Chapter 158: Chapter 158 The Consequences of Gossip

Gu Beihuai gave Uncle a strange look.

"I’m just asking you, old man, about the reason for Wen Wenqing and Jin Beiyang’s divorce. Why are you telling me all this?"

Uncle gave a dry laugh, "You already know the reason for that, don’t you? I felt that knowing just that wasn’t enough to understand why Tang Wanqiu got involved in the Jin Haidong incident, so I asked your Uncle Lihua for more details!"

Gu Beihuai shivered.

He couldn’t help taking a sip of tea.

"Uncle Lihua?"

He asked again uncertainly.

Uncle rolled his eyes at him: "Don’t react like that, your Uncle Lihua just likes men, it’s not like he’s committed some big crime!"

Gu Beihuai coughed: "He truly hasn’t committed a crime, but he likes my dad, you know that. If my dad finds out you went to see him, are you ready to run for your life, Uncle?"

Uncle: ...

Forgot about that!

His younger brother is that guy Lihua’s sweetheart, first love, the man he’ll never have in his life.

Uncle waved a hand: "We’ll talk about it then. What else can I do when only your Uncle Lihua has the inside scoop? Do you know who he’s dating lately?"

Gu Beihuai looked really at a loss.

He wanted to remind Uncle he was going off-topic, but seeing how excited Uncle was, he didn’t know how to interrupt him.

"Your Uncle Lihua is something else lately, mixing it up in Beijing, opening my eyes with the kind of people he’s associated with!"

Uncle chuckled a couple of times and was about to start gossiping about Uncle Lihua again, but Gu Beihuai couldn’t take it and quickly interrupted him: "Uncle, tell me the information you got!"

Uncle wasn’t happy about having his gossip interrupted, but he knew he went off-topic, so he coughed lightly, "After Jin Haidong came back, he calmed down after a few days of recovery, and he said he heard a familiar voice when he was tied up. Can you guess who it was?"

Gu Beihuai: ...

He gave his uncle a warning look, and Uncle said, oh, dear nephew grown up, not cute at all.

Can’t cooperate a little bit?

Doesn’t he know that gathering information requires some respect?

Gu Beihuai didn’t indulge him, so Uncle had no choice but to continue: "Jin Haidong said he heard his younger uncle’s voice!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Rubbing his brow, he uncertainly spoke, "The Jin family second son who participated in the Korean War and then disappeared?"

Uncle slapped his thigh: "That’s him!"

Still a heroic figure.

Gu Beihuai couldn’t understand, "If it’s him, how could he take action against Jin Haidong?"

Uncle shook his head: "I don’t know, but based on my analysis, Jin Haidong must have heard it wrong. Don’t forget, he only saw his second uncle when he was a kid. It’s been so many years; he must have heard it wrong."

This conjecture made sense, but for Gu Beihuai, there were still doubts.

"Can’t understand how this person is related, Uncle, shouldn’t you have found out more than this?"

Gu Beihuai set aside this puzzle and continued to press, and Uncle nodded.

"I also found out one thing, a member of Tianji died!"

Gu Beihuai quickly looked at him.

How is that possible?

If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Tianji was something he set up. Everyone is on vacation now; how could he not know if someone has died?

"Don’t disbelieve me, I heard it when I was having dinner with that sissy Lihua. He was drunk and said it. You know his skills; someone asked him to investigate, and I happened to know some strange things, so he revealed a bit to me."

Gu Beihuai: ... Again with Uncle Lihua, it’s really troublesome.

"Who exactly died in Tianji? And Uncle, how much do you know about Tianji?"

Under Gu Beihuai’s questioning, Uncle shook his head: "Isn’t Tianji just a special department directly under the big leader?"

After listening to Uncle’s words, Gu Beihuai was relieved.

It seems he’s not clear.

He pursued further: "Do you know who died?"

Uncle shook his head: "Only know it happened in that family compound of yours; heard the identity was exposed and they were killed!"

Gu Beihuai was more speechless; gossip is really just gossip.

Unreliable.

He pulled back to the original topic: "Tell me, what’s the reason for Wen Wenqing and Jin Beiyang’s divorce?"

Uncle shrugged: "She found someone else!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

Who?

"Wen Wenqing is getting married again?"

Uncle nodded: "This time the guy is more powerful. Heard he’s come to Quan City; the woman is here to scout ahead!"

Gu Beihuai was completely speechless.

Uncle’s news is really unreliable to the extreme.

If Wen Wenqing had really found someone else, why would she ask Tang Xiuyuan for money? And even less would she be dealt with by Tang Chuxia’s young aunt, as this matter has already spread, hasn’t it?

He marked Uncle’s information as invalid.

"Uncle, here’s a reminder, don’t discuss this with Aunt when you get back!"

Uncle asked why, but Gu Beihuai paid and left. He thought it better to accompany Qin Zhan to buy gifts.

When Uncle chased after him, he saw no trace of Gu Beihuai, feeling quite displeased.

The gossip wasn’t even finished, and now there was a puzzle left behind.

When he got home, he relayed this gossip to his wife, and thus ended up kneeling on the washing board.

He couldn’t figure it out, hanging onto the board and holding his wife’s leg, asking for a reason.

His wife was exasperated, "You still dare to ask me why? You’re so concerned about other women; what about me?"

Uncle scratched his head: "How am I not concerned about you? Besides, I’m not focused on Wen Wenqing; I’m just helping my nephew gather information and overheard some gossip to share with you!"

His wife was even angrier, "Couldn’t you listen to someone else’s? Why hear about Wen Wenqing? What do you mean by that? Do you think I’m less popular than her or less beautiful?"

Uncle: ...

How did it come to this?

But based on the principle of pampering his wife unconditionally, he started to praise her frantically, but the more he praised, the angrier she got, finally shouting at him:

"Kneel for the night!"

His wife ran out, leaving him alone in the room, kneeling, feeling somewhat dazed.

Didn’t his wife always like him sharing gossip? He’d talked about women before; why such a strong reaction today?

He couldn’t figure it out, feeling anxious, thinking if he couldn’t understand this, he definitely wouldn’t get to sleep tonight.

Not until he remembered his nephew’s deliberate pause when mentioning Aunt did he realize his nephew had misled him.

He was itching for revenge against his nephew!!!

If Gu Beihuai saw him like this, he would surely laugh at him for being deserving of it.

He told him not to say anything, yet he did, what else could it be but deserved?

Gu Beihuai didn’t end up accompanying Qin Zhan to buy gifts; he saw a familiar figure on the road and followed it.

This trip unexpectedly led him to discover an earth-shattering secret.
