Chapter 492: Is There Still Justice!

~34 min read 6,708 words

Seeing Gelin placed the grilled fish on the table for everyone to pick and eat, while he himself took meat skewers and ate while busy.

Wang Yajuan looked at Li Xuewu holding the child and turned to Gu Ning, saying, "I never thought he would grow up to be such a man one day."

Gu Ning took a sip of her drink, looked at Li Xuewu's cautious appearance, and was also thinking about how he would take care of children in the future.

Wang Yamei couldn't stay idle; she had no common topics with the women at this table. They were either talking about children or family, or about pedantic things she couldn't understand, so she simply took her drink bottle and walked to Zuo Jie's side, listening to him and Li Xuecai chatting.

After the initial hunger and the first experience of the taste buds, everyone found common topics and gathered together to chat.

Some were two, some three, some four, and the twelve o'clock sunshine was just right.

Li Xuewu sat beside Gu Ning holding his daughter, listening to them chat.

Gu Ning still didn't say much, just listening to what everyone said.

Wang Yajuan also said a word when she caught up, and sat on the side listening when she didn't.

Zhou Ya Mei was talking to Zhao Yafang about making skirts; it seemed that spring had come, and every woman or girl's wardrobe lacked a skirt.

She was from Steel City, so she didn't know much about the "fashion" in Beijing.

Fortunately, there was no fashion to speak of in this era; the most fashionable might be uniforms.

The style of long skirts and fitted uniforms generally leaned toward police uniforms, and jackets were mostly modified based on lapel uniforms; it seemed that women at this time didn't know how to be beautiful.

However, the trend of the Republic of China period was still there, and various pleated skirts or short skirts were still there. From the tourists passing by on the road in front, Li Xuewu saw many girls wearing skirts.

But no one wore silk stockings in this era; they were all original big white legs, and at most a few wore high-top socks, which might be related to the cultural troupe.

The contradictions of the era made people at this time not know how to dress; they were testing, cautious, as if beauty was not so confident.

"Tired? Want me to hold her for a while?"

Zhou Ya Mei turned her head and happened to see Li Xuewu yawning, so she asked.

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "At home, it's always the old lady and my mom taking care of her; I have very little time to take care of her."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at his daughter's sleeping little face. Fearing she would catch a cold, Li Xuewu wrapped her in his clothes, and the little hat Yu Li made had never been taken off.

"Have you ever taken care of a child?"

Zhou Ya Mei looked at Li Xuewu's posture, which was still quite proficient, and looked like he had a little experience.

"Hehe~"

Li Xue, who was sitting beside Zhao Yafang, covered her mouth and laughed, whispering, "My second brother hates children the most."

"Looks pretty good though."

Zhang Xinmin was also sleepy and was being held by his mother, sleeping. Fei Shanying looked at her son, then at Li Shu, and said, "It's decent, it's pretty good. The child's dad doesn't know how to coax, just plays with the child."

"My second brother also changed after he transferred back and had Li Shu."

Li Xue explained, "I remember when I was little, I wanted to go out and play with him, but he wouldn't take me, so I cried, and my second brother slapped me in the mouth, and I never dared to cry in front of him again."

"When was that!"

Li Xuewu said aggrievedly, "How come I don't remember!"

"Humph humph~"

Li Xue hummed aggrievedly twice and said, "I don't hold grudges, because you were beaten by Dad after you came back from playing."

"..."

Li Xuewu looked at his younger sister speechlessly, feeling that many of the beatings he had received in the past were contributions from his good younger sister.

"Then I remember it even less."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "My dad beat me too many times; if I recorded them all, wouldn't it become a book?"

"Aren't you ashamed~"

Fei Shanying smiled and curled her lips, saying, "Now that you have a daughter, you know how to cherish the child, right? This is growing up."

"I don't know either."

Li Xuewu looked at the little person in his arms; sometimes he would think, sometimes he would feel pained, sometimes he would be so angry he wanted to spank her butt.

"Maybe I grew up when I saw her smile at me."

Wang Yajuan looked at Li Xuewu's heartwarming appearance and only felt a bit sad in her heart.

