Yang Yunhai drove to the entrance of Beishui Village, only to be surrounded by a group of children.
At this time, cars were a rare sight, and a jeep one that looked so impressive could only be afforded by big officials in the people’s minds.
He Yue’s house was in the middle of the village, easy to find.
As soon as they got out of the car, they could hear the wailing of Old Mrs. He in the courtyard.
This Old Mrs. He was much more detestable than Old Mrs. Gu.
Knowing that He Guoquan was not her own, she abused him mercilessly.
Not only that, but she even hooked up with her own uncle, making a cuckold out of He Guoquan’s father, who was also He Yue’s grandfather.
"You little brat, you dare to talk back! See if I don’t teach you a lesson today," Old Mrs. He screamed, holding a broom and pointing at He Yue as soon as the two pushed open the door.
He Guoquan stood there with a dark expression, while He Yue’s mother held her tightly in her arms.
Not far away stood a girl, likely He Yue’s sister He Juan, watching the show and occasionally stirring up trouble with remarks like, "Second Uncle, Aunt, aren’t you afraid of making grandma sick by protecting He Yue ?"
Gu Lingling silently cursed. That ’grandma’ He Juan called out so naturally—like grandmother, like granddaughter.
"Who are you looking for, Comrade?" He Juan suddenly noticed Yang Yunhai standing at the door, her eyes almost glued to him. This man was just like Song Mocheng, no, to be precise, he looked even cooler than Song Mocheng.
He was totally her type.
"Gu Lingling, what are you doing at my house?" Seeing the girl standing next to the handsome man was Gu Lingling, He Juan couldn’t hold back her anger.
Her name was the same as Gu Juan’s, so the two were quite close.
She naturally had heard about Gu Lingling from Gu Juan.
"Lingling, why are you here?" He Yue ran over in surprise, "Sorry for letting you see that."
"It’s okay, the same goes for my family," Gu Lingling replied with a smile.
Only then did He Guoquan notice Yang Yunhai, and he excitedly walked over, "Mr. Yang, what brings you here?"
If it weren’t for this young man, he didn’t know where he’d be now.
If things had gone bad for him, with a troublesome mother like that, his family would likely have fallen apart.
"I have something to discuss with you. Is there a place we can talk privately?" Yang Yunhai asked.
"Let’s go to my car," Yang Yunhai interrupted him, then headed towards the door.
He Guoquan followed behind, feeling embarrassed.
"Gu Lingling, I’m talking to you, didn’t you hear?" He Juan felt extremely upset being ignored and glared at Gu Lingling with a sullen face, "Just as expected of a bastard raised without a mother’s guidance."
"What did you say?" Gu Lingling looked at He Juan, knowing that she and Gu Juan had probably often cursed her .
"You don’t have a mother..."
’Smack, smack’ Gu Lingling slapped her twice, "You’re the bastard. Your dad was a bastard, your whole family are bastards."
He Juan’s father was secretly born from an affair between Old Mrs. He and He Guoquan’s uncle, so what else would you call it?
"Gu Lingling, you actually hit me in my house! See if I don’t tear your mouth apart," He Juan howled, covering her face.
While Old Mrs. He was shocked by Gu Lingling’s words ’your dad was a bastard’, feeling guilty as a thief.
"If your mouth doesn’t behave, I don’t care where we are," Gu Lingling looked coldly at He Juan, "I’m not someone like He Yue you can bully so easily."
Gu Lingling discovered that she was getting addicted to hitting people.
Although her hand hurt a bit, at least she felt much less aggrieved inside—what a relief!
"He Yue, let me tell you, sometimes you can’t be too soft. People will take advantage of that, you know?"
And then... they just left.
"Oh, right, just to be clear, I, Gu Lingling, was the one who hit you. Come at me if you dare, I’ll be waiting."
He Juan spat a mouthful of blood in rage.
