B5SB -Chapter 153 Refusing Sister Su

At the Kun City Textile Factory, The annual leave was only three days. In order to go back to Beijing, Gu Yihan had taken several extra days off before and after the New Year.

After returning, she had been busy for several days in a row and finally finished all her work.

Her belly was already about the size of a grapefruit. Sitting for too long made her waist feel uncomfortable, so she gently rubbed it with her hand.

“Xiao Han.”

Hearing someone call her, Gu Yihan stopped rubbing her waist and looked up at Sister Min, who seemed hesitant.

“What’s wrong, Sister Min?” she asked.

“If Sister Su asks you to help find a partner for her daughter, you must not agree.”

Gu Yihan was stunned. Wasn’t Sister Su’s daughter about to get married before she left?

Sister Min’s face looked terrible.

“They broke up.”

Only then did Gu Yihan realize she had spoken her thoughts out loud.

She leaned back slightly, stretched her arms, and smiled.

“Got it.”

Sister Min had been holding it in for a long time. Taking advantage of the moment when Su Yonghong was out, she whispered,

“If you don’t listen to me and end up getting tricked, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Seeing how serious Sister Min looked, Gu Yihan laughed.

“Don’t worry, Sister Min. I don’t even know any outstanding people.”

Sister Min finally relaxed a little. Thinking of Su Yonghong’s domineering family, she gritted her teeth.

“Outstanding? Even street loafers aren’t worthy of their family.”

Gu Yihan was curious. What had Su Yonghong done to make Sister Min so angry?

Before the New Year, Sister Min had still felt sorry for her daughter.

How had their relationship worsened so suddenly after just one Spring Festival?

“Xiao Han, what kind of look is that?”

Sister Min suddenly asked.

“Ah…”

Gu Yihan smiled awkwardly.

“Nothing.”

Sister Min rolled her eyes and snorted.

“You haven’t seen how ugly their behavior was.”

Gu Yihan’s eyes lit up with curiosity.

Sister Min didn’t disappoint her.

“Not giving any dowry was bad enough. The groom’s family didn’t complain. At first, they said the bride could take away fifty yuan as bride price, but in the end they gave nothing. The groom’s family still agreed.”

With a helpless expression, Sister Min asked, “Guess what they did on the wedding day?”

Gu Yihan shook her head quickly.

“How would I know? Stop teasing me.”

Sister Min took a deep breath and said, “On the wedding day, when the groom’s family came to pick up the bride, her family blocked the door and demanded one hundred yuan, or they wouldn’t let her leave.”

Gu Yihan was dumbfounded. How ridiculous.

Sister Min continued, “The groom refused and said the wedding was off and asked for the bride price back. Then Sister Su’s husband threatened to call the police, saying the groom had already slept with their daughter and couldn’t get the money back. Even now, the groom’s family hasn’t gotten the money back. They’re complete rogues.”

Sister Min was furious. She had been the matchmaker, and in the end she offended both sides.

Gu Yihan sighed.

“Sister Min, take it as a lesson learned. Next time, don’t be a matchmaker.”

Sister Min rolled her eyes.

“Exactly. That’s a warning for you. Don’t let Sister Su trick you…”

Creak.

Hearing the door open, Sister Min swallowed the rest of her words.

Su Yonghong came in, sat down at her desk, and worked quietly.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon time to get off work.

Gu Yihan packed up slowly. These days, as long as he wasn’t busy, Lu Huailin would come to pick her up.

After Su Yonghong entered, Sister Min didn’t say another word. She was also the first to leave after work.

As Gu Yihan walked out of the office, Su Yonghong stopped her.

“Xiao Han, Sister Su wants you to help with something.”

Gu Yihan turned around and smiled politely.

“Sister Su, I probably can’t help you.”

Su Yonghong hadn’t expected such a direct refusal.

Gu Yihan tried to walk past her.

Su Yonghong grabbed her arm and said awkwardly, “You haven’t even heard me yet. How do you know you can’t help?”

Gu Yihan pulled her arm back, her smile gone.

“Sister Su, we only work together. We’re not that close. Whether I listen or not, I can’t help.”

With that, she walked away.

Outside the Textile Factory, Lu Huailin stood with his bicycle, scanning the crowd.

Many workers already knew he was Officer Gu’s husband.

Some whispered enviously, “Officer Gu’s husband is really handsome.”

“More than that. He’s so attentive to her.”

Seeing him from afar, Gu Yihan jogged over.

Lu Huailin took her bag and reminded her, “Don’t run, okay? What if you fall?”

She smiled.

“It’s fine.”

Just as he turned the bike around, he was startled by a woman staring at him resentfully.

He quickly turned to Gu Yihan.

“Honey, I don’t know this comrade.”

Gu Yihan frowned at Su Yonghong, who was blocking the bicycle.

“Sister Su, what are you doing?”

Only then did Lu Huailin relax, realizing she knew her.

Su Yonghong ignored Gu Yihan and looked at Lu Huailin softly.

“I’m Xiao Han’s colleague. She promised to help find my daughter a soldier boyfriend, so I…”

“Shut up!”

Gu Yihan shouted angrily.

“Sister Su, are you still asleep? How dare you make things up in front of me!”

Lu Huailin didn’t know the reason, but he trusted his wife.

He patted her back gently.

“Don’t be angry, honey. You’re pregnant.”

Hearing this, Su Yonghong stiffened and forced an ugly smile.

“Xiao Han, I didn’t know you were pregnant.”

Tears rolled down her face. She wiped them away.

“If I had another way, I wouldn’t have come to you.”

Gu Yihan felt no sympathy.

“Sister Su, there’s nothing I can help you with.”

With that, she sat sideways on the bicycle and looked at Lu Huailin.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Huailin didn’t even glance at Su Yonghong. He mounted the bike and rode toward the residential compound.
