Chapter 66: Only by being shameless can one win the beauty!

~8 min read 1,523 words

Lu Xiu Bai still had some luck; there was exactly one last portion of food at the canteen. After wolfing it down and getting full, he let out a satisfied burp.

"Brother-in-law, it's your turn to repay the favor tonight."

"Hm?"

Jiang Ye, who was still digesting the information and calculating how to deal with Mr. Lu's family of three, didn't understand what his brother-in-law was acting up about again.

"Digging holes! I also want to build a shower room for my Yan Ting. I also want to replicate the flushing squat toilet and shower device you mentioned in my own courtyard!"

Lu Xiu Bai announced excitedly. The only regret was that there was no dry well in his courtyard; he was a clever craftsman struggling without materials!

"How about we knock down the courtyard wall in the middle, or open a door, so it's convenient for our two families to interact? I can go to your house to get water to eat anytime."

"As you wish."

Jiang Ye wouldn't be stingy about such things.

Loving the house and its crow, he would naturally take the relatives his wife recognized under his wing.

"Let's go, register at the logistics department, get a shovel, and get to work."

Lu Xiu Bai was full of energy now that he was fed.

Hehehe, once the political review results came out, he could get his certificate with Yan Ting!

The two of them didn't get to know each other without fighting; he had gained experience from being beaten. He was thick-skinned; he wasn't afraid of being beaten!

Thinking of the social death event that happened at the hospital this afternoon, his face burned.

But so what? Could he win his wife back by wanting face?

Only by being shameless could one win the beauty!

Jiang Ye glanced at the time on his watch; it was around seven o'clock. If they slept before twelve, they could finish digging the hole...

At the same time, at the Capital's First People's Hospital.

In the ward, the patient who had just finished an appendectomy was pushed back.

The sobbing and the unbearable groans were so noisy that people couldn't sleep.

After Gu Yinyin got off work, she came to take over her classmate's shift, telling her to go to the canteen to get something to eat and solve her hygiene issues.

On the hospital bed by the window, a middle-aged woman with fashionable curly hair, looking weak but in much better spirits, patted the hand of the young girl beside her and said gratefully:

"Yinyin, thank you. Yue'er told me everything. If it weren't for you finding someone to help, I'm afraid I'd still be groaning on a bed in the corridor. Thank you so much."

"Auntie Liu, don't say that. Yue'er and I are classmates and good friends. How could I watch you suffer and see Yue'er sad?"

Gu Yinyin enjoyed the woman's praise and showed shyness on her face, but when she lowered her head, there was a calculating look in her eyes.

Liu Xiuying had a very good impression of the young girl. This time, when she was hospitalized, it was difficult to get a ward without connections, let alone get surgery as soon as possible.

Fortunately, her daughter had such a loyal friend who helped her secure the ward and surgery.

Of course, she knew in her heart that a young girl couldn't possibly have such influence.

Then, it must be the family background behind the girl that exerted effort.

Thinking that her eldest son was now in the Public Security Bureau, his monthly allowance wasn't bad, and he was still single, a bold idea came to her mind, so she probed calmly:

"Yinyin, do you have a partner now?"

"Not yet. My grandfather dotes on me and says that since my brother just got married, he wants to keep me for a few more years."

Gu Yinyin smiled shyly, telling the other party that she didn't have a partner.

At the same time, she hinted that she was very doted on at home.

"Yue'er's eldest brother will come to change shifts tonight. I'm worried about a young girl walking at night. How about this, I'll have her brother take you home later."

Liu Xiuying's eyes became increasingly loving and satisfied. A young girl so doted on by her family must have a significant family background.

If her son could marry this girl, perhaps his official career would go to the next level!

The two of them had their own thoughts and talked happily.

When Lu Yue'er returned, her mother was already very familiar with her good friend.

Concealing a trace of unhappiness in her heart, she raised a smile and joined the conversation after entering.

From the conversation, she discovered that her mother seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally steering the topic toward her eldest brother...

An hour later, an imposing figure walked into the ward.

Gu Yinyin maintained a polite and courteous attitude, nodded slightly, followed behind Lu Yue'er, and called out:

"Brother Qingfeng."

"Mm."

The man had sword-like brows and star-like eyes, wearing a public security uniform he hadn't taken off yet, looking stiff and formal, making people feel intimidated.

Liu Xiuying gave her daughter a wink, and the mother and daughter sang in harmony, asking him to take Gu Yinyin home.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng had no choice but to comply.

Fortunately, he had ridden the bicycle assigned by his unit when he came. It was left behind by an old public security officer who had retired; it was a bit old, but very steady.

In the first-floor corridor, Lu Manman was getting off work, lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, she accidentally bumped into the scene of Gu Yinyin pulling and tugging with a male comrade and getting on his bicycle.

Suddenly, her originally irritable mood was tinged with joy.

Great!

If Gu Yinyin, this trouble, was dating someone, she could move out of the wedding room she shared with Tingchen, and then she wouldn't have to worry about the other party being at home, and she could do other things at night...

"Yinyin."

"Sister-in-law?"

"Who is this?"

"Ah, this is... this is my friend's brother. He's taking me home."

"I see. Then I won't disturb you. I have something to do, I'll go home later."

"Mm, goodbye, Sister-in-law."

At this moment, Gu Yinyin still felt grateful to her sister-in-law.

She completely ignored that the man behind her was looking at her sister-in-law with a strange expression.

"She is your sister-in-law?"

A trace of imperceptible coldness leaked into Lu Qingfeng's voice. Looking at the back of that female comrade, his heart was filled with turbulent hatred.

"Yes, my sister-in-law is a staff member at this hospital. This time, Auntie Liu's hospital bed and surgery arrangements were all helped by my sister-in-law~"

Gu Yinyin didn't notice the man's strangeness; her heart was still fluttering, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at the man.

In fact, she had had a crush on her classmate's brother for more than a year.

It was just that the Gu family had strict upbringing; her grandfather and brother were watching her, so she had no chance to express her feelings.

Plus, her classmate said her brother had passed the exam into the public security system and was assigned to the Capital.

She thought she would never see him again or have any intersection in this life.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and a year later, they would meet in the Capital!

This was heaven's arrangement; she didn't want to miss it.

She learned that her classmate's mother was in a hurry to get a hospital bed and surgery, so she maneuvered in the middle...

Now, as she wished, she had gained Auntie Liu's favor.

Would Brother Lu look at her differently because of this?

"Heh."

Lu Qingfeng sneered, his gentle temperament gone. He bent down, curled his lips, changed into a nasty expression, and said coldly:

"Do you know that her mother abandoned everything for wealth and glory, took her, and clung to a married man?

You say she is your sister-in-law, then you are nothing more than that."

*Plop~*

Gu Yinyin's eyes were filled with tears, and bean-sized tears slid down her cheeks. She looked at the man with a heartbroken face, and her whole person felt terrible.

What did he mean?

Sister-in-law's mother was a mistress who climbed to the top?

"Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, I am me. What right do you have to insult me?"

Her upbringing from childhood allowed her to maintain her final dignity. After dropping a question, she stumbled, bumped into the other's shoulder, and walked forward stubbornly...

Her crush was clearly about to bloom, but a change had occurred!

However, this was also good; she had seen through this man in advance!

Oh no, and her sister-in-law!

Her brain suddenly cleared up, and she ran in a hurry. She had to go home; she had to send a telegram to her grandfather to verify something!

This matter was very important to her brother! ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
