"Me too."
Little Yu'er wanted to follow Old Xiao to the crime scene as well.
In the end, the family of three put on their down jackets and drove to Haining Community.
On the way, Xiao Hongwei called the staff on duty at the police station and asked if anyone in the vicinity of Haining Community had called the police. The staff told him that everything was normal.
Old Xiao knew that the news was most likely fake.
When they arrived at Chen Hansheng's house, it was even more peaceful. The setting sun faintly shone between the two buildings. Red firecrackers were scattered everywhere. A group of children were shouting and playing downstairs. There were also a few old people leisurely playing chess.
Hearing the crisp sound of chess pieces being placed, Lv Yuqing was confused. "If Old Chen and his wife fought and were sent to the ICU, the neighbors wouldn't be so calm."
"Then it must be a rumor."
Old Xiao spat on the ground and turned to comfort his daughter. "It must be a rumor. How could Chen Zhaojun fight with Liang Meijuan? Don't worry about it."
"Oh."
Little Yu'er pouted and nodded. Judging from the reactions of the neighbors, it indeed didn't seem like a crime scene.
Did Xiao Chen … Chen Hansheng lie to me again?
Seeing his daughter's hesitation, Xiao Hongwei felt a little helpless. My silly daughter really can't let go of Chen Hansheng.
"Let's go upstairs and ask about it."
In order to reassure his daughter completely, Old Xiao climbed up the stairs.
No one answered when he knocked on the door, but it didn't matter. Aunt Xia, a key member of the Gossip Committee of Haining Community, was right opposite. She opened the door and heard the whole story. She was very angry.
"Who's gossiping behind their backs?"
Aunt Xia said indignantly. "Old Chen and Meijuan just had a quarrel. It's impossible for them to divorce. If I find out who's spreading the rumor behind their backs, I'll slap them hard."
Aunt Xia didn't even realize that she was the one who spread the rumor.
However, it didn't matter anymore. Xiao Rongyu already knew the "truth" from the neighbor.
First, Uncle Chen and Aunt Liang did have a quarrel, and it seemed that they were going to divorce.
Secondly, it was because of his relationship with Chen Hansheng.
Third, they didn't make a move. In the end, Chen Hansheng took them to Jianye to celebrate the New Year.
Hearing this answer, Fishy was finally relieved, but she also felt very apologetic. Uncle Chen and Aunt Liang actually quarreled to the point of divorce because of her and Xiao Chen …
"Chief Xiao, you police officers better arrest those people who spread false rumors and sentence them to eight to ten years!"
Auntie Xia was still furious. Cursing her good neighbor on New Year's Day was too infuriating!
"Okay, okay, okay, I understand."
Old Xiao thanked him and was about to leave when Auntie Xia suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."
"What happened?"
Xiao Hongwei's family stopped in their tracks.
"Knock, knock, knock ~"
Auntie Xia swayed her fat body and ran home. When she came out again, she was already holding a bag of lotus root clips. "Little Yu 'er, right? Meijuan and I are colleagues and neighbors. I watched Chen Hansheng grow up. What I want to say is that although he is naughty, he is very filial and smart. He is also very tall. If you have a quarrel, you should reconcile as soon as possible."
"This is the lotus root clip that I just made. Take it home and try it. Hansheng used to like it a lot."
Auntie Xia stuffed it into Little Yu 'er's hands and closed the door without giving her a chance to refuse.
"What should I do?"
Little Yu 'er looked at her parents blankly.
"Take it home."
Xiao Hongwei sighed. In fact, it could be seen from this that Uncle Chen and his wife usually had a good relationship with their neighbors.
Such a family was really suitable to be in-laws. Why did the two young people suddenly break up?
Uncle Xiao shook his head regretfully and drove away with his wife and daughter.
