Chapter 642 - 621: Panic

"Ye Qing brought her mom out, she must have tricked her dad. She’s been in trouble for several months, her mom moved the house, and there’s no news from them at home, so they must come to see her. Her dad spent on her college, and she’s about to graduate, just waiting for her to pay back the family. But she disappeared just like that, with her dad’s temper, he definitely won’t let it go easily. The key is, she brought her mom here too. Not letting the family contact."

"This Ye Qing sure has deep thoughts, she wants to cut off contact with the family. Let’s go and see." Su Ling loves this kind of thrilling stuff. She wants to know what Ye Qing’s dad plans to do.

Lin Wan also wants to see what Ye Weijun is doing here, but unfortunately, she doesn’t know where Ye Qing has placed her mom right now.

Ye Weijun wandered around here for a long time before finding the neighborhood area by the city construction bureau. This neighborhood is quite large, comprising two or three big courtyard compounds. There are also smaller yards that aren’t fenced in. He couldn’t even get through the gates of those neighborhoods.

This is what he’s worried about; such a big place, these people are damn rich.

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, the direction he’s headed is very close to my house." Su Ling tugged Lin Wan’s sleeve and whispered.

Lin Wan’s eyes were fixed on Ye Weijun’s figure. She replied, "I’ve noticed."

"Why do you think she came here?"

"I don’t know either." Lin Wan frowned, suddenly a flicker of light passed through her mind, leaving her momentarily stunned, and she added, "Xiao Ling, do you think he might know where Ye Qing’s mom lives?"

"In the city construction residential area?" Su Ling said and chuckled, "Ye Qing’s mom must have some great skill to know people here. You must know that the houses around here are top-notch. The compound on the right was newly built, mostly dormitory buildings, and not likely for sale. The two compounds on the left are all large single-story courtyard homes with great recreational facilities, and almost none of them are for sale. Even if a house were for sale, it would be absorbed internally by recommendations among people in the compound. Now quite a few people are watching. Behind is where we live, in scattered compounds, acquired by my father-in-law’s unit directly paying for them for technical experts, and I’m most familiar with that area. I haven’t seen anyone selling houses recently."

"Such a big place, how can you stay so observant? I’m guessing they’re likely here somewhere."

"Hey, hey, look, Ye Weijun stopped over there."

Lin Wan quickly hid behind Su Ling, afraid Ye Weijun would see her.

She really didn’t want to get involved with Ye Weijun, this guy isn’t much different from Li Fugui.

...

Her daughter called yesterday to say she had gotten the certificate with Mei Langchi and was now living in the military compound, already registered as accompanying the military.

Her son-in-law also arranged work for her, working as a designer in a shoe factory. Listening to the term "designer," Qiu Hualan was initially puzzled.

Finally, after her daughter explained, she understood it was designing shoe styles.

This made Qiu Hualan happy; her daughter, though having suffered, won Mei Langchi’s pity. Coupled with her daughter’s cleverness, she got Mei Langchi to marry her as soon as she came out. Now, not only is she registered as accompanying the military, but she also has her own job. Just by hearing about the position, one can tell it won’t be bad. Who knows, maybe in the future, her daughter’s designed shoes will be everywhere on the streets.

Qiu Hualan, feeling joyous, planned to celebrate today while Du Guangjun was home, pulling him along to celebrate.

"Sister Qiu, what’s the good news that requires killing chickens and buying fish?" Du Guangjun had nothing to do, seeing her buy so much with the kids, and since she couldn’t carry it all herself, he went out with her.

"My daughter just... got promoted, now she’s a designer. I’m happy for her, celebrating alone is no fun. So I’m pulling Brother Du along to my house for a meal. I hope you don’t mind."

"Sister Qiu’s cooking is pretty good, much better than me dealing with it alone at home." Although Qiu Hualan’s cooking isn’t as good as Liang Hongmei’s, it isn’t bad either.

Qiu Hualan’s old face turned red with embarrassment at Du Guangjun’s casual praise. She awkwardly turned to look to one side.

Some things you can forget, but when she turned her head, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure she’d remember even if they were ashes.

In the distance, not far away, there was a figure with changing eyes, hands stuffed in their sleeves, trembling on the road.

Qiu Hualan was instantly frightened, her face turned white, and she quickly pushed her cart to run towards the neighborhood.

