Chapter 449: Chapter 449: On Fire Chapter 449: Chapter 449: On Fire “It’s terrible! It’s terrible! There’s a fire, there’s a fire!”
In their room, Su Yunjin and her husband Gu Ya both jumped at the sound from outside.
Gu Ya rolled off Su Yunjin, “Yunjin, you sleep, I’ll go check it out!” Throwing on a robe, Gu Ya got out of bed and went out.
How could Su Yunjin possibly sleep now?
After Gu Ya got out of bed, Su Yunjin also hurriedly dressed and followed him, “Husband, what happened? Where is the fire?”
“Yunjin, Liang Bo said someone set fire to our new house, you stay at home, I’m now going to check it out with Liang Bo.”
Gu Ya turned back to look at his young wife.
Su Yunjin grabbed Gu Ya’s arm in terror, her face turning pale, and even her voice changed, “Husband, are you saying our new house has been set on fire?”
“Yunjin, don’t worry, the house is fine, the arsonist ran away, it was just a couple of useless timbers that were burned,” Gu Ya reassured his wife.
Knowing the house was alright, Su Yunjin’s hanging heart finally settled down.
As long as the house is fine, that’s good.
Other members of the Gu Family also ran out, both the fifth brother and Mrs. Chu came over, and when they heard Su Yunjin’s new house was on fire, Gu Jianghai also wanted to go see.
“Third Brother, I’ll go with you.”
Mrs. Chu cursed, “Sister-in-law, it’s too much, who would be so vile? Setting fire to your and Third Brother’s house in the dead of night?”
Mrs. An, upon hearing this, was also frightened, “Yunjin, Third Brother, everything was fine, who would burn your house?”
In the yard, all of the Gu Family gathered, yet only the eldest sister-in-law Mrs. Zhang and the eldest brother Gu Jianghai were absent. Su Yunjin secretly surmised that the person who tried to burn her and Gu Ya’s house tonight was almost certainly the couple Mrs. Zhang and her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang had long disliked her and Gu Ya.
Not long ago, there was the matter with Gu Changshun, and that wretched Mrs. Zhang would certainly blame all her son’s problems on her as a way of getting revenge.
The dreaded Mrs. Zhang went and set fire to the new house she shared with Gu Ya.
But now, without evidence, Su Yunjin kept these thoughts to herself.
Gu Ya and Gu Jianghai left with the man who had come, and once they were assured the house was only slightly damaged by a few burnt timbers, Mrs. An and Mrs. Chu each returned to their rooms to rest.
Su Yunjin went back to their room but didn’t sleep; instead, she sat waiting for Gu Ya to return. The man himself soon came back from outside.
Seeing his young wife awake, Gu Ya was surprised, “Yunjin, why are you still up?” Hadn’t he told her to go to sleep first?
Was she actually waiting for him?
Su Yunjin got up and went over to Gu Ya.
“Husband, how is it? Our house isn’t too badly damaged, is it?”
Gu Ya had seen it himself; their house was exactly as Liang Bo had said, merely a few useless timbers were burnt.
Nothing else was damaged.
“It’s fine! Yunjin, I’ve seen it myself, our house was not touched at all, don’t worry,” Gu Ya spoke truthfully.
Once again assured that their house was unharmed, Su Yunjin could finally relax.
Then, Su Yunjin asked Gu Ya another question, “Husband, did they catch the person who set our house on fire?”
“No! That person ran away after being discovered, Liang Bo and the others chased after them, they only saw two people, but it was too dark to see clearly,” he explained.
