CHAPTER 463: CHAPTER 490: HIDING OUT

She didn’t know what was going on, but Sun Chan and Gu Junming instantly knew what was up.

Liu Gang was using a self-harming strategy, Gu Junming and Sun Chan guessed correctly.

The previous events had a big impact on Liu Gang.

Liu Gang currently has a bad reputation, people in the compound all avoid him, and it’s the same at work; no one takes him seriously.

If he doesn’t come up with another plan, it looks like he’s going to be unlucky for life!

Not to mention failing to get promoted, maybe his name will even be on the next transfer list! He’s from the countryside, if he has no background, can he be assigned to a good place? Plus, his wife has been constantly opposing him.

Exploiting the hold she has over him, she keeps oppressing him. Is he going to be trapped in her palm for the sake of reputation all his life?

So he thought for several days and finally came up with this plan. He’s been arguing with his wife for days, and when the tension was high enough, he deliberately fell down the stairs. Just as he thought, everyone came over to help.

Ai Mei kept saying she’s the one being bullied; people need to see how unreasonable this woman is, right?

Now that he’s injured, naturally these people would forget what he did, and they’ll inevitably think of the better parts of him. The leader might even suspect Ai Mei is trying to control him, doubting her words.

Anyway, this is a kind of strategy where you find life after facing a crisis.

Ai Mei cried, "I didn’t do it. Please help me!"

Sun Chan said, "Just because you say you didn’t push him, doesn’t mean anything without evidence. Your husband is injured now, so you better go check on him. Otherwise, people will gossip even more about you."

"But he’s so bad to me..."

Gu Junming said, "Regardless of how he is usually, he’s injured now. As a military spouse, you should take care of him. It’s your responsibility and duty." What a joke, if you don’t take care of him, do you expect us to?

Of course, Ai Mei still wants to keep her marriage, so she quickly nodded, "I understand. I’ll go over now. Thanks for your advice. You guys are really good people!"

"It’s not advice, we can’t interfere with your marital issues." Gu Junming quickly said, wanting no involvement with this woman.

Ai Mei didn’t care and smiled, "Anyway, if I have any problems, I’ll come to you." She changed clothes and hurriedly left.

After they returned home, Sun Chan said, "Liu Gang’s tactics really aren’t shallow."

"Yeah, Ai Mei can’t fight against him no matter what. It’s not good for us to get involved in their matters. Ai Mei’s personality is definitely going to entangle us, and she might come to us whenever there’s an issue. What will we do then?" Sun Chan really dislikes this woman’s pathetic yet hateful behavior and unclear mind.

If Liu Gang uses them, it could affect Gu Junming’s reputation.

Sun Chan thought for a moment and said, "Let’s take a break from this place. We’ll come back once Liu Gang is better."

Gu Junming smiled and agreed; good idea. Can’t win, but can certainly avoid.

The two packed up, grabbed their bags, and left the compound overnight, heading to stay with Yang Dongfeng and Zhao Jieyun. This couple was very happy to see their daughter and son-in-law arrive, welcoming them joyfully.

They’ve been living a calm life lately. After Yang Yun went missing without news, the couple’s work was stable, and they’ve saved up some money. They were thinking of buying a larger home this New Year, allowing Sun Chan to stay over occasionally.

After all, this place’s area is too small; visiting here means sleeping on the sofa or making a floor bed.

Seeing them arrive, of course they were happy. Zhao Jieyun hurriedly welcomed them, "We were just talking about you, and here you come, how wonderful! Have you had dinner?"

"What are you talking about? It’s so late, how could we not have eaten?" Yang Dongfeng asked with concern, "Did something happen? Coming back to town at night, is there an issue at work?" He too served in the military before, so was worried and looked at Gu Junming.

Gu Junming quickly waved his hand, "No, actually we just need to avoid some people we don’t like."

"Is it people from the compound?"

Sun Chan smiled, "Mom, you’re smart."

Zhao Jieyun was relieved, affairs at the compound are just some trifles, nothing serious.

"Alright, don’t stand there, quickly wash up and rest, I’ll get the quilts out." Yang Dongfeng hurriedly said.

Yang Dongfeng and his wife offered the bed inside to the couple and came out themselves.

Sun Chan declined, "No need, we’re fine outside..."

"It’s fine, we’re alright, you guys can rest here. Tomorrow Gu Junming has work, and you have exams too, so it’s important for you to rest well. We can sleep during the day." Zhao Jieyun smiled, nudging Sun Chan inside.

Sun Chan could only agree, thinking it’s better to stay at Guihua’s inn to avoid disturbing her parents.

Yang Dongfeng and his wife settled on the sofa outside. Though it was late, the couple found it hard to fall asleep.

"When do you think Sun Chan will get pregnant?" Yang Dongfeng whispered.

"How would I know?" Zhao Jieyun said somewhat worried, "It’s been a while, generally new couples get pregnant quickly."

"Should we go to the hospital for a check, maybe try some traditional medicine?"

Zhao Jieyun waved, "Didn’t they have a check-up before? Everything was normal, let’s wait a bit. She’s graduating in half a year, getting pregnant now might not be convenient. It’s probably just a matter of time. Let’s not rush her, the more urgent, the harder to conceive."

"Yeah, let’s wait and see. Time to sleep."

Zhao Jieyun yawned and closed her eyes, thinking, Yang Dongfeng seems genuinely concerned for their daughter, which is good. Sun Chan is a kind woman, and any past rift will hopefully slowly dissolve.

The next morning, Sun Chan had to go for an exam, so she got up very early. She found her parents already in the kitchen preparing food.

She felt really embarrassed, whenever she stayed here, they would be up early cooking. With pancakes, porridge, stir-fry, it was all a bit much.

"You don’t need to prepare such a feast; we usually just make do in the morning."

"It’s fine, we’re old and don’t sleep much." Yang Dongfeng laughed, "I can eat as long as you fry me two small fish, go and wash up first. Wife, get me some eggs, and coat the fish a bit."

"Okay." Zhao Jieyun hurried to get some eggs, "You fry first, I’ll go buy two oil cakes from outside. Sun Chan, you like fried dough sticks, right? I’ll buy some for you."

Sun Chan felt truly helpless, no matter how she advised against it, her mother still rushed out, just couldn’t deal with them.