Du Guangjun hadn’t reacted yet. When he turned around, Qiu Hualan had already reached the neighborhood gate.

Du Guangjun saw her pale expression and fluctuating chest, thinking she suddenly had some acute illness.

Quickly walked over to her side with worry, "Sister Qiu, what’s happened? Are you okay?"

Qiu Hualan didn’t dare stay at the gate, afraid Ye Weijun would see her, and hurriedly pushed Hua Hua inside, not daring to look at Du Guangjun, barely managing a smile, "Really... really, it must be old age, the body isn’t useful anymore, just now suddenly felt chest pain. Couldn’t breathe, was very uncomfortable, now it’s much better, it’s nothing anymore."

"Such an illness can’t get better just like that! Here, let’s go, I’ll take you to the hospital. If this illness isn’t treated, who knows when you might just..." Du Guangjun said as he pulled her arm to leave the neighborhood.

Seeing this, Qiu Hualan quickly pulled back, refusing to step outside the neighborhood.

"Brother Du, don’t act hastily, it was just a sudden issue, I’ve never had it before. It’s almost noon, we go there now, the hospital will be closed. Forget it, another day, another day."

"Why call it suddenly then, all big illnesses start small."

The enthusiasm from Du Guangjun now made Qiu Hualan worry. Quickly pulling his clothes, she felt uneasy, "Brother Du, please stop, let’s go back. Holding on this way at the gate makes it easy for people to misunderstand. I’m quite alright, it’s settled now. Let’s go, we bought so much food today, waiting to let you feast!" This statement caught Du Guangjun unprepared, and he promptly released her hand apologetically, "Sister Qiu, I was just too worried about you, acted rashly, don’t take it to heart."

Seeing that Du Guangjun stopped pulling her, Qiu Hualan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily at him, "Why take it to heart, in fact, I should thank you! Without your enthusiasm these past few days, if something happens, a woman of my age with a child, it truly would be difficult."

Upon hearing Qiu Hualan’s words, Du Guangjun frowned immediately in dissatisfaction, "What age? Clearly you’re still very young. Sister Qiu, are you really alright now?"

Qiu Hualan quickly nodded, smiling, "No issue, I’m perfectly fine. Let’s hurry; it’s too cold outside, I’m worried Hua Hua won’t cope."

"Right right, the child shouldn’t stay outside too long."

Having seen Du Guangjun stop dragging her out, Qiu Hualan’s heart began to relax, but regarding Ye Weijun outside, she started feeling frightened inside.

Since she moved, she hadn’t sent money home to Ye Weijun in several months. Qiu Hualan had, in her heart, already expected Ye Weijun would come here.

But she wasn’t worried because Liang Weixiang could only know their old address, and no one apart from her daughter knew where she lived now.

She had hoped to live calmly for a few years, but didn’t expect Ye Weijun to arrive here so easily.

Was it a coincidence or did he know she lived in this place?

If it was a coincidence, it meant Ye Weijun didn’t know she lived here, and she could hide at home with her child for a few days without leaving.

If he really knew she lived here, it would be troublesome. Ye Weijun would surely force her back to her hometown.

He might even take Hua Hua along. With Ye Weijun’s nature, he wouldn’t let his daughter have an illegitimate child. Even if it’s a boy, he’d cruelly sell Hua Hua for alcohol money without feeling.

And she wouldn’t have a good time, a beating would be light punishment.

The more Qiu Hualan thought about it along her way, the more frightened she became. Now the only thing she could do was pray that Ye Weijun wouldn’t find her.

"Du... Brother Du. How about we go to your house to cook today? I’ve just thought, my stew pot got cracked. Ah, it seems like the condiments are lacking too."

Du Guangjun didn’t suspect, upon hearing they’d go to his house. He laughed heartily, "Alright, let’s go to my house. Usually we eat at your place; I’m really embarrassed being a man going into your door. It’s been months since you moved here, I’ve been running to your house, yet you haven’t visited my place. Today’s a good chance to see my place."

Qiu Hualan chuckled and smiled, "Haha, great, let’s go then. It’s time to see what Brother Du’s place looks like."

The reason why Qiu Hualan suggested going to Du Guangjun’s house was because she was afraid that Ye Weijun knew her address and would rush to her place directly. Then, nobody could help her, not even Du Guangjun could intervene. At most, he’d persuade her and know she had such an embarrassing husband, then start to distance himself from her.
