Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Consistent Character Setting (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Jin Lingshan)

On this point, Meng Siqi couldn’t find a single fault.

It was said that when Qiao Qingyu married He Xiuyu, she nearly died of anger, even going so far as to cut off contact with her daughter.

So now, she thought that this old thing must have someone on the side and might even have fathered a child.

It wasn’t strange or just her imagination.

Just a few days ago, a female college student who hadn’t even graduated yet knelt at the entrance of the compound with a three-month-old baby.

She claimed that the child belonged to Liu Hai, the director of infrastructure who lived in the building opposite her house.

The child was sick, she had no money, and she couldn’t get in touch with Liu Hai; with no other option, the college girl had to bring the child to the compound to find him.

At the time, Liu Hai’s wife, who was also her close friend, got so angry that her heart condition flared up and she was sent to the hospital.

Liu Hai was already over fifty, and his children were all settled down.

But who could have guessed he would stir up such a mess?

The child was indeed his, and he had even kept this woman on the side for three years already.

As it turned out, the woman’s college admission wasn’t earned through exams; he had pulled strings to get her in.

He had thought of keeping her on the side, enjoying the young body from time to time.

But he hadn’t expected to get her pregnant.

At that time, getting an abortion was not so easy; you needed a referral letter and a marriage certificate.

Besides, with the college student pleading desperately, the child ended up being kept after all. Just that he had been away on a business trip for a month recently, and who could have thought that the woman would run out of money and the child would fall seriously ill?

So that’s how the scandal came to light.

Naturally, Liu Hai wouldn’t end up with a good outcome.

The college student was expelled from school, and after leaving the baby at the compound’s entrance, she returned to her hometown.

So now, this baby was staying in Liu Hai’s house.

Tell me, isn’t this matter disgusting?

Because the affair was so sensational and relatable, the women in the compound all had more or less suspicion towards their husbands.

Meng Siqi was confident; she knew her husband’s character wouldn’t allow for such things, but now, seeing him like this, how could her heart not waver?

Even her mind was thinking, if it really came to light there was a child, oh my god, let’s not live anymore; let’s all jump off a building together.

She certainly wouldn’t help raise someone else’s child!

Watching Meng Siqi’s face change colors continuously, He Shan became so angry that his face turned ashen.

How could he not know what Meng Siqi was thinking at this moment? Therefore, he thought, he must maintain his consistent character and couldn’t play any sentimental games.

With anger, he reprimanded loudly, "I think you’re quite ill, you should go back to the hospital right away and have your brain checked. And let me tell you, don’t associate such filthy business with me, He Shan. It’s an insult to me, understand?"

Meng Siqi looked at him suspiciously and seeing Old He already so incensed, she finally mumbled, "If there’s nothing, that’s best. But if there is, I won’t let you off."

He Shan snorted through his nose, turned his back, and strode off in a huff.

Meng Siqi slowly calmed down, and then the corners of her mouth inevitably curled upwards.

Thus, that night, this old married couple unexpectedly had a moment of tenderness.

...

He Xiuyu learned ’definite’ news from some source—they said Han Xianglan was not Wu Xiucai’s daughter.

So now, Wu Xiujie stopped paying attention to Han Xianglan and the Qiao Family.

However, Wu Xiucai planned to find time to meet Qiao Qingyu.

He probably just wanted to see with his own eyes whether this Qiao Qingyu really looked so much like his wife.

The specific timing hadn’t been determined yet,

but Qiao Qingyu made a call to the Qiao Family Team.

Han Xianglan, who picked up the phone, had no particular reaction, simply saying "I know," before quickly asking about Qingyu’s recent situation. Qiao Zhicai was alongside her.

Their concern for their daughter was genuine, and Han Xianglan had no interest in her own origins.

She had moved past the time of being interested.

Now, she just hoped for her children’s lives to keep getting better, and if she and her husband could live well and see their grandchildren grow up, that would be the best.

Qiao Qingyu thought this mindset was good.

...

She had originally planned to visit Nangang City after half a month, but the trip was delayed again because He Xiuyu had urgent matters to attend to.

...

It was Sunday, and He Xuerong had run off to play at Xiao Hu’s house.

Li Mingguang was now living in a room by himself, which Li Zhiqiang had furnished with a desk and bookshelf. Then he built a small kang (traditional heated bed), which was laid with a new mat.

The walls were also adorned with several paintings by Xiao Hu himself.

Xiao Hu had been living in this room alone for a week now.

Holding her little hands behind her back, He Xuerong walked around the room once and then thought of her own bedroom.

Ah, that’s right, she also had a bedroom now.

Li Mingguang happily said, "I asked my dad to make the desk specifically for two people to use together, you see, there are two chairs, so you can come over to do your homework at my place too."

He Xuerong pursed her lips and replied, "Even if there are two chairs, does your house have as many books as mine?"

Li Mingguang shook his head, "No, your house has the most books in our compound."

"Then where to do the homework?"

"At your place," Xiao Hu turned his eyes and nodded obediently.

He Xurerong smiled proudly, walked around his room once more, then dashed back home and pulled Qiao Qingyu toward her bedroom.

He Xuerong’s bedroom lacked nothing.

Except there was only one chair, but it was much larger than Li Mingguang’s.

It also had a small kang, but it wasn’t lit during the winter, so the room’s door was often closed; when opened, a burst of cold air rushed in.

Qiao Qingyu pulled He Xuerong aside, "Rongrong, what are you doing?"

"Little aunt, Li Mingguang has his own bedroom now, complete with his own desk and chair. He just showed it off to me."

"Xiao Hu is six years old now; he can have his own bedroom and private space."

"Little aunt, I’ll be six come New Year’s too," He Xuerong shook Qiao Qingyu’s hand, "Little aunt, I want to have my own bedroom and private space too."

"You’re still too young, and it’s a bit cold in winter. It’s better to stay with little aunt."

Qiao Qingyu wasn’t annoyed by the hassle, she genuinely disagreed.

But He Xiuyu, who had been in the study, came out and agreed, "Rongrong, uncle is very happy you have this thought. You can try it out. If you think it’s fine, then you can live in your own bedroom from now on. If you don’t like it, you can always come back and live with uncle and little aunt."

He Xuerong clapped her hands, "This is a good idea, uncle, quickly light the kang for me, I want it nice and warm..."

He Xuerong ran to the bathroom to fetch water to clean the rags and started wiping down the table.

Her luggage was all stored in Qiao Qingyu’s room, brand new, waiting for when she was a little older to move into her own room.

Seeing how excited He Xuerong was, Qiao Qingyu felt it was alright.

She had been worried that the kang, not being lit regularly, would release smoke, after all, the flue in He Xiuyu’s room had never been properly fixed. But unexpectedly, aside from a little smoke initially, the flue worked exceptionally well.