Girls are destined to be more mature than boys. When Li Xuewu was naughty and mischievous, she could already think of a lot.

She had also thought about the future of the two, but the more she thought, the more hazy it became.

Until they broke up, she had never thought about what the future of the two would be like.

She had never thought that one day this boy would stand in front of her with such an image.

Until she went to the street to pick up her sister, until she met him firing a gun at the ice rink, until she saw his concern in the hospital ward, until now, seeing...

"Taking care of a child is so hard."

Ji Yuxiu looked at Li Xuewu and Fei Shanying, as well as Zhou Ya Mei holding the children, and only felt she didn't want children anymore.

"This is just the beginning."

Dong Huihua said, "This little person, from the moment she is born, until she goes to school bouncing and jumping, you are like going to the West to get the scriptures; it's hard to mention."

"Hehe."

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Qizhi also complains at work that the child is too noisy, and it's a problem to work at home, so he feels sorry for you, and wants to do more at work to take care of the child at home."

Hearing her husband's leader say this, Dong Huihua was naturally warmed, looked at Sha Qizhi standing over there chatting, pursed her lips and smiled, "Where has he taken care of much? It's all me busy at home alone."

As she spoke, she said to the few who hadn't married yet, "Fortunately, he is someone who cares about the family; he never quarrels with me, nor does he bully me, otherwise, who would give birth to so many little monsters for him."

"Your family doesn't have many children."

Ji Yuxiu shook her head and said, "My second uncle's family, oh my, it's like a kindergarten; my head hurts every time I go."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Ji Yuxiu's appearance of hating children, the few people at the table covered their mouths and laughed.

"This appearance is just like me."

Sister-in-law Zhao Yafang laughed, "Our family has many children too; I am the eldest, and I was annoyed by children when I was little, taking care of this one and that one, and it was even more annoying when they cried."

"Hehehe."

Li Xuewu looked at his younger sister-in-law's little appearance and said, "You can still have a few more; our parents are in good health, and it's no problem to bring a few more."

"Hee hee."

Seeing her third sister-in-law blush, Li Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud, leaning against Ji Yuxiu and whispering in her ear.

Ji Yuxiu's face turned even redder, wanting to say something, but that was her second brother, so she didn't dare to refute.

This was the person who had the most say in the Li family now; who dared to refute what he said.

Li Shun wanted many children and grandchildren, and naturally hoped that his sons and daughters could have as many as they could, but he wouldn't force anything on the children.

Li Xuewu knew his old man's personality, and didn't say anything specific to Ji Yuxiu; in a few years, even if she wanted to have many, she wouldn't be able to.

Regardless of others, he wanted a few more children anyway, just didn't know if Gu Ning beside him was willing.

When Li Xuewu turned to look at Gu Ning, Gu Ning also saw the meaning in Li Xuewu's eyes, glared at him, and turned her head away.

Just as they were laughing, a group of young people riding bicycles stopped by the road.

"Yo! There really is barbecue!"

A young man didn't look at who was here, but first saw the meat skewers on the barbecue grill.

"Hey! I'm starving~"

Seeing these young people wearing green, it was obvious they had some connections.

Furthermore, one bicycle per person already distinguished them from ordinary children.

There were both men and women among these people, all around sixteen or seventeen years old, and not many older ones.

Li Xuewu's smiling face slowly turned cold. He really didn't expect to meet someone blind today while out playing.

The people who were watching earlier saw that they were eating, and had already dispersed, and no one was watching anymore.

Seeing that there was going to be trouble now, some people stood far away and watched.

Seeing Gelin looked at the group of people crowding in front of the barbecue grill and grabbed the fire tongs in the charcoal bucket.

He wasn't afraid of trouble; with one word from Li Xuewu, he could send all these people to feed the fish in the lake opposite.

"Everyone, everyone."

Sha Qizhi walked over and said to the group of young people, "Everyone, we are not vendors; this is our own family out to play, it's not convenient."

"What's not convenient!"

A young man with a giggling face raised his face and shouted at Sha Qizhi: "It's not that we won't pay; tell us how much money it is. If you look down on us, that won't do; that's not treating us like beggars!"

As he spoke, he shouted to the few people behind him, "Don't you say so!"

