1987 My Era

Chapter 637, Right and Wrong, The Eve of the Storm

As soon as Zhou Shihe reached the entrance on the first floor, she bumped into Li Heng, who was rushing inside.

Because Li Heng practically ran in, his force was considerable. The frail Zhou Shihe almost fell, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, reaching out her right hand to grab the doorframe and steady herself.

Li Heng instinctively reached out his hand, but seeing her glance at him, he paused, then withdrew his hand and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Zhou Shihe remained silent, then lowered her head, walked past him, and left.

Well, Miss Zhou still wasn't too willing to talk to him. Knowing his own limitations, Li Heng stopped worrying and continued walking upstairs.

He had only just reached the corner of the stairs when Xiao Han's figure came into his sight.

Li Heng stopped and secretly observed his cunning wife's facial expression.

Xiao Han walked gracefully up to him and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Li, there's a lot of blood on the second floor. Please go and deal with it quickly."

Li Heng: "..."

He didn't respond, but pulled her around and walked out of the school.

On the way, the two ran into Ye Ning and Sun Manning.

Sun Manning first greeted Xiao Han, then asked Li Heng, "Li, the great writer, your wife is here. You're going to cook lunch today, right? Can Ye Ning and I join us for lunch?"

Ye Ning silently applauded, thinking to himself that this young lady Man Ning's skin was thicker than a city wall. He could never say such a thing. It seems he still has a lot to learn.

Li Heng asked, "It's already this late, and you haven't eaten yet?"

Sun Manning said with a grin, "The school food isn't as good as your cooking."

Li Heng glanced at Xiao Han, but Xiao Han unexpectedly picked up the conversation crisply: "My husband and I are going to eat at a restaurant outside the school. Manning, you guys come along, it'll be more fun with more people."

"Where are you going off-campus? Never mind then, we won't disturb you two lovebirds." With that, Sun Manning waved and quickly left.

Seeing this, Ye Ning also left.

As Xiao Han watched her children walk away, she wondered to herself: Did they contribute to the death of the ginkgo tree?
Xiao Han had this suspicion because Sun Manning had just given her an excellent reason to be suspicious.

Knowing full well that she and Li Heng were a couple, and knowing that it wasn't easy for them to get together, Sun Manning still wanted to come over for dinner. Her intentions were obvious, and it was clear that she wasn't a docile person.

Xiao Han pondered: Perhaps Sun Manning would prefer Mai Sui to marry Honey? Otherwise, her words and actions wouldn't make sense.

Of course, it's possible that Sun Manning became mentally disabled after getting into university.

But could the other person be mentally challenged? Xiao Han suddenly felt that falling in love with a man who was too outstanding was really tough. Everyone was eyeing him with ulterior motives, and she had unknowingly become a public enemy.

As Li Heng walked out of the school gate, he saw his cunning wife leading him towards Old Li's Restaurant. He asked, "Are we really going to eat out?"

Xiao Han said miserably, "Going home to cook now would offend people, wouldn't it?"

Li Heng smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat out then. This afternoon we'll go back to our new home on Wukang Road, and I'll cook dinner for my wife."

Xiao Han revealed a sweet dimple and said in a clear voice, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

In a fit of anger, she had a quarrel with Yu Shuheng, and that afternoon she even took Yu Shuheng away.

Unconsciously, she won another round, and her mood immediately improved.

...

the other side.

After running a short distance, Ye Ning gave a thumbs up and said, "Sun Manning, you're amazing! You actually dared to stab Xiao Han in the back. I thought they probably went to the market to buy groceries and cooked at home, but now that you've said that, they probably really have to go to a restaurant."

Sun Manning curled her lips and said, "Do you think I want to? Isn't it all for Mai Sui? Think about it, if Li Heng and Xiao Han are all lovey-dovey in Building 26, and even sleep in the same bed at night, what do you think Mai Sui would think?"
Mai Sui might feel jealous and upset inside, but she couldn't show it.

As her sister, I naturally have to help her. Even if I can't stop Li Heng and Xiao Han's relationship, at least I can at least avoid seeing them.

Ye Ning chuckled and said, "Sure, sure, absolutely! But speaking of which, you've said several times that you want Li Heng to sleep with you so you can continue being best friends with Sui Sui. Honestly, are you just saying your true feelings as a joke? Are you testing Li Heng's reaction?"

"Get out! Get the hell out of here! Get the hell out of here!"

Sun Manning was furious and kicked him, saying, "I've always treated him like a brother. Don't talk nonsense. If Mai Sui misunderstands, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Ye Ning, who was more than half a head taller than him, was kicked hard, but he didn't care. He bent down and patted the dust off his trousers: "It's good that you're joking, otherwise I would have to save up money to buy you a coffin in advance and collect your corpse. Don't you think that even my cousin, who is as beautiful as her, failed to sleep with Li Heng? You little brat, do you think you can succeed?"

Sun Manning puffed out her chest, "At least my breasts are bigger than yours."

"What's the use of Guangda? You're not as charming as Shihe, nor as alluring as Maisui. If you were in ancient times, you'd be fit to be a wet nurse in the palace," Ye Ning retorted.

"You flat-chested girl, how dare you laugh at me?" Sun Manning reached out and pinched her breasts, then burst into laughter: "Damn it, how come you stuffed a wad of cloth in there? Hahaha..."

