Chapter 30 The Neighbors' Situation

Just as Gu Yunting had said, the other side didn't come looking for them, but after a short while, they heard the sound of spanking and a child crying.

“They actually eat meat every week, but that child is so annoying. He's always making a fuss, and he throws a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants. Sometimes, when they can't take it anymore, my sister-in-law and her husband will just hit him and he'll behave.” In the end, it's all because the family spoils him.

He was given whatever he wanted, which eventually led to his current lawless personality, to the point that even his own parents can hardly control him.

Fortunately, my sister-in-law and the others are easy to get along with and won't make a fuss over such a small matter.

Zheng Jiayu breathed a slight sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried about encountering children who wouldn't listen to reason, and in the end, wouldn't we be the ones who suffer?"

Most importantly, if someone comes knocking on their door, should they give them the meat or not?

If one company gives it to you, will the other give it to you too?

How much would you give?

They wouldn't even give them a dollar or two, and if they gave more, the pheasant was only so big. If they gave it to them, would the couple still eat it?

Seeing Zheng Jiayu's relieved expression, Gu Yunting suppressed a laugh and said, "Don't worry, our neighbors are all quite easy to get along with."

Gu Yunting began to introduce Zheng Jiayu to their neighbors.

Previously, because Shen Xizhen and her group caused trouble, and Zheng Jiayu had just arrived, Gu Yunting hadn't specifically introduced their neighbors to Zheng Jiayu.

Now that we're on the topic, let's talk about it together.

Their neighbors are all very easy to get along with. Although each family has its own little problems, they don't involve the neighbors. If they need any help, they just need to tell them and they will come over immediately.

They won't speak ill of others.

Listening to what Gu Yunting said, Zheng Jiayu also learned about the situation of the surrounding neighbors.

They were all the same team leaders as Gu Yunting, just like him.

There are two children in the family, and the elderly do not live here.

Their wives all came from the brigade.

As for the two families across the street, one is Gu Yunting's superior and the other is his neighbor. They rarely interact with the people in the family compound.

"I understand."

"Tell me if you encounter anyone you don't know, and I'll tell you if they're easy to get along with. That way, you'll know how to interact with them when you approach them." Gu Yunting was still worried that Zheng Jiayu would be bullied here.

I'll be too embarrassed to tell him then.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you if I'm wronged."

"That's good."

After learning about her neighbors, Zheng Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief, but she remained vigilant.

This family compound feels very different.

That's quite interesting.

Especially Shen Xizhen and Shen Lin.

One person, driven by the need to maintain connections with the Gu family, is determined to relentlessly pursue Gu Yunting.

As for Shen Xizhen, although Zheng Jiayu didn't know why he was chasing after her, she could guess why he was approaching her.

This person is definitely approaching her because they want to get something from her.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to us directly.

Seeing Zheng Jiayu's thoughtful expression, Gu Yunting asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about Shen Xizhen. I feel like I've overlooked something important." Zheng Jiayu was seriously thinking about everything from when she first met Shen Lin until after.

At first, Shen Xizhen didn't seem to have any feelings for her, even during their first meeting.

But the second time they met, it was completely different. The person looked at him with a sense of inquiry and interest.

It's as if I'm some kind of interesting object.

Yes, it's just an object.

"Tell me more about it."

“Shen Xizhen’s attitude towards me has changed drastically. At first, she looked at me with a questioning gaze, but she wasn’t interested. But now it’s different. Now Shen Xizhen looks at me like she’s looking at prey.” Zheng Jiayu told Gu Yunting her thoughts.

Do you remember when the change started?

Zheng Jiayu carefully went through the whole matter and said to Gu Yunting, "It was after Shen Lin asked Wu Xiaohua to slander me."

"Didn't Shen Xizhen come to us after that and say that she had already taught Shen Lin a lesson? That's where it all started."

That time?

That time, Shen Xizhen told Shen Yang what Shen Lin had done.

Could it be that Shen Yang said something to Shen Xizhen that made Shen Xizhen have different feelings for Zheng Jiayu?

This realization led Gu Yunting to begin to doubt Shen Yang.

If that's the case, then what was Shen Yang's purpose in doing this?

What exactly does Shen Xizhen want to achieve by getting close to Zheng Jiayu?

Is it simply a matter of wanting to break them up?

No.

Given Shen Yang's character, this matter is definitely not that simple.

"Did you think of something?" Zheng Jiayu asked, leaning closer to Gu Yunting when he suddenly became serious.

“I did think of something, about Shen Xizhen’s father, Shen Yang,” Gu Yunting told Zheng Jiayu.

After listening, Zheng Jiayu said thoughtfully, "If what you say is true, then what is Shen Yang's purpose? What does he want to get from me?"

Gu Yunting immediately became serious: "Jiayu, your whereabouts may have been exposed."

Zheng Jiayu was taken aback at first, then thought of someone: "You mean Shen Xizhen's father, Shen Yang?"

Gu Yunting nodded.

“Yes, if Shen Yang didn’t know your identity, he wouldn’t have asked Shen Xizhen to get close to you, and even tried to sow discord between us.”

“Shen Yang is a man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and is willing to sacrifice everything. For Shen Yang, Shen Xizhen is a huge community of interest that he can use for marriage alliances and that can help him obtain many unexpected things. But this time, he sent Shen Xizhen to get close to you. I’m afraid that in his eyes, you are more valuable than Shen Xizhen could have been.” Gu Yunting said with certainty.

For Shen Yang, a man who wouldn't do anything without personal gain, sending his son out would be harder than climbing to heaven. His sudden action now suggests he has ulterior motives.

"Be careful during this time, and don't let Shen Xizhen find out. I'll have someone investigate Shen Yang."

"good."

Zheng Jiayu felt somewhat relieved that the two of them had suddenly thought of this matter, which led them to suspect Shen Yang.

If Gu Yunting's investigation confirms that Shen Yang is indeed problematic, then their conversation today truly saved her life.

Even if they can't do anything right now, at least they can protect themselves for the time being and stay vigilant and not believe anything Shen Xizhen says.

Seeing Zheng Jiayu's somewhat frightened expression, Gu Yunting patted her on the shoulder: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you some practical self-defense techniques every day, so that you can have some self-protection ability and use it in critical moments."

Zheng Jiayu nodded seriously.

When Gu Yunting is not around, you need to be able to protect yourself better.
