Ch 134: If There’s No Mirror, There’s Still Urine, Right?
Sun Hongmei took the money, and only then agreed to keep her mouth shut. However, Zhou Xiaofei wanted to persuade her to leave, but Sun Hongmei refused.
She had finally come to the city, eaten good food, stayed in a guesthouse with a shower, and even seen cars and buildings. All of this was new to her, and now that she had money in her pocket, why would she leave?
She was happily sitting on the bed counting money when she heard a knock on the door. Opening it, she found it was the guesthouse receptionist.
“Comrade, someone is looking for you.”
Gu Yuanzhou certainly wouldn’t go in and negotiate with Sun Hongmei. He is a male comrade, and she is a female comrade; it wouldn’t be appropriate to discuss matters in the room.
“Someone is looking for me? Who is it? What do they look like?”
Sun Hongmei didn’t know anyone here, and was puzzled when she heard the receptionist say this.
The receptionist girl, thinking of Gu Yuanzhou’s appearance, couldn’t help but blush.
“It’s… a very tall male comrade, and he’s very handsome.”
The receptionist gave a simple description, and Sun Hongmei’s eyes lit up immediately. This description was exactly the same as Shen Mingyue’s husband!
Why would that man come looking for her? Could he have regretted it? Did he want to abandon Shen Mingyue and marry her? After all, she was Gu Hongbin’s ex-wife.
Thinking this, Sun Hongmei didn’t bother counting the money anymore. She hid the money under her pillow, washed her face, combed her hair, and hurried out.
Gu Yuanzhou had been waiting outside for a while. Seeing Sun Hongmei come out, he politely asked, “Comrade Sun Hongmei, I have something I want to ask you about. Is it convenient?”
Although he looked down on Sun Hongmei in his heart, he still maintained the necessary grace in his words.
Sun Hongmei looked at Gu Yuanzhou, and her old face couldn’t help but blush. Which woman wouldn’t be shy when seeing such a man?
“Convenient, convenient.”
Gu Yuanzhou pointed to the side, where there were fewer people and places to sit.
“Let’s talk over there.”
Sun Hongmei followed Gu Yuanzhou eagerly.
Gu Yuanzhou stopped, pondered for a few seconds, and then spoke.
“Comrade Sun Hongmei, I’m here today to ask you something. How did you find out about the address of our family gathering yesterday? Was someone specifically notified beforehand?”
Sun Hongmei’s expression froze, and she immediately thought of Zhou Xiaofei. She had received benefits and couldn’t betray her.
Although Gu Yuanzhou was very handsome, she still had some integrity.
“I asked someone.”
“Who did you ask?”
Sun Hongmei stammered, “It doesn’t matter, Comrade Gu. Is there anything else you want to ask me besides this?”
At this point, Sun Hongmei’s ears turned red again.
Seeing her appearance, Gu Yuanzhou felt disgusted.
“Yes.”
Hearing Gu Yuanzhou say this, Sun Hongmei’s face turned even redder, and she looked at Gu Yuanzhou expectantly.
“What else is it?”
Gu Yuanzhou gave a cold laugh. “Because of today’s farce, my father and the others are very angry. They originally planned to report it to the police, but considering that you are my older brother’s original wife, I thought I’d give you another chance. If you don’t reveal who is behind this, we’ll have to take coercive measures.”
The blush on Sun Hongmei’s face instantly disappeared. She didn’t understand. What law had she broken? Why would they arrest her?
“How can you do this? What law have I broken? Why are you arresting me?”
“First, you gave birth to Nannan but didn’t support her, and you had an infidelity first, ruining my older brother’s reputation. Second, Grandfather’s health isn’t good, and what you said yesterday almost stimulated him. What kind of family are we? I believe you also have a general understanding. This kind of thing absolutely cannot be tolerated.”
Sun Hongmei didn’t understand the law, but seeing Gu Yuanzhou speak so eloquently, she was afraid.
She came to the city to enjoy life, not to go to prison.
She knew how powerful the Gu family was. She didn’t know before, but Zhou Xiaofei, in order to deceive her, told her everything about the Gu family’s influence and wealth.
Could a commoner like her afford to provoke such a family?
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t want to scare a woman like this, but this method was the most effective for this kind of person.
Sure enough, Sun Hongmei started to get nervous.
“How can you do this? Shen Mingyue is Gu Hongbin’s wife, and I am also Gu Hongbin’s wife. She can marry you and become your wife, why can’t I?”
At this point, Sun Hongmei couldn’t help but steal a glance at Gu Yuanzhou, and then continued, “Besides, what can she do with her delicate skin and tender flesh? I’m different. I can cook, wash clothes, clean the house, and I can also take care of children.”
Gu Yuanzhou never expected that she would have such an idea.
“So, are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’m going to the Public Security Bureau right now. I can’t guarantee the consequences, but you will definitely pay the price.”
Gu Yuanzhou was extremely disgusted and didn’t want to stay any longer. After speaking, he turned to leave.
Sun Hongmei panicked and quickly called him back.