"That's right~"

"Hurry up and grill, I want this~"

A fat man shouted, reaching out to take the meat skewers on the grill, but was scalded on the back of his hand by Seeing Gelin with the fire tongs.

"Ouch! My hand!"

The fat man covered the back of his hand, staring at the fierce big man standing inside the grill, wanting to curse, but didn't dare.

But just as he was about to retreat, he was squeezed by his companions behind him, and suddenly gained courage.

"Damn your grandfather, dare to scald me, everyone up, mess them up!"

"Up, up!"

A group of people together had courage; seeing someone like Seeing Gelin, they weren't afraid, picking up the stools on the ground and about to do it.

"All of you, get the hell out of here!"

Zuo Jie carried a drink bottle, pointed at these young people and shouted, "Your hair hasn't even grown out yet, coming out to show off, looking for a beating, aren't you!"

"Yo! Isn't this Zuo Jie!"

A young man with a parted hairstyle swung the car lock in his hand, looked at Zuo Jie in a dangling manner and said, "Not acting like a turtle at home anymore? Running here to show off? What are you!"

Seeing that they were about to do it, Dong Huihua and the others were a bit scared, stood up and held the children, wanting to hide.

Gu Ning's face was also very ugly, but she didn't move, just sitting there.

Ji Yuxiu looked at Li Xuewu and didn't speak, but she lifted the clothes on her waist; this girl actually brought a large Type 54 pistol while out playing.

Perhaps infected by Li Xuewu, after the last incident, she also knew that status was not as powerful as a gun.

Just as it was chaotic, they saw another group of young people coming, also dressed the same, and riding the same bicycles.

"How is it, Lao Dan, did you buy the skewers~"

The one speaking was a young man with a mole on his face; he wasn't the leader, and the leader had his leg propping up the bicycle without speaking, with a girl sitting on the bicycle's crossbar.

"Go to hell, they won't sell, and they even hit Wu Qin Laoer."

The young man who was shouting just now shouted back with a dirty mouth, and then shouted, "But don't worry, wait until I beat them into submission, and they'll kneel and grill skewers for us."

"Hurry up, Jun'er Ge is hungry~"

The one with the mole shouted impatiently, and then watched the fun on the side.

Wu Qin Laoer, who was scalded, saw that more people had come, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Jun'er Ge, that little brat Zuo Jie is here!"

"Zuo Jie?"

The person riding the bicycle was older than the people around him. At this time, he tilted the bicycle, let the girl in his arms down, then propped up the bicycle, walked through the crowd to the front of the barbecue grill.

Before he even walked over, he had already seen Zuo Jie.

He also saw the drink bottle Zuo Jie was holding.

"Yo, brother, long time no see!"

As he spoke, he looked at the things on the barbecue grill, then looked at the tower-like man and the people standing on this side, and said, "Looks like you're having a leisurely time."

After looking at the food, his stomach grumbled twice, and then he looked at Wang Yamei beside Zuo Jie.

"Heh, you're still a romantic~ this kind of goods is worth your effort."

Wang Yamei saw that it was the person who fought last time, and when he talked about herself again, she wrinkled her nose and said, "How are you talking!"

"So what if I'm talking about you!"

The young man who was shouting just now saw Jun'er Ge coming, pointed at Wang Yamei and cursed, "You stinky circle, dare to..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by this Jun'er Ge.

It wasn't that this Jun'er Ge was cherishing the fair and pitying the jade, but that he looked at the few people standing here and they didn't look like people in their circle, and didn't look like people of their age.

Sha Qizhi was not young, and one look and he knew, Li Xuecai was a student, he didn't care, what he cared about was Seeing Gelin holding the fire tongs and Han Jiankun looking at this side with squinted eyes.

These two looked like they could fight, and... the one standing by the car wearing glasses and holding an iron rod, this is...

Li Xuewu also saw his big brother get out of the car, also holding an iron rod for repairing the car, with an indifferent expression on his face.

This big brother was not a flower bone protected by him like Li Xuecai; big brother had also been good at moving his hands, but he studied well, so no one remembered that he also fought.

