Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 857 Han Xiaoxue’s call!

When Liu Guangqi heard what Liu Haizhong said, he learned that Liu Haizhong had actually given Director Li a small yellow croaker in order to get the position of deputy captain, and now wanted to ask for it back. This made him speechless about Liu Haizhong's train of thought.

When Liu Guangqi saw Liu Haizhong preparing to go to Director Li to ask for the yellow croaker, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly reached out to stop Liu Haizhong who was about to leave and asked him, "Dad! What do you want to do?"

"Let's not talk about whether Director Li will admit to accepting our small yellow croaker. Let's talk about where these small yellow croakers came from. If the higher-ups send people to investigate, how are you going to explain it?"

"Also, Director Li was able to dethrone the original director as the deputy director, which is enough to prove that he has someone behind him. If you go to Director Li to ask for the yellow croaker now, not only will you not get it back, but you will offend Director Li. Losing your job will be the least of your worries. You may even end up in jail for giving gifts to Director Li."

"What! Guangqi! What did you say? Is this matter really that serious?" When Liu Haizhong heard Liu Guangqi's words, he was so scared that his face turned extremely pale, and he asked Liu Guangqi with horror.

"Dad! What Guangqi said just now was the lightest thing. If you go to Director Li now, not only will you not get the small yellow croaker back, but Director Li will also hate our entire family. Then, I'm afraid you won't be the only one to be in trouble. Our whole family will suffer from you." When Liu Guangqi's wife Deng Meijuan learned what Liu Haizhong had done, a speechless expression appeared on her face, and she spoke to Liu Haizhong.

When Liu Haizhong heard his daughter-in-law's words, he thought of the small yellow croaker he had given away and murmured to himself with heartache: "My small yellow croaker! I worked so hard to save it, and it just went down the drain like this."

Although Liu Guangqi felt very sorry for the small yellow croaker that Liu Haizhong gave away, he cared more about his own future than his own.

Liu Guangqi heard Liu Haizhong's mumbling and saw the distressed and fearful expression on Liu Haizhong's face. He said to Liu Haizhong, "Dad! Every lesson is a lesson for you! If you have any ideas in the future, you can discuss them with me and Meijuan. Don't do such stupid things again."

When Liu Haizhong heard Liu Guangqi's instructions, he suddenly remembered the reason why he gave Li Huaide a gift. He pulled out his belt from his trouser waist and whipped Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who were standing in the room watching the fun, cursing: "It's all because of you two little bastards. If you hadn't come back to provoke me, I wouldn't have brought the small yellow croaker as a gift. I'm going to whip you to death."

Because of Wu Aiguo's advice, Liu Haizhong had not beaten Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu for a long time. Liu Guangtian, who was watching the fun, suddenly changed his face when he saw Liu Haizhong pulling the belt, and he quickly ran out of the house.

Compared with Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu's reaction was half a beat slower. When he saw the belt being pulled out from his bangs, he remembered to dodge the belt. Just as he turned around and prepared to escape, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and the fleeing Liu Guangfu couldn't help but gasp.

Liu Haizhong, who was already furious, saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye. He was so angry that he yelled, "Liu Guangtian! Liu Guangfu! If you have the guts, don't come back."

"Hasn't Liu Haizhong beaten a child for a long time? Why did he do it again today?" When the residents in the yard heard the noise of Liu Haizhong beating a child, they all showed curious expressions on their faces.

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

At around 8 o'clock the next morning, when Wu Aiguo was sitting in his office and reading a report, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. Wu Aiguo picked up the phone on his desk without even looking up and asked politely, "Hello! I'm Wu Aiguo. Who is this?"

Han Xiaoxue, who was already more than six months pregnant, heard Wu Aiguo's question on the phone and immediately said, "Brother Aiguo! It's me! I'm Han Xiaoxue!"

When Wu Aiguo heard Han Xiaoxue's voice on the phone, he showed a puzzled expression on his face. He smiled and asked Han Xiaoxue curiously: "Xiaoxue! Why did you suddenly call me today?"

When Han Xiaoxue heard Wu Aiguo's question, she first glanced at Han's father standing in front of her, and then asked Wu Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo! Are you free at noon today? My dad wants to treat you to a meal?"

Wu Aiguo was already very surprised that Han Xiaoxue called him. Now that he knew that Han Xiaoxue's father wanted to treat him to lunch, Wu Aiguo was puzzled. He asked Han Xiaoxue curiously, "Xiaoxue! Why did your uncle suddenly want to treat me to a meal?"

When Han Xiaoxue heard Wu Aiguo asking why his father invited him to dinner, she quickly introduced him, "Brother Aiguo! The situation is like this. My father is a section chief at the Kyoto City Industrial Bureau. He heard that you and I live in the same compound, so he wanted me to invite you out for dinner."

Although Han Xiaoxue is Xu Damao's wife, the baby she is pregnant with is Wu Aiguo's child. Theoretically speaking, Han's father can be considered half his father.

Wu Aiguo heard Han Xiaoxue's introduction and learned that Han's father worked in the Kyoto Industrial Bureau. He immediately guessed why Han's father invited him to dinner, and then smiled and said to Han Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue! Uncle is an elder after all. How can I let an elder treat me to dinner?"

"How about this? I'll ask our company cafeteria to arrange a table for you at noon and invite you to come to our company for lunch?"

Wu Aiguo's answer made Han Xiaoxue very happy. However, thinking of the reason why her father invited Wu Aiguo to dinner, Han Xiaoxue said to Wu Aiguo with some embarrassment: "Brother Aiguo! Besides my dad, there are also several of his colleagues. And my dad invited you to dinner because he wants your help with something. How can I let you treat me to a meal?"

When Wu Aiguo heard what Han Xiaoxue said, he immediately understood what she meant. He smiled and said to her, "Xiaoxue! Then ask your uncle where we will arrange lunch. I promise to arrive on time."

When Han Xiaoxue heard Wu Aiguo's question, she immediately said to him, "Brother Aiguo! We will arrange lunch at the small cafeteria at my dad's workplace. You can come directly to my dad's workplace after get off work."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Han Xiaoxue said, he didn't hesitate and replied, "Okay! Then I promise to come as soon as I get off work."

After seeing Wu Aiguo agreed, Han Xiaoxue said to him happily, "Brother Aiguo! Then I won't disturb you from working. See you at noon."
