CHAPTER 158: CHAPTER 158: FRAMING

Chen Jun’s mother thought, she’d better quickly deal with Li Dongxiang so that she doesn’t ruin her son’s future.

And also not ruin her own enjoyment in the latter half of her life.

The two of them directly ignored Li Dongxiang and went on with their business.

Li Dongxiang waited until the two had fallen asleep before she stood up from the ground.

She washed up casually and went to bed alone.

Now Chen Jun was directly staying in the living room.

She didn’t know why things turned out this way.

On the other side, as soon as Yang Lin returned to the city, she used her connections to find a small-time thug.

She exchanged a few words with the thug.

Then handed him a note, followed by a wad of money.

After they talked a bit more, Yang Lin left satisfied.

On Sunday, no matter what Ye Family’s parents said, they didn’t want to go out again.

Gu Yi and Ye Hao had no choice but to take Ye Qian to several nearby bustling places for a morning tour.

Ye Qian listened and looked around, trying hard to remember a few places she thought suitable for opening a shop.

At lunchtime, Ye Hao said he needed to report back to the army the next day.

He had to return this afternoon, or he’d be late tomorrow.

When Ye Family’s parents heard he was going back, they thought they had nothing to do there, so they might as well go to the army with Ye Hao.

It was just right to take care of him.

They asked Ye Qian if she wanted to go to the army with them or stay here to keep Gu Yi company.

Ye Qian thought for a moment and decided to stay in the city.

Once Gu Yi went to school, she would check out the shops by herself.

Since she decided to stay in B City, she needed to get the shop up and running quickly.

This way, she could ease her parents’ concerns a bit.

At three in the afternoon, Ye Family’s parents went with Ye Hao to the army.

That night, Ye Hao had just finished dinner at home with his parents.

A sentinel brought a man to Ye Hao’s door.

Ye Hao opened the door and saw a man behind the sentinel, although the man was obviously dressed up.

But Ye Hao could tell at a glance this man was a bit shady.

He directly took the man outside the courtyard.

"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"

Ye Hao asked directly.

"Captain Ye, there’s something we should discuss inside, it might be better."

The man said, deliberately glancing at people walking nearby.

Although it wasn’t warm yet, some people would still take a walk after dinner.

"No need, just say what you have to say."

Ye Hao looked at him and said.

"Alright then, I don’t mind if you don’t. I’m here today to ask you to divorce your wife, Gu Yi. She’s gotten together with me."

The man deliberately said loudly.

As soon as Ye Hao heard what he said, he stepped forward and grabbed his collar with both hands.

"What did you say? Say that again."

"Captain Ye didn’t hear clearly, so let me say it again. Your wife, Gu Yi, got together with me in the city. She’s afraid to tell you, and I came to make things clear, so you’d divorce quickly and not hold us back."

The man spoke louder than before.

Ye Family’s parents heard and quickly ran out.

People walking around also stopped and moved closer.

Li Dongxiang was also lurking in the crowd, watching the commotion.

She always felt her days were unlucky because of Gu Yi’s presence.

Fortunately, she only got two slaps from Chen Jun’s mother yesterday, and today there was no trace of it.

If Chen Jun had hit her, she wouldn’t have been able to leave the house today.

As soon as Ye Hao returned to the army, Li Dongxiang called Yang Lin using the private money she had hidden.

She never expected Yang Lin’s solution to be like this.

But it’s fine; as long as this guy insists he’s involved with Gu Yi, her reputation would be ruined.

Ye Hao punched the man directly.

The man, clearly an old hand in such matters,

was hit by Ye Hao but still smiling as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

"Captain Ye must be angry from embarrassment."

"Who hired you to come here and frame us? Did they not tell you that destroying a military marriage is a criminal offense?"

Ye Hao knew as soon as he heard it was false.

Gu Yi would never do anything to betray him.

Even if Gu Yi wanted to find someone, it wouldn’t be someone like this guy.

"Last time, wasn’t it him who was said to be with Gu Yi at a hotel?"

Li Dongxiang saw the man seemed intimidated by Ye Hao, so she added fuel to the fire.

As she shouted, the man smiled in agreement.

"Right, that was me, Captain Ye. We stayed at that hotel the whole night."

He began to taunt Ye Hao.

Ye Hao was ready to strike again.

Li Yifan brought some people over and pulled him back.

"Ye Hao, calm down. This guy is clearly trying to provoke you."

Li Yifan said to Ye Hao, then sternly spoke to the man.

"What’s your name? For disrupting a military marriage, defaming a military spouse, and causing trouble in the unit, you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison."

The man saw Li Yifan’s stance and knew it was hopeless to make any more fuss today.

The person who hired him only wanted him to relay the message, and people were already whispering.

He had already achieved his goal.

"Alright, I’m just stating facts. If you don’t believe me, then consider this disturbance my apology."

The man said and then quickly ran outside the unit.

Li Dongxiang spat in disdain, muttering how he was scared off by just a few words.

But she also wanted that man to speak well of her in front of Yang Lin.

So she quietly followed him.

Ye Hao took off his military jacket, ready to chase outside.

Li Yifan grabbed him.

"Let go of me. That guy was obviously hired by someone to tarnish Gu Yi’s reputation. I can’t let him off so easily."

"Patience is needed to catch the bigger fish. I’ve already had someone follow him. If he was hired, he’d report back. Don’t lose sight of the big picture over small matters."

Ye Hao gradually calmed down.

He took his clothes and went back inside.

Ye Family’s parents greeted Li Yifan and followed him inside.

Ye Family’s parents returned to their room.

"Do you think what that man said could be true? Could it be that Yiyi is involved with him?"

Ye’s mother sat on the bed, speaking to Ye Fu.

"What are you talking about? We’ve known Yiyi for so long, don’t you know what kind of person she is? She would never do such a thing."

Ye Fu spoke sternly to Ye’s mother.

"Yes, Yiyi wouldn’t do such things, but while we believe her, others might not. You saw how everyone was whispering just now."

Ye’s mother was filled with worry at the thought.

"We can’t control others, but the truth stands. Our family must believe in Yiyi, or she’d be so hurt."

Ye Fu, worried Ye’s mother’s ears might get persuaded, quickly advised her.

"Okay, I understand."

Ye Hao lay on his bed inside his room.

Thinking about who could have orchestrated such a mess, aside from Yang Lin, no one else came to mind.

Probably when they last met, Yang Lin got provoked, leading to today’s incident.

Thinking about it, Ye Hao felt guilty. It was his fault that made Gu Yi the subject of gossip.

Ye Hao, in anger, slammed his fist into the bed.

It seemed that he needed to expedite his plan to resolve things at the source.
