After eating fried chicken at noon, several mothers went to the health center to check on Xiu Ziheng first.
The child had already woken up and was half-lying quietly on the small bed in the clinic receiving nutrient solution. Li Yunhua brought the silver thread and tweezers to the clinic, and was practicing the techniques while accompanying Xiu Ziheng to receive the infusion.
In fact, if we evaluate her objectively, Li Yunhua is really outstanding. She is beautiful, capable, and very self-disciplined.
But when she thought about Li Yunhua marrying Lin Mingqi in the future, and Xiaoshu having to call this person “mom”, Gu Qianjing was still a little unwilling. She would fight for being Xiaoshu’s mother, as for Lin Mingqi, love whoever you want, you are a big shot anyway.
After the children said goodbye, their mothers sent them to school.
Teacher Guo had been waiting in the guard room. When she saw them coming, she quickly stood up and went out to greet them.
Gu Qianjing saw that Teacher Guo’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying. She felt a little sorry for her, so she handed Xiao Shu’s hand to Teacher Guo.
”Were you scared at noon, Teacher Guo? It’s really hard for you to take care of five naughty kids by yourself. It must be hard work!”
”No, no, it’s my fault. I made the child sick.” Teacher Guo blushed and quickly waved her hands to apologize.
”You didn’t make him sick, so how can I blame you?” Gu Qianjing smiled comfortingly, “People will get sick if they eat grains, it just happened at this point, don’t blame yourself.”
”That’s right.” Lu Yi handed Xiao Ju’s hand to Teacher Guo’s other hand, “These little bastards will have to trouble you for a few more days, so cheer up!”
With the comfort of the mothers, Teacher Guo’s expression eased a lot.
Xiao Shu handed over the lunch box at the right time, and Xiao Ju helped translate, “Teacher, this is the fried chicken nuggets that Xiao Shu’s mother made at noon. You didn’t have lunch, right? We brought this for you. Don’t go hungry!”
Teacher Guo burst out laughing and said with a nasal tone, “Thank you, Xiaoshu’s mother!”
Gu Qianjing winked at her, “You’re welcome. Respecting teachers is what we parents should do!”
Although she knew she was joking, Teacher Guo’s face turned red again.
[I am a kindergarten teacher. It is normal for our industry to be questioned by parents. A few days ago, one of my colleagues was beaten by a student’s parent. I was really moved to see Qianqian and other mothers being so warm-hearted.]
[When I was not familiar with her before, I thought she was the kind of celebrity who was said to be arrogant because of her arrogant appearance. This program changed my opinion of her a lot! ]
[Actually, except for Deng Li, all other mothers in this show are pretty good. Let Deng Li go quickly.]
[No, no, no, Li Yunhua’s previous comment about the “shabby” town offended me. I hate her now. In addition to Deng Li, let Li Yunhua go as well.]
[No, don’t you want people to tell the truth? Some people think small towns are good, some people think big cities are good, isn’t this normal? ]
[If you think big cities are good, don’t come to a small town to eat bad food! ]
The debate was heated online, and the mothers returned to the jewelry stores and began their boring life as craftsmen again.
After get off work in the evening, all the mothers received 100 yuan in wages today.
Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi went together and had a fish hot pot in the town, which cost 120 yuan. Tomorrow’s living expenses had to be saved. For two meals a day, two adults and two children, four people could only spend 80 yuan.
After returning to the B&B, Li Yunhua had already brought Xiu Ziheng back. Xiu Ziheng was holding a hot water bottle in his arms and sitting on a cushion in the garden to warm his stomach.
Uncle Yang looked at it and shook his head, “What’s the point of covering it up? He ate too much, not caught a cold.”
Li Yunhua refused to listen to Uncle Yang’s words and stubbornly believed that stomachache should be treated with a hot water bottle.
It can be seen that Li Yunhua is still in a bad mood. Gu Qianjing and Lu Yi took the children and quietly went upstairs. Soon it was 9 o’clock in the evening and the live broadcast was closed.
Gu Qianjing sat on the rattan chair on the terrace and opened the live broadcast recording sent by Nanfeng.
Nanfeng is really a very meticulous agent. He would organize the highlights of the live broadcast every day and send them to Gu Qianjing as soon as the live broadcast ends.
