520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

Only by telling half truth and half falsehood, half truth and half falsehood, can the lies become sincere and credible.

In addition, at Chen Aifang and Xiang Aiguo's age, as long as Chen Dejie insists that his memory is correct, they will doubt whether their own memory is wrong.

Like, now.

"Really?...why don't I seem to have any impression of that?"

When Chen Aifang heard what Chen Dejie said, her nervous expression relaxed instantly, but she was still suspicious. She stared at Chen Dejie, searching for relevant fragments in her memory.

"Yeah, I even asked you which drawer it was in that day..."

Chen Dejie added details that did not exist at all, trying to make his statement more credible.

"Really?... Hearing you mention that, I seem to remember something. I don't know what organization it is, but why do they need a household registration booklet just to get a visa?... Okay, since you've said that, then it must be correct. Go tidy up your room. Oh, and when you sweep the floor, don't sweep the garbage out the door. It'll ruin your fortune. After you sweep, wipe it off with a rag..."

Chen Aifang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to organize the things she had been doing. She put all the things that had been messed up when she was looking for her household registration book back in their original order, one by one and in an orderly manner.

At the same time, he kept chattering and admonishing Chen Dejie.

"Really, Dejie, if you took it, why didn't you tell me earlier? My ears..."

Xiang Aiguo, who was implicated in many ways, rubbed his ear, which was almost pulled off, to relieve the pain while complaining to Chen Dejie.

"How dare you say that? If you weren't so unmovable and acted like a lord at home, I'd be mad just by looking at you. Hurry up and get out of bed!"

She was calling her husband just a second ago, but after discovering that her household registration booklet was missing, she immediately subjected him to "torture". Now that the truth has been revealed, she has turned into a demon-like existence. Chen Aifang's face is still the same, ever-changing.

While Chen Aifang and Xiang Aiguo were arguing, Chen Dejie, who had weathered this difficult time, breathed a sigh of relief silently. He remained calm and responded to Chen Aifang's request:

"Okay, I understand. I'll go clean up my room now..."

In this way, the household registration book issue was settled.

Chen Dejie finally relaxed after returning to his room, back to his own territory. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took out his phone, typed a message, and sent Xiang Huanian the thrilling scene just now:

"Niannian, I'm telling you, my mom has discovered that my household registration book is missing!!!"

"But it doesn't matter. I, your wise, brave, and resourceful brother, will help you get through this!"

Next, Chen Dejie followed suit, found an emoji of someone holding their head high and their nose sticking up to the sky, sent it back to Xiang Huanian, and then continued typing his report:

"It's safe now, but remember to notify me when you're done using it, or I'm really afraid a family war of the century will break out again..."

Without asking what Xiang Huanian was going to do with the household registration book, Chen Dejie just urged Xiang Huanian to return it as soon as he was done with it.

After a string of messages that almost filled the screen, Xiang Huanian replied after a long while:

"I see. In that case, I'll use it up today and send it back by express mail to save you the trouble of coming out."

Chen Dejie vaguely felt that there seemed to be no emotion in this string of words: "Hmm..." just.

And on Xiang Huanian's side.

Thanks to Gu Lingyan's several phone calls, Xiang Huanian's household registration was also completed.

Xiang Huanian looked at the first page of the household registration booklet, the second certificate he received today.

My name is written on it, and to the right of my name, where the head of household is located, it indicates that I am a female household.

Xiang Huanian felt an indescribable and difficult-to-control excitement in his heart.

There is also a sense of pride that comes from finally being the boss of one's own house.

What's more, I can finally be liberated from the heavy burden of my original family, and feel relieved and at ease.

But deep down in my heart, for some unknown reason, an irresistible sense of loneliness emerged.

Gu Lingyan stood aside and watched Xiang Huanian stare blankly at the first page after he got the household registration booklet. He didn't know what he was thinking, but there was a complexity in his expression that even Gu Lingyan couldn't see through.

Besides the joy, there seems to be a deeper sadness.

Not wanting to let the other party indulge in that complicated, negative emotion, Gu Lingyan encouraged him:

"Congratulations!"

Xiang Huanian was brought back to reality by the congratulations and came out of his thoughts. His dazed expression still made Gu Lingyan feel distressed.

"Yes, Mr. Gu, I finally, I, I..."

It is difficult to express Xiang Huanian's mood at this moment in simple words.

But the moment Xiang Huanian turned around and saw Gu Lingyan, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

It was as if, in the cold and dark night when I was walking alone, I finally saw a candlelight that allowed me to stop for a moment and reveal its fragility, but it was an eternal candle.

Seeing Xiang Huanian like this, Gu Lingyan's heart tightened even more. Endless love wrapped around his hard heart, leaving only the softness that he particularly liked for Xiang Huanian.

Gu Lingyan didn't say much, just took a step forward and hugged Xiang Huanian tightly.

Those gentle big hands gently patted Xiang Huanian's slightly thin shoulders and back, just like the strength used by his mother to coax him to sleep when he was a child, patting him again and again, giving him silent support.

Behind Xiang Huanian are a pair of strong arms, and in front of him is a chest full of security.

The tip of his nose was wrapped in the crisp breath of rain, and the abundant male hormones, like a tranquilizer, accompanied every breath, along Xiang Huanian's respiratory tract, seeping into his lungs, nourishing every chronic disease in his body.

The sounds around me seemed to be fading away, as if the whole world was left with only me and the person I was hugging.

The land beneath your feet seems like an isolated island.

In the other person's arms, in this corner where no one could see him, Xiang Huanian couldn't help but shed tears from his eyes.

Unlike previous tears that were pure sadness and pain, tears filled with suffering and hardship, this time, Xiang Huanian's tears were mostly tears of happiness.

Finally, all the hard work paid off.

Tears of joy after seeing a bright future and hope from the suffering of loneliness.

Feeling Xiang Huanian sobbing in his arms, Gu Lingyan held Xiang Huanian's hands even tighter, giving Xiang Huanian silent strength.

The two of them hugged each other and stood outside the house in this cold winter. They didn't know how long they had been standing there, but neither of them felt cold. On the contrary, because of the intertwining of their breaths, they felt warm from body to heart.

"Mr. Gu, thank you."
