Chapter 189: I Have a Very Bad Feeling
A week after the wedding, Gu Huaiye and Xie Miaohan took Father Gu back to District B with them.
Father Gu was very satisfied with the new villa they bought. He video-called his friends, constantly praising his daughter-in-law for being capable, making his friends feel sour with envy.
Originally, Gu Huaiye and Xie Miaohan disliked having outsiders at home and usually only hired hourly workers to help with cleaning. Now that Father Gu was here, to take care of his daily life, they transferred five servants from the Gu family villa—all senior staff who had been with Father Gu for a long time.
Gu Huaiye also called Lu Zishi, asking him to come work in District B.
The educational resources here were better than in District A, which would help his daughter’s future development.
After hanging up, Gu Huaiye smiled at Xie Miaohan. “By the way, I forgot to tell you earlier. Lu Zishi’s daughter will differentiate into an Alpha in the future.”
Hearing this, Xie Miaohan was also a bit surprised.
“Then for them, coming to District B is indeed the optimal choice.”
Gu Huaiye nodded and hugged Xie Miaohan’s waist. “By the way, I’ll trouble you to take Dad to the hospital for a checkup this afternoon. He only listens to you now; if you take him, he’ll definitely cooperate with the examination.”
Speaking of which, maybe people became unwilling to go to hospitals as they aged.
Before, he had to coax Father Gu for a long time to persuade him to go for a checkup.
“What about you? You’re not going?”
“No.” Gu Huaiye shook his head. “I’m going shopping with Chen Zirui. It’s Xiang Wanxing’s birthday soon; Chen Zirui wants to buy him a gift.”
Thinking of something, Gu Huaiye pulled a straight face and looked at Xie Miaohan.
“I know you and Xiang Wanxing have a good relationship now, but Chen Zirui instructed me not to reveal it to Xiang Wanxing, to avoid spoiling the surprise.”
Xie Miaohan rubbed his head. “Okay, I’ll help keep the secret.”
Gu Huaiye raised an eyebrow, as if deliberately picking a fight, feigning unhappiness.
“You admit you have a good relationship?”
He hadn’t forgotten that in the second life, he viewed Xiang Wanxing as a rival in love.
Xie Miaohan couldn’t help laughing. “You and Chen Zirui have a good relationship too. Xiang Wanxing and I are just two jealous people playing together.”
Gu Huaiye pinched Xie Miaohan’s cheek. “Quite good at deflecting conflict, aren’t you?”
“Learned it from Brother.” Xie Miaohan pinched Gu Huaiye’s butt.
Gu Huaiye’s eyes widened. After reacting, he raised his hand to punch Xie Miaohan’s shoulder.
“Okay then, you guy are even more of a hooligan than me now.”
The two wrestled in the main hall and unknowingly rolled onto the sofa.
At this moment, a burst of coughing was heard.
They looked over and saw Father Gu standing not far away.
“You two, if you can’t hold back, hurry to your room. With so many people coming and going here, it’s not good to be seen.” Father Gu glared at Gu Huaiye. “Especially you, not knowing how to protect your wife, bullying him in the living room every day.”
Gu Huaiye: ???
Others got a stepfather when they got a new mother.
He got a stepfather after marrying a wife; his father’s heart had long biased to god knows where.
“It was me bullying Huaiye.” Xie Miaohan stood up and helped straighten Gu Huaiye’s clothes.
Gu Huaiye was satisfied with Xie Miaohan’s performance and couldn’t help lifting his chin.
“Dad, do you have time this afternoon?” Xie Miaohan asked.
Father Gu was stunned. “What is it?”
“I’m taking you to the hospital for a checkup.”
Father Gu immediately looked at Gu Huaiye, who quietly looked away.
Father Gu: “……” Brat.
Since his daughter-in-law had spoken, no matter how afraid he was of hospitals, he had to bite the bullet and agree.
“Alright, I’ll go up and change clothes.”
Gu Huaiye quickly grabbed Father Gu’s arm. “Don’t change; this already looks very good.”
Father Gu glared, whispering to Gu Huaiye, “Tell me honestly, are you secretly taking revenge on me?”
“No way, I’m creating opportunities for father-in-law and daughter-in-law to bond.”
Father Gu almost laughed in anger—didn’t need to use a hospital trip to create opportunities!
Knowing full well he was afraid of injections.
“Dad, let’s go.” Xie Miaohan curved his lips. “The driver is already waiting at the door.”
Father Gu sighed and obediently followed Xie Miaohan out of the villa.
Not long after, Gu Huaiye also went out. He took a taxi to the main gate of the Xiang family home. After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw Chen Zirui running out in a hurry.
“Sorry, Brother Gu, have you been waiting long?” After getting into the taxi, Chen Zirui apologized while buckling his seatbelt. “It’s all Xiang Wanxing’s fault for being so troublesome, insisting on asking where I was going. I had to make up a random excuse to fool him.”
Gu Huaiye looked at Chen Zirui’s somewhat overly swollen lips.
What fooled him was probably not the excuse at all.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Zirui met Gu Huaiye’s gaze. “Is there something on my face?”
“No.”
Gu Huaiye withdrew his gaze and instructed the driver to go to a nearby shopping mall.
On the way, Gu Huaiye suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Chen Zirui.
“Whose card did you bring?”
“Xiang Wanxing’s, of course.” Chen Zirui answered without thinking. “I don’t have any money.”
Gu Huaiye: “……”
Facing Gu Huaiye’s silence, Chen Zirui’s expression changed. After an “Oops,” he slapped his own head.
“I forgot, that guy Xiang Wanxing can see my transaction records.”
Gu Huaiye shook his head helplessly. “Forget it, use my card.”
“How can I do that!” Chen Zirui refused. “I’m buying a gift for Xiang Wanxing; how can I use your card?”
“It’s not like I’m letting you use it for free,” Gu Huaiye said. “Just deduct it from your future salary.”
“That works.”
Gu Huaiye frowned, tilting his head to look at Chen Zirui.
“Weren’t your dad’s illegitimate children all driven to District H? Now that it’s come to this, he still refuses to give you money?”
“The old man is worried that I won’t care about him once I go to District B, so he’s clutching the Chen family assets to force me back to manage the company.”
Chen Zirui’s expression soured at the mention of Father Chen. He sneered and continued, “Trying to coax me to take over the company only now? Too late! I don’t give a damn about his broken company; it doesn’t even make as much as Xiang Wanxing’s worst-performing business.”
“It’s good not to go back; let him learn a lesson.”
Chen Zirui curved his lips and leaned on Gu Huaiye’s shoulder.
“Anyway, I’m only following Brother Gu now.”
Gu Huaiye rubbed his head. “Okay, guaranteed to be better than staying in the Chen family.”
Arriving at the mall entrance, the two got out of the car together.
Seeing there were no other outsiders, Chen Zirui’s face became serious, and he lowered his voice to speak to Gu Huaiye.
“Brother Gu, actually I have a very bad feeling.”
Gu Huaiye stopped walking, staring at him in confusion. “What?”
“I suspect Chen Muyuan’s death is related to Xiang Wanxing.”