Usually at times like this, Gu Qianjing always felt that Nanfeng was like a superior academic master, while she was the poor student who copied homework, so she usually would not click on these videos. It was not that she hated her own videos, but as a poor student, she simply hated the academic masters.
But today is different.
Gu Qianjing did not hear clearly what Deng Li said at noon, or rather, she heard it, but she suspected that she had heard it wrongly.
Gu Qianjing clicked on the video and scrolled directly to the part where fried chicken was made at noon. She clearly heard what Deng Li said.
”You put someone’s child in the hospital, and you’re still eating it. Hey, fried chicken, what’s wrong? You started pretending since the last show. I don’t know who feeds her son plain porridge at home!”
”Damn it!” Gu Qianjing cursed in her heart.
She called Nanfeng and asked, “Please help me check if Deng Li has ever seen a woman named He Chun…”
It would definitely not be easy to find out by directly checking like this. Gu Qianjing suddenly remembered that when doing the amusement park mission, Deng Li was originally going to do the escape room mission with Li Yunhua and others, but she took a leave due to illness.
Then, Lin Mingqi returned to China inexplicably and moved back to the villa.
All the unreasonable things were connected together. Deng Li not only met He Chun, but also told Lin Mingqi what she knew, so Lin Mingqi suddenly returned home at that point.
Gu Qianjing directly provided Nanfeng with a specific time point, and finally added, “Check whether Deng Li has seen Lin Mingqi.”
After hanging up Nan Feng’s phone, Gu Qianjing felt confused. If it was really Deng Li, why did she hate herself so much? Was there any grudge between the original owner and Deng Li?
She recalled that Deng Li sneaked into Li Yunhua’s house last night…
Wait!
There must be something about Li Yunhua involved here!
It is indeed the plot of a bloody and abusive novel. You kill me and I kill you. The whole plot is just a mess. Either you die or I live.
Gu Qianjing made up her mind almost in an instant: she would divorce her husband once she made money, then run away with Xiaoshu and get away from this bloody world.
She closed her eyes and thought about it. She now had two large sources of income. One was from the endorsement of Daisy, and the other was the remuneration for participating in “A Different Mom”. The sum of these two sums should be over 10 million. It should not be difficult for her and Xiaoshu to settle down.
Lu Yi opened the sliding door of Room 205 and stuck half of his head out. “Qianqian, are you going to apply a facial mask today? I brought a seaweed mask. It’s a bit cheap, but the smell is very fresh. Do you want to try it?”
”No!” Gu Qianjing refused decisively, “I want something expensive, really expensive. Start applying it now! If one is not enough, I’ll apply two.”
She stared at Lu Yi and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, “You too, must apply the expensive ones!”
”oh!”
Lu Yi silently put away her fresh and affordable seaweed mask, and reverently took the 24K gold spa care mask handed to her by Gu Qianjing.
Lu Yi had seen this facial mask introduced in a fashion magazine. The price of a single piece was $38,000!
The moment the cool mask touched her face, Lu Yi felt herself sublime.
Gu Qianjing had a golden face and thought bitterly that Lin Mingqi’s money was getting less and less every day. If she didn’t spend it, Li Yunhua would spend it anyway. It would be a waste if she didn’t spend it!
If Lin Mingqi knew her current nouveau riche mentality, he would probably laugh out loud. She just put on two small facial masks and acted like he couldn’t get enough of it. Who is she looking down on?
Li Yunhua was smoking in the small living room. There were several cigarette butts scattered in the ashtray, and the whole room was filled with the choking smell of smoke.
Recent events have made her very upset. The plot is moving very rapidly in the opposite direction. Originally, Gu Qianjing should have had an accident in Ankang Ancient Town, but she showed no signs of having an accident. Instead, she has stepped on landmines everywhere. What went wrong?
The mechanical sound in her mind suddenly rang, startling Li Yunhua.
[Host mission failed, intimacy value with the male protagonist dropped to 0]
Li Yunhua was stunned at first, then realized that the previous task was to [find evidence that Gu Qianjing abused Xiao Shu, and use it to restore the male protagonist’s intimacy value. ]
Mission failed?
Wasn’t that mission already successful?
In other words, the mission she sent Deng Li to find He Chun failed. How could this happen? Deng Li had clearly said that the task was done very well. He Chun was sent abroad, and Lin Mingqi also received the recording and returned to China.