Jun'er Ge was the leader of these people, so naturally he had to look at the situation on the field before making a move.

Generally speaking, fighting with children in the circle was nothing; both sides would not report to the police, each responsible for their own medical expenses, and at most fight back.

If fighting with children outside, it was basically self-responsibility.

But hitting people in society, or people like this who drove out to play, that was hard to say.

Generally speaking, those who could drive out either had some face in their unit, or their family was equipped with a car.

The former was fine, the latter was going to cause trouble for the family.

"Zuo Jie, you've grown up."

Jun'er Ge shook his chin and said, "Who are you following now? Tell brother, if not, brother will follow you, I also want to taste what these meat skewers taste like."

"Hahahaha!"

The young people who gathered around all laughed. They just liked this thrill of tiger roaring in the mountains, liked this wantonness of being both righteous and evil, liked these scars after indulging in youth.

Seeing Jun'er Ge satirizing the traitor in the circle, how could everyone not be happy.

This laughter made the tourists standing in the outer layer stand further away, knowing that these people were not to be trifled with, fearing they would get blood on them.

After the laughter gradually disappeared, and after Zuo Jie's face had turned liver-colored, a voice came from outside the crowd: "Sorry, he is with me."

It turned out that these young people swarmed to the barbecue grill, separating the dining table where others were hiding from the smoke. When Jun'er Ge came up, he only saw the people standing, not seeing that there were still people sitting by the dining table.

These young people didn't pay much attention to these women holding children; they were wild, but they also knew that bullying women and children meant they would never be able to lift their heads in front of people in this life.

Of course, Li Xuewu, who was sitting in the women's pile holding a child, was naturally ignored by them.

This sound came suddenly, forcing these young people to clear the passage under Jun'er Ge's gaze.

After the last young man in a green hat moved aside, Jun'er Ge suddenly saw a man holding a child sitting there looking at him with a cold face.

"You, you, you..."

Jun'er Ge suddenly saw Li Xuewu and might have been a bit excited, his mouth started to stumble, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Jun'er Ge, right?"

Li Xuewu looked at Xiao Jianjun standing in the middle of the crowd and asked, "Want to eat barbecue? Want me to kneel and grill for you?"

"No... no, no, no... that!"

Xiao Jianjun said with a stiff and nervous face, "This isn't what I said, I..."

Li Xuewu's eyes stared at Xiao Jianjun for a while, making Xiao Jianjun not dare to make a sound.

The young people around saw Jun'er Ge like this, and how could they not see that they had kicked an iron plate.

Jun'er Ge didn't dare to provoke, so they were even less so, and some sensible ones had already quietly retreated.

Don't look at them swarming like a beehive when fighting, as if they were righteous and heroic.

But as long as something happened, they were all for themselves, and not a single one wanted to live and die together.

Li Xuewu handed the child in his arms to Gu Ning beside him, then stood up and walked through the passage cleared by these young people to the front of Xiao Jianjun.

These young people were constantly moving their steps, quietly highlighting Xiao Jianjun in front of Li Xuewu.

Looking at the cautious young people, as if they were ready to run away at any time, Li Xuewu sneered.

"Want to eat barbecue?"

Xiao Jianjun's face had stiffened to the extreme, with so many people watching behind him, if Li Xuewu really gave him a slap, he wouldn't dare to fight back, and he might really not be able to mix anymore.

However, this slap didn't hit, but this insulting and belittling talk was enough to make him uncomfortable.

After asking this, he didn't become a beggar.

"Not eating?"

Li Xuewu tilted his head, pointed at Zuo Jie, and asked, "Came to look for him? Want to do it?"

"Li Li Kezhang, I..."

Xiao Jianjun wasn't sent away last time, but he was told by his family not to cause trouble again.

He didn't directly participate in that incident, and because his grandfather was about to die, his family didn't let him go.

But now it seemed he was going to cause trouble again, and the clever ones were already thinking about what Jun'er Ge should do.

"I was just passing by, really didn't want to look for trouble."

"Is that so?"

Li Xuewu nodded noncommittally and asked, "Then what are you doing surrounding me with such a group of people? Robbery?"

