1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 260 They've got Gu Qingye's Achilles' heel
Du Shuang suddenly dropped a bombshell and then remained silent for a long time, making Du Guanghan feel uncomfortable in his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs.

He didn't want to ask at all, but Du Shuang was already here, so he had no choice but to ask.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Du Guanghan thought it might be just more complaints, or that they would continue to pressure him to deal with Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou, but he never expected to hear the word "kidnapping"!

"What did you say? You bribed Gu Shuchen to deal with Lu Youyou?!"

Du Guanghan's vision went black again, and he shakily took out nitroglycerin and swallowed it.

"You...you do you know who Gu Shuchen is?"

Du Guanghan really wanted to knock open Du Shuang's head to see what she was thinking!
"Do you know what kidnapping means, huh?"

"You know very well that Gu Bohuai cares a lot about them, Lu Youyou is the wife of his son whom he finally found. Do you even know what you're doing, Du Shuang?!"

A barrage of questions rained down on Du Shuang, but her eyes remained fixed, and she kept her mouth shut, only her trembling lips revealing her panic.

Of course she knew, but she just couldn't stand it.

There seemed to be an inexplicable sense of urgency pushing her from behind, and a voice kept telling her that if she didn't act quickly, she and Yuanzheng might lose everything.

Du Guanghan was like an ant on a hot pan; he couldn't understand how someone could cause such a huge disaster.

He kept complaining, and Du Shuang suddenly shouted, "Enough!"

Du Guanghan's heart stopped for a second, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He dared not get excited anymore and sat down on the sofa, panting heavily.

Du Shuang appeared to be delirious, even somewhat incoherent.

"Do you think Gu Bohuai is doing nothing just because he's silent? What if he finds out what happened back then? Can you still rest easy?"

"You! You..." Du Guanghan was shocked.

What does this mean? What do you mean he can rest easy? Does it mean he did everything and Du Shuang bears no responsibility at all?!

Du Shuang seemed to have no idea what she was saying. Her mind was in complete turmoil, and she was sure she would go crazy if she didn't vent it.

"What do you mean 'you'? We're in this together. If I die, you won't be any better off. Now that it's happened, what do you suggest we do?"

Du Guanghan was furious. He was just a lowly deputy head of the Xiaowenyu Township, and the culprit who had failed to scheme against Lu Youyou and had just returned from hiding. What could he do?!

"Du Shuang, I am your brother, not your enemy. You acted impulsively and now you expect me to save you. Do you think I can save you?"
I've already caused you so much trouble, I've done more than enough, what more do you want from me?

Du Shuang sneered: "Was that for me? Wasn't it for your own wealth and status?"

And so, without warning, that thin veil of pretense was ruthlessly torn away.

Enraged, Du Guanghan pointed to the door and said, "Fine, fine, get out of here! Get out now!"

He managed to hold back the "get lost" that almost escaped his lips.

The brother and sister parted on bad terms for the first time, little did they know that they would rarely have the opportunity to sit down and discuss the future of the Du family again.

Du Shuang's premonition was correct; Gu Bohuai had uncovered the truth of what happened back then, and the Du family would indeed have no future.

The next morning, after the doctor's rounds, Lu Youyou immediately completed the discharge procedures.

Even with someone by your side, it's hard to say what the quality of sleep is like in a hospital.

Gu Qingye took half a day off to take her home. Not long after they entered the house, there was a knock on the door. When Lu Youyou opened the door, she saw Lu Zhiyu and Lin Nanxing. She was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"

Lu Zhiyu's "seclusion" period this time was particularly long, and she hadn't seen him for almost half a year.

Lu Zhiyu looked his daughter up and down, and said with a serious face, "You've already put yourself in the hospital, how could we not come?"

Lin Nanxing put his arm around Lu Youyou and scanned her up and down like an X-ray. He was relieved to see that she was alright.

"You didn't say a word when you went to the hospital. Are you planning to keep it a secret from your parents since they're not coming?" Lin Nanxing looked at her disapprovingly. "What did the doctor say? Is everything alright?"

Lu Youyou blushed slightly and, unusually, hugged her mother and acted coquettishly: "It's okay, I could have come back yesterday, but Gu Qingye was worried and insisted that I stay overnight."

"I should stay overnight; I can't be careless about my health!"

At this moment, Gu Qingye also walked over. As soon as Lu Zhiyu saw him, his face immediately darkened, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Is this what you meant by taking good care of her?"

Gu Qingye sincerely admitted his mistake: "Dad, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

"You have nothing to apologize to me for. The one who should apologize is Youyou. Your family's mess has caused Youyou to suffer. You're fine this time, but what about next time? Can you guarantee you'll always be this lucky?"

Gu Qingye didn't try to deny it at all, nor did he ask Lu Zhiyu how he knew. Youyou had indeed suffered an undeserved misfortune, and what her father-in-law said was true.

“The person who did it has been dealt with. I will keep an eye on things and make sure that Youyou doesn’t suffer in vain. I will also give your parents an explanation.”

Lu Zhiyu didn't say anything. He was very unhappy with Gu Qingye. He would feel sorry for Lu Youyou even if she lost a single hair, let alone when she was threatened.

He walked ahead, flicking his sleeve. Lu Youyou winked at Gu Qingye, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Gu. Just bear with it, it will pass."

Gu Qingye smiled and ruffled her hair.

It was his fault, and he deserved to be scolded. The harsher Lu Zhiyu scolded him, the more it reminded him that he had to crush the Du family.

Gu Qingye listened attentively to his father-in-law's lecture. Lin Nanxing took Lu Youyou back to the room, personally performed a full-body examination, and then reviewed the medical records in detail.

"Youyou, why don't you go back to Beichizi for a while? Qingye isn't home every day, and we're worried about you being alone."

Lu Youyou thought about it and agreed. It wasn't that she was afraid; there was really no need to risk her life, in case the Du family became desperate and did something rash...

"This will also make Xiao Gu anxious. Don't think that we can just let this matter of bullying you go."

Lu Youyou looked at her mother in surprise and couldn't help but laugh out loud. This time, she had hit Gu Qingye's weak spot.

Sure enough, when Gu Qingye heard that his wife wanted to go back to her parents' home, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he swallowed his objections.

After Lu Zhiyu and Lin Nanxing left, he immediately pulled Lu Youyou onto his lap, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and kissed her repeatedly.

Lu Youyou was tickled and kept trying to hide behind her, but Gu Qingye's arms were made of steel, and no matter how she dodged left or right, she couldn't escape.

She patted his chest breathlessly, her words broken and intermittent by laughter.

"Okay...oh dear...hahahaha...um...stop fooling around..."

Gu Qingye was reluctant to let go. Although he no longer kissed her, his hands almost completely enveloped her back.

The two clung tightly to each other, their heartbeats, though slightly different, were strangely in sync.