“Comrade Gu, don’t go! I’ll tell you, okay? I don’t want to go to jail. I know I was wrong, but it wasn’t my idea. Someone told me to do this. Otherwise, with my ability, how could I find this place?”
What are common people most afraid of? They are most afraid of dealing with the Public Security, and going to jail is even more frightening. If someone in the village commits a crime, it affects the collective honor, and they will be looked down upon by everyone. As for their family members, they will also be implicated.
Sun Hongmei had also heard that they didn’t get enough to eat there, and had to fight with other prisoners for leftover food. With her thin arms and legs, wouldn’t she be courting death if she went in?
Gu Yuanzhou chuckled inwardly and raised an eyebrow, “Since you can repent in time, that’s a good thing. So, who instructed you to do this?”
Sun Hongmei looked at Gu Yuanzhou. At this moment, she no longer found Gu Yuanzhou handsome; she was scared to death.
“It’s your family’s younger sister, Zhou… Zhou Xiaofei. She contacted me and asked me to come. She said that because of Nannan’s relationship, the Gu family would accept me, and I could live in the city in the future, but the precondition was to get rid of Shen Mingyue. Comrade Gu, I was momentarily bewitched. Please forgive me. I’m just an ordinary person. Besides, I’ve worked hard, it wasn’t easy for me to be pregnant for ten months and give birth to Nannan.”
Sun Hongmei said, with a mournful face, begging repeatedly.
Gu Yuanzhou wasn’t surprised by this answer. He and Shen Mingyue had already guessed it was Zhou Xiaofei, but hearing it from Sun Hongmei’s mouth, he still couldn’t accept it.
How could the obedient and sensible Zhou Xiaofei suddenly become like this?
“Okay, pack your things and come with me. You must explain this clearly in front of Grandfather, so that you can get out of this safely. Then, I promise not to hold you responsible and let you go.”
Sun Hongmei no longer hoped to marry Gu Yuanzhou. She also knew that she was daydreaming. Now, she just wanted to take the money Zhou Xiaofei gave her and run away.
She immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation.
She checked out of the guesthouse room, packed her things simply, and hurried out.
The receptionist girl envied Sun Hongmei. She never thought that someone like her would know such an excellent male comrade.
Sun Hongmei got in the car, and Gu Yuanzhou took her straight home. Gu Jianjun and the others were still sitting in the living room watching television. Seeing Gu Yuanzhou bring Sun Hongmei back, they were shocked.
They thought they had finally gotten rid of this trouble, why did their son bring her back?
The others had the same thought. Fortunately, Nannan was already asleep in the room, and they didn’t have to face her biological mother again.
After entering the Gu family’s home, Sun Hongmei became even more nervous. With such a family, Zhou Xiaofei dared to instigate her to go against them. This damned thing has a wicked heart!
“Yuanzhou, why did you bring her here?”
Tian Shufang frowned, full of disgust. She had a very bad impression of Sun Hongmei.
“Regarding today’s incident, it wasn’t Sun’s idea, but someone else instigated her.”
Gu Jianjun was turning walnuts in his hand. Hearing his son say this, he narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
Actually, he had already guessed, but he thought that if no one pursued it, he would just let it go.
Ultimately, he didn’t want to put Zhou Xiaofei to death.
Unexpectedly, his son brought her back to settle the score, and he sighed.
Tian Shufang didn’t think so much. Hearing her son say this, she was a little surprised.
“Then what exactly happened?”
Gu Yuanzhou glanced at Sun Hongmei, “Comrade Sun, tell us.”
Sun Hongmei stammered and briefly explained the matter, then complained and cursed Zhou Xiaofei for being a terrible person.
Everyone present fell silent. Some had already guessed, while others were unaware.
Gu Sisi was dumbfounded. She had never thought Zhou Xiaofei was so bad before, and now knowing her actions, she couldn’t help but shiver.
She disliked Shen Mingyue, but no matter how much she disliked her, she was still a member of the Gu family. Zhou Xiaofei did this, targeting Shen Mingyue while also targeting the Gu family.
Didn’t she fear that she would anger Grandfather to death by bringing Sun Hongmei here? How could she do this?
Tian Shufang was very sad after hearing this. Zhou Xiaofei spent so much money to get her here, and she gave Sun Hongmei two hundred yuan to keep her secret.
It seemed she knew what she did was wrong, and knew how serious the consequences would be if the family found out.
But even so, she still did it.
Thinking of the things Zhou Xiaofei had done recently, Tian Shufang felt heartbroken.
She had raised her for so many years, only to raise an ungrateful person.
She did one thing after another, more excessive each time. If this continues, would she even kill someone?
“Dad, Mom, although Xiaofei has been raised by us since childhood, her actions have now far exceeded everyone’s imagination. If this continues, I’m worried she’ll cause even bigger trouble. Repeated tolerance won’t change her. I’m afraid that if we don’t take action, she’ll cause even bigger trouble later.”
As soon as Gu Yuanzhou finished speaking, the couple looked at each other. 「Babies, I need more votes and that ending update request, please! everyone! 」