Xiao Jianjun looked at Li Xuewu, knowing that he had kicked an iron plate today, and must give this person an explanation, otherwise they would all be in trouble.

"Li Li Kezhang, you are a big person who doesn't remember the villain's mistakes, they are all children who are still in school..."

"Oh~~"

Li Xuewu nodded understandingly and said, "Okay, I won't make it difficult."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Kunminghu opposite and said, "Since you are children, and children with hot heads, I'll cool you down."

"Li Li Kezhang, no need..."

"Slap!"

Before Xiao Jianjun could finish his words, he was slapped by Han Jiankun who walked over, causing him to stagger.

Then they saw Han Jiankun take out the pistol from behind his waist, point it at the young people who gathered around, and say, "I'll count to ten; if there is anyone standing on the shore, I will arrest you for robbery."

Some of these young people had already touched their bicycles, but seeing someone pull out a gun, they all retracted their hands from touching the bicycles.

However, everyone hesitated, looking at Jun'er Ge who had been beaten, to see what Jun'er Ge would do.

Xiao Jianjun also didn't expect that Li Xuewu's subordinate would dare to hit someone, and now seeing that Li Xuewu didn't mean to stop him at all.

The five-finger print on his face soon rose, red and swollen, and he didn't feel the pain yet, because it was already numb.

However, it was hot, because the eyes of his brothers were all looking at him.

"Ten!"

Han Jiankun, who was usually silent, was cold-blooded at this time, holding the gun in his hand and gesturing at these young people.

Wherever the muzzle pointed, the young people there dodged.

"Nine!"

Seeing Gelin carried the fire tongs, his face gloomy, walked out and was about to do it, scaring these young people into jumping into the Kunminghu opposite in a hurry.

They didn't think about running from the two sides of the road, but their bicycles were still on the road, and they could afford to lose face, but couldn't afford to lose their bicycles.

It wasn't like they hadn't taken a cold bath; this bit of humiliation was nothing.

Besides, there were so many people here, dozens of them, even if someone saw it, who knew who was who.

With a leader, there were followers, and dozens of ducks were driven into the Kunminghu by Han Jiankun and Seeing Gelin.

This wasn't all; Seeing Gelin was also strong, with both hands, grabbing a bicycle in each hand, and throwing them into the lake after these people.

Because Li Xuewu had told him, whoever dared to bully him, deal with them to death.

Seeing that all the "green boards" except Xiao Jianjun were driven into the water, Han Jiankun and Zuo Jie, everyone went up together and threw the bicycles on the side of the road into the lake.

Those who jumped into the water earlier didn't dare to stay by the lake, and all swam inside; there was no other reason, that big guy was too strong, threw the bicycles far, and they were afraid of being hit if they swam too close.

Seeing their bicycles thrown into the lake, these people were also angry but didn't dare to speak, and could only wait for people to leave before coming to salvage them.

After the last bicycle was thrown into the lake, the tourists on the shore all laughed.

They were also annoyed by these young people who caused trouble, and today seeing them kick an iron plate, they were happy to praise them a few times.

Li Xuewu looked at Xiao Jianjun, whose face was cloudy and sunny, and said, "Why? Want revenge? I'm waiting for you anytime."

"Don't dare."

Xiao Jianjun looked at Li Xuewu and said, "But bullying people with power isn't very glorious, right?"

"Ho, you've really mastered the art of blaming the victim."

Li Xuewu smiled, looked at Sha Qizhi who took his ID to communicate with the park security who ran over, pointed to the "ducks" in the lake and said, "Do you know why I didn't throw you down?"

"Don't know."

Xiao Jianjun didn't know what Li Xuewu meant; at this time, he had been beaten, and his face had been lost, so he didn't care about anything anymore.

"This is the reason why you are still mixing with them at this age."

Li Xuewu turned around, took a meat skewer from the barbecue grill and handed it to Xiao Jianjun.

Xiao Jianjun looked at the meat skewer in Li Xuewu's hand, and very stiffly didn't take it, because he didn't understand what Li Xuewu was saying now.

"What? Afraid it's poisonous?"

Li Xuewu smiled and signaled, and Xiao Jianjun looked at Li Xuewu's eyes and took it.