However, at Auntie Xia's house, she was cleaning up while talking to her friend on the phone. "Let me tell you, Bureau Chief Xiao came over just now and asked about Old Chen and Meijuan's quarrel. They looked so anxious. Old Xiao's daughter was so anxious that she almost cried."
"I can tell now that Hansheng and Director Xiao's daughter will definitely not break up!"
Auntie Xia said solemnly.
… ….
In fact, not only was there a bit of chaos in Harbor City, Chen Hansheng and Liang Meijuan also received a lot of phone calls on the way. Chen Hansheng listened and understood why Little Yu 'er suddenly called him and especially cared about Uncle Chen and Liang Meijuan.
"This is too funny."
Chen Hansheng laughed and said, "There are also rumors that he was hospitalized because of a fight. You two have no sense of humor, but you actually made everyone silent."
"Who said that I have no sense of humor?"
Empress Dowager Liang just finished explaining to a friend. She put down her phone and said, "I gave birth to you. Isn't that a funny thing?"
"Er …"
Chen Hansheng didn't dare to force her anymore. He continued to drive silently.
Uncle Chen sat in the back seat, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. It turned out that his wife was coldly staring at him through the rearview mirror.
"Ahem ~"
Chen Zhaojun coughed and quickly closed his eyes to pretend to rest.
Empress Dowager Liang was the "big devil" in the family. The arrogant son was afraid of her, and the wise and generous husband loved her. If there was a romance novel, Empress Dowager Liang would definitely be treated as the female lead.
However, there were two benefits to this blunder. First, Uncle Chen and Empress Dowager Liang were busy explaining and didn't really discuss the division of the family property. Second, there was a point of reconciliation between Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu.
This point of reconciliation was very, very small, and could even be ignored. The only thing that changed was that Xiao Rongyu pulled Chen Hansheng's number out of the blacklist.
They arrived at Jianye around 7 pm. While his parents, second uncle, second aunt, and mother-in-law were chatting, Chen Hansheng secretly sent a message to Little Yu'er.
Chen Hansheng: We're in Jianye.
Little Yu'er didn't reply.
After a while, he sent another message.
Chen Hansheng: When you called me this afternoon, I didn't understand at first. Later, I found out that there was a misunderstanding.
Little Yu'er still didn't reply.
Chen Hansheng thought for a while and made up a third message.
Chen Hansheng: My parents said that whether they get a divorce or not, it has nothing to do with you. They hope that you don't put too much pressure on yourself. I wish Uncle Xiao and Auntie Lu a happy new year. I wish Grandma Xiao good health.
Actually, Little Yu'er had already seen Chen Hansheng's first two messages. She didn't reply because she felt that there was nothing to talk about with 'someone else's boyfriend'.
But when she saw the third message, Xiao Rongyu thought about the reason why Uncle Chen and Auntie Liang got into a fight and got divorced. After hesitating for a long time, she finally replied.
Little Yu'er: Thank you. You have to persuade them not to let our matter affect Uncle Chen and Auntie Liang. I also wish Uncle Chen and Auntie Liang a happy new year. Everything goes well.
The message was very ordinary, but Little Yu'er felt very conflicted. After sending it, she stared at Chen Hansheng's phone number in a daze.
If the incident in the afternoon hadn't happened, this number would definitely have been on the blacklist. But after it was pulled out, Little Yu'er didn't know if she should continue to 'act'.
"Daughter, come over and eat. We'll watch the New Year's Gala after dinner."
At this time, Lv Yuqing shouted in the dining room.
"Oh, I'm coming."
Little Yu'er let out a long breath and slammed the phone shut. She decided to leave it at that for the time being.
Xiao Rongyu comforted herself that she could blacklist him at any time anyway.
But for Chen Hansheng, it was enough that Little Yu'er could reply to his message.
"Replying to his message" was only a small step, but for their relationship, it could be said to be a big step to "break the ice".
"This is what I got by sacrificing my parents' marriage."
Chen Hansheng clenched his fists. "You must cherish it."
