure no one was there, then lowered his voice and said:

"Right, if you provoke him, your twilight years won't be peaceful."

"So, regarding the matter of Lao Yi and Qin Huairu, we can only talk about it here, don't let it spread."

San Da Ma: "Right right right, Lao Liu, his Second Aunt's mouth isn't tight; you'd better not tell her about this either."

"Otherwise, it might slip out accidentally."

Liu Haizhong glanced at Yan Bu Gui, then at San Da Ma, sucked in a breath of cold air, and asked:

"No, what are we spreading? I still don't quite get it."

Yan Bu Gui scoffed: "So, Lao Liu, you're really old."

"Your brain reacts too slowly."

"You can't keep up with my pace, nor with my old partner's pace."

Liu Haizhong glared at Yan Bu Gui and said angrily:

"Stop pretending, who doesn't know who's old?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Who's pretending? I am old, I accept my old age."

"But you don't accept it."

"You can't remember what was just said, and you say you don't accept aging— is that okay?"

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and asked:

"You mean the matter of Lao Yi and Qin Huairu?"

San Da Ma: "Do we even need to say it?"

"If not this, what else could it be?"

"No, Lao Liu, you don't suspect?"

"Anyway, I just feel Lao Yi is acting very unusually today."

"He hasn't paid any attention to Qin Huairu and her family for a long time."

Yan Bu Gui: "That's right, it's this old woman who's attentive."

"Lao Yi once told me, the Qin Huairu family are all ungrateful white-eyed wolves."

Liu Haizhong became interested: "So, you mean Lao Yi and Qin Huairu, she, she has an affair?"

Yan Bu Gui looked around, saw no one, then lowered his voice and said: "Lao Liu, talk can't be spoken carelessly."

"When did we ever say they had an affair?"

San Da Ma: "Right, we're just suspecting, we have no solid evidence, this talk can't be spoken carelessly."

"If Lin Shengli heard it, that would be terrible."

Liu Haizhong thought and said: "But, you, your meaning isn't just this meaning, is it?"

"However, I find it strange, Lao Yi has already clarified, he's given explanations, why do you two still suspect?"

San Da Ma: "Because it's worth suspecting."

"Let me tell you, Lao Liu, my intuition is very accurate."

"I not only suspect Lao Yi and Qin Huairu have an improper relationship, but also suspect that Bang Geng is their child."
