CHAPTER 162: CHAPTER 162 NEGOTIATION

Li Dongxiang was pushed to the ground by Chen Jun and started crying loudly on the floor.

Gu Yi tugged on Ye Hao’s sleeve.

"Let’s go home first."

Gu Yi looked on like this and also felt that Li Dongxiang was quite pitiful.

But she really couldn’t muster sympathy for someone who was constantly trying to harm her.

So she thought it was better if they went home first.

To avoid the trouble affecting them if things started to escalate further.

"Yes, let’s go back."

Ye’s mother’s thoughts were similar to Gu Yi’s. Hearing Gu Yi suggest leaving, she quickly agreed.

Ye Hao had watched for a long time and understood many things as well.

Although he didn’t know why Chen Jun and his mother would harm Li Dongxiang.

By observing a bit closely, it was clear that the man was bribed by Chen Jun and his mother.

Ye Hao didn’t want to get involved in these things.

He nodded and led his family to leave.

"Captain Ye, you can’t leave. You have to seek justice for our Junzi."

Chen Jun’s mother, after gathering herself, quickly stepped forward to block Ye Hao, crying as she spoke.

Chen Jun’s mother had her own little plans.

Since Li Dongxiang was always harming Gu Yi, Ye Hao surely disliked Li Dongxiang too.

Moreover, she had just helped Gu Yi in a way.

There’s no way Ye Hao would miss the chance to teach Li Dongxiang a lesson.

Surely, he’d speak up for them, have Li Dongxiang divorced, and Chen Jun wouldn’t be punished.

Crying profusely in front of Ye Hao, Chen Jun’s mother left him at a loss for what to do.

"Auntie, I understand how you feel right now, but you heard what that man said earlier, that it was Li Dongxiang who instructed him to frame me, so we are victims too. Captain Ye really can’t mediate this, or else people will say he’s using authority for personal vendettas. Don’t you agree?"

Standing to the side, Gu Yi quickly stepped between them, with a stance as if protecting Ye Hao.

Ye Hao looked at Gu Yi standing protectively in front of him, finding the experience quite novel.

But he really liked it.

It’s truly rare to have someone step up for you at difficult times.

He suddenly felt his heart overflowing with warmth.

He finally understood the saying "cherish them too much to hurt them."

That’s exactly how he felt about Gu Yi now.

If not for the onlookers, Ye Hao would certainly have held Gu Yi tightly.

Chen Jun’s mother wanted to argue after hearing Gu Yi’s words but couldn’t find a reason.

Gu Yi’s words were justifiable, and she couldn’t force anything, could she?

"Auntie, we’ll go home first."

Taking advantage when Chen Jun’s mother was still in shock, Gu Yi pulled Ye Hao back home.

"Captain Ye is really a good person. If it were anyone else, they would’ve surely kicked someone when they’re down."

"Right, this Captain Ye is known for his good character. With our child following him, we can be at ease."

Many onlookers nearby chimed in.

Chen Jun, hearing this, was furious.

He risked everything, only to enhance Ye Hao’s reputation.

Chen Jun didn’t want to stay and listen to others praise Ye Hao.

He supported his mother and headed home.

Seeing them leave, Li Dongxiang hurriedly got up and followed.

At home, Chen Jun’s mother blocked the door.

"Do you still have the face to come in?"

"Why wouldn’t I? Don’t think I don’t know; it’s you, this old hag, behind it all."

Now that the two had already torn each other apart outside.

Li Dongxiang didn’t hold back anymore.

"Trying to push your shameless deeds onto me now, let me tell you, that won’t work."

Chen Jun’s mother was furious.

"Is someone waiting for my spot, or what, that makes your family so eager to kick me out?"

The more Li Dongxiang thought, the angrier she got. Clearly, Chen Jun and his mother wanted to kick her out of the house.

The words came out without going through her mind.

After speaking, even she was stunned.

With Chen Jun’s character, he shouldn’t have someone else outside.

Hearing her words, Chen Jun’s mother thought Li Dongxiang had figured out her intentions.

"Wha-what nonsense are you spouting!"

Seeing Chen Jun’s mother’s guilty look, Li Dongxiang said.

"I guessed right, didn’t I? You want me to give up my place, and to do that, you framed me. Today I’ll find the military leader to seek justice, and even if you kick me out, don’t think about bringing someone else in else I’ll report it as a case of marital interference."

Suddenly, Li Dongxiang understood, today’s trap set by Chen Jun’s mother must be to quickly get her out of the way for someone.

She would use this to take hold of Chen Jun and his mother.

"Mom, let her in."

Chen Jun heard what Li Dongxiang said from inside.

Thinking it over, it made sense; if he wanted to climb upward quickly, he needed to make Yang Lin his as soon as possible.

If Li Dongxiang were dismissed and Yang Lin was immediately brought in to marry.

What others thought didn’t matter, but if Li Dongxiang were to constantly cause scenes at the military base.

That would definitely affect him.

Since everyone knew Li Dongxiang had cheated.

He had to treat her nicely and figure out a way to send her far away without impacting his future life and career.

Understanding all this, he opened the door from inside, letting his mother allow Li Dongxiang in.

After coming in, Li Dongxiang sat on a stool.

Staring intensely at Chen Jun.

"What’s wrong, staring at me like that?"

Being stared at by Li Dongxiang made Chen Jun uncomfortable.

"I never thought, after all these years of marriage, it would end like this."

Li Dongxiang felt she might have many faults, but she was devoted to Chen Jun.

For his sake, she had offended many in the military.

That’s why no one stood up to help her today.

Because Chen Jun always claimed that Ye Hao had taken his position.

That’s why she targeted Gu Yi constantly and joined hands with Yang Lin to scheme against her.

Unexpectedly, this was how she was treated by Chen Jun in the end.

She felt she had had enough of such a life; since Chen Jun’s mother arrived.

Whenever displeased, they took it out on her.

Last time, she was beaten so badly by Chen Jun that she couldn’t get out of bed for days.

Perhaps today’s incident, for her, was a blessing in disguise.

But she wouldn’t let Chen Jun and the others off easily.

After finishing, Chen Jun stood silently by the side.

"Fine, if we’re done, let’s separate. But you’ll have to give me 1000 yuan, or I won’t leave quietly. If I’m not beaten to death, I’ll run to the military leaders to explain and demand justice."

Knowing 1000 yuan was hard for Chen Jun to gather suddenly.

Over the years, he sent half his monthly allowance home, barely enough to live on with the rest.

They hadn’t saved much these years.

Hearing Li Dongxiang’s demand for 1000 yuan, Chen Jun’s mother was about to burst into curses.

"1000 yuan, Li Dongxiang, why don’t you just rob us."

Standing beside, Chen Jun quickly pulled his mother aside.
