Return to the Village

Qiao Wanqing, holding him in her arms, had faced Wen Yao and the others' staged scam with complete composure. She had not lost her cool in the slightest, remaining almost excessively calm. Gu Yanqing watched the video three times from beginning to end before reaching a conclusion.

Qiao Wanqing was actually quite interesting.

After thinking it over, he took out his phone. Yesterday, he had gotten Qiao Wanqing's new number from the landlord. He had no ulterior motive—he just wanted a way to contact her in case of an emergency, like this one.

He found Qiao Wanqing's number and dialed it.

Meanwhile, Xu Han was washing Koukou's butt. Oblivious to the world and carefree as ever, Koukou had just pooped a pile of mush into his diaper pocket. The smell was unbearable. Xu Han called him a little stinker, but Koukou thought she was teasing him and happily sucked on his fingers.

"You just grabbed the diaper with your own poop in it, and now you're putting those fingers in your mouth," Xu Han said helplessly as she pulled his hand out. "You little scamp."

Little Scamp seemed to know Mommy was scolding him. He buried his head in Xu Han's arms, sticking his little butt up at her.

Xu Han wiped his little butt clean and put on a diaper. When she tried to dress him, Koukou stiffened his little legs and refused to cooperate. Xu Han had no choice but to pull his head out and helplessly pat the back of it. "You already know how to get mad at such a young—holy shit! Koukou, you little brat!"

Koukou had just drooled all over her chest...

Xu Han reached for tissues to wipe her clothes, while Koukou giggled happily. She knew he was too young to understand anger or revenge, but with that little troublemaker look on his face, he really made her want to spank him.

Just then, her phone rang. Xu Han saw that it was an unfamiliar local number. After hesitating for a moment, she answered. She still had to put Koukou's pants on, so she switched on the speakerphone.

"Hello?"

"It's me." Gu Yanqing's cool voice came from the other end of the line.

Xu Han: "...How did you get my number?"

Gu Yanqing asked in return, "Is that strange?"

Fine, it was not strange. If Gu Yanqing wanted her phone number, it really would not be difficult for him to get it.

Koukou recognized Gu Yanqing's voice. The moment he heard it, he happily babbled, "Ah, ah, ah!" Gu Yanqing chuckled softly upon hearing him. "Be good, Koukou."

"Ah?" Koukou looked around curiously, as if searching for where he was.

Taking advantage of Koukou's diverted attention, Xu Han quickly pulled up his pants. Then she turned off the speakerphone, picked up the phone, and asked, "Why are you calling me?"

Feeling that her privacy had been violated, Xu Han was a little angry, and her tone was far from pleasant.

Gu Yanqing was already used to being treated this way by her, so his tone remained unchanged. "I've already found someone to deal with that matter, but don't go out for now. Some busybodies are still trying to dig up information on you. It'll be troublesome if you're recognized."

"..." So it was... Gu Yanqing who had helped them?

Xu Han's feelings were a little complicated, though she was not particularly surprised. After all, apart from Tan Yue, Gu Yanqing was the only person she knew who would help her and had the ability to do so.

"Oh." Xu Han's voice softened considerably as she said somewhat quietly, "Thanks."

Gu Yanqing gave a muffled laugh. He did not know why, but seeing the person who had just bared her claws at him like a little wildcat suddenly soften up made him feel especially accomplished.

His voice was calm. "Mm. Also, a lawyer may contact you later to ask some questions. Remember to answer the call."

"A lawyer?" Xu Han's heart skipped a beat. "What lawyer?"

"You don't need to be nervous. The baby products store was behind this. They were using the incident as a marketing stunt."

"..." Xu Han had never expected such a twist. The baby products store had actually been stirring things up behind the scenes. That was shameless beyond belief.

If this had happened to an ordinary person, they would have been exploited by them for free.

What 12 percent discount? Who knew how much money they had made off this?

Xu Han was disgusted by them. During this time, she had learned quite a few business skills from Tan Yue, including marketing tactics. She also knew that this kind of unethical, bottomless marketing was called black marketing.

"So what do we do now? Is there anything I can help with?"

"You and your friend just need to cooperate with the lawyer. I've arranged for people to gather evidence. We'll pursue this through legal channels and demand an explanation and compensation from them."

As he said this, Gu Yanqing's voice turned icy. "I'll make them cough up every cent they earned from this marketing stunt."

Gu Yanqing was not someone who quibbled over every little thing, but this matter had angered him.

They had wronged his people once, so he would make sure they learned their lesson properly.

Xu Han was completely won over. Daddy Gu, you were so cool.

After two tense and exhilarating days in the city, Xu Han was exhausted. Thinking that she could go home tomorrow, she let out a huge sigh of relief.

Farming was still simpler and happier.

Xu Han: Finally, we're going back to the village. Does that mean the male lead can finally go offline? Hahaha.

Gu Yanqing: Don't forget, this isn't a business startup novel. It's a sweet little romance about us falling in love.

Xu Han: Get lost. Don't come near me!

That evening, Gu Yanqing returned home and saw Madam Gu sitting in the living room, looking at her phone.

Because he had not returned yesterday, things between mother and son had become somewhat awkward. He truly had no interest in that Miss Tan, but Madam Gu clearly liked her very much, which gave him quite a headache.

"You're back. Perfect, come here. I have something to show you." When Madam Gu saw him, she smiled and beckoned him over, as if the discord between them yesterday had never existed.

"What is it?" Gu Yanqing handed his clothes to the butler who came to take them, then walked over to look.

"Look at this little baby. He looks quite a lot like you did when you were young!" Madam Gu showed him her phone screen. Displayed on it was none other than a candid photo from today's trending Weibo incident.

The photo had captured Koukou's face head-on. That damned uploader had not even blurred Qiao Wanqing or Koukou. His son's adorable little face had been exposed to the world without warning.