"Hehe."

Li Xuewu laughed lightly and said, "Hitting you is looking up to you; if you were the same age as them, I definitely wouldn't hit you today."

As he spoke, he looked at the "ducks" who were being watched by Han Jiankun and Seeing Gelin by the lake, and said, "Just like you said, they are all children, I won't hit them, but I must let them have a heart of fear."

"Didn't throw you into the water because you are already an adult at your age and have to take responsibility. If something happened today, the first one I would shoot would be you."

Xiao Jianjun looked at Li Xuewu, the meat skewer in his hand trembling.

Listen, is there still justice!

So I was beaten and still have to thank you?

Thank you for educating me and saving me face?

Li Xuewu turned his head and asked with a smile, "You don't think I'm joking, do you?"

"No..."

Xiao Jianjun didn't know Li Xuewu before, but after that incident, he specifically checked on this master who dared to fire a gun in Beihai.

After checking, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If it were his jurisdiction, would they all have to go to the western suburbs for target practice that day?

Judging from the results of the investigation, this master was someone who loved target practice, both fierce and ruthless.

"Eat the meat, it's delicious."

Li Xuewu pointed to the meat skewer in Xiao Jianjun's hand and said, "Little lamb meat from the border, very tender, taste it."

Xiao Jianjun obediently put the meat skewer to his mouth and took a bite.

"Mm, really fragrant."

Actually, he had no taste in his mouth at all now, but he didn't dare to say that the meat didn't taste good, fearing he would become a target.

The blood just now was still hot, but now it was as cold as the brothers in the lake.

The young people in the lake couldn't stand the cold anymore, swam to the opposite shore in groups, and didn't dare to stay here.

Even the bicycles in the lake behind them were ignored.

Watching them leave, Seeing Gelin and Han Jiankun also walked back.

Han Jiankun put the gun behind his back and looked at Xiao Jianjun standing beside Li Xuewu with gloomy eyes.

Xiao Jianjun shivered from his look, and the meat skewer in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Gelin didn't pay attention to him, returned to his honest expression, and went to turn the meat skewers on the grill.

Li Xuewu patted Xiao Jianjun on the shoulder, took him to Zuo Jie's side, pulled out a soda from the drink box on the ground, opened the bottle cap with his fingers, and handed it to Xiao Jianjun.

Xiao Jianjun was also surprised by this little move of Li Xuewu; how strong must this person be?

Li Xuewu also opened one for himself, touched the bottle with Xiao Jianjun, pointed to Zuo Jie and said, "All from the same courtyard, there can't really be any hatred, right?"

"No..."

Xiao Jianjun held the bottle, looked at Zuo Jie standing opposite with a gloomy face, and didn't know how to speak.

"Zuo Jie."

Li Xuewu called Zuo Jie and said, "You two are adults, still playing with children's temper?"

Xiao Jianjun held the soda in one hand, put the skewer in the other hand on this hand, and then reached out to Zuo Jie.

Zuo Jie looked at Xiao Jianjun's face and reached out to shake it.

Neither of them spoke, but they still suppressed their resentment.

Li Xuewu didn't think about "seeking justice" for Zuo Jie, nor did he think about "reforming" Xiao Jianjun; he just didn't want the beautiful sunshine today to be ruined by resentment.

Sha Qizhi finished communicating with the park security, walked back, looked at Xiao Jianjun standing beside Li Xuewu, and said to Li Xuewu, "It's handled, the security section chief said there are leaders eating in the restaurant on the mountain."

"Mm."

Li Xuewu nodded, patted Zuo Jie on the shoulder, and said, "Get meat skewers for Jianjun, you guys chat."

As he spoke, he was about to walk to the table. After the commotion just now, the sleeping children were all woken up.

Some were crying, and were coaxed by their mothers.

Li Shu didn't cry, was held by Gu Ning, and stood on Gu Ning's lap watching the excitement here.

He hadn't walked to the table yet, when he saw some people walking down the steps along the mountain.

Perhaps it was the leaders the security section chief mentioned, Li Xuewu didn't care much, and there was no big deal, who could trouble him.

