B5SB -Chapter 208 Venting Emotions

Why did Ye Qingqing come here?

And make such a big scene?

Gu Yihan looked at her, eyes full of confusion.

“Qingqing, what’s wrong with you?”

Hu Shan, seeing Ye Qingqing’s chest and abdomen heaving violently, asked with concern.

Hearing Hu Shan’s question, Ye Qingqing shifted her gaze from Gu Yihan to her.

“Xiao Shan? What are you doing here?”

Hu Shan quickly stood up, went to Ye Qingqing’s side, and pulled her to sit at her own desk. She looked at the slap mark on her face.

“What happened to your face?”

Ye Qingqing’s mind flared up. Fueled by that sense of rivalry she always felt toward Gu Yihan, she had stormed over here in one go.

At first, she hadn’t even felt wronged, but now, hearing Hu Shan’s concerned voice, the tears of grievance flowed down uncontrollably.

She wiped her eyes while speaking: “It was Brother Jiang who hit me!”

What? Brother Jiang hit her?

Hu Shan was shocked as she looked at Ye Qingqing’s swollen, red cheeks, and carefully touched them.

Wow, so hot.

He must have used tremendous force.

Curious, Hu Shan asked, “Why did he hit you?”

Gu Yihan looked at Ye Qingqing in puzzlement.

Thinking of how she had just kicked the door, she silently prayed it had nothing to do with her!

But the next moment, Ye Qingqing, her eyes red, raised a hand and shouted at Gu Yihan: “It’s all because of her!”

Gu Yihan’s expression darkened immediately.

Just what she feared has happened!

Had she really provoked a top-level troublemaker? Or was this some bonus from her transmigration?

Although she didn’t know why Ye Qingqing had been slapped by Secretary Jiang, it was because of her actions—but she wouldn’t take the blame for it.

Gu Yihan deliberately widened her eyes and gasped in feigned surprise.

Curiously, she asked, “What did you do that angered usually gentle Secretary Jiang enough to hit you?”

Hu Shan, hearing Gu Yihan exaggerate by calling Secretary Jiang gentle, tugged the corner of her mouth.

Her eyes stayed on Ye Qingqing, waiting for her answer.

To Ye Qingqing, Gu Yihan’s tone sounded like a provocation, a taunt.

She had already cried, vented her emotions, and felt a little less suffocated inside.

“It’s because you seduced Brother Jiang to get a raise, and I just said something.”

Hu Shan smacked Ye Qingqing on the back and said irritably, “Serves you right.”

Gu Yihan’s dark eyes were full of fury. She looked coldly at Ye Qingqing and sneered: “Seduce Secretary Jiang? Is he even worthy?”

Hu Shan nodded repeatedly. Just because Jiang was her cousin, that didn’t mean they should lie.

He really couldn’t compare to Gu Yihan’s lover.

“What do you mean?”

Ye Qingqing almost blew a fuse hearing that.

She stood up in a flash, intending to march over to Gu Yihan, but Hu Shan firmly grabbed her arm.

Gu Yihan’s eyes flickered with impatience. She sneered: “Someone like Secretary Jiang, only you would treat him like a treasure.”

Ye Qingqing pulled hard to free her arm, but it wouldn’t budge. She turned to Hu Shan, eyes wide, glaring.

She shouted, “Listen to this—Gu Yihan actually mocks Brother Jiang!”

Hu Shan awkwardly smiled at Gu Yihan: “Qingqing, she doesn’t mean any harm, she’s just too concerned about Brother Jiang.”

Ye Qingqing glared at Gu Yihan. “Brother Jiang is such a good person, and you dare say he’s not worthy!”

Hu Shan pressed Ye Qingqing back down onto the chair while she stomped her foot and spoke.

She leaned close to Ye Qingqing’s ear and whispered: “Xiao Han’s lover is an officer.”

“What’s wrong with being an officer? Does that mean an officer’s wife can look down on others?” Ye Qingqing raised her voice, stiff-necked.

Now Gu Yihan understood. Ye Qingqing had come purely to pick a fight and vent her emotions.

Glancing at the watch on her wrist, it was almost time to get off work.

Gu Yihan said perfunctorily: “Your Secretary Jiang is rare to find, both in the heavens and on earth. Alright?”

She had no time to waste on Ye Qingqing’s nonsense.

Besides, people like this don’t learn until they hit a wall. Once they’ve suffered enough, they’ll go home on their own.

Seeing Gu Yihan remain silent, Ye Qingqing straightened her back, lifted her head, and felt proud that she had ‘won’ the argument.

“Brother Jiang is the most perfect person in my heart.”

Hu Shan watched Ye Qingqing continue praising Secretary Jiang, her face twisted in frustration—so her slap had been completely wasted.

At the Family Compound, Gu Yihan pushed open the courtyard gate and saw a stranger in military uniform smiling while talking to Grandma Gu, who was holding Haohai.

The soldier, hearing the noise, turned to Gu Yihan and smiled: “Hello, sister-in-law.”

Gu Yihan didn’t recognize him and gave a slight smile and nod.

Grandma Gu smiled and introduced: “This is Deputy Battalion Commander Ding. He brought us two jin of eggs.”

Gu Yihan walked to Grandma Gu, took Haohai from her arms, and said with a smile: “Grandma, your granddaughter is going back inside first.”

Grandma Gu nodded and turned to continue chatting with Deputy Battalion Commander Ding: “You’re too kind. Tiedan has helped me a lot.”

Gu Yihan carried Haohai back to the bedroom and placed him on the bed.

She used her consciousness to pluck a fruit from the space tree and put it into the little guy’s mouth.

Then she kissed his cheek and asked with a smile, “Is it good?”

Haohai puckered his lips, even sticking a finger in his mouth, but after searching for a moment, found nothing.

He looked at Gu Yihan’s hand with clear eyes, stretched out his little hands, and called: “Ma~”

Gu Yihan laughed at Haohai’s actions and held her hand out in front of him, spreading it open.

“Tickle, tickle.”

Grandma Gu carefully pushed open the bedroom door, came over to her granddaughter, and said with a smile: “Deputy Battalion Commander Ding is Tiedan’s father.”

“How did he come to our house?” Gu Yihan asked, curious.

Grandma Gu sighed: “Well, Tiedan had dinner here, and he brought a gift in return.”

A return gift?

Gu Yihan was puzzled: “Why is Deputy Battalion Commander Ding the one who came?”

“Because Tiedan’s biological mother passed away from illness, and Deputy Battalion Commander Ding remarried,” Grandma Gu said, shaking her head.

Gu Yihan thought about that day, when she interacted with Haohai. The boy had looked so envious, probably thinking of his own biological mother.

“Xiao Han.”

Gu Yihan looked at Grandma Gu’s expression and softly asked: “Grandma, is something wrong?”

Grandma Gu opened her mouth but didn’t know how to tell her granddaughter.

Earlier that afternoon, Gu Meng’s lover had sent a message through the soldier at the gate.

He asked for help taking care of Gu Meng for a month when she gave birth.

Seeing Grandma Gu hesitate, Gu Yihan worried she was in some discomfort but was too thrifty to say it.

She quickly asked: “Grandma, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Grandma Gu thought for a moment, smiled, and shook her head: “Grandma is perfectly fine.”

Better to wait until Gu Meng is about to give birth before telling her granddaughter.
