Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 391 - 390: Asking for a Beating, Isn’t It?

Chapter 391: Chapter 390: Asking for a Beating, Isn’t It?

Qian Chunli was indeed hiding, hidden inside the double-doored wardrobe.

She heard the front door and thought it was her daughter, Lin Yu, coming to bring her food.

But as she looked from the window towards the front door, she saw Chen Gang entering with a woman, the two of them turned to lock the door, and walked into the house, arms around each other’s waists.

That kid had seemed decent, but now he was bringing home another woman!

Her Xiaoyu was pregnant with his child!

Qian Chunli was beyond furious, yet considering her current predicament, she had no choice but to bide her time and stay hidden.

Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn’t entered the room yet, she anxiously hid herself in the wardrobe.

Chen Gang, with his arm around his lover, noticed the bedroom door wasn’t locked and muttered to himself in surprise. There were only two keys to this place, one with him and the other with Lin Yu. Had Lin Yu come by at some point?

This thought fleetingly crossed his mind, causing a slight rush of tension and annoyance.

He truly regretted the accident of getting Lin Yu pregnant, followed by her clinging to him afterward.

Now, as Lin Yu’s pregnancy advanced and her appearance changed, not only did she become unpleasant to look at, but he also couldn’t do ’that’ anymore, leaving him incredibly frustrated.

Once in the bedroom, Chen Gang glanced casually around the room before hastily pressing the woman down onto the kang bed.

The woman, with feigned shyness, played hard to get, "Brother Gangzi! What’s the rush?"

"Darling sister! I’ve missed you to death! Let your brother cherish you..."

The woman, still playing hard to get, said, "Be gentle... Brother Gangzi..."

The young couple had come here for one reason only, and naturally, they didn’t want to waste a second.

Afterward, Chen Gang still held his lover close as he whispered sweet nothings to her. Only after the woman coquettishly said she wanted to buy clothes did he dress and leave with her.

Inside the wardrobe, Qian Chunli’s tears were already silently streaming down her face. What kind of fate did her daughter have, tied to such a man!

But now, Lin Yu’s belly was so big, and with just a couple of months left before the birth, how could they not stay together at such a time?

She herself had gotten entangled in this mess. Once Chen Gang’s family found out, who knew how they’d treat her daughter!

She was filled with regret, slapping herself on the face twice before bursting into loud sobs.

She cried for her daughter and for herself.

When Lin Yu arrived with two police officers, she was surprised to open the unlocked door and felt utterly bewildered.

Seeing Qian Chunli’s tear-streaked, swollen face, she asked anxiously, "Mom! What happened to you?" How did you end up crying like this? Did Chen Gang come over?

"It’s nothing!" Seeing the police, Qian Chunli’s legs trembled with fear; now, she felt even less able to reveal the affair between Chen Gang and another woman to them.

The young police officer asked coldly, "Are you Qian Chunli?"

"Yes, I am!" Qian Chunli quickly nodded.

"Come with us to the station. We need to discuss a few things with you!"

"Alright!" Qian Chunli dared not breathe too heavily. Although she somewhat understood that she shouldn’t be in much trouble since she wasn’t involved in injuring Lin Aiguo, with these sort of matters, who could say for sure whether they wouldn’t falsely accuse her of a crime.

Lin Yu, wiping away tears, thought about Daming being arrested and how her mother’s continual hiding wasn’t a solution.

Besides, the police had come looking for her, so she dared not deny it anymore.

She followed the officers outside, and suddenly, with sharp eyes, she noticed a bunch of dark pink toilet paper in the kitchen’s empty pail, vaguely spotting something that looked like mucus on it;

Combining the fact that the door was locked before and the smell that greeted her as she entered the bedroom, an ominous premonition began to rise in her heart...

Yu Qiushui and Chen Zhaodi, at their wit’s end, dragged their heavy steps back to the temporary shelter of the Station Front Hostel.

To save money, the mother and son shared a room with several other people.

Yu Qiushui, after using the bathroom outside, came back to find the men who had been staying in the room were gone.

Only three burly, menacing men remained, which made his heart pound.

He nodded and smiled obsequiously, ready to turn around and leave, when suddenly a man guarding the door kicked it shut with a loud bang.

The sound not only made the glass on the door shake but also sent shivers down Yu Qiushui’s spine.

Yu Qiushui looked at the men in fear, uncertain of what they wanted to do.

"Gentlemen! I’m not sure where I may have misstepped! It’s my first time in your esteemed place, I implore you to be lenient!" He could tell that these men were not to be trifled with and all of them were skilled with their hands.

Back in his youth, he used to be part of the scene, but now he was older, and one man up against three was no joke, was it?

One of them snorted coldly and stepped forward, smacking Yu Qiushui’s face lightly twice, "Today, little man, I find you quite pleasing to the eye! I want to know where you’re from and what you’re here for. If you lie and annoy me, you can count on a beating!"

"I’m from..." Yu Qiushui thought these couldn’t be people Lin Xia had sent, for if they were, why would they bother talking? They’d just beat him up directly.

But he couldn’t discern who had sent these men or what they wanted—whether it was money or something else.

"Asking for a beating, aren’t you?" The man saw Yu Qiushui’s hesitating gaze darting around and raised his hand to hit him.

Frightened, Yu Qiushui quickly covered his head and said, "I’m from Gaobei Slope... my son got into some trouble, and we are here to..."

"Got into what trouble? Keep talking!"

Frightened by them, Yu Qiushui told them everything in detail.

When it came to Yu Wanhua, he thought about Lin Xia and the others not knowing that they weren’t blood-related, so he tried to hide the truth and get past it.

However, these people came precisely to probe into this matter; how could they let it go? It turned out that these men were buddies of Jiang Mingyuan.

After Yu Qiushui was brutally kicked twice, he began to spill everything without holding back.

Jiang Mingyuan found Lin Xia and told her what he had learned from his investigation.

According to Yu Qiushui, Yu Wanhua was not the biological daughter of his uncle Yu Fuhai and He Shumin, but an adopted child from someone else.

As for who Yu Wanhua’s biological parents were, they had no idea even after all these years.

Lin Xia was delighted, "So we’re really not blood-related! That’s great! Otherwise, having such relatives would’ve been suffocating!"

"Lin Xia! Do you still want to continue researching this matter?" Jiang Mingyuan asked, willing to help her if she wanted to pursue it.

Lin Xia pondered for a moment and then shook her head, "Let’s drop it! It’s enough to know we’re not related. My mother is gone, what’s there left to check!"

When Lin Xia heard the words Jiang Mingyuan had overheard by chance, all she wanted was to clear up whether her mother was truly related to these people;

After discovering the truth, she felt relieved but did not wish to search for her mother’s family.

So many years had passed, and it was difficult to search on the one hand;

On the other hand, she felt that since her mother had passed away, and if she calculated it, her biological parents would not be young either – it’s possible they had already turned into dust, so what was the point of her searching?

Jiang Mingyuan also thought that Lin Xia’s idea was sensible, "That’s better!"

He initially didn’t drive the mother and son away because he wanted to see Lin Xia’s decision. Since she had no intention of continuing the search, there was no need for them to stay...