Fearing Li Shu was hungry, the milk bottle had been kept warm, so Li Xuewu took the milk bottle, pulled a stool, sat beside Gu Ning, and fed his daughter milk.

Li Shu held the milk bottle with her little hands, stared at her father, and then looked at the few people standing over there, very curious.

"Hehe, sweating from sleeping?"

Li Xuewu reached out and pulled his daughter's little hat down, fearing she would catch a cold again.

Gu Ning nodded and replied, "She's hot, I'll take her clothes off a bit."

As she spoke, she asked Li Xuewu, "Are you cold? Do you want to put on your clothes?"

"Not cold, still hot."

Li Xuewu smiled at Gu Ning and said, "Let's go to the island for a stroll in a while and take a few pictures."

Gu Ning smiled and didn't answer, straightening the little scarf around Li Shu's neck.

This family of three was warm here, but the troublemakers came again.

Sha Qizhi saw the large Red Flag car parked at the bottom of the steps with its doors open, a few people standing by the car talking, and someone looking over here, obviously saying something.

He was afraid that the matter just now would have an impact, so he walked over to remind Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu raised his head and looked over there, but suddenly opened his eyes wide, and then squinted and smiled.

The person wearing a Zhongshan suit standing by the car waved at Li Xuewu's direction, signaling Li Xuewu to go over.

Li Xuewu stood up and walked toward the car.

"Minister Yu, what a coincidence."

"I also think it's a coincidence."

Yu Huaiyou looked at Li Xuewu and said with a smile, "You're really young looking at you like this."

"Thank you for the compliment, leader."

Li Xuewu knew the leader's meaning; he must have heard the report that there was a group fight in the courtyard below, but didn't expect one side to be Li Xuewu.

Now he was pointing at Li Xuewu wearing young clothes.

Li Xuewu's reply also expressed his attitude, neither humble nor arrogant, which meant he was clear-conscienced and handled it properly.

Yu Huaiyou nodded, looked at that side, and seeing women and children there, asked with a smile, "Brought your family out?"

"Yes."

Li Xuewu nodded and explained, "Rare to have a weekend with nothing to do, bringing my partner and my brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister out for a spring outing."

After replying to Yu Huaiyou, Li Xuewu turned around, waved at Gu Ning, and signaled her to bring the child over.

Gu Ning didn't know who the person talking to Li Xuewu was, but someone who could let her go over must not just be an acquaintance.

Yu Huaiyou also saw the girl walking over holding the child, and looked at the child with some surprise, only then remembering Li Xuewu's personal situation.

"Is the date set?"

"Thinking about these two months."

Li Xuewu said with a smile, "It's just that my father-in-law has been busy, waiting for both parents to have time to meet and discuss it."

At this time, Gu Ning walked to his side, and Li Xuewu introduced, "This is He Yushu, Dad's comrade-in-arms."

"Hello, He Yushu."

"Hey!"

Yu Huaiyou looked at Gu Ning with a smile; he hadn't worked with Gu Haitao, but he wasn't a stranger, and he knew something about the Gu family's children.

When it comes to educating children, the Gu family's children are presentable, especially the Gu family's daughter; one family has a daughter, and a hundred families seek her.

"Is your father doing well?"

"Doing well, just always busy."

Gu Ning held the child and replied to Yu Huaiyou, knowing that Li Xuewu introduced her like this, it must be a private relationship.

Li Xuewu stood on the side and explained to Gu Ning with a smile, "I've already set it with He Yushu to be our witness."

"Yes."

Gu Ning didn't feel embarrassed this time, held Li Shu and bowed slightly to Yu Huaiyou, expressing her gratitude.

"Hahaha!"

Yu Huaiyou had just finished eating and came down to send the guests away, only then hearing the security's report.

But he didn't expect to meet Li Xuewu and Gu Ning.

His time was relatively busy, but no matter how busy, for Li Xuewu and the two, this "He Yushu" was still worth it.

The witness he set with Li Xuewu, Li Xuewu handled the matter well, so he naturally had to acknowledge it.

And being this witness was very face-saving; he hadn't had much contact with Gu Haitao before, but now he did.

Don't look at Gu Haitao's low-key and introverted personality, but he was a resounding tough guy, and also from a cultural background, a famous pillar in the army.

