Chapter 232: Awakening
Chapter 232: Awakening
When Ye Hao heard the rumor.He knew some people couldn’t wait any longer.
He picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and saw hope turn into despair immediately, which always drove people crazy.
Ye Hao didn’t plan to make a move now, after all, they had worked together for so long.
He didn’t want to be too ruthless, but considering Chen Jun’s current state.
Plus Yang Lin.
Even if he didn’t bother Chen Jun, Chen Jun would still ruin himself.
All he had to do was wait and watch the show.
Because the rumors in the military were getting worse.
People from the higher-ups had already come to the unit to talk to Ye Hao.
Nobody knew what they talked about, but when Ye Hao came out, he didn’t look too good.
Chen Jun looked at Ye Hao’s appearance and laughed coldly in his heart.
But in the days that followed, Ye Hao acted as if nothing had happened.
He just went to the city once a week.
Gu’s father was also having a headache, seeing the pile of things at home growing larger.
A few days later, Father Yang’s case went to trial in a military court.
Father Yang was sentenced to death for taking an enormous bribe and using his position to open up promotion channels for many people.
Yang Lin’s job at the military hospital was suspended.
Yang Bing was also penalized for being promoted through Father Yang’s connections.
He was demoted back to his original rank.
All of Yang Family’s assets, including the house, were confiscated.
Yang’s mother cried until her eyes almost went blind, but there was nothing she could do.
When their family was well-off, they had many relatives and friends; now that they were in trouble, everyone avoided them.
Without a house, Yang’s mother had to live at the unit with Yang Bing.
And Yang Lin, being married to Chen Jun, had no choice but to find him at the unit.
Yang Lin arrived at the unit at noon by shuttle bus, and Chen Jun met her at the drop-off point.
Chen Jun’s mother watched as Chen Jun brought Yang Lin in with bags and bags of things.
She had a long face.
She had hoped that Chen Jun marrying Yang Lin would bring some benefits.
Now, not only was Father Yang in trouble, but Yang Lin also lost her job.
In the future, they would have to rely on her son to support them.
The more Chen Jun’s mother thought about it, the more upset she became.
Watching Chen Jun move Yang Lin’s things into the room.
She said to Yang Lin.
"Yang Lin, I’m just saying, now that you’re not working, you have nothing to do all day. Can’t you take these things into the room yourself? Junzi has been training all morning and he’s exhausted."
"Mom, I’m pregnant, it’s inconvenient for me."
Yang Lin also knew that her mother-in-law looked at her unfavorably.
When her family was doing well, this old woman treated her like a daughter.
Now her attitude changed really quickly.
But in someone else’s territory, she didn’t want to get into a fight with Chen Jun right away, so she quickly smiled and said.
"You’re still early in the pregnancy, why so delicate? Okay, it’s your first day, I won’t say much, but in the future you can’t just call your husband to do everything, he’s also quite tired all day."
Talking about the baby in Yang Lin’s belly, Chen Jun’s mother suppressed her temper.
After all, Yang Lin was carrying Chen Jun’s flesh and blood.
Seeing that the two weren’t going to argue.
Chen Jun came out from the house.
"Mom, let’s hurry to eat, I’m starving."
Chen Jun went to the kitchen to get food and also brought a bowl to Yang Lin.
Chen Jun’s mother rolled her eyes again.
Yang Lin held the bowl and looked at the food on the table, having no appetite at all.
"Eat up, you must be hungry."
Chen Jun picked some food for her when he saw Yang Lin not moving her chopsticks.
But Yang Lin looked at the food in the bowl and ran to the bathroom to throw up.
"What’s wrong with her, can’t she let us eat in peace?"
Chen Jun’s mother put the bowl heavily on the table.
"Alright, mom, she’s pregnant, please be patient, that baby is your grandchild."
Chen Jun knew why his mother was upset, but things were already like this, being angry wouldn’t help.
Yang Lin was married to him now and was carrying his child, there’s no returning her now.
He had to calm his mother down.
Chen Jun’s mother shut her mouth upon hearing this.
And began to eat her meal in large bites.
That day, Ye Hao came over with a lot of stuff again.
Gu’s father opened the door and called Ye Hao in.
"Ye Hao, I brought you to have a look."
Gu’s father took Ye Hao to his room.
Inside were a cradle, a baby bed, and other baby supplies.
Then he took him to Gu Yi’s room.
Baby clothes filled the closet inside.
And the corners of the living room were piled up with things too.
"Let’s sit down and talk."
After Gu’s father sat on the sofa, he signaled Ye Hao to sit.
"Dad, I was just buying things in advance that I thought would be needed later, to save you and Yiyi from having to go buy them."
Ye Hao didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
"Ye Hao, I know you want to compensate Yiyi, but it’s really a bit too much, and I don’t think doing this will win Yiyi’s heart back."
Initially, Gu Yi would ask about these things, but later she got used to it.
Every time she came back and saw more things, she simply chose to ignore them.
She followed the principle of not asking, not looking, and not caring.
Every time, Gu’s father felt guilty.
"Dad, although Yiyi and I lived together for a while, sometimes I really feel like I don’t understand her at all, and besides this, I don’t know what else I should do."
Ye Hao really felt that sometimes when Gu Yi looked at him, it was as if she was looking at someone else.
"Ye Hao, I promised Yiyi I wouldn’t interfere with you two, but I think if you put your heart into something, the result won’t be too bad. Yiyi has such a big belly now, and I think companionship is the most important, not sending things while avoiding her like you are."
Gu’s father understood his daughter.
Kind-hearted and soft, yet stubborn on the surface.
As long as Ye Hao knew how to give an olive branch, he believed Gu Yi would follow the lead.
Ye Hao listened in silence for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
"Thank you for your advice, Dad, I know what to do now."
Ye Hao stood up from the sofa and gave Gu’s father a deep bow.
Gu’s father quickly helped him up.
Ye Hao smiled at Gu’s father and hurriedly headed for the door.
After class, Gu Yi saw Ye Hao standing outside their classroom.
Many classmates greeted him politely with "Hello, instructor" as they passed.
Ye Hao smiled back at all of them.
When he saw Gu Yi come out of the classroom, he hurried over to support her.
Ye Hao was afraid of holding her too tightly, that Gu Yi would pull away too forcefully and hurt herself, so he just pretended to support her.
Gu Yi shook off his hand and pulled Wang Yuan along as she walked forward.
Ye Hao looked at his hand.
How long had it been since he had such close contact with Gu Yi.
He used to be afraid of making her angry, so he watched her from a distance.
But what Gu’s father said today made him realize.
If he wanted to win Gu Yi’s heart back, he could only try to be present in front of her as much as possible.
Let her vent all the anger inside her.
Otherwise, if she kept suppressing it, she might really leave him one day.
Then he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