Just as Li Yunhua was in a trance, her cell phone rang.
As soon as she picked up the phone, her agent Xu Qiaoqiao said anxiously, “Sister Li, Deng Li is completely finished!”
Li Yunhua’s heart also sank.
She hung up Xu Qiaoqiao’s phone and opened the trending searches: #Deng Li plays with a male prostitute#, #Deng Li is a VIP member of a famous pornographic venue#, and #Rumor has it that Deng Li keeps a male model#.
Each of the hot searches is well-known and real, and each one is enough to nail Deng Li to the pillar of shame.
Half an hour after the hot search exploded, the official Weibo account of the National Radio and Television released a message criticizing Deng Li’s unethical behavior. The official statement completely hammered Deng Li to death.
Li Yunhua’s mind went blank. She stood up, walked out of the small living room eagerly, and rushed directly to room 203.
”Mom.” Xiu Ziheng, who was doing his summer homework, raised his head and called out.
Li Yunhua paused, hid the cigarette in her hand, and reluctantly said, “Do your homework first. Mom has something to do outside.”
Xiu Ziheng nodded, scratched the fluffy wool curls on his head, and lowered his head to continue doing arithmetic problems.
In room 202, because there was a smell coming from the public toilet outside from time to time, the windows were kept closed and the air conditioner was on all day, so the temperature in the room was very low.
Deng Li’s face was as white as toilet paper. Because the temperature in the room was too low, a thin layer of mist condensed on the screen of her mobile phone.
She stared at the place where the light was coming from. She felt as if there was a huge monster in the phone, dragging her in, biting and devouring her. She felt no pain, yet it seemed as if every part of her body was hurting.
When Li Yunhua came in, Deng Li grabbed Li Yunhua’s slender wrist like a drowning person who had grabbed a piece of driftwood, squeezing it so hard that Li Yunhua’s bones hurt.
”Let me go first.” Li Yunhua whispered, “The child is still here, calm down.”
Then she turned to look at the panicked Xiaojun, “Xiaojun, go find Brother Ziheng to watch cartoons. Auntie and Mom have something to say.”
When Xiaojun heard what Li Yunhua said, he turned around and ran out.
He had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. When his mother and uncle entered the room with psychedelic lights, they would say to him, “Xiaojun, go out and play for a while. Mom and uncle have something to talk.”
Every time he would turn around and run. Although he was so little that he didn’t know what his mother and uncle were going to do, his subconscious always told him that it was a secret and he’d better not know it.
”Deng Li, listen to me.” Li Yunhua held her shoulders and forced her to look up at her. “Take Xiaojun away now and go abroad. Later… wait until public opinion dies down before making plans.”
The light in Deng Li’s eyes gradually gathered again, and she began to think again, “Is it Lin Mingqi? Does he know about my visit to He Chun?”
Deng Li had been feeling uneasy because of what she had let slip in the afternoon. She had not expected the retribution to come so quickly and so fiercely, leaving her no room for mercy. It was exactly like what that ruthless and decisive business madman in the business would do.
”Don’t worry about who it is. You did it yourself. I warned you not to overdo it…”
”You should leave quickly.” Li Yunhua realized that there was no point in saying this now. She pushed Deng Li and said, “The environment abroad is relatively relaxed. You should go out and take shelter first. We can talk about the rest later.”
Deng Li grabbed Li Yunhua’s wrist with her backhand, “Teacher Li, you can’t just ignore me. If you push me too far, the worst that can happen is that both of us will be destroyed.”
Li Yunhua knew that Deng Li was not a good person, but she still felt uncomfortable when she heard such a naked threat. She looked at Deng Li coldly and said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of the aftermath of the domestic affairs.”
Gu Qianjing was leaning against the bed, browsing her phone, while Xiaoshu was lying beside her, quietly reading a picture book.
Gu Qianjing had seen the scandal of Deng Li hiring male prostitutes on the “dirty list” provided by Nanfeng. She had thought the list was fake, but she didn’t expect it to come true so soon.
There were noisy footsteps and car sounds outside the room. Gu Qianjing did not move, but she guessed that Deng Li had left, and she would probably never see this woman in the familiar circle again.
A call came in on my phone as I was browsing. I picked it up and heard Nan Feng’s standard broadcast voice.