He was deeply valued and relied upon by the above, and because of the principle of only listening and not talking, he was placed in the key position of Yangcheng; no one dared to look down on him, and no one dared to look down on his son-in-law.

"Is this your daughter?"

Yu Huaiyou smiled and tapped Li Shu's little hand. This child who stared with big eyes and didn't recognize anyone even yawned impatiently.

"Hehe, yes."

Li Xuewu took Li Shu and handed her to Yu Huaiyou.

Li Shu stared with wide eyes, looked at Yu Huaiyou in confusion, and then looked at her father and the new woman she just met.

Why did her father just give her away so casually?

"Called Li Shu."

"Oh?"

Yu Huaiyou looked at the child in his arms and said, "This name is well chosen."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuewu and Gu Ning standing beside Li Xuewu, and said, "Face like a diamond, but can have a Bodhisattva's heart; heart like hair, but can bear a heavy burden."

This was his summary of his impression of Li Xuewu and the information he understood, which made the secretary and a few security guards beside him look sideways.

Li Xuewu smiled, didn't say thanks, nor did he say humble words.

He knew how capable he was, and wouldn't be polite or falsely humble with Yu Huaiyou, who had a private relationship.

"Won't delay your time."

Li Xuewu watched Yu Huaiyou hold Li Shu, reached out to take the child, and said, "Once the time is set, I will bring Gu Ning to visit you."

"Good, good."

Yu Huaiyou looked at Li Shu, who didn't cry or make trouble and was sensible, and could tell from the child's mental state and clothing that Li Xuewu really treated the child as his own daughter.

He had seen Gu Ning holding her just now, and knew that Gu's girl didn't dislike this child either, so he patted Li Shu's little hand lightly and said "good" repeatedly.

"You guys have a good time."

"Goodbye, He Yushu."

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning sent Yu Huaiyou's car away with the comrades from the mountain top restaurant reception.

Xiao Jianjun, who was standing by the car, felt his heart tremble, and even Zuo Jie, who was standing beside him, couldn't calm his heart.

They really knew who Yu Huaiyou was.

However, they knew Yu Huaiyou, but Yu Huaiyou didn't know them.

But both of their fathers had mentioned this former leader of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and as for the adjectives, they were probably much the same.

But they had absolutely no impression of him smiling while holding a child, and it was Li Xuewu's child at that.

Furthermore, Li Xuewu had never taken them seriously, and had never treated them as adults; they were unconvinced before, but now they understood.

Especially Xiao Jianjun, who had attributed the last incident to Li Xuewu bullying people by relying on his father-in-law's power.

Wasn't it just that? Gu Ning was at the scene at the time, and helping Wang Yajuan later was also Li Xuewu supporting her from behind.

If it weren't for a good father-in-law, what was Li Xuewu?

Now he knew, it wasn't like that at all.

This Yu Huaiyou and Gu Haitao were not in the same circle at all, so where did the relationship come from?

Especially the situation where Li Xuewu called Gu Ning over to introduce her, it was obvious that this was his own connection; what was Li Xuewu's background?

They had lived in the courtyard for a long time and didn't quite understand these twists and turns, always climbing mountains based on the relationships of the older generation.

To put it bluntly, it was rigid thinking; your dad and my dad were comrades-in-arms, so we are good brothers; if his dad is not in the same system, then you go aside, you are not qualified to call me brother.

Whatever happened, they thought about relationships first; those with relationships should be cautious, and those without should be beaten first.

Wasn't Xiao Jianjun's psychological state when he stood here observing this person the same?

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to the situation here, held the child and walked back with Gu Ning, explaining Yu Huaiyou's relationship.

Gu Ning also explained to Li Xuewu the relationship between her father Gu Haitao and those people.

It was very complicated; back in Yan'an, the composition of cadres was very complicated, and several directions and historical reasons caused the thinking at that time not to be very unified.

Yu Huaiyou, who was in charge of security, had no intersection with Gu Haitao, but he knew him.

Seeing the comments this morning, some readers said they couldn't get enough, so I'm adding a chapter today; I'm serious about spoiling my readers.