With the secret exposed, it's now Ye Ning's turn to chase after Sun Manning and beat her up...
...

Lao Li Restaurant.

During lunch, I unexpectedly ran into Principal Sun and his wife, as well as Huang Ziyue.

Li Heng went over and chatted with Principal Sun and his wife for a while, then privately instructed Old Li Restaurant to add two more main dishes for the principal, and then paid the bill.

Huang Ziyue had been secretly observing Xiao Han, constantly comparing herself to Xiao Han, but as she kept comparing, she almost became withdrawn.

Upon noticing their granddaughter's unusual behavior, Principal Sun and his wife exchanged a glance, then shook their heads helplessly, looking as if they were at a loss for what to do.

When it came time to pay the bill, Principal Sun learned that someone had paid for him. He smiled and pulled his wife out of the restaurant. There was no need to ask who paid the bill, because he knew it was someone even if he had to guess with his toes.

Back at school, his wife whispered to her husband, "What exactly happened? Has Ziyue fallen for Li Heng?"

Principal Sun said, "This is obvious."

The wife asked, "Doesn't he have a girlfriend?"

Principal Sun said, "It's because I have a girlfriend that I only dare to look at her secretly, otherwise I would just pounce on her."

The wife slapped her husband's arm: "Can't you be serious for once? You're so old, how can you make fun of your own granddaughter like that?"

Principal Sun looked up at the sky and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; you don't need to worry about these things."

His wife was a little worried: "You know Ziyue's temper. Judging from her behavior just now, I'm afraid she won't let this go so easily."

Principal Sun waved his hand: "It's no use that he won't give up. Ziyue can't compete with the Yu family's daughter, and Li Heng, who is too busy to be in two places at once, won't even look at her."

He could say whatever he wanted about his precious granddaughter, but no one else could be disrespectful to her. His wife frowned and asked, "What's wrong with my Ziyue that Li Heng doesn't like her?"

Principal Sun didn't argue with his wife, but simply said, "You must have heard of the widely circulated 'Fudan Xiao Wang,' right? This Li guy has many female confidantes, but the least attractive ones are all of this caliber."

Having lived at Fudan University, what kind of gossip hadn't he heard? His wife naturally knew something about Xiao Wang from Fudan, and immediately asked in astonishment, "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Principal Sun nodded: "Didn't you go to watch the school's evening parties a few times out of boredom? The host, Mai Sui, is Li Xiaozi's confidante."

Recalling Mai Sui's charm on stage, the wife was speechless. Family is family, but Zi Yue really couldn't compare to that girl named Mai Sui. "I heard from a professor in Lushan Village that Li Heng and Mai Sui are living together. As school leaders, are you really turning a blind eye and not reminding him to be more discreet?"

"A reminder? With the Yu family girl around, we don't need to meddle in this. It won't make the newspapers." Principal Sun was quite relieved.

The wife said, "But this is a matter of conduct, isn't it?"

Principal Sun smiled and said, pacing back and forth, "He's not in politics. He's a literary giant. It's normal for him to have a few close female friends to inspire his writing and experience life. If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, we can all just keep it to ourselves."

His wife understood: Li Heng's influence was too great, his fame too great, his literary and musical works too outstanding, and he was also a super-rich man, to the point that his wife automatically ignored Li Heng's private life issues, even to the point of condoning and protecting him.

During lunch, Li Heng served his wife with utmost care, afraid that his cunning wife would bring up the matter of the ginkgo tree.

As a result, Xiao Han seemed unaware of the situation, as if she had a bad memory. She didn't mention the ginkgo tree or her female confidantes at all, and focused on eating the food he picked out for her until she was full.

"Ugh, I'm stuffed. Mr. Li, you're too good at flattering me." Xiao Han, who hadn't eaten this much in a long time, let out a comfortable burp.

Li Heng thought to himself, "If I don't serve you well and shut you up, I'll be scared too."

After the meal, the two returned to Lushan Village to retrieve their bags, only to find that both buildings number 25 and 27 were locked, and it seemed that neither of them was home.

Noticing this, Xiao Han, like a victorious rooster, darted through the alley, thinking to herself: Being the official girlfriend does have some effect, but it's a pity that my two ginkgo trees died so tragically.

Now she has come to her senses. Judging from this year's ginkgo trees, the death of last year's ginkgo tree was by no means accidental. It was most likely that it was persecuted to death by some vicious woman.

With their bags in hand, the two left Fudan University and headed straight for their new home on Wukang Road.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw a letter on the bedside table, and judging from the handwriting, it was Song Yu's.

Li Heng was taken aback. When did his cunning wife become so generous as to exchange letters with Song Yu?

He didn't think Song Yu would take the initiative to write a letter to the scheming man; it was probably Xiao Han who wrote first, and Song Yu who replied.

Seeing him staring blankly at the letters on the bedside table, Xiao Han reached out and put the letters in the drawer, locking it in front of him. However, she didn't hide the key from him and put it in the dressing table drawer right in front of him.

Li Heng really wanted to ask: Do you have any contact with Song Yu?
But it was just a thought; unless necessary, he wouldn't be foolish enough to mention another woman in front of one.

Moreover, the other woman, Song Yu, is the person the scheming daughter-in-law fears most.

Perhaps it was intuition, or perhaps he was overthinking things because he felt guilty, but when he saw the letter, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He had a feeling that something big was going to happen in the near future.
